                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Municipal  Mortgage  & Equity,  LLC  ("MuniMae")  and its  subsidiaries
(together with MuniMae,  the "Company") are principally  engaged in originating,
investing in and servicing  investments in multifamily  housing debt and equity.
The Company  primarily  holds a portfolio of tax-exempt  mortgage  revenue bonds
issued by state and local government  authorities to finance multifamily housing
developments secured by nonrecourse mortgage loans on the underlying properties.

         The  assets of  MuniMae TE Bond  Subsidiary,  LLC and its  subsidiaries
(collectively,  "TE Bond Sub"),  a majority  owned  subsidiary  of MuniMae,  are
solely those of TE Bond Sub and are not  available to creditors of MuniMae.  The
equity  interest  in TE Bond Sub held by  MuniMae  is  subject  to the claims of
creditors of the Company and in certain circumstances could be foreclosed upon.

         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
1 to the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
1999,  as amended (the  "Company's  1999 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 1999
Form 10-K.  Certain 1999 amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the 2000
presentation.

Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities"  ("FAS  133") as amended by FAS No.  137,
"Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of
Effective Date of FASB 133". In addition,  during 2000, the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  issued  FAS  No.  138,   "Accounting  for  Certain  Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities".  These  statements  (collectively,
"FAS 133") establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial
instruments,  including certain  derivative  financial  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts,  and for hedging  activity.  FAS 133  requires  the Company to
recognize  all  derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in its financial
statements  and  measure  these  instruments  at  their  fair  values.   Hedging
activities  must  be  appropriately  designated,  documented  and  proven  to be
effective as a hedge of a balance sheet item  pursuant to the  provisions of FAS
133. FAS 133 becomes effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000.

     The Company has several  types of financial  instruments  that may meet the
definition  of a  derivative  financial  instrument  under  FAS  133,  including
interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, put option contracts,  loan commitments
and total return swaps. Currently the Company marks most of these instruments to
fair value on a quarterly  basis.  Some of these  instruments are held to reduce
the Company's exposure to fluctuating interest rates. Accordingly, the change in
fair value is recorded in other comprehensive  income,  which corresponds to the
accounting for the underlying  instrument.  The exceptions are loan  commitments
and put option contracts,  which are currently  off-balance  sheet  instruments.
Under  FAS 133,  the  Company  believes  the  loan  commitments  and put  option
contracts  may be recorded on the  balance  sheet with  changes in fair value of
these  instruments,  as well as changes in fair value of other instruments which
are deemed to be derivative financial instruments, recorded in current earnings.
If the Company does not prove that its current hedging  activities are effective
as a hedge of a balance  sheet item  pursuant to the  provisions of FAS 133, the
changes in fair value  would be  recorded  through  current  income  rather than
through other  comprehensive  income. At this time, the Company is continuing to
assess  the  impact  of FAS  133 on  its  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations. However, the Company believes the impact on future earnings could be
material.

NOTE 2 - PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY IN SUBSIDIARY

         On June 2,  2000,  TE Bond  Sub  sold to  institutional  investors  $60
million of Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares (the "Series B Preferred Shares"
or the "Series B Preferred Share  Offering").  On May 27, 1999, TE Bond Sub sold
to institutional  investors $84 million of Series A Cumulative  Preferred Shares
(the "Series A Preferred  Shares" or the "Series A Preferred  Share  Offering").
The Series A Preferred  Shares  bear  interest at 6.875% per annum or, if lower,
the  aggregate  net income of the  issuing  company,  TE Bond Sub.  The Series A
Preferred  Shares have a senior claim to the income derived from the investments
owned by TE Bond Sub. The Series B Preferred  Shares bear  interest at 7.75% per
annum or, if lower,  the  aggregate net income of the issuing  company,  TE Bond
Sub, after payment of distributions to the Series A Preferred Shares. Any income
from TE Bond Sub available after payment of the cumulative  distributions of the
Series A and  Series B  Preferred  Shares  is  allocated  to the  Company.  Cash
distributions  on the  Series  A and  Series  B  Preferred  Shares  will be paid
quarterly on each January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31. The Series A and
Series B  Preferred  Shares are subject to  remarketing  on  specified  dates as
indicated on the table below.  On the remarketing  date, the  remarketing  agent
will seek to  remarket  the  shares at the lowest  distribution  rate that would
result  in a resale of the  Series A and  Series B  Preferred  Shares at a price
equal to par plus all accrued but unpaid distributions.  The Series A and Series
B Preferred  Shares will be subject to mandatory  tender on specified  dates, as
indicated below, and on all subsequent remarketing dates at a price equal to par
plus all  accrued  but unpaid  distributions.  The  following  table  provides a
summary of certain terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Shares.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS

         The Company holds a portfolio of tax-exempt  mortgage revenue bonds and
certificates  of  participation  in grantor trusts holding  tax-exempt  mortgage
revenue bonds  ("COPs").  The  tax-exempt  mortgage  revenue bonds are issued by
state  and  local  government   authorities  to  finance   multifamily   housing
developments secured by nonrecourse mortgage loans on the underlying properties.
The COPs  represent  a pro rata  interest  in a trust  that  holds a  tax-exempt
mortgage  revenue bond. 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 5
to the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.

          The following table provides  certain  information with respect to the
bonds held by the Company at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

     In the third quarter the Company  originated  $42.1 million (par amount) in
mortgage  revenue bonds  collateralized  by five apartment  communities with 923
units  for a total  purchase  price  of  $42.1  million.  The  weighted  average
permanent  interest rate on the bonds is 7.72% per annum and the maturity  dates
range from  August  2030 to July 2035.  The  Company  received  $0.7  million in
construction  administration and origination fees related to these transactions.
These fees are recognized  into income over the life of the investment or of the
services provided.

         During the third quarter, the Company securitized two bonds with a face
amount of $31.2  million to Merrill  Lynch.  The bonds were  deposited  into the
Merrill Lynch P-FLOATs(sm) program (defined in Note 4) and the Company purchased
RITES(sm)  investments  (defined  in Note 4).  Also in the  third  quarter,  the
Company  sold  $8.0  million  of its $13.0  million  investment  in the  CapReit
portfolio  bond to Merrill  Lynch.  The Company  recognized a gain of $80,000 on
this   transaction.   These  bonds  were  sold  to  generate  proceeds  for  new
investments.

         In order to facilitate the  securitization  of certain assets at higher
leverage  ratios than otherwise  available to the Company without the posting of
additional  collateral,  the Company has pledged additional bonds to a pool that
acts as  collateral  for the senior  interests in certain  P-FLOATs(sm)  trusts.
Additionally,  the Company  pledged  investments as collateral for the term debt
financing  completed  in March 1999.  At September  30, 2000 the total  carrying
amount of the mortgage  revenue bonds pledged as collateral was $289.7  million.
The Company also purchased  other  investments  which it has pledged to the pool
that acts as collateral for the senior interests in certain P-FLOATs(sm) trusts.
These  assets  totaling  $19.4  million at  September  30, 2000 are  included in
restricted assets on the balance sheet.

NOTE 4 - OTHER BOND RELATED INVESTMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

         The Company's other bond related investments are primarily  investments
in Residual Interest Tax-Exempt  Securities Receipts  ("RITES(sm)"),  a security
offered  by  Merrill  Lynch  through  its  RITES(sm)/Puttable   Floating  Option
Tax-Exempt  Receipts  ("P-FLOATs(sm)")  Program.  The  RITES(sm)  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(sm)  and RITES(sm).  The  P-FLOATs(sm)  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(sm) at
par.  The  RITES(sm)  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(sm)  interest.  In  conjunction  with the
purchase of the RITES(sm)  with respect to fixed rate bonds,  the Company enters
into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against interest rate exposure on the
Company's investment in the RITES(sm). In order to facilitate the securitization
of certain  assets at higher  leverage  ratios  than  otherwise  available,  the
Company has pledged  additional  bonds to a pool that acts as collateral for the
senior interests in certain  P-FLOATs(sm)  trusts.  The following table provides
certain  information with respect to the other bond related  investments held by
the Company at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

(1) Investment held by TE Bond Sub or it's subsidiaries.
(2) The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap contracts to hedge against interest rate exposure on the Company's investment
    in RITES. The amounts disclosed represent the net fair values of all the Company's swaps at the reporting date.
(3) Face amount represents notional amount of swap agreements and the (dates) represent the effective date and the termination date
    of the swap.
(4) The aggregate negative fair value of the investments is included in liabilities for financial reporting purposes.  The negative
    fair value of these investments is considered temporary and is not indicative of the future earnings on these investments.


