3.       Source and Amount of Funds
         Of the total of 500,000 shares disclosed in my original Schedule 13D
         dated August 12, 1993 (see first three paragraphs of Item 5(c)),
         25,000 shares were purchased on the open market for $800,000.00 with
         personal funds taken from savings of the Sol and Helen Price Trust,
         450,000 shares were purchased at the closing of a public offering for
         $14.625 million with funds from repayment by the Company of a Note
         Payable to the Price Family Charitable Trust and 25,000 shares were
         purchased on the open market for $800,000.00 by myself as Trustee of
         the Price Family Charitable Trust with Trust funds that were available
         for investment.

         All 32,200 shares disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to my Schedule 13D
         dated December 20, 1993 (see fourth through eighth paragraphs of Item
         5(c)) were purchased with personal funds of the Sol and Helen Price
         Trust as follows:

<TABLE>
                 <S>              <C>            
                 12/17/93         17,200 shares @ $30.75 in a private transaction;
                 12/20/93          5,000 shares @ $29.75 on the open market;
                 12/21/93          5,000 shares @ $29.75 on the open market; and
                 12/23/93          5,000 shares @ $29.25 on the open market.
</TABLE>

                 The total dollar amount was $972,650.00.

         See Item 5(c) for a discussion of additional purchases, including the
         sources and amounts of funds used in making such purchases.

4.       Purpose of Transaction
         The purpose of the acquisitions of the securities was for investment
         purposes only.  I may be making additional purchases from time to time
         in the future for investment purposes but have not determined the
         extent of such purchases, if any.  The articles and bylaws of The
         Price REIT, Inc. prevent any shareholder from acquiring more than 9.8%
         of the total shares outstanding.

                 On January 3, 1994, I became successor Trustee of the Mandell
                 Weiss Trust U/T/D September 18, 1981.  The Trust owns 15,000
                 shares of Price REIT "B" common shares over which, as Trustee,
                 I have sole voting and dispositive powers.  However, I
                 disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares.

                 On December 21, 1994, I made bona fide gifts of 3,900 shares
                 as Trustee of the Sol and Helen Price Trust U/T/D 2/20/70.

                 On December 1, 1994, I made bona fide gifts of 4,100 shares as

                 On October 1, 1994, I received 928 shares as Trustee of the
                 Sol and Helen Price Trust U/T/D 2/20/70 under the Price REIT's
                 dividend re-investment program.

                 On October 1, 1994, I received 14,266 shares as Trustee of the
                 Price Family Charitable Trust U/T/D 3/13/84 under the Price
                 REIT's dividend re-investment program.

                 On June 30, 1994, I received 772 shares as Trustee of the Sol
                 and Helen Price Trust U/T/D 2/20/70 under the Price REIT's
                 dividend re-investment program.

                 On June 30, 1994, I received 11,860 shares as Trustee of the
                 Price Family Charitable Trust U/T/D 3/13/84 under the Price
                 REIT's dividend re-investment program.

                 On June 20, 1994, I resigned as Co-Trustee of the Mandell
                 Weiss Trust U/T/D September 18, 1981 and ceased to have any
                 voting or dispositive powers over the 15,000 shares held by
                 that Trust which were reported on my Schedule 13D filing of
                 January 12, 1994.  I had disclaimed beneficial ownership of
                 these shares at that time.

                 On September 5, 1995, I consented to act as successor
                 Co-Trustee of the Earle I. and Marion Brodie Trust.  The Trust
                 owned 62,943 shares of Price REIT common stock at that time.
                 Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the assets
                 subsequently were split into Trust I which continued to hold
                 the 62,943 shares and Trust II.  As Co-Trustee, I have shared
                 voting and dispositive powers over these shares.  However, I
                 disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares.

                 total cost of $778,520.00.  All purchases were paid for with

                 of these shares.

                 Between April 24, 1996 and April 30, 1996, the Earle I. and
                 Marion Brodie Trust I acquired 10,000 shares on the open
                 market at prices ranging from $29-1/8 to $29-3/8 per share for
                 a total cost of $293,004.70.  All purchases were paid for with
                 personal funds of Trust I.  I disclaim beneficial ownership of
                 these shares.

                 On April 22, 1996, I was appointed Attorney-in-Fact by Dorothy
                 Goldberg, Trustee, of the Joseph and Dorothy Goldberg Trust
                 U/T/D June 8, 1981.  The Trust owned

                 4,000 shares of Price REIT common stock at that time.  As
                 Attorney-in-Fact, I have sole voting and dispositive powers
                 over these shares.  However, I disclaim beneficial ownership
                 of these shares.

                 On May 8, 1996, I purchased 3,000 shares of Price REIT common
                 stock as Attorney-in-Fact for the Joseph and Dorothy Goldberg
                 Trust.  The shares were purchased at $29-1/4 per share for a
                 total cost of $88,482.50.  The purchase was paid with personal
                 funds of the Trust.  I disclaim beneficial ownership of these
                 shares.

                 Between April 19, 1996 and April 24, 1996, I purchased 10,000
                 shares of Price REIT common stock as Trustee of the Sol and
                 Helen Price Trust on the open market at prices ranging from
                 $29-1/8 to $29-1/2 per share for a total cost of $293,075.00.
