BUSINESS. OVERVIEW The Pacific Gulf Properties Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was established pursuant to the Pacific Gulf Liquidating Trust Agreement dated August 23, 2001 (the "Trust Agreement"), by and between Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association (the "Trustee") and Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. ("PGP"). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and to that Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement") by and between FountainGlen Properties LLC ("FGP") and PGP, on August 23, 2001 certain assets and liabilities of PGP were transferred to the Trust, and PGP merged (the "Merger") with and into FGP and ceased its separate corporate existence. The Trust was formed in order to liquidate the assets and liabilities so transferred to it and to distribute the net funds remaining following such liquidation to the former shareholders of PGP (the "Beneficiaries"). Interests in the Trust ("Beneficial Interests") are not assignable or transferable except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law. The principal assets transferred to the Trust on August 23, 2001 included: - An industrial property with 382,245 leasable square feet located in City of Industry, California (the "City of Industry Property") - An industrial property with 269,146 leasable square feet located in Sacramento, California (the "Sacramento Property") - Cash in the amount of $13,256,000 - A note receivable from PGP (assumed by operation of law by FGP) in the amount of $10,750,000 - A management agreement and certain other agreements associated with the City of Industry Property and the Sacramento Property 3 The principal liabilities assumed by the Trust on August 23, 2001 included: - The liabilities (with specified exceptions) of PGP associated with its prior ownership of the City of Industry Property and the Sacramento Property, including those associated with certain tenant lawsuits - The obligations of PGP and FGP with respect to claims by purchasers of certain other industrial properties previously sold by PGP - The obligation of PGP to make payments for certain post-closing consideration adjustments under the Merger Agreement and to pay other transaction costs associated with the Merger TAX TREATMENT Because the Trust is classified as a liquidating trust it will be treated as a grantor trust for Federal income tax purposes, and accordingly will not be subject to tax on any income or gain recognized by it. Each Beneficiary will be treated as the owner of his pro rata portion of each asset, including cash, received by and held by the Trust and will be required to take into account in computing his own taxable income, his pro rata share of each item of income, gain and loss of the Trust. The Trust will issue an annual information statement to the Beneficiaries with tax information sufficient to enable Beneficiaries to complete their tax returns. Beneficiaries are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to their own filing requirements and the appropriate tax reporting of this information on their returns. REPORTS TO BENEFICIARIES; MEETINGS The Trustee is required to provide to the Beneficiaries and to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an annual report on Form 10-K and interim reports on Form 8-K whenever, in the opinion of the Trustee, a significant event relating to the Trust's assets has occurred. Generally, there will not be meetings of the Beneficiaries. However, holders of at least 10% of the aggregate Beneficial Interests may require the Trustee to call a meeting of the holders of the Beneficial Interests. 4 CITY OF INDUSTRY PROPERTY SALE On November 15, 2001, the Trust completed the sale of the City of Industry Property for an aggregate sale price of $18,000,000. The Trust realized net proceeds, net of closing costs of approximately $400,000, of approximately $17,600,000. SACRAMENTO PROPERTY SALE On May 31, 2002, the Trust completed the sale of 122,253 square feet of the Sacramento Property for an aggregate sale price of $6,138,000. The Trust realized net proceeds, net of closing costs of approximately $201,000, of approximately $5,937,000. DISTRIBUTIONS On December 31, 2001, the Trustee of the Trust made a cash distribution of $1.00 per unit (25,939,116 in total) to the Beneficiaries. On September 18, 2002, the Trustee of the Trust made a cash distribution of $0.75 per unit ($19,454,337 in total) to the Beneficiaries. IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT THE TRUST WILL MAKE ADDITIONAL FUTURE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS OF APPROXIMATELY $0.25 PER UNIT OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST BASED UPON FUNDS AVAILABLE, ESTIMATED NET PROCEEDS FROM THE ULTIMATE SALE OF THE REMAINDER OF THE SACRAMENTO PROPERTY, THE ESTIMATED TIMING OF SUCH SALE, THE LEVELS OF RESERVES DEEMED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE TRUSTEE BELIEVES THAT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND PROJECTIONS USED IN ARRIVING AT THE ESTIMATE OF THE REMAINING NET CASH LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS ARE REASONABLE, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH ASSUMPTIONS WILL IN FACT PROVE CORRECT. ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE ACTUAL REMAINING DISTRIBUTIONS WILL NOT BE IN AN AMOUNT THAT WILL VARY MATERIALLY FROM THE TRUSTEE ESTIMATES OF NET LIQUIDATION VALUES. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. At December 31, 2002, the Trust owned a 146,893 square foot industrial property located in Sacramento, California, which was approximately 60% leased. On February 6, 2003, the Trust completed the sale of the remaining Sacramento Property for an aggregate sales price of $6,100,000. The Trust realized net proceeds, net of closing costs of approximately $672,873, of approximately $5,427,126. 