               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
               --------------------------------------------------

                                DECEMBER 31, 2001
                                -----------------

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
      ----------------------

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the
operations of Beaver Valley Mall ("Beaver Valley Mall") located in Beaver
Valley, Pennsylvania. Beaver Valley Mall was acquired by PR Beaver Valley
Limited Partnership ("PR Beaver Valley") from the California Public Employees'
Retirement System ("CalPERS") in April 2002 for a purchase price of
approximately $60,750,000. PR Beaver Valley is indirectly wholly-owned by PREIT
Associates, L.P., of which Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the
"Company") is the sole general partner.

This statement of revenue and certain expenses is to be included in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A-1 as the above described transaction has
been deemed significant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Beaver Valley Mall has an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately
1,171,000 square feet, and was approximately 90% leased as of December 31, 2001.
The gross leasable area includes stores with an aggregate gross leasable area of
277,000 square feet that are not owned by PR Beaver Valley, some of which have
ground lease agreements with PR Beaver Valley.

The accompanying financial statement excludes certain expenses such as interest,
depreciation and amortization and other costs not directly related to the future
operations of Beaver Valley Mall.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.    OPERATING LEASES:
      -----------------

Minimum rent includes straight-line adjustments for rental revenue increases in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The aggregate rental
revenue increase resulting from the straight-line adjustment for the year ended
December 31, 2001 was $58,000.

One tenant, Boscov's, had minimum rental payments greater than 10% of the total
minimum rent in 2001 totaling $800,000.





Beaver Valley Mall is leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration
dates extending to the year 2018. Future minimum rentals under noncancelable
operating leases, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses as of
December 31, 2001, are as follows:

            2002                                $ 7,681,000
            2003                                  7,141,000
            2004                                  6,900,000
            2005                                  6,535,000
            2006                                  5,411,000
            2007 and thereafter                  28,218,000
                                                -----------
                                                $61,886,000
                                                ===========

Certain leases also include provisions requiring tenants to reimburse Beaver
Valley Mall for management costs and other operating expenses up to stipulated
amounts.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
   ---------------------------

In 2001, Beaver Valley Mall paid management fees of $498,000 to PREIT-RUBIN,
Inc., the Company's wholly-owned property management affiliate. Beaver Valley
Mall and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. were not related parties prior to PR Beaver Valley's
acquisition of Beaver Valley Mall in 2002. Such management fees have been
excluded from this statement because they will not be incurred by Beaver Valley
Mall in the future.

4.  COMMITMENTS:
    ------------

As of December 31, 2001, Beaver Valley Mall was obligated under a ground lease
agreement extending to 2066 for a portion of the land on which Beaver Valley
Mall is situated. This agreement provided for annual payments of $28,000.

Concurrent with its acquisition of Beaver Valley Mall, PR Beaver Valley also
purchased this portion of the land for an additional $500,000. As a result of
this purchase, subsequent to the acquisition date, there will be no further
payments due under the ground lease agreement. Accordingly, the ground lease
rent expense for 2001 was excluded from operating expenses in the accompanying
financial statement.





                    PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
                      PRO FORMA COMBINING BALANCE SHEET AND
                          COMBINING STATEMENT OF INCOME

         The following sets forth the pro forma combining balance sheet of
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Company" or "Registrant") as of
December 31, 2001 and the pro forma combining income statement for the year
ended December 31, 2001 to give effect to the acquisition of Beaver Valley Mall
on April 4, 2002.

         The unaudited pro forma combining financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Registrant and
Beaver Valley Mall and the related notes thereto. In management's opinion, all
adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the transaction have been made.

         The pro forma combining balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 presents
combined financial information as if the acquisition of Beaver Valley Mall had
taken place on December 31, 2001. The pro forma combining statement of income
for the year ended December 31, 2001 presents combined financial information as
if the acquisition of Beaver Valley Mall had taken place on January 1, 2001. PR
Beaver Valley Limited Partnership, which is wholly-owned by PREIT Associates,
L.P., of which the Registrant is the sole general partner, purchased Beaver
Valley Mall on April 4, 2002 for a purchase price of $60,750,000. The purchase
price was financed through mortgage and bank loan borrowings of $48,000,000 and
$10,000,000, respectively, and the remainder was paid in cash. This acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

         The pro forma combining financial information is unaudited and is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual combined financial position or
combined results of operations of the Registrant would have been had the
transaction described above been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor does
it purport to represent the future financial position and the results of
operations of the Registrant.
