              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
         ----------------------

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust ("PREIT" or the "Company") prepared
the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and the notes thereto included in PREIT's latest annual report on
Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position of the Company and the consolidated results of its operations and its
cash flows, have been included. The results of operations for such interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

PREIT is organized as a Pennsylvania business trust, and is a fully integrated
self-administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust.

The Company's interest in its properties is held through PREIT Associates, L.P.
(the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, and as of September 30, 2001, held an 89.3% interest in
the Operating Partnership.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
period presentation.

2.       INVESTMENT IN PREIT-RUBIN, INC.:
         --------------------------------

In January 2001, PREIT Services, LLC ("Services") was created to develop, manage
and lease properties wholly-owned by the Company. Services is wholly-owned by
the Operating Partnership and is consolidated by the Company. As such, Services
does not charge management, development or leasing fees to the Company's
wholly-owned properties.

On January 1, 2001, the Company acquired the remaining 5% minority interest in
PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. ("PRI"), representing all of the voting common stock of PRI,
in exchange for Company shares valued at approximately $0.5 million. As of
December 31, 2000, the Company held a 95% economic interest in PRI through its
ownership of 95% of PRI's stock, which represented all of PRI's non-voting
stock.

Effective January 1, 2001, PRI is also wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership
and is consolidated by the Company. PRI was also converted to a taxable REIT
subsidiary as defined by federal tax laws. PRI is now capable of offering an
expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing the Company's
continued qualification as a real estate investment trust. Prior to January 1,
2001, PRI was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

PRI is responsible for various activities, including management, leasing and
real estate development for certain properties in which the Company is a joint
venture partner, for properties owned by third parties and, prior to January 1,
2001, for certain of PREIT's properties. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, PREIT's properties paid management fees to PRI of $0.2
million and $0.6 million, respectively, and leasing and development fees to PRI
of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Effective January 1, 2001, PREIT
no longer pays these fees to PRI.



Previously, leasing and development fees paid by PREIT's properties to PRI were
capitalized and amortized to expense in accordance with PREIT's normal
accounting policies. Intercompany profits earned by PRI related to such
activities were deferred and amortized to income over the same periods as such
expenses were amortized.

PRI also provides management, leasing and development services for partnerships
and other ventures in which certain officers of PREIT and PRI have either direct
or indirect ownership interests. Total revenues earned by PRI for such services
were $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000.

Summarized unaudited financial information for PRI as of and for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 is as follows:

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic Earnings Per Share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share is based on the

6.       CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
         ----------------------

Cash paid for interest was $17.8 million (net of capitalized interest of $2.3
million) and $16.0 million (net of capitalized interest of $2.7 million) for the
nine-months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Significant non-cash transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
consisted of the following:

         The Company issued OP units valued at $6.0 million in connection with
         the acquisition of land on which the Christiana Power Center (Phase I)
         is built.

         The Company issued OP units valued at $3.2 million in connection with
         the earnout provisions of the Contribution Agreement (see Note 8).

7.       DISPOSITIONS:
         ------------

In January 2001, a partnership in which the Company owns a 50% interest sold an
undeveloped parcel of land adjacent to the Metroplex Shopping Center, which is
owned by the partnership, for approximately $7.6 million. The Company recorded a
nominal gain on the land sale.

In March 2001, the Company sold its interest in the Ingleside Center, located in
Thorndale, PA for $5.1 million. The Company's proportionate share of the gain on
the sale was approximately $1.8 million.

In May 2001, the Company sold its interest in a parcel of land located at the
Paxton Towne Centre in Harrisburg, PA for approximately $6.3 million, resulting
in a gain of $1.3 million.

In June 2001, the Company sold its interest in a parcel of land at the Florence
Commons Shopping Center in Florence, SC. The Company received cash at the
closing of approximately $1.3 million, and is entitled to receive a development
fee of $1.5 million for the construction of the store that will be built on the
site, for total proceeds from the transaction, upon completion of the
development, of $2.8 million. The Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million on the
transaction.

