Item 1. Business
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
California Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust" or "CalREIT") is a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1966 in California as a real estate trust. CalREIT has engaged primarily in the acquisition, management, and disposition of commercial property and mortgage investments for 29 years through various real estate market cycles.
CalREIT's Common Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CT".
The Trust's investment portfolio currently includes both fee title ownership of real property as well as mortgage notes. It owns five properties located in five market areas in the western United States. The $18.4 million real estate portfolio encompasses one office property in Scottsdale, Arizona; a warehouse storage facility in Pasadena, California; a hotel property near San Luis Obispo, California; a shopping center in Sacramento, California and a 60% interest in a retail/office property in Kirkland, Washington in the Seattle metropolitan area. The commercial properties encompass approximately 273,000 rentable square feet; the hotel has 113 guest rooms plus food and beverage service.
The Trust's mortgage note portfolio consists of approximately $20.7 million in loans, valued at approximately $13.5 million, which bear interest at an overall effective rate of approximately 8% and are collateralized by mortgages on real property. Most of the investments in the eight loans were done in connection with the disposition of Trust properties prior to 1994.
In 1994, total income to the Trust came from the following sources: 69% from rental income and 36% from interest income less a 5% loss from the sale of a property. As of year-end, the Trust had approximately $3.4 million in cash. The Trust is not involved in any foreign operations, nor does it derive any income from foreign sources. At year-end, the Trust was 48% leveraged reflecting outstanding mortgage debt obligations of approximately $8.7 million; its debt-to-equity ratio was approximately 1:3.
The Trust has operated and intends to continue to operate to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code thereby preserving certain tax benefits for its shareholders that are available through such qualification.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 14, 1994, The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (formerly Commonwealth Equity Trust) as majority shareholder owning 76% of CalREIT's outstanding Common Shares, voted its common stock to elect a new Board of Trustees all of whom were key management personnel of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust ("Peregrine"). Subsequently the Board was changed and is now comprised of one outside Trustee who also serves on Peregrine's Board of Trustees, and two remaining Trustees, both of whom are executive officers of Peregrine and one of whom is also a
Trustee of Peregrine. In order that the majority of its Trustees be independent, at its next annual meeting of shareholders, the Trust will add to its slate two additional candidates to serve as outside Trustees.
Peregrine emerged from bankruptcy on October 7, 1994 pursuant to its Third Amended Plan of Reorganization as modified (the "Plan") which was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division on August 8, 1994. The Plan provided for the restructuring of virtually all of Peregrine's secured and unsecured debt. As a result, a lender group for which the Prudential Life Insurance Company of America acts as agent (the "Lender Group") owns 52% of the common stock and 100% of the preferred stock of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust; it also received Restructured Secured Notes from Peregrine in the original amount of $40 million. Under the Note Agreement, without permission and terms approved by the Lender Group, Peregrine cannot vote to allow CalREIT to merge or acquire substantially all of the assets of any company or entity other than Peregrine; or to form or acquire any subsidiary or sell substantially all of the Trust's assets. Other than as disclosed above, CalREIT is not affected in any material way by Peregrine's operations under the Plan.
MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST'S INVESTMENTS
In 1994, CalREIT became self-administered, elected the new Board of Trustees and appointed new executive officers for the Trust. Frank A. Morrow is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Arnold E. Brown is Chief Financial Officer. Although the Trust is self-administered, it has no employees. All management services are provided by employees of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (for whom Peregrine receives a reimbursement of costs pursuant to a cost allocation agreement) or by independent contractors.
Upon installation of the new management group, CalREIT terminated its advisory and management agreements with B & B Property Investment, Development and Management Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, B & B Property, Inc. CalREIT also terminated its agreement with North Main Street Company which operated the Trust's hotel property.
