                        Notes to Financial Statements

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
      financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
      10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
      information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
      principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
      management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
      adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
      included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30,
      1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be
      expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further
      information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
      included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
      year ended December 31, 1998.

2.    INCOME TAXES
      As a limited liability company, it is intended that the Company will be
      classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and, as
      such, it generally will be treated as a "pass-through" entity that is
      not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, no provision for income
      taxes has been made for the periods presented.

3.         DISTRIBUTIONS
       In accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, Class A and
      Class B members will receive pro rata quarterly distributions of cash
      income, less expenses, from their respective class of net assets within
      90 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. All distributions are
      subject to a determination by the Managing Board that the Company will
      have sufficient cash on hand to meet its current and anticipated needs
      to fulfill its business purpose.




Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operation

Overview

On May 11, 1999, the Managing Board of the Company approved a contract with
WMF Proctor, a Michigan Corporation located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Pursuant to the terms of the contract, WMF Proctor will use its best efforts
to find buyers for the Company's outstanding mortgage loans.

The Managing Board also voted to approve the sale and disposition of the
Company's assets, to dissolve the Company, and to make interim distributions
of the Company's assets to Members in such amounts as may, from time to time,
be approved by the Executive Committee of the Managing Board; provided,
however, that distributions to certain Members who received their Membership
Interests by gift at the time of the Company's restructuring in December,
1996 may be deferred until the Company is dissolved, to the extent permitted
by the Company's Operating Agreement.

Funds that have not yet been invested in or committed for mortgage loans are
primarily invested in marketable securities. Income and principal received
with respect to the Company's investments in mortgage loans are also invested
in marketable securities pending distribution to members.

Pursuant to the resolution passed at the May 11, 1999 Managing Board meeting
related to the liquidation of Metropolitan Realty Company, a partial
distribution of $14,954,449 with respect to uninvested funds in Class A was
sent, pro rata, to all major members on June 30, 1999. There was no initial
distribution for Class B as the funds are fully invested in or committed for
mortgage investments.

Class A Assets and Class B Assets

As a result of the restructuring effective December 6, 1996, the Company
reports its financial condition and results of operations by segregating all
information into Class A membership interests and Class B membership
interests. Each class is distinguished by its differing member composition.

Interim Financial Statements

The Interim Financial Statements furnished include all adjustments which, in
the opinion of management, are necessary to reflect fair statements of the
results for the interim period presented and are recurring in nature.




Financial Condition and Results of Operation, Class A Membership Interests

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$492,000 versus $777,000 in the same period in 1998 - a 37 percent decrease.
The decrease relates primarily to the decrease in investment income as
approximately $15,000,000 in excess funds were distributed to major members
during the second quarter as discussed above.

The allowance for loan losses remains at $1,134,000 - unchanged since
December 31, 1998. Management reviews, on a regular basis, factors which may
adversely affect its mortgage loans, including occupancy levels, rental rates
and property values. It is possible that economic conditions in southeastern
Michigan, and the nation in general, may adversely affect certain of the
Company's loan assets. After evaluation of the loan portfolio and the
associated allowance for loan losses, management deemed the allowance of
$1,134,000 adequate to cover any potential future write-offs of loan assets.

The Company makes quarterly distributions of net income in accordance with
the Operating Agreement of the Company. During August of 1999, the Company
distributed approximately $582,000 to Class A Membership Interests relating
to second quarter 1999 cash income. Cumulative distributions for the year
include $1,564,000 distributed for quarterly net income and $14,954,449 as a
partial liquidation distribution as discussed above.

Management is not aware of any material unrecorded liabilities or
contingencies relating to Class A Membership Interests.

Financial Condition and Results of Operation,
Class B Membership Interests

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$362,000 versus $330,000 in the same period in 1998 - a 10 percent increase.
This resulted from a change in investment strategy and an overall increase in
yield.

The allowance for loan losses remains at $139,000 - unchanged since December
31, 1998. Management reviews, on a regular basis, factors which may adversely
affect its mortgage loans, including occupancy levels, rental rates and
property values. It is possible that economic conditions in southeastern
Michigan, and the nation in general, may adversely affect certain of the
Company's loan assets. After evaluation of the loan portfolio and the
associated allowance for loan losses, management deemed the allowance of
$139,000 adequate to cover any potential future write-offs of loan assets.

The Company makes quarterly distributions of net income in accord with the
Operating Agreement of the Company. During August of 1999, the Company
distributed approximately $377,000 to Class B Membership Interests relating
to second quarter 1999 cash income. Cumulative distributions for the year
include $731,000 distributed for quarterly net income.

Management is not aware of any material unrecorded liabilities or
contingencies relating to Class B Membership Interests.
