BUSINESS CORPORATE PROFILE BRE Properties, Inc. ("BRE" or the "company"), formerly a Delaware corporation that reincorporated in Maryland in March 1996, is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust which primarily owns and operates multifamily properties in the western United States. At December 31, 1995, BRE had ownership interests in 8,794 garden apartment units (5,475 wholly owned and 3,319 on land leased to others) in California, Arizona, Washington and Oregon. On that date, BRE also held ownership interests in thirteen commercial and retail properties (including two held in partnerships in which the company is a limited partner). Founded in 1970, the company has paid 102 consecutive quarterly dividends to shareholders since it commenced operations. On March 15, 1996, Real Estate Investment Trust of California, a California real estate investment trust ("RCT"), merged with and into BRE (the "Merger"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of the Merger dated October 11, 1995. The Merger was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. Pursuant to the Merger with RCT on March 15, 1996, BRE (i) acquired $274,400,000 in equity investments in real estate, (ii) assumed secured and unsecured RCT notes payable of $95,400,000, and other liabilities totaling $8,000,000, and (iii) issued 5,342,218 shares of Class A common stock valued at $171,000,000 for the conversion of RCT shares of beneficial interest. STRATEGIC FOCUS The key aspects of the company's strategy include a focus on the acquisition of multifamily properties; an accelerated, but orderly, disposition of industrial properties; increased access to the capital markets for financing; and the internalization of property management. STRUCTURE AND INVESTMENT POLICY BRE has operated since its July 1970 inception as a real estate investment trust pursuant to Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Its long-range investment policy emphasizes the purchase of fee ownership of both land and improvements, primarily in multifamily communities located in the Western United States. Among other things, this policy is designed to enable management to monitor developments in local real estate markets and to take an active role in managing the company's properties and improving their performance. The policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board of Directors and may be modified in the future to take into account changes in business or economic conditions, as circumstances otherwise 3 warrant, if it determines that such changes are in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR On May 20, 1996, the company announced that it would change its fiscal year-end to December 31 from July 31. The new accounting period will begin with the quarter ending June 30, 1996. The report covering the transition period from August 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, referred to herein as "Transition 1995", is filed with this Form 10-K. REVENUES AND OCCUPANCY The following table shows the percentage of the company's total rental revenues contributed by certain classes of properties during the five months ended December 31, 1995, and the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. It also shows the overall occupancy levels for these classes of properties at December 31, 1995. PERCENT OF REVENUES OVERALL --------------------------------- OCCUPANCY AT Dec.

PORTFOLIO AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 At December 31, 1995, the company's portfolio of income-producing real estate included, as a percent of cost, the following investments: PERCENT PERCENT NUMBER OF OF NUMBER OF OF PROPERTIES COST PROPERTIES COST ---------- ------- ---------- -------- Multifamily 25 72% California 23 63% Commercial Arizona 11 22 and retail 13 28 Washington 3 11 -- --- Oregon 1 4 ----- --- TOTAL: 38 100% TOTAL: 38 100% -- --- ----- --- -- --- ----- --- See Items 2 and 7 of this report for a description of the company's individual investments and of certain developments during the year with respect to these investments. 4 COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS BRE competes with many similar domestic and foreign real estate companies for investments in quality properties and for tenants to occupy the space in its multifamily complexes, commercial and retail projects. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1995, the company had 21 employees. The company also has engaged 10 independent property management firms to manage 27 of its apartment and multi-tenant commercial properties. The Merger between BRE and RCT in March 1996 provided BRE with the management capabilities and personnel to begin the internalization of the property management functions. Following the Merger, the total number of BRE employees grew from 21 to approximately 323 individuals as of July 31, 1996. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS Investments in real property create a potential for environmental liability on the part of the owner of, or any mortgage lender on, such real property. If hazardous substances are discovered on or emanating from any of the company's properties, the owner or operator of the property (including the company) may be held strictly liable for all costs and liabilities relating to such hazardous substances. The company's current policy is to obtain a Phase I environmental study on each property it seeks to acquire and to proceed accordingly. The company currently carries no insurance for environmental liabilities, although policies in effect in earlier years may in some cases provide coverage for environmental liabilities which may have occurred during the earlier policy periods. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS For additional information regarding the Merger, see Note 12 of Notes to the Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this document. For information regarding acquisitions, reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis in Item 2 of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 1996 and April 30, 1996, which information is incorporated herein by reference to excerpts of the Form 10-Qs. 5 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES GENERAL In addition to the information set forth in this Item 2, information on the company's portfolio is set forth in Schedule III under Item 14(d). The company carries earthquake insurance on all of its properties. The annual aggregate limits for flood and earthquake coverage (after payment of deductibles) are $5,000,000 (in California) and $10,000,000 (outside of California). On June 3, 1996, the Company increased its coverage to an aggregate limit of $50,000,000 for flood and earthquake coverage (after payment of deductibles of 2% of damages.) MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES As reflected in the following chart, during the five months ended December 31, 1995 and the last five fiscal years ended July 31, multifamily properties have increased as a percentage of the company's portfolio of income producing properties and revenues:
DECEMBER 31 JULY 31 - ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- 1995 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 - ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Percentage of portfolio at cost 72% 68% 62% 53% 41% 38% Revenues generated 79% 77% 71% 63% 58% 54%
From August 1995 through December 1995, revenue from the multifamily properties in the portfolio increased $580,000 or 3.4%, compared to the same period in 1994. Multifamily property operating expenses also grew but at a lower rate (2.6%). This resulted in higher net operating income of 3.8% for this segment of the portfolio during the five months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the five months ended December 31, 1994. COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL PROPERTIES A majority of the company's commercial and retail properties (i.e. properties other than multifamily) are leased to tenants under long-term operating leases. For additional information regarding these leases, see Note 3 of Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item 8. At December 31, 1995, the company had approximately 13 separate leases with approximately 12 tenants in its commercial properties. Of the company's eight fully occupied light-industrial, warehouse/distribution and office properties, two have multiple tenants, each with one tenant occupying more than 50% of the net rental space, and six have single tenants. One light industrial property, Irvine Spectrum (50,000 square feet in Irvine, California) was sold for $4 million on October 24, 1995. The sale was structured as a tax-deferred exchange for the 189-unit Candlewood North Apartment community which was acquired in February 1996. In September 1995, the company completed the sale of Pomona Warehouse (358,000 square feet in Pomona, California) which had been vacant since December 1993. The proceeds were used for a tax-deferred exchange into the 240-unit apartment community Newport Landing Phase I, in Glendale, Arizona. 6 HEADQUARTERS The company maintains its corporate headquarters at One Montgomery Street, Suite 2500, Telesis Tower, San Francisco, California. A sublease with Wells Fargo Bank, for an eleven-year term, is for 10,142 rentable square feet at annual per square foot rents which began at $23 and rise to $34 in the tenth year. The lease term ends December 17, 1998. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The company is defending various claims and legal actions that arise from its normal course of business, including certain environmental actions. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the company's results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial position. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Results of the matters submitted to the vote of security holders contained under the caption "Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders" on page 13 in Item 4 of the April 30, 1996 10-Q are incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS The shares of the company's Class A common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BRE. As of December 31, 1995, there were approximately 22,000 recordholders of the company's shares of Class A common stock. The prices and dividends below retroactively reflect the two for one stock split discussed in Note 12 to Notes to Financial Statements.