Shortly thereafter, on April 29, 1994, United Property Services, Inc. ("UPSI") was engaged as the new property manager for the Trust's commercial property assets. UPSI operates under an agreement that automatically runs for consecutive month-to-month terms, but is terminable by either the Trust or UPSI upon 30 days notice. On June 1, 1994, CapStar, a professional hotel management company was signed to lease the Best Western Casa Grande Motor Inn. Other agreements were signed with leasing firms in the Trust's various market areas as part of a program to increase occupancy and rental income at its commercial properties. As of year-end, the average weighted occupancy level for the commercial property portfolio was 85% and 40% at the hotel property.
In addition, with respect to the Trust's note portfolio, foreclosure proceedings were initiated against two delinquent noteholders and other delinquency issues were resolved.
The rules and regulations adopted by various federal, state and local government agencies concerning environmental controls in the operation of real property may adversely affect existing property operations or reduce future investment opportunities. While the Trust does not believe that environmental controls have had a material impact on its activities to date, there can be no assurance that the Trust will not be adversely affected in the future.
During the last three fiscal years, the Trust has been involved in only one industry segment: acquiring, operating and holding for investment income-producing properties and making mortgage loans secured by real property. The Trust's financial and operating performance information is set forth in the accompanying financial statements.
During the latter part of 1994, the Trust began to explore alternative strategies to grow the company through acquisitions, joint-venture arrangements and possibly an infusion of new capital. A strategy was developed to rationalize the portfolio and to concentrate on one asset class. It is also expected that over time the Trust's holdings will favor equity positions rather than mortgages. The Board explored growth opportunities in single and multi-tenant industrial buildings, retail centers and hotel properties. Early research indicated potential growth opportunities for CalREIT within the lodging industry where the economics appear to be firming. In the coming months, management intends to continue to explore multiple options to expand the Trust, but will focus on growth potential within the lodging industry.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
In 1994 there were significant changes within California Real Estate Investment Trust. Commonwealth Equity Trust (now The Peregrine Real Estate Trust), as the majority shareholder holding a 76% interest in the Trust, voted its shares on April 14, 1994 to remove and replace the Board of Trustees and its management group. Peregrine believed the Trust was being operated in a liquidation mode as opposed to that of a going concern and that overall returns from rapid property dispositions may have been lower than those achievable over a longer holding period. Peregrine believed it had to move to protect its and other stockholders' investments in the company. Shortly after taking over management of CalREIT, the new Board installed its own management group and terminated the contracts of B & B Property Investment, Development and Management Company (B & B), and B & B Property Investment, Inc. (B & B
Property). In May 1994, CalREIT terminated its hotel management agreement with North Main Street Company (North Main), also owned by B&B's former President and Chairman of the Board.
Frank A. Morrow assumed the responsibility of Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer immediately, and subsequently, Arnold E. Brown became Chief Financial Officer and a Trustee. An immediate and comprehensive review revealed the Trust was basically a small company with six properties of widely varied types scattered throughout three Western states. In addition, the Trust was found to hold a small loan portfolio of eight mortgage notes which had come about primarily from disposition transactions occurring prior to 1994.
At the time the new management group took over in the second quarter of 1994, CalREIT had approximately $3,300,000 in cash. A portion of this cash was used to bring the Trust's properties up to good operating condition, to remedy a sizable number of maintenance items and improvements which had been deferred. Delinquent rents were collected and non-paying tenants evicted from the Trust's commercial properties. A leasing program was implemented to improve occupancy levels and to develop a higher caliber tenant mix. Foreclosure proceedings were initiated on two noteholders delinquent in their payments. One of the Trust's properties, a small shopping center in Imperial Canyon, California was sold. Total distributions of $914,000, or $.10 per share, were paid during the second and third quarters. No distributions were paid in the fourth quarter as management concentrated on developing its short and long-term operating plans and associated cash requirements.
For comparison purposes, it should be noted that the CalREIT property portfolio underwent a significant reduction in size between 1993 and 1994. At the beginning of 1993, CalREIT owned thirteen properties; however by the end of the year, with seven properties sold, the Trust owned a total of six properties. As of the end of May 1994, after the sale of the shopping center noted above, CalREIT owned four commercial properties, one hotel property and a portfolio of eight mortgage notes.
