     Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (together with its consolidated operating
partnership, PGP Inland Communities, L.P., collectively the "Company") was
incorporated in August 1993 in the State of Maryland and completed its initial
public offerings on February 18, 1994 (the "Offerings"). Prior to February 18,
1994, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Anita Realty
Enterprises, Inc. ("Realty"). Its executive offices are located at 363 San
Miguel Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660-7805.
 
     The Company operates as a self-administered and self-managed equity real
estate investment trust (a "REIT") which owns, operates, leases, acquires,
rehabilitates and develops industrial and multifamily properties located in
California and the Pacific Northwest.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company's portfolio consisted of 21 industrial
properties, containing an aggregate of 4,573,000 leasable square feet (the
"Industrial Properties") and 22 multifamily properties containing 4,110
apartment units (the "Multifamily Properties", and collectively with the
Industrial Properties, the "Properties"). In addition, during 1996 the Company
began extensive rehabilitation of an industrial property consisting of
approximately 327,000 square feet and development of an active senior apartment
community consisting of 166 units.
 
     The following table presents information on the composition of the
Company's operating properties based on the net book value at December 31, 1996:

(a) Includes the combined historical operations of the Predecessor Multifamily
    and Industrial Operations for the period January 1, 1994 to February 17,
    1994 (see Item 14(a)1- Financial Statements).
 
(b) Funds From Operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
    Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to mean net income, computed in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
    gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
    depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures ("Old Definition"). Management generally
    considers FFO to be a useful financial performance measure of the operating
    performance of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash
    flows, FFO provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the
    ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and
    other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations
    as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income
    or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance and is not
    indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO does not
    measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash
    needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and
    distributions to stockholders. FFO also does not represent cash flows
    generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by
    GAAP. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to the
    Company's calculation of FFO. On March 3, 1995, NAREIT modified the
    calculation of FFO to, among other things, eliminate amortization of
    deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets as items
    added back to net income ("New Definition") when computing FFO. See Item 6.
    "Selected Financial and Operating Data."
 
(c) Includes the effect of $3,596,000 non-recurring loss on the exchange of
    convertible subordinated debentures for common stock (see Item 14(a)
    1-Financial Statements).

                               1996 DEVELOPMENTS
 
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION
 
     In March 1996, the Company acquired an industrial property located in
Garden Grove, California with approximately 189,000 leasable square feet, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.9 million. The Company financed the
purchase with the proceeds from a 10-year, 7.3% fixed interest rate loan secured
by an existing property located in Kent, Washington.
 
     In June and July 1996, the Company acquired nine industrial properties
located in California containing an aggregate of approximately 1.4 million
leasable square feet, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $54.0
million, including budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $1.8 million.
The Company financed the acquisition of such properties primarily with the
proceeds of the 1996 Public Common Stock Offering. See "Equity Financing
Activities" below.
 
     In August 1996, the Company acquired an industrial property located in the
City of Industry, California with approximately 327,000 leasable square feet for
approximately $8.8 million. The Company intends to expend approximately $1.4
million to redevelop this property. Also in August 1996, the Company acquired
approximately 4.6 acres of land in Rancho Santa Margarita, California for
approximately $1.6 million, on which the Company is developing a 166-unit active
senior housing apartment community with estimated total capitalized costs of
approximately $8.6 million. See "Development Activity" below.
 
     In August 1996, the Company sold approximately 14.3 acres of land and an
approximately 56,000 leasable square foot industrial building located in Baldwin
Park, California to an existing tenant for aggregate consideration of
approximately $7.7 million under the terms of an option to purchase contained in
the original leases.
 
     In October 1996, the Company acquired the Miramar Business Park in San
Diego, California, a multi-tenant industrial/warehouse consisting of
approximately 186,000 leasable square feet, for a purchase price of
approximately $7.3 million. The Miramar Business Park is subject to a ground
lease expiring in July 2035.
 
     In November 1996, the Company acquired the Raintree Apartments, a 165-unit
apartment community located in Ontario, California, for a purchase price of
approximately $6.3 million which was financed by the seller for a five year
term.
 
REDUCTION IN PUBLIC INDEBTEDNESS
 
     In December 1996, the Company initiated an exchange offer (the "Exchange
Offer"), pursuant to which it offered to exchange 58 shares of its common stock
for each $1,000 in principal amount of its convertible subordinated debentures.
On December 26, 1996, the Company completed the Exchange Offer by issuing an
aggregate of 2,440,002 shares of common stock in exchange for approximately
$42.1 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated
debentures. Approximately $14.4 million in principal amount of convertible
subordinated debentures remains outstanding after the consummation of the
Exchange Offer. The debentures are traded on the American Stock Exchange.
 
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
 
     The Company has begun redevelopment of its newly-acquired industrial
property located in the City of Industry, California. See "Acquisitions and
Disposition." The redevelopment, which the Company expects to cost approximately
$1.4 million, will include the installation of additional loading facilities,
sprinkler upgrades, mezzanine level upgrades, parking lot upgrades, and cosmetic
rehabilitation of the property.
 
     In December 1996, the Company began construction on a 166-unit active
senior apartment community in the master planned area of Rancho Santa Margarita,
California. The Company estimates the total capitalized cost of this project
will be approximately $8.6 million. The community is being developed as a
community for residents 55 years and older and will be the first apartment
community in Rancho Santa Margarita specifically designed to meet the needs of
active seniors. The project is being financed with a 24-month construction loan.
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   6
 
Subject to completing construction and the property achieving certain lease-up
and operating requirements, the Company anticipates that it will refinance the
construction loan with tax-exempt credit-enhanced bonds. See "Debt Financing
Activities."
 
EQUITY FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
     In mid-1996, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $36.6
million from the issuance of 2,435,581 shares of Common Stock (including
proceeds from the issuance of 420,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to
the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) at a price of $16.375
per share (the "1996 Public Common Stock Offering"). The shares of common stock
were issued under the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3
covering a maximum aggregate offering price of approximately $112 million (the
"Shelf Registration Statement"). The Company used the proceeds of the 1996
Public Common Stock Offering to fund the acquisition of certain properties, to
repay debt and for general corporate purposes. In December 1996, the company
filed a registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act, increasing the maximum aggregate offering amount under the Shelf
Registration Statement by approximately $14.5 million.
 
     On December 31, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to issue
1,351,351 shares of Class A Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Class A Preferred Shares") to Five Arrows Realty Securities L.L.C. ("Five
Arrows") at a price of $18.50 per share. The Company is obligated to issue the
Class A Preferred Shares over the course of 1997 in a maximum of three separate
issuances, the timing of which may be specified by the Company, provided that
the Company will be charged with certain availability fees if all of the Class A
Preferred Shares are not issued before July 1, 1997. The Class A Preferred
Shares will be issued under the Shelf Registration Statement.
 
     The holders of the Class A Preferred Shares and the holders of the Common
Stock vote together as a single class. Each Class A Preferred Share is
convertible into one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment upon certain
events. The annual dividend per share on the Class A Preferred Shares is (i)
$1.70 from the date of issuance until December 31, 1997, and (ii) the greater of
$1.70 or 104% of the then-current dividend on the Common Stock thereafter. The
liquidation preference of the Class A Preferred Shares is $18.50 per share, plus
an amount equal to any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company
may redeem the Class A Preferred Shares beginning on December 31, 2001 for cash
in an amount equal to $18.50 per Class A Preferred Share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends and plus a premium initially equal to 6.0% of $18.50. This premium
decreases to zero after December 31, 2009.
 
     The Company has granted to Five Arrows, for as long as Five Arrows
maintains its ownership of either all of the Class A Preferred Shares or an
amount of voting securities that, if converted into Common Stock, would exceed
10% of the outstanding Common Stock, a seat on the Company's Board of Directors.
In addition, upon the occurrence of the failure of the Company to pay a
quarterly dividend on the Common Stock in an amount of at least $.40 per share,
the failure of the Company to meet certain earnings before interest,
depreciation and amortization budgets for three consecutive quarters or the
failure of the Company to pay accrued dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares,
Five Arrows would be granted one additional seat on the Board.
 
     Five Arrows is prohibited from transferring any Class A Preferred Shares,
or any shares of Common Stock into which such Class A Preferred Shares have been
converted, until December 31, 1997. At that time, Five Arrows will have the
right, subject to certain conditions, to demand the Company effect the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Class A
Preferred Shares or the shares of Common Stock into which such Class A Preferred
Shares have been converted.
 
DEBT FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
     Tax-Exempt Projects. In December 1996, the Company entered into a refunding
agreement to refinance all of its existing tax-exempt mortgage debt totaling
$24.9 million. As part of the refinancing, the Company established a pool
agreement with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") to provide
30-year credit enhancement on the tax-exempt projects. The effective interest
rate on the currently outstanding bonds
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
that are part of such pool agreement (other than the bonds related to Rancho
Santa Margarita project), after giving effect to credit enhancement and other
costs, has been fixed at 6.3% for 10 years.
 
     In addition to refinancing its tax-exempt projects, the Company also
received from FNMA a forward commitment, expiring December 1, 1998, to provide
credit enhancement for the senior residential community located in Rancho Santa
Margarita, California, that the Company is currently developing. The commitment
is subject to the completion of the project and the property achieving certain
lease-up and operating requirements. The effective interest rate on the
currently outstanding bonds in this commitment, after giving effect to credit
enhancement and other costs, has been fixed at 6.4% for ten years.
 
     Property Refinancings. In 1996, the Company incurred indebtedness on two
separate occasions in order to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's
revolving line of credit. First, in October 1996, the Company borrowed an
aggregate of approximately $16.9 million pursuant to three separate 14-year term
loans that bear interest at a rate of 8% for the first seven years and
thereafter at a fixed rate based upon the then-prevailing market rate. Such
loans are secured by the following industrial projects: Golden West, Vista and
Garden Grove Industrial Park. Second, in December 1996, the Company borrowed an
additional $24.5 million pursuant to a 15-year term loan that bears interest at
a rate of 7.75% for the first five years and thereafter at a fixed rate based
upon the then-prevailing market rate. This loan is secured by six of the
properties acquired with the proceeds of the 1996 Public Common Stock Offering,
namely Riverview Industrial Park, Pacific Park, North County Business Park, Bell
Ranch Industrial Park, Escondido Business Center and Bay San Marcos Industrial
Park. Each of these financings provides the Company with the ability to prepay,
without penalty, the balance of outstanding loans at the time the interest rates
are reset.
 
     The above property financing reduced the Company's revolving line of credit
obligation by approximately $39.4 million to $13.7 million at December 31, 1996,
thereby reducing the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
 
     The information in the following sections is forward looking and involves
risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact the Company's Funds From
Operations in the short and long term. Higher than expected acquisition, rental
and/or rehabilitation of properties, a downturn in the local economies and/or
the lack of growth of such economies could reduce the Company's Funds From
Operations.
 
                             INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
 
     The Company focuses on multi-tenant business parks and mid-size
warehouse/distribution facilities. Whenever possible, the Company seeks a
significant market share in its principal sub-markets so that it can accommodate
its tenants as their needs change and have an influence on trends in market
rents. The Company also seeks properties that are well-located and offer
convenient access to major distribution points, such as shipping ports, major
airports and major freeways.
 
     Management believes that the Southern California industrial property market
is poised for recovery based upon an increasing level of leasing interest and a
limited supply of new product. As evidence of this, the Company already has
observed recent increases in the prices for industrial properties and tenant
requests for longer term leases. With 72% of its industrial leases expiring
during the next three years, the Company believes it is in a good position to
capitalize on anticipated rental rate increases. The Company's industrial
properties are currently occupied by over 700 tenants, and no one tenant
accounts for more than 2.5% of the Company's total rental revenues.
 
     The Company generally offers industrial leases in the one- to five-year
range. Lease terms include, in most cases, annual adjustments based on changes
in the consumer price index and, in some cases, up to three months' free rent.
The standard lease also includes some refurbishing and tenant improvement
allowance with the amount varying depending upon the length of the lease, the
size of the space leased and the use. The Company seeks tenants primarily
involved in warehouse, distribution, assembly and light manufacturing
activities.

    MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES
 
     The Company invests primarily in two types of multifamily apartment
communities: communities oriented to family-style living and communities for
active seniors ages 55 and older.
 
     The Company focuses on family-style apartment communities with greater
concentrations of two- and three-bedroom units with rents affordable by middle
income families. The Company believes that there is a strong demand among middle
income families for affordable rental housing such as that offered by the
Company.
 
     The Company also focuses on active senior housing for individual ages 55
and older, where seniors can be involved in activities, social gatherings and
other types of entertainment with residents of their own age group. The Company
offers no assisted living or related services; the Company's properties are
oriented to those seniors interested in renting versus owning and who are able
to care for themselves. The company believes that the senior population will
continue to grow and that the market for rental housing for active seniors will
be strong. In addition, management believes that active senior housing typically
has lower operating and management costs due to lower tenant turnover.
 
     Each of the Multifamily Properties provides tenants with attractive
amenities, including a swimming pool (except Inn at Laguna Hills) and clubhouse,
and many include jacuzzis, tennis courts, sports courts and saunas. Many offer
additional features such as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, washers and dryers,
cable television and limited access gates. None of the Multifamily Properties
currently are subject to rent control or rent stabilization regulations.
However, certain of these properties are subject to restrictions based upon tax-
exempt loan requirements, such as providing a percentage of units to low income
tenants. There can be no assurances that rent control or rent stabilization
regulations will not be imposed in the future.

                               CORPORATE OFFICES
 
     The Corporate offices are located in Newport Beach, California in a
building, which is owned by the Company, that contains approximately 7,000
square feet, fully occupied by the Company.
 
                              PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
     Industrial Properties. The Company manages all of its existing Industrial
Properties in California and Pacific Northwest except for its Hayward,
California property where it has retained a local property management firm.
Commencing in March of 1997, the Company began direct management of its Hayward,
California property.
 
     The Company offers industrial leases in the one- to five-year range. Lease
terms include, in most cases, annual adjustments based on changes in the
consumer price index and from one to three months' free rent. The standard lease
also includes some refurbishing and tenant improvement allowance with the amount
varying depending upon the length of the lease, the size of the space leased and
the use. The Company will seek tenants primarily involved in warehouse,
distribution, assembly and light manufacturing activities. Standard lease terms
include a stipulated due date for rent payment, late charges (typically with no
grace period), no offset or withholding provisions, security deposit clause, as
well as many other provisions considered favorable to the landlord.
 
     Multifamily Properties. The Company currently manages all of its
Multifamily Properties in each of its regions. Each of the regions is managed by
a Regional Manager who reports directly to the Vice President of
Operations -- Apartments. Within each region, each of the Multifamily Properties
is operated by a staff of approximately six to seven individuals, including a
manager, assistant manager and/or leasing agents, and a maintenance and
apartment preparation staff. The Company locates prospective tenants for its
Multifamily Properties primarily by advertising in magazines listing available
rentals and by using firms that assist tenants in locating apartments. The
Company also does magazine and direct mail advertising. Policies and procedures
utilized at the property sites, including procedures concerning lease contracts,
on-site marketing, credit collection standards and eviction standards, follow
established federal and state laws.
 
     Individual property lease programs are structured to respond to local
market conditions. The Company attempts to balance rent increases with high
occupancy and low turnover. None of the Multifamily Properties are currently
subject to rent control or rent stabilization regulations. However, certain of
these properties are subject to restrictions based on tax-exempt loan
requirements. Standard lease terms stipulate due dates for rent payments, late
charges, no offset or withholding provisions, security deposits and damage
reimbursement clauses, as well as many other provisions considered favorable to
the property owner. Nonpayment of rent is generally handled at the properties
within 15 days from the beginning of the month, with either commencement of
collection or eviction proceedings occurring within that time period.
 
                                   EMPLOYEES
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 140 persons, of
which 118 were onsite or property related and 22 were executive office
employees.
 
                        COMPETITIVE AND OTHER CONDITIONS
 
     Competition. Within its geographic areas of operation, the Company is
subject to competition from a variety of investors, including insurance
companies, pension funds, corporate and individual real estate developers and
investors and other REITs with investment objectives similar to those of the
Company. Some of these competitors have more substantial financial resources and
longer operating histories than the Company. As an owner of industrial and
apartment real estate properties, the Company competes with other owners of
similar properties in connection with their financing, sale, lease or other
disposition and use.
 
