NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   Municipal Mortgage and Equity, L.L.C. (the "Company") is in the
business of originating, investing in and servicing tax-exempt mortgage
revenue bonds issued by state and local government authorities to finance
multifamily housing developments and secured by nonrecourse  mortgage loans
on the underlying properties.  The Company, organized in July 1995 as a
limited liability company under Delaware law, is the successor to the business
of the SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), which
was merged into the Company effective August 1, 1996 (the "Merger"). 
        
   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with  the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission  and in the opinion of management contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.  These results have
been determined on the basis of accounting principles and policies discussed
in Note 2 to the Financial Statements appearing  in the Company's  1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Company's 1997 Form 10-K").  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's 1997 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 -  INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS

   The Company invests in various mortgage revenue bonds and other
bond related investments, the proceeds of which are used to make nonrecourse
mortgage loans on multifamily housing developments.  The Company's rights
and the specific terms of the bonds are defined by the various loan documents
which were negotiated at the time of settlement.  The basic terms and structure
of each bond are described in Note 6 to the Company's 1997 Form 10-K.  

    The following table provides certain information with respect to each

   In the first quarter, the Company purchased bonds totaling $84.5
million collateralized by ten properties located in Florida and Missouri and
sold $81 million of these bonds to Merrill Lynch.   As part of Merrill Lynch's
securitization of the bonds which were sold, the Company retained a $1 million
RITES interest and pledged four additional bonds as collateral for the $80
million senior interest in the trust (see further discussion in Note 3).
   
NOTE 3 - OTHER BOND RELATED INVESTMENTS

   The Company's other bond related investments are primarily
investments in RITES, a security offered by Merrill Lynch through its P-floats
Program. The RITES are part of a program under which a bond is placed into
a trust and two types of securities are sold by the trust, P-floats and RITES.
The P-floats are the senior security and bear interest at a rate that is reset
weekly by the Remarketing Agent, Merrill Lynch, to result in the sale of the 
P-floats at par.  The RITES are the subordinate security and receive the
residual interest. The residual interest is the remaining interest on the
bond after payment of all fees and the P-floats interest. In conjunction with
the purchase of the RITES, the Company enters into interest rate swap
contracts to hedge against interest rate exposure on the Company's investment
in the RITES. The following table provides certain information with respect to
each of the other bond related investments.

(1) Amount represents notional amount of swap agreements.
(2) The underlying bonds are held in a trust; the Company owns all of the
    custodial receipts related to the underlying bonds in the form of RITES,
    Pfloats and Fixed Receipts.
(3) The Company has entered into these swaps to hedge future anticipated
    transactions.
(4) Custodial receipt which represents the interest generated on the
    underlying bond in excess of 7.875%
(5) The Company has entered into a total return and interest rate swap on the 
    Cinnamon Ridge Mortgage Bond.  During the term of the total return swap,
    the Company will receive income approximating .625% of the face amount 
    of the bond.






















   As discussed in Note 2,  the Company sold $81 million of bonds to
Merrill Lynch which were then securitized into approximately $80 million in
P-floats and $1 million in RITES. The Company retained the RITES
investment.

   On February 27, 1998, the Company sold for $5.0 million the RITES
associated with Hunters Ridge/South Pointe which resulted in a gain of $0.7
million.  Also, the Company terminated the $7.2 million interest rate swap
contract associated with this investment at a cost of $0.4 million.  As a result
of the sale of the RITES and the termination of the swap, the Company
recognized a net gain of approximately $0.3 million.  

   From time to time, the Company may purchase or sell in the open
market interests in bonds that it has securitized depending on the Company's
capital position and needs. In February and March, the Company used
uninvested equity offering proceeds to purchase interests in three bonds that
were securitized in December 1997. In April 1998, the Company sold some of
these interests. Also, the Company raised capital through the sale of interests
in two other securitized bonds.  

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN PARITY WORKING CAPITAL LOANS,
DEMAND NOTES  AND OTHER LOANS

   On February 11, 1998, the Company originated a $9.5 million taxable
mortgage loan collateralized by a 328 unit multifamily apartment project
known as Palisades Park located in Universal City, Texas.  The six month loan
was made as short term financing pending issuance, by the Bexar County
Housing Finance Corporation, of a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond not to
exceed $9.65 million with a base interest rate of 7.125%. The Company has
committed to acquire this bond when it is issued.  The mortgage loan bears
interest at a stated annual rate of 8.5%. 


NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  On January 26, 1998, the Company sold to the public 3,000,000 Growth
Shares at a price of $20.625 per share and granted the underwriters an option
to purchase up to an aggregate of 450,000 Growth Shares to cover over-allotments
at the same price.  Net proceeds on the 3,000,000 shares approximated 
$57.9 million.  On February 13, 1998, the underwriters exercised their 
option to purchase 246,000 Growth Shares generating net proceeds of
approximately $4.8 million. The net proceeds from this offering have been used
to fund bond acquisitions.

For the period ended March 31, 1997, the effect of the potential dilution from
the conversion of the preferred shares is not included in the calculation of
diluted EPS because the effect of the conversion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  On February 26, 1998, the Company entered into a put option with Merrill
Lynch Capital Services, Inc. whereby Merrill Lynch has the right to sell to the
Company, and the Company has the obligation to buy, a pool of participating
tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds with a combined face amount of $120
million for a purchase price of $105 million.  Under this three year option, the
Company receives an annual payment equal to 20 basis points of the average
principal amount of the bonds in the pool, or approximately $0.2 million, for
assuming the purchase obligation. The purchase price can be reduced by up to
10% in the event of a material adverse change (as defined in the put
agreement).
