NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January 31, 1995



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction
with the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1994, together with the portions of the company's 1994 Annual Report to
shareholders incorporated therein by reference.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments only) have been made
which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented herein.


NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Primary net income per share is based upon the average number of shares
outstanding during the periods, increased for the assumed exercise of vested,
in-the-money stock options.

NOTE C - LITIGATION

     The company, because of the nature of its business, is sometimes subject to
various threatened or filed legal claims, including certain environmental
actions.  While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome
of these matters, in the opinion of management, none of these actions,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the company's
results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial position.

NOTE D - COMMITMENTS

     BRE has entered into a development and option agreement with Picerne
Development Corporation (Picerne), an Arizona corporation, which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Picerne Investment Corporation, a privately held apartment
developer headquartered in Rhode Island. Picerne is developing Arcadia Cove, a
432-unit apartment complex in Phoenix, Arizona. The development is being
financed through a $23,800,000 construction loan made by Wells Fargo Bank. BRE
has guaranteed repayment of the loan and has the right to acquire the property
at or before completion of the construction, which is currently expected in May,
1996. In the meantime, BRE is making monthly option payments to Picerne of
$60,000 (February 1995- July 1995) and $134,000 (August 1995- March 1996). BRE's
purchase commitment to Picerne is $22,396,000, plus the option payments through
the date of purchase.

NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


     On February 27, 1995, the Directors declared a dividend of $.63 per share,
payable March 23, 1995 to shareholders of record March 10, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The company's cash and short-term investments totaled $8,138,000 at January 31,
1995, down from $28,938,000 at July 31, 1994.

In August 1994, BRE entered into an agreement to acquire seven garden apartment
communities, aggregating 1,301 units, in Tucson, Arizona from the Schomac Group,
a privately held apartment and self-storage developer headquartered in Tucson
and not affiliated with BRE.  The six properties purchased during the six months
ended January 31, 1995 were as follows:

(1)     The cash investment in Hacienda del Rio included $3,233,000 in proceeds
from a tax-deferred exchange for Marymoor Warehouse, in Redmond, Washington.
</TABLE>

The mortgages on Fountain Plaza and Hacienda del Rio are fully amortizing, with
final maturities in 2028. The three other mortgages assumed mature in the year
2000, with aggregate balloon payments of $13,939,000 due at that time.
Depending on market conditions at maturity, the company may choose, among other
things, to renegotiate the terms with the existing lenders, refinance the
property with other lenders or sell assets to repay the balloon amounts.

In October 1994, concurrent with the purchase of these apartment communities,
BRE also funded a $1,500,000, one-year second mortgage loan, bearing interest at
10%, secured by the Mission Heights Apartments in Tucson, Arizona, to entities
affiliated with the seller.  Provided that no event of default has occurred, the
borrower may request a one-year extension, during which the interest rate rises
to 11%, and a second one-year extension, during which the interest rate rises to
12%.

During the six months ended January 31, 1995, construction of a 116-unit
expansion of the Scottsdale Cove Apartments in Scottsdale, Arizona was
completed. The total cost of the expansion was $6,138,000, $1,687,000 of which
was invested during the six months ended January 31, 1995.

As discussed further in Results of  Operations, BRE has increased occupancy at
both The Hub and El Camino shopping centers. Space preparation and  improvements
for the new tenants cost $1,572,000 at The Hub and $319,000 at El Camino. In
addition, BRE invested $749,000 for a new tenant at 515 Ellis, which property is
now under contract for sale at a reportable gain of approximately $1,055,000.

Cash commitments at January 31, 1995 include the March 23, 1995 dividend payment
of approximately $6,883,000.

As discussed in Note D, BRE plans to acquire Arcadia Cove, a 432-unit apartment
community currently under development.

In addition to cash and short-term investments, the company has available bank
lines of credit totaling $30,000,000.  There were no borrowings under those
lines of credit at January 31, 1995. Management believes that its liquidity and
financial resources are sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter and six months ended January 31, 1995 was $7,192,000
($.66 per share), and $12,649,000 ($1.16 per share), respectively, compared to
$5,632,000 ($.51 per share) and $10,624,000 ($.97 per share) for the same
periods last year. Included in the January 31, 1995 results were net gains on
sales of investments of $1,250,000 ($.11 per share) for both the quarter and six
months, compared to $153,000 ($.01 per share) for both the quarter and six
months last year.