8 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS December 31, 1995 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and short-term investments totaled $16,057,000 at December 31, 1995, up from $4,462,000 at July 31, 1995. In addition to the $16,057,000 in cash and short-term investments, $3,854,000 was in escrow for completion of a tax-deferred exchange. During the five months ended December 31, 1995, BRE borrowed, on a non-recourse basis, $12,000,000 secured by the Verandas Apartments in Union City, California. The loan has a 10-year term, with amortization based on 30 years, and a fixed interest rate of 7.3%. The balloon payment at maturity is $10,732,000. Depending on market conditions at maturity, the Company may choose, among other things, to renegotiate the terms with the existing lender, refinance the property with another lender or sell assets to repay the balloon amounts. Also during Transition 1995, BRE completed the tax deferred exchange of the vacant Pomona Warehouse property in Pomona, California for the 240-unit Phase I of Newport Landing Apartments in Glendale, Arizona. The loss on the disposition of the Pomona Warehouse was $93,000. In addition, $3,854,000 has been placed in escrow from the proceeds of the disposition of the vacant Irvine Spectrum property in Irvine, California. The proceeds were invested on a tax-deferred basis in Candlewood North Apartments in February 1996. The loss on the disposition of the Irvine Spectrum Property was $819,000. An additional $400,000 was invested during Transition 1995 in tenant improvements at commercial and retail properties, and $202,000 was invested in improvements to existing apartments. In addition, as more fully discussed in Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements, BRE has committed a total of $127,532,000 for the purchase of seven multifamily communities. Five of these communities were purchased between February and July 1996 for $90,982,000 with cash, proceeds from tax-deferred exchange, and drawings on the Company's lines of credit. The remaining acquisitions will be funded through a combination of tax-deferred exchanges, cash and borrowings. Reference is made to Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements for discussion of property dispositions occurring subsequent to December 31, 1995. In addition to cash and short-term investments, the Company had available bank lines of credit totaling $30,000,000 as of December 31, 1995. There were no borrowings under the lines of credit at December 31, 1995. As of July 31, 1996, the amount available under bank lines of credit was raised to $100,000,000 as a result of the Merger and in order to finance apartment acquisitions described above. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the five months ended December 31, 1995 was $9,238,000 ($.42 per share), compared to $10,782,000 ($.49 per share) for the same period in 1994. Included in the Transition 1995 results were net losses on sales of investments of $899,000 ($.04 per share), compared to net gains on sales of investments of $1,250,000 ($.06 per share) for the same period in 1994. Funds from operations totaled $13,431,000 for Transition 1995, up 6% from the same period in 1994. Funds from operations is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus provisions for depreciation, amortization and possible investment losses. Because income-producing properties are typically evaluated without taking into account non-cash charges such as provisions for depreciation, amortization and possible investment losses, management believes that funds from operations is an appropriate supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. 9 Reference is made to Item 1 under the caption "Revenues and Occupancy" for the overall occupancy levels by class of property. REVENUE Total revenues, of which approximately 96% represents rental revenues, rose 11% from the comparable period in 1994. The increase is primarily the result of apartment communities acquired with high occupancy levels over the past year. EXPENSES Operating expenses of rental properties for Transition 1995 increased 14% from the comparable period in 1994, primarily due to expenses on the new apartment acquisitions. General and administrative expenses were $1,475,000 for Transition 1995, slightly up from the comparable period in 1994 due to higher salaries and employee benefits due to a larger staff to accommodate growth. Commencing August 1, 1995, BRE began allocating a portion of its salaries, employee benefits and other personnel costs to the real estate expense of the properties in the portfolio. While this reclassification does not change BRE's net income or funds from operations, such allocation reduces reported general and administrative expenses and increases real estate expense by an equal amount. Management believes that this allocation is consistent with industry practices and will provide better matching of the revenue generated by the properties and the expenses required to generate that revenue. The amounts reclassified from general and administrative expenses to real estate expenses under this allocation method were $666,000 for the five-month period. As more fully discussed in Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements, on October 11, 1995 BRE entered into the Merger Agreement with RCT. Interest expense was $3,547,000 for the five month period. Interest expense has increased on an annualized basis as a reflection of new mortgage loans, assumed since August 1, 1994, on Camino Seco Village, Colonia del Rio, Fountain Plaza, Hacienda del Rio, Oracle Village, Spring Hill and Verandas Apartments. The principal of these loans totaled approximately $27,939,000. GAIN (LOSS) ON SALES A loss of $912,000 was recorded during Transition 1995 on the previously discussed sales of Pomona Warehouse and Irvine Spectrum. Offsetting the losses was the $13,000 increase in the reported gain on Marymoor Warehouse, sold in November 1994. DIVIDENDS The $.63 per share dividend for Transition 1995 was approximately 103% of funds from operations as two quarters' dividends were paid during the five-month period. The dividend exceeded reportable net income. Reference is made to Note 12 to Notes to Financial Statements for discussion of the stock split and dividends declared and paid subsequent to December 31, 1995. ITEM 8.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BRE Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1994, and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity, cash flows and the related financial schedule for the five months ended December 31, 1995 and each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1995. These financial statements and the related schedule are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the related schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and related schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and related schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BRE Properties, Inc. at December 31, 1995, July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the five months ended December 31, 1995 and each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See notes to financial statements 19 1. COMPANY BRE Properties, Inc. ("BRE" or "the Company") is a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") which owns and operates multifamily communities and other income producing properties in the Western United States. At December 31, 1995, BRE's portfolio consisted of 38 properties, including 25 multifamily communities (aggregating 8,794 units, consisting of 5,475 wholly owned units and 3,319 units on land leased to others) and 13 commercial and retail properties (including 2 held in partnerships in which BRE is a limited partner). Of these properties, 23 are located in California, 11 in Arizona, 3 in Washington and 1 in Oregon. The 38 properties contain, in the aggregate, approximately 8,650,000 net rentable square feet of improvements on approximately 511 acres of land. In March 1996, BRE merged with Real Estate Investment Trust of California ("RCT"). This and other subsequent events are disclosed in Note 12. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES CHANGE IN YEAR-END AND TRANSITION PERIOD FINANCIAL REPORT In May 1996, BRE elected to change its year end from July 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 1995. The change was made to better align BRE's reporting periods with those of its industry peer group. In connection with the year-end change, the five-month period from August 1 through December 31, 1995 is being reported in this transition 10K. Comparable condensed results for the five month period from August 1 through December 31, 1994 are as follows: (Unaudited) --------- August 1 through December 31, 1994 ---------------------------------- Revenues $25,213,000 Income before gain on sales 9,532,000 Net gain on sales 1,250,000 --------- Net income $10,782,000 Net income per share: Income before gain on sales $.436 Net gain on sales .057 ---- Net income $.493 20 RENTAL PROPERTY Rental property is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation less an adjustment, if any, for impairment. Rental properties are evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) from a rental property are less than its carrying value. Upon determination that such impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to net realizable value. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 35 to 45 years for buildings and 5 to 25 years for other property. Developments are generally considered placed in service as the property is ready for occupancy. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE Real estate classified as held for sale is stated at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less disposal costs. Depreciation is not recorded on assets classified as held for sale. In the course of business, BRE will receive offers for sale of its properties, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers which are accepted, the buyer will usually require a due diligence period before consummation of the transaction; it is not unusual for matters to arise which result in withdrawal of the offer during this process. As a result, real estate is not classified as "held for sale" until it is likely, in the opinion of management, that a property will be disposed of in the near term, even if sales negotiations for such property are currently underway. No properties are considered "held for sale" for this purpose as of December 31, 1995. RENTAL EXPENSES AND CAPITALIZED COSTS For apartment properties, costs of replacements, such as appliances, carpets and drapes, are expensed. Leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs for retail and commercial and industrial properties are expensed when the lease term is less than five years and capitalized on leases of five years or more and amortized using the straight-line method over the lease terms which range from 5 to 25 years. For all properties, improvements and betterments that increase the value of the property or extend its life are capitalized. 21 CASH AND OTHER SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS BRE considers highly liquid short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments which potentially subject BRE to concentrations of credit risk include cash and short- term investments. BRE places its cash deposits and temporary cash investments with creditworthy, high quality financial institutions. The concentration of such deposits and temporary cash investments is not deemed to create a significant risk to BRE. DEFERRED COSTS Included in other assets are costs incurred in obtaining debt financing which are deferred and amortized over the terms of the respective debt agreements. Related amortization expense is included in interest expense (non-cash) in the accompanying statements of operations. Net deferred financing costs included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheets are $758,000, $764,000 and $703,000 as of December 31, 1995 and July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. INCOME TAXES BRE has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code"). As a result, BRE will not be subject to federal taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes, annually, at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies certain other requirements. In addition, all the states in which BRE owns and operates real estate properties have provisions equivalent to the federal REIT provisions. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. (LOSSES) GAINS ON SALES OF INVESTMENTS IN RENTAL PROPERTIES Sales are generally recorded at the close of escrow or after title has been transferred to the buyer and after appropriate payments have been received and other criteria have been met. NET INCOME PER SHARE Beginning August 1, 1995, net income per share is based upon the simple weighted average shares outstanding during the five month period ended December 31, 1995. For the years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the calculation included common stock equivalents. The effect of excluding common stock equivalents from the calculation beginning August 1, 1995 is less than 3% and is not material to the financial statement presentation. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis is presented if dilution is greater than 3%. Such dilution only occurred in 1993 when fully diluted net income per share was $2.74. 22 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of BRE's financial instruments, including cash and other short- term investments, accounts receivable, mortgage loans receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage loans payable, lines of credit and other financial instruments, approximate their carrying or contract values based on their nature, terms, and interest rates which approximate current market rates. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATION Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. Commencing August 1, 1995, BRE began reallocating a portion of its salaries, employee benefits and other personnel costs from general and administrative to real estate expense to better reflect the functional nature of the underlying activity. While this reclassification does not change BRE's net income or funds from operations, such allocation reduces reported general and administrative expenses and increases real estate expense by an equal amount. Management believes that this allocation is consistent with industry practices and will provide better matching of the revenue generated by the properties and the expenses required to generate that revenue. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. This statement requires the recording of impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. The statement also requires that assets held for disposal be carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation on these assets is discontinued. For this purpose, management must commit to a plan to sell or abandon the asset and it must be actively marketed for sale in the near future. BRE adopted Statement 121 in 1996 and there was no effect from the adoption of the standard. 23 In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. This statement establishes a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock based compensation plans, and also permits companies to continue to apply the intrinsic value based methodology, providing certain pro-forma disclosures are made. BRE will adopt the standard in 1996 through disclosure only. 3.