CalREIT's commercial property portfolio includes the 27,900 square foot Redfield Commerce Center in Scottsdale, Arizona; the 35,500 square foot Fulton Square Shopping Center in Sacramento; an 83,000 square foot Bekins storage facility in Pasadena and the 126,600 square foot Totem Square retail/office property in the Seattle metropolitan area. The average occupancy level for the commercial properties in the portfolio at the end of 1994 was 85%, trending upward in the first quarter of 1995.
CalREIT owns the 113-room Best Western Casa Grande Motor Inn located near San Luis Obispo. Until May 14, 1994, this property was managed by North Main. Commencing June 1, 1994, the hotel was leased to CapStar, a professional hotel management company, at a base net lease rate of $20,000 per month plus a percentage of profits above levels as specified in the related lease agreement. Accordingly, all of the hotel's operations accounted for in the Trust's 1994 financial statements are for five months only, through the end of May 1994. Thereafter, only the net lease payments are reflected.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1994, the Trust had $3,366,000 in cash. Its five properties had a net book value of approximately $18,391,000 at year-end 1994 with collateralized indebtedness against them totaling $8,740,000 (48%). CalREIT's $20,714,000 note portfolio is carried at a book value of $13,532,000 due primarily to cumulative write downs in valuation. The primary sources of
liquidity for the Trust in 1995 will be its cash on hand, cash generated from operations and interest payments on its notes. The primary demands on the Trust's capital resources will be debt service payments and the funding of capital improvements to the Trust's properties. In addition, in order to maintain its REIT status, the Trust must distribute to shareholders approximately $1,000,000 in 1995 and intends to do so in the late third or early fourth quarter.
The Trust's debt-to-equity ratio improved to 1:3 at the end of 1994 as compared to 1:2 at year-end 1993. This was primarily a result of the reduction in debt obligations after the disposition of eight properties. The Trust's current ratio (cash, accounts receivable in the next 12 months and prepaid expenses; divided by distributions payable, accounts payable and other liabilities due within the next 12 months) of 3:1 is indicative of the Trust's financial stability at this time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF 1994 TO 1993
Total Revenues decreased by $555,000, or 10%, to $4,898,000 in 1994, down from $5,453,000 in 1993. This decline is primarily the result of the reduction of the number of properties by eight, contributing to the overall revenue pool.
Rental revenues decreased by $908,000, or 26%, to $2,593,000 in 1994 compared to revenues of $3,501,000 in 1993. As stated above, virtually all of the decline is attributable to the absence of rents from eight properties that were sold during 1993 and the first part of 1994. Rental revenues from the four remaining commercial properties, increased by 9% or $190,000 from 1993 to 1994. The largest increase, $170,000, was attributable to new property management services and leasing programs implemented at Totem Square.
In 1994, interest revenue to the Trust increased by $777,000, or 87%, to $1,675,000, up from $898,000 in 1993. This increase was due primarily to the recognition of an additional $735,000 in interest income on one of the Trust's mortgage notes. In September of 1994, this note was modified and $491,000 of accrued interest, (the recognition of which had been deferred), was paid in consideration for releasing an asset from the pool collateralizing the note.
Revenue from hotel operations during 1994 was $630,000, including $140,000 in lease revenue from CapStar. CapStar has asked to renegotiate certain lease terms. It has said it must improve the property's earning capacity. It has taken a number of steps to accomplish this including increasing the number of advance group and tour bookings, implementing a local marketing program and substantially revamping the property's food and beverage operations.
Total Expenses decreased by $1,196,000, or 21%, to $4,597,000 in 1994 down from $5,793,000 in 1993. This improvement is due primarily to the reduction of operating expenses, property management fees, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expenses required by the Trust's 1994 downsized portfolio of four commercial properties and one hotel. Specifically, from 1993 to 1994, the eight properties sold during this time period accounted for a decrease of $431,000 in commercial property operating expenses; $60,000 of the decrease in property management expenses; $274,000 of the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense; and $447,000 of the decrease in interest expense.
