              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

             THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1997
             -------------------------------------------------------



1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
       ---------------------

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Registrant,
without audit, except as to the balance sheet as of August 31, 1997, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In
the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows, have
been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

On October 14, 1997, the Registrant filed a Form 8-K announcing its intention to
change its fiscal year-end from August 31 to December 31. On February 17, 1998,
the Registrant filed a Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the transition period
from September 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997. As such, the consolidated financial
statements herein include the Registrant's new calendar quarter and most
comparable prior fiscal quarter.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform with
current year presentation.

2.     THE TRO TRANSACTION:
       -------------------

On September 30, 1997, the Registrant completed a series of related transactions
pursuant to which the Registrant: (i) transferred substantially all of its real
estate interests to a newly formed operating partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), of which the Registrant is the sole general partner; (ii) the
Operating Partnership acquired all of the non-voting common shares of The Rubin
Organization, Inc. ("TRO"), a commercial real estate development and management
firm (renamed "PREIT-RUBIN, Inc."), constituting 95% of the total equity of
PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 200,000 Class A Operating
Partnership ("OP") Units and a provision to issue up to 800,000 additional Class
A OP Units over the next five years according to a formula based upon the
Company's per share growth in adjusted funds from operations; (iii) the
Operating Partnership acquired the interests of certain affiliates of TRO ("TRO
Affiliates") in The Court at Oxford Valley, Magnolia Mall, North Dartmouth Mall
and Springfield Park; (iv) the Operating Partnership agreed to 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

acquire the interests of TRO Affiliates in Hillview  Shopping Center,  for which
construction is  substantially  complete,  and Northeast Tower Center,  which is
currently under construction, at prices based upon a pre-determined formula; and
(v) the Operating  Partnership  acquired the  development  rights of certain TRO
Affiliates, subject to related obligations, in Christiana Power Center (Phases I
and II), Red Rose Commons and Blue Route Metroplex.

All of the acquisitions described above have been recorded by the Registrant
using the purchase method of accounting. The Registrant accounts for its
non-controlling investment in PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. using the equity method. The
excess of purchase price of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. over the fair value of net
tangible assets acquired is being amortized over thirty five years.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid to acquire the assets and
businesses described above:

7.    CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

Cash paid for interest was $2,395,000 (net of capitalized interest of $311,000)
and $2,138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and February 28, 1997,
respectively.

8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
      -----------------------------

Environmental matters have arisen at certain properties in which the Registrant
has an interest for which reserves have previously been established. In
management's opinion, no material incremental cost will be incurred on these
properties.

The Registrant has been named as a defendant in a suit brought by persons and
their affiliates who are partners of the Registrant in three partnerships. The
Registrant is vigorously defending the suit and has denied the plaintiffs'
allegations. The Registrant also believes that it has viable claims against
certain of the same partners (or their affiliates) which it is asserting. As the
pleadings are not yet closed and discovery is ongoing, it is not possible to
judge the ultimate outcome of these suits at this time. However, management does
not believe that resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect
on the Registrant's financial condition or results of operations.

9.    ACQUISITIONS:
      ------------

On January 26, 1998, the Registrant acquired the remaining 50% interest in a
shopping center under construction located in Newark, Delaware, for a purchase
price of at least $8.7 million consisting of $6 million in cash, $2.7 million to
be paid through the issuance of operating partnership (OP) units upon completion
of the shopping center, and a contingent payment to issue additional OP units
upon completion of construction based on a predetermined formula which
calculates the agreed-upon value of the center.

10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
      ----------------

On April 1, 1998, the Registrant sold its 40% interest in Charter Pointe
Apartments (formerly Windsong Apartments) located in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Total net gain on the sale of the property was approximately $4.4 million of
which the Registrant's proportionate share is approximately $1.7 million.

11.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
      --------------------------------

In March 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued 97-11, "Accounting
for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisition." The EITF
concluded that internal costs related to the acquisition of operating properties
should be expensed as incurred. The adoption of this pronouncement will have no
impact on the Registrant as the Registrant has not previously capitalized
internal costs relating to the acquisition of operating properties.

The TRO Transaction
- -------------------

On September 30, 1997, the Registrant acquired The Rubin Organization, Inc.
("TRO", renamed "PREIT-RUBIN, Inc."), a commercial property development and
management firm, and certain related real estate interests (the "TRO
Transaction").

As part of the TRO Transaction, the Registrant acquired Magnolia Mall, located
in Florence, South Carolina, North Dartmouth Mall, located in North Dartmouth,
Massachusetts and a 50% interest in the Court at Oxford Valley, located in
Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The Registrant also acquired the development rights of
certain affiliates of TRO ("TRO Affiliates"), subject to related obligations, in
Christiana Power Center (Phases I and II), Red Rose Commons and Blue Route
Metroplex. In addition, the Registrant agreed to acquire the interests of TRO
Affiliates in Hillview Shopping Center, for which construction is substantially
complete, and Northeast Tower Center, which is currently under construction, at
prices based upon a pre-determined formula.

