ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

           Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") anticipates completing 
           the following acquisitions (the "Probable Acquisitions"):

           PROBABLE ACQUISITIONS

           On November 6, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to
           purchase a warehouse/distribution facility containing 360,320
           leasable square feet located in San Diego, California (the "San Diego
           Distribution Center"). The Company will purchase the San Diego
           Distribution Center from The Vons Companies, Inc., a food/grocery
           store chain, for a total consideration of $17,100,000. The Company
           plans to spend approximately $2,350,000 million in capital
           expenditures to rehabilitate the property which has had no rental
           operations prior to the Company's proposed purchase.

           On February 17, 1997, the Company entered into a purchase agreement 
           to acquire 12.9 acres of land located in Lake Forest, California (the
           "Lake Forest Land Parcel"). The Company will purchase the parcel from
           PacTel Properties, a telecommunications company, for a total
           consideration of $3,500,000 and plans to build a multitenant
           industrial complex with several buildings expected to contain, based
           on present plans, approximately 142,700 leasable square feet at a
           total cost of approximately $12,300,000.

           On April 4, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a
           controlling general partner interest in two partnerships that own two
           active senior apartment communities containing 550 apartment units
           located in Escondido, California ("Terrace Gardens Apartments and
           Morning View Terrace Apartments"). The Company's general partner
           interest will be acquired in exchange for a $1,250,000 cash
           contribution which will be used by the partnerships to fund
           capitalizable financing costs, fees and transaction costs. In
           connection with the transaction, the Company will become the sole
           general partner of the two partnerships. In addition, the existing
           partners will become limited partners and will receive approximately
           265,000 limited partnership units in such partnerships in exchange
           for their $5,900,000 minority equity interest. The limited partners'
           units may be tendered for redemption beginning, in most cases,
           two years after the closing of the transaction. Upon tender, the
           Company at its election, can either issue shares of its common stock
           for the units on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain adjustments)
           or pay cash based on the fair market value of the Company's Common
           Stock. The properties have an agreed-upon value of $25,000,000 and
           will be encumbered by approximately $19,100,000 in tax-exempt
           mortgage indebtedness.

           On April 16, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
           a warehouse/distribution facility containing 263,155 leasable square
           feet located in Algona, Washington (the "Algona Distribution
           Center"). The Algona Distribution Center will be purchased from John
           Hancock Mutual Life Insurance for a total consideration of
           $8,750,000. The Company plans to spend approximately $1,280,000
           million in capital expenditures to rehabilitate the property which
           has no rental operations prior to the Company's proposed purchase.

           The Company plans to fund the purchase of the Probable Acquisitions
           with proceeds from an unsecured $35.0 million acquisition facility
           established by the Company subsequent to March 31, 1997 and from a
           proposed offering of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's
           $250.0 million shelf registration statement declared effective April
           11, 1997. All acquisitions remain subject to certain conditions to
           closing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the acquisitions
           will be consummated.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1993 and completed
its initial public offering in February 1994. The Company anticipates that it
will acquire two industrial properties for redevelopment purposes containing
approximately 263,000 and 360,000 square feet located in Algona, Washington and
San Diego, California, respectively; a land parcel for the development of a
multitenant industrial complex located in Lake Forest, California; and a
controlling general partner interest in two partnerships that own two active
senior apartment communities containing 550 apartment units located in
Escondido, California (collectively, these properties are referred to as the
"Probable Acquisitions"). The Company expects to purchase the industrial
property in Algona, Washington and the land in Lake Forest with proceeds from
an unsecured credit facility from a bank which provides up to $35.0 million for
the acquisition of qualifying properties (the "Acquisition Facility")
established by the Company subsequent to March 31, 1997. The Company anticipates
purchasing the remaining Probable Acquisitions and to repay the borrowings on
the acquisition facility from proceeds raised from a proposed June 1997 offering
of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's $250 million shelf
registration statement declared effective April 11, 1997.

The Company's pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
1997 is based on the unaudited historical financial statements of the Company
and has been prepared as if the following transactions had occurred as of March
31, 1997: (i) the purchase of the following Probable Acquisitions with proceeds
from the Acquisition Facility established by the Company subsequent to March 31,
1997: (a) Algona Distribution Center, a warehouse/distribution facility
containing approximately 263,000 square feet of leasable space located in
Algona, Washington, and (b) a 12.9 acre land parcel located in Lake Forest,
California for the development of an industrial complex that will contain
approximately, based on present plans, 142,700 leasable square feet; (ii) the
issuance of 270,270 shares of Class A Preferred Stock in April 1997; (iii) the
repayment of certain indebtedness totaling $7,000 which matured subsequent to
March 31, 1997; (iv) the purchase of the remaining Probable Acquisitions: (a)
San Diego Distribution Center, a warehouse/distribution facility containing
approximately 360,000 square feet of leasable space located in San Diego,
California, and (b) a controlling general partner interest in two partnerships
that own two active senior apartment communities located in Escondido,
California (Terrace Gardens Apartments containing 225 apartment units, and
Morning View Terrace Apartments containing 325 apartment units), all of the
Probable Acquisitions are subject to definitive purchase agreements; (v) the
repayment of borrowings under the Acquisition Facility to purchase the Algona
Distribution Center and the land parcel located in Lake Forest; (vi) and the
completion of a June 1997 offering of the Company's Common Stock and the
application of the net proceeds thereof to complete the purchase of the Probable
Acquisitions and to repay borrowings under the Acquisition Facility.

