Burnham Pacific Announces First Quarter 2000 Results

    SAN DIEGO, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Burnham Pacific Properties, Inc.
(NYSE: BPP) announced today operating results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2000.
    Funds From Operations ("FFO") for the first quarter of 2000 on a
fully-diluted basis was $6.3 million or $0.20 per share (based on
32,283,000 shares), as compared to $10.1 million or $0.27 per share (based on
37,112,000 shares) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  Fully-diluted FFO
for the first quarter of 2000 does not assume the conversion of the Company's
convertible preferred stock and other common stock equivalents because such
conversion would be accretive to the Company.  Fully-diluted FFO for the first
quarter of 1999 does not assume the conversion of the Company's convertible
preferred stock but does assume conversion of other common stock equivalents.
FFO for both the 1999 and 2000 periods is calculated in accordance with the
revised definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) effective January 1,
2000.  FFO is considered the primary earnings measure for equity REITs.
    First quarter earnings are in line with the Company's expectations, and
the results are consistent with the dilutive effects for the year 2000
referred to in the Company's 1999 fourth quarter earnings release.  The
expected year-over-year decline in FFO for the quarter was primarily
attributable to lower revenues resulting from asset sales occurring subsequent
to March 31, 1999, a decrease in lease termination fees, and an increase in
borrowing costs which is partially due to the refinancing of the Company's
line of credit during the fourth quarter of 1999.  We anticipate that the
foregoing dilutive effects will continue to impact the Company's earnings.
    J. David Martin, Burnham Pacific's Chief Executive Officer and President,
commented, "We continue active discussions with certain interested parties in
pursuit of strategic alternatives.  We are also continuing the sale of
selected assets to reduce debt and increase our financial flexibility."

    Review of Results
    For the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, revenues decreased
$4.0 million to $31.1 million from $35.1 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Including the one-time revenue and expense items referenced below, net income
available to common shareholders was ($80,000) as compared to $311,000 or
$0.01 per share for the prior year period.
    Revenues in the 2000 and 1999 three-month periods included one-time lease
termination fees of $76,000 and $762,000, respectively.  The 2000 three-month
period was unfavorably impacted by costs of $339,000 associated with the
Company's pursuit of strategic alternatives.  The 1999 three-month period was
unfavorably impacted by costs of $1.5 million related to the Company's
decision to outsource its property management function to third-party
providers, $748,000 associated with the abandonment of prospective acquisition
transactions in process prior to the AMB portfolio acquisition, and
$1.9 million recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.

    Leasing Results
    The Company executed leases for approximately 233,000 square feet during
the first quarter at a weighted average rent of $17.05 per square foot per
year, with approximately 73,000 square feet representing space not previously
occupied, and approximately 120,000 square feet representing renewals of
existing tenants.  Of the total, approximately 25,000 square feet was leased
to anchor tenants (tenants greater than 14,000 square feet) at a weighted
average rent of $12.00 per square foot per year, as compared to a weighted
average rent for anchor tenants in the Company's overall portfolio of
$9.35 per square foot per year; and approximately 208,000 square feet was
leased to non-anchor tenants at a weighted average rent of $17.66 per square
foot per year, as compared to a weighted average rent for non-anchor tenants
in the Company's overall portfolio of $16.42 per square foot per year.
    Rental rates on renewals increased approximately 7% over the previous
rates.  Same-store net operating income increased 2.7% in the current quarter,
as compared to the same quarter a year ago, and economic occupancy at
March 31, 2000 was 91.4%.