                                       11

     Many regions of the United States, including regions in which the Company
owns properties, have in the past experienced economic recessions. Factors which
have contributed to economic downturns in the Company's markets include
downturns in the national economy and reductions and downsizing in the aerospace
and defense industries. Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions
could result in the inability of some existing tenants to the Company to meet
their lease obligations and could adversely affect the Company's ability to
attract or retain tenants.
 
     Insurance. The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended
coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to its Industrial Properties and
Multifamily Properties, with policy specifications, insured limits and
deductibles customarily carried for similar properties which the Company
believes are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances. These are certain
types of losses, such as those arising from acts of war, that are not generally
insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable.
Presently the Company carries earthquake disaster insurance on its California
properties which comprise 74% of the Company's total portfolio (as a percentage
of real estate assets); however, such insurance may not be available in the
future or may only be available at rates that, in the opinion of the Company,
are prohibitive. In the event that an uninsured disaster or a loss in excess of
insured limits should occur, the Company could suffer a substantial loss,
including loss of anticipated future revenues, while remaining obligated on
related mortgage indebtedness. The Company believes its properties were
constructed in compliance with applicable construction standards in effect at
the time of construction. The Company obtained customary title insurance
insuring fee title to its properties upon their acquisition.
 
                               ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     Information concerning properties owned by the Company is included under
"Item 1. Business."
 
                           ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is not presently subject to any litigation nor is any
litigation threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business.
 
          ITEM 4. SUBMISSIONS OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

approximately $2,300,000 for 1995 and $4,758,000 for 1996.
 
     A regular quarterly distribution of $.41 per share was paid January 10,
1997. The closing price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
March 3, 1997 was $22.625 per share. As of March 3, 1997, there were
approximately 3,800 beneficial owners of common stock.
 
     Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon the actual Funds From Operations of the
Company, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution
requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, applicable
legal restrictions and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems
relevant. Although the Company intends to continue to make quarterly
distributions to its stockholders, no assurances can be given as to the amount
of distributions, if any, made in the future.
 
     The statement on the face of this Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the
aggregate market value of voting stock of the Company held by non-affiliates of
the Company is based on the assumption that all directors and officers of the
Company were, for purposes of this calculation only (and not for any other
purpose), affiliates of the Company.

(a) Includes the combined historical operations of the Company (from February 18
    through December 31, 1994) and the Predecessor's Multifamily and Industrial
    Operations (prior to February 18, 1994). See Part IV -- Financial
    Statements.
 
(b) Per share data for 1994 was based on the weighted average common shares
    outstanding for the period February 18, 1994 (the closing date of the
    Company's initial public offering) through December 31, 1994 and the
    Company's net loss for that period.
 
(c) Funds From Operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
    Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to mean net income, computed in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
    gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
    depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures (the "Old Definition"). Management generally
    considers FFO to be a useful financial performance measure of the operating
    performance of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash
    flows, FFO provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the
    ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and
    other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations
    as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income
    as an indicator of the Company's operating performance and is not indicative
    of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO does not measure whether
    cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including
    principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to
    stockholders. FFO also does not represent cash flows generated from
    operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further,
    FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to the Company's
    calculation of FFO. On March 3, 1995, NAREIT modified the calculation of FFO
    to, among other things, eliminate amortization of deferred financing costs
    and depreciation of non-real estate assets as items added back to net income
    (the "New Definition") when computing FFO.
 
(d) Reduction in principal balance resulting from the exchange of convertible
    debentures for common stock pursuant to the Company's Exchange Offer (see
    Item 14(a) 1 -- Financial Statements).
 
     Below is the calculation of FFO consistent with the methodology
historically used by the Company reconciled to the revised calculation adopted
by NAREIT which the Company adopted as of January 1, 1996:

      ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Financial Data" and the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company
and the Predecessor Multifamily and Industrial Operations appearing elsewhere in
this report. Such financial statements and information have been prepared to
reflect the Company's financial condition as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
together with the results of operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the Company's initial period of operations and
the combined historical financial statements of the Predecessor Multifamily and
Industrial Operations prior to the consummation of the Offerings.
 
     The combined historical financial statements are comprised of the Company
and the operations, assets and liabilities of certain properties which prior to
the Offerings were owned and operated by Realty. These properties were acquired
by the Company in February 1994 in connection with consummation of the Offerings
and related formation transactions.
 
     The comparability of the financial information discussed below is impacted
by the following: the acquisition of twelve industrial properties containing
approximately 2,054,000 leasable square feet, the acquisition of one multifamily
property containing 165 units, and the disposition of 14 acres of land and a
55,656 square foot industrial building located in the Baldwin Industrial Park
project during 1996; and the acquisition of twelve multifamily properties
containing 1,736 apartment units, the acquisition of one industrial property
containing approximately 476,000 square feet, and the disposition of four
multifamily properties consisting of 1,085 apartment units during 1995; the
Offerings and other acquisition transactions during 1994, including the
acquisition of three multifamily properties containing 638 apartment units and
three industrial properties containing 2,241,000 square feet.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     For comparison purposes, the Company's operating results for the period
February 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994 have been added to the operating
results of the Predecessor Multifamily and Industrial Operations for the period
January 1, 1994 through February 17, 1994 to present the results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1994 used in the following comparisons.
 
  COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995.
 
     Multifamily rental income increased by $4,206,000 or 17%, from $24,898,000
in 1995 to $29,104,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of a 165 unit apartment project in 1996 and the acquisition of
twelve multifamily properties containing 1,736 apartment units in 1995 offset by
the disposition of four multifamily properties containing 1,085 apartment units
during the last quarter of 1995. Industrial rental income increased by
$8,590,000 or 70%, from $12,193,000 in 1995 to $20,783,000 in 1996. This
increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of twelve industrial
parks during 1996 containing approximately 2,054,000 square feet of space. As a
result of these changes total revenues increased by $12,796,000 or 32%, from
$37,091,000 in 1995 to $49,887,000 in 1996.
 
     Multifamily rental income for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$29,104,000 and included $10,558,000 related to the 13 multifamily properties
acquired during 1995 and 1996.
 
     Industrial rental income for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$20,783,000 and included $5,647,000 related to twelve industrial properties
acquired during 1996.
 
     Multifamily rental property expenses increased by $1,339,000, or 13%, from
$10,215,000 in 1995 to $11,554,000 in 1996. Industrial rental property expenses
increased by $2,741,000, or 107%, from $2,567,000 in 1995 to $5,308,000 in 1996.

     Multifamily rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996
totaled $11,554,000 and included $4,422,000 related to the 13 multifamily
properties acquired during 1996 and 1995.
 
     Industrial rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996
totaled $5,308,000 and included $1,630,000 related to the twelve industrial
properties acquired during 1996.
 
     Depreciation increased by $2,155,000, or 35%, from $6,081,000 in 1995 to
$8,236,000 in 1996. The increase relates primarily to the acquisition of the
thirteen multifamily properties in 1996 and 1995, the twelve industrial
properties acquired in 1996, and the capital improvements made to rehabilitate
existing properties.
 
     Interest expense (including amortization of financing costs) increased by
$4,355,000, or 31%, from $14,066,000 in 1995 to $18,421,000 in 1996. This
increase was attributable to increased borrowings outstanding during 1996, as
compared to 1995, pursuant to new borrowings of $55,517,000 relating to the
acquisition of multifamily properties and one industrial park during mid-1996
and the last half of 1996. Interest resulting from the amortization of financing
costs increased by $212,000 or 21% from $1,009,000 in 1995 to $1,221,000 in
1996. This increase is attributable primarily to amortization of loan fees
associated with borrowings used to finance acquisitions completed during late
1995 and 1996.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased by $551,000, or 23%, from
$2,423,000 in 1995 to $2,974,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to personnel increases related to the 1995 and 1996 acquisitions.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred a net loss of
$118,000 compared with net income of $8,403,000 in 1995. The results in each
year were impacted by non-recurring items. In 1996, a $3,596,000 non-recurring
loss on the exchange of Debentures was incurred (see Part I, Item 1) while in
1995 a $6,664,000 gain on sale of real estate occurred from the sale of the
Texas apartment portfolio.
 
     In December of 1996, the Company exchanged approximately $42,100,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its Debentures for 2,440,002 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. As a result of this exchange, interest expense of
approximately $3,523,000 which was incurred on the debentures in 1996 will not
be incurred in 1997 and the average outstanding shares in 1997 will be increased
by 2,440,002 shares.
 
  COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1994.
 
     Multifamily rental income increased by $5,961,000 or 31%, from $18,937,000
in 1994 to $24,898,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of twelve multifamily properties containing 1,736 apartment units in
1995 offset by the disposition of four multifamily properties containing 1,085
apartment units during the last quarter of 1995. Industrial rental income
increased by $4,986,000 or 69%, from $7,207,000 in 1994 to $12,193,000 in 1995.
This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of three industrial
parks during the last half of 1994 containing approximately 1,011,000 square
feet of space. As a result of these changes, total revenues increased by
$10,947,000, or 42% from $26,144,000 in 1994 to $37,091,000 in 1995.
 
     Multifamily rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled
$24,898,000 and included $3,990,000 related to 12 multifamily properties
acquired during 1995 and $5,987,000 related to four multifamily properties sold
during the last quarter of 1995.
 
     Industrial rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled
$12,193,000 and included $192,000 related to industrial properties acquired
during 1995.
 
     Multifamily rental property expenses increased by $1,380,000, or 16%, from
$8,835,000 in 1994 to $10,215,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of twelve multifamily properties containing
1,736 apartment units in 1995. Industrial rental property expenses increased by
$1,026,000, or 67%, from $1,541,000 in 1994 to $2,567,000 in 1995. This increase
was primarily attributable to the acquisition of three industrial parks during
the last half of 1994.

     Multifamily rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
totaled $10,215,000 and included $1,779,000 related to 12 multifamily properties
acquired during 1995 and $2,403,000 related to the four multifamily properties
sold during the last quarter of 1995.
 
     Industrial rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
totaled $2,567,000 and included $25,000 related to the industrial properties
acquired during 1995.
 
     Depreciation increased by $2,360,000, or 63%, from $3,721,000 in 1994 to
$6,081,000 in 1995 as a result of the acquisition of the twelve multifamily
properties in 1995, the three industrial properties acquired in late 1994, and
the capital improvements made to rehabilitate existing properties.
 
     Interest expense (including amortization of financing costs) increased by
$5,902,000, or 72%, from $8,164,000 in 1994 to $14,066,000 in 1995. This
increase was attributable to increased borrowings outstanding during 1995, as
compared to 1994, pursuant to new borrowings of $55,517,000 relating to the
acquisition of twelve multifamily properties and one industrial park during the
last half of 1995 and $24,850,000 of tax-exempt mortgage indebtedness assumed
with the Company's recent acquisitions. Interest resulting from the amortization
of financing costs increased by $386,000 or 62% from $623,000 in 1994 to
$1,009,000 in 1995. This increase is attributable primarily to the additional
amortization relating to the convertible subordinated debentures issued on
February 18, 1994 and accordingly being outstanding for the entire year in 1995
and amortization of loan fees associated with borrowings used to finance
acquisitions completed during late 1994 and 1995.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased by $698,000, or 40%, from
$1,725,000 in 1994 to $2,423,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to personnel increases related to the 1994 and 1995 acquisitions
made during the second half of each year, respectively.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company incurred net income of
$8,403,000 compared with a net loss of $832,000 in 1994. These improved results
are attributable to the foregoing, and are offset partially by a $6,664,000 net
gain from the sale of the Texas apartment portfolio (see Part I, Item 1) in 1995
and a $2,990,000 loss from the extinguishment of debt in 1994 relating to the
acquisition of certain of the properties from Realty.
 
  COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1993.
 
     Multifamily rental income increased by $3,787,000, or 25%, from $15,150,000
in 1993 to $18,937,000 in 1994. The increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of three multifamily properties containing 638 apartment units in
1994. Industrial rental income increased by $6,205,000, or 619%, from $1,002,000
in 1993 to $7,207,000 in 1994. This increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of six industrial parks containing approximately 2,241,000 square
feet of space. As a result of these changes, total revenues increased by
$9,992,000, or 62% from $16,152,000 in 1993 to $26,144,000 in 1994.
 
     Multifamily rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled
$18,937,000 and included $2,389,000 related to three multifamily properties
acquired during 1994.
 
     Industrial rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled
$7,207,000 and included $4,912,000 related to six industrial properties acquired
during 1994.
 
     Multifamily rental property expenses increased by $1,574,000, or 22%, from
$7,261,000 in 1993 to $8,835,000 in 1994. This increase was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of three multifamily properties in 1994.
Industrial rental expenses increased by $1,296,000, or 529%, from $245,000 in
1993 to $1,541,000 in 1994. This increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of six industrial parks.
 
     Multifamily rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994
totaled $8,835,000 and included $1,250,000 related to the multifamily properties
acquired during 1994.
 
     Industrial rental property expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994
totaled $1,541,000 and included $909,000 related to the industrial properties
acquired during 1994.
 
                                       18

     Depreciation increased by $1,087,000, or 41%, from $2,634,000 in 1993 to
$3,721,000 in 1994 as a result of the acquisition of three multifamily
properties and six industrial properties in 1994, and capital improvements made
to rehabilitate existing properties.
 
     Interest expense (including amortization of financing costs increased by
$2,136,000, or 35%, from $6,028,000 in 1993 to $8,164,000 in 1994. This increase
was attributable to increased borrowings outstanding during 1994, as compared to
1993, resulting from significant changes in the predecessor Multifamily and
Industrial Operations and the Company's debt structure. Such changes in 1994
included the issuance of $56.5 million principal amount of convertible
subordinated debentures (net of debenture discount), borrowings of $39,100,000
under the Company's new variable rate revolving credit facility, new mortgage
notes of $15,200,000 relating to the acquisition of one multifamily property and
two industrial parks during 1994, offset by the repayment of $73,300,000 of the
Predecessor's indebtedness using proceeds from the Offerings. In addition, the
increase in interest expense was attributable to a higher borrowing rate in the
Company's variable rate credit facility during 1994 as compared to 1993, which
resulted from overall increases in the prime rate and LIBOR rates. Interest
resulting from the amortization of financing costs increased by $538,000, or
632%, from $885,000 in 1993 to $623,000 related primarily to the amortization of
debenture discount and costs, in 1994 associated with the debentures issued upon
Company's initial public offering in February 1994.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased by $187,000, or 12%, from
$1,538,000 in 1993 to $1,725,000 in 1994. This was primarily attributable to the
growth related to the 1994 acquisitions.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company incurred a net loss of
$832,000, compared with a net loss of $12,036,000 in 1993. These improved
results are attributable to the foregoing, the nonrecurring loss of $10,974,000
recognized in 1993 by Realty as a result of the formation transactions which
reduced the carrying value of the Predecessor's properties, and are partially
offset by a $2,990,000 extraordinary loss from the extinguishment of debt in
1994.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company had $1,523,000 of cash to meet its
immediate short-term liquidity requirements. Future short-term liquidity
requirements are anticipated to be met through the net cash flow from
operations, existing working capital and, if necessary, funding from the
Company's revolving line of credit. The Company has a secured revolving line of
credit for a maximum amount of $65,000,000 which expires in July, 1998. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company had borrowed $13,686,000 under the revolving line
of credit.
 
     During 1996, the Company invested $89,613,000 in real estate assets.
Proceeds for these investments were generated primarily by: a public offering in
May of 1996 which generated net proceeds, including exercise of the
over-allotment option, of approximately $36,600,000; net proceeds from new
long-term secured real estate financing of approximately $55,600,000; and
proceeds from the sale of a land parcel and an industrial building for
$7,695,000.
 
     On December 26, 1996, the Company exchanged 2,440,002 shares of its Common
Stock for approximately $42,100,000 in aggregate principal amount of its
Convertible Subordinated Debentures. $14,400,000 in principal amount of the
Debentures remains outstanding at December 31, 1996.
 
     On December 31, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to issue
1,351,351 shares of Class A Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Class A Preferred Shares") to Five Arrows Realty Securities L.L.C. at a price
of $18.50 per share. The Company is obligated to issue the Class A Preferred
Shares over the course of 1997 in a maximum of three separate issuances, the
timing of which may be specified by the Company, provided that the Company will
be charged with certain availability fees if all of the Class A Preferred Shares
are not issued before July 1, 1997.
 
