                         SOUTH WEST PROPERTY TRUST INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)



         The  consolidated   financial  statements  included  herein  have  been
prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange  Commission  Regulations and
therefore  do not include all  disclosures  required  under  generally  accepted
accounting   principles.   Reference  is  made  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements  filed  with  Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1995 with
respect to significant  accounting and financial  reporting  policies as well as
other  pertinent  information  of South West Property  Trust Inc.  ("SWP" or the
"Company").  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management,  of a normal  recurring  nature and necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  Interim results of
operations are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Consolidation and presentation - The consolidated  financial statements
include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries and
partnerships in which the Company owns at least a 50% controlling interest.  The
portion of net  income  from  consolidated  properties  attributable  to persons
holding minority  interests in these  consolidated  properties is presented as a
single line item  deduction  from the Company's  operating  income in the income
statements.  Investments in  partnerships  in which the Company owns less than a
50%  interest  are  accounted  for  on  the  equity  method.   All   significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         Earnings  per share - Earnings  per share is based on the net income or
loss  attributable to the common stock and the weighted average number of shares
of common stock and dilutive  common stock  equivalents  outstanding  during the
periods presented.  Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and  1995  was  based on  20,638,952  and  16,310,567  weighted  average  shares
outstanding  during  each of the  periods,  respectively.  The  number of shares
assumed  outstanding  related  to  options  to  purchase  common  stock has been
calculated by application of the treasury stock method.

         Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily
of cash in demand deposits and money market  accounts and short-term  commercial
paper  carried at cost,  which  approximates  fair  value.  Highly  liquid  debt
instruments  purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to
be cash equivalents.

         Cash  reserved  for  additions  to property - The Company has set aside
cash  reserves  in the  amount of  $2,229,000  to  provide  for the  payment  of
recurring  replacements to certain of its properties.  In addition,  reserves in
the  amount of  $2,655,000  are being  held in escrow by  trustees  and  certain
mortgage  holders for recurring  replacements to the properties which secure the
first mortgage  financing in the original  principal amount of $100,000,000 (the
"REMIC  Financing") and two other first mortgages.  The carrying amount of these
deposits approximates their fair value.


NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

         In March 1996, the Company repaid the  $8,873,000  mortgage  secured by
the Sunset Pointe  Apartments and the  $10,693,000  mortgage loan secured by the
Oak Forest Apartments with funds from the line of credit. Mortgage loans payable
at March 31,  1996 carry a weighted  average  interest  rate of 7.83% and have a
weighted average maturity of 5.5 years.


<PAGE>

         A  portion  of the  construction  costs  of the  Company's  development
program  are  financed  with  construction  loans.  The  Company  presently  has
construction  loan  commitments  of  $68,506,000,  which bear  interest at rates
ranging from LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.  These  construction  loans,  by
their terms, generally may be extended by the Company for up to three years.

         In September  1994, the Company  obtained a revolving line of credit in
the maximum amount of up to $75,000,000.  The line of credit has a maturity date
of March 1997,  followed by an  amortization  period of two years.  The interest
rate on the line of credit is LIBOR plus 1.5%.

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with
a notional amount of $58,250,000. The Company has entered into the interest rate
swap agreement to convert floating rate  liabilities to fixed rate  liabilities.
The agreement  fixes the interest rate on this amount of the Company's  variable
rate debt at 7.9% through April 1997.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company has  capitalized
interest of  approximately  $283,000  related to construction and development of
properties.


NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

         During the first  three  months of 1996,  the  Company  accepted  notes
receivable  totaling  $453,000  from certain  officers and directors to exercise
options to purchase common stock. The notes receivable, which mature on December
31, 2003,  are in amounts of 50% of the option  exercise price and bear interest
at the Applicable Federal Rate (as published by the Internal Revenue Service) at
the date of  exercise.  Principal  will be  forgiven  ratably  over seven  years
beginning  January 1, 1997,  contingent upon continued  service as an officer or
director.  Options to purchase 83,300 shares of common stock were exercised, and
34,285  previously  issued  shares of common  stock were  applied (at the market
price of such shares at the date of such  application)  to the exercise price of
the options and were retired.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding
20,422,117 shares of common stock and 1,668,952 options to purchase common stock
(of which 421,000 are vested).

