ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

Bedford Property Investors, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed
equity REIT engaged in the business of owning, managing, acquiring and
developing industrial and suburban office properties proximate to
metropolitan areas primarily in the Western United States. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company owned and operated, either directly or
through wholly-owned subsidiaries, 93 properties aggregating
approximately 7.5 million rentable square feet and comprised of 69
industrial properties (the "Industrial Properties") and 24 suburban
office properties (the "Suburban Office Properties" and, together with
the Industrial Properties, the "Properties"). The portfolio includes 2
properties which were under rehabilitation on December 31, 1998. As of
December 31, 1998, the 91 operating Properties were approximately 96%
leased with over 540 tenants. The Properties are located in Northern and
Southern California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado,
Texas, Kansas, and Missouri.

The Company seeks to grow its asset base through the acquisition of
industrial and suburban office properties and portfolios of such
properties, as well as through the development of new industrial and
suburban office properties. The Company's strategy is to operate in
suburban markets that are experiencing, or are expected by the Company
to experience, superior economic growth and that are subject to
limitations on the development of similar properties. The Company
believes that employment growth is a reliable indicator of future demand
for both industrial and suburban office space. In addition, the Company
believes that certain supply-side constraints, such as limited
availability of undeveloped land in a market, increase a market's
potential for higher average rents over time. The Company continues to
target selected markets in which the Properties are located as well as
selected other markets in which the Company has expertise.

Business Objectives and Growth Plan

Business Objectives

The Company's business objective is to increase stockholders' long-term
total return through increases in the dividend and the appreciation in
value of the Common Stock. To achieve this objective, the Company seeks
to (i) increase cash flow from its existing Properties, (ii) acquire
quality industrial and suburban office properties and/or portfolios of
such properties, and (iii) develop new industrial and suburban office
properties.

Internal Growth

The Company seeks to increase cash flow from existing Properties through
(i) the lease-up of vacant space, (ii) the reduction of costs associated
with tenant turnover through the retention of existing tenants, (iii) the
negotiation of increases in rental rates and of contractual periodic rent
increases when market conditions permit, and (iv) the strict containment
of operating expenses and capital expenditures.

During 1998, leases for 1,326,200 square feet expired with a weighted
average base rental rate of $7.99 per square foot. Approximately 87% of
this space has been re-leased, and the weighted average base rental rate
of the new leases is $9.52 per square foot, an increase of 19%. Changes
in average rental rate do not reflect changes in expense recovery rates,
if any. In addition, past performance is not necessarily indicative of
results that will be obtained in the future, and no assurance can be
given in that regard.

Acquisitions

The Company seeks to acquire industrial and suburban office properties
and/or portfolios of such properties. The Company believes that (i) the
experience of its management team, (ii) its conservative capital
structure, and available borrowings under its existing $175 million
credit facility, (iii) its relationships with private and institutional
real estate owners, (iv) its strong relationships with real estate
brokers, and (v) its integrated asset management program enable it to
effectively identify and capitalize on acquisition opportunities. Each
acquisition opportunity is reviewed to evaluate whether it meets the
following criteria: (i) potential for higher occupancy levels and/or
rents as well as for lower turnover and/or operating expenses, (ii)
ability to generate returns in excess of the Company's weighted average
cost of capital, taking into account the estimated costs associated with
tenant turnover (i.e., tenant improvements, leasing commissions and the
loss of income due to vacancy), and (iii) availability for purchase at
a price at or below estimated replacement cost. The Company has,
however, acquired and may in the future acquire properties which do not
meet one or more of these criteria. This may be particularly true with
the acquisition of a portfolio of properties, which may include
individual properties that do not meet one or more of the foregoing
criteria.

Following completion of an initial review, the Company may make a
purchase offer, subject to satisfactory completion of its due diligence
process. The due diligence process enables us to refine our original
estimate of a property's potential performance and typically includes a
complete review and analysis of the property's physical structure,
systems, environmental status and projected financial performance, as
well as an evaluation of the local market and competitive properties and
of relevant economic and demographic information. Mr. Bedford (the Chief
Executive Officer) and at least one other officer of the Company
typically visit each proposed acquisition property before the purchase
is closed.

The Company's activities relating to the acquisition of new properties,
including the due diligence process, are conducted on an exclusive basis
by Bedford Acquisitions, Inc. (BAI), a California corporation wholly-
owned by Mr. Bedford. BAI receives fees in amounts equal to the lesser
of (i) 1 1/2% of the gross amount of the aggregate purchase price of
property acquisitions and dispositions plus 5% of development project
costs, or (ii) an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount of approved
expenses funded by BAI through the time of such acquisition, disposition
or development minus (b) the aggregate amount of fees previously paid to
BAI pursuant to such arrangement. In no event will the aggregate amount
of fees paid to BAI exceed the aggregate amount of costs funded by BAI.
The agreement with BAI has a term of one year and is renewable at the
option of the Company for additional one year terms. The current
agreement will expire January 1, 2000.

Development

The Company seeks to develop properties in markets where (i) strong
demand for space has caused or is expected to cause occupancy rates to
remain high, and (ii) there is a limited supply of land available for new
development. The Company's management team has experience in all phases
of the development process, including market analysis, site selection,
zoning, design, pre-development leasing, construction and permanent
financing and construction management. The Company believes that a
general decrease in competition in development activity as well as higher
occupancy rates in most of the Company's markets will lead to additional
attractive development opportunities. The Company is currently in the
process of developing properties in Northern California, Arizona and
Washington, and is considering developing additional properties in
Northern California, Southern California, Arizona, Colorado and
Washington. The Company's management team has significant development
experience in each of these markets. In 1998 the shell construction of
five properties representing 322,000 square feet of industrial space and
office space was started.