     In December 1996, the Company entered into a refunding agreement to
refinance all of its existing tax-exempt mortgage debt totaling $24.9 million.
As part of the refinancing, the Company established a pool agreement with the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") to provide 30-year credit
enhancement on the tax-exempt projects. The effective interest rate on the
currently outstanding bonds that are part of
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   21
 
such pool agreement (other than the bonds related to Rancho Santa Margarita
project), after giving effect to credit enhancement and other costs, has been
fixed at 6.3% for 10 years.
 
     The Company intends to acquire additional properties and may seek to fund
these acquisitions through proceeds received from a combination of its secured
line of credit, Class A Preferred Shares, equity offerings or debt financings.
 
     The Company anticipates that adequate cash will be available to fund its
operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations and
the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in the foreseeable
future.
 
     Cash provided by operating activities increased from $3,950,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994 to $7,138,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995
and $8,523,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The primary reason for
these increases related to the additional rental income contributed by
properties acquired during 1994, 1995 and 1996.
 
     Cash used in investing activities decreased from $99,504,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $84,480,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
then decreased to $81,918,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily as
a result of acquisitions which increased from $99,504,000 in 1994 to
$113,663,000 in 1995, and then decreased to $89,613,000 in 1996 net of
$29,183,000 of proceeds from the sale of the Texas apartment portfolio in 1995
and $7,695,000 from the sale of land and an industrial building to an existing
tenant in 1996.
 
     Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $98,649,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994 to $76,674,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995
and then decreased to $72,071,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily
as a result of reduced borrowing activity associated with acquisitions in 1996
compared to 1995 and 1994, and the issuance of common stock in 1996.
 
     In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company
is required to make distributions to its shareholders of at least 95% of REIT
taxable income. The Company expects to use its cash flow from operating
activities for distributions to shareholders and for payment of other
expenditures. The Company intends to invest amounts accumulated for distribution
in short-term investments.
 
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (2,300,000 shares including the exercise of the
over-allotment option) which raised net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$44,400,000. The proceeds of this offering were utilized to acquire four
separate industrial properties totaling approximately 1,094,000 leasable square
feet and to repay a portion of the Company's revolving line of credit.
 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
 
     The Company capitalizes the direct and indirect cost of expenditures for
the acquisition or rehabilitation of its multifamily and industrial properties.
The Company also capitalizes the direct cost of capital expenditures which are
considered revenue producing ("Revenue Producing") and other expenditures which
increase the service life of the Company's properties ("Restorations").
 
     Revenue Producing expenditures are improvements which significantly
increase the revenue-producing capability of the asset including tenant
improvements at industrial properties, installation of washers and dryers at
multifamily properties, and other value-added additions.
 
     Rehabilitation expenditures are costs the Company determines are necessary
during the due diligence phase immediately preceding the acquisition of a
property. At newly acquired properties, the Company often finds it necessary to
upgrade the physical appearance of such properties and to complete the
maintenance and repair work which had been deferred by prior owners.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   22
 
     Restorations are nonrevenue-producing capital expenditures which recur on a
regular basis, and have estimated useful lives of more than one year.
 
     Make ready costs incurred after a property's rehabilitation, such as carpet
and appliance replacement, interior painting and window coverings are expensed.
 
     The following table summarizes capital expenditures incurred by the Company
(excluding costs incurred related to the Texas multifamily portfolio sold in
1995) for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 (all amounts are in
thousands):

     The Company anticipates incurring similar capital expenditures in 1997. The
Company expects such expenditures will be funded from available cash balances,
revolving lines of credit, equity offerings, issuance of Class A Preferred
Shares, and proceeds from refinancing.
 
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 
     All of the Company's leases on its Multifamily Properties are for a period
of one year or less. Substantially all of the Company's leases on its Industrial
Properties, which have terms generally ranging from one to five years, contain
provisions providing for rental increases based either on fixed increases or on
increases in the Consumer Price Index. Management believes the nature of its
multifamily leases and the provisions contained in its industrial leases that
provide for increases in the tenants' base rent tend to mitigate the adverse
impact of inflation.
 
     Many regions of the United States, including regions in which the Company
owns properties, have in the past experienced an economic recession. Adverse
changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of
some existing tenants of the Company to meet their lease obligations and could
otherwise adversely affect the Company's ability to attract or retain tenants.

SHARE OPTION PLAN
 
     The Company adopted the 1993 Share Option Plan (the "Share Option Plan") to
provide incentives to attract and retain officers and employees (the
"Amendment"). On May 8, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved the
amendment of the Share Option Plan to increase the number of shares for which
options may be granted from 350,000 shares to 700,000 shares. The Share Option
Plan provides for grants of options to purchase a specified number of shares of
common stock, awards of restricted common stock, and grants of stock
appreciation rights. Under the Share Option Plan the total number of shares
available to be granted is 700,000 Common Shares, 45,000 of which have been
reserved for awards to non-employee directors. Participants in the Share Option
Plan who are officers or any other employees of the Company are selected by the
Compensation Committee. Directors of the Company are also eligible to
participate, but, in the case of directors who are not also employees, only
pursuant to automatic grants under a specified formula set forth in the Share
Option Plan. No employee may receive a grant of options for more than 100,000
shares of Common Stock in any calendar year.

RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN
 
     The Company has established a defined benefit retirement income plan (the
"Retirement Income Plan") that is noncontributory. Benefits are determined
regardless of position under a formula applied uniformly to all employees of the
Company (except as otherwise required under the Code's "top-heavy" rules
relating to "key" employees), and depend upon the employee's length of service,
and the employee's highest consecutive five year average earnings up to $150,000
less certain social security benefits.
 
     Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after attaining age 21
and completing one year of service. The plan currently provides for 100% vesting
of an employee's interest after five years of service, except to the extent
faster vesting is required under the Code's "top-heavy" rules.
 
     The following table illustrates the estimated annual retirement benefit
payable under the Retirement Income Plan at age 65, after reduction for certain
social security benefits, for participants with compensation and credited years
of service shown. The benefits shown assume retirement at age 65 as of December
31, 1996,
 
                                       27

subject to the maximum annual benefit of $120,000 shown below. This maximum
annual amount is actuarially increased to participants who retire after age 65.

THRIFT PLAN
 
     The Company has established a thrift plan under which employees may elect
to contribute up to 21% of their annual compensation on a combination
before-and-after tax basis, excluding bonuses. Contributions by the employee are
matched by the Company at a 75% rate with total matching contributions not
exceeding a maximum of 4 1/2% of the contributing employee's annual
compensation. Matching contributions are in the form of cash, which is used by
the trustee to purchase common shares of the Company. Employee contributions are
invested in a fixed income fund, various growth funds, or a combination thereof,
according to the employee's choice. The Plan provides for 20% vesting of
contributions by the Company for each full year of service, increasing to 100%
vesting after five years of service. (See "Compensation" above for the amounts
contributed by the Company during 1995 for the benefit of its officers.)
 
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
 
     Each of Messrs. Carpenter, Herrman, Nadal and Dewey has an employment
contract with the Company for a term of two years (four years in the case of Mr.
Carpenter) commencing in February 1995. The contracts provide for annual base
compensation, subject to any increases in base compensation recommended by the
Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Messrs.
Carpenter, Herrman, Nadal and Dewey, and the other officers of the Company will
also receive incentive compensation in accordance with criteria to be
established by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of
Directors, which the Company expects will be determined primarily on the basis
of Funds from Operations growth per common share and in some cases on the basis
of division or other performance goals. Each of the employment contracts
provides for certain severance payments in the event of death or disability or
upon termination by the Company without good cause and provides for certain
payments (twice the sum of current annual salary plus
 
                                       28

annual salary plus prior year bonus in all other cases) in the event that
employment is terminated following a change in control.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific
Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated and combined statements of operations, equity, and cash
flows of the Company and the multifamily and industrial operations acquired from
Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc. (the "Predecessor Multifamily and
Industrial Operations") for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and for
the periods February 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994
through February 17, 1994. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index on page F-1. These financial statements and
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's and Predecessor's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated and combined results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and the Predecessor Multifamily and
Industrial Operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and for
the periods February 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994
through February 17, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization
 
     Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. is incorporated in Maryland and operates as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. commenced operations on February 18,
1994 upon receipt of the proceeds from its initial public offerings and
consummation of certain formation transactions (Note 9).
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc., and all subsidiaries and partnerships over which
it has control (the "Company") in addition to the multifamily and industrial
operations acquired from Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc. ("Realty" or the
"predecessor") on a combined historical cost basis (the "Predecessor Multifamily
and Industrial Operations"). The combined financial statements of the
Predecessor Multifamily and Industrial Operations for the period prior to
February 18, 1994, are not intended to present the results of operations or cash
flows of either the Company or its predecessor. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  Real Estate Assets
 
     Real estate assets are held for investment and stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. The properties acquired at formation were recorded at
the Predecessor's historical cost basis. Cost includes the cost of land,
development and construction in progress, and completed buildings and related
improvements. Costs related to the development and construction of properties
are capitalized as incurred. Interest and property taxes are capitalized to
properties under active development. Expenditures which increase the service
life of properties are capitalized; the cost of maintenance and repairs is
charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is generally provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and
improvements, ranging primarily from 15 to 40 years. When depreciable property
is retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss reflected in operations.
 
     Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the assets' carrying amount is greater
than the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest,
estimated to be generated by those assets. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, no
indicators of impairment existed. In 1995, the Company adopted Statement 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of. There was no impact to the 1995 financial statements resulting
from the Company's adoption of Statement 121.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Certificates of deposit and short-term investments with remaining
maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered cash
equivalents.
 
  Financing Costs
 
     Financing costs are included in other assets and consist of loan fees,
other loan costs and deferred debenture costs. Loan fees and other loan costs
are amortized over the term of the respective loan. Costs relating to the
convertible subordinated debentures offering are amortized over the term of the
debentures using a method which approximates the effective interest method.
Amortization of financing costs is included in interest expense.

      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts
receivable. Cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term
instruments and the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer is
limited. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is
limited due to the number of multifamily and industrial tenants.
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term investments and loans
payable approximate their fair values as of December 31, 1996.
 
     The fair value as of December 31, 1996 of the Company's convertible
subordinated debentures, based on the closing price of the debentures on the
last trading day in 1996 on the American Stock Exchange, was $14,762,000.
 
  Dividend Reinvestment Plan
 
     During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company issued 1,900
and 422 shares, respectively, under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
 
  Rental Income
 
     Rental income from residential leases is recognized when due from tenants.
Apartment units are rented under lease agreements with terms of one year or
less.
 
     Rental income from industrial leases is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the related lease term. As a result, deferred rent is created when rental
income is recognized during free rent periods of a lease. The deferred rent is
included in other assets, evaluated for collectibility and amortized over the
lease term.
 
  Interest
 
     Interest expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 totaled $17,427,000, $13,057,000 and $7,541,000, respectively. Interest
expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 includes $4,720,000, $4,736,000 and $4,052,000
related to the Company's convertible subordinated debentures (Note 4).
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company capitalized $215,000
related to real estate projects undergoing development and construction
activities (Note 2).
 
     Interest paid for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled
$18,803,000, $11,785,000 and $4,764,000, respectively. In December 1996, the
Company exchanged $42,069,000 in principal amount of convertible subordinated
debentures in connection with the Company's tender offer (filed on December 11,
1996 with the Securities and Exchange Commission) to induce early conversion of
its convertible subordinated debentures (Note 4). As a result, $1,282,000 of
interest was paid to the bond holders upon conversion; had the conversion not
occurred, interest would have been paid to bond holders in 1997.
 
  Gain on Sale of Properties
 
     Gains on sales of properties are recognized by the Company when title to
the real estate passes to the buyer, an adequate down payment is received, the
collectibility of notes received from buyers is reasonably assured, and other
conditions necessary for gain recognition have been satisfied.

      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is
generally not subject to income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company
is required to distribute annually as dividends at least 95% of its REIT taxable
income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, to its shareholders, and also
to satisfy certain other requirements. The Company has estimated that
approximately 45% (unaudited) of the dividends paid to shareholders in 1996
represented a return of capital for income tax purposes.
 
  Per Share Data
 
     Per share amounts are calculated based upon weighted average common shares
outstanding and common share equivalents for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 and for the period February 18, 1994 (date of initial public offering)
through December 31, 1994. Common stock equivalents include stock options which
are considered dilutive for purposes of computing primary earnings per share.
 
     The conversion of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures into
shares of common stock (Note 4), for purposes of computing fully diluted
earnings (loss) per share would be anti-dilutive.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and revenues and expenses for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates in the near term.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation.

  Mortgage Notes
 
     Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1996 consist of conventional
mortgage debt and tax-exempt mortgage debt totaling $158,865,000 and
$24,850,000, respectively.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company's conventional mortgage debt consist of
23 notes which are secured by multifamily and industrial properties, due in
monthly installments and maturing at various dates through September 2025.
Approximately $152,640,000 or 20 conventional mortgage notes bear fixed rates of
interest ranging from 6.4% to 8.74% per annum. The remaining three conventional
mortgage notes totaling $6,192,000 bear a variable rate of interest based on the
Federal Home Loan Bank 11th District Rate plus 2.8%. The weighted average
interest rate of the Company's conventional mortgage debt at December 31, 1996
was 7.9%. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Federal Home Loan Bank
11th District Rate ranged from 4.8% to 5.0% and was 4.8% at December 31, 1996.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company's tax-exempt mortgage debt consists of
five notes totaling $24,850,000 which are secured by five multifamily properties
and bank letters of credit totaling $1,280,000. The existing tax-exempt mortgage
debt was refinanced in January 1997 as more fully described in the following
paragraph. Prior to the refinancing, the existing tax-exempt mortgage debt
provided for floating interest rates, which adjusted weekly or monthly based on
the applicable indices. These floating interest rates, which ranged from 2.15%
and 8% during the year ended December 31, 1996, were based on indices such as
the Kenny Rate and the Federal Home Loan Bank 11th District Rate. At December
31, 1996, these indices were 3.05% and 4.8%, respectively. The weighted average
interest rate of the Company's existing tax-exempt mortgage debt at December 31,
1996 was 6.3%.
 
     During December 1996, the Company entered into a refunding agreement for
all of its outstanding tax-exempt mortgage debt which closed in January 1997. As
a result of a new 30-year refunding agreement, which is backed by credit and
liquidity support from guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates issued by
the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), the Company obtained
three new loans from

municipalities, the proceeds of which were funded from new tax-exempt mortgage
bond financings of $24,850,000 maturing in January 2007. Standard & Poor's
Rating Group assigned a rating of AAA to the bonds based on the collateral
agreement with Fannie Mae. Monthly principal and interest payments will be made
on the loans to a trustee, which in turn will pay the bondholders when interest
is due. The bonds will be remarketed periodically and will bear interest at
fixed rates scheduled to increase from 3.75% to 5.20% through 2007. Principal
payments will be amortized based on scheduled amounts over a 30-year period. The
Company's new tax-exempt mortgage debt, after giving effect to credit
enhancement and other costs associated with the refunding agreement, has an
average fixed rate of interest of 6.3%.
 
     As part of the refunding agreement, the Company will be required to deposit
impounds for property taxes, property and liability insurance and reserves for
capital replacements on a semiannual basis with the trustee. Prepaid finance
costs, fees and other impound deposits related to the refinancing total
$1,554,000 at December 31, 1996 and are included in other assets.
 
  Construction Loan
 
     The Company's construction loan, which is payable to a bank, is secured by
a multifamily project for active seniors currently undergoing development (Note
2), bears interest at the bank's prime rate payable monthly and matures in
November 1998. Undisbursed funds on the construction loan at December 31, 1996
total $6,367,000. Upon completion of the project, the Company has the option to
convert the interest rate on the loan into a fixed rate of interest upon meeting
certain conditions. At December 31, 1996, the prime rate was 8.25%.
 
  Revolving Line of Credit
 
     The revolving line of credit as of December 31, 1996, which is payable to a
bank, is secured by certain of the Company's real estate properties and matures
in 1998. Under the terms of this revolving bank line of credit, the Company may
borrow funds up to $65,000,000 at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
1.75%. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the weighted average interest rate
of the revolving line of credit was 7.43%. At December 31, 1996, the LIBOR was
5 17/32%.
 