8.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
         ------------------------------

Environmental matters have arisen at certain properties in which PREIT has an
interest for which reserves have previously been established. No additional
material incremental cost is expected to be incurred on these properties.



As part of the acquisition of The Rubin Organization in 1997, PREIT entered into
a contribution agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") which includes a
provision for PREIT Associates, L.P. (PREIT's operating partnership) to issue up
to 800,000 additional Class A Operating Partnership ("OP") units over the
five-year period beginning October 1, 1997 and ending September 30, 2002
according to a formula based upon PREIT's adjusted funds from operations per
share during the five-year period. The Contribution Agreement establishes
"hurdle" and "target" levels for PREIT's adjusted funds from operations per
share during specified earn-out periods to determine whether, and to what
extent, the contingent OP units will be issued. As of September 30, 2001,
497,500 of the 800,000 OP units for the period covering October 1, 1997 to
December 31, 2000 had been earned. The issuance of these 497,500 OP units earned
resulted in an additional purchase price of approximately $8.9 million. PREIT
intends to account for the further issuance of contingent OP units as additional
purchase price when such additional amounts are determinable.

At September 30, 2001, PREIT had commitments of approximately $21.6 million to
complete current development and redevelopment projects. In connection with
certain development properties, PREIT Associates, L.P. may be required to issue
additional OP units upon the achievement of certain financial results.

9.       REFINANCING:
         ------------

In January 2001, the mortgage on Eagle's Nest Apartments in Coral Springs, FL,
was refinanced. The $15.0 million mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest
at the rate of 7.52% per annum.

In May 2001, the mortgage on Countrywood Apartments in Tampa, FL was refinanced.
The Company owns a 50% interest in Countrywood Apartments. The Company's share
of the net proceeds of $4.3 million from the refinancing was used to pay down
debt. The mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest at the rate of 6.81%
per annum.

10.      EQUITY OFFERING:
         ----------------

On July 11, 2001, the Company completed a public offering of 2.0 million shares
of beneficial interest at a price of $23.00 per share. At the completion of the
public offering the Company had approximately 15.7 million shares outstanding.
Net proceeds to the Company from the offering after deducting the underwriting
discount of $1.5 million and other expenses of the offering of approximately
$0.3 million were approximately $44.2 million, of which $20.7 million was used
to repay an existing construction loan and $16.5 million was used to pay
outstanding indebtedness under the Company's Credit Facility. The balance of the
proceeds was used to fund projects currently under development.

11.      SEGMENT INFORMATION:
         --------------------

PREIT has four reportable segments: (1) retail properties, (2) multifamily
properties, (3) development and other, and (4) corporate. The retail segment
includes the operation and management of 22 regional and community shopping
centers (12 wholly owned and 10 owned in joint venture form). The multifamily
segment includes the operation and management of 19 apartment communities (14
wholly owned and 5 owned in joint venture form). The development and other
segment includes the operation and management of 6 retail properties under
development (5 wholly owned and 1 owned in joint venture form) and 4 industrial
properties (all wholly owned). The corporate segment is responsible for cash and
investment management and certain other general support functions.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those PREIT uses for
its consolidated financial reporting, except that for segment reporting
purposes, PREIT uses the "proportionate-consolidation method" of accounting (a
non-GAAP measure) for joint venture properties instead of the equity method of
accounting. PREIT calculates the proportionate-consolidation method by applying
its percentage ownership interest to the historical financial statements of its
equity method investments.

The chief operating decision making group for the Company's retail, multifamily,
development and other and corporate segments is comprised of the Company's chief
executive officer, president and the lead executives of each segment. The
segments are managed separately because they each represent a specific property
type, as well as properties under development and corporate services.

