AMERICA FIRST MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)

1.  Organization

America First Mortgage Investments, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 
Maryland on July 24, 1997, but had no operations prior to April 10, 1998.

On April 10, 1998, (the Merger Date) the Company and three partnerships; 
America First Participating/Preferred Equity Mortgage Fund Limited Partnership 
(Prep Fund 1), America First Prep Fund 2 Limited Partnership (Prep Fund 2), 
America First Prep Fund 2 Pension Series Limited Partnership (Pension Fund), 
consummated a merger transaction whereby their preexisting net assets and 
operations or majority interest in the preexisting partnership were 
contributed to the Company in exchange for 9,035,084 shares of the Company's 
common stock.  For financial accounting purposes, Prep Fund 1, the largest of 
the three Partnerships, was considered the Predecessor entity (the 
Predecessor) and its historical operating results are presented in the 
financial statements contained herein.  The Merger was accounted for using the 
purchase method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.  Prep Fund 1 was deemed 
to be the acquirer of the other Partnerships under the purchase method.  
Accordingly, the Merger resulted, for financial accounting purposes, in the 
effective purchase by Prep Fund 1 of all the BUCs of Prep Fund 2 and 
approximately 98% of the BUCs of Pension Fund.  As the surviving entity for 
financial accounting purposes, the assets and liabilities of Prep Fund 1 were 
recorded by the Company at their historical cost and the assets and 
liabilities of Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund were adjusted to fair value.  The 
excess of the fair value of stock issued over the fair value of net assets 
acquired has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A)  Method of Accounting
    The accompanying 1998 consolidated financial statements include the 
    consolidated accounts of the Company from April 10, 1998 through June 30, 
    1998, and the combined accounts of Prep Fund 1 and America First 
    Participating/Preferred Equity Mortgage Fund Limited Partnership (the 
    managing general partner of Prep Fund 1) (together referred to as the 
    Predecessor) for periods prior to the Merger.  The financial statements 
    are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with 
    generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, 
    all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 
    30, 1998, and results of operations for all periods presented have been 
    made.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
    combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
    Predecessor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
    1997.

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 
    and its subsidiary, Pension Fund.  In addition, as more fully discussed in 
    Note 5, the Company had an investment in a corporation which it does not 
    control and which it accounts for under the equity method.  All significant 
    intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in 
    consolidation. 

    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.

B)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid 
    investments with original maturities of three months or less.  The 
    carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

C)  Mortgage Securities
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for 
    Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115), requires 
    the Company to classify its investments as either held-to-maturity, 
    available-for-sale or trading.  In order to be prepared to respond to 
    potential future opportunities in the market, to sell Mortgage Securities 
    in order to optimize the portfolio's total return and to retain its 
    ability to respond to economic conditions that require the Company to sell 
    assets in order to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity, the Company 
    has classified all its Mortgage Securities as available-for-sale.  
    Although the Company generally intends to hold most of its Mortgage 
    Securities until maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of it 
    Mortgage Securities as part of its overall management of it balance 
    sheet.  Accordingly, to maintain flexibility, the Company currently 
    classifies all of its Mortgage Securities as available-for sale. 

    Certain Mortgage Securities classified as available-for-sale on the June 
    30, 1998, balance sheet of the Company were classified as held-to-maturity 
    on the December 31, 1997 balance sheet of the Predecessor.  (See Note 3).  

    Mortgage Securities which were classified as held-to-maturity were carried 
    at amortized cost.  Mortgage Securities classified as available-for-sale 
    are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from 
    earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity or 
    partners' capital.

    Unrealized losses on Mortgage Securities that are considered 
    other-than-temporary, as measured by the amount of decline in fair value 
    attributable to factors other than temporary, are recognized in income and 
    the cost basis of the Mortgage Security is adjusted.  Other-than-temporary 
    unrealized losses are based on management's assessment of various factors 
    affecting the expected cash flow from the Mortgage Securities, including 
    an other-than-temporary deterioration of the credit quality of the 
    underlying mortgages and /or the credit protection available to the 
    related mortgage pool. 

    Gains or losses on the sale of Mortgage Securities are based on the 
    specific identification method.   

    Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of 
    the Mortgage Securities and their contractual terms.  Premiums and 
    discounts associated with the purchase of the Mortgage Securities are 
    amortized into interest income over the lives of the securities using the 
    effective yield method based on, among other things, anticipated estimated 
    prepayments.  Such calculations are periodically adjusted for actual 
    prepayment activity.