     The Company's revolving line of credit agreement, as amended in May 1996,
contains certain debt covenants. The most significant covenants, as defined in
the agreement, require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, an
interest coverage ratio in excess of 1.50 (measured as a four quarter trailing
average) and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.35. In addition,
the revolving line of credit agreement contains a provision restricting the
payment of dividends not to exceed Funds Available for Distribution (defined as
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' Funds from
Operations -- Old Definition less an agreed-upon amount of imputed capital
expenditures) measured based on four consecutive quarters. As of December 31,
1996, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
 
     Principal payments due on loans payable as of December 31, are as follows:

 4. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
 
     Concurrent with its initial public offerings in February 1994, the Company
issued $56,551,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated
debentures (Note 9). At December 31, 1996 and 1995, outstanding convertible
subordinated debentures totaled $14,227,000 and $55,659,000, net of unamortized
discount of $210,000 and $892,000, respectively. The Company's debentures bear
interest at 8.375% annually (payable in semiannual installments due in February
and August of each year), mature in February 2001 and are convertible into
common shares at any time prior to maturity at the original conversion rate of
53.6986 common shares per $1,000 of debenture principal subject to certain
restrictions (including ownership limits and other adjustments more fully
described in the debentures' indenture agreement). In addition, the debentures
are subordinate to all senior indebtedness of the Company and are redeemable by
the Company, at their outstanding principal amount, at any time after February
15, 1999.
 
     During 1996, $42,114,000 in aggregate principal amount of debentures were
converted into shares of common stock, including $42,069,000 exchanged on
December 26, 1996 in connection with the Company's tender offer (filed on
December 11, 1996 with the Securities and Exchange Commission) to induce early
conversion of its convertible subordinated debentures. Pursuant to the Company's
offer, the debentures tendered were exchanged at the rate of 58 shares of common
stock for each $1,000 debenture principal or 4.3014 shares (the "excess common
shares") in excess of the original conversion rate. As part of the exchange, the
Company issued a total of 2,440,002 common shares, and recognized a nonrecurring
loss of $3,596,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 directly associated with
the issuance of the 180,956 excess common shares at a price of $19.875 per
share, the market price of the shares on the date of the exchange.
 
     Debenture discount is amortized into expense producing an effective
interest rate of 8.76%. Costs incurred by the Company to issue the debentures
were capitalized and included in other assets. Deferred debenture costs upon
issuance totaled $3,005,000 of which $1,211,000 has been amortized to expense
and $1,336,000 has been charged to additional paid in capital related to the
debenture for common stock exchange referred to in the preceding paragraph. At
December 31, 1996, unamortized deferred debenture costs included in other assets
totaled $458,000.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the debentures
covenants which impose certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by the
Company in the event of certain defaults, except when the Company is required to
pay such dividends in order to maintain its REIT status.
 
 5. BENEFIT PLANS
 
  1993 Share Option Plan
 
     The Company has a share option plan to provide incentives to attract and
retain officers and employees (the "1993 Share Option Plan"). The 1993 Share
Option Plan provides for grants of stock options to purchase a specified number
of shares of Common Stock, awards of restricted common shares and grants of
stock appreciation rights. The total number of shares available for the 1993
Share Option Plan for such purposes is 615,404 common shares (45,000 of which
have been reserved for awards to non-employee directors).
 
  Stock Options
 
     Options for 13,500 shares of common stock in 1996 and 40,500 shares in 1995
were granted to officers, directors and employees with exercise prices of $16.75
and $15.00 per share, respectively. Options for a total of 190,050 shares of
common stock were granted to officers and employees effective upon the
consummation of the initial public offerings. The options are exercisable at the
initial stock offering price of $18.25 per share and are subject to varying
vesting periods of up to ten years. No stock options were exercised during 1996,
1995 or 1994.

                            PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES
 
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     Pursuant to Statement 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based
Compensation, issued in October 1995, the Company has elected to continue
applying the methodology prescribed by APB Opinion 25 and related
interpretations to account for outstanding stock options. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements related to
stock options awarded to officers, directors and employees under the 1993 Share
Option Plan. As required by Statement 123, for disclosure purposes only, the
Company has measured the amount of compensation cost which would have been
recognized related to stock options had the fair value of the options at the
date of grant been used for accounting purposes. Based on such calculations, net
income and earnings per share amounts would be approximately the same as the
amounts reported by the Company. The Company estimated the fair value of the
stock options at date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.28%; a
dividend yield of 8.5%; a volatility factor for the market price of the
Company's common stock of 0.161; and a weighted average expected life of eight
years for the stock options.
 
  Restricted Stock Awards
 
     The Company awards restricted stock to its employees for compensation
purposes. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is measured
based on the market price of the stock on the date of the grant, and is expensed
ratably over the vesting period of each award with the unamortized portion
reflected as outstanding restricted stock in the shareholders' equity section in
the accompanying balance sheets.
 
     During 1996 and 1995, the Company issued 21,000 and 7,296 shares,
respectively, of restricted stock to employees, as performance-based
compensation. At the time the shares were granted, the market price of the stock
was $16.75 (1996) and $13.75 (1995) per share. The 1996 restricted stock award
vests over seven years and the 1995 restricted stock award vests over three
years.
 
     In June 1995, the Company issued 56,300 shares of restricted stock to
certain employees to replace substantially all of its liability to those
employees accrued under the existing deferred compensation agreements. The
56,300 shares of Common Stock issued vest over five to twelve years and the
Company's original obligation to the employees will be satisfied through
dividends and targeted appreciation in the value of the shares. At the time the
shares were granted, the market price of the stock was $15.75 per share.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the unamortized amount of outstanding restricted
stock issued to employees which will be charged to compensation expense in
future periods totaled $877,000.
 
  Thrift Plan
 
     The Company has a thrift plan under which employees may elect to contribute
up to 21% of their annual compensation on a combination before-and-after tax
basis, excluding bonuses. Contributions by the employee are matched by the
Company at a 75% rate with total matching contributions not exceeding 4 1/2% of
the contributing employee's annual compensation up to a maximum of 6% of
compensation. Matching contributions are in the form of cash, which is used by
the trustee to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Employee
contributions are invested in a fixed income fund, various growth funds, or a
combination thereof, according to the employee's choice. The thrift plan
provides for 20% vesting of contributions by the Company for each full year of
service, increasing to 100% vesting after five years of service. Contributions
made by the Company to the thrift plan for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 totaled $58,000 and $50,000, respectively.
 
  Retirement Income Plan
 
     The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan for full time employees
who are at least 21 years of age with one or more years of service. Plan assets
consist of investments in a life insurance group annuity contract. Plan benefits
are based primarily on years of service and qualifying compensation during the
final

years of employment. Funding requirements comply with federal requirements that
are imposed by law. The Company assumed, in conjunction with the establishment
of its Retirement Income Plan, the retirement plan obligations attributable to
employees associated with the Predecessor Multifamily and Industrial Operations
who were previously employed by Realty. The information set forth below relates
to the Company's retirement income plan.
 
     The Company's net periodic pension cost includes amortization of past
service cost over a remaining period of 27 years. Based upon actuarial valuation
dates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the present values of accumulated plan
benefits were $570,000 and $459,000 (calculated using a discount rate of 7.5
percent), respectively, and the plan's net assets available for benefits were
$531,000 in 1996 and $490,000 in 1995.
 
     The Company's net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 and for the period February 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994
included the following components:

  Deferred Compensation Agreements
 
     Prior to 1995, the Company had defined benefit deferred compensation
agreements which provided selected management employees with a fixed benefit at
retirement. The plan benefits were based primarily on years of service and
qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. In conjunction
with its initial public offerings, the Company assumed the deferred compensation
obligations attributable to employees who were previously employed by Realty.
During 1995, the deferred compensation agreements were substantially replaced
with restricted stock. (See "Restricted Stock Awards.")
 
 6. CONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP
 
     In August 1995, the Company formed PGP Inland Communities, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership") for the purpose of acquiring and
operating 11 multifamily properties consisting of 1,368 apartment units located
in Southern California (the "Properties") which were contributed by unrelated
parties. In exchange for contributing the Properties to the Partnership, the
unrelated parties received limited partnership units representing an ownership
interest of approximately 22%. The Company is the sole general partner in the

Properties are to be allocated (distributed) to the Company until the Properties
have achieved a threshold net operating income of $6,200,000 for any given year,
and cumulatively for all prior years. The Partnership's results of operations in
1996 and 1995 have been fully allocated to the Company.

 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company's commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations
of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In the
opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
     One of the Company's industrial properties acquired in October 1996 is
subject to a 57-year ground lease which expires in July 2035 and is accounted
for as an operating lease. Monthly ground lease payments total $20,000 and are
subject to increases based on the Consumer Price Index each September, with the
next adjustment in September 1997. Ground lease payments during 1996 totaled
$53,000.
 
 8. GAIN ON SALE OF PROPERTIES
 
     In August 1996, the Company sold an undeveloped ten-acre parcel and a
55,656 square foot industrial building to an existing tenant pursuant to
purchase options contained in the existing lease agreements. In connection with
the sale, the Company received consideration totaling $7,695,000 and recognized
a gain of $74,000. The rental income received under the existing lease
agreements in 1996 totaled approximately $691,000.
 
     In November 1995, the Company sold its Texas apartment portfolio to four
entities controlled by the same buyer. The Texas multifamily portfolio consisted
of four properties containing 1,085 apartment units in San Antonio, Austin and
Houston, and represented the Company's entire holdings in the state of Texas.
The Company received consideration totaling $31,125,000: $30,125,000 in cash and
four notes receivable totaling $1,000,000. The notes receivable mature in seven
years, bear interest at 9%, require monthly interest-only payments and are
secured by limited partnership interests in the purchasing entities. Proceeds
from the sale were used to repay the mortgage notes payable secured by the Texas
apartment portfolio which totaled $14,438,000 and $2,000,000 of the Company's
revolving line of credit. The Company recognized a gain utilizing the cost
recovery method on the sale of the Texas apartment portfolio totaling $6,664,000
(net of $1,000,000 deferred gain). The deferred gain is presented as a reduction
of the notes included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets.
 
 9. CAPITAL STOCK
 
  Initial Public Offerings and Formation Transactions
 
On February 18, 1994, the Company completed its initial public offerings of
3,900,000 shares of Common Stock (4,008,500 shares after exercise of
overallotment option) at $18.25 per share and $50,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 8.375% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ($56,551,000 after exercise
of overallotment option). Prior to that date, the Company was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Realty. Proceeds raised by

                            PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES
 
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
the Company totaled $64,214,000 (net of fees and costs) from the stock offering
and $55,420,000 (net of discount) from the debenture offering. (Note 4)
 
     On February 18, 1994, the Company acquired the Predecessor Multifamily and
Industrial Operations from Realty pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement
between Realty and the Company dated November 15, 1993. The Predecessor
Multifamily and Industrial Operations consisted of 10 multifamily properties
containing 2,654 apartments and three industrial properties containing an
aggregate of 185,000 leasable square feet and certain other assets and
liabilities of Realty, including the Company's headquarters. In connection with
the acquisitions from Realty, the Company paid $44,425,000 in cash (representing
the repayment of indebtedness outstanding on Realty's lines of credit related to
the Predecessor Multifamily and Industrial Operations), assumed $44,290,000 in
debt and other obligations (of which $29,025,000 was repaid with proceeds from
the initial public offerings) and issued 149,900 shares of common stock. In
October 1994, the Company acquired Realty's interest in the partnership that
owned Baldwin Industrial Park, which contains 623,000 leasable square feet of
industrial space, for 559,748 shares of common stock and issued 74,671 shares of
common stock to Realty as payment for the Company's corporate offices and
certain other assets. (The Company also acquired the interest of the other
partners in Baldwin Industrial Park for $9,760,000 of which $6,362,000 was paid
in 1994.) As a result of these transactions, Realty's ownership interest in the
Company was reduced to 16%. In connection with the extinguishment of $29,500,000
of mortgage indebtedness referred to above, the Company incurred nonrecurring
debt repayment costs totaling $2,990,000 which have been reflected as an
extraordinary item in the consolidated and combined statement of operations for
the period February 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.
 
     The Company also entered into a one-year management agreement with Realty,
as part of the formation transactions, under which the Company managed certain
properties owned by Realty that were not transferred to the Company. During
1994, the Company received $61,000 from Realty as payment for services performed
thereunder, which is shown in the consolidated financial statements as a
reduction of general and administrative expense. The Company terminated the
agreement in November 1994.
 
  1996 Shelf Registration
 
     During 1996, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for an aggregate amount of $112 million
covering the proposed issuance of debt, preferred or common stock securities of
the Company (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). On May 23, 1996, the shelf
registration statement, as amended, was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
 
  1996 Common Stock Offerings
 
     In May 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 2,015,581 shares of
common stock (2,435,581 shares after exercise of overallotment option) under the
Shelf Registration at a price of $16.375 per share. Proceeds from the offering
totaled approximately $36,600,000 (net of fees and costs) and were primarily
used to purchase nine industrial properties (Note 2). Concurrent with the public
offering, all of the Company's common stock held by Realty was sold to the
public.
 
     Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company completed another public
offering of 2,000,000 shares of common stock (2,300,000 shares after exercise of
overallotment option) under the Shelf Registration Statement at a price of
$20.50 per share. Proceeds from the offering totaled approximately $44.4 million
(net of fees and costs) and were used to acquire two industrial properties
subject to definitive purchase agreements at December 31, 1996 (Note 2) and to
reduce outstanding indebtedness on the Company's revolving line of credit.

  Exchange of Debentures for Common Stock
 
     In December 1996, the Company issued 2,440,002 shares of common stock in
exchange for the debentures tendered pursuant to the Company's offer to induce
early conversion of its convertible subordinated debentures (Note 4).
 
  Preferred Stock
 
     The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. In December 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to issue
1,351,351 shares of Class A Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Class A Preferred Shares") to an investor at a price of $18.50 per share. The
Class A Preferred Shares will be issued under the Shelf Registration Statement.
At December 31, 1996, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.
 
     The Company is obligated to issue the Class A Preferred Shares on or before
December 31, 1997 in a maximum of three separate issuances, the timing of which
may be specified by the Company, however, certain availability fees will be
charged to the Company if all of the Class A Preferred Shares are not issued
prior to July 1997.
 
     The Class A Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock, on a
one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment upon certain events. The annual
dividend per share on the Class A Preferred Shares is $1.70 from the date of
issuance until December 31, 1997 and thereafter, the greater of $1.70 per share
or 104% of the then current dividend on the Company's common stock. At its
option, the Company may redeem the Class A Preferred Shares beginning December
31, 2001 for cash at a premium of 6% over the initial $18.50 per share
liquidation value decreasing to zero by December 31, 2009. The Class A Preferred
Shares, or any shares of common stock into which such Class A Preferred Shares
could be converted, are nontransferable until December 31, 1997.

                                   ARTICLE II.

                                    THE LOANS

          2.1  Commitment to Make the Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Bank shall severally make
Advances to the Borrower prior to the Revolving Maturity Date in proportion to
their respective Pro Rata Shares and the Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 2.4, all in such amounts as the Borrower may
request that do not exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the Loan
Availability; provided, that no more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in
Letter of Credit Obligations may be outstanding at any time. Each Advance shall
be in a principal amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (except
that any such Advance may be in an amount equal to the unused aggregate Loan
Availability), and shall be made in increments in excess thereof of no less than
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); provided, however, that the foregoing
clause shall not apply to Advances made pursuant to Section 2.4(d) hereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at no time
may the aggregate outstanding Advances under this Agreement plus the aggregate
outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations at such time exceed the
Loan Availability at such time. Within the limits and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow or reborrow any additional amounts
following the Term-out Commencement Date. Except as provided in Section 2.21, in
the event that at any time and for any reason, the outstanding principal balance
of Advances together with the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations
exceeds the Loan Availability, Borrower shall immediately and without demand pay
to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks ratably the amount of such difference;
provided, that if the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances
together with the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the
Loan Availability by reason of reappraisal and determination of new Collateral
Values pursuant to Section 2.21, such obligation to pay shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.21.

          2.2  Procedure for Borrowing

               (a)  Request for Advance. Prior to the Term-out Commencement
Date, the Borrower may request an Advance under the Loan Availability from time
to time on any Banking Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date by giving
irrevocable notice to the Agent in the form of the Request for Advance, Letter
of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan specifying:

                    (i)  whether the requested Advance is to be a Reference Rate
Loan or a LIBO Rate Loan;

                    (ii) the principal amount of the requested Advance;

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

                    (iii) the date the requested Advance is to be made, which
shall be a Banking Day; and

                    (iv) if the requested Advance is to be a LIBO Rate Loan, the
initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such LIBO Rate Loan,
provided that no Interest Period shall be selected if it would extend past the
Revolving Maturity Date.

