                     WHITEROCK PORTFOLIO INVESTORS, L.L.C.

          WhiteRock Portfolio Investors, L.L.C. ("WhiteRock" or "Company") is a 
limited liability company registered as a closed-end investment company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is designed to invest in real 
estate, broadly defined.

          The Company's investment objective is to seek high total returns by 
buying, selling, exchanging or otherwise acquiring, holding, trading, investing 
in, managing, and dealing with investments, direct or indirect (whether 
characterized as debt, equity or otherwise), in real property (principally in 
the U.S. and Canada), mortgage loans, and real-estate related securities.  The 
company is focussed primarily on acquiring, directly or indirectly, managing and
disposing of, distressed mortgage loan and REO portfolios, and high-yield 
commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), including but not limited to 
investing in entities organized or to be organized by Brazos Principal GenPar, 
L.P. and its affiliates.

          The Company is organized as a Delaware limited liability company that 
is managed by a five member Board of Managers having powers similar to a board 
of directors.  The Company does not have a separate investment advisor, but is 
self-managed.  The Board approves any investment course of action involving over
$10,000.  Pursuant to the Company's limited liability company agreement 
("Operating Agreement"), the Board has delegated many of its day-to-day duties 
to various named officers.  In addition, the Board has authorized the Company to
hire Brazos GenPar, Inc. to administer its affairs and ensure compliance with 
various legal requirements.

          Units in the Company were placed pursuant to a private placement.  
These units, therefore, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.


                               1995 PERFORMANCE

          On September 29, 1995, the Company committed $15 million of its 
available capital to an investment in the Brazos Fund, L.P., which is exempt 
from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in reliance on 
Section 3(c)(1) of that Act.  At December 31, 1995, the Company had funded 
approximately two-thirds of the commitment, and had invested substantially all 
of its assets in Brazos Fund, L.P. or in cash.  For the period ended 
December 31, 1995,
<PAGE>
 
the Company had not realized any income on its investment in Brazos Fund, L.P., 
but had an equity in loss on its investment in this entity of $59,116. During 
this same period, the Company did not incur any operating expenses. In 
accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, all expenses of the 
Company were borne by Brazos GenPar, Inc. or Brazos GenPar Principal, L.P.

The Members
WhiteRock Portfolio Investors, L.L.C.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WhiteRock Portfolio Investors,

statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material 
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1995

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Description of Business
          -----------------------

          WhiteRock Portfolio, L.L.C. (WhiteRock) was formed on September 29,
          1995 and is registered as a nondiversified, closed-end investment
          company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The investment
          objective of WhiteRock is to seek high total returns by buying,
          selling, exchanging or otherwise acquiring, holding, trading,
          investing in, managing, and dealing with qualified investments,
          whether such assets are acquired directly, or indirectly through
          partnerships, joint ventures, or otherwise. In pursuing its
          objectives, WhiteRock shall focus primarily on acquiring, directly or
          indirectly, managing and disposing of distressed mortgage loan and
          owned real estate ("REO") portfolios, and high yield commercial
          mortgage-backed securities, including but not limited to investing in
          entities organized or to be organized by Brazos Fund, L.P. (Brazos)
          and its affiliates. As of December 31, 1995 WhiteRock's only
          investment is an approximate 6% interest in Brazos (see note 2).

          The operations of WhiteRock are governed by a limited liability
          company agreement dated September 29, 1995. The term of WhiteRock is
          six years and eleven months from the date of inception.

          Net income and losses of WhiteRock are allocated among the members
          based on their respective ownership percentages in accordance with the
          limited liability company agreement.

     (b)  Income Taxes
          ------------

          As a limited liability company, WhiteRock is not subject to federal
          income taxes; therefore, no provision has been made for such taxes in
          the accompanying financial statements. Income taxes are the
          responsibility of WhiteRock's members.

     (c)  Investment in Partnership
          -------------------------

          Investment in Brazos is recorded for financial statement purposes on
          the equity basis which approximates the estimated fair value of
          WhiteRock's investment in Brazos as of December 31, 1995.

     (d)  Use of Estimates
          ----------------

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

                         Notes to Financial Statements


(2)     Investment in Limited Partnership
        ---------------------------------

        The primary focus of Brazos, WhiteRock's only investment at December 31,
        1995, is the acquisition, management and disposition of distressed
        mortgage loan and real estate portfolios. Brazos may also invest in
        other real estate related assets. The objective of Brazos is to achieve
        significant yields and capital gains for its partners. The projected
        holding period for each of Brazos' investments is three to five years.
        Brazos' general partner is responsible for the evaluation, execution and
        management of the investments and investment opportunities of Brazos.
        Brazos will invest only where it believes that it has a competitive
        advantage arising from its expertise in origination, evaluation,
        management and disposition of its assets. As of December 31, 1995,
        Brazos has invested in thirteen portfolios.

        The operations of Brazos are governed by a limited partnership agreement
        (Agreement) dated March 30, 1995. The term of Brazos is ten years and
        three months from the date of inception.

        At December 31, 1995, total commitments from the partners to provide
        capital contributions is approximately $246,389,000 which includes
        Brazos Principal GenPar, L.P.'s (General Partner) commitment of 1% of
        total commitments. The partners' commitments will expire on the earlier
        of thirty months after March 30, 1995 or on the date a new fund, if any,
        is formed; however, at least 85% of the total commitments must be
        invested or committed for investment before the General Partner can
        organize a new fund. At December 31, 1995, 67.8% of total commitments
        have been invested. Should a new fund be formed, limited partners with
        unfunded commitments in excess of $2,000,000 will have the opportunity
        to transfer those commitments to the new fund. Capital returned to any
        partner during the first year will be added to such partner's unfunded
        commitments and thus will be available to be redrawn by Brazos during
        the commitment period.

        According to the Agreement, the General Partner cannot act on behalf of
        the Partnership without prior written approval of the limited partners
        on the following major decisions: (1) making an investment in a single
        asset in excess of 15% of the total commitments or making an acquisition
        of a portfolio of assets acquired in a single transaction in excess of
        33% of total commitments; (2) removing the General Partner; (3)
        termination of the commitment period; and (4) requiring the dissolution
        of Brazos. To approve a major decision, the requesting partner must
        propose the major decision to the other partners by written notice.
        Within ten days after the receipt of that notice, each partner shall
        indicate in writing to the requesting partner and the General Partner
        their approval or disapproval. In the event any partner does not respond
        within the time period, such partner shall be deemed to have disapproved
        the major decision. If any limited partner or limited partners of Brazos
        holding at least 66-2/3% of the overall percentages in Brazos approve
        or consent to the major decision, the decision would be considered
        approved and would require no further action of any other partner.