12.      DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:
         ----------------------------------------------

Significant Accounting Policies: Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of derivative
financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. The Company
requires that hedging derivative instruments are effective in reducing interest
rate risk exposure. This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge
accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with the hedge of an
anticipated transaction. In those cases, hedge effectiveness criteria also
require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs. Instruments
that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the
inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an underlying
transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist,
all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with
changes in value included in net income each period until the instrument
matures. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet
the hedging criteria is marked-to-market each period with unrealized gains and
losses reported to earnings.

To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, the Company uses a
variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks
existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial instruments,
including most derivatives, long-term investments and long-term debt, standard
market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option
pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine
fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general
approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

Accounting Changes: Standards Implemented and Transition Adjustment
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133." Specifically, SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair
value adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income
depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for
accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.

As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard resulted in derivative
instruments reported on the balance sheet as liabilities of $0.6 million; and an
adjustment of $0.6 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss, which are
gains and losses not affecting retained earnings. The Company recorded
additional other comprehensive loss of $2.3 million and $3.7 million to
recognize the change in value during the three-month and nine-month periods
ending September 30, 2001.

Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of
interest rate changes. The Company limits these risks by following established
risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. For
interest rate exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements
between interest rates associated with the Company's leasing income and other
financial assets with interest rates on related debt, and manage the cost of
borrowing obligations.

The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial
institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in
conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are
designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained any material adverse effect on
its net income or financial position from the use of derivatives.

To manage interest rate risk, the Company may employ options, forwards, interest
rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying
exposure. The Company undertakes a variety of borrowings: from lines of credit,
to medium- and long-term financings. To reduce overall interest cost, the
Company uses interest rate instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to
convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, or even a
portion of its fixed-rate debt to variable rate. Interest rate differentials
that arise under these swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over
the life of the contracts. The resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower
than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics
was issued directly.



The Company may employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying
anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net
income in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is
otherwise terminated.

As of September 30, 2001, $4.3 million in deferred losses were included in
accumulated other comprehensive income/loss, a shareholders' equity account.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the
Company's derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2001. The notional
value provides an indication of the extent of the Company's involvement in these
instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest
rate or market risks.




   Hedge Type               Notional Value     Interest Rate    Maturity         Fair Value
   -----------              --------------     -------------    --------         ----------
                                                                   
   1.)  Swap - Cash Flow    $20.0 million          6.02%         12/15/03      ($1.1 million)
   2.)  Swap - Cash Flow    $55.0 million          6.00%         12/15/03      ($3.2 million)


On September 30, 2001, the derivative instruments were reported at their fair
value as a liability of $4.3 million.

Interest rate hedges that are designated as cash flow hedges hedge the future
cash outflows on debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to
fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow
hedges. The unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are
reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either
accumulated other comprehensive income or in earnings depending on the type of
hedging relationship. If the hedging transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the
offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other
comprehensive income/loss will be reclassified to earnings. This
reclassification is consistent with when the hedged items are also recognized in
earnings. Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify to
earnings approximately $2.6 million of the current balance held in accumulated
other comprehensive income/loss.

The Company may hedge its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 12 months. During the
forecasted period, unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Once the hedged transaction
takes place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings during the
same period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

13.      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         --------------------------------

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that
the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142, which is effective January 1, 2002,
changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to assessing
impairment on a fair-value-based test approach on an annual basis. The Company's
annual expense from the amortization of goodwill is $0.4 million. This
amortization will cease on December 31, 2001. PREIT has not yet quantified any
additional impact of SFAS No. 142 on its consolidated financial statements.

14.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT
         ----------------

In October 2001, the construction loan for the Metroplex Shopping Center in
Plymouth Meeting, PA was refinanced with a mortgage payable in the amount of
$65.5 million. The Company owns 50% of the Metroplex Shopping Center. The
Company, along with its joint venture partner, was jointly and severally liable
for the construction loan, which was repaid from the mortgage proceeds. The
mortgage bears interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum and matures in 2011.

