          PROPOSED MERGER. In February 1998, the Company and PSI agreed, subject
to certain conditions, to merge. Upon the merger, each outstanding share of the
Company's Common Stock Series A (other than shares held by PSI or by holders of
the Company's Common Stock Series A ("Series A Shareholders") who have properly
exercised dissenters' rights under California law ("Dissenting Shares")) will be
converted into the right to receive cash, PSI common stock or a combination of
the two, as follows: (i) with respect to a certain number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock Series A (not to exceed 20% of the outstanding Common
Stock Series A of the Company, less any Dissenting Shares), upon a Series A
Shareholder's election, $22.57 in cash, subject to reduction as described below
or (ii) that number (subject to rounding) of shares of PSI common stock
determined by dividing $22.57, subject to reduction as described below, by the
average of the per share closing prices on the New York Stock Exchange of PSI
common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading
day prior to the special meeting of the Company's shareholders. The
consideration paid by PSI to the Series A Shareholders in the merger will be
reduced by the amount of cash distributions required to be paid to the Series A
Shareholders by the Company prior to completion of the merger (estimated at $.93
per share) in order to satisfy the Company's REIT distribution requirements
("Required REIT Distributions"). The consideration received by the Series A
Shareholders in the merger, however, along with any Required REIT Distributions,
will not be less than $22.57 per share of the Company's Common Stock Series A,
which amount represents the interest of the Series A Shareholders in the market
value of the Company's real estate assets at October 1, 1997 (based on an
independent appraisal) and the interest of the Series A Shareholders in the
estimated net asset value of its other assets at April 30, 1998. Additional
distributions will be made to the Series A Shareholders to cause the Company's
estimated net asset value allocable to the Series A Shareholders as of the date
of the merger to be substantially equivalent to $22.57 per share. Upon the
merger, each share of the Company's Common Stock Series B and Common Stock
Series C (other than shares held by PSI) would be converted into the right to
receive $10.90 in PSI common stock (valued as in the case of the Company's
Common Stock Series A) plus (i) any additional distributions equal to the amount
by which the Company's estimated net asset value allocable to the holders of the
Company's Common Stock Series B and C as of the date of the merger exceeds
$10.90 per share and (ii) the estimated Required REIT Distributions payable to
the holders of the Company's Common Stock Series B of $.93 per share. The common
stock of the Company held by PSI will be canceled in the merger. The merger is
conditioned on, among other requirements, approval by the Company's
shareholders. It is expected that the merger will close in the second quarter of
1998. PSI and B. Wayne Hughes own 29.8% of the total combined shares of the
Company's Common Stock Series A, B and C.