</TABLE>

     As discussed in Note 3, two bonds with a face amount of $31.2  million were
securitized  through  the  P-FLOATs(sm)  program  during the third  quarter.  In
addition,  the Company  structured a  transaction  whereby  Merrill Lynch bought
bonds  from a third  party  with a face  amount of $16.8  million.  The  Company
purchased  three  RITES(sm)  interests with a par value of $0.2 million for $0.1
million related to these transactions.

         Also in the third quarter,  the Company purchased a RITES(sm)  interest
with a $3.4  million  par value for $0.1  million  related to the $15.1  million
revenue  bond  collateralized  by the Santa Fe apartment  community.  This $15.1
million bond was securitized in June 2000.

     Transactions where the Company  securitizes a bond through the P-FLOATS(sm)
program  and  subsequently  purchases  a RITES  interest  are  accounted  for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting
for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and   Extinguishment   of
Liabilities"  ("FAS 125").  Under FAS 125, the accounting for these transactions
is  partially  dependent  on certain call  provisions  granted to the  RITES(sm)
holder.  If the RITES(sm)  holder is granted a call provision under the terms of
the  transaction  effective  control  over the  transferred  assets has not been
relinguished  and the  transaction  is accounted for as a borrowing.  Two of the
transactions  discussed  above were  accounted  for as  borrowings  in the third
quarter.  Accordingly, the Company recorded $32.0 million as short-term debt and
the  related  bonds are  included in  investments  in  mortgage  revenue  bonds.
Subsequent to the recording of this debt, the Company  purchased $8.0 million of
the outstanding debt  (P-FLOATs(sm))  resulting in a net short-term debt balance
of $24.0 million at September 30, 2000.  Due to the fact that there were no call
provisions  granted to the RITES(sm)  holder,  the third  transaction  discussed
above  whereby  the  Company  sold a bond  to  Merrill  Lynch  and  subsequently
purchased  a  RITES(sm)  interest,  was  accounted  for as a sale.  The  Company
recognized a net gain of $0.1 million on this transaction.

NOTE 5 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

NOTE 9 - BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING

         In the  fourth  quarter  of 1999,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  131,  "Disclosures  About  Segments of an
Enterprise and Related  Information," which establishes  standards for reporting
information about a company's operating  segments.  In October 1999, as a result
of the Midland  acquisition,  the Company  restructured  its operations into two
business  segments:  (1) an operating  segment  consisting  of Midland and other
subsidiaries  that  primarily  generate  taxable  fee income by  providing  loan
servicing,  loan  origination  and other  related  services and (2) an investing
segment  consisting  primarily of  subsidiaries  holding  investments  producing
tax-exempt interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those  described  in Note 1 to the  Company's  1999  Form  10-K.  A  complete
description of the Company's  reporting  segments is described in Note 21 to the
Company's 1999 Form 10-K.

         The following table reflects the results of the Company's  segments for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


General Business

         Municipal  Mortgage & Equity, LLC (the "Company") is in the business of
originating,  investing in and servicing investments in multifamily housing debt
and equity.  The Company is a limited  liability  company that, as a result of a
merger effective August 1, 1996 (the "Merger"), is the successor to the business
of SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").

         On October 20, 1999, the Company acquired Midland for approximately $45
million.  The  consolidated  earnings of Midland are  included in the  Company's
results of operations from the date of the Company's acquisition of Midland.


Results of Operations

Quarterly Results Analysis

         Total income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased by
approximately  $14.2  million over the same period last year due primarily to an
increase in collections of interest  totaling $8.1 million on bonds,  other bond
related  investments  and loans and an increase  in loan  servicing  fees,  loan
origination and brokerage fees and other income of $5.1 million due primarily to
income attributable to Midland.

         Salary,  benefits  and  operating  expenses  for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by approximately  $4.0 million over the same period
last year due primarily to salary and operating  expenses  totaling $3.9 million
generated  by Midland and  increased  administrative  costs.  The  Company  also
recorded  amortization  of goodwill and  intangibles of $0.4 million  associated
with the October 1999 acquisition of Midland.

         The Company  incurred  interest  expense of $8.4  million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of interest  expense from short-term
borrowings  associated  with  construction  lending  activity at Midland of $7.4
million  and  $1.0  million  in  interest  expense  related  to   securitization
transactions accounted for as borrowings.

