                        WELLINGTON PROPERTIES TRUST
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         For the period January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998
                              (Unaudited)

NOTE A - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Wellington Properties Trust (Trust) is a real estate investment trust organized
in the state of Maryland.  It was formed on March 15, 1994 to acquire, develop,
own and operate investment real estate.  The Trust's year end is December 31.
During the quarter covered by this report, the Trust owned a 72 unit apartment
complex in Schofield, Wisconsin acquired on January 5, 1996 ("Lake Pointe") and
a property in Madison, Wisconsin with 304 apartments ("Maple Grove")
(collectively the "Properties").  (The Trust has one contract pending to
purchase 156 units in Des Moines, Iowa.  The closing is expected
to occur in the last quarter of  1998.)  It is the intention of the Trust to 
continue to seek well located properties for future acquistions.

Additionally the Company, through its operating partnership, has entered into
contribution agreements with respect to 31 properties with a purchase price of
approximately $190 million.  The Company has also arranged a credit facility
with BT Alex Brown to finance the acquisitions.  The Company has formed an 
operating partnership to acquire the 31 properties and issue operating 
partnership units, which units are, upon certain circumstances, convertible
into common stock of the Company. The portfolio has been identified and is
described in the Proxy statement dated November 6, 1998.

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the accompanying financial statements follows:

1.   Rental Property

Rental property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.  The Properties use a 40-year estimated life for buildings
and a ten-year estimated life for appliances and equipment.  Expenditures for
ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred and
significant renovations and improvements that improve and/or extend the useful
life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
life.  Initial direct leasing costs are expensed as incurred and such expense
approximates the deferral and amortization of initial direct leasing costs over
the lease terms.

2.   Organization Costs

The costs incurred in connection with the formation of the Trust are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.

3.   Financial Investments

Financial investments consisting of cash and mortgage notes payable are
recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value.

4.   Revenue Recognition

Rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from tenants and
interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

               For the period January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998

NOTE A - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

5.   Income Taxes

The Trust made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable
year ending December 31, 1995.  The Trust qualifies for taxation as a REIT, and
as such generally will not be subject to Federal income tax if it distributes
at least 95% of its REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) to its
shareholders.

6.   Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares 
of common stock outstanding for the period.

NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

offering discussed in Note E and is President and Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Trust and is the President/CEO and a Director of Wellington
Management Corporation (WMC).  WMC Realty Inc. (Realty) and Wellington
Investment Services Corp. (WISC) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wellington
Management Corporation.

Due to the common control, the Trust's basis in Forest Downs was the same as
WMC's basis.  The historical cost basis of the assets purchased from WMC,
including accumulated depreciation of $40,055, are reflected on the balance
sheet of the Trust.  The $152,615 excess of the purchase price over WMC's basis
has been recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

On January 5, 1996, Wellington Properties Trust purchased the apartment
complex from a related party, Wellington Realty Income Limited Partnership
90-1, for $3,600,000.

As of September 30, 1998 there were 734,179 Common Shares outstanding.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 16 1998 the Company entered into a contract to purchase Park 
Forest Apartments in Des Moines, Iowa ("Park Forest") for $3,850,000.  Park 
Forest is a 144 unit apartment community.  The contact provided that the 
transaction would close on June 30, 1998 but was amended to allow for closing 
on September 30, 1998.  In consideration for the extension of the closing date
the Company agreed to deposit an additional $40,000 of earnest money and 
increased the purchase price to $3,880,000.  The Company did not have sufficient
cash available to make the additional earnest money deposit and therefore 
borrowed $40,000 from American Real Estate Equities, LLC ("AREE") pursuant to
a promissory note dated August 3, 1998.  The note bears interest at
9% per annum and matures on December 31, 1998.  Interest accrues until the 
maturity date.  The Company was unable to close on September 30, 1998 and the
contract was terminated.  The earnest money was retained by the Seller.  The
Seller has indicated a willingness to reinstate the contract upon the payment
of additional earnest moeny.

On June 6, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement in principal with 
AREE to acquire a portfolio of properties to be defined and agreed to by the
parties.  The minimum value of such portfolio is to be $150,000,000. Properties
will be conveyed to the Company pursuant to a Master Contribution Agreement 
dated July 6, 1998, as amended.  The Company has formed an Operating 
Partnership and to fund a portion of the purchase price with the issuance of
limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (in which the 
Company will be the sole general partner), which interest will be convertible
to Common Stock.

