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

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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WhiteRock Portfolio 
Investors, L.L.C. (a limited liability company) as of December 31, 1996 and 
1995, and the related statements of operations, members' capital, and cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the period September 29, 1995 
(inception) through December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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, 
L.L.C. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and 
its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the period September 29,
1995 (inception) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                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 focuses
                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),
                Lone Star Opportunity Fund, L.P. (Lone Star) and their
                affiliates.

                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 federal taxes have been
                reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Federal
                income taxes are the responsibility of WhiteRock's members.

        (c)     Investments in Limited Partnerships
                -----------------------------------

                Investments in Brazos as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and in
                Lone Star as of December 31, 1996 are recorded for financial
                statement purposes on the equity basis which approximates the
                estimated fair value of WhiteRock's investments. The equity
                basis was determined to be a fair estimate of the projected
                future cash flows of the investments discounted at a market rate
                of return for investments with similar risks.

                The fair values of investments as determined by the members, do
                not necessarily represent the amounts that may be realized from
                their immediate sale or disposition. Because of the inherent
                uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ
                significantly from the

                                      
                                                                     (Continued)

        values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments 
        existed, and the differences could be material.

   (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.

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

     The primary focus of Brazos and Lone Star, WhiteRock's two investments at