The TRO Transaction was financed through the issuance of 646,286 Class A
Operating Partnership Units in PREIT Associates, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership), assumption of mortgage indebtedness at Magnolia Mall of
approximately $25.2 million, and $61.2 million of cash including transaction
costs. The cash was obtained primarily from borrowings under a new $150 million 
Credit Facility entered into by the Operating Partnership coincident with the 
September 30, 1997 closing of the TRO Transaction with a group of banks. The
obligations of the Operating Partnership under the new Credit Facility have been
guaranteed by the Registrant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Borrowings under the Credit Facility increased from approximately $34 million at
August 31, 1997 to approximately $90 million at September 30, 1997, following
the consummation of the TRO Transaction. On December 23, 1997, the Registrant
sold 4,600,000 common shares of beneficial interest at a price of $22.375 per
share. The net proceeds to the Registrant from the public offering, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions were approximately $97 million.
The Registrant used the net proceeds to prepay the $8.8 million mortgage loan
(8.25%) secured by Cobblestone Apartments in Pompano Beach, Florida (the
"Cobblestone Mortgage") and to repay approximately $88 million of amounts then
outstanding under the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 1997, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was set at a
margin equal to 1.7% over 30-day LIBOR. As a result of the reduction in the
Registrant's Leverage Ratio, following the December 1997 public offering, the
interest rate was reduced by 30 basis points to a margin of 1.4% over 30-day
LIBOR. In addition, the maturity date for the Credit Facility was extended from
September 30, 1999 to December 31, 2000.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>


On March 20, 1998, the Registrant borrowed $33.7 million under the Credit
Facility to repay the term loan outstanding which matured in March 1998. The
term loan accrued interest at a fixed rate of 8.62% and was secured by three
properties. At March 31, 1998 the interest rate on the Credit Facility was
7.09%.

As of March 31, 1998, $55.3 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility were
outstanding ($49.5 million directly by the Operating Partnership and $5.8
million through partnerships and joint ventures) and, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Facility, up to $94.7 million was available to fund
property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities and other uses.

In addition to amounts due under the Credit Facility during the next three
years, mortgage loans secured by properties owned by four partnerships in which
the Registrant has an interest mature by their terms. Balloon payments on these
loans total $17.0 million, of which the Registrant's proportionate share is $8.5
million.

The Registrant expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its available working capital and net cash provided by operations. The
Registrant believes that the net cash provided by operations will be sufficient
to make distributions to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. The
Registrant also believes that the foregoing sources of liquidity will be
sufficient to fund its short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future,
including capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

The Registrant expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as
property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and
other non-recurring capital improvements through borrowings under the Credit
Facility, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of
additional equity securities.

(1) Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles "GAAP") plus real estate depreciation and similar
adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures after adjustments for non-real
estate depreciation and amortization of financing costs. FFO should not be
construed as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) as an indicator of the Registrant's operating performance, or to cash
flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
measure of liquidity. In addition, the Registrant's measure of FFO as presented
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(2) Net of minority interest of $50,000 in 1998 and $66,000 in 1997.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $6,339,000 from
$3,474,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the three
months ended February 28, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
additional operating income provided by Magnolia Mall and North Dartmouth Mall
which the Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997, offset by accrued bank
interest on debt repaid in December 1997 and the timing of other working capital
changes.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10,542,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of
$3,273,000 for the three months ended February 28, 1997. Investing activities in
the 1998 period include payment of costs related to properties under development
of $8.7 million. Investing activities in the 1997 period included $2,000,000 of
proceeds from the sale of three shopping centers located in Pennsylvania in
Lancaster, Waynesburg and Beaver Falls.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,335,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $4,438,000 used for the three months ended
February 28, 1997. Financing activities in the 1998 period include proceeds from
the Registrant's credit facility in the amount of $44,951,000 of which
$33,681,000 was used to repay bank mortgage notes payable, dividends paid to
shareholders and OP unit holders of approximately $6,552,000 and payment of
equity offering costs of $934,000. Financing activities in the 1997 period
include dividends paid to shareholders in the amount of $4.1 million.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998 and February 28, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Gross revenues from real estate increased by $3,409,000 to $13,526,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the three-month period
ended February 28, 1997. The 1998 period included $3,352,000 of revenues
attributable to Magnolia Mall and North Dartmouth Mall, which the Registrant
acquired on September 30, 1997. Revenues from properties owned during both
periods increased by $57,000 primarily as a result of an increase in apartment
revenues of $86,000.