         The Company recorded income  allocable to preferred  shareholders of TE
Bond Sub of $2.6  million for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 as a
result of the June 2000 and May 1999 Preferred  Equity  Offerings (see Note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements).

Year-to-Date Results Analysis

         Total income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 increased by
approximately  $37.3 million over the same period last year due primarily to (1)
an increase in collections of interest on bonds, other bond related  investments
and  loans of $25.1  million,  (2) an  increase  in loan  servicing  fees,  loan
origination  fees and other  income of $11.4  million  due  primarily  to income
attributable  to  Midland,  and  (3) an  increase  in  interest  on  short  term
investments of $2.1 million  primarily related to interest income on loan escrow
accounts held by Midland.  This  increase was  partially  offset by the one time
gain on sale of demand notes recorded in March 1999.

         Salary,  benefits  and  operating  expenses  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 2000 increased by approximately $11.8 million over the same period
last year due primarily to salary and operating  expenses  totaling $9.9 million
generated  by Midland and  increased  administrative  costs.  The  Company  also
recorded  amortization  of goodwill and  intangibles of $1.1 million  associated
with the October 1999 acquisition of Midland.

         The Company  incurred  interest  expense of $22.3  million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of interest  expense from short-term
borrowings  associated with  construction  lending  activity at Midland of $19.3
million  and  $3.0  million  in  interest  expense  related  to   securitization
transactions accounted for as borrowings.

         The Company recorded income  allocable to preferred  shareholders of TE
Bond Sub of $5.9  million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 as a
result of the June 2000 and May 1999 Preferred  Equity  Offerings (see Note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements).

New Accounting Pronouncement

         During July 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities"  ("FAS  133") as amended by FAS No.  137,
"Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of
Effective Date of FASB 133". In addition,  during 2000, the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  issued  FAS  No.  138,   "Accounting  for  Certain  Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities".  These  statements  (collectively,
"FAS 133") establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial
instruments,  including certain  derivative  financial  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts,  and for hedging  activity.  FAS 133  requires  the Company to
recognize  all  derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in its financial
statements  and  measure  these  instruments  at  their  fair  values.   Hedging
activities  must  be  appropriately  designated,  documented  and  proven  to be
effective as a hedge of a balance sheet item  pursuant to the  provisions of FAS
133. FAS 133 becomes effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000.

     The Company has several  types of financial  instruments  that may meet the
definition  of a  derivative  financial  instrument  under  FAS  133,  including
interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, put option contracts,  loan commitments
and total return swaps. Currently the Company marks most of these instruments to
fair value on a quarterly  basis.  Some of these  instruments are held to reduce
the Company's exposure to fluctuating interest rates. Accordingly, the change in
fair value is recorded in other comprehensive  income,  which corresponds to the
accounting for the underlying  instrument.  The exceptions are loan  commitments
and put option contracts,  which are currently  off-balance  sheet  instruments.
Under  FAS 133,  the  Company  believes  the  loan  commitments  and put  option
contracts  may be recorded on the  balance  sheet with  changes in fair value of
these  instruments,  as well as changes in fair value of other instruments which
are deemed to be derivative financial instruments, recorded in current earnings.
If the Company does not prove that its current hedging  activities are effective
as a hedge of a balance  sheet item  pursuant to the  provisions of FAS 133, the
changes in fair value  would be  recorded  through  current  income  rather than
through other  comprehensive  income. At this time, the Company is continuing to
assess  the  impact  of FAS  133 on  its  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations. However, the Company believes the impact on future earnings could be
material.   The  adoption  of  FAS  133  does  not  effect  cash  available  for
distribution or the Company's dividend paying ability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  primary  objective  is to  maximize  shareholder  value
through  increases in Cash Available for  Distribution  ("CAD") per Common Share
and appreciation in the value of its Common Shares. The Company seeks to achieve
its growth objectives by growing its investing and operating  business segments.
The Company grows its  investment  segment by acquiring,  servicing and managing
diversified  portfolios  of mortgage  bonds and other bond related  investments.
Growth in the  operating  segment  is  derived  from  increasing  levels of fees
generated  by  affordable  housing  equity  syndications,   loan  servicing  and
origination and brokerage services. In order to facilitate this growth strategy,
the  Company  will  require  additional  capital in order to pursue  acquisition
opportunities.  The  Company  expects  to  finance  its  acquisitions  through a
financing strategy that (1) takes advantage of attractive financing available in
the tax-exempt  securities  markets;  (2) manages  exposure to  fluctuations  of
interest rates;  and (3) maintains  maximum  flexibility to manage the Company's
short-term  cash needs.  To date,  the Company has  primarily  used two sources,
securitizations and Common Share or Preferred Share equity offerings, to finance
its acquisitions.  Through Midland's management of capital for others, including
Fannie Mae and pension funds, the Company has expanded its access to capital.