The Trust's four commercial properties experienced a $161,000 or 22% increase in property operating expenses from 1993 to 1994 primarily due to deferred maintenance costs. In contrast, these four properties experienced a $20,000 or 21% decrease in property management expenses during the same time period, primarily due to a reduction in monthly management fees from 5% to 3% of collected rents which the Trust negotiated with its new property management firm. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for these four properties by $13,000, or 3%, from 1993 to 1994; as did interest expense which decreased by $31,000 or 5%.
For the first five months of 1994, while the hotel was managed by North Main, hotel operating expenses decreased by $14,000, or 2%, to $882,000 down from $896,000 for all of 1993. Hotel property management expenses decreased $25,000, or 83%, to $5,000 also during the first five months of 1994, down from $30,000 in 1993. Annual hotel depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $35,000, or 35%, to $136,000 from 1993 to 1994; while the annual hotel interest expense increased by $35,000, or 11%, to $356,000 from 1993 to 1994.
General and administrative costs increased $151,000, or 23%, from $662,000 in 1993 to $813,000 in 1994. This increase was due primarily to legal fees incurred in the election of a new Board of Trustees and to the terminations of B&B, B&B Property and North Main.
Net loss decreased by $8,075,000 in 1994 to $36,000, down from $8,111,000 in 1993. This decrease was due primarily to a substantial difference in valuation losses charged in 1993 as compared to those charged in 1994.
Operating income in 1994 was $301,000 as compared to a loss of $340,000 in 1993. Early in 1994, the Imperial Canyon shopping center was sold at a gain to the Trust of $114,000. Recognition of deferred gain from a partial principal payment on one of the Trust's mortgage notes resulted in an additional $12,000 gain to the Trust in 1994. The total gain of $126,000 was offset by a $344,000 loss from the release of and default on two of the Trust's mortgage notes, resulting in a total loss on the sale of assets of $218,000 for 1994. In 1993, the Trust experienced a net gain of $131,000 on the sale of three assets and the recognition of a deferred gain from a partial principal payment on one of its mortgage notes.
Income before valuation losses or extraordinary items was $83,000 in 1994 as compared to a loss of $209,000 in 1993. In 1994, valuation losses of $119,000 resulted from the write down of value on two properties. In 1993, the write down of value on five properties and four mortgage notes resulted in a total valuation loss of $8,146,000 for the year. In 1994 there were no extraordinary items. During 1993, the Trust owned a property with a carrying value of $2,056,000 which was foreclosed upon by its lender who held a note for $2,300,000. As a result of this transaction, the Trust recognized a $244,000 gain on the foreclosure as an extraordinary item.
During the first five months of 1994, the hotel experienced an average operating loss after debt service of $107,000 per month. With the signing of the lease with CapStar, this amount was reduced to approximately $8,600 per month, the difference between the monthly lease payment of $20,000 and the property's monthly debt service requirement of $28,600. CapStar's operating performance is being monitored closely and if significant improvement to the bottom-line is not forthcoming in the near future, the Trust must make a decision as to the viability of this management company or possibly whether to hold this hotel property over the long-term.
COMPARISON OF 1993 TO 1992
Total Revenues decreased by $436,000, or 7%, to $4,453,000 in 1993 from $5,889,000 in 1992. This decline is primarily the result of the collection of eight notes receivable during 1993 and the retirement of a note receivable due to the foreclosure in connection with the acquisition of the hotel which caused a revenue decrease of $1,350,000, and the acquisition of the hotel property which caused an increase in revenue of $1,054,000.
Rental revenues declined $140,000, or 4%, to $3,501,000 in 1993 from $3,641,000 in 1992. This decrease represents the effect of the sale of seven properties during the year combined with increased revenue from properties which were owned for the entire year.
Interest revenue, as described above, decreased by $1,350,000, or 60%, to $898,000 in 1993 from $2,248,000 in 1992.