5 On July 31, 2002, the Trust received payment in full for the Note Receivable from FGP in the amount of $10,750,000 plus accrued interest, for a total payment of $10,796,285. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Litigation claims against FGP, related to properties formerly owned by PGP, created two payment obligations of the Trust. One of these litigation claims has been settled. The other is described below. CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION COUNCIL OF SACRAMENTO, INC. The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Sacramento, Inc. ("CAPC") leased a portion of the Sacramento Property from PGP. At some unidentified time, mold began to grow in the building. Upon discovery of the mold condition, CAPC vacated the building. CAPC and several of its employees commenced an action in California court alleging that PGP knew about the mold condition but failed to warn CAPC about the problem and the potential health risks, and failed to take adequate measures to correct the condition. CAPC sought damages for the costs of relocating to a new facility. The employees sought damages for health problems that they alleged were caused by mold exposure. The amount of the alleged actual damages of CAPC and the employees was unspecified. CAPC and the employees also sought punitive damages. PGP submitted defense of the case to its insurance carriers, which accepted the defense subject to certain reservations. The litigation has been settled without liability obligations of FGP or the Trust. Such litigation, however, resulted in defense costs to FGP that are payable by the Trust in the estimated amount of $210,000. Some portion of those defense costs may be recoverable from the liability insurance company, but such recovery may be disputed and is uncertain. 6 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of the Beneficiaries, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. There is no public market for the Beneficial Interests of the Trust. The Beneficial Interests are not transferable except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law. As of December 31, 2002, the Trust had approximately 1,078 Beneficiaries of record and 25,939,116 units of Beneficial Interest outstanding. 7 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. The following selected unaudited financial data of the Trust are qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements, related notes thereto and other financial data included elsewhere herein. The operating results reflected are for the period January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002. These historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in the future. OPERATING RESULTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (Unaudited) (FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2002 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2002) ----------- Increase in net assets $1,193,301 Increase in net assets per beneficial unit before distributions $ 0.05 Distributions to Beneficiaries per beneficial unit $ 0.75 NET ASSET DATA (AT DECEMBER 31, 2002) Total assets $8,804,800 Total liabilities $140,646 Beneficiaries' net assets in liquidation $8,664,154 Net asset value per beneficial unit $0.33 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data (Item 6) and the Unaudited Financial Statements and Notes thereto (Item 8). The unaudited financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for an entity in liquidation. 8 Pacific Gulf Properties Liquidating Trust (the "Trust"), a grantor trust, was formed in order to liquidate the assets and liabilities transferred to it by Pacific Gulf Properties Inc ("PGP") and to distribute the net funds remaining following such liquidation to the former shareholders of PGP. The Trust began operations on August 23, 2001 when PGP transferred certain of its assets (consisting primarily of cash, a note receivable and two parcels of real property), subject to certain identified liabilities, to the Trust. The Trustee is charged with the duty to operate the Trust, liquidate its remaining assets, provide for and satisfy its remaining liabilities and make distributions to the Beneficiaries of the Trust. The Trust recorded an increase in net assets before distributions to beneficiaries of $1,193,301($0.05 per unit) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net assets primarily resulted from the gain on property sold, property operating income (which is defined as rental income less property operating expense and real estate taxes), interest income and general and administrative expense. In May 2002, the Trust sold 122,253 square feet of the Sacramento Property that was transferred to it by PGP for an aggregate sale price of $6,138,000 and realized proceeds, net of closing costs of approximately $201,000, of approximately $5,937,000. The results for the period ended December 31, 2001 are not comparable to any prior period because the Trust began operations as of August 23, 2001. At December 31, 2002, the Trust had assets of $8,804,800. The Trustee believes that its cash resources, receivables and remaining one property are sufficient to meet all anticipated liquidity requirements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Trust is presently exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of the short maturity of the financial instruments comprising its portfolio of cash and cash equivalents. 9 ITEM 8.