Corporate Strategies

In pursuing its business objectives and growth plans, the Company intends
to:

1. Pursue a Market Driven Strategy.

The Company's strategy is to operate in suburban markets which are
experiencing, or are expected by the Company to experience, economic
growth, and which are, ideally, subject to supply-side constraints. The
Company believes that the metropolitan areas in which it operates have
multiple suburban "cores" and that the potential for growth in these
metropolitan areas is generally greatest in and around these suburban
cores. The Company believes that such suburban cores emerge as jobs move
to the suburbs and typically offer a well-trained and well-educated work
force, high quality of life and, in many cases, a diversified economic
base. The Company focuses on owning, managing, acquiring and developing
properties in these suburban cores. Additionally, the Company seeks out
real estate markets that are subject to supply-side constraints such as
limited availability of undeveloped land and/or geographic, topographic,
regulatory and/or infrastructure restrictions. The Company believes that
such restrictions limit the supply of new commercial space, which, when
combined with a growing employment and population base, enhances the
long-term return potential for an investment in real estate assets.

2. Focus its Efforts in the Western United States.

The Company is currently targeting selected suburban markets in the
Western United States. The Company believes that due to continued
economic improvements in these markets, and related improvements in the
commercial property markets, an investment in industrial or suburban
office properties in these markets provides the potential for attractive
returns through increased occupancy levels, rents and real estate values.
The Company believes that this geographic focus, combined with
management's market experience, contributes to a more thorough
understanding of these industrial and suburban office property markets
and allows the Company to anticipate trends and therefore to better
identify investment opportunities.

3. Acquire and Develop "Service Center/Flex" Industrial
Properties.

One of the Company's targeted property types is "service center/flex"
industrial properties. These properties are generally smaller than other
industrial buildings and are divisible into units ranging from
approximately 1,500 square feet to approximately 20,000 square feet in
order to accommodate multiple tenants of various sizes and needs. The
buildings generally range in size from 8,000 to 80,000 square feet, have
a clear height of 12 to 18 feet and are built using concrete tilt
construction with store fronts incorporated in the front elevation and
grade level service doors in the back elevation. The Company believes
that these properties require more management expertise than other types
of industrial properties and that it has developed such expertise. The
Company also believes that many potential buyers do not wish or are not
well-positioned to undertake such active management. As a result, the
Company believes that it often faces fewer competitors for this product
and is generally able to acquire these properties at above average
yields.

4. Maximize its Capital Structure.

As of December 31, 1998 the Company's total market capitalization was
$612 million. With a debt to total market capitalization ratio of 37%,
the Company believes that it is well positioned for future growth.
Funding of new acquisitions and development is expected to be provided
by a combination of debt and limited asset sales. The Company currently
intends to take advantage of the low interest rates by locking in long
term debt financing on a portion of its portfolio. At the same time, the
Company intends to preserve its financing flexibility through the use of
short term debt facilities such as its existing $175 million bank line
of credit.



Transactions and Significant Events During 1998

Acquisitions and Development

During the year, the Company acquired 18 Properties, including ten
Industrial Properties, six Suburban Office Properties and two
Properties under rehabilitation, aggregating approximately 1.3 million
rentable square feet, for a total investment of approximately $152
million. At acquisition, the Company estimated that these Properties
would provide an initial weighted average unleveraged return on cost
(computed as annualized property NOI at the date of acquisition
divided by the total acquisition cost) of 9.15%. The Company
estimates the purchase price of acquisitions completed in 1998 to be
approximately 91% of the replacement costs.

The Company also acquired 6 parcels of vacant land aggregating
approximately 26 acres for a total investment of approximately $8.2
million, 3 of which were adjacent to existing Properties. The Company
plans to develop industrial or office properties on each of these
parcels when market conditions warrant new construction.

Development activity during the year included (i) the initial lease up
of the four projects constructed in 1997, adding 107,374 rentable
square feet to the available inventory (as of December 31, 1998, these
projects were approximately 71% occupied); (ii) completion of
construction and occupancy of the 297,228 square foot Adobe project in
Seattle, which was under construction at the time of acquisition; and
(iii) commencement of construction of five new projects which are
expected to add approximately 322,000 rentable square feet to the
inventory of available space in 1999. The Company believes that this
new leasable space should provide it with a significant opportunity to
increase its operating revenue.

The Company's Markets

The Properties are located in select markets proximate to metropolitan
areas in Northern and Southern California, Oregon, Washington,
Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Kansas and Missouri. From
1994 through the early part of 1998 most of these markets were
recovering from the economic recession of the early 1990's. During
this recovery, these markets were characterized by strong demand for
commercial property without significant increases in supply. The
Company believes that this "recovery phase" of the economic cycle for
the real estate market came to an end during 1998 and that we are now
entering an "equilibrium phase" where supply and demand for properties
are more or less in balance. Accordingly, the Company expects
commercial property values during this equilibrium phase to be driven
less by supply and demand imbalances and more by continuing economic
strength in these markets. The Company believes that this continuing
economic strength should result in high occupancy levels, increasing
rents and potentially increasing real estate values.