Total Expenses increased by $727,000, or 14%, to $5,793,000 in 1993 from $5,066,000 in 1992. Hotel operating expenses which were not present in 1992 accounted for $896,000 of expenses. Property management fees increased by $236,000, or 61%, to $620,000 in 1993 from $384,000 in 1992. However, included in this amount was a portfolio asset management fee of $165,000 paid to B&B in 1993, a substantial portion of which had been waived in 1992. Other property related expenses decreased from 1992 to 1993 due to property sales described above. Operating expenses decreased by $422,000, or 25%, to $1,281,000 in 1993 from $1,703,000 in 1992. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $264,000, or (24%), to $847,000 in 1993 from $1,111,000 in 1992.
Interest expense increased by $99,000, or 7%, to $1,487,000 in 1993 from $1,388,000 in 1992. This increase arose primarily from the Trust's new note payable related to the hotel.
General and administrative expenses increased $182,000, or 38%, to $662,000 in 1993 from $480,000 in 1992. Of this increase, $176,000, or 97%, was attributable to non-recurring expenses in connection with a proposed merger that was ultimately abandoned.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Changing interest rates would not have a significant effect on the Trust's current debt, as it is all at fixed rates. However, should the Trust desire to increase its debt level or to raise equity in the future, an increase in interest rates would make either debt or equity more costly.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION
California Real Estate Investment Trust was organized under the laws of the State of California pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated September 15, 1966.
The Trust became a partner of Totem Square, L. P. (Totem), a Washington Limited Partnership in which the Trust owns a 59% interest, on November 30, 1990. The Trust also formed CalREIT Totem Square, Inc. (Cal-CORP) to act as general partner of Totem. Cal-CORP has a 1% interest in Totem, and Totem Square Associates, an unrelated party, has the remaining 40%.
On April 14, 1994, The Peregrine Real Estate Trust (formerly Commonwealth Equity Trust) as majority shareholder owning 76% of the Trust's outstanding Common Shares, called a special meeting of shareholders at which it voted its common stock to replace the Board of Trustees. At that time, the Trust elected a new Board of Trustees all of whom were key management personnel of The Peregrine Real Estate Trust ("Peregrine"). Subsequently, the Board was changed and is now comprised of one outside Trustee who also serves on Peregrine's Board of Trustees, and two remaining Trustees, both of whom are executive officers of Peregrine and one of whom is also a Trustee of Peregrine. In order that the majority of its Trustees be independent, at its next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Trust will add to its slate two additional candidates to serve as outside Trustees.

For 1994, 1993 and 1992, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and Totem.
RENTAL PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, rental properties are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and less a valuation allowance for possible investment losses. The Trust's valuation allowance for possible investment losses represents the excess of the carrying value of individual properties over their appraised or estimated net realizable value.
CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
The additions to the valuation allowance for possible investment losses are recorded after consideration of various external factors, particularly overbuilding in real estate markets which has a negative impact on achievable rental rates. A gain or loss will be recorded to the extent that the amounts ultimately realized from property sales differ from those currently estimated. In the event economic conditions for real estate continue to decline, additional valuation losses may be recognized.
The allowance for depreciation and amortization has been calculated under the straight-line method, based upon the estimated useful lives of the properties which lives range from 30 to 40 years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and improvements which do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate acquired by cancellation of indebtedness or foreclosure is recorded at fair market value at the date of acquisition but not in excess of the unpaid balance of the related loan plus costs of securing title to and possession of the property.
OTHER ASSETS
The Trust amortizes leasing commissions on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases to which they relate. Financing costs are amortized over the lives of the loans or other financial instruments to which they relate.
INCOME TAXES
The Trust has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust and as such, is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to shareholders, provided that at least 95% of its real estate trust taxable income is distributed and that the Trust meets certain other REIT requirements.
CASH
The Trust invests its cash and restricted cash in demand deposits with banks with strong credit ratings. Bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts totaled $4,299,000 and $3,146,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Trust has not experienced any losses on these deposits.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
SALES OF REAL ESTATE
The Trust complies with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66 (SFAS 66), "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." Accordingly, the recognition of gains on certain transactions are deferred until such transactions have complied with the criteria for full profit recognition under the Statement. The Trust had deferred gains of $1,169,000 and $1,181,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In 1994, the Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." This statement requires disclosure of the fair value of all financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS 107 resulted only in additional disclosure requirements and had no effect on the Trust's financial position or results of operations.
