Burnham Pacific Announces Second Quarter 1998 Results

    SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Burnham Pacific Properties, Inc.
(NYSE: BPP) today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30,
1998.  For the second quarter, diluted Funds From Operations ("FFO") was
$13,921,000 or $0.34 per share, up 9.7 percent on a per-share basis, as
compared to $6,596,000 or $0.31 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Basic FFO per share increased 16.1 percent to $0.36 per share as compared to
$0.31 per share for the second quarter of 1997.  Diluted FFO for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 was $24,573,000 or $0.67 per share, up 11.7 percent
on a per-share basis, as compared to $11,566,000 or $0.60 per share for the
prior six-month period. Basic FFO per share increased 16.7 percent to $0.70
per share as compared to $0.60 per share for the first half of 1997.  FFO is
calculated based on the revised definition adopted by the Board of Governors
of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) and is
considered a primary earnings measure for equity REITs.

    Review of Results
    For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to the prior year period,
revenues grew $15,138,000 from $16,987,000 to $32,125,000.  Net income
available to common shareholders was $5,112,000 or $0.16 per share (both basic
and diluted) as compared to $3,444,000 or $0.16 per share (both basic and
diluted) for the prior three-month period.
    For the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the prior year period,
revenues grew $32,028,000 from $29,964,000 to $61,992,000.  Net income
available to common shareholders was $7,248,000 or $0.26 per share (both basic
and diluted) as compared to $5,028,000 or $0.26 per share (both basic and
diluted) for the prior six-month period.
    Revenues for both the quarter and six-month period were positively
impacted by a lease termination fee of $1,795,000.  Without the benefit of
this fee, results were less than management's expectations.  Revenues were
less than anticipated due to a slower-than-expected leasing of the core
portfolio and new property acquisitions, due, in part, to the need to absorb
the 29 properties purchased in the fourth quarter of 1997.  Expenses were
higher than anticipated due to non-recurring third-party management fees
incurred in connection with the absorption of the fourth quarter acquisitions,
expensing of internal acquisition costs, and increased staffing in
anticipation of the Company's proposed new relationship with CalPERS.
    Total assets increased to $1,062,435,000 at June 30, 1998, from
$529,969,000 a year earlier.  Total outstanding debt increased to
$544,857,000, of which $375,063,000 was fixed at a weighted average interest
rate of 7.68 percent; $137,869,000 was variable rate debt incurred under the
Company's line of credit, which bears interest at a weighted average rate of
LIBOR plus 1.43 percent; and $31,925,000 was a construction loan secured by
one of the Company's development properties, which bears interest at LIBOR
plus 1.90 percent.
    Weighted average common shares outstanding increased to 31,911,000 from
21,203,000 in the year ago period.  This increase occurred primarily as a
result of a 7,475,000 share offering (including the underwriters' over-
allotment option) which was completed on March 30, 1998.  In addition, on
March 30, 1998, the Company sold 965,518 shares of stock to a Unit Investment
Trust managed by Everen Securities.

    Acquisitions
    Operating results for the second quarter also benefited from the Company's

portfolio of non-mall retail in the western United States.  The Company
expects that its co-investment and management activities with CalPERS will
commence at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

    J. David Martin, Burnham Pacific's CEO, commented on the Company's results
for the first half of the year, "Notwithstanding financial results slightly
below our expectations, we are satisfied with our efforts for the first half
of this year.  We have absorbed the 29 properties purchased in the fourth
quarter of 1997, as well as the 11 new assets we have acquired this year.  We
are now fully staffed with our new middle management team and are focused on
the expansion of our relationship with CalPERS.  We continue to be the largest
owner of shopping centers in the West, and with our new capital, we intend to
continue our growth within the region.  We are well positioned for 1999."