                    PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company owns interests in 22 shopping centers containing an aggregate of
approximately 10.7 million square feet, 19 multifamily properties containing
7,242 units and four industrial properties with an aggregate of approximately
300,000 square feet. The Company also owns interests in six shopping centers
currently under development, which are expected to contain an aggregate of
approximately 1.6 million square feet upon completion.

The Company also provides management, leasing and development services to 19
additional retail properties containing approximately 8.3 million square feet,
seven office buildings containing approximately 1.9 million square feet and two
additional multifamily properties with 137 units for affiliated and third-party
owners.

The Company has achieved significant growth since 1997 with the acquisition of
The Rubin Organization ("TRO") and the formation of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. ("PRI").
In the third quarter of 2001, the Company continued this trend with six retail
properties in its development pipeline, and same store net operating income
growth of 4.0% and 5.4% in the retail and multifamily sectors, respectively,
excluding the impact of lease termination fees in the retail sector.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company is actively involved in pursuing and evaluating a number of
individual property and portfolio acquisition opportunities. In addition, the
Company has stated that a key strategic goal is to obtain managerial control of
all of its assets. In certain cases where existing joint venture assets are
managed by outside partners, PREIT is considering the possible acquisition of
these outside interests. In certain cases where that opportunity does not exist,
PREIT is considering the disposition of its interests. There can be no assurance
that PREIT will consummate any such acquisition or disposition.

In January 2001, a partnership in which the Company owns a 50% interest sold an
undeveloped parcel of land adjacent to the Metroplex Shopping Center, which is
owned by the partnership, for approximately $7.6 million. The Company recorded a
nominal gain on the land sale.

In March 2001, the Company sold its interest in the Ingleside Center, located in
Thorndale, PA for $5.1 million. The Company's proportionate share of the gain on
the sale of the property was approximately $1.8 million.

In May 2001, the Company sold a parcel of land at Paxton Towne Centre in
Harrisburg, PA for $6.3 million resulting in a gain of $1.3 million.

In June 2001, the Company sold a parcel of land at its Florence Commons Shopping
Center in Florence, SC. The Company received cash at the closing of
approximately $1.3 million, and is entitled to receive a development fee of $1.5
million for the construction of the store that will be built on the site, for
total proceeds expected from the transaction, upon completion of the
development, of $2.8 million. The Company recorded a loss on this transaction of
$1.0 million.



Development, Expansions and Renovations

PREIT is involved in a number of development and redevelopment projects that may
require equity funding by PREIT or third-party debt or equity financing. In each
case, PREIT will evaluate the financing opportunities available to it at the
time a project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a
joint venture partner, PREIT's flexibility in funding the project may be
governed by the joint venture agreement and the Company's Credit Facility
covenants which limit the use of borrowed funds in joint venture projects.

In June 2001, the Company entered into agreements to take over the management
and leasing operations of two retail properties and one apartment complex. On
July 15, 2001, the Company began managing the 837,000 square-foot Harrisburg
East Mall, located in Harrisburg, PA and owned by the Prudential Insurance
Company of America. Starting on January 1, 2002, the Company will also manage
the 250,000 square foot Home Depot Plaza located in Clifton Heights, PA. In
addition, beginning on January 1, 2002, the Company will manage and lease a
233-unit apartment complex located in West Chester, PA, which is owned by a
partnership between the Company and another entity.

Equity Offering

On July 11, 2001, The Company issued, through a public offering, 2.0 million
shares of beneficial interest at a price of $23.00 per share. The sole
underwriter of the offering was Lehman Brothers. Net proceeds from the offering
after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.5 million and other expenses of
the offering of approximately $0.3 million were approximately $44.2 million.
Proceeds from the offering of $20.7 million were used to repay an existing
construction loan and $16.5 million of outstanding indebtedness under the
Company's Credit Facility (see below). The balance of the proceeds was used to
fund projects currently under development.

The Credit Facility

The Company's operating partnership has entered into a $250 million Credit
Facility consisting of a $175 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving
Facility") and a $75 million construction facility (the "Construction Facility")
with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank National Association. The
obligations of the Company's operating partnership under the Credit Facility are
secured by a pool of ten properties and have been guaranteed by the Company.