               (b)  Timing of Request. The Borrower shall give such notice to
the Agent no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the first Banking Day
before the date of the requested Advance in the case of a Reference Rate Loan,
and no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the third Banking Day before
the date of the requested Advance in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan. Each such
notice shall be made by a Designated Representative and given by telephone or
facsimile transmission to the Agent and, if given by telephone, shall thereafter
be immediately confirmed by the Borrower by delivery to the Agent of a Request
for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan.

               (c)  Notice to Banks. Upon receipt of a Request for Advance,
Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation conforming to the requirements of
this Section 2.2, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof and of the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Advance described therein.

               (d)  Making of Advances by Banks. Each Bank will make the amount
of its Pro Rata Share of any Advance available to the Agent for the account of
the Borrower at the Agent's Payment Office by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on
the borrowing date requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement
in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of all such Advances
will then be made available to the Borrower by the Agent by wire transfer in
accordance with written instructions provided to the Agent by the Borrower. The
failure of any Bank to make any Advance on any borrowing date shall not relieve
any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such borrowing
date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make
its Advance on the borrowing date.

          2.3  Conversion and Continuation of Loans

               (a)  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any
Reference Rate Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan, or any LIBO Rate Loan into a
Reference Rate Loan; provided, however, that (i) no Reference Rate Loan may be
converted into a LIBO Rate Loan if at such time a Default or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (ii) any conversion of a LIBO Rate Loan into
a Reference Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the
Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan. The Borrower shall request the Agent to
effect such conversion by giving irrevocable notice to the Agent in the form of
the Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan
specifying:

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

                    (i)  the Loan to be so converted;

                    (ii) the date of the requested conversion, which shall be a
Banking Day; and

                    (iii) if such Loan is to be converted into a LIBO Rate Loan,
the initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such LIBO Rate Loan,
provided that no Interest Period shall be selected if it would extend past the
Revolving Maturity Date or, if Borrower has elected the Term-out Option, the
Term-out Maturity Date.

               (b)  The Borrower shall give such notice of conversion to the
Agent no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the first Banking Day
before the date of the requested conversion of a Loan into a Reference Rate
Loan, and no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the third Banking Day
before the date of the requested conversion of a Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan.
Each such notice shall be made by a Designated Representative and given by
telephone or facsimile transmission to the Agent and, if given by telephone,
shall thereafter be immediately confirmed by the Borrower by delivery to the
Agent of a Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a
Loan.

               (c)  Any LIBO Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the
expiration of its pending Interest Period by the Borrower's giving the Agent
irrevocable notice of continuation thereof no later than 9:00 a.m., San
Francisco time, on the third Banking Day before the date of the requested
continuation, which notice shall be given by delivery to the Agent of a Request
for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan; provided,
however, that no LIBO Rate Loan may be continued as such if a Default or an
Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, but instead, such LIBO
Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Reference Rate Loan on the last
day of the Interest Period for which that Adjusted LIBO Rate was determined.

               (d)  In the event that a timely notice of conversion or
continuation with regard to a LIBO Rate Loan is not given in accordance with
this Section 2.3, then, unless the Agent shall have received timely notice in
accordance with Section 2.12 that the Borrower elects to prepay such LIBO Rate
Loan on the last day of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed
irrevocably to have requested that such LIBO Rate Loan be converted into a
Reference Rate Loan on the last day of such Interest Period.

               (e)  The Borrower may not request, continue or convert to, a LIBO
Rate Loan during the Term-out Option Period in an amount and for an Interest
Period that would result in all or a portion of such LIBO Rate Loan being paid
in whole or in part prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period by reason
of the required principal amortization payments during the Term-out Option
Period (as required under Section 2.5(c) hereof).

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

               (f)  Unless the Agent otherwise consents, the Borrower shall not
have more than six (6) LIBO Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; provided,
however, that the Borrower may have up to twelve (12) LIBO Rate Loans
outstanding if the Borrower pays to the Agent an additional fee of Two Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($250) for each LIBO Rate Loan requested in excess of six (6) LIBO
Rate Loans. If upon the Effective Date the Borrower has more than six (6) LIBO
Rate Loans outstanding, then the Borrower shall not be entitled to continue any
outstanding LIBO Rate Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan upon the expiration of its
pending Interest Period, or request the conversion of any Reference Rate Loan
into a LIBO Rate Loan, or elect to designate a new Advance as a LIBO Rate Loan,
unless (i) such continuation, conversion or designation shall not result in the
Borrower having more than six (6) LIBO Rate Loans outstanding or (ii) the
Borrower pays the additional fee set forth in the preceding sentence.

               (g)  Upon receipt of a Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or
Conversion/Continuation conforming to the requirements of this Section 2.3, or
an automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. All interest rate conversions and
continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Loans converted or continued.

     2.4  Letters of Credit

          (a)  Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall, at the request of the Borrower to the Issuing
Bank with a copy to the Agent, if different (which request shall be in the form
of the Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a
Loan), issue one or more Letter(s) of Credit under the Loan Availability;
provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations
shall not at any time exceed $5,000,000. The issuance of any such Letters of
Credit shall be subject to the following conditions (in addition to the
conditions set forth in Article III of this Agreement):

               (i)  Each such Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion (except that the
conditions requested by the Borrower upon which drafts or other demands will be
honored must be acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion and
must comply with all Applicable Laws), and shall be subject to the terms of a
Letter of Credit Application and Agreement which the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Issuing Bank with a copy to the Agent, if different. No Letter of
Credit shall contain an automatic renewal clause.

               (ii) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued solely for purposes
directly relating to the ordinary course of the Borrower's business as now
conducted, including, without limitation, the purposes of acquiring,
refinancing, maintaining and disposing of real estate projects; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clause, no such Letter of Credit
shall be used to facilitate the payment or financing of any dividends declared
by the Borrower, nor shall any such 

                                       21
<PAGE>   22

Letter of Credit be used for purposes of credit enhancement of the Borrower's
other Indebtedness for borrowed money.

               (iii) Letters of Credit may be issued from time to time through
the date which is three (3) calendar days before the Revolving Maturity Date. No
Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date extending past the Revolving
Maturity Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Term-out Option has
been exercised by the Borrower as specified in Section 2.5(c) below, the
Required Banks, in their sole discretion may permit a Letter of Credit to have
an expiration date extending until the end of the Term-out Option Period, which
permission shall be communicated to the Borrower by the Agent and which
communication the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without the need for
independent verification from any other Bank. In the event that Required Banks
have consented to allow a Letter of Credit to have an expiration date extending
beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, then on the Revolving Maturity Date, with
respect to such Letter of Credit that remains outstanding, the Borrower shall
deposit cash in an amount equal to the face amount of such outstanding Letter of
Credit into an interest bearing deposit account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT")
established with and pledged to the Agent pursuant to documentation in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent. Such Cash Collateral Account shall secure
the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank arising in the
event of a draw under such Letter of Credit, and the Borrower hereby grants a
perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Agent in such Cash
Collateral Account, together with all rights of a secured party with respect
thereto (even if no further documentation is requested by the Agent or executed
by the Borrower with respect thereto). The Borrower shall execute such
additional documents as the Agent in its discretion may require and shall
provide all other documents requested by the Agent to evidence or perfect the
Agent's first priority security interest in such Cash Collateral Account. In the
event of a draw under such outstanding Letter of Credit, the Agent shall have
the right to immediately withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account an amount of
cash equal to the amount of the draw made under such Letter of Credit to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the draw. If the Issuing Bank is
reimbursed by the Borrower from a source other than the Cash Collateral Account,
or if the amount of the drawing is less then the amount contained in the Cash
Collateral Account for that Letter of Credit, the Agent shall immediately pay to
the Borrower an amount equal to the difference between the amount held in the
Cash Collateral Account for that Letter of Credit and the amount required to
reimburse the Issuing Bank. Upon the expiration, surrender or termination of
such outstanding Letter of Credit (and any other Letters of Credit secured by
such Cash Collateral Account), the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
all cash then contained in the Cash Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral
Account shall be closed. Except as specified above, Borrower shall not be
allowed to withdraw any sums from the Cash Collateral Account.

               (iv) In the event of any request for drawing under any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and
the Borrower that the Issuing Bank shall honor the drawing, and, with or without
such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the day on which
the drawing is 

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

honored in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of the drawing;
however, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Request for Advance to
the Agent requesting the Banks to make a Reference Rate Loan (or, if the
Borrower shall have made a timely request therefor, a LIBO Rate Loan) on the
date on which the drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of the
drawing; and (ii) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions
precedent to Loans hereunder specified in this Agreement, then the Banks shall,
on the date of the drawing, make a Reference Rate Loan (or, if the Borrower
shall have made a timely request therefor, a LIBO Rate Loan) in the amount of
the drawing, the proceeds of which shall be paid to the Issuing Bank and applied
directly by the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the
drawing.

          (b)  Obligation to Reimburse. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for any and all amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit and
all interest thereon shall be secured by the Collateral. The Borrower's
obligations to repay any and all drawings under any Letter of Credit hereunder
shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment
which the Borrower may have or have had against Issuing Bank, Agent or any other
Bank (except such as may arise out of Issuing Bank's, Agent's or any other
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder) or any other Person,
including, without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim or defense based upon or
arising out of:

               (i)  The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
which the Borrower may have at any time against, any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit;

               (ii) Any demand, statement or any other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect whatsoever or any variations in punctuation, capitalization, spelling or
format of the drafts or any statements presented in connection with any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; and

               (iii) The failure, for any reason, of any Bank to fund advances
to the Borrower hereunder for purposes of reimbursement of any drawing under a
Letter of Credit.

          (c)  Participations in Letter of Credit Obligations Purchased by
Banks.

               (i)  On the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or, in
the case of any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder as of the Effective Date,
on the Effective Date), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and
unconditionally to have sold and transferred to each Bank (other than the
Issuing Bank) and each Bank shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from the 

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

Issuing Bank, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such
Bank's Pro Rata Share in effect from time to time, in such Letter of Credit and
all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto. The Pro Rata Share of
each Bank hereunder shall include that Bank's share of the Letter of Credit
Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the sale to and
purchase by each Bank of its Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Obligation as
provided in this Section 2.4(c)(i), the Borrower shall continue to deal with the
Issuing Bank and the Agent as provided herein with respect to all Letters of
Credit.

               (ii) In the event that any reimbursement obligation under this
Agreement is not paid when due to the Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent to that effect, and the
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank (other than the Issuing Bank) of the
amount of such reimbursement obligation and each Bank other than the Issuing
Bank shall immediately pay to the Agent for distribution to the Issuing Bank, in
lawful money of the United States and in same day funds, an amount equal to such
Bank's Pro Rata Share then in effect of the amount of such unpaid reimbursement
obligation.

               (iii) The obligation of each Bank other than the Issuing Bank to
make payments under Section 2.4(c)(ii) above shall be unconditional and
irrevocable and shall be made under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, following the occurrence of any Default or any Event of Default or
any of the circumstances referred to in Section 2.4(b).

               (iv) Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall
promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share
as expressly provided herein) of all amounts received on account of the
obligations of the Borrower to repay amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit
(in like funds as received). Following the occurrence of an Event of Default,
all amounts received by the Agent on account of such obligations shall be
disbursed by the Agent as follows:

                    (A)  First, to the payment of expenses incurred by the Agent
in the performance of its duties and enforcement of its rights under the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection,
attorneys' fees, court costs and foreclosure expenses;

                    (B)  Then, to the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares until all outstanding reimbursement obligations for
drawings on such Letter of Credit and interest accrued thereon have been paid in
full; and

                    (C)  Then, and if but only if there remains any available
amount which has not been drawn under such Letter of Credit, to the Agent to
hold as cash collateral for the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any
future drawings on such Letter of Credit, the Borrower hereby granting to the
Agent, for the pro rata, pari passu benefit of the Banks, a first perfected
security interest therein and hereby 

                                       24
<PAGE>   25

irrevocably agreeing that amounts so held may be applied from time to time in
reimbursement of drawings on such Letter of Credit as the same may occur, until
the expiration of such Letter of Credit and payment in full of all amounts due
with respect to any drawing thereon.

                         (v)  If any payment received from the Borrower on
account of any reimbursement obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit and
distributed to a Bank hereunder is thereafter recovered from the Issuing Bank,
each Bank which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Agent,
repay to the Issuing Bank such Bank's ratable share of the amount so recovered
together with an amount equal to such Bank's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered) of any interest of other amount paid or payable by the
Issuing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.

     2.5  Maturity.

          (a)  Scheduled Maturity. Subject to the rights of the Borrower under
clause (c) of this Section 2.5 to elect the Term-out Option and also subject to
the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.12 and the provisions of
Article VI regarding the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans (together with all accrued but unpaid interest,
fees, costs, charges and expenses of the Banks) shall be due and payable to the
Agent for the benefit of the Banks ratably on the Revolving Maturity Date.

          (b)  Extended Maturity. The Borrower may request that the Banks extend
the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder for one (1) year from July 1, 1998 to July
1, 1999, by giving the Agent written notice of such request no sooner than sixty
(60) days prior to June 6, 1997 and no later than June 6, 1997. Within thirty
(30) days following receipt of such written notice, the Agent shall notify
Borrower in writing (which writing the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without
the need for independent verification from any other Bank) whether or not the
Required Banks elect (which election may be made in the Required Banks' sole
discretion) to extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder for one (1) year
from July 1, 1998 to July 1, 1999. The Agent's failure to notify the Borrower in
writing within such thirty-day (30-day) period shall be deemed to be an election
not to so extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder. If the Required Banks
elect to extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder, then the parties shall
enter into such extension agreements with respect to the Loan Documents as are
satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Banks in their sole
discretion; provided, however, that the payment terms of the Note shall remain
unchanged (e.g., the interest rate shall remain the same and, except as
otherwise specified herein, there shall be no required principal amortization
prior to July 1, 1999). If this Agreement is extended as provided herein, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank ratably a loan
extension fee (the "EXTENSION FEE") equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of
Commitment Amount, which fee shall become due and payable within 

                                       25
<PAGE>   26

ten (10) days after receipt by the Borrower from the Agent of the Required
Banks' notice of extension.

          (c)  Term-Out Option. Provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such election and (b) in the
Required Banks' reasonable opinion there have been no material adverse changes
in the business, operations, conditions or prospects, whether financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower, then the Borrower may in its sole discretion, by
written notice to the Agent no sooner than one hundred and twenty (120) days
prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and no later than sixty (60) days prior to
the Revolving Maturity Date, elect to exercise the "TERM-OUT OPTION". Upon
Borrower's written notification to Agent that it has exercised the Term-out
Option the following terms shall apply:

               (i)  The Banks' obligations to make Advances and the Issuing
Bank's obligation to issue Letters of Credit shall terminate as of the Term-out
Commencement Date, and Borrower shall have no right to request any further
Advances or additional Letters of Credit not then outstanding (provided that
Letters of Credit which are already outstanding prior to the Term-out
Commencement Date and which the Required Banks (in their sole discretion) have
permitted to have a term extending beyond the Revolving Maturity Date may remain
outstanding during the Term-out Option Period for the specified term thereof,
not to exceed the Term-out Maturity Date);

               (ii) From the Term-out Commencement Date through the date which
is twenty-four (24) months following the Term-out Commencement Date (the
"TERM-OUT OPTION PERIOD"), in addition to interest and all other sums required
to be paid under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall make quarterly principal
amortization payments in an amount equal to one-eightieth (1/80th) of the
aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as of the Term-out Commencement Date;
such payments shall be payable quarterly on the last Banking Day of each
calendar quarter (beginning on the last Banking Day of the calendar quarter
during which the Term-out Commencement Date occurs);

               (iii) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of Borrower's
exercise of the Term-out Option as provided herein, the Majority Banks in their
sole discretion may request the Agent to commission new appraisals for any
Collateral property for which the "as is" date of value for the most recent
appraisal commissioned by the Agent predates the Term-out Commencement Date by
more than one (1) year. The Majority Banks in their sole discretion may
reestablish Collateral Values for each such reappraised Collateral property for
the purpose of recalculating the Borrowing Base. The Borrower shall pay all
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with all such reappraisals and
the limitation on appraisal fees, costs and expenses set forth in Section 2.21
shall not apply to any reappraisals prepared pursuant to this Section
2.5(c)(iii);

                                       26
<PAGE>   27

               (iv) The applicable interest rates shall increase by one-quarter
of one percent (0.25%) during the Term-out Option Period, as more fully
specified below in Section 2.6;

               (v)  All remaining unpaid Advances and other Obligations shall be
due and payable in full on the expiration of the Term-out Option Period, which
shall expire two (2) years from the Revolving Maturity Date (the "Term-out
Maturity Date");

               (vi) Except as specified above, all other terms and provisions of
the Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect during
the Term-out Option Period; and

               (vii) The Borrower shall have paid to the Agent for the account
of the Banks ratably on or before the Term-out Commencement Date a term-out fee
equal to three hundred and seventy-five one-thousandths of one percent (0.375%)
of the aggregate amount of all Advances outstanding on the Term-out Commencement
Date.