The entities have improved the land with buildings. BRE's carrying value for the land and its own improvements at December 31, 1995 is $85,194,000, which is net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $25,394,000. 24 The future minimum lease payments to be received from the entities under these operating leases at December 31, 1995 are as follows: (In thousands) 1996 $11,498 1997 10,260 1998 9,158 1999 8,524 2000 5,999 Thereafter 26,583 ------ $72,022 ------ ------ Rental income attributable to apartment leases is recorded when due from the tenants and is recognized monthly as it is earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis. Rental income attributable to commercial and industrial leases is recorded ratably over the lease term. Leases with tenants at wholly owned shopping centers provide for percentage rents based upon the gross revenue of the tenants. These percentage rents are in excess of stipulated minimums. Percentage rents under these operating leases, which are included in rental income, amounted to:

4. MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE BRE has various mortgage loans and notes receivable which are to be paid in monthly installments through July 1997. The notes bear interest at rates ranging from ten to twelve percent. Amounts remaining due to BRE at December 31, 1995 aggregate $6,977,000. The allowance for possible investment losses was $1,250,000 as of December 31 and July 31, 1995 and $1,000,000 as of July 31, 1994. All loans are secured by real estate. 25 5. LINES OF CREDIT At December 31, 1995, two banks had extended to BRE unsecured lines of credit aggregating $30,000,000 and expiring on March 1, 1996. No borrowings under these lines of credit were outstanding during the five months ended December 31, 1995 or during the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995 and 1994. In connection with these arrangements, a fee is charged on the committed amounts. Such fee totaled $67,000 for the five months ended December 31, 1995. 6. MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE BRE has acquired certain investments in rental property which are subject to existing mortgage loans payable and has obtained mortgage loans on other investments. The following data pertains to mortgage loans payable at December 31, 1995, and at July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively: (In thousands) December 31, 1995 July 31, 1995 July 31, 1994 - -------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- Mortgage loans payable $112,290 $100,828 $73,944 Cost of investments in real estate securing mortgage loans payable $173,904 $157,320 $119,523 Annual principal and interest payments $9,769 $8,642 $6,574 Remaining terms of mortgage loans payable 2-33 years 3-34 years 1-11 years Interest rates 6.5 - 8.4% 5.5 - 8.4% 5.6 - 8.4% Included in the $112,290,000 mortgage loans payable is $9,240,000 of tax-exempt debt with a variable interest rate, which was 5.35% at December 31, 1995.

This option was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form S-8 and is not part of the Plans. At December 31, 1995, the price of shares under option ranged from $12.97 to $17.59, with an average price of $15.56. Expiration dates ranged from August 24, 1996 through August 27, 2005. Stock options were exercised during the period on options originally granted at $14.47. In addition, at December 31, 1995, 44,864 Restricted Shares were outstanding at grant prices ranging from $14.09 to $17.59 per share. 27 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN The 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan provides for the issuance of 5,000 Non-Qualified Stock Options per year to each non-employee member of the board of directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 250,000. As with the Employee Plan, the option price may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted. Changes in options outstanding during the period ended December 31, 1995 and the year ended July 31, 1995 were as follows: DECEMBER 31, 1995 July 31, 1995 ----------------- ------------- Balance at beginning of period 20,000 - Granted 100,000 25,000 Canceled - (5,000) Granted to RCT Board members 75,000 - ------------- ------------- Balance at end of period 195,000 20,000 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Exercisable - - Shares available for granting future options 55,000 230,000 At December 31, 1995, the prices of shares under option were $15.25 and $16.63, with expiration dates of September 25, 2004 and October 15, 2005, respectively. 8. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS On August 14, 1989, the Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each share of BRE's common stock outstanding on September 7, 1989. The Rights entitle the holders to purchase, under certain conditions, shares of common stock at a cash purchase price of $45.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Rights may also, under certain conditions, entitle the holders to receive common stock, or other consideration, having a value equal to two times the exercise price of each Right. The Rights are redeemable by BRE at a price of $.005 per Right. If not so redeemed, the Rights expire on September 7, 1999. 9. RETIREMENT PLAN BRE has a defined contribution retirement plan covering all employees with more than one year of continuous full-time employment. In addition to employee elective deferrals, BRE currently contributes an amount equal to 10% of the compensation expense of participating employees. The amounts contributed were $83,000 for the five months ended December 31,1995, and $139,000, $145,000, and $113,000 for the years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. 28 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain executives of BRE have purchased stock, the consideration for which was interest-bearing recourse loans. The loans may be forgiven in whole or in part upon the achievement of certain performance goals for BRE related to growth in assets, funds from operations and stock price. The portions of the loans expected to be forgiven are expensed currently as compensation. At December 31, 1995, the carrying amount of the loans was $721,650. The amounts of such loans expected to be forgiven and treated as compensation expense were $29,809 and $20,416 for the five months ended December 31, 1995 and for the year ended July 31, 1995, respectively. Interest income, which would be immaterial to BRE, is not being recognized on the loans. These receivables are presented as assets rather than reclassified as reductions to equity because such reclassifications would be immaterial. 11. LITIGATION BRE is defending various claims and legal actions that arise from its normal course of business, including certain environmental actions. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on BRE's results of operations or financial position. 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS MERGER WITH RCT On March 15, 1996, RCT merged with and into BRE ("the Merger"). Following consummation of the Merger, BRE changed its state of domicile from Delaware to Maryland, amended the BRE Certificate of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock, and approved the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. The Merger was completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 11, 1995, as amended ("the Merger Agreement"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of beneficial interest of RCT was converted into the right to receive .57 of a share of BRE common stock. The Merger was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies and by the requisite vote of the shareholders of both. The Merger has been accounted for in 1996 as a purchase business combination. Pursuant to the Merger with RCT on March 15, 1996, BRE (i) acquired $274,400,000 in equity investments in real estate, (ii) assumed secured and unsecured RCT notes payable of $95,400,000, and other liabilities totaling $8,000,000, and (iii) issued 5,342,218 shares of Class A common stock valued at $171,000,000 for the conversion of RCT shares of beneficial interest. 29 ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE BRE purchased the following rental properties subsequent to December 31, 1995:

As of July 31, 1996, $53,000,000 was outstanding on the lines of credit.

