Burnham Pacific Announces Second Quarter 2001 Results

    SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Burnham Pacific Properties, Inc.
(NYSE: BPP) today announced operating results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2001.

    Review of Results

    For the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, revenues decreased $16,349,000
to $13,698,000 from $30,047,000 in the second quarter of 2000.  This decrease
is primarily attributable to asset sales completed since June of 2000,
partially offset by an increase in rental revenues from development and
redevelopment properties being placed into service.  Net income available to
common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $3,435,000,
or $0.11 per share, as compared to a net loss of $3,723,000 for the second
quarter of 2000.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company not
recording depreciation and amortization expenses in 2001 subsequent to the
adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting on December 15, 2000.  If, for
comparison purposes, depreciation and amortization expenses were eliminated in
the second quarter of 2000, then net income available to common stockholders
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 would have been $3,182,000.
    For the six months ended June 30, 2001, revenues decreased $21,735,000 to
$38,975,000 from $60,710,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Rental
revenues decreased $20,562,000 primarily as a result of asset sales completed
since June of 2000, partially offset by an increase in rental revenues from
development and redevelopment properties being placed into service.
Management fee income decreased $803,000 as a result of the termination of the
Company's former joint venture with the State of California Public Employees'
Retirement System.  Net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 was $6,651,000, as compared to a net loss of
$3,803,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This increase was
primarily attributable to the Company not recording depreciation and
amortization expenses in 2001 subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation
basis of accounting on December 15, 2000.  If, for comparison purposes,
depreciation and amortization expenses were eliminated for the first six
months of 2000, then net income available to common stockholders for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 would have been $9,590,000.

    Funds From Operations

    The Company has historically reported Funds From Operations (FFO) because
it is generally accepted in the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry
as a meaningful supplemental measure of performance.  However, because the
Company is liquidating, it no longer believes that FFO is meaningful to
understanding its performance and is therefore no longer reporting FFO.

    Adjustment to Liquidation Basis of Accounting

    As a result of the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company's
Board of Directors and its approval by the Company's stockholders, the Company
adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for all periods subsequent to
December 15, 2000.  Accordingly, on December 16, 2000, assets were adjusted to
estimated net realizable value and liabilities were adjusted to estimated
settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the
liquidation.  The valuation of real estate held for sale as of June 30, 2001
is based on current contracts, estimates as determined by independent
appraisals or other indications of sales value.  This valuation is net of
estimated selling costs, and capital expenditures of approximately $14,742,000
anticipated during the liquidation period.  The net adjustment at December 16,
2000, required to convert from the going concern (historical cost) basis to
the liquidation basis of accounting, amounted to a negative adjustment of
$85,228,000, which is included in the December 31, 2000 Consolidated Statement
of Changes in Net Assets (liquidation basis).  Further adjustments were
included in the June 30, 2001 Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets
(liquidation basis) to reflect additional capital expenditures and lower than
anticipated closing costs.  Increases (decreases) in the carrying value of net
assets are summarized as follows:

                                                                 Six Months
                                                                    Ended
                                                                June 30, 2001
     Increase to reflect estimated net realizable values of
      certain real estate properties                                $60,000
     Recognition of deferred gain upon sale of certain
      properties                                                  3,859,000
     Decrease to reflect estimated net realizable value of
      real estate                                                (1,331,000)
     Decrease to reflect net realizable value of Investments in
      Unconsolidated Subsidiaries                                  (467,000)
     Reserve for estimated costs during the period of liquidation  (285,000)
     Effect of minority interest on adjustment to liquidation
      basis                                                         397,000
     Adjustment to reflect the change to liquidation basis of
      accounting                                                 $2,233,000

    Adjusting assets to estimated net realizable value resulted in the
write-up of certain real estate properties and the write-down of other real
estate properties.  The anticipated gains associated with the write-up of
certain properties have been deferred until their sales, and the anticipated
losses associated with the write-down of other certain properties have been
included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes of Net Assets.
    Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company is required to
estimate and accrue the costs associated with executing the Plan of
Liquidation.  These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things,
the timing and realized proceeds from property sales, the costs of retaining
personnel and one or more trustees to oversee the liquidation, including the
cost of insurance, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known
and contingent liabilities and the costs associated with cessation of the
Company's operations.  These costs are estimates and are expected to be paid
during the liquidation period.

    Since the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company's Board of
Directors in August 2000 through August 9, 2001, the Company has sold

    This press release contains forward-looking statements that predict or
indicate future events or trends or that do not relate to historical matters.
There are a number of important factors that could cause actual events to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: we may be
unsuccessful in implementing our liquidation strategy; we may not be able to
complete the liquidation in a timely manner or realize proceeds from the sales
of assets in amounts that will enable us to provide currently anticipated
liquidating distributions to our stockholders; we have outstanding
indebtedness maturing at various times during 2001, and we may be unable to
repay, refinance, replace or extend any or all of this indebtedness on terms
that are favorable to the Company, or at all; and occupancy rates and market
rents may be adversely affected by economic and market conditions which are
beyond our control, including imbalances in supply and demand for retail
shopping center space and the financial condition of our tenants.

    You should also read the risk factors that are discussed in the Company's
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
the risk factors that were disclosed in our Form 10-K which was filed with the
SEC on April 3, 2001.  You should be aware that the risk factors contained in
that Form 10-K may not be exhaustive.  Therefore, we recommend that you read
the information in that Form 10-K together with other reports and documents
that we file with the SEC from time to time, including our Forms 10-K, 10-Q
and 8-K and Proxy Statements, which may supplement, modify, supersede or
update those risk factors.
