REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST OF CALIFORNIA

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION  (Unaudited)

Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

     Real Estate Investment Trust of California is a regionally focused,
self-administered equity real estate investment trust which owns a
diversified portfolio of real estate investments.  The Trust currently
invests primarily in apartment communities which offer attractive current
returns, solid potential for long-term appreciation and earnings growth.  The
continuing policy of the Trust is to emphasize current returns, rather than
the realization of capital gains through property dispositions, although in
furtherance of the strategy emphasizing apartment investments.  Revenues of
the Trust consist primarily of rental income derived from its portfolio of
income-producing properties and to a much lesser extent interest income from
secured notes receivable.

     The Trust continues to focus on equity investments in apartment
communities in various diversified markets, including Northern and Southern
California, Arizona and Nevada.  Market conditions have adjusted investment
yields of apartment communities more in line with the general real estate
market for investment grade real estate.  In furtherance of this strategic
focus, during 1994 the Trust acquired nine apartment communities totaling
1,381 units. These and prior multi-family community acquisitions are the
basis of a major impact on the financial operations of the Trust.  No
apartment communities were acquired in the first and second quarters of 1995,
as the Trust focused its activities on the management of its core portfolio
of assets and securing long-term financing.

     The following table is a summary of apartment acquisitions of the Trust
since March of 1991:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1995, the Trust had lines of credit with Sanwa Bank
($29,000,000) and Union Bank ($7,500,000) for use in the acquisition of
income producing properties and general operating purposes, including the
payment of distributions to shareholders.  Reference is made to the Notes to
the Trust's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for full details of
the terms of these lines of credit.  As of June 30, 1995, the Trust had
outstanding balances on the lines of credit of $28,000,000.   As of July, the
Trust reduced its line of credit with Sanwa Bank to  $18,500,000 and has
retired the Union line. Outstanding balance as of July 31, 1995 on the Sanwa
line is $11,800,000.

     In order to reduce exposure to variable rate debt on the Trust's
short-term bank lines of credit, the Trust obtained, in July 1995, an
$18-million, 10-year collaterized loan with The Prudential Insurance Company
of America.  The fixed interest rate is 7.88%, with interest-only payments
and the opportunity to convert in the future to an unsecured loan.  Proceeds
of this loan were used to reduce outstanding borrowings at Sanwa Bank and
Union Bank.

     The Trust is actively marketing a number of its investments, that if
sold, would generate additional funds to be used to reduce short-term debt or
be reinvested in additional apartment communities.  There can be no guarantee
that these properties can be sold on terms acceptable to the Trust.  On
November 1, 1994, the Trust sold the La Verne Towne Center, La Verne,
California, for a net sales price of $13,300,000.  The funds were used for
property acquisitions.

     The following table quantifies cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities using information from the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows:

      As the owner of real estate, the Trust is subject to risks arising in
connection with the underlying real estate such as defaults or nonrenewal of
the leases, increased operating costs, environmental problems, financing
availability, changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real
property tax rates.  The success of the Trust also depends upon trends of the
economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation
and legislation, and population changes.

</TABLE>

     Revenues and real estate expenses increased from June 30, 1994 to June
30, 1995 primarily due to 1994 acquisitions and improvements in occupancies
and operating performances of existing apartment investments.  Approximately
66% of this increase was attributed to 1994 property acquisitions and 34% to
prior acquisition and improved occupancies and rental increases.  As new
investments were acquired, depreciation expense has increased.  In March
1994, the Trust funded the Prudential Insurance Company of America
$55,000,000 unsecured note payable.  The interest on this borrowing is the
major portion of the increase in interest expense between the periods.  These
funds were used to fund 1994 property acquisitions.  The operating costs
increased due to the 1994 property acquisitions totaling 1,381 apartment
units.

     Expenses related to apartment operations, which include payroll of
on-site personnel (such as resident managers, leasing staff, maintenance and
janitorial staff), utilities, advertising, direct office expenses and
management fees, have increased in direct relation to acquisitions of those
properties.  All operating expenses for apartment complexes, including real
property taxes and insurance, but excluding depreciation, range from
approximately 35% to 40% of gross scheduled income.  This compares to retail
and commercial properties, which are generally leased on a "net" basis with
the tenant paying operating expenses.

     The retail portfolio continues to experience weakness in rental rates
and occupancy due to the effects of the Southern California economy.
Although retail and commercial properties continue to present leasing
problems, the Trust increased revenues by approximately 5% when the first six
months of 1995 is compared with the same period in 1994.  New leases account
for the improved performance.