The Credit Facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus margins ranging from 1.3% to 1.8%, depending on the ratio of the Company's
consolidated liabilities to gross asset value (the "Leverage Ratio"), each as
determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily
found in facilities of this type, as well as requirements that the Company
maintain, on a consolidated basis: (i) a maximum Leverage Ratio of 65%; (ii) a
maximum Borrowing Base Value (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 70% under
the Revolving Facility; (iii) a minimum weighted average collateral pool
property occupancy of 85%; (iv) minimum tangible net worth of $229 million plus
75% of cumulative net proceeds from the sale of equity securities; (v) minimum
ratios of EBITDA to Debt Service and Interest expense (as defined in the Credit
Facility) of 1.40:1 and 1.75:1, respectively, at September 30, 2001; (vi)
maximum floating rate debt of $250 million; and (vii) maximum commitments for
properties under development not in excess of 25% of Gross Asset Value (as
defined in the Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2001, the Company was in
compliance with all debt covenants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its available working capital and net cash provided by operations. The
Company believes that its net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to
allow the Company to make any distributions necessary to enable the Company to
continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The Company also believes that the foregoing sources of liquidity will
be sufficient to fund its short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future,
including capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

The Company expects to meet certain long-term capital requirements such as
property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and
other non-recurring capital improvements through long-term secured and unsecured
indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities. The Company also
expects to use the remaining funds available under the Revolving Facility and
the Construction Facility to fund acquisitions, development activities and
capital improvements on an interim basis.



At September 30, 2001, the Company had $88.0 million of outstanding borrowings
against its Revolving Facility and had pledged $1.1 million under the Revolving
Facility as collateral for several letters of credit. The proceeds of the
borrowings were used to fund acquisitions from 1997 to 2000 and several
development projects. Of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility of
approximately $85.9 million, as of September 30, 2001, the Company's loan
covenant restrictions allowed the Company to borrow approximately an additional
$23.2 million based on the existing property collateral pool.

Commitments

At September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $21.6 million committed to
complete current development and redevelopment projects, which is expected to be
financed through the Construction Facility. In connection with certain
development properties, including those development properties acquired as part
of the Company's acquisition of The Rubin Organization, the Company may be
required to issue additional units of limited partner interest in its operating
partnership ("OP Units") upon the achievement of certain financial results.

Interest Rate Protection

In order to reduce exposure to variable interest rates, the Company has entered
into interest rate swap agreements as follows:

   Notional                Fixed Interest Rate       Maturity
   Amount                  vs. 30-day LIBOR          Date
   ------                  ----------------          -----
   $20.0 million           6.02%                     December 2003
   $55.0 million           6.00%                     December 2003

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Net income decreased by $2.1 million to $4.1 million ($0.27 per share) for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $6.2 million ($0.46 per share)
for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

Revenues increased by $3.8 million or 16% to $27.5 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2001 from $23.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
Gross revenues from real estate increased to $24.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001 from $23.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
This increase resulted from a $1.1 million increase in base rents, a $0.1
million increase in percentage rents and a $0.4 million increase in expense
reimbursements. Base rents increased due to a $0.5 million increase in retail
rents, resulting from two properties under development in 2000 now placed in
service, and higher rents due to new and renewal leases at higher rates in 2001.
These positive influences are offset by the sale of two retail properties that
were sold in the third quarter of 2000. Base rents also increased due to a $0.6
million increase in multifamily rents, resulting from rental rate increases and
higher occupancy rates. Percentage rents increased due to higher tenant sales
levels. Expense reimbursements increased due to two properties under development
in 2000 now placed in service, increased property operating expenses and the
charge back of 2000 renovation costs over 10 years at Dartmouth Mall. PRI's
revenue was $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. This entire
amount represents an increase in revenues in 2001 because PRI was not
consolidated in 2000. Interest and other income decreased by $0.3 million
because interest income on a loan with PRI is eliminated in 2001 due to the
consolidation of PRI effective January 1, 2001.