In particular, the Company believes that continuing economic growth in
the San Francisco Bay Area (where 35% of the square footage of the
Company's Properties is located) and Seattle (where 10% of the square
footage of the Company's Properties is located) will result in strong
returns on its properties in those markets during the coming year.
The Company believes that these markets are particularly attractive as
a result of the excellent quality of life they offer and their limited
supply of new commercial real estate resulting from environmental
concerns and geographic barriers. In fact the 1999 edition of
Emerging Trends in Real Estate, a publication of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Lend Lease Real Estate Investments,
ranked San Francisco, for the third consecutive year, and Seattle, for
the second consecutive year, as the number one and number two
investment markets for this equilibrium phase of the real estate
cycle.

Despite this positive outlook, the Company's markets (particularly the
San Francisco Bay Area) remain susceptible to the current economic
downturn in Asia. During the first half of 1998, sources have
indicated that California's exports to East Asia fell by 17.5%
compared to the first half of 1997. Although the Company believes
that the effect of this manufacturing slowdown on the California real
estate market has been largely offset by strong demand

for California's products in the U.S. and Europe, there can be no
assurance that a more sustained economic downturn in Asia will not
have an adverse effect on California's manufacturing sector and
accordingly on the California real estate market and the Company's
portfolio.

Operating Performance

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company reported income
before gain on sale of $31,496,000 or $1.38 per diluted share, on
rental revenues of $73,451,000, compared with income before gain on
sale of $19,758,000 or $1.23 per diluted share, on rental revenues of
$46,377,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company's Funds
From Operations ("FFO": see definition under "Selected Financial
Data") for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $42,312,000 as
compared to $25,582,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Increase in Dividends on Common Stock

On December 7, 1998, the Company announced a 9% increase in its
quarterly Common Stock dividend from $.33 to $.36 per share, which is
equal to $1.44 on an annualized basis. The higher dividend rate
commenced with the Company's dividend for the fourth quarter of 1998.
The Company previously announced, in May 1998, a 10%
increase in its quarterly dividend from $.30 to $.33 per share which,
together with the December 1998 increase, represents a total increase
of 17% in the Company's dividends declared for 1998 when compared with
the dividends declared for 1997.

Credit Facility

In June 1998, the Company amended and restated its secured revolving
line of credit facility led by Bank of America. Under the facility,
which matures June 2001, the Company can borrow up to $175 million on
a secured basis. The facility contains an unsecured sub-line of $50
million. The secured loans bear interest at a floating rate equal to
either the lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 1.10% to 1.35% (depending on leverage levels). The
unsecured loans bear interest at either the lender's published
"reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. As of December 31,
1998 the Company was in compliance with the covenants and requirements
of its revolving credit facility which had an outstanding balance of
$147,443,000, all of which was secured. During the first quarter of
1999, the Company entered into discussions with Bank of America
regarding a bridge facility of $28 million. This facility would
consist of secured loans, bear the same interest rates as the secured
loans under the $175 million facility and have a six-month term with
the option to extend for another six months.

Dividends

The Company has made regular quarterly distributions to the holders of
the Common Stock in each quarter since the second quarter of 1993,
having increased the dividend ten times since that time from $0.10 per
share in the second quarter of 1993 to $0.36 per share in the fourth
quarter of 1998. In March 1999, the Company declared a dividend
distribution for the first quarter 1999 to its stockholders in the
amount of $0.36 per share of Common Stock, payable 15 days after the
quarter-end.

Tenants

Based on rentable square feet, as of December 31, 1998, the Suburban
Office Properties and Industrial Properties were approximately 96%
occupied by a total of 546 tenants, of which 112 were Suburban Office
Property tenants and 434 were Industrial Property tenants. The
Company's tenants include local, regional, national and international
companies engaged in a wide variety of businesses.

Financing

The Company expects cash flow from operations to be sufficient to pay
operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative
expenses, and interest on indebtedness and to make distributions to
stockholders required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification.

The Company expects to fund the cost of acquisitions, capital
expenditures, costs associated with lease renewals and reletting of
space, repayment of indebtedness, and development of properties from
(i) cash flow from operations, (ii) borrowings under the credit
facility and, if available, other indebtedness (which may include
indebtedness assumed in acquisitions), (iii) the sale of real estate
investments, and (iv) the sale of equity securities and, possibly, the
issuance of equity securities in connection with acquisitions.

The Company does not anticipate that cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to enable it to repay amounts then outstanding under the
credit facility when it becomes due in 2001. The Company expects to
make such payment by refinancing or extending the credit facility or
by raising funds through the sale of equity securities or properties.

Insurance

The Company carries commercial general liability coverage with primary
limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate,
as well as a $20 million umbrella liability policy. This coverage
protects the Company against liability claims as well as the cost of
defense. The Company carries property insurance on a replacement
value basis covering both the cost of direct physical damage and the
loss of rental income. Separate flood and earthquake insurance is
provided with an annual aggregate limit of $20 million subject to a
deductible of 5-10% of total insurable value per building with respect
to the earthquake coverage. The Company also carries director and
officer liability insurance with an aggregate limit of $10 million.
This coverage protects the Company's directors and officers against
liability claims as well as the cost of defense.

Competition, Regulation, and Other Factors

The success of the Company depends upon, among other factors, general
economic conditions and trends, including real estate trends, interest
rates, government regulations and legislation, income tax laws and
zoning laws.

The Company's real estate investments are located in markets in which
they face significant competition for the rental revenues they
generate. Many of the Company's investments, particularly the office
buildings, are located in markets in which there is a significant
supply of available space, resulting in intense competition for
tenants and low rents.

