Note 1.  The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Bedford Property Investors Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland real estate
investment trust with investments primarily in industrial and suburban
office properties concentrated in the Western United States.  The
Company's Common Stock trades under the symbol "BED" on both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation
of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The unaudited
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal,
recurring nature. 

Per Share Data

Per share data are based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the year.  Stock options
issued under the Company's stock option plans are included in the
calculation of per share data  if, upon exercise, they would have a
dilutive effect.  The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes
conversion of the limited partnership units of Bedford Realty Partners,
L.P., if such conversions would have dilutive effects, as of the
beginning of the year. 

Effective December 15, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per share (FAS 128).  Earnings per
share data for previous periods have been restated to conform to FAS 128.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 (SFAS
130), Reporting Comprehensive Income.  SFAS 130 is effective with the
year-end 1998 financial statements; however, the total comprehensive
income is required in the financial statements for interim periods
beginning in 1998.  In June 1997, the FASB issued Financial Accounting
Standard No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of An Enterprise and Related
Information.  SFAS 131 is effective with the year-end 1998 financial
statements.  In February 1998, the FASB issued Financial Accounting
Standard No. 132, Employers Disclosures About Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits.  SFAS 132 is effective with the year-end 1998
financial statements.  Management believes that the adoption of these
statements will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

The Company internally manages all but 7 of its properties from its
regional offices in Lafayette, CA;  Tustin, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Lenexa, KS;
Denver, CO; Dallas, TX; and Seattle, WA.  For the 7 properties located
in markets not served by a regional office, the Company has subcontracted
on-site management to local firms.  All financial record-keeping is
centralized at the Company's corporate office in Lafayette, CA. 
Effective May 1, 1998 the regional office in Dallas, TX was closed and
on-site management for one additional property has been subcontracted to
a local firm.<PAGE>
Note 3.  Consolidated Partnership

In December 1996 the Company formed Bedford Realty Partners, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"), with the Company as the sole general partner,
for the purpose of acquiring real estate.  In exchange for contributing
a property into the Operating Partnership, the owners of the property
received limited partnership units ("OP Units").  A limited partner can
seek redemption of the OP Units at any time after 90 days.  The Company,
at its option, may redeem the OP Units by either (i) issuing common stock
at the rate of one share of common stock for each OP Unit, or (ii) paying
cash to a limited partner based on the average trading price of the
Company's common stock.  Each OP Unit is allocated partnership income and
cash flow at a rate equal to the dividend being paid by the Company on
a share of common stock.  Additional partnership income and cash flow is
allocated 99% to the Company and 1% to the limited partners.

This acquisition strategy is referred to as a "Down REIT" transaction;
as long as certain tax attributes are maintained, the income tax
consequences to a limited partner are generally deferred until such time
as the limited partner redeems their OP Units.

On December 17, 1996, the Company acquired a $3.6 million industrial
property located in Modesto, California utilizing the Operating
Partnership.  A director of the Company was a 9% owner of the property
and received 8,991 OP units in connection with the Down REIT transaction. 
This director did not participate in the approval of the acquisition. 
The sellers of the property received 108,495 OP Units.  In March 1997,
the Company redeemed 13,446 OP units for cash. 

Note 4.  Stock Options

In September 1995, the Company established a Management Stock Acquisition
program.  Under the program, options exercised by key members of
management within thirty days of the grant date may be exercised either
in cash or with a note payable to the Company.  Such note bears interest
at 7.5% or the Applicable Federal Rate as defined by the Internal Revenue
Service, whichever is higher.  The note is due in five years or within
ninety days from termination of employment, with interest payable
quarterly.  During 1996 and 1995, options for 155,000 shares of Common
Stock were exercised in exchange for notes payable to the Company.  The
notes bear interest at 7.5%.  The unpaid balance of the notes is
$1,063,000 and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Note 5.  Debt