See Notes to Financial Statements. 13 PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. NATURE OF ORGANIZATION The Pacific Gulf Properties Liquidating Trust (the Trust) was established pursuant to the Pacific Gulf Liquidating Trust Agreement dated August 23, 2001 (the Trust Agreement), by and between Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association (the Trustee) and Pacific Gulf Properties, Inc. (PGP). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2001 (the Merger Agreement), by and between Fountain Glen Properties LLC (FGP) and PGP, certain assets and liabilities of PGP were transferred to the Trust on August 23, 2001, and PGP merged (the Merger) with and into FGP and ceased its separate corporate existence. The Trust was formed in order to liquidate the assets and liabilities so transferred to it and to distribute the net funds remaining following such liquidation to the former shareholders of PGP (the Beneficiaries). Interests in the Trust (Beneficial Interests) are not assignable or transferable except by will, interstate succession or operation of law. The common stock transfer books of PGP were permanently closed on August 23, 2001. All shareholders of PGP at that time were deemed to be Beneficiaries of the Trust. There were 25,939,116 units of beneficial interest outstanding on the basis of one unit of beneficial interest for each common share of PGP held on August 23, 2001. The Trust Agreement sets forth a time limit of three years for the disposition of the Trust's assets and distribution to the Beneficiaries, unless a later termination is required by the Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Trust considers all demand accounts, money market funds, and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. Interest income and realized and unrealized gains are included in investment income in the statement of changes in net assets. Investment income consisted of the following for the periods ended December 31: 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income $ 122,405 $ 163,317 Realized gains (losses) (475) 12,023 Interest on not receivable 316,528 195,590 ---------------------- $ 438,458 $ 370,930 ====================== PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE: Property held for sale is recorded at the amount which the Trustee believes will be realized from the sale of the property. As a result, costs associated with the property that would affect the ultimate sales proceeds (i.e., prepaid rents, accounts receivable, property tax, commission or security deposit liabilities) are incorporated into this estimate. As a result, no specific receivables or payables related to the property held for sale are reflected in the statement of net assets. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: The Trust is presently exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of the short maturity of the financial instruments comprising its portfolio of cash equivalents. In addition, the Trust maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the Trust account which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses in such accounts. 14 PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INCOME TAX STATUS: The Trust is considered a liquidating trust and is exempt from paying income taxes under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable sections of state statutes. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. All assets have been estimated at net realizable value, and liabilities are reflected at their estimated settlement amounts, if determinable. The valuation of certain assets and liabilities has been estimated by the Trustee as of the date of the financial statements. One such estimate is the valuation of the property held for sale. Due to inherent uncertainties, actual realization of the assets and settlement of liabilities could be materially different from the amounts indicated. NOTE 3. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUST The Trust assumed all asserted and unasserted liabilities arising out of PGP's ownership of assets. Liabilities transferred to the Trust included Purchase Agreement Liabilities and Post-Merger Adjustments, as defined in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Purchase Agreement Liabilities consisted of potential claims by purchasers with respect to seven named properties. With the exception of the Commerce Park -- Sacramento, a portion of which has not been sold, no Purchase Agreement Liabilities have been incurred by the Trust. The Trustee does not anticipate any liabilities as a result of the Commerce Park -- Sacramento. Post-Merger Adjustments would result in a liability to the Trust in the event that net working capital (as defined in the Merger Agreement with FGP) was less than $1 million or if there were any disputed amounts that would have resulted in a decrease of cash consideration by FGP. A Post-Merger Adjustment of $137,395 (see Note 7) was paid to FGP during the year ended December 31, 2002. Assets transferred to the Trust consisted of: Assets transferred August 23, 2001: Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,256,330 Note receivable 10,750,000 Properties held for sale: City of Industry $ 17,649,645 Commerce Park-- Sacramento 10,943,865 ------------ Total property held for sale 28,593,510 Cash from City of Industry property to be transferred (Note 5) 215,618 ------------ Total assets transferred to Trust $ 52,815,458 ============ 15 PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENT Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following: As of December 31 -------------------------- 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depository accounts and money market funds $ 1,680,382 $ 144,245 Corporate promissory notes (maturities less than three months) -- 4,718,384 -------------------------- Total cash and cash equivalents $ 1,680,382 $ 4,862,629 ========================== As of December 31, 2002, the Trust held a promissory note, maturing in 2003, with a fair market value of $500,420. Article 5.7 of the Liquidating Trust Agreement contains provisions in which excess cash balances (as defined by the Trust Agreement) must be maintained. In the event there are pending Post-Merger Adjustments (see Note 3), an excess cash balance of $5 million must be maintained. As of December 31, 2001, $137,395 was payable to FGP (see Note 7) for Post-Merger Adjustments. In addition to the aforementioned requirement, an excess cash balance of $10 million must be maintained until the earlier of such time as loss mitigation insurance of $10 million is obtained or the specified lawsuit is settled. As of December 31, 2001, excess cash balances (as defined by the Trust Agreement) of $15,612,629 (cash and cash equivalents of $4,862,629 and a note receivable of $10,750,000) were maintained. As of December 31, 2002, there were no pending Post-Merger Adjustments, and the specified lawsuit had been settled. As a result, no excess cash balance is required to be maintained as of December 31, 2002. NOTE 5. PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE A summary of property held for sale follows: Properties transferred from PGP to the Trust (Note 3) $ 28,593,510 Less: Value of property sold in November 2001 (17,649,645) ------------ Property held for sale at December 31, 2001 10,943,865 Less: Value of property sold in May 2002 (5,481,564) ------------ Property held for sale at December 31, 2002 $ 5,462,301 ============ During 2001, the Trust completed the sale of the City of Industry property for an aggregate sale price of $18,000,000. The Trust realized net proceeds (after the reduction of related costs) of approximately $17,200,000.

Residual operating cash of $569,751 (operating income of $354,133 and cash to be transferred to the Trust of $215,618) was transferred to the Trust during 2002. During 2002, the Trust subdivided and sold a portion of a 269,146-square-foot industrial property located in Sacramento, California (the Sacramento property), for an aggregate sale price of $6,137,500. The Trust realized net proceeds (after the reduction of related costs) of approximately $5,937,000. The property generated operating income of $730,703 and $425,583 during the year ended December 31, 2002, and the period from August 23, 2001, through December 31, 2001, respectively.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT The Trust entered into a management agreement with PGP Partners, Inc. (Manager) and PGP, whereby PGP Partners, Inc. will manage and market the Sacramento property. The agreement may be terminated with one month's notice or upon sale of the property. The agreement provides for commissions to be paid to the Manager for the execution of lease agreements and occupancy of rental units. Commissions to be paid are defined in the agreement and generally range from 1.5 percent to 6 percent.
