Exhibit 99.1

WILSHIRE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT INC.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION - NARRATIVE FORMAT

         The following unaudited pro forma financial information of Wilshire
Real Estate Investment Inc. (the "Company") gives effect to the sale of
properties to Madrona Park II, LLC as if the transaction occurred as of January
1, 1999 with respect to the unaudited pro forma operating information and as of
June 30, 2000 with respect to the unaudited pro forma financial condition
information.

         The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the results that might have been achieved by the Company if the
sale had been consummated as of the indicated dates. The unaudited pro forma
financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company, together with the related
notes thereto, which were filed August 10, 2000 on Form 10-Q for the period
ended June 30, 2000.

                       -----------------------------------

         On October 10, 2000, the Company sold five retail buildings and an
office complex/warehouse/distribution center, totaling 444,864 square feet, to
Madrona Park II, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. The retail buildings are
located in Salem, Milwaukie, Oak Grove, Tualatin and Gresham, all in the State
of Oregon. The office complex/warehouse/distribution center is located in
Wilsonville, Oregon. The properties were sold for approximately $28.8 million.
The purchase price was determined through arms length negotiations between the
Company and the buyer. As part of the sale, the buyer assumed debt of
approximately $20.3 million.

The pro forma effect of this transaction on the June 30, 2000 statement of
financial condition would have resulted in a decrease in total assets from
$184.9 million to $167.1 million and a decrease in total liabilities from $131.1
million to $110.6 million. The decrease in total assets of $17.8 million is the
result of the following: 1) sale of real estate with a carrying value of $25.6
million, 2) recovery of $0.2 million in reserve deposits included in Other
Assets and 3) charge-off of $0.1 million in capitalized financing costs included
in Other Assets relating to the original acquisition of the real estate sold.
These amounts were offset, in part, by $8.1 million of additional cash provided
by the pro forma effect of the disposed assets and the assumption of $20.3
million (on a pro forma basis) of long-term debt by the buyer.

     The pro forma effect of this transaction on Stockholders' Equity on June
30, 2000 would be an increase from $53.8 million to $56.4 million. The $2.6
million increase is due to the effect of adjusting retained earnings for the
disposal of the assets.

     Additionally, the pro forma effect of these transactions would result in
the following changes to the operations of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 2000:



         Decrease in net income from real estate operations of $0.9 million and
         $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the six months
         ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

         Decrease in portfolio service fees and expenses of $0.1 million for the
         year ended December 31, 1999.

         Increase in gain on sale of real estate of $1.9 million for the year
         ended December 31, 1999.

         Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1999 would have decreased from
         $26.6 million to $25.5 million. Basic and diluted net loss per share of
         $2.33 would decrease to $2.24 per share.

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 would have decreased
         from $4.9 million to $4.5 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share
         of $0.47 would decrease to $0.43 per share.