INCOME RECOGNITION
In 1994, the Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 (SFAS 118), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." This statement requires disclosure of the method of recognizing interest on impaired loans. The adoption of SFAS 118 resulted only in additional disclosure requirements and had no effect on the Trust's financial position or results of operations.
The Trust recognizes interest income on notes receivable when it is estimated that the fair value of the collateral related to the note is adequate.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share of beneficial interest is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding. Shares of beneficial interest equivalents were anti-dilutive for the three years ended December 31, 1994. The weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest and earnings per share of beneficial interest are as follows:

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the 1993 financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.
2. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Until April 14, 1994, administrative services were provided to the Trust by B & B Property Investment, Development and Management Company, Inc. (B & B). B & B's compensation consisted of an advisory fee based on the real estate investments and real estate commissions in connection with purchases, sales and leasing of Trust properties as well as a reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in performing services for the Trust.
Until April 14, 1994, property management responsibilities of the Trust were assigned to B & B Property Investment, Inc. (B & B Property). The compensation for property management services was computed at 5% of the gross receipts of each property managed and each note receivable serviced.
Compensation to B & B and B & B Property was $156,000, $1,042,000 and $474,000 during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Certain disputes between the Trust, B & B and B & B Property arising from the Trust's termination of B & B's and B & B Property's advisory and management agreements were settled in May 1994 for $60,000.
CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------
2. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED:
The Trust entered into a management agreement with North Main Street Company (North Main), a company owned by the President and Chairman of the Board of the Trust's former advisor, B & B, to manage the Trust's hotel. Pursuant to that agreement, the Trust incurred management fees of $16,000 and $34,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Trust also terminated that agreement with North Main and leased the hotel property to an unrelated third party, a professional hotel management company which operates lodging facilities nationally.
The Trust and Peregrine are both self-administered. However, they share certain costs, including personnel costs for which the Trust reimburses Peregrine pursuant to a cost allocation agreement based on each trust's respective asset values (real property and notes receivable) that is negotiated annually. During 1994, reimbursable costs charged to the Trust by Peregrine approximated $300,000. This amount was offset against the following amounts due from Peregrine.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Trust had amounts due from Peregrine aggregating $202,000 and $437,000, net of valuation allowances of $141,000 and $200,000, respectively. Such uncollateralized amounts are due on demand; and the remaining $298,000 due from Peregrine to the Trust will be satisfied against future cost allocations.
3. RENTAL PROPERTIES:
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Trust's rental property portfolio at cost included commercial buildings, $18,450,000 and $26,505,000; office buildings, $1,581,000 and $1,581,000; and hotel property, $6,452,000 and $6,375,000, respectively.
Noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 1994, provide for minimum rental income during each of the next five years of $1,449,000, $1,215,000, $945,000, $425,000 and $312,000, respectively, and $274,000 thereafter. Certain of the leases increase periodically based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.
One rental property with a carrying value of $3,372,000 at December 31, 1994 is subject to a purchase option exercisable in 1996 on the part of the lessee. Exercise price as determined by the related agreement is greater than the carrying value of the property as of December 31, 1994.

4. NOTES RECEIVABLE:
In order to facilitate sales of real estate, the Trust has accepted partial payment in the form of notes receivable collateralized by deeds of trust. Additionally, the Trust has invested in a variety of loans collateralized by deeds of trust. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Trust had long-term notes receivable, collateralized by deeds of trust, of (before valuation allowances and deferred gains) $20,714,000 and $21,478,000, respectively. Generally the notes are collateralized by real estate properties in California and Arizona.
The notes are to be repaid from the cash flow of the property or proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the properties. At December 31, 1994, $2,282,000 of such notes were delinquent. Contractually scheduled principal collections over the next five years, excluding delinquent notes, are as follows:
The notes bear interest at rates ranging from 7.63% to 16% as of December 31, 1994. For the year ended December 31, 1994, the overall effective rate was approximately 8%.