     2.6  Interest; Interest Payment Dates

          (a)  During the initial term of this Agreement, but not during the
Term-out Option Period, each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate
plus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), such rate to change from time to time
concurrently with any change in the Reference Rate. During the Term-out Option
Period, the applicable interest rate on each Reference Rate Loan shall increase
by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) to a rate equal to the Reference Rate plus
one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum.

          (b)  During the initial term of this Agreement, but not during the
Term-out Option Period, each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus one and three-quarters
percent (1.75%). During the Term out Option Period, the applicable interest rate
on each LIBO Rate Loan shall increase by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) to a
rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus two
percent (2.0%) per annum.

          (c)  Interest on each Loan accrued through the end of each calendar
month shall be payable in arrears on the next Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that Overdue Interest and any other amount payable in connection with
any Loan not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) shall be payable from time to time upon demand of the Banks.

          (d)  All computations of interest shall be based on a year of three
hundred and sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed.

                                       27
<PAGE>   28

     2.7  Overdue Amounts. All Overdue Amounts shall bear interest at a rate of
three percent (3.0%) in excess of the Reference Rate, effective on the day
following the date of nonpayment and continuing until such amounts are paid in
full.

     2.8  Note. The Borrower's obligation to repay the principal amount of all
Loans and all accrued interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Note, all of
the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The
Agent shall enter the date, amount and interest rate with respect to each Loan
(and, in the case of each LIBO Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable
thereto), and any payments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records or
on the back of the Note, and such entries shall be prima facie evidence of the
matters noted, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to make any
notation in its books and records or on the back of its Note shall not discharge
the Borrower of its obligation to repay in full with interest all amounts
borrowed hereunder.

     2.9  Purpose of the Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used only for
purposes directly related to the conduct of the Borrower's business as a real
estate investment trust, including, without limitation, general corporate
purposes, working capital purposes and the purposes of acquiring, refinancing,
maintaining and disposing of real estate projects; provided, however, that no
more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) may be available hereunder for the
issuance of Letters of Credit or the repayment of Letter of Credit Obligations;
and provided, further, that no amounts may be borrowed hereunder for the purpose
of paying or financing the payment of dividends declared by the Borrower.

     2.10 Other Fees.

          (a)  In addition to the other fees provided for herein, the Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks ratably from the Borrower's
own funds (and not from Loan proceeds):

               (i)  An unused facility fee (the "UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE") in an
amount equal to the average daily unused amount of the Commitment Amount from
June 6, 1996 until the Revolving Maturity Date, multiplied by the rate of
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum based upon a three hundred and
sixty-day (360-day) year and the actual number of day elapsed. Installments of
the Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Banking Day of each calendar quarter during which there is outstanding any
unused Commitment Amount and on the Revolving Maturity Date or the last day of
the Term-out Option Period. No Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable during the
Term-out Option Period. For purposes of computing the Unused Commitment Fee, the
amount of the Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to that certain
Irrevocable Request and Authorization to Disburse, dated as of February 14, 1996
(the "IRREVOCABLE REQUEST"), delivered by the Borrower to BofA, shall be
considered part of the unused portion of the Commitment Amount until such time
as the letter of credit referenced in the Irrevocable Request is

                                       28
<PAGE>   29

returned to BofA or such funds become the subject of a "Funding Notice", as such
term is used in the Irrevocable Request; and

               (ii) For each Letter of Credit, a fee equal to one and one-half
percent (1.50%) per annum (based upon a three hundred and sixty-day (360-day)
year and the actual number of day elapsed) of the face amount of such Letter of
Credit (as the same may be increased by any amendment thereto). The first
monthly installment of such fee shall be payable upon issuance of such Letter of
Credit and thereafter monthly installments shall be payable in advance for the
term of such Letter of Credit (as such term may be extended). The Borrower shall
also pay to the Issuing Bank all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank
related to the issuance of such Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto, which
costs and expenses shall be payable prior to the issuance of such Letter of
Credit or any such amendment.

          (b)  The Borrower shall pay an agency fee to the Agent for the Agent's
own account, as set forth in that certain letter agreement, dated May 20, 1996,
by and between BofA and the Borrower.

     2.11 Payments by Borrower.

          (a)  Except as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Letters of
Credit, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account
of the Banks ratably at the Agent's Payment Office, and shall be made in U.S.
dollars and in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Loan
Documents. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share
(or other applicable share as may be agreed by a Bank) of such payment in like
funds as received to each Bank's Payment Office. Whenever any payment hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. Any payment
received by the Agent later than 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on any Banking
Day or any payment received on a day other than a Banking Day shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Banking Day and any applicable interest or
fee shall continue to accrue.

          (b)  Agent shall have the exclusive right to collect from Borrower or
any guarantors, third parties, on account of the Loan, including principal,
interest, fees, protective advances, prepayment premiums (if any), whether such
sums are received directly from Borrower, any guarantors, or any other persons,
or obtained by right of offset by Agent of any kind, by sale of any Collateral,
or by enforcement of the Loan Documents. No Bank shall independently initiate
any judicial action or equivalent action or other proceeding against the
Borrower with respect to the Secured Facility.

          (c)  The Borrower shall reimburse the Banks for any and all Payment
Taxes the Banks shall incur with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document. All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be
made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in
order 



                                       29
<PAGE>   30

that all such payments (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Payment Taxes) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise required to be paid
under this Agreement. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable to the
Banks under this Section 2.11 submitted to the Borrower by the Agent shall show
in reasonable detail the amount payable, the calculations used to determine such
amount and the basis of such claim and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 2.11 with respect
to past payments shall be due within ten (10) days following receipt by the
Borrower of such certificate from the Agent; any such amounts payable with
respect to future payments shall be due concurrently with such future payments.
With respect to each deduction or withholding for or on account of Payment
Taxes, the Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Agent such certificates,
receipts and other documents as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of
the Agent) to establish any tax credit to which the Banks may be entitled.

     2.12 Prepayments.

          (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Note, upon at
least one Banking Day's notice to the Agent, the Borrower may, at its option,
prepay the Loans (together with all other fees, costs, charges and expenses of
the Banks accrued but unpaid through the date of prepayment) in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium; provided,
however, that LIBO Rate Loans (i) may only be prepaid on a day other than the
last day of the applicable Interest Period upon payment of the prepayment fee
specified in subsection (b) below, (ii) any partial prepayment shall be made in
an amount at least equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any
higher amount that is an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000). If any such notice is given, the principal amount to be paid shall
be irrevocably due and payable on the date specified in the notice, together
with all other fees, costs, charges and expenses of the Banks accrued but unpaid
through the date of prepayment. Accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of any
prepayment shall be due and payable on the next Interest Payment Date following
such prepayment.

          (b)  The prepayment fee payable in accordance with subsection (a)(i)
above shall be payable to Agent for the account of the Banks ratably and shall
be equal to the sum of:

               (i)  Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250); and

               (ii) the amount, if any, by which X exceeds Y, where

                    (A)  X equals the additional interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount prepaid at the Adjusted LIBO Rate without any
spread, if that amount had remained outstanding until the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, and

                    (B)  Y equals the interest that Banks could recover by
placing the prepaid funds on deposit in the London U.S. dollar inter-bank

                                       30
<PAGE>   31


market for a period beginning on the day of the prepayment and ending on the
last day of the applicable Interest Period, or for a comparable period for which
an appropriate rate quote may be obtained; and

               (iii) an amount equal to all costs and expenses which Banks
reasonably expect to incur in liquidation and reinvestment of the prepaid funds.

     In no event shall the Banks be obligated to make any payment or refund to
the Borrower, nor shall the Borrower be entitled to any setoff or other claim
against the Banks, should the return which the Banks could obtain under the
prepayment formula exceed the interest that the Banks would have received if no
prepayment had occurred.

     The foregoing prepayment fee shall also be payable if prepayment occurs as
the result of the acceleration of the Obligations by the Agent because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and in that event the Banks shall,
automatically and without notice or demand, be entitled to receive, concurrently
with any such prepayment, the prepayment fee set forth above and the obligation
to pay such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal hereof.

     THE BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE BANKS WOULD NOT MAKE
TO THE BORROWER THE LIBO RATE LOANS WITHOUT THE BORROWER'S AGREEMENT, AS SET
FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION, TO PAY THE BANKS A PREPAYMENT FEE UPON THE
SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL BEARING INTEREST BASED UPON
THE ADJUSTED LIBO RATE FOLLOWING THE ACCELERATION OF THE REVOLVING MATURITY DATE
(OR THE TERM-OUT MATURITY DATE IF THE BORROWER ELECTS THE TERM-OUT OPTION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(b)) HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT HEREUNDER. THE
BORROWER HAS CAUSED THOSE PERSONS SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT ON THE BORROWER'S
BEHALF TO SEPARATELY INITIAL THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION BY PLACING
THEIR INITIALS BELOW:

                  INITIALS:        _______________

               (c)  The outstanding Obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of all Net Cash Proceeds derived from the sale of securities by the
Borrower (excluding sales of the Borrower's common stock in the Second Public
Offering or any stock option or dividend reinvestment plan of the Borrower).

               (d)  The outstanding Obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of all insurance proceeds received under any insurance policy
maintained pursuant to any Loan Document which are required by that Loan
Document to be applied to the Obligations.



                                       31
<PAGE>   32

               (e)  The outstanding obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of the release price to be paid to the Agent for the account of the
Banks ratably under Section 2.22(a)(iii) hereof when proceeds are received by
reason of the sale or refinancing of any Collateral.

               (f)  In the event the Borrower elects to prepay the Secured
Facility in whole or in part in accordance with and subject to the requirements,
terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.19, the Agent will promptly notify
each Bank of the Agent's receipt of the Borrower's notice with respect thereto
and of each Bank's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any reduction or
termination of the Secured Facility, including any voluntary reduction in the
Commitment Amount by the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement, shall be applied to
each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share.

          2.13 Agent's Right to Charge Account. The Borrower authorizes the
Agent at any time and from time to time (irrevocably until the Obligations are
paid in full and the Loan Availability hereunder is terminated) to charge any
Obligations then due against any deposit account maintained by the Borrower with
the Agent; provided that the Agent shall not have any obligation to charge any
such Obligations against any such deposit account. The Borrower hereby grants a
perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Agent in all such
deposit accounts as security for the Obligations of the Borrower, together will
all rights of a secured party with respect thereto. The Borrower shall execute
such additional documents as the Agent in its discretion may require and shall
provide all other documents requested by the Agent to evidence or perfect its
first priority security interest in such deposit accounts.

          2.14 Set-Off. Subject to Section 2.11(c), in addition to any rights
and remedies of the Banks provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Banks shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower
(any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, to set-off and apply against any Indebtedness, whether mature
or unmatured and whether fixed or contingent, of the Borrower to the Banks under
this Agreement, any amount then or thereafter owing from the Banks to the
Borrower.

          2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if the Agent determines (which determination, in
the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank
eurocurrency market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (a) proposed
Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as LIBO Rate Loans, (b) a LIBO
Rate Loan that will result from the requested conversion of any Reference Rate
Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan or (c) the continuation of a LIBO Rate Loan as such
for an additional Interest Period (any such Loan described in clauses (a), (b)
or (c) of this Section being herein called an "Affected Loan"), the Agent shall
forthwith give telephonic or facsimile notice of its determination, confirmed in
writing, to the Borrower at least two (2) Banking Days prior to, as the case may
be, the

                                       32
<PAGE>   33
funding date for such Affected Loan, the conversion date for such Affected Loan
or the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Affected Loan. Unless
the Borrower notifies the Agent promptly upon receipt of such telephonic or
facsimile notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding the
Affected Loan, then any requested LIBO Rate Loan shall be made as, continued as,
or converted into a Reference Rate Loan, as the case may be. Until any such
notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further Affected Loan shall be made.

          2.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any change of law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for
any Bank to make or maintain a LIBO Rate Loan as contemplated by this Agreement
or to accept deposits in order to make or maintain a LIBO Rate Loan, (a) such
Bank acting through the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, (b)
the agreement of such Bank hereunder to make or convert into LIBO Rate Loans
shall be suspended forthwith and (c) any and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans
made by such Bank and then outstanding shall automatically become Reference Rate
Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto
(or, if permitted by Applicable Law, at the end of such Interest Periods). The
Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs incurred by
such Bank as a consequence of the Borrower making any conversion in accordance
with this Section, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable
by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by such Bank in order to make or
maintain its LIBO Rate Loans. A certificate as to any such costs payable
pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted by an officer of such Bank to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error.

          2.17 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, the
adoption of or any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Bank
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued
after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

               (a)  Shall subject such Bank to any tax, duty or other charge
with respect to a Letter of Credit or a Loan or its obligation to issue any such
Letter of Credit or make any such Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of
payments by the Borrower to such Bank on or in respect of such Loan (except for
changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of such Bank);

               (b)  Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other
acquisition of funds by such Bank for any Letter of Credit or any Loan (except
for any reserve, special deposit or other requirement included in the
determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable); or


                                       33
<PAGE>   34

               (c)  Shall impose on such Bank any other condition directly
related to any Letter of Credit or any Loan; and

               (d)  The result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to such Bank of issuing, making, renewing or maintaining such Letter of Credit
or Loan beyond any adjustment made by such Bank in determining the applicable
fee or interest rate for such Letter of Credit or Loan, or to reduce any amount
receivable by it in respect of such Letter of Credit or Loan;

then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly, upon demand by such Bank,
pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank any additional amounts necessary
to compensate such Bank for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as
reasonably determined by such Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Note or
any other Loan Document; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay
any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the thirtieth (30th)
day before the date of any such demand. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by an officer of
such Bank to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive, in the
absence of manifest error.

     2.18 Capital Adequacy.

          (a)  For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term "Bank" includes each
Bank and any company controlling a Bank. The term "CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENT"
means any applicable existing or future law, rule, regulation or guideline, or
any change in any of the foregoing, that relates to the manner in which a Bank
allocates capital resources to its loans and commitments, or to a class of such
loans and commitments which includes the Loans, or to any letters of credit such
as the Letters of Credit.

          (b)  This Section 2.18 shall apply whenever a Bank in its reasonable
judgment determines:

               (i)  That the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Bank is or would be affected by any Capital Adequacy
Requirement, or by the manner in which any Capital Adequacy Requirement may now
or in the future be interpreted or administered by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with such interpretation or
administration, or by such Bank's compliance with any request or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, of any such governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency; and

               (ii) That as a result, the rate of return on such Bank's capital
has been or will be reduced because of such Bank's obligations under the Loan
Documents, taking into account such Bank's policies with respect to capital
adequacy and such Bank's desired return on capital.



                                       34
<PAGE>   35

     If the conditions described above have been met, Borrower shall pay the
Agent for the account of such Bank, upon written notice and demand made as
specified below, such amounts as such Bank may reasonably determine would
compensate such Bank for Borrower's allocable share of such Bank's reduced rate
of return; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
amount with respect to any period prior to the thirtieth (30th) day before the
date of any such demand.

          (c)  Such Bank shall give the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) at
least thirty (30) days' written notice before such Bank's initial demand for
compensation under this Section 2.18, and before any subsequent demand for such
compensation at a level higher than that previously requested. The notice shall
describe in reasonable detail the method of calculating such compensation.

          (d)  All compensation under this Section 2.18 shall be payable
quarterly in arrears. Any demand by a Bank for such compensation shall include a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining the
amounts payable, and any such certificate shall be conclusive and binding in the
absence of manifest error.

     2.19 Termination of Unused Commitment. The Borrower may, at any time, at
its option and upon five (5) business days' written notice to the Agent, elect
to terminate, in multiples of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), any
amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the unused portion of
the Commitment Amount; once so terminated, such portion of the Commitment Amount
shall not be reinstated.