Property operating expenses increased by $865,000 to $5,040,000. The 1998 period
included $1,124,000 of expenses attributable to Magnolia Mall and North
Dartmouth Mall which the Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997. Operating
expenses from properties owned during both periods decreased by $259,000
primarily due to decreases in utility and other operating costs for apartments
of $220,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $583,000 to $2,138,000 primarily as a
result of depreciation of $411,000 on the addition of the Magnolia Mall and
North Dartmouth Mall properties and increased amortization of financing costs.
Depreciation from properties owned during both periods increased by $115,000.

Interest expense decreased by $270,000 to $1,978,000. Interest expense
attributable to properties increased by $316,000 due to the acquisition of North
Dartmouth Mall, which the Registrant acquired on September 30, 1997 offset by
the repayment of the mortgage on Cobblestone Apartments in December 1997.
Interest expense incurred against the Registrant's Credit Facility decreased by
$586,000 as a result of interest savings from the repayment of amounts borrowed
under the Credit Facility from proceeds of a public offering in December 1997.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures increased by $756,000 to
$1,475,000 as a result of the Registrant's purchase of a 50% interest in Oxford
Valley Road Associates on September 30, 1997, the income of which was $120,000,
and the non-recurrence in the 1997 period of a prepayment penalty in the amount
of $519,000 due to the refinancing of debt at Regency Apartments. The 1997
period also includes income from properties sold during 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

1997 in the amount of $29,000.  Equity in the income of properties  owned during
both periods increased by $146,000.

Equity in net loss of PREIT-RUBIN for the 1998 period was $358,000.

The gains on the sales of interests in real estate of $1,461,000 in the 1997
period relates to the sale of the Registrant's interest in three shopping
centers located in Pennsylvania, in Lancaster, Waynesburg and Beaver Falls.

Minority interest increased by $194,000 to $277,000 as a result of the Class A
OP units issued in connection with the TRO Transaction.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased to $4,593,000 from
$2,981,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior year.

Year 2000 Issue
- ---------------

The Registrant has recognized the need to ensure that its systems, equipment and
operations will not be adversely impacted by the change to the calendar year
2000. The Registrant has initiated the process of identifying potential areas of
risk and the related effects on planning, purchasing and daily operations. No
estimates can be made as to the potential adverse impact resulting from the
failure of third-party suppliers and tenants to prepare for the year 2000.
However, the Registrant does not anticipate the total cost of successfully
converting all internal systems, equipment and operations to the year 2000 to
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of 
operations.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to the litigation between the Registrant and affiliates of the
Registrant and Daniel Berman and Robert Berman and/or entities owned or
controlled by them (collectively, the "Bermans") most recently described in Item
3 of the Registrant's Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended August 31,
1997, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 1997.

In December 1997, the court in the Delaware Litigation issued an opinion
granting partial summary judgment in favor of the Registrant and certain of its
affiliates on certain counterclaims of the Bermans in that action (which
counterclaims are substantially similar to the claims made by the Bermans as
plaintiffs in the Pennsylvania Litigation). Under the court's decision: the
Bermans would be liable for one-half of (i) the costs incurred at Eagles' Nest
and in respect of the 14 acre undeveloped tract in Coral Gables, Florida, and
(ii) reasonable environmental clean-up costs at Fox Run; and the counterclaims
of the Bermans relating to Eagles' Nest and Fox Run were dismissed. The court
did not dismiss counterclaims by the Bermans in the Delaware Litigation alleging
that (i) there had been an oral modification of the management agreement
relating to Fox Run (and the court therefore permitted the Bermans to continue
to manage that project until that claim is resolved), and (ii) the environmental
clean up costs incurred by certain of the Registrant's affiliates at Fox Run
were excessive.

The Registrant intends to continue to vigorously defend plaintiffs' claims in
the Pennsylvania Litigation and the defendants' remaining counterclaims in the
Delaware Litigation and to pursue the claims asserted by the Registrant in the
Delaware Litigation. Management does not believe that resolution of these
matters will have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's financial
position or results of operations.

Item 5.  Other Information
         -----------------

On January 26, 1998, a wholly owned affiliate of PREIT Associates, L.P., the
operating partnership of the Registrant, effectively acquired both the fee
interest in the land for Phase I of the Registrant's Christiana Power Center
retail project and the 50% interest in the project not previously owned by the
Registrant. The consideration paid for the acquisition of such land and interest
was $6.0 million plus the right of the transferror to receive Limited Partner
units in PREIT Associates, L.P. upon completion of the Center. The value of the
limited partner units to be issued will be equal to approximately $2.7 million
plus 50% of the equity value of the Center to be computed following completion
based upon an agreed-upon formula. Units of limited partner interest in PREIT
Associates, L.P. are redeemable for cash equal to the price of the Registrant's
shares at the time of redemption, or, at the option of the Registrant, shares of
the Registrant on a one-for-one basis. Construction of Phase I commenced in the
fourth quarter of 1997 and substantial portions of the Center are expected to be
completed in the fourth quarter of 1998.