The Company's pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1996 is based on the historical financial statements of
the Company and has been prepared as if the following transactions had occurred
as of the beginning of the period presented: (i) the purchase completed by the
Company in March 1996 of an industrial property containing approximately 189,000
leasable square feet located in Garden Grove, California (the "Pacific Gulf
Business Park"); (ii) the purchase of nine industrial properties containing
approximately 1,400,000 leasable square feet located in California completed by
the Company during June and July 1996 (the "1996 Industrial Acquisitions") using
proceeds from a public offering of 2,435,481 shares of the Company's Common
Stock consummated in May 1996 (the "1996 Common Stock Offering"); (iii) the
completion of the 1996 Common Stock Offering and the establishment of an
acquisition line of credit for the purchase of the nine 1996 Industrial
Acquisitions; (iv) the sale of a 14.3-acre parcel and a 56,000 square foot
building in August 1996 to an existing tenant at Baldwin Industrial Park
pursuant to purchase options contained in the existing tenant's lease (the
"Tenant Sale");

The Company's pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the

The following pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the
Company's financial position or results of operations would have been assuming
the completion of the described transactions as of the beginning of the periods
indicated, nor does it purport to project the Company's financial position or
results of operations at any future date or for any future period. In addition,
the historical operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained by the Company for the

NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(A)      Purchase of certain of the Probable Acquisitions which the Company
         expects to complete utilizing $12,000 in borrowings under a credit
         facility established for acquisition purposes and $250 in available
         cash: Algona Distribution Center for $8,750, and the 12.9-acre
         land parcel located in Lake Forest for $3,500. 

(B)      Repayment of a $7,000 loan payable bearing interest at 8.25% which
         matured subsequent to March 31, 1997 using $5,000 of proceeds from the
         issuance of 270,270 shares of Class A Senior Cumulative Convertible
         Preferred Stock (the "Class A Preferred Stock") and $2,000 of 
         available cash.

(C)      Issuance of 270,270 shares of Class A Preferred Stock with a par value
         of $.01 per share pursuant to an agreement to issue up to 1,351,351
         shares executed by the Company on December 31, 1996. The preferred
         stock shares, which will be issued in up to three installments at a
         price of $18.50 per share, (increasing thereafter as specified in the
         related Prospectus Supplement), are redeemable by the Company in whole
         or part, five years from the date of issuance and are convertible into
         shares of Common Stock, at any time, at the option of the holders based
         on an initial conversion ratio of one to one, subject to adjustment
         under certain circumstances.

(D)      Purchase of the following Probable Acquisitions with proceeds from a
         proposed June 1997 offering of the Company's Common Stock under the
         Company's $250 million shelf registration statement declared effective
         April 11, 1997: San Diego Distribution Center for $17,100, and a
         controlling general partner interest in two partnerships that own the
         Terrace Gardens Apartments and Morning View Terrace Apartments at an
         agreed-upon value of $25,000. In connection with the Terrace Gardens
         Apartments and Morning View Terrace Apartments transaction, the Company
         will become the sole general partner in the two partnerships that own
         the properties subject to approximately $19,100 of tax-exempt mortgage
         indebtedness. It is anticipated that the other partners will receive
         approximately 265,000 limited partnership units in such partnerships in
         exchange for their $5,900 minority equity interest. In connection with
         the $19,100 of tax-exempt mortgage indebtedness and the acquisition of
         a controlling interest in Terrace Gardens Apartments and Morning View
         Terrace Apartments, the Company will contribute approximately $1,250 to
         the partnerships which will be used to fund capitalizable financing
         costs, fees and transaction costs.

         Of the Probable Acquisitions only the Terrace Gardens Apartments and
         Morning View Terrace Apartments were previously operated as rental
         properties. Accordingly, the accompanying pro forma condensed
         consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
         1996 and the quarter ended March 31, 1997 do not reflect any historical
         revenues and expenses for the Algona Distribution Center, the San Diego
         Distribution Center or the Lake Forest land parcel.

         underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses
         resulting in net proceeds totaling $29,772. Proceeds from this common
         stock issuance will be used to complete the purchase of the Probable
         Acquisitions and to repay borrowings under the acquisition facility.

         for the period prior to their acquisition by the Company (adjusted to

                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses of Terrace Gardens Apartments and Morning View Terrace Apartments for
the year ended December 31, 1996. The statement is the responsibility of
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in a Form 8-K filing) as described in Note 2 to the statement and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Terrace
Gardens Apartments and Morning View Terrace Apartments.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material

          Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                  Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 (Unaudited)




1. ORGANIZATION

Terrace Gardens Apartments and Morning View Terrace Apartments (the
"Properties") contain 225 and 325 active senior apartments, respectively,
located in the city of Escondido, California. Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. has
entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling general partner interest in
the two partnerships that own the Properties.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses presents the operations
of the Properties for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited) and has been prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in a Form 8-K filing).

Certain expenses that are dependent on the particular property owner and the
cost basis of the Properties have been excluded from the statement. The excluded
expenses consist primarily of depreciation, interest and loan fee amortization.
Consequently, the revenues in excess of certain expenses as presented in the
combined statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Properties' revenues and expenses of the Properties nor is it intended to be 
comparable to the proposed future operations of the Properties.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Rental income from residential apartment leases is recognized when due from
tenants. Apartments are subject to lease agreements with terms of one year or
less.

    Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (continued)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalization Policy

Recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major
replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful
lives.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined statement. Actual results could
differ from these estimates in the near term.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES

The Properties are subject to an agreement with Land Trek, a property management
company, to maintain and manage the operations of the Properties. Management
fees are based on 3.25% of total income, as defined, from the Properties. The
agreements with Land Trek will terminate upon the Company's acquisition of the
Properties.

5. RELATED PARTIES

In connection with the management of the Properties, Mr. Don R. Short, the
current managing general partner of the partnerships that own the Properties,
received management fees totaling approximately $37,000 (1.75% of total income)
from Morning View Terrace Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
$9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