5. VALUATION ALLOWANCES:
Based on a review of its investments, the Trust has provided for valuation allowances as set forth below. Adverse economic factors, particularly overbuilt real estate markets which caused a decline in lease renewal rates, were the primary causes of these valuation losses. If such adverse economic factors continue, additional valuation loss provisions may be required.
Analysis of changes in the allowance for possible losses on real estate investments, partnership interests, notes receivable, and rents and interest receivable for 1994, 1993 and 1992 follow:

9. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:
In 1993 and 1992, the Trust allowed foreclosure on notes payable secured by deeds of trust. The sales prices of $2,300,000 and $1,600,000 represent the value of the notes payable relieved in connection with these foreclosures in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Distributions were made as follows:
In 1993, the Trust modified the terms of its note receivable on Redfield Commerce Center, 7950 E. Redfield Road in Scottsdale, Arizona. As a provision of the modification, $48,000 of accrued interest was added to the principal amount of the note.
On October 23, 1992, the Trust exchanged $5,900,000 of notes receivable collateralized by real property for a shopping center located in Mesa, Arizona valued at $6,300,000 and owned by Peregrine. Notes aggregating $1,084,000 are guaranteed by the Trust. The excess of the property value over the value of the notes was used to satisfy delinquent property taxes, unexpended security deposits and interest receivable. In December 1992, the Trust exercised its right to offset $258,000 of notes receivable and related accrued interest of $132,000 against notes and accrued interest payable aggregating $390,000 with the same party.
Interest paid on the Trust's outstanding debt for 1994, 1993, and 1992, was $1,121,000, $920,000 and $1,365,000 respectively.
10. COMMITMENTS:
LEASES
The Trust is obligated under a land lease to the year 2033. The minimum annual payment under the lease for each of the next five years is $69,000, and, in the aggregate, $2,346,000, thereafter. Total ground lease expense was $75,000, $63,000 and $69,000 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Trust.
The estimated fair value of the Trust's financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable, rents and other receivables and notes payable, at December 31, 1994, is approximately the same as their carrying amounts.
12. MINORITY INTEREST:
The Trust has a 60% ownership interest in Totem, its subsidiary. Totem's net losses have exhausted the minority shareholder's equity interest. On the consolidated statement of operations, no minority interest in the subsidiary's net loss is recorded for 1994 or 1993. In the event that future income is generated from the subsidiary, the Trust will have first rights to the income to the extent of the minority shareholder's accumulated deficit in the subsidiary.
13. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM:
During 1993, the Trust owned a rental property with a carrying value of $2,056,000 that was foreclosed upon by the lender of $2,300,000 of long-term term debt which the property collateralized. Consequently, the Trust recognized a $244,000 gain on the foreclosure as an extraordinary item.

15. HISTORICAL FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION:
Equity REIT analysts generally consider Funds From Operations (FFO) an appropriate measure of performance in comparing the results of operations of REITs. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles before gains and losses on sales of property and from debt restructuring plus depreciation and amortization. Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") is defined as FFO less capital expenditures funded by operations and loan amortization. The Trust believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical operating results of the Trust, FFO and FAD should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in this report. FFO and FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of the Trust's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Funds From Operations and Funds Available for Distribution for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 are summarized as follows:

Item 9.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During 1993, the Trust terminated KPMG Peat Marwick as its independent accountant and appointed Burnett, Umphress & Kilgour. As of December 21, 1994, Burnett, Umphress & Kilgour was terminated as the Trust's independent accountant, and Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. ("C & L") was appointed the Trust's independent accountant. Because the Trust is 76% owned by Peregrine, which is also currently audited by C & L, cost savings will arise from C & L's auditing of both trusts. These changes of accountants were appropriately reported by the Trust on Form 8-K.
During the Trust's two most recent fiscal years and the interim period ending December 21, 1994, there were no disagreements with either former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Any disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of either former accountant, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their reports.
