                Allison Price, who is the wife of Robert Price, is the
                Co-Trustee with Robert Price for each of the Robert & Allison
                Price Trust, the Robert & Allison Price Charitable Remainder
                Trust and a trust established for the benefit of their three
                minor children. Under the terms of these trusts, the Co-Trustees
                must act jointly to vote or dispose of shares of stock owned by
                such trusts.

                of his three minor children, acquired 86,520 shares of Price
                Enterprises common stock through the Exchange Offer. On December
                21, 1994, Robert Price, as Custodian for his Minor Children

                Offer.

                consummation of the Exchange Offer. Such sale reduced the number
                of outstanding shares of Price Enterprises common stock from
                27,000,000 to 23,224,028 and correspondingly increased Robert
                Price's percentage ownership of Price Enterprises common stock