     2.20 Collateral. As of the Effective Date, the Collateral hereunder shall
be the Existing Collateral and the Banks acknowledge that all conditions
specified in this Section 2.20(c) have been satisfied with respect to each
property constituting part of the Existing Collateral. Additional Collateral may
be offered by the Borrower and shall be included in the Borrowing Base only in
accordance with the following and any additional terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement:

          (a)  Request for Borrowing Base Increase. The Borrower from time to
time may request that real property owned or to be acquired by the Borrower be
accepted as Collateral and included in the Borrowing Base by delivering to the
Agent a Request for Borrowing Base Increase as to such Collateral.

          (b)  Acceptance of Collateral. The Required Banks shall have the
right, in their sole discretion, and after performing such due diligence as the
Required Banks desire in their sole discretion, to accept or reject any real
property offered as Collateral. The Borrower shall at its expense provide the
Required Banks with all requested due diligence materials and information,
including, without limitation, title reports, environmental reports, soils
reports, flood plain information, entitlement documents and plans and
specifications, occupancy permits, operating statements and rent rolls, with
respect to any offered real property.

                                       35
<PAGE>   36

          (c)  Conditions to Inclusion of Collateral in Borrowing Base. Each of
the following conditions must be satisfied (or waived in writing by the Required
Banks in their sole discretion) prior to the Required Banks' acceptance of any
real property as Collateral and its inclusion in the Borrowing Base:

               (i)  Acceptances. The Required Banks shall have accepted the real
property as Collateral for inclusion into the Borrowing Base in the Required
Banks' sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.20(b) above, and the Agent
shall have so notified the Borrower in writing, which writing the Borrower may
reasonably rely upon without the need for independent verification from any
other Bank.

               (ii) Security Documents. The Borrower shall execute and deliver
to the Agent such Security Documents as the Agent may require in its sole
discretion, including a Deed of Trust, UCC-1 financing statement, fixture
filing, unsecured environmental indemnity, and any other certificates or
documents; and such Security Documents shall have been recorded and filed, as
appropriate, so as to grant the Agent for the benefit of the Banks a perfected
first priority lien on the intended real property collateral and all leases,
rents and personal property relating thereto.

               (iii) Title Assurances. The Agent shall receive an American Land
Title Association lender's policy of title insurance issued by Title Company,
with such endorsements as the Agent may reasonably require (including mechanics
lien coverage), with a liability limit of the Commitment Amount (aggregated with
the liability limits of all other title policies issued hereunder), and insuring
the Agent as the holder for the pari passu benefit of the Banks of a first lien
priority Deed of Trust encumbering the applicable Collateral, subject only to
such exceptions as the Agent may approve in its sole discretion. The Agent shall
also receive such reinsurance in such amounts and from such title insurers other
than the Title Company as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion.

               The Agent may, at its option, also require a certification from
the applicable state authority that no financing statements have been filed
affecting the applicable collateral that would have priority over the Agent's
security interest covering the same personal property Collateral.

               (iv) Use and Entitlements. The Collateral shall consist of
apartment properties or industrial properties with completed Improvements, and
shall be properly zoned and in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws for its intended use.

               (v)  No Restrictions. The Agent shall be reasonably satisfied,
based upon such information as the Agent deems relevant, that the Collateral is
not subject to any moratorium, law, government restriction, or other
requirement, covenant, condition, or restriction that might materially adversely
affect the marketability or refinanceability thereof.

                                       36
<PAGE>   37

               (vi) Collateral Value. The Agent shall have designated a
Collateral Value for the Collateral, and shall have notified the Borrower in
writing of the amount thereof.

               (vii) Insurance. The Borrower shall have provided the Agent with
evidence satisfactory to the Agent that all insurance required by the Agent with
respect to the Collateral has been obtained (including appropriate lender's loss
payable endorsements).

               (viii) State. The collateral shall be located in California,
Oregon and/or Washington.

               (ix) Tenant Estoppels. In the event the Collateral is industrial
property, the Agent shall have received a Tenant Estoppel Certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit "F" attached hereto, executed by each
tenant leasing fifty thousand (50,000) square feet or more of the leaseable
space of such Collateral.

          (d)  Adjustment of Borrowing Base. In addition to adjustments
resulting from the sale or refinancing of the Collateral (and therefore its
removal from the Borrowing Base), the Agent may adjust the Borrowing Base as
follows:

               (i)  The Agent may at any time exclude from the Borrowing Base
calculation the Collateral Value of any Collateral if Hazardous Substances
(other than those disclosed in environmental reports delivered to the Agent
prior to the time Collateral becomes part of the Borrowing Base, so long as the
potential remediation cost or potential liability has not materially increased,
as reasonably determined by the Agent) are present on such Collateral and the
remediation of such Hazardous Substances will impose costs upon the Borrower (or
such owner of the Collateral as there may be) which, in the good faith
determination of the Agent, are material in relation to the value of such
Collateral;

               (ii) The Collateral Value of any property included within the
Borrowing Base shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing
Base if the applicable Deed of Trust encumbering such property for any reason
ceases or fails to constitute a valid, perfected and subsisting first priority
lien (subject only to Liens existing at the time the property became part of the
Borrowing Base and those Liens permitted by the Agent) on the property purported
to be covered thereby; and

               (iii) The Agent may reduce the applicable Collateral Value for
any Collateral within the Borrowing Base, and thereby reduce the Borrowing Base,
by an amount which the Agent reasonably determines, should any such Collateral
be subject, in whole or in part, to any condemnation, casualty or other material
injury; provided that if the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are paid
to the Agent, and the conditions specified in Section 5.5(d) of the applicable
Deed of Trust to allowing the Borrower the use of the proceeds or awards to
repair or restore the Collateral have 


                                       37
<PAGE>   38

been satisfied, the Agent shall not reduce the applicable Collateral Value for
such Collateral which has been the subject of such condemnation, casualty or
other injury (or shall only reduce the Collateral Value to the value which the
Agent reasonably determines the Collateral will have once the repair or
restoration is complete, at the Agent's option), so long as the repair or
restoration is proceeding diligently and in accordance with the plans and
specifications and other requirements as specified in section 5.5(d) of the
applicable Deed of Trust.

          (e)  Security for Obligations. All of the Obligations (except for the
Unsecured Environmental Indemnity and any other obligations that are
specifically stated to be unsecured by the terms of the applicable Loan
Documents) shall be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms of
the Security Documents.

     2.21 Rebalancing. At any time following the Effective Date, the Majority
Banks may request that the Agent commission reappraisals of each of the
properties constituting part of the Collateral within the Borrowing Base and
establish new Collateral Values for each of such properties for purposes of the
calculation under clause (a) of the definition of Borrowing Base set forth in
Section 1.1 of this Agreement. Upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay
all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the reappraisal of such
properties in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate for all such appraisals. Except as otherwise specified in Sections
2.05(c), 2.20(d) or other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, the
Majority Banks may redesignate new Collateral Values for each such property
(following the initial designation at the time such property was originally
included within the Borrowing Base) only once during any two-year (2-year)
period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the redesignation
by the Majority Banks of a new Collateral Value for any such property following
the Effective Date based upon an appraisal and revaluation process initiated but
not completed prior to June 6, 1996 shall not preclude the Majority Banks from
once again redesignating a new Collateral Value for such property during the
two-year (2-year) period following June 6, 1996. The Agent shall notify the
Borrower in writing of the new Borrowing Base, if any, resulting from any
reappraisal and redesignation of new Collateral Values made pursuant to this
Section 2.21, which notification the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without
the need for independent verification from any other Bank, and thereafter such
new Borrowing Base shall be the Borrowing Base under this Agreement for all
purposes. If any payment to the Banks is required to be made by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof as a result of the recalculation of the Borrowing
Base under this Section 2.21, the Borrower shall either: (a) within thirty (30)
days and without demand from the Agent pay such amount to the Agent as is
required to reduce the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit
Obligations to an amount not greater than the Loan Availability; or (b) elect,
by two (2) days' written notice to the Agent, to amend clause (a) of the
definition of Borrowing Base in Section 1.1 by replacing the words "fifty-five
percent (55%)" with the words "sixty percent (60%)", whereupon the definition of
Borrowing Base set forth in Section 1.1 shall be deemed to have been amended to
read "sixty percent (60%)" (but the remainder of the definition of Borrowing
Base shall otherwise remain 


                                       38
<PAGE>   39
unmodified) and the Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days and without
demand such amounts as are required to reduce the aggregate outstanding Advances
and Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount not greater than the Loan
Availability based upon such amended definition of Borrowing Base.

     2.22 Release of Collateral. Provided that no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, and subject to any other conditions contained in
this Agreement:

          (a)  Upon Sale or Refinancing. The Banks irrevocably authorize the
Agent to release the entirety of its interest in any Collateral from the lien of
the Deed of Trust at the request of Borrower upon the sale or refinancing of the
entirety of such Collateral, provided that:

               (i)  The sale or refinancing is not prohibited by any provision
of this Agreement or any Security Document;

               (ii) The release of the Collateral does not result in a violation
of any provision of this Agreement or any Security Document, and the Borrower
shall first have made such payment to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks
ratably as is required to cause the outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit
Obligations not to exceed the Loan Availability immediately after giving effect
to such release;

               (iii) Prior to such release, any rebalancing payment required to
be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21 with respect to the Collateral
remaining as part of the Borrowing Base following such release shall have been
made;

               (iv) The sale or refinancing relates to all of the Borrower's
interest in the real estate project comprising the Collateral; and

               (v)  No such release shall affect any of the Borrower's
obligations under the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement or Sections 5.22 or 8.5
hereof with respect to such released Collateral.

          (b)  Final Release. The Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent to
release all of the Collateral upon payment in full of all Obligations and the
full discharge and release of all Letter of Credit Obligations.

          (c)  Costs. As a condition to the Agent's obligation to release any
Collateral, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the Agent's
costs incurred in connection with the release, including the Agent's
reconveyance fee, recording fees, escrow fees and the cost of any title policy
endorsements reasonably requested by the Agent.

     2.23 Reaffirmation. The Borrower, the Agent and the Banks acknowledge and
agree that the Irrevocable Request remains in full force and effect and is

                                       39
<PAGE>   40


unchanged by the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby reaffirms its covenants and
obligations under the Irrevocable Request, and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges the continuing effectiveness and
priority of the Agent's security interest in the "Collateral", as such term is
used in the Irrevocable Request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower and
the Banks acknowledge and agree that until such time as the letter of credit
referenced in the Irrevocable Request is returned to BofA, the Loan Availability
hereunder shall be reduced by Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

                                  ARTICLE III.

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER


     As of the Effective Date and as of the date each Advance is made or each
Letter of Credit is issued, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent
and each Bank as follows:

     4.1  Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, has full corporate power and all material
Governmental Actions required to carry on its business as now being or proposed
to be conducted and is in good standing and duly licensed or qualified to
transact business in each other jurisdiction where the failure so to do would
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or
operations.

                                       42
<PAGE>   43

     4.2  Corporate and Governmental Action; No Contravention. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Documents and the other Loan Documents are within the Borrower's
corporate power and authority, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on its part, do not and will not require any Governmental
Actions other than any that have already been obtained and do not contravene, or
constitute a default under, any provision of any Applicable Laws or of the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or of any agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any assets of
the Borrower.

     4.3  Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes, and the Note and Security
Documents (when executed and delivered as contemplated by this Agreement), will
constitute, the valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except in each
case as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity.

     4.4  Financial Information.

          (a)  All financial information delivered to BofA by the Borrower
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, the annual financial statement for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995 and the quarterly financial statement for the fiscal quarter ended June
30, 1996) has been delivered as of the Effective Date and such information
accurately presents the financial position of the Borrower as of the dates
thereof and the results of its operations during the periods covered thereby.

          (b)  Since June 30, 1996, there has been no material adverse change in
the ownership, management, business operations or financial condition prospects,
liabilities or capitalization of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (c)  As of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any material liabilities or commitments, fixed, contingent or
otherwise, that were not reflected on the annual financial statement for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 or the quarterly statement for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 1996 delivered to BofA by the Borrower.

          (d)  The management prepared pro forma balance sheet and proforma
statements or operations and cash flows for the Borrower set forth in the
Supplemental Registration Statement fairly present the financial position of the
Borrower as of the Effective Date.

     4.5  Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against or affecting the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority which if decided adversely
to the

                                       43
<PAGE>   44

Borrower or such Subsidiaries would materially and adversely affect the
ownership, management, business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or which in any manner
questions the validity of this Agreement or the Note.

     4.6  Compliance with ERISA. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries have fulfilled their obligations under the minimum
funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, are in
compliance in all material respects with the currently applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code relating to each Plan, have not incurred any material
liability (excluding liability for PBGC premiums) to the PBGC or a Plan under
Title IV of ERISA and have taken no actions which would result in the occurrence
of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(h).

     4.7  Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States
federal income tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by them, except for those which are being contested
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

     4.8  Title. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and (in the case of
real property) marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of the
properties and assets reflected in any financial statement delivered to the
Agent (including the annual financial statement for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 and the quarterly financial statement for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 1996) except for covenants, restrictions, rights, easements and
exceptions in title which (a) in the case of any Collateral, have been approved
by the Agent, and (b) in the case of properties other than Collateral do not (i)
interfere with the occupation, use and employment of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries of such properties and assets in the normal course of its business
as currently conducted or (ii) impair the value of such business, properties or
assets; and such titles or interests are free and clear of Liens except, in the
case of properties other than Collateral, for any Liens permitted under Section
5.11 after the date of this Agreement.

     4.9  No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred or would
result from the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this
Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any of the other Loan Documents.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries are in default in any material
respect under any Governmental Action binding upon or affecting any of them or
any of their properties and assets, and no such Governmental Action materially
and adversely affects the ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
carry on its business as currently conducted or its ability to perform its

is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate
Commerce Act or any other similar Applicable Law limiting or restricting the
incurrence of Indebtedness.

     4.11 No Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" within the meaning of
Regulation U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally,
or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending, or

any such "margin stock" or any "margin securities" within the meaning of
Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     4.12 Status as a REIT. The Borrower is qualified as a real estate
investment trust under the Code and is in compliance with all Applicable Laws
applicable to it as a real estate investment trust, except where such
noncompliance is or would be immaterial and, if required, has been authorized by
appropriate Governmental Action.

     4.13 Environmental Matters. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge and
except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws

the presence of which would have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, financial condition or prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, neither
the Borrower, its Subsidiaries nor any of their agents or contractors have
deposited, discharged, disposed of, stored or placed any Hazardous Substances on

its Subsidiaries in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, financial condition or prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Nothing contained in this Section 4.13 shall in
any way limit or impair any representations, warranties, agreements or
indemnities of the Borrower set forth in the Unsecured Environmental Indemnity.

     4.14 Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and the
Supplemental Registration Statement do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.

     4.15 Full Disclosure. There is no fact which the Borrower has not disclosed
in writing to the Agent and the Banks which has, or so far as the Borrower can
now reasonably foresee will have, a material adverse effect on the ability of
the Borrower

                                       45

to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to pay the principal of or

     5.8  Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans

     5.9  Limitations on Activities. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it cause,
suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business activities

profits therefrom, other than (a) the Deeds of Trust, (b) liens existing as of
the Effective Date and set forth on Schedule 5.11 hereto, (c) deeds of trust

to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, and (d) Liens which the Borrower is
contesting diligently and in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings so long

the Agent in its reasonable discretion), and the property covered by such Lien
is not in danger of being lost or forfeited by reason of foreclosure or
otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11 shall not be construed
to limit or impair (x) any more stringent requirements as to the Collateral to
be included in the Borrowing base under the Section 2.20 above and the
permissible Liens thereon, (y) any covenants or requirements contained in the
Security Documents to be performed or observed by the Borrower regarding Liens,
including those prohibiting further encumbrances of the Collateral, or (z) any

respective Affiliates, assignees, successors, officers, directors, employees and
agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any
and all Indemnified Costs (defined below) directly or indirectly arising out of
or resulting from construction of any improvements on the Collateral, including
any defective workmanship or materials; or any failure to satisfy any
requirements of any laws, regulations, ordinances, governmental policies or
standards, reports, subdivision maps or development agreements that apply or
pertain to the Collateral; or breach of any representation or warranty made or
given by the Borrower to any of the Indemnified Parties or to any prospective or
actual buyer of all or any portion of the Collateral; or any claim or cause of
action of any kind by any party that any Indemnified Party is liable for any act
or omission of Indemnitor or any other person or entity in connection with the

property), or any resulting damages, harm or injuries to the person or property
of any third parties or to any natural resources. The foregoing indemnity shall
not cover any Indemnified Costs which arise as the result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified
Parties who are not parties to this Agreement are also intended beneficiaries of
this Section, as well as the Banks.