Currently, there are two Class I directors, two Class II directors and two Class III directors. At the BRE Annual Meeting, two Class II directors are to be elected for a term of three years (expiring 1998) or until the election and qualification of their successors. The persons proposed for reelection as the Class II directors of BRE are Mr. L. Michael Foley and Mr. John McMahan. The accompanying proxies solicited by the BRE Board of Directors will (unless otherwise directed, revoked or suspended) be voted for the reelection of Messrs. Foley and McMahan, who are the present Class II directors of BRE and were appointed by the Board of Directors in 1994 and 1993, respectively. See also "BRE Annual Meeting -- Record Date; Voting Rights; Proxies." In the unanticipated event that either nominee should become unavailable for election or upon election should be unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment. The Merger Agreement provides that upon consummation of the Merger, BRE's Board will be increased by adding three persons who currently are trustees of RCT. At that time, it is anticipated that the BRE Board, without shareholder vote, will appoint Mr. Kuppinger as an additional Class I director (term expiring in 1997), Mr. Simon as an additional Class II director (1998) and Mr. Borsari as an additional Class III director (1996). See "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger." The following table sets forth certain information as to the nominees, as well as the other current members of the Board and the three RCT directors proposed to be appointed to the Board following the Merger, including their ages, principal business experience during the past five years, the year they each first became a director, Board committee membership and other directorships currently held in companies with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of that Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

See "Incorporation by Reference." Mr. Butcher, a Class III director of BRE, is a managing general partner in approximately 240 partnerships which act as the general partner of single purpose limited partnerships, each of which owns a rental real estate property. To date, 14 of these single purpose limited partnerships have filed for protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws.

All of the directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and each of the committees on which they served during fiscal 1995, except Mr. McMahan. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, an Executive Committee and a Compensation Committee. The present members of these committees are indicated in the preceding section of this Proxy Statement. There is no Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the annual financial statements with both management and the independent auditors. Such review includes an assessment as to whether the financial statements are complete and consistent with information known to them and reflect appropriate accounting principles. The Audit Committee meets annually with the independent auditors in preparation for, and in review of, the annual audit. During fiscal 1995, the Audit Committee met twice. 42 EX-99.2 4 EXHIBIT 99.2 EXHIBIT 99.2 BRE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE The following table shows the compensation for the past three fiscal years of BRE's Chief Executive Officer and each other executive officer with salary and bonus of over $100,000 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 (the "named executive officers").

The restrictions on Mr. von Thaden's shares were terminated upon his retirement on December 31, 1995. The restrictions on Mr. McDowell's shares lapse on the third anniversary of the grant date and may lapse upon termination of employment following a change in control of BRE. See BRE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS, below. Ms. Breslauer has announced her retirement effective March 1, 1996. Dividends are paid on restricted shares at the same rate and at the same time as on the BRE Common Stock. 43 At July 31, 1995, the aggregate number and value of shares of restricted stock (based on the market price of $31.50 at July 31, 1995) held by each of the named executive officers was as follows: NUMBER VALUE ------ ---------- von Thaden . 5,200 $163,800 McDowell . . 4,082 128,583 Fox. . . . . 2,900 91,350 Mason. . . . 2,400 75,600 Wargo. . . . 2,400 75,600 Breslauer. . 1,500 47,250 (2) Consists of BRE's contributions to its defined contribution retirement plan (401(k) Plan) on behalf of the named executive officers. Also includes $1,250 for Mr. Fox representing BRE's allocation for him pursuant to the Supplemental Retirement Plan which BRE established beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 in order to provide all employees, other than Messrs. von Thaden and Mason (see SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS, below), unfunded supplemental retirement benefits equal to the benefits that would have been received from BRE contributions to the 401(k) Plan absent the various contribution limitations. OPTION GRANTS IN FISCAL 1995 The following table sets forth (i) all individual grants of stock options made by BRE during fiscal 1995 to each of the named executive officers; (ii) the ratio that the number of options granted to each individual bears to the total number of options granted to all BRE employees, (iii) the exercise price and expiration date of these options; and (iv) the estimated potential realizable values assuming certain stock price appreciation over the ten-year option term.

(1) All options shown in the table were granted under BRE's 1992 Employee Stock Plan (the "1992 Plan"), except for options for 50,000 shares granted to Mr. McDowell. The exercise price is 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. The options vest 50% on each of the first and second anniversary dates of grant (except as described below for Mr. McDowell's options) and expire ten years from the date of grant. The option price is payable in cash or by delivery of previously acquired shares of BRE Common Stock, and the option holder may in certain circumstances elect to have shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with the exercise of options. Options granted may become immediately exercisable in certain events such as an optionee's retirement, death or disability, or in connection with a merger, acquisition or "change in control" as defined in the 1992 Plan. All options held by Mr. McDowell may become immediately exercisable upon termination of employment following a change in control of BRE. 44 Mr. von Thaden's options became fully vested on his retirement as a BRE employee on December 31, 1995. See BRE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS, below. Mr. McDowell exercised his options immediately upon grant with respect to 20,000 shares. See the following table. Mr. McDowell's options for the remaining 50,000 shares vest in equal installments on June 22, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Any portion of these options then remaining unexercised will terminate on July 22, 2000, unless at any time prior to that date the market price for the BRE Common Stock has exceeded $39.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. (2) Potential realizable value is calculated based on an assumption that the price of BRE's Common Stock appreciates at the annual rate shown (5% and 10%), compounded annually, from the date of grant of the option until the end of the option term (ten years). The value is net of the exercise price but is not adjusted for the taxes that would be due upon exercise. The 5% and 10% assumed rates of appreciation are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent BRE's estimate or projection of future stock prices. Actual gains, if any, upon future exercise of any of these options will depend on the actual performance of BRE's Common Stock and the continued employment of the executive officer holding the option through its vesting period. At 5% annual appreciation from $31.00 over a ten-year term, the stock price would be $50.50. At 10% annual appreciation from $31.00 over a ten-year term, the stock price would be $80.41. Using a base of $30.63, the stock price would be $49.88 after five years and $79.43 after ten years. AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN FISCAL 1995 AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES The following table sets forth (i) the number of shares received and the aggregate dollar value realized in connection with each exercise of outstanding stock options during fiscal year 1995 by each of the named executive officers; (ii) the total number of all outstanding unexercised options held by the named executive officers as of the end of fiscal year 1995; and (iii) the aggregate dollar value of all such unexercised options based on the excess of the market price of the BRE Common Stock over the exercise price of the option.