Government Regulations

The Company's properties are subject to various federal, state and
local regulatory requirements such as local building codes and other
similar regulations. The Company believes its properties are
currently in substantial compliance with all applicable regulatory
requirements, although expenditures at its properties may be required
to comply with changes in these laws. No material expenditures are
contemplated at this time in order to comply with any such laws or
regulations.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the
costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances released on, above, under, or in such property. Such laws
often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew
of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The costs of such removal or remediation could be
substantial.

Additionally, the presence of such substances or the failure to
properly remediate such substances may adversely affect the owner's
ability to borrow using such real estate as collateral.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects
with all federal, state and local laws regarding hazardous or toxic
substances, and the Company has not been notified by any governmental
authority of any non-compliance or other claim in connection with any
of its present or former properties. Accordingly, the Company does
not currently anticipate that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will have any material adverse
impact on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity
of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that future
discoveries or events at the Company's properties, or changes to
current environmental regulations, will not result in such a material
adverse impact.

Year 2000 Compliance

In 1997 the Company purchased and put in place new information system
hardware and software to accommodate the rapid growth of its real
estate portfolio. The Company believes the new information system
hardware and software is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the
Company has evaluated Year 2000 compliance risk relative to operations
of its rental properties, and retained the services of a team of
consultants. Since January 1998, these consultants have been
conducting a survey of the Company's outside relationships (e.g.,
tenants, vendors and creditors) to assess their state of readiness in
regards to Year 2000 compliance. The survey indicates that a majority
of these parties' information systems are or will be Year 2000
compliant. In addition, the Company is performing a detailed
Information Technology review of its key outside relationships. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company has spent $10,000 on surveys and
systems reviews and expects to spend approximately $20,000 in 1999.
The Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan in the
event of non-compliance. The Company believes that Year 2000
compliance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Other Information

The Company currently employs 34 full time employees. The Company is
not dependent upon a single tenant or a limited number of tenants.

Credit Facility

In June 1998, the Company amended and restated its secured revolving
credit facility with Bank of America. Under this facility, which
matures June 15, 2001, the Company can borrow up to $175 million on a
secured basis. The facility contains an unsecured sub-line of $50
million. Secured loans bear interest at a floating rate equal to
either the lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 1.10% to 1.35% (depending on leverage levels). The
interest rate of the unsecured loans is either the lender's published
"reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The credit facility
contains various restrictive covenants including, among other things,
a covenant limiting quarterly dividends to 95% of average Funds From
Operations. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company entered
into discussions with Bank of America regarding a bridge facility of
$28 million. This facility would consist of secured loans, bear the
same interest rates as the secured loans under the $175 million
facility and have a six-month term with the option to extend for
another six months.

Comparison of 1998 to 1997
Income from Property Operations
Income from property operations (defined as rental income less rental
expenses) increased $16,108,000 or 54% in 1998 compared with 1997. This
is due to an increase in rental income of $27,074,000 offset by an
increase in rental expenses (which include operating expenses, real
estate taxes and depreciation and amortization) of $10,966,000.

The increase in rental income and expenses is primarily attributable to
the acquisition and development of real estate investments during 1998
and 1997. This acquisition and development activity increased rental
income and rental expenses in 1998 by $24,964,000 and $10,133,000,
respectively, as compared to 1997. The remaining increase in rental
income of $5,226,000 is due primarily to overall increases in property
rental rates, while the remaining increase in rental expenses of
$2,113,000 is due primarily to increases in property tax assessments,
landscaping costs and other property operating expenses. These increases
were partially offset by the sales of two office properties and one
retail property in 1997, which resulted in a reduction in rental income
and rental expenses in 1998 of $3,116,000 and $1,280,000, respectively,
as compared to 1997.

Expenses
Interest expense, which includes amortization of loan fees, increased
$3,246,000 or 41% in 1998 compared with 1997. The increase is
attributable to the Company's higher level of borrowings to finance the
acquisition and development of properties in 1998, and higher financing
costs incurred in connection with its credit facility and mortgage loans.
The amortization of loan fees was $1,013,000 and $816,000 for 1998 and
1997, respectively. General and administrative expense increased
$1,049,000 or 45% from $2,337,000 in 1997 to $3,386,000 in 1998. The
1998 general and administrative expenses included costs of $434,000
related to the Company exploring strategic alternatives including selling
its portfolio of properties. Such discussions were terminated in the
fourth quarter of 1998. Excluding these costs, general and
administrative expenses increased 26% in 1998 compared with 1997,
primarily the result of managing a larger real estate portfolio. The
1997 general and administrative expenses included $250,000 alternative
minimum tax expense the Company incurred on the retention and
reinvestment of gains on property sales.

Gain on Sale
In July 1997, the Company sold two of its Southern California office
properties for a combined sales price of approximately $25,800,000, which
resulted in a gain of $10,785,000. In October 1997, the Company sold
Academy Place Shopping Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado for a sale
price of approximately $7,500,000, which resulted in a gain of
approximately $748,000. Net operating loss carryforward was utilized to
offset substantially all of the 1997 taxable income remaining after the
deduction of dividends paid in 1997.

Dividends
The 1998 quarterly dividend declared for each share of common stock was
$0.30 for the first quarter, $0.33 for the second and third quarters,
and $0.36 for the fourth quarter. Consistent with the Company's policy,
dividends are paid in the quarter after the quarter in which they are
declared.