Funds from operations totaled $7,897,000 and $15,139,000 for the quarter and six
months ended January 31, 1995, up 11% and 10% from the comparable periods last
year.  Funds from operations is defined as net income (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization.

Leasing has improved at The Hub Shopping Center, with the opening of 11 new
stores in the past several months.  Both leasing and occupancy at The Hub are
now 95%, up from 89% at July 31, 1994. New tenants include Trader Joe's, which
operates 62 specialty food markets, Old Navy (part of The Gap), Taco Bell,
Styles for Less and Country Harvest Buffet. At El Camino Shopping Center,
occupancy is 93%, up from 89% at July 31, 1994.  Soil stabilization and repairs
of structurally damaged buildings are underway following the January 17, 1994
Northridge earthquake.  The repairs are estimated to be completed by July 1995,
with most of the costs covered by earthquake insurance.  The net operating
income at both shopping centers improved during the six months ended January 31,
1995 over the comparable period last year, which included expenses for roof
replacements of $142,000 at The Hub and $100,000 at El Camino.  In accordance
with industry practices, commencing August 1, 1994, future roof replacements for
all properties will be capitalized and depreciated over the expected useful
life.  Roof repairs will continue to be expensed.

In the industrial segment of the portfolio, two properties are currently vacant
and being marketed to prospective tenants:  the 358,000 square


                                        7
<PAGE>

foot warehouse in Pomona, California and the 50,000 square foot Irvine Spectrum
building in Irvine, California. Preliminary sale negotiations are underway on
Pomona Warehouse.

At January 31, 1995, overall occupancy levels by class of property were as
follows:

          PROPERTY TYPE                           OVERALL OCCUPANCY
          ---------------------------------------------------------
          Apartment Communities                         96  %

          Shopping Centers, including partnerships      96

          Other                                         54
                                                        --
                WEIGHTED AVERAGE                        90  %
                                                        --
                                                        --

The weighted average occupancy is calculated by multiplying the occupancy for
each property by its square footage and dividing by the total square footage in
the portfolio.

REVENUE

Rental income, comprising approximately 96% of total revenue, rose 19% for the
quarter and 18% for the six months ended January 31, 1995 from the comparable
periods last year.  Apartments acquired since August 1, 1993 generated gross
rents of $3,579,000 and $5,879,000 for the quarter and six months, up from
$872,000 and $1,160,000 for the comparable periods last year. Apartments owned
for two or more years contributed $208,000 and $418,000, respectively, in higher
revenue (up 3%).

As part of a financial settlement received in July 1994 from the former tenant
at Pomona Warehouse, BRE recorded $258,000 of rent during the first quarter
ended October 31, 1994. No additional revenue will be recorded until the
property is leased.  Also during the first quarter ended October 31, 1994, the
tenant at Oak Creek I, who also occupies a portion of Oak Creek II, was
recapitalized, enabling it to pay BRE $175,000 of back rent and reimbursement
for other charges.

Revenues continue to be constrained by the two vacant commercial properties,
Pomona Warehouse and Irvine Spectrum. There can be no assurance that additional
vacancies will not occur.

EXPENSES

Operating expenses of equity investments increased 13% and 8% for the quarter
and six months ended January 31, 1995 from the year earlier periods, primarily
due to expenses on the new apartment acquisitions. On January 17, 1995, a
combination of heavy rains, high winds and debris resulted in the collapse of an
approximately 1,200 square foot section of the roof (out of a total 85,680
square feet) at 525 Almanor. The damage has been repaired, for a total estimated
cost of $375,000.  Most of this cost is expected to  be recovered through
property insurance. BRE has expensed $100,000 as the amount of the deductible
under its property insurance coverage.


                                        8
<PAGE>

The two vacant commercial properties, Pomona Warehouse and Irvine Spectrum, had
no expense for real estate taxes during either the quarter ended October 31,
1993 or October 31, 1994, because the former tenants had reimbursed the company
for the real estate taxes through December 31, 1994.  Starting January 1, 1995,
the annual cost for real estate taxes is estimated to be $164,000 (Pomona
Warehouse) and $33,000 (Irvine Spectrum).  In addition, BRE is paying
maintenance costs, such as security, landscaping and insurance.