- ------------------- (1) Value realized is calculated by subtracting the total exercise price from the market value of the underlying BRE Common Stock on the date of exercise. Because Mr. McDowell purchased 20,000 shares on the date of grant of his options, the exercise price was equal to the market price at the time of exercise. Mr. McDowell was granted a loan of $612,500 by BRE representing the full exercise price for the 20,000 shares. See BRE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS, below. As a result of his option exercise, Mr. McDowell increased his holdings of BRE Common Stock by 20,000 shares. (2) The market value of BRE's Common Stock at July 31, 1995 was $31.50 per share. 45 BRE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS MR. MCDOWELL Effective as of June 5, 1995 (the "Commencement Date"), BRE entered into a five-year employment agreement with Mr. McDowell. Certain material terms of the agreement are as follows: BASE SALARY AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS. Mr. McDowell will receive a base salary of $300,000 per year and is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of base salary based on achievement of predefined operating or performance criteria established by the BRE Board, with emphasis on FFO (the "Annual Criteria"). STOCK LOAN. On the Commencement Date, Mr. McDowell received a loan (the "Employment Stock Loan") of $612,500 to exercise options to purchase 20,000 shares of BRE Common Stock (at an exercise price of $30.625 per share) issued on that date. The Employment Stock Loan bears interest at 8.25% per annum, compounded annually, with all principal and accrued interest payable in full on June 5, 2000 (the "Payment Date"); provided, however, that repayment of any principal and accrued interest under the Employment Stock Loan (the "Loan Amount") will be forgiven in accordance with the following formulas (the "BRE Performance Formulas"): (i) 20% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if the gross book value of BRE's equity investments in real estate, investments in limited partnerships and mortgages have a value of $937 million or more on the Payment Date, and a pro rata portion of 20% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if such value is between $791 million and $937 million; (ii) 20% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven on the Payment Date if, on the second anniversary date of the Employment Stock Loan, there has been an increase in FFO per share of BRE Common Stock for the two year period ending April 30, 1997 which is at or above the 80th percentile of the Indexed REITs for a comparable period, and a pro rata portion of 20% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if any such increase is within the 50th and 80th percentiles; (iii) 30% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if, on the Payment Date, there has been an increase in FFO per share of BRE Common Stock for the three year period ending April 30, 2000 which is at or above the 80th percentile of the Indexed REITs, and a pro rata portion of 30% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if any such increase is within the 50th and 80th percentiles; and (iv) 30% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if, as of the Payment Date, the average of the FFO multiples of BRE Common Stock as of December 31 of each of the five preceding years (computed in each case by dividing the market price of BRE Common Stock on the last trading day of the calendar year by the preceding twelve months' FFO) is at or above the 80th percentile of the average multiple of the Indexed REITs for the same five year period, and a pro rata portion of 30% of the Loan Amount will be forgiven if such multiple is within the 50th and 80th percentiles. In addition, repayment of a pro rata portion of the Loan Amount will be forgiven by BRE upon termination of Mr. McDowell's employment with BRE under the circumstances described in CERTAIN SEVERANCE BENEFITS, below. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS. On the Commencement Date, Mr. McDowell received options to purchase 50,000 shares of BRE Common Stock at an exercise price of $30.63 per share. One-third of such options vest on each of June 22, 1998, 1999 and 2000; provided, however, that any unexercised options terminate on July 22, 2000 if the Market Value of BRE Common Stock has not exceeded $39.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days during the five year employment term. On the Commencement Date, Mr. McDowell was also awarded 4,082 Restricted Shares, all of which shall vest on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date. FUTURE AWARDS. Beginning with the fiscal year commencing August 1, 1996 and for each subsequent fiscal year, Mr. McDowell will receive annual long term incentive awards which, assuming achievement of all applicable performance goals, will provide Mr. McDowell with the financial equivalent of (i) a forgivable performance based five-year loan to purchase 5,000 shares of BRE Common Stock and (ii) performance options to purchase 25,000 shares of BRE Common Stock at Market Value on the date of award. CERTAIN SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, at any time during the five year employment term, the employment of Mr. McDowell is terminated, he shall be entitled to receive the benefits described below. 46 (a) TERMINATION OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH A CHANGE IN CONTROL. (i) TERMINATION BY BRE WITHOUT CAUSE. If Mr. McDowell is terminated without cause before June 5, 1997, he will receive a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times his then base salary, all vesting restrictions on the 4,082 Restricted Shares awarded on the Commencement Date would be eliminated and the Loan Amount would be reduced to an amount equal to the product of 20,000 times the Market Value of BRE Common Stock on the date of termination, with the balance of the Loan Amount payable immediately. If such termination occurs after June 5, 1997, Mr. McDowell would receive a lump sum payment equal to his then base salary plus an amount equal to the average of his annual bonus over the most recent two years (or the previous annual bonus if only one annual bonus period has passed), all vesting restrictions on the 4,082 Restricted Shares awarded to him on the Commencement Date would be eliminated and the Loan Amount would be reduced based on a pro rata application of the BRE Performance Formulas (the "BRE Performance Adjustment"), taking into consideration the number of full months worked and BRE's performance data through the last quarter ended 45 days or more prior to the termination date. (ii) TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY. Upon termination due to death or disability, Mr. McDowell or his estate will receive a lump sum payment equal to the estimated annual bonus he would have received for the fiscal year in question (based on actual performance relative to the Annual Criteria for the fiscal year and Mr. McDowell's contribution to the date of death or disability), calculated on a prorated basis to the date of termination. In addition, the Employment Stock Loan would be forgiven based on the BRE Performance Adjustment, with any balance payable 15 days after termination. (iii) VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OR TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Upon voluntary termination or termination for "cause" by BRE, no further compensation would be payable to Mr. McDowell and the outstanding balance of the Employment Stock Loan, together with accrued but unpaid interest, would be payable in full within 15 days of termination. (b) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL. (i) TERMINATION BY BRE WITHOUT CAUSE OR BY MR. MCDOWELL FOR GOOD REASON. If Mr. McDowell is terminated without cause within 12 months following a Change in Control, or if Mr. McDowell terminates his employment for "Good Reason" within 12 months after a Change in Control, he would receive the following benefits: (a) a lump sum