Background

The Company marketed the Common Shares until October 25, 1995 and as offering 
proceeds were available it acquired investment real estate.  To date the
Company has acquired 410 apartment units located in three properties (Forest
Downs, Lake Pointe and Maple Grove).  On April 10, 1997, the Trust sold Forest
Downs for $2,000,000.

On May 1, 1995 the Company acquired 172 apartment units at Maple Grove.  The
property was 96.5% occupied on that date.  On June 30, 1995 the Company 
acquired an additional 36 units at Maple Grove.  On October 2, 1995 it acquired
an additional 24 units at Maple Grove, plus land and plans for an additional
60 units.  Construction of the final 60 units at Maple Grove was completed on
approximately August 31, 1996.  On December 30, 1996 the Company acquired the
final 12 units at Maple Grove for $792,000.  The Company used available cash
and the proceeds of a line of credit from Milwaukee Western Bank to purchase
the property.

The Company acquired Lake Pointe Apartments in January 1996 by an assumption 
of debt and issuance of its stock to the owners.  Lake Pointe consists of 72 
units.

Until October 25, 1995, the Company offered its Common Share to the public.
The proceeds of the offering were used: (i) to reduce existing debt; (ii) to
acquire additional properties; and (iii) to establish reserves as deemed
appropriate.

With Maple Grove having achieved substantial stabilized occupancy. Management
is aggressively pursuing additional acquisition opportunities.  There are
ongoing negotiations with respect to several properties and the Company has
entered into a contract to purchase 156 units in Des Moines, Iowa.  
Management has negotiated a credit facility to be used to fund acquistions 
with a major financial institution. 

On May 6, 1997 the Company obtained permanent financing with respect to Maple
Grove in the amount of $12,900,700.  The loan provides for monthly payments of
principal and interest based on a 30 year amortization schedule with a Balloon
at the end of the seventh year.  Interest is fixed at 8.095% per annum for the
term of the loan.

On March 5, 1998 the Trust completed the refinancing of Lake Pointe for
$2,750,000 with interest fixed at 7.6% per annum for 10 years.  A balloon
payment will be due on March 11, 2008.  Monthly payments of principal and
interest of $19,417.06 are based on a 30 year amortization schedule.

The proceeds from the sale of Forest Downs were used to retire the first
mortgage with respect to Forest Downs and to reduce the line of credit with
Milwaukee Western Bank and various accrued payables.

                    For the period January 1, 1998 through Sept 30, 1998

Current Operations

Rental revenues for the quarter period are greater than 1997 due to the 
stabilization of Maple Grove.  Year to date rental revenues for 1997 include
Forest Downs.  Forest Downs was sold April 10, 1997 and therefore revenues for
the first quarter of 1997 included Forest Downs.  Adjusting for Forest Downs,
revenues at Lake Pointe and Maple Grove increased approximately 5% in 1998 
over the first nine months of 1997.  As the Madison market tightens and fewer 
rental concessions are granted to new tenants revenues are expected to continue
to increase.  Occupancy for the period at Maple Grove was 95.7 and Lake 
Pointe was 98.1.

Interest expense decreased significantly between 1997 and 1998 due to (i) the
sale of Forest Downs and (ii) the refinancing of Maple Grove.

Liquidity

The Company has met its operating obligations during the period but has 
incurred significant expenditures with respect to prospective acquisitions.  
At September 30, 1998 the Company had earnest money deposits of $70,000 plus
an additional $30,000 of due diligence fees.  Cash demands were such that 
Wellington Management Corporation advanced approximately $40,000 to the Company
in July 1998.  It is anticipated that upon closing of the acquisitions the 
Company will receive a credit for earnest money and prepaid due diligence fees
except with respect to $50,000 deposit under the Park Forest contract.

The Company is also incurring extraordinary expense with respect to the AREE
acquisition and anticipates that additional borrowing or equity funding may
be necessary to meet such obligations.  Additional borrowing should not be 
necessary to meet operating requirements.

Due to the extraordinary expenses associated with the AREE transaction the
Company has deferred payment of the third quarter dividend until the closing of
the transaction.