Property operating expenses increased by $0.2 million or 3% to $8.2 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $8.0 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. Payroll expense increased $0.2 million. Real estate and
other taxes increased by $0.2 million as two properties under development in
2000 were placed in service and slightly higher tax rates for properties owned
during both periods, partially offset by the sale of two properties in 2000.
Utilities decreased by $0.1 million. Other operating expenses decreased by $0.1
million due to decreased repairs and maintenance expenses.


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.9 million to $4.5 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $3.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense for retail properties
increased by $0.5 million due to $0.2 million from two properties under
development in 2000 now placed in service, and $0.3 million from a higher asset
base, of which $0.2 million is attributable to the 2000 renovation at Dartmouth
Mall. Depreciation and amortization expense for multifamily properties increased
by $0.4 million due to a higher asset base for properties owned during both
periods.

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million to $5.6 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $0.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. The primary reason for the increase is the consolidation of
PRI in 2001, which accounted for $3.9 million of the increase. General and
administrative expenses also increased primarily due to a $0.3 million increase
in payroll and benefits expenses, as well as minor increases in several other
expense categories totaling $0.5 million in the aggregate.

Interest expense was unchanged at $5.9 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2001 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Retail mortgage
interest decreased by $0.1 million and multifamily mortgage interest decreased
by $0.1 million both due to expected amortization of mortgage balances, offset
primarily by an increase in bank loan interest expense of $0.2 million because
development assets were placed into service.

Equity in loss of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. was $1.6 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. There was no corresponding amount in 2001 due to the
consolidation of PRI in 2001.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $0.6 million to
$1.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $1.9 million in the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily due to increased
interest and bad debt expenses.

There were no sales of interests in real estate in the third quarter of 2001.
The Valley View Shopping Center was sold in the third quarter of 2000 resulting
in a gain of $1.4 million. The Forestville Shopping Center was also sold in the
third quarter of 2000 with no impact on earnings because a loss of $0.3 million
had previously been reserved.

Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Net income decreased by $14.5 million to $13.1 million ($0.92 per share) for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $27.6 million ($2.07
per share) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.

Revenues increased by $6.5 million or 9% to $82.1 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2001 from $75.6 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000. Gross revenues from real estate increased by $0.2
million to $74.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from
$74.5 million in 2000. This increase is due to a $3.2 million increase in base
rents, a $0.2 million increase in percentage rents, a $1.2 million increase in
expense reimbursements, and a $0.2 million increase in other revenues.
Offsetting this increase is a $4.6 million decrease in lease termination fees
from $5.7 million in 2000 to $1.1 million in 2001. Lease termination fees in
2000 included a non-recurring $4.0 million fee received in connection with the
sale of the CVS Warehouse and Distribution Center. Base rents increased due to a
$2.1 million increase in retail rents, resulting from two properties under
development in 2000 now placed in service, and higher rents due to new and
renewal leases at higher rates in 2001. These positive influences are offset by
the sale of two retail properties that were sold in the third quarter of 2000.
Base rents also increased due to a $1.4 million increase in multifamily rents,
resulting from rental rate increases and higher occupancy rates. Industrial
rents decreased $0.3 million due to the sale of the CVS Warehouse and
Distribution Center in Alexandria, Va in April 2000. Percentage rents increased
due to higher tenant sales levels. Expense reimbursements increased due to two
properties under development in 2000 now placed in service, increased property
operating expenses and the charge back of 2000 renovation costs over 10 years at
Dartmouth Mall. This is partially offset by the sale of two properties in 2000.
Other revenues increased due to increased miscellaneous income from the
multifamily properties. PRI's revenue was $7.0 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2001. This entire amount represents an increase in revenues
in 2001 because PRI was not consolidated in 2000. Interest and other income
decreased $0.7 million because interest income on a loan with PRI is eliminated
in 2001 due to the consolidation of PRI effective January 1, 2001.