Interest expense approximately doubled for the quarter and six months ended
January 31, 1995 from the comparable periods last year, reflecting the new
mortgage loans on Selby Ranch, Mira Mesa (Cimmaron, Hacienda and Westpark), and
the Schomac apartments.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter ended October 31, 1994
include $437,000 of legal costs paid to reach an out-of-court settlement with
Big V Supermarkets, Inc. and Somers Development Corporation regarding alleged
chemical contamination of the soil and ground water underlying the Baldwin Place
Shopping Center in Somers, New York. In addition to the legal costs which have
been expensed, BRE paid $207,000 as its share of the settlement.  The $207,000
is being carried in accounts receivable.  BRE is seeking to recover the
settlement amount as well as its legal costs from the insurance companies which
provided coverage to BRE at various times throughout BRE's 1974-1983 ownership
of the land underlying Baldwin Place.

On December 19, 1994, the company announced the retirement of Eugene P. Carver
as Chairman and as a Director. Director John McMahan was appointed interim
Chairman. Arthur G. von Thaden, BRE's Chief Executive Officer since the
company's founding in 1970, will replace Mr. McMahan as Chairman once a new
Chief Executive Officer is employed. Director L. Michael Foley is heading the
search committee , which has agreed to compensate an executive search firm an
amount equal to one-third of the successful candidate's estimated first year
cash compensation. The estimated fee is $100,000, of which $20,000 was paid
during the quarter ended January 31, 1995.

GAIN ON SALES

During the quarter and six months ended January 31, 1995, BRE recorded a gross
gain of $1,389,000 on the tax-deferred exchange of  Marymoor Warehouse in
Redmond, Washington. The proceeds were reinvested in Hacienda del Rio Apartments
in Tucson, Arizona. The net gain on the transaction was $1,250,000 ($.11 per
share), after 10% of the gross gain was credited against the prepaid advisory
fee to BankAmerica Corporation for termination of its  Advisory Agreement with
the company in September 1987. Originally $4,508,000, the prepaid advisory fee
had been reduced to $1,402,000 at January 31, 1995. The company has recorded in
its financial statements gains totaling $61,173,000 which have been deferred for
tax purposes since the company's 1970 inception through January 31, 1995.

The company has entered into an agreement to sell its light industrial property
located at 515 Ellis, in Mountain View, California. This sale is expected to
result in a reportable gain of approximately $1,055,000. In addition,
preliminary sale negotiations are underway on Pomona Warehouse, a currently
vacant light industrial property, located in Pomona, California. This sale (if
successful) is expected to result in a reportable loss, which will be more than
offset by the

reportable gains on Marymoor and 515 Ellis. The sales of 515 Ellis and Pomona
Warehouse are both intended for tax-deferred exchanges.


DIVIDENDS

The $.63 per share dividend declared for the quarter ended January 31, 1995, was
approximately 88% of funds from operations.

                                 AGREEMENT
                          FOR CONTINUING SERVICES



     THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONTINUING SERVICES ("Agreement") is made and
entered into this 19th day of December, 1994 by and between BRE
Properties, Inc. ("Company") and Arthur G. von Thaden ("Employee").  As
more fully set forth below, this Agreement is intended to memorialize
certain changes occurring with respect to Employee's employment
relationship with the Company and to clarify Employee's agreements with
the Company concerning his employment terms and compensation package.

                                 RECITALS

     Employee has for many years acted as the Chief Executive Officer
("CEO") of the Company pursuant to an employment agreement ("Employment
Agreement") dated August 22, 1988.  The Company's current Chairman of the
Board has decided to retire, and Employee is 62 years of age.  The
Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has now decided to begin a search
for a new CEO and to elevate Employee to the position of Chairman of the
Board at the time the new CEO is appointed.  The Board desires that
Employee remain the Company's CEO until his successor is appointed, at
which time Employee will become the Company's Chairman of the Board.  As
Chairman of the Board, Employee will continue to be employed as a full-
time corporate officer of the Company through December 31, 1995 and for
such extended periods thereafter as may be agreed to by Company and
Employee.