Comparison of 1997 to 1996

Income from Property Operations
Income from property operations (defined as rental income less rental
expenses) increased $13,268,000 or 80% in 1997 compared with 1996. This
is due to an increase in rental income of $18,836,000, offset by an
increase in rental expenses (which include operating expenses, real
estate taxes and depreciation and amortization) of $5,568,000.

The increase in rental income and expenses is primarily attributable to
the acquisition of real estate investments during 1997 and 1996. This
acquisition activity increased rental income and rental expenses in 1997
by $21,545,000 and $7,055,000, respectively, as compared to 1996. This
increase was partially offset by the sales of two office properties and
one retail property in 1997 and two industrial properties in 1996, which
generated a reduction in rental income and rental expenses in 1997 of
$3,256,000 and $1,779,000, respectively, as compared to 1996.

Expenses
Interest expense, which includes amortization of loan fees, increased
$3,571,000 or 82% in 1997 compared with 1996. The increase is
attributable to the Company's higher level of borrowings to finance the
acquisition of properties in 1997, and higher financing costs incurred
in connection with its credit facility and mortgage loans. The
amortization of loan fees was $816,000 and $650,000 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $585,000 or
33% in 1997 compared with 1996, as a result of managing a larger real
estate portfolio and as a result of the $250,000 alternative minimum tax
expense the Company incurred in 1997 on the retention and reinvestment
of gains on property sales.

Gain on Sale
In July 1997, the Company sold two of its Southern California office
properties for a combined sales price of approximately $25,800,000, which
resulted in a gain of $10,785,000. In October 1997, the Company sold
Academy Place Shopping Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado for a sale
price of approximately $7,500,000, which resulted in a gain of
approximately $748,000. Net operating loss carryforward was utilized to
offset substantially all of the 1997 taxable income remaining after the
deduction of dividends paid in 1997. In April 1996, the Company sold 3.6
acres of land adjacent to its suburban office property in Utah for
$1,000,000, receiving $950,000 in cash and a $50,000 note. The 10%
interest bearing note was paid in April 1997. The sale resulted in a
gain of $359,000. In December 1996, the Company sold two industrial
properties in St. Paul, Minnesota for a cash price of $6,705,000. The
sale resulted in a gain of $47,000.

Dividends
The 1997 quarterly dividend declared for each share of common stock was
$0.26 for the first quarter, $0.27 for the second quarter, and $0.30 for
the third and fourth quarters. Consistent with the Company's policy,
dividends are paid in the quarter after the quarter in which they are
declared. In addition, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of
$1,125,000 in each of the first two quarters of 1997 and $1,250,000 for
the third quarter of 1997 on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The preferred shares were converted into 4,166,667 shares of common stock
on October 15, 1997.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company at December 31, 1998 increased by
$164,421,000 compared with December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of
an increase in real estate investments of $167,910,000. Total
liabilities at December 31, 1998 increased by $163,386,000 compared with
December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of the increase in bank and
mortgage loan borrowings made in support of property acquisitions and
development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In June 1998, the Company amended and restated its secured revolving
credit facility with Bank of America. Under this facility, which matures
June 15, 2001, the Company can borrow up to $175 million on a secured
basis. The facility contains an unsecured sub-line of $50 million.
Secured loans bear interest at a floating rate equal to either the
lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.10% to 1.35%. The interest rate of the unsecured loans is either the
lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. As
of December 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance with the covenants
and requirements of its revolving credit facility which had an
outstanding balance of $147,443,000 and an effective interest rate of
6.48%. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company entered into
discussions with Bank of America regarding a bridge facility of $28
million. This facility would consist of secured loans, bear the same
interest rates as the secured loans under the $175 million facility and
have a six-month term with the option to extend for another six months.

The Company anticipates that the cash flow generated by its real estate
investments and funds available under the above credit facility will be
sufficient to meet its short-term liquidity requirements.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 1998, the Company's operating
activities provided cash flow of $38,949,000. Investing activities
utilized cash of $168,018,000 for real estate acquisitions. Financing
activities provided net cash flow of $128,994,000 consisting of the
proceeds from bank borrowings and mortgage loans of $179,181,000 and net
proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1,367,000, offset by
repayment of bank borrowings and mortgage loans of $20,996,000, payment
of dividends and distributions of $28,615,000, and redemption of
partnership units of $128,000. Net cash flow was also offset by the
repurchase of 111,375 shares of common stock at an average purchase price
of $16.30 per share during the fourth quarter of 1998.

The Company expects to fund the cost of acquisitions, capital expenditure
costs associated with lease renewals and reletting of space, repayment
of indebtedness, and development of properties from (i) cash flow from
operations, (ii) borrowings under the credit facility and, if available,
other indebtedness (which may include indebtedness assumed in
acquisitions), (iii) the sale of certain real estate investments, and
(iv) the sale of equity securities and, possibly, the issuance of equity
securities in connection with acquisitions.

The ability to obtain mortgage loans on income producing property is
dependent upon the ability to attract and retain tenants and the
economics of the various markets in which the properties are located, as
well as the willingness of mortgage-lending institutions to make loans
secured by real property. The ability to sell real estate investments
is partially dependent upon the ability of purchasers to obtain financing
at commercially reasonable rates.

Potential Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

Many factors affect the Company's actual financial performance and may
cause the Company's future results to be markedly outside of the
Company's current expectations. These factors include the following:

Interest Rate Fluctuations

At the present time, borrowings under the Company's credit facility bear
interest at a floating rate. The Company recognizes that its results
from operations may be negatively impacted by future increases in
interest rates and substantial additional borrowings to finance property
acquisitions.