         The Company  declared  dividends  of $.26 per share of common stock for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

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

Results of Operations

         Three months ended March 31, 1996  compared to three months ended March
31, 1995 - Rental revenues for the first three months of 1996 were  $19,164,000,
a 15% increase over rental revenues of $16,622,000 for the first three months of
1995.  This increase was  primarily due to revenues from Oak Forest  Apartments,
which was fully operational  during the first quarter of 1996 and the increasing
contribution  from  the  Company's  development  properties.  Other  income  was
$192,000 for the first three months of 1996,  compared to $306,000 for the first
three months of 1995.  The  decrease in other income is primarily  the result of
the repayment of the Company's  mortgage  notes  receivable  during 1995.  Total
revenues  were  $19,356,000  for the  first  three  months of 1996  compared  to
$16,928,000 for the first three months of 1995.

         Operating  expenses  (property  operating  expenses  plus  general  and
administrative  expenses)  were  $9,143,000  for the first three months of 1996,
compared to $8,140,000 for the same period in 1995.  This increase was primarily
attributable  to  expenses of recently  completed  development  units and higher
operating  expenses on the properties that were  operational for all of 1995 and
1996. Total operating  expenses as a percentage of total revenues  declined from
48% in the first three  months of 1995 to 47% in the first three months of 1996,
primarily as the result of higher profit  margins from the  Company's  completed
development  units and general and  administrative  expenses being spread over a
larger number of units.

         Net operating income per unit (total revenues less operating  expenses,
divided by the  weighted  average  number of  apartment  units owned  during the
period)  increased from $2,826 in 1995 to $3,123 on an annualized  basis for the
first quarter of 1996. This increase is primarily due to the impact of completed
development units.

         Additions  to  property  during  the  first  three  months of 1996 were
$1,517,000,   compared  to  $836,000   for  the  first  three  months  of  1995.
Depreciation and amortization  increased  $441,000 for the first three months of
1996 compared to the first three months of 1995,  as the result of  depreciation
on completed construction and capitalized improvements made to the properties.

         Interest  expense was  $3,008,000  for the first three  months of 1996,
compared to  $2,962,000  for the first three  months of 1995.  This  increase is
attributable  to increased  balances on the  construction  loans and the line of

         Cash and cash  equivalents  at March 31,  1996  aggregated  $3,860,000,
compared to  $2,406,000  at December  31,  1995.  In  addition,  the Company has
accumulated  cash reserves of $4,884,000 to fund recurring  replacements  to its
properties.  The estimate of the requirements for these reserves is based on the
replacement  cost and  useful  lives of roofs,  pools,  boilers,  parking  lots,
exterior painting,  signage and clubroom and model apartment  furniture.  Annual
cash reserve  requirements  in 1996 are estimated to be $105 per apartment unit.
Management  anticipates that cash generated from property operations and cash on
hand will be adequate to fund working capital  requirements in the near-term and
for the foreseeable future.

         Additions to property, which includes recurring replacements as well as
capital improvements, were $1,517,000 in the first three months of 1996 compared
to  $836,000 in the first three  months of 1995.  The Company  plans to continue
upgrading its properties to increase their revenue-generating capabilities.

         In September  1994, the Company  obtained a revolving line of credit in
the maximum amount of $75,000,000.  The Company can currently draw up to a total
of  $65,050,000  on the  line  of  credit,  which  amount  may be  increased  as
additional properties are added as security for the loan. At March 31, 1996, the
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $41,800,000.

         During the first quarter of 1996,  the Company drew  $25,300,000 on the
line of credit.  Such funds were used to repay the mortgage  loan secured by the
Oak Forest  Apartments and the mortgage secured by the Sunset Pointe  Apartments
and to pay construction costs related to the Company's development program.

         The Company  plans to complete  four new  development  properties  with
1,614  units  and three  additions  or  substantial  modifications  to  existing
properties  with 422 units in 1996 and 1997. The total cost of this  development
program  is  estimated  to  be  $119,000,000.   The  Company  has  arranged  for
$68,506,000 of the estimated  development  costs to be funded from  construction
loans, and has committed to fund the remaining  $50,494,000 from available funds
or draws on the Company's line of credit.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had
funded all but $8,551,000 of this commitment.

         SWP  plans  to  spend  approximately  $6,000,000  in  1996  on  capital
improvements  to increase the  revenue-generating  capabilities  of its existing
properties. Funds for these improvements will come from available funds or draws
on the Company's line of credit.