payment equal to (x) two times his then base salary plus an amount equal to two times the average of his annual bonus over the most recent two years, or his previous annual bonus if only one annual bonus period has passed (based on his current base salary of $300,000 and assuming average incentive compensation in the maximum amount of $300,000, this payment would be $1,200,000) plus (y) the estimated annual bonus he would have received for the fiscal year in question (based on actual performance relative to the Annual Criteria for the fiscal year and Mr. McDowell's contribution to date), calculated on a prorated basis to the date of termination; (b) all unvested stock options held by Mr. McDowell would vest and be exercisable for a period of three months; (c) all vesting restrictions on the Restricted Shares would be eliminated; and (d) the Employment Stock Loan would be forgiven based on the BRE Performance Adjustment, with any balance payable upon termination. (ii) TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY. Upon termination due to death or disability following a Change in Control, Mr. McDowell or his estate would receive the same benefits described in paragraph (a)(ii) above. (iii) VOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON OR TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Upon voluntary termination of employment by Mr. McDowell without Good Reason within 12 months following a Change in Control, he would receive a lump sum payment equal to his then base salary plus an amount equal to the average of his annual bonus over the most recent two years, or the previous annual bonus if only one annual bonus period has passed ($600,000, assuming a 47 $300,000 base salary and maximum incentive bonus). The outstanding balance of the Employment Stock Loan would be due on such termination. Upon termination for "cause" by BRE within 12 months following a Change in Control, no further compensation would be payable to Mr. McDowell and the outstanding balance of the Employment Stock Loan, together with accrued but unpaid interest, would be payable in full within 15 days of termination. Any of the foregoing amounts payable to Mr. McDowell following a Change in Control are subject to reduction to the extent such payments would constitute "parachute payments" as defined in Section 280G of the Code. MR. VON THADEN On December 19, 1994, BRE entered into an agreement with Mr. von Thaden contemplating his retirement on December 31, 1995. Pursuant to that agreement, BRE agreed to the acceleration of vesting of all stock options and restricted stock held by Mr. von Thaden as of the retirement date, and to allow exercise of such options for up to three years following that date (but not beyond the original term of any such option). Mr. von Thaden relinquished the position of Chief Executive Officer and became Chairman of the Board on June 5, 1995, when Mr. McDowell became the Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. von Thaden retired as a BRE employee on December 31, 1995, resulting in acceleration of the existing 4,000 shares of BRE restricted stock and stock options for 17,500 shares of BRE Common Stock, although he remains a director of BRE. BRE agreed to maintain Mr. von Thaden's compensation and benefits through December 31, 1995 at the same levels as existed on December 19, 1994. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS In 1988, BRE established an unfunded plan to provide supplemental retirement benefits to Mr. von Thaden and Howard E. Mason, Jr. This plan generally provides for the payment of supplemental benefits to each of Mr. von Thaden and Mr. Mason in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the excess of the benefits he would have received under the defined benefit pension plan of BankAmerica Corporation (assuming his employment with BRE's predecessor, BankAmerica Realty Services, Inc., had continued until retirement at his BRE earnings levels) over the benefits he is entitled to receive under BRE's 401(k) Plan or (ii) the benefits he would have received from BRE's contributions to the 401(k) Plan absent the various contribution limitations. These supplemental benefits are payable upon termination of employment in any actuarially equivalent form. The established supplemental benefits payable to Mr. von Thaden on his retirement on December 31, 1995 are annual payments of $11,600 as a life annuity, with a minimum of five years of payments (i.e., a five year certain and life annuity) or, in lieu of annual payments, a lump sum of $100,100. Assuming retirement prior to age 65, the maximum estimated supplemental benefits payable to Mr. Mason are annual payments of $1,540 as a life annuity, with a minimum of five years of payments (i.e., a five year certain and life annuity) or, in lieu of annual payments, a lump sum of $13,500. Assuming retirement at age 65, the estimated supplemental benefits payable to Mr. Mason are annual payments of $1,380 as a life annuity, with a minimum of five years of payments (i.e., a five year certain and life annuity) or, in lieu of annual payments, a lump sum of $11,600. See also footnote 2 of the SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE, above, regarding the BRE Supplemental Retirement Plan adopted beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. 48 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COMPENSATION POLICIES AFFECTING EXECUTIVE OFFICERS GENERAL The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") administers BRE's executive compensation program. The Committee is composed entirely of outside directors. The objective of BRE's executive compensation program is to develop and maintain executive reward programs which contribute to the enhancement of shareholder value, while attracting, motivating and retaining key executives who are essential to the long-term success of BRE. As discussed in detail below, BRE's executive compensation program consists of both fixed (base salary) and variable (incentive) compensation elements. Variable compensation consists of annual cash incentives, restricted share grants and stock option grants. These elements are designed to operate on an integrated basis and together comprise total compensation value. Each year, the Committee reviews executive compensation in light of BRE's performance during the last fiscal year and compensation data at companies that are considered comparable. In reviewing BRE's performance during fiscal 1995, the Committee considered a variety of factors. Funds from operations increased 8% from $28,431,000 in fiscal 1994 to $30,843,000 in fiscal 1995. The real estate portfolio grew 16% from $326,628,000 to $378,356,000. The market price of BRE's Common Stock increased 2% during the year, from $30.88 to $31.50. In reviewing BRE performance, the Committee considered these factors as a whole without assigning specific weights to particular factors. It is the Committee's belief that, in light of the current compensation levels of BRE's executive officers, none of BRE's executive officers will be affected by the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility of certain executive compensation during 1995. Therefore, the Committee has not adopted a policy as to compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m). BASE SALARY Base salary levels of BRE's key executives are largely determined through comparison with comparable companies in the real estate industry. For this purpose, the Committee gives primary consideration to companies included in the equity REIT peer group used for the five-year comparison of total shareholder return. Salary information about comparable companies is surveyed by reference to public disclosures made by companies in the real estate industry. In addition, the Committee from time to time obtains information about comparable salary levels from an outside compensation consultant. For fiscal 1995, base salaries of BRE's executive officers were set to approximate the 50th percentile of the survey data. ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVES The annual cash incentive is designed to provide a short-term (one-year) incentive to executive officers based on a percentage of the individual's base salary. Incentive awards are based on the achievement of predetermined corporate and individual performance goals. For the CEO, the relative weights of the corporate and individual performance measures are 75% to BRE's goals and 25% to the individual's goals. For the Executive Vice President and the Senior Vice Presidents, the relative weights are 50% to BRE's goals and 50% to the individual's goals, and for vice presidents and other officers who participate in the bonus program, the relative weights are 25% BRE goals and 75% individual goals. Specific individual goals for each executive are established at the beginning of the year (by the Committee in the case of the CEO and by the CEO in all other cases) and are tied to the functional responsibilities of each executive. Individual goals may include objective and subjective factors, such as improving the performance of assets managed by the executive, successful acquisitions or sales, development of leadership skills and personal training and education. BRE's goals are 49 based on operating performance, as measured by a predetermined increase in FFO. Other than the allocation between individual and BRE goals, no specific weights are assigned to the individual goals. In addition, no bonus awards are made if a minimum level of FFO is not met. In fiscal 1995, BRE and certain of the individual performance targets were met. The Summary Compensation Table shows cash bonuses paid to the named executive officers for fiscal 1995. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES Stock options are designed to provide long-term (ten year) incentives and rewards tied to the price of BRE's common stock. Given the fluctuations of the stock market, stock price performance and financial performance are not always consistent. The Committee believes that stock options, which provide value to participants only when BRE's shareholders benefit from stock price appreciation, are an important component of BRE's annual executive compensation program. The number of options or shares currently held by an officer is not a factor in determining individual grants, and the Committee has not established any target level of ownership of BRE Common Stock by BRE's executive officers. However, accumulation and retention of shares of BRE stock by officers is encouraged. Stock options are awarded annually in the first month following the close of each fiscal year. BRE does not adhere to any firmly established formulas for the issuance of options. During fiscal 1995, ten senior officers received stock option grants. The Summary Compensation Table shows the options granted to the named executive officers for fiscal 1995. In determining the size of the grants to the named executive officers, the Committee assessed relative levels of responsibility and the long-term incentive practice of other comparable companies. In accordance with the provisions of BRE's 1992 Employee Stock Plan, the exercise price of all options granted was equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, the value of these grants to the officers is dependent solely upon the future growth and share value of BRE's Common Stock. The Committee also awards restricted shares as a compensation vehicle and to retain key executive managers. Currently ten officers, each of whom is an assistant vice president or higher of BRE, hold awards. The number of restricted shares covered by each award is determined by the Committee in its discretion and generally reflects the extent of the officer's success in achieving BRE's goals during the preceding year and the level of the officer's responsibility. The Summary Compensation Table shows restricted share awards made to the named executive officers for fiscal 1995. All awards of restricted shares over the past three fiscal years have provided for vesting at the end of a period of five years. Since the holder of restricted shares would generally forfeit them if he or she were to leave BRE prior to vesting, the Committee believes these awards are a significant factor in the retention of key employees and support a long-term view among the officers. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION ARTHUR G. VON THADEN The Committee based the fiscal 1995 compensation of Arthur G. von Thaden, BRE's chief executive officer until June 5, 1995, on the policies described above and on the terms of Mr. von Thaden's employment contract. In December 1994, BRE entered into an agreement with Mr. Von Thaden contemplating his retirement on December 31, 1995. Pursuant to that agreement, BRE agreed to continue to pay Mr. von Thaden's then present compensation and benefits through December 31, 1995, to provide for the acceleration of vesting of stock options and restricted stock held by Mr. von Thaden as of the retirement date, and to allow the exercise of such options for up to three years following that date (but not beyond the original term of any such option). In making these arrangements with Mr. von Thaden, the Committee took into account the terms of his employment contract and his expected continued contribution to BRE to the retirement date, the importance of his assistance to BRE's new Chief Executive Officer to make a smooth transition of responsibility and his past contributions to BRE. 50 FRANK C. MCDOWELL Following announcement that Arthur G. von Thaden would be retiring as Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors appointed a Search Committee (the "Search Committee") to conduct a search for a new Chief Executive Officer. In connection with its search, the Search Committee engaged an executive search firm to identify possible candidates and it reviewed carefully the available information regarding the compensation of the chief executive officers of other publicly held real estate firms, including those firms emphasizing ownership of multifamily properties. In connection with these activities, the Search Committee determined that the compensation package for BRE's new Chief Executive Officer would require an increase in the base salary over that paid to Mr. von Thaden. In addition, in order to closely align the Chief Executive Officer's interest with that of the shareholders, the package would include long term incentives designed to provide significant rewards upon achievement of meaningful corporate objectives, including growth in assets, FFO and stock price. On June 5, 1995, Mr. Frank C. McDowell became BRE's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McDowell was identified as the person who could best lead BRE in its efforts to reposition itself as a multifamily REIT and to increase its asset size and equity. The Search Committee believed that Mr. McDowell's experience as Chief Executive Officer of Cardinal Realty Services, Inc., which included oversight responsibility of a 35,000 unit apartment portfolio, as well as his real estate, lending and public company experience would be well suited to BRE's needs. Effective as of June 5, 1995, BRE entered into a five year employment agreement with Mr. McDowell providing, among other things, for an annual base salary of $300,000 and an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of base salary upon achievement of predefined operating or performance criteria, a five year stock loan of $612,500 which may be forgiven based on achievement during the employment term of various BRE performance formulas based on asset growth, increases in FFO and multiples of FFO, options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock (subject to vesting and certain termination provisions if BRE's stock price does not exceed $39 per share for ten consecutive days during the employment term) and a grant of 4,082 restricted shares. See BRE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS, above, for additional information regarding Mr. McDowell's employment agreement, including the weighting of various BRE performance factors.