Lease Renewals

While the Company has historically been successful in renewing and
reletting space, the Company is subject to the risk that certain leases
expiring in 1999 and beyond may not be renewed, or the terms of renewal
may be less favorable to the Company than current lease terms. The
Company expects to incur costs in making improvements or repairs to its
portfolio of properties required by new or renewing tenants and expects
to incur expenses associated with brokerage commissions payable in
connection with the reletting of space.

Inflation

Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating
expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs
and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Inflation, however,
could result in an increase in the Company's borrowing costs.

Government Regulations

The Company's properties are subject to various federal, state and local
regulatory requirements such as local building codes and other similar
regulations. The Company believes its properties are currently in
substantial compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements,
although expenditures at its properties may be required to comply with
changes in these laws. No material expenditures are contemplated at this
time in order to comply with any such laws or regulations.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations,
an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal
or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on,
above, under, or in such property. Such laws often impose such liability
without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of such
removal or remediation could be substantial.

Additionally, the presence of such substances or the failure to properly
remediate such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to
borrow using such real estate as collateral.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects
with all federal, state and local laws regarding hazardous or toxic
substances, and the Company has not been notified by any governmental
authority of any non-compliance or other claim in connection with any of
its present or former properties. Accordingly, the Company does not
currently anticipate that compliance with federal, state and local
environmental protection regulations will have any material adverse
impact on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of
the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that future discoveries
or events at the Company's properties, or changes to current
environmental regulations, will not result in such a material adverse
impact.

Financial Performance

Management considers Funds From Operations (FFO) to be one measure of the
performance of an equity REIT. FFO during the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $11,666,000 and $42,312,000,
respectively. During the same periods in 1997, FFO amounted to
$8,092,000 and $25,582,000, respectively. Funds From Operations is used
by financial analysts in evaluating REITs and can be one measure of a
REIT's ability to make cash distributions. Presentation of this
information provides the reader with an additional measure to compare the
performance of REITs. Funds From Operations generally is defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income
(loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (losses) from debt restructurings, sales of
property and non-recurring items, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Funds From Operations was computed by the Company in accordance with this
definition. Funds From Operations does not represent cash generated by
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; it is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(loss) as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, Funds From
Operations as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to the
Company's calculation of Funds From Operations.

(1) In the second quarter of 1998, the Company engaged Lehman Brothers,
Inc. as financial advisor to assist the Company in the exploration of
strategic alternatives, which included the potential sale of the
Company's operating portfolio. Due to changes in the real estate
market, the Company abandoned its plan to sell its operating portfolio
and expensed all related costs.

Year 2000 Compliance

In 1997 the Company purchased and put in place new information system
hardware and software to accommodate the rapid growth of its real estate
portfolio. The Company believes the new information system hardware and
software is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company has evaluated
Year 2000 compliance risk relative to operations of its rental
properties, and retained the services of a team of consultants. Since
January 1998, these consultants have been conducting a survey of the
Company's outside relationships (e.g., tenants, vendors and creditors)
to assess their state of readiness in regards to Year 2000 compliance.
The survey indicates that a majority of these parties' information
systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is
performing a detailed Information Technology review of its key outside
relationships. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has spent $10,000
on surveys and systems reviews and expects to spend approximately $20,000
in 1999. The Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan
in the event of non-compliance. The Company believes that Year 2000
compliance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of
its line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund
capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real estate
investment portfolio and operations. The Company's interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To
achieve its objectives the Company balances its borrowings between fixed
and variable rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative or
interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The Company's interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of
techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted
average interest rates, fair values and other terms required by year of
expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to
interest rate changes (in thousands):

Average interest rate 7.37% 7.38% 7.38% 7.49% 7.04% 7.49% 7.35% 7.00%

As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December
31, 1998, it does not consider those exposures or positions which could
arise after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not
presented in the table above, the information presented therein has
limited predictive value. As a result, the Company's ultimate realized
gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on
the exposures that arise during the period, the Company's hedging
strategies at that time, and interest rates.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in

BEDFORD PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and
Practices

The Company
Bedford Property Investors, Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland real estate
investment trust with investments primarily in industrial and suburban
office properties concentrated in the Western United States. The
Company's Common Stock trades under the symbol "BED" on both the New York
Stock Exchange and Pacific Exchange.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Bedford Realty Partners, L.P.
All significant inter-entity balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the
Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("the Code"). A real estate investment trust is generally not
subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its real estate
investment trust taxable income ("Taxable Income") which is distributed
to its stockholders, provided that at least 95% of Taxable Income is
distributed and other requirements are met. The Company believes it is
in compliance with the Code.

Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes
primarily because of the different methods of accounting for
depreciation. As of December 31, 1998, for Federal income tax purposes,
the Company had an ordinary loss carry forward of approximately $32
million. As the Company does not expect to incur income tax liabilities,
the asset value of these losses has been effectively fully reserved. For
Federal income tax purposes, dividend distributions made for 1998 were
classified 96% as ordinary income and 4% as return of capital; dividend
distributions made for 1997 were classified 88% as ordinary income and
12% as capital gain; all dividend distributions made for 1996 were
classified as ordinary income.