         In March 1999, the Company converted a portion of its investment in the
Merrill Lynch P-FLOATs(sm) program into a longer-term  securitization  facility.
Going  forward,  the Company  intends to use a  combination  of this longer term
securitization  facility  and  the  P-FLOATs(sm)   securitization  program.  The
P-FLOATs(sm)  program allows the Company to securitize bonds relatively  quickly
and  allows  the  Company  to  purchase  interests  in bonds  it has  previously
securitized.  A longer term securitization facility allows the Company to reduce
its exposure to credit and annual  renewal risks  associated  with the liquidity
and  credit  enhancement  features  of the  P-FLOATs(sm)  trusts  and allows the
Company to reduce its reliance on interest rate swaps.  The combination of these
two  vehicles   allows  the  Company  the   flexibility   it  needs  to  finance
acquisitions.

     In the third quarter, the Company participated in $59.6 million of bond and
taxable loan investment transactions.  Of this amount, $7.2 million were bond or
loan transactions retained by the Company.

         Through  the use of  securitizations,  the  Company  expects  to employ
leverage and maintain overall leverage ratios of approximately 55% or less, with
certain  assets at  significantly  higher ratios,  approximately  99%, while not
leveraging other assets at all. The Company calculates  leverage by dividing the
total amount of on-balance  sheet debt of the  investing  segment plus the total
amount of senior interests in its investments, which it considers the equivalent
of off-balance sheet financing,  by the sum of total assets owned by the Company
plus senior  interests  owned by others  adjusted for reserves  equal to the net
assets of the operating segment. Under this method, the Company's leverage ratio
at September 30, 2000 was approximately 51%.

          In order to facilitate the  securitization of certain assets at higher
leverage ratios,  the Company has pledged additional bonds to the pool that acts
as collateral for the senior interests in the trust.

Preferred Equity Offering by Subsidiary

         On June 2, 2000, TE Bond Sub sold to institutional  investors 30 shares
of $2,000,000  par-value 7 3/4 % Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares ("Series B
Preferred  Shares").  The Series B Preferred  Shares bear  interest at 7.75% per
annum or, if lower,  the  aggregate net income of the issuing  company,  TE Bond
Sub, after payment of distributions to any senior securities. Cash distributions
on the Series B Preferred  Shares  will be paid  quarterly  on each  January 31,
April 30, July 31 and  October 31. The Series B Preferred  Shares are subject to
remarketing on November 1, 2010. On the remarketing  date, the remarketing agent
will seek to  remarket  the  shares at the lowest  distribution  rate that would
result in a resale of the Series B Preferred Shares at a price equal to par plus
all accrued  but unpaid  distributions.  The Series B  Preferred  Shares will be
subject  to  mandatory  tender  on  November  1,  2010  and  on  all  subsequent
remarketing  dates  at a  price  equal  to  par  plus  all  accrued  but  unpaid
distributions. The Series B Preferred Shares must be redeemed no later than June
30, 2050.

Cash Flow

         At September  30, 2000,  the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of
approximately $41.4 million.

         Cash flow from operating activities was $28.5 million and $23.1 million
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,  respectively.  The
increase in cash flow for 2000 versus  1999 is due  primarily  to an increase in
income from new  investments  and an increase in other  income  attributable  to
Midland.

         The Company is required to  distribute  to the holders of its Preferred
Shares and Preferred Capital  Distribution  Shares  ("Preferred CD Shares") cash
flow  attributable  to such  shares (as  defined in the  Company's  Amended  and
Restated  Certificate  of Formation  and  Operating  Agreement).  The Company is
required to  distribute  2.0% of the net cash flow to the holders of Term Growth
Shares. The balance of the Company's net cash flow is available for distribution
to the Common Shares and the Company's current policy is to distribute to Common
Shareholders at least 80% of the annual CAD to Common Shares.