Bank Loan Payable

In June 1997, the Company expanded its secured revolving credit facility
with Bank of America from $100 million to $150 million, maturing on June
1, 2000.  In September 1997, the credit facility was further expanded to
$175 million.  Under this facility, the Company can borrow up to $25
million on an unsecured basis.  The secured loans bear interest at a
floating rate equal to either the lender's published "reference rate" or
LIBOR plus 1.5%.  The interest rate of the unsecured loans is 25 basis
points higher than that of the secured loans.  The credit facility is
secured by mortgages on 32 properties (which properties collectively
accounted for approximately 39 % of the Company's Annualized Base Rent
and approximately 34% of the Company's total assets as of March 31,
1998), together with the rental proceeds from such properties.  The
credit facility contains various restrictive covenants including, among
other things, a covenant limiting quarterly dividends to 95% of average
Funds From Operations for the immediately preceding two fiscal quarters.

The Company is in the process of renegotiating its secured line of
credit, to reflect lower interest rates, to increase the unsecured
subline and to increase advanced rates based on loan to value ratios.

The daily weighted average amount owing to the bank was $18,226,000 and
$24,751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The weighted average interest rates in each of these
periods was 7.62%.  The effective interest rate at March 31, 1998 was
7.40%.


Mortgage Loans Payable

Mortgage loans payable at March 31, 1998 consist of the following (in
thousands):

   Floating rate note due December 15, 1999
     current rate of 8.75%                       $  1,817
   7.5% note due January 1, 2002                   24,584
   7.02% note due March 15, 2003                   25,000
   8.9% note due July 31, 2006                      8,787

                                                  $81,062

The mortgage loans are collaterized by 21 properties (which Properties
collectively accounted for approximately 31% of the Company's Annualized 
Base Rent and approximately 24% of the Company's total assets as of 
March 31, 1998).  

The following table presents scheduled principal payments on mortgage
loans as of March 31, 1998 (in thousands):

Results of Operations

The Company's operations consist of owning and operating industrial and
suburban office properties located primarily in the Western United
States.

<PAGE>
Increases in revenues, expenses, net income in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 when compared with the same period in 1997 were due
primarily to the acquisition, development and sale of operating
properties as follows:

                                                  3                297,000


Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended March
31, 1997

Income from Property Operations
Income from property operations (defined as rental income less rental
expenses) increased $4,238,000 or 75% in 1998 compared with 1997.  This
is due to an increase in rental income of $6,305,000 partially offset by
an increase in rental expenses (which include operating expenses, real
estate taxes and depreciation and amortization) of $2,067,000.

This increase in rental income and expenses is primarily attributable to
the acquisition of real estate investments.  This acquisition activity
increased rental income and rental expenses by $7,114,000 and $2,404,000,
respectively.  This was partially offset by the sale of two office
properties in July 1997 and one retail property in October 1997 which
generated a reduction in rental income and rental expenses of $1,252,000
and $558,000 respectively.

Expenses
Interest expense, which includes amortization of loan fees, increased
$83,000 or 5% in 1998 compared with 1997.  The increase is attributable
to the Company's higher level of borrowings to finance the acquisition
of properties in 1998, and higher financing costs incurred in connection
with the credit facility and mortgage loans.  The amortization of loan
fees was $253,000 and $183,000 in the first  quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  General and administrative expenses increased $296,000 or
55% in 1998 compared with 1997, primarily the result of the Company's
growth in assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company completed the sale of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at $17
3/8 per share in February 1997 and 7,245,000 shares of common stock at
$19 5/8 per share in November 1997.  Net cash proceeds from these
offerings were used to pay off the outstanding borrowings under the
Company's credit facility.  The facility was amended and expanded to $150
million in June 1997.  It was further expanded to $175 million in
September 1997.  Under this facility, the Company can borrow up to $25
million on an unsecured basis.  The secured loans bear interest at a rate
of LIBOR plus 1.50% and the unsecured loans bear interest at LIBOR plus
1.75%.  The facility matures on July 1, 2000.  The Company is in the
process of renegotiating its secured line of credit, to reflect lower
interest rates, to increase the unsecured subline and to increase
advanced rates based on loan to value ratios.  At April 30, 1998, the
Company was in compliance with the covenants and requirements of its
revolving credit facility which has an outstanding balance of
$62,860,000. 