Real Estate Investments
Buildings and improvements are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
45 years. Upon the acquisition of an investment by the Company,
acquisition-related costs are added to the carrying cost of that
investment. These costs are being depreciated over the useful lives of
the buildings. Leasing commissions and improvements to tenants' space
incurred subsequent to the acquisition are amortized over the terms of
the respective leases. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which
do not add to the value or prolong the useful life of a property, are
expensed as incurred. When the Company concludes that the recovery of
the carrying amount of a real estate investment is impaired, it reduces
such carrying amount to the estimated fair value of the investment.
Investments which are considered as held for sale are carried at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and such
properties are no longer depreciated.

Income Recognition
Rental income from operating leases is recognized in income on a
straight-line basis over the period of the related lease agreement.
Aggregate rental income exceeded contractual rentals by $2,252,000,
$1,644,000 and $573,000 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


Per Share Data
Per share data are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Stock options issued under the Company's
stock option plans are included in the calculation of diluted per share
data if, upon exercise, they would have a dilutive effect. The diluted
earnings per share calculation also assumes conversion of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and the limited partnership
units of Bedford Realty Partners, L.P., if such conversions would have
dilutive effects, as of the beginning of the year. Dividends accrued on
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and distributions accrued on the
limited partnership units are deducted from net income for purposes of
determining net income applicable to common stockholders.

Effective December 15, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per share (FAS 128). Earnings per
share data for previous periods have been restated to conform to FAS 128.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,
Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 133
is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. Management believes that the adoption of this statement
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

The Company internally manages all but 8 of its properties from its
regional offices in Lafayette, CA; Tustin, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Lenexa, KS;
Denver, CO; and Seattle, WA. For the 8 properties located in markets not
served by a regional office, the Company has subcontracted on-site
management to local firms. All financial record-keeping is centralized
at the Company's corporate office in Lafayette, CA.

In December 1998, an industrial property located in Northern California
was identified for sale. Proceeds from the sale will be reinvested in
further property acquisitions.

During 1998 and 1997, the Company capitalized interest costs relating to
properties under development totaling $2,177,000 and $627,000,
respectively.

The Company has remaining construction commitments of $12.5 million at
December 31, 1998 relating to five of its properties under development.

Note 3 - Consolidated Partnership

In December 1996, the Company formed Bedford Realty Partners, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"), with the Company as the sole general partner,
for the purpose of acquiring real estate. In exchange for contributing
a property into the Operating Partnership, the owners of the property
receive limited partnership units ("OP Units"). A limited partner can
seek redemption of the OP Units at any time. The Company, at its option,
may redeem the OP Units by either (i) issuing common stock at the rate
of one share of common stock for each OP Unit, or (ii) paying cash to a
limited partner based on the average trading price of its common stock.
Each OP Unit is allocated partnership income and cash flow at a rate
equal to the dividend being paid by the Company on a share of common
stock. Additional partnership income and cash flow is allocated 99% to
the Company and 1% to the limited partners.

This acquisition strategy is referred to as a "Down REIT" transaction;
as long as certain tax attributes are maintained, the income tax
consequences to a limited partner are generally deferred until such time
as the limited partner redeems their OP Units.

On December 17, 1996, the Company acquired a $3.6 million industrial
property located in Modesto, California utilizing the Operating
Partnership. The sellers of the property received 108,495 OP Units. A
director of the Company was a 9% owner of the property, but did not
participate in the approval of the acquisition. As of December 31, 1998
the Company has redeemed 21,607 OP units for cash.

Note 4 - Leases

Minimum future lease payments to be received as of December 31, 1998 are
as follows (in thousands):

1999 $ 72,490
2000 64,478
2001 56,010
2002 44,663
2003 36,291
Thereafter 74,023
$347,955

The total minimum future lease payments shown above do not include
tenants' obligations for reimbursement of operating expenses or taxes as
provided by the terms of certain leases.

Note 5 - Related Party Transactions

Due to the Company's limited financial resources existing in prior years,
its activities relating to the acquisition of new properties and debt and
equity financings have been performed by Bedford Acquisitions, Inc. (BAI)
pursuant to a written contract dated January 1, 1995. The contract
provides that BAI is obligated to provide services to the Company with
respect to the Company's acquisition and financing activities, and that
BAI is responsible for the payment of its expenses incurred in connection
therewith. The contract provides that BAI is to be paid a fee in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1 1/2% of the gross amount of the
aggregate purchase price of the property for acquisitions and
dispositions plus 5% of development project costs, or (ii) an amount
equal to (a) the aggregate amount of approved expenses funded by BAI
through the time of such acquisition, disposition or development minus
(b) the aggregate amount of fees previously paid to BAI pursuant to such
arrangement. In no event will the aggregate amount of fees paid to BAI
exceed the aggregate amount of costs funded by BAI. The agreement with
BAI has a term of one year and is renewable at the option of the Company
for additional one-year terms. The current agreement will expire on
January 1, 2000.

For 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid BAI $2,272,000, $3,156,000, and
$1,808,000, respectively, for acquisition and financing activities
performed pursuant to the foregoing arrangements. The Company believes
that since the fees charged under the foregoing arrangements (i) have
been and continue to be comparable to those charged by other sponsors of
real estate investment entities or other third party service providers
and (ii) have been and continue to be charged only for services on
acquired properties or completed financings, such fees are properly
includable in direct acquisition costs and capitalized as part of the
asset or financing activities.

Note 6 - Stock Option Plans

Initially 900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were reserved for
issuance under the Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Employee Plan"). In
May 1998, the shareholders approved an additional 2,100,000 shares. The
Employee Plan expires in 2003. The Employee Plan provides for
non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options.

