USA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the Trust's financial position as of March 31, 2000, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
The accounting policies followed by the Trust are set forth in
Note 1 to the Trust's financial statements in the 1999 Form 10-K,
which are incorporated herein by reference.
2. In 1987, the Trust elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust and, as such, will not be taxed on that portion of its
taxable income which is distributed to shareholders provided that
at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income
is distributed.
The Trust intends to continue to qualify as a real estate
investment trust and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes
has been made in the financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest expense increased $57,701 or 45.5 percent for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1999 due to a higher level of outstanding debt during
2000.
The $92,558 or $0.73 per share loss on sale of rental properties
was attributed to the sale of 170-174 West Shaw Avenue in Clovis,
California in March, 1999.
Net income was $287,143 or $2.40 per share for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $209,531 or $1.65 per share for
the same period in 1999.
The Trust paid distributions of $3.96 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and $3.60 per share for the same
period in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Trust expects that operating income, cash in the bank, proceeds
from the sale of properties, and borrowings collateralized by
properties will adequately meet its liquidity and capital resource
requirements in the future.