     5.23 Leasing. Except as otherwise approved by the Agent in writing, all
leases of space in the Collateral (each, a "LEASE") shall be entered into with
bona fide third party tenants that the Borrower reasonably determines following
due investigation are financially capable of performing their obligations under
such Lease, and shall reflect arms-length transactions at the then current
market rate for comparable space. Borrower shall perform all obligations
required to be performed by it as landlord under each Lease. Borrower shall not
accept payment of more than one (1) month's rent in advance from any tenant,
except for deposits in the nature of security deposits, cleaning deposits and
first and last month's rental payments.

          (a)  Special Covenants Applicable to Apartment Properties. With

          (b)  Delivery of Leasing Information and Documents. Borrower shall
promptly deliver to the Agent such rent rolls, leasing schedules and reports,
operating statements and other leasing information as the Agent from time to
time may request. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly
obtain and deliver to Agent such subordination and attornment agreements from
tenants as the Agent from time to time may require. In no event shall any
approval by the Agent of a Lease be a representation of any kind with regard to
the Lease or its enforceability, of the financial capacity of any tenant or
Lease guarantor.

     5.24 Tenant Estoppels. Within five (5) business days of execution of any
Applicable Industrial Lease (as defined below), the Borrower shall obtain and
deliver to the Agent a Tenant Estoppel Certificate, substantially in the form of
Exhibit "F" attached hereto, executed by each tenant under such Applicable

ERISA; (B) notice shall be given by any plan administrator to Affected Parties
(as defined in Section 4001(A)(21) of ERISA of intent to terminate a Plan where

Default specified in Section 6.1(j) or (k) above, the Loan Availability shall
automatically be terminated and the Note and the principal of and accrued
interest on the Loans and all other Obligations shall automatically become due
and payable and (2) in the case of any other Event of Default specified in this
Section 6.1, the Majority Banks may by notice in writing delivered by Agent to
the Borrower, terminate the Loan Availability, and it shall upon such notice be
terminated, and the Majority Banks may by notice in writing delivered by the
Agent to the Borrower, declare the Note and the principal of and accrued
interest on the Loans and all other Obligations to be, and the same shall upon
such notice forthwith become, due and payable; and the Agent shall at the
request of, or may with the consent of, the Majority Banks exercise all of the
Bank's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law. In
addition to all of its other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, the
Majority Banks acting through the Agent may, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, require that the Borrower shall deposit cash in the Cash Collateral
Account in an amount equal to the face amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit as of the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default, in the same
fashion as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(iii) hereof, in which the Agent shall
have and is hereby granted a security interest to secure all reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank arising in the event of a draw
under any such outstanding Letters of Credit and to otherwise secure all
Obligations owing to the Banks. The Borrower shall deposit the required amounts
of cash into the Cash Collateral Account within two (2) Banking Days after
demand by the Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Banks
elect to declare the Note and the principal and accrued interest on the Loans
and all other Obligations immediately due and payable in accordance with this
Section 6.1, then the Borrower shall immediately, without demand, deposit cash
in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit as of the date of such declaration.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                   THE AGENT

     7.1  Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints,
designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to the Letters of
Credit (and all conditions precedent applicable to the issuance or extension
thereof), until such time and except for so long as the Agent may elect by
written notice to the Borrower and the Banks to act for the Issuing Bank with
respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (i) for acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing
Bank in connection with Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent", as
used in this Article VII, included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to
the Issuing Bank.

     7.2  Agent's Powers. Subject to the limitations set forth in this
Agreement, the Agent's powers include but are not limited to the power: (i) to
administer, manage and service the Secured Facility; (ii) to enforce the Loan
Documents; (iii) to make all decisions under the Loan Documents in connection
with the day-to-day administration of the Secured Facility, any appraisals or
inspections required by the Loan Documents, and other routine administration and
servicing matters; (iv) to collect and receive from the Borrower or any third
persons all payments of amounts due under the terms of the Loan Documents and to
distribute the amounts thereof to the Banks; (v) to collect and distribute or
disburse all other amounts due under the Loan Documents; (vi) to grant or
withhold consents, approvals or waivers, and make any other determinations in
connection with the Loan Documents; and (vii) to exercise all such powers as are
incidental to any of the foregoing matters. The Agent shall hold the Collateral
in its name alone, as agent for the Banks. The Agent shall hold a complete set
of the Loan Documents. The Agent shall furnish to the Banks copies of material
documents, including confidential ones, received from the Borrower regarding the
Secured Facility, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the authenticity,
validity, accuracy or completeness of the information provided.

     7.3  No Fiduciary Duty or Implied Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents or, in the case of duties and responsibilities vis-a-vis the
Banks, the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, nor shall the Agent have
any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Agent.

                                       58
<PAGE>   59

     7.4  Co-Lender Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that the Banks have
executed a Co-Lender Agreement of even date herewith (the "Co-Lender Agreement")
to supplement the Loan Documents with respect to the relationship of the Banks
and the Agent among themselves in connection with the Secured Facility. The
Co-Lender Agreement is not a Loan Document and the Borrower is not bound by the
terms thereof.

     7.5  Resignation of Agent.

          (a)  The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall,
resign as the Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower and the Banks.
If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor agent, which successor shall be subject to approval
by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Borrower and the Banks, a successor agent which would qualify as an Eligible
Assignee. Upon the acceptance of appointment as successor agent hereunder, such
successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the
retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as the Agent shall terminate.
The appointment of the successor agent shall become effective only upon the
Borrower's receipt of written notice of the Majority Banks' appointment of the
successor agent and the successor agent's acceptance of such appointment. After
any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions
regarding payment of costs and expenses and indemnification of the Agent shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as the Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a
retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Banks shall perform all of the
duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks
appoint a successor agent.

          (b)  Upon replacement of the Agent as provided in this Agreement, the
former Agent shall promptly deliver to the new Agent an assignment of all
beneficial interest in any Deeds of Trust and any other Security Documents (if
before acquisition of the Collateral), or a quitclaim deed to and assignment of
any Collateral (if after acquisition of the Collateral) and copies of any books,
records, and documents related to the Secured Facility and the Collateral then
in the former Agent's possession to which the Banks are entitled.

     7.6  No Interest in Agent's Other Property. A Bank which is not the Agent
shall have no interest in any (i) property taken as security for any other loan
or financial accommodation made or furnished to the Borrower by the Agent (in
which such Bank has not acquired an interest); (ii) property now or hereafter in
the Agent's possession or under the Agent's control other than by reason of the
Loan Documents; or 

                                       59
<PAGE>   60

(iii) deposits which may be or might become security for the Obligations by
reason of the general description contained in any instrument not a Loan
Document held by the Agent or by reason of any right of setoff, counterclaim,
banker's lien or otherwise. If, however, such property shall actually be applied
to the payment of amounts owing by the Borrower in connection with the Secured
Facility, then each Bank shall be entitled to its Pro Rata Share, if any, of
such application to the Secured Facility.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

     Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication given by
telecopier or telex must be confirmed within forty-eight (48) hours by letter
mailed or delivered to the appropriate party at its address. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand,

mailed; if given by telex or telecopier, when sent; or if given by personal
delivery, when delivered. Each party shall notify all other parties in writing
within ten (10) days after a change in any of the addresses to which or the
Persons to whom such notices are to be delivered. If any day on which any notice

been given on the next succeeding Banking Day.

     8.2  Copies of Notices. Whenever any party to this Agreement is required to
give any notice, it shall do so in such number of copies as the Person entitled
to the same shall reasonably request.

     8.3  No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Agent, the
Banks or the Borrower in exercising any remedy, right, power or privilege under
this Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver of such remedy, right, power or privilege nor shall
any single or partial exercise of such remedy, right, power or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of such remedy, right, power or privilege
or the exercise of any other remedy, right, power or privilege. No remedy,
right, power or privilege conferred upon or 

                                       61
<PAGE>   62

reserved to the Agent, the Banks or the Borrower by this Agreement, the Note or
any Security Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right,
power or privilege provided or permitted by this Agreement, by such Note, the
Security Documents, or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to
every other remedy, right, power or privilege so provided or permitted and each
may be exercised concurrently or independently from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient by any such Person.

     8.4  Amendments and Waivers.

          (a)  Except as otherwise provided in Article V, no amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and no consent with
respect to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks (or by the Agent
alone at the written request of the Majority Banks) and the Borrower, and
acknowledged by the Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. However, no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall do any of the
following unless it is in writing and signed by all the Banks and the Borrower,
and acknowledged by the Agent:

               (i)  Increase the Commitment Amount or the Pro Rata Share of any
Bank;

               (ii) Postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any
Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due
to the Banks (or any one of them) hereunder or under any Loan Document;

               (iii) Reduce the rate of interest or (subject to subsection (b)

the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan which is required for the
Banks, or any of them, to take any action hereunder;

               (v)  Amend this or any provision requiring consent of all Banks
for action by Agent; or

               (vi) Discharge any Guarantor, or release all or substantially all

Assignment and Acceptance in a form acceptable to the Assignor and the Agent

Affiliates, will in the aggregate retain no less than a twenty-five percent

          (c)  From and after the date the Assignor and the other Banks have
received and executed the Assignment and Acceptance (and such Assignment and

a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the

assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the Note shall be

applicable to contracts made and performed within the State of California. Any
arbitration, reference, or litigation brought under this Agreement or the Note

     8.9  Agreement Supersedes. This Agreement supersedes all previous
negotiations, loan applications, and other understandings relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement or any other modification of the terms of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing
clause shall not be construed to modify or waive in any way the provisions of,
or any of BofA's or the Borrower's rights or remedies under, the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, or any other agreement related thereto,
until such time as this Agreement and all other documents required to be
delivered hereunder have been executed and delivered by the party or parties
thereto and all conditions precedent to the effectiveness thereof have been
satisfied or waived in writing.

     8.10 Headings; Table of Contents. The article, section and subsection
headings and the Table of Contents to this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement.

     8.11 Waiver of Notice; Termination of Agreement. The Borrower by executing
this Agreement, waives any right it might otherwise have to require notice or
acceptance by any other Person of its obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement which are unconditional and absolute and waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice with respect to any of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents and with respect to any action under Section 6.1 and all other notices
and demands whatsoever, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or
for any reason whatsoever other than in accordance with its terms, the Borrower
shall nevertheless be obligated to pay amounts equal to amounts payable by it at
the time such amounts would have become due and payable by it in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents had this
Agreement not been so terminated.

     8.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document
delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and such certificate or other document.

     8.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any Note or any Loan
Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or the Note, or any Loan Document and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

     8.14 Confidential Information. Upon notification in writing by the Borrower
to the Agent and the Banks that certain specified financial data and information
furnished to the Agent or any Bank relating to the Borrower are confidential,
each Bank shall, insofar as it is legally possible, use its reasonable efforts
to keep in confidence all



                                       66
<PAGE>   67
such data and information; provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.14 shall
not be applicable to data and information otherwise disseminated to the public;
(ii) such Bank may comply with any Applicable Law requiring disclosure of such
data and information; (iii) such Bank may disclose such data and information to
any transferee or prospective transferee of any part of such Bank's interest in
the Loans or this Agreement which has agreed to hold such data and information
confidential in accordance with this Section 8.14; and (iv) each Bank may
disclose such data and information to its accountants, auditors, attorneys and
other Persons whether in its employ, acting on its behalf, or engaged on an
independent basis, insofar as disclosure of such data and information is
necessary to enable such Persons to properly perform and discharge their duties
and functions to such Bank (provided that such Bank will use reasonable efforts
to request that such Persons keep such data and information confidential [but in
no event shall the Bank have any obligation to obtain any written agreement or
acknowledgment from such Persons to keep such data and information
confidential]). No Bank shall be responsible or liable to the Borrower for any
breach of this Section 8.14 by any other Person described in subparagraph (iv)
above who is not an employee of such Bank.

     8.15 Reference and Arbitration.

          (a)  Judicial Reference. In any judicial action between or among the
parties, including but not limited to any action or cause of action arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any other
Loan Document or based on or arising from an alleged tort, all decisions of fact
and law shall at the request of any party be referred to a referee in accordance
with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 et seq. The parties shall
designate to the court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in the same manner as arbitrators are
selected in AAA-sponsored proceedings. The presiding referee of the panel, or
the referee if there is a single referee, shall be an active attorney or retired
judge. Judgment upon the award rendered by such referee or referees shall be
entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

          (b)  Mandatory Arbitration. After all Deeds of Trust have been
released, fully reconveyed, or extinguished, any controversy or claim between or
among the parties, including those arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and any claim based
on or arising from an alleged tort, shall at the request of any party be
determined by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the United States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code), notwithstanding any
choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the Commercial Rules of the
AAA. The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of limitation in
determining any claim. Any controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the arbitration award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance
of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy
shall not constitute



                                       67
<PAGE>   68
a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the
controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for
judicial relief.

          (c)  Real Property Collateral. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.15(b), no controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration
without the consent of all parties if, at the time of the proposed submission,
such controversy or claim arises from or relates to an obligation to any of the
Banks which is secured by real property collateral. If all parties do not
consent to submission of such a controversy or claim to arbitration, the
controversy or claim shall be determined as provided in Section 8.15(a).

          (d)  Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No provision of
this Section 8.15 shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to
exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any
real or personal property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or
ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or
during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of a
remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or
reference. At the Banks' option, foreclosure under a Deed of Trust may be
accomplished either by exercise or power of sale under the Deed of Trust or by
judicial foreclosure.

          (e)  Attorneys' Fees. In any arbitration or other proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the prevailing party will be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocated cost
of in-house counsel), costs and expenses.

or the rights of the Payee hereunder or under the Credit Agreement.

        If an Event of Default shall occur under the Credit Agreement, then the
Payee may, at its sole option, declare all sums owing under this Note
immediately due and payable.

which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Banking Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
the payment of interest of this Note.

Agreement shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power. No previous waiver and no delay or omission on the part of the
holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of

be entitled to deem Payee or such other Person who has been so identified by the
transferor of this Note in writing to Borrower as the holder of this Note, as
the owner and holder of this Note.

BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST
  AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION

Attention:  Mr. James Weaver
            Vice President and Regional Manager

Re:     Bank of America NT & SA ("Bank") --
        Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. ("Borrower");
        850,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit;
        Insurance Requirements
        ------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

This letter shall clarify Borrower's obligations under Section 5.3 of that
certain Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of even
date herewith, pursuant to which Borrower has agreed to maintain insurance on
all of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement).  Capitalized terms
used herein without definition shall have the meanings for them set forth in
the Credit Agreement.

Without in any way limiting Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement, and in
consideration of Bank's entering into the Credit Agreement, Borrower hereby
agrees that its obligations under such Section shall include the following:

                1.      All policies of insurance required under the Loan
        Documents shall be issued by companies approved by Bank having a minimum
        A.M. Best's rating of A:IX.  The limits, coverage, forms, deductibles,
        inception and expiration dates and cancellation provisions of all such
        policies shall be in form, substance, amount and date reasonably
        acceptable to Bank.  In addition, each required property insurance
        policy shall contain a Lender's Loss Payable Form (Form 438 BFU or
        equivalent) in favor of Bank, and shall provide that all proceeds be
        payable to Bank to the extent of Bank's interest.  An approval by Bank
        is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a representation of the solvency
        of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance.

                2.      Each policy of insurance required under the Loan
        Documents shall provide that it may not be modified or cancelled without
        at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Bank.  When any
        required insurance policy expires, Borrower shall furnish Bank with
        proof acceptable to Bank that


                                      I-1

        the policy has been reinstated or a new policy issued, continuing in
        force the insurance covered by the policy which expired.  Borrower shall
        also furnish Bank with evidence satisfactory to Bank that all premiums
        for such policy have been paid within thirty (30) days of renewal or
        issuance.  If Bank fails to receive such proof and evidence, Bank shall
        have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain current coverage and
        advance funds to pay the premiums for it.  Borrower shall repay Bank
        immediately on demand for any advance for such premiums, which shall be
        considered to be an additional loan to Borrower bearing interest at the
        Reference Rate plus three percent (3%), and secured by the Deeds of
        Trust and any other collateral held by Bank in connection with the
        Credit Agreement.