The Employee Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, which determines the terms of options granted,
including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option,
and the exercisability of the options. Options granted to employees are
exercisable upon vesting, and typically vest over a four-year period.

The Employee Plan requires that the exercise price of incentive stock
options be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the
date of grant and that the exercise price of non-qualified stock options
be equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of such shares on the
date of the grant. The maximum term of options granted is ten years.

Initially 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were reserved for
issuance under the Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan").
In May 1996 and 1997, the shareholders approved an additional 250,000
shares and 500,000 shares, respectively. The Directors' Plan expires in
2002. The Directors' Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock
options to directors of the Company. The Directors' Plan contains an
automatic grant feature whereby a director receives a one-time "initial
option" to purchase 25,000 shares upon a director's appointment to the
Board of Directors and thereafter receives automatic annual grants of
options to purchase 10,000 shares upon re-election to the Board of
Directors. Options granted are generally exercisable six months from the
date of grant.

The Directors' Plan requires that the exercise price of options be equal
to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.
The maximum term of options granted is ten years.

In September 1995, the Company established a Management Stock Acquisition
program. Under the program, options exercised by key members of
management shortly after the grant date may be exercised either in cash
or with a note payable to the Company. Such note bears interest at 7.5%
or the Applicable Federal Rate as defined by the Internal Revenue
Service, whichever is higher. The note is due in five years or within
ninety days from termination of employment, with interest payable
quarterly. During 1996 and 1995, options for 155,000 shares of Common
Stock were exercised in exchange for notes payable to the Company. The
notes bear interest at 7.5%. The unpaid balance of the notes was
$1,021,000 and $1,466,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a
reduction of additional paid-in capital.

In addition, the Company may grant restricted stock to key employees.
These shares generally vest over five years and are subject to forfeiture
under certain conditions. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has
granted 105,200 shares.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its plans. Accordingly, compensation costs have not been
recognized for either the Employee or the Directors' Plan. Had
compensation costs for the plans been determined consistent with FASB
Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:


1998 1997 1996
Net income:
As reported $31,496,000 $31,291,000 $11,021,000
Pro forma 31,158,000 31,045,000 10,831,000

Earnings per share - basic:
As reported $ 1.39 $ 2.21 $ 1.21
Pro forma 1.38 2.19 1.17

Earnings per share -
assuming dilution:
As reported $ 1.38 $ 1.94 $ 1.14
Pro forma 1.36 1.92 1.12





The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-
average assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively:
dividend yield of 7.3%, 5.8% and 6.9%; expected volatility of 17.0%,
16.8%, and 18.1%; risk-free interest rates of 4.6%, 5.7% and 6.3%. The
expected life for the director's options is five years for each period.
The expected life for the employee's options is ten years for 1998, and
five years each for 1997 and 1996.

A summary of the status of the Company's plans as of December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996 and changes during the years ended on those dates is

Note 7 - Bank Loan Payable

In June 1998, the Company amended and restated its secured revolving
credit facility with Bank of America. Under this facility, which matures
June 15, 2001, the Company can borrow up to $175 million on a secured
basis. The facility contains an unsecured sub-line of $50 million.
Secured loans bear interest at a floating rate equal to either the
lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.10% to 1.35%. The interest rate of the unsecured loans is either the
lender's published "reference rate" or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The
credit facility contains various restrictive covenants including, among
other things, a covenant limiting quarterly dividends to 95% of average
Funds From Operations. As of December 31, 1998, the Company was in
compliance with the covenants and requirements of its revolving credit
facility which had an outstanding balance of $147,443,000. The credit
facility is secured by mortgages on 47 properties (which properties
collectively accounted for approximately 52% of the Company's Annualized
Base Rent and approximately 43% of the Company's total assets as of
December 31, 1998), together with the rental proceeds from such
properties. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company entered into
discussions with Bank of America regarding a bridge facility of $28
million. This facility would consist of secured loans, bear the same
interest rates as the secured loans under the $175 million facility and
have a six-month term with the option to extend for another six months.


The daily weighted average amount owed to the bank was $94,338,000 and
$45,642,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average
interest rates in these periods were 6.81% and 7.42%, respectively. The
effective interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 6.48%.

Note 8 - Mortgage Loans Payable

Mortgage loans payable at December 31, 1998 consist of the following (in

Note 9 - Redeemable Preferred Stock

On September 18, 1995, the Company issued and sold 8,333,334 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock")
for $6.00 per share. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock were
entitled to cumulative quarterly dividends in cash in an amount equal to
the greater of (i) $0.135 per share or (ii) the dividends payable on the
Common Stock into which the Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
plus, in both cases, the accumulated but unpaid dividends on the
Convertible Preferred Stock. Dividends may be declared and paid on
shares of Common Stock only if full cumulative dividends have been paid
or authorized and set apart on all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
On October 14, 1997, the 8,333,334 shares of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock were converted to 4,166,667 shares of common stock.

Note 10 - Sales of Common Stock

The Company completed the sale of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at $17
3/8 per share in February 1997 and 7,245,000 shares of common stock at
$19 5/8 per share in November 1997. Net cash proceeds from these
offerings were used to pay off the outstanding borrowings under the
Company's credit facility.

Note 11 - Comprehensive Income

There are no adjustments necessary to net income as presented in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income to derive comprehensive
income in accordance with FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income.

Note 12 - Segment Disclosure