         Certain of the bonds held by the Company are  participating  bonds that
provide for  payment of  contingent  interest in addition to base  interest at a
fixed rate.  Additionally,  the mortgage  loans  underlying all of the bonds and
certain  bond  related  investments  held by the Company are  nonrecourse.  As a
result of these two factors, all debt service on the bonds, and therefore,  cash
flow  available for  distribution  to all  shareholders,  is dependent  upon the
performance of the underlying properties.

         The Company  uses CAD as the  primary  measure of its  dividend  paying
ability.  CAD  differs  from net  income  because of slight  variations  between
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP")  income  and  actual  cash
received.  There are several  differences between CAD and GAAP income. The first
is the treatment of loan origination fees, which for CAD purposes are recognized
as income when received but for GAAP purposes are amortized into income over the
life of the associated investment. The other significant differences are noncash
gains and losses associated with bond valuations and sales for GAAP purposes and
amortization  of  goodwill  and  intangibles,  which  are  not  included  in the
calculation of CAD.

         For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  CAD to Common
Shares  was  $8.1  million  and  $7.2   million,   respectively.   Regular  cash
distributions  to common  shareholders  attributable  to the three  months ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999 were $7.3 million and $6.8  million,  respectively.
The  Company's  Common Share  dividend for the three months ended  September 30,
2000 of $0.42  represents a payout ratio of 90.9% of CAD. The  Company's  Common
Share  dividend  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999  of  $0.405
represents a payout ratio of 95.3% of CAD.

         The  Company  expects to meet its cash needs in the short  term,  which
consist primarily of funding new investments,  operating  expenses and dividends
on the Common Shares and other equity,  from cash on hand,  operating cash flow,
equity  proceeds  and  securitization  proceeds.  The  Company's  business  plan
includes making additional investments during 2000.

Income Tax Considerations

         MuniMae is organized as a limited liability company and as a result, no
recognition  of  income  taxes  is  made.  Instead,  the  distributive  share of
MuniMae's  income,  deductions  and credits is  included  in each  shareholder's
income tax return. The Company records cash dividends received from subsidiaries
organized as corporations as dividend income for tax purposes.

         However, as a result of the Midland  acquisition,  in October 1999, the
Company restructured its operations into two segments,  an operating segment and
an investing segment (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements).  The
operating  segment,  which is directly or  indirectly  wholly  owned by MuniMae,
consists primarily of entities subject to income taxes. The Company provides for
income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.
109,  "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes"  ("SFAS  109").  SFAS  109  requires  the
recognition of deferred tax assets and  liabilities  for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary  differences  between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

         The Company has elected under Section 754 of the Internal  Revenue Code
to adjust  the basis of the  Company's  property  on the  transfer  of shares to
reflect the price each shareholder paid for their shares.  While the bulk of the
Company's recurring income is tax-exempt, from time to time the Company may sell
or securitize  various assets,  which may result in capital gains and losses for
tax purposes.  Since the Company is taxed as a partnership,  these capital gains
and  losses  are  passed  through  to  shareholders  and  are  reported  on each
shareholder's Schedule K-1. The capital gain and loss allocated from the Company
may be different to each  shareholder due to the Company's 754 election and is a
function of, among other  things,  the timing of the  shareholder's  purchase of
shares and the timing of  transactions  which  generate  gains or losses for the
Company.  This  means  that  for  assets  purchased  by the  Company  prior to a
shareholder's  purchase of shares, the shareholder's  basis in the assets may be
significantly  different than the Company's basis in those same assets. Although
the procedure for allocating the basis adjustment is complex,  the result of the
election is that each share is homogeneous,  while each  shareholder's  basis in
the assets of the Company may be different.  Consequently, the capital gains and
losses allocated to shareholders may be significantly different than the capital
gains and losses recorded by the Company.

         A portion of the  Company's  interest  income is derived  from  private
activity bonds that for income tax purposes, are considered tax preference items
for purposes of alternative  minimum tax ("AMT").  AMT is a mechanism within the
Internal Revenue Code to ensure that all taxpayers pay at least a minimum amount
of taxes. All taxpayers are subject to the AMT calculation requirements although
the vast  majority of  taxpayers  will not actually pay AMT. As a result of AMT,
the  percentage of the Company's  income that is exempt from federal  income tax
may be different for each shareholder depending on that shareholder's individual
tax situation.