The Company anticipates that the cash flow generated by its real estate
investments and funds available under the above credit facility will be
sufficient to meet its short-term liquidity requirements.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's operating
activities provided cash flow of $7,347,000.  Investing activities
utilized cash of $68,474,000 for real estate acquisitions.  Financing
activities provided net cash flow of  $60,836,000 consisting of the
proceeds from bank borrowings and mortgage loans of $84,604,000 and net
proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $185,000 offset by
repayment of bank borrowings and mortgage loans of $17,150,000 and
payment of dividends of $6,803,000.

The Company expects to fund the cost of acquisitions, capital
expenditures, costs associated with lease renewals and reletting of
space, repayment of indebtedness, and development of properties from (i)
cash flow from operations, (ii) borrowings under the credit facility and,
if available, other indebtedness (which may include indebtedness assumed
in acquisitions), (iii) the sale of real estate investments, and (iv) the
sale of equity securities and, possibly, the issuance of equity
securities in connection with acquisitions.

The ability to obtain mortgage loans on income producing property is
dependent upon the ability to attract and retain tenants and the
economics of the various markets in which the properties are located, as
well as the willingness of mortgage-lending institutions to make loans
secured by real property.  The ability to sell real estate investments
is partially dependent upon the ability of purchasers to obtain financing
at commercially reasonable rates.

Potential Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

At the present time, borrowings under the Company's credit facility bear
interest at a floating rate.  The Company anticipates that its results
from operations may be impacted negatively by future increases in
interest rates and substantial additional borrowings to finance
additional property acquisitions.

While the Company has historically been successful in renewing and
reletting space, the Company will be subject to the risk that certain
leases expiring in 1998 may not be renewed or the terms of renewal may
be less favorable to the Company than current lease terms.  The Company
expects to incur costs in making improvements or repairs to its portfolio
of properties required by new or renewing tenants and expects to incur
expenses associated with brokerage commissions payable in connection with
the reletting of space.  

Many other factors affect the Company's actual financial performance and
may cause the Company's future results to be markedly outside of the
Company's current expectations.

Inflation

Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating
expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs
and operating expenses resulting from inflation.  Inflation, however,
could result in an increase in the Company's borrowing costs.

Dividends

Common stock dividends declared for the first  quarter of 1998 were $0.30
per share.  Distributions declared for the first quarter of 1998 were
$0.30 per OP Unit.  Consistent with the Company's policy, dividends and
distributions were paid in the quarter after they were declared. 

Government Regulations

The Company's properties are subject to various federal, state and local
regulatory requirements such as local building codes and other similar
regulations.  The Company believes its properties are currently in
substantial compliance with 


all applicable regulatory requirements, although expenditures at its
properties may be required to comply with changes in these laws.  No
material expenditures are contemplated at this time in order to comply
with any such laws or regulations.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations,
an owner or operator of real estate is liable for  the costs of removal
or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on,
above, under, or in such property.  Such laws often impose such liability
without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.  The costs of such
removal or remediation could be substantial. 

Additionally, the presence of such substances or the failure to properly
remediate such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to
borrow using such real estate as collateral.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects
with all federal, state and local laws regarding hazardous or toxic
substances, and the Company has not been notified by any governmental
authority of any non-compliance or other claim in connection with any of
its present or former properties.  The Company does not anticipate that
compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection
regulations will have any material adverse impact on the financial
position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Financial Condition

Management considers Funds From Operations (FFO) to be one measure of the
performance of an equity REIT.  FFO during the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $9,541,000 and $4,806,000, respectively. 
Funds From Operations is used by financial analysts in evaluating REITs
and can be one measure of a REIT's ability to make cash distributions. 
Presentation of this information provides the reader with an additional
measure to compare the performance of REITs.  Funds From Operations
generally is defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles), excluding gains from debt restructurings
and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Funds
From Operations was computed by the Company in accordance with this
definition.  The Company's computation of Funds From Operations may,
however, differ from the methodology for calculating Funds From
Operations utilized by other equity REIT's and, therefore, may not be
comparable to such other REIT's.  Funds From Operations does not
represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles; it is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity.