Property operating expenses increased by $0.9 million or 4% to $24.6 million for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from $23.7 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. Payroll expense increased $0.3
million due to annual salary increases. Real estate and other taxes increased by
$0.4 million due to two properties under development in 2000 now placed in
service and slightly higher tax rates for properties owned during both periods,
partially offset by the sale of two properties in 2000. Utilities increased by
$0.1 million due to higher utility rates. Other operating expenses increased by
$0.1 million due to increased repairs and maintenance expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.5 million to $13.2 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from $10.7 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization
expense for retail properties increased by $1.7 million. Of that amount, $0.8
million was due to two properties under development in 2000 now placed in
service, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million due to the sale of two
properties in 2000. Retail depreciation increased by $1.1 million for properties
owned during both periods primarily because of the 2000 renovation at Dartmouth
Mall. Depreciation and amortization expense for multifamily properties increased
by $0.8 million due to a higher asset base for properties owned during both
periods.

General and administrative expenses increased by $13.0 million to $16.4 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from $3.4 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The primary reason for the increase
is the consolidation of PRI in 2001, which accounted for $11.3 million of the
increase. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to a
$1.4 million increase in payroll and benefits expenses as well as minor
increases in several other expense categories totaling $0.3 million in the
aggregate.

Interest expense increased by $1.6 million to $19.2 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2001 from $17.6 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000. Retail mortgage interest increased by $1.1 million due
to properties under development in 2000 now placed in service. Multifamily
mortgage interest decreased by $0.2 million due to expected amortization of
mortgage balances. Bank loan interest expense increased by $0.7 million due to a
larger amount outstanding under the Credit Facility and due to development
assets being placed into service

Equity in loss of PRI was $5.0 million in the first nine-months of 2000. There
was no corresponding amount in the 2001 period due to the consolidation of PRI
in 2001.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $1.1 million to
$4.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from $5.3 million
in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily
due to increased interest expense, utility costs and bad debt expenses.

Gains on sales of interests in real estate were $2.1 million and $10.3 million,
respectively, in the first nine-months of 2001 and 2000 resulting from the sales
of the Company's interests in Ingleside Center and land parcels at Florence
Commons Shopping Center and Paxton Towne Centre in 2001, and Park Plaza, the CVS
Warehouse and Distribution Center, Valley View Shopping Center and Forestville
Shopping Center in 2000.

Same Store Properties

Retail sector operating income, excluding the impact of lease termination fees
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 for the properties
owned since January 1, 2000 (the "Same Store Properties"), increased by $0.4
million and $1.8 million or 4.0% and 5.3% over corresponding periods in 2000 due
to new and renewal leases at higher rates, higher occupancy and higher
percentage rents in the 2001 period as compared to the 2000 period. Multifamily
sector same store growth was approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million or 5.4%
and 2.6% for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 due to
revenue increases of 5.6% and 4.5% which were partially offset by increases in
real estate taxes, utilities, turnover expenses, repairs and maintenance and
insurance costs.


Set forth below is a schedule comparing the net operating income (excluding the
impact of lease termination fees) for the Same Store Properties for the three
and nine-months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the three and
nine-months ended September 30, 2000.

Cash Flows

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, PREIT generated $25.7
million in cash flow from operating activities. Investing activities during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 used cash of $15.2 million resulting
from (i) $20.1 million in investments in property under development, (ii) $6.2
million in investments in wholly-owned real estate assets, (iii) $0.9 million in
investments in joint ventures and partnerships, offset by (iv) cash proceeds
from the sale of a partnership interest of $1.1 million, (v) cash proceeds from
sale of interest in wholly-owned real estate of $1.8 million, (vi) cash received
in connection with the consolidation of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. of $1.6 million, and
(vii) distributions from partnerships in excess of equity in income of $7.6
million. Financing activities used cash of $9.5 million and included (i) a