     During Employee's tenure as the Company's CEO, Employee has been
granted incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonqualified stock options
("NQSOs"), and restricted shares of the Company's stock ("Restricted
Shares").  Pursuant to this Agreement, the ability of Employee to exercise
his ISOs and NQSOs following the end of his employment will be clarified.
In addition, the vesting date for Employee's Restricted Shares will be
accelerated to December 31, 1995 should Employee remain employed with
Company through such date.

     NOW, THEREFORE, incorporating the above Recitals, Company and
Employee hereby agree as follows:

     (1)  In consideration for Employee's enthusiastic support during the
one-year transition period ending December 31, 1995, Employee will
continue to be employed by Company and to serve as the Company's CEO until
the Board has chosen a replacement.  At that time, Employee will become
the Company's Chairman of the Board and will continue to be employed by
the Company as a full-time corporate officer subject to the provisions of
the Employment Agreement until December 31, 1995, and for such extended
periods thereafter as may be agreed to by Company and Employee.

<PAGE>

     (2)  Upon the termination of Employee's employment with Company, all
compensation and benefits under the Employment Agreement will cease.  On
or before September 30, 1995, Company and Employee will determine whether
an extension of the Employment Agreement beyond December 31, 1995 will be
effected.  If so extended, Company and Employee will determine whether any
future extensions will be effected within 90 days before the termination
of the then current extension.

     (3)  Subject to all applicable fiduciary duties of the Company to its
shareholders, Company will use its best efforts to retain Employee as a
director of the Company for his current term.

     (4)  Should Employee's employment with Company terminate on or after
December 31, 1995 but before Employee reaches 65 years of age, such
termination will be treated as an "early retirement" for purposes of
determining Employee's rights with respect to any NQSOs and ISOs
outstanding at that time.  Pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) of Employee's NQSO
and ISO agreements under the Company's 1984 Option Plan, Company hereby
agrees that all NQSOs and ISOs of Employee will become fully vested upon
such early retirement and that Employee may exercise such options up to
and including the EARLIER of (i) the end of the applicable Option Period
(as defined and set forth in the applicable option agreement), and
(ii) three years from the date of early retirement.  For example, should
Employee's employment with Company terminate on December 31, 1995, NQSOs
and ISOs granted to Employee prior to December 31, 1988 would terminate
upon the expiration of their regular ten-year terms, while options granted
to employee on and after January 1, 1989 would expire on December 31,
1998.  Similar treatment will apply to all NQSOs and ISOs granted to
Employee under the Company's 1992 Option Plan.  Employee understands that
the exercise of ISOs after 3 months from the date of Employee's
termination of employment will NOT qualify the ISO for favorable tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.

     (5)  Pursuant to Section 6 of the Restricted Share agreements
covering the outstanding Restricted Shares held by Employee, Company
hereby agrees that all of Employee's Restricted Shares will fully vest in
Employee on December 31, 1995 should Employee remain employed with Company
through such date.

     (6)  As a full-time corporate officer of the Company through December
31, 1995, Employee will be entitled to continuing participation in the
Company's various benefit plans.  In particular, Employee's rights to
participate in the Company's tax-qualified Retirement Plan and Employee's
rights to accrue deferred compensation under his Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan shall remain in full force and effect through December 31,
1995.  Should Employee's employment terminate on or after December 31,
1995 (unless such employment is terminated for cause), Employee will be
entitled to a pro-rata share of incentive compensation generally
considered and awarded by Company during the fiscal year of Company in
which such termination of employment occurs.

                                    2.
<PAGE>

     (7)  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the terms of
the Employment Agreement and the terms of Employee's NQSO, ISO, and
Restricted Share agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

     (8)  Company and Employee have entered into this Agreement in good
faith and hereby agree to use their best efforts to fully implement this
Agreement in accordance with its terms and their mutual intent.  The
provisions of Sections 6 through 10 of the Employment Agreement (covering
arbitration, notices, etc.) are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by
reference.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Company and Employee have executed this Agreement
this 19th day of December, 1994.

                         COMPANY:       BRE PROPERTIES, INC.