D)  Credit Risk
    The Company limits its exposure to credit losses on its portfolio of 
    Mortgage Securities and mortgage loans by requiring that at least 70% of 
    the Company's Mortgage Investment portfolio consist of Mortgage Securities 
    or mortgage loans that are either (i) insured or guaranteed by an agency of
    the U.S. government, such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac, (ii) 
    rated in one of the two highest rating categories by either Standard & 
    Poor's or Moody's, or (iii) considered to be of equivalent credit quality 
    as determined by the Advisor and approved by the Company's investment 
    committee.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company's Mortgage Investments 
    consisted only of Mortgage Securities insured or guaranteed by the U.S. 
    government.

    The Company monitors the delinquencies and losses on the underlying 
    mortgages of its Mortgage Securities.  An allowance for credit losses will 
    be made for possible credit losses at a level deemed appropriate by 
    management.  The allowance will be evaluated and adjusted periodically by 
    management based on the actual and projected timing and amount of 
    potential credit losses, as well as industry loss experience.  At June 30, 
    1998, management determined no allowance for credit losses was necessary.

E)  Other Investments
    Other investments consist of (i) direct investments in multifamily 
    projects collateralizing mortgage loans owned by the Company, (ii) 
    investments in limited partnerships owning real estate (PEPs) and (iii) a 
    corporation owning interests in real estate limited partnerships.     

F)  Net income per Share
    Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common 
    shares and common equivalent shares (e.g., stock options), if dilutive, 
    outstanding during the period.  Basic net income per share is computed by 
    dividing net income available to shareholders by the weighted average 
    number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net 
    income per share is computed by dividing the diluted net income available 
    to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and 
    common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  The common 
    equivalent shares are calculated using the treasury stock method which 
    assumes that all dilutive common stock equivalents are exercised and the 
    funds generated by the exercise are used to buy back outstanding common 
    stock at the average market price during the reported period.   

    As more fully discussed in Note 7, options to purchase 520,000 shares of 
    common stock were issued during the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  Because 
    the average stock price during the quarter was less than the exercise 
    price, exercise of such securities under the treasury stock method would 
    be anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, these potentially dilutive securities were 
    not considered in fully diluted earnings per share and, as a result, basic 
    and fully diluted net income per share are the same for such period.  With 
    regard to the Predecessor, basic and diluted net income per Unit of the 
    Predecessor were the same for all periods presented as no dilutive 
    equivalent units existed.

G)  Comprehensive Income
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting 
    Comprehensive Income requires the Company and the Predecessor to display 
    and report comprehensive income, which includes all changes in 
    Stockholders' Equity or Partners Capital with the exception of additional 
    investments by or dividends to shareholders of the Company or additional 
    investments by or distributions to partners of the Predecessor.  
    Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income and the change in 
    net unrealized holding gains on investments charged or credited to 
    Stockholders' Equity.  Comprehensive income for the Predecessor includes 
    net income and the change in net unrealized holding gains on investments 
    charged or credited to Partner's Capital.  Comprehensive income for the 
    quarters and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

    The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust 
    (REIT) under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the 
    corresponding provisions of state law.  Accordingly, the Company will not 
    be subject to federal or state income tax to the extent of its 
    distributions to stockholders.  In order to maintain its status as a REIT, 
    the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute at least 
    95% of its taxable income.  As such, no provision for income taxes has 
    been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

    Since the Predecessor was a partnership, it has not made a provision for 
    income taxes since its Beneficial Unit Certificate (BUC) Holders are 
    required to report their share of the Predecessor's income for federal and 
    state income tax purposes.

J)  Reclassifications
    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 
    current period classification.

K)  New Accounting Pronouncement
    In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued 
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative 
    Instruments and Hedging Activities " (FAS 133).  This statement provides 
    new accounting and reporting standards for the use of derivative 
    instruments.  Adoption of this statement is required by the Company 
    effective January 1, 2000.  Management intends to adopt the statement as 
    required in fiscal 2000.  Although the Company and its Predecessor have 
    not historically used such instruments, it is not precluded from doing 
    so.  Management anticipates using such instruments to manage interest rate 
    risk.  Management believes that the impact of such adoption will not be 
    material to the financial statements.

3.  Mortgage Securities

The following tables present the Company's Mortgage Securities as of June 30, 
1998 and the Predecessor's Mortgage Securities as of December 31, 1997.  The 
Mortgage Securities classified as available-for sale are carried at their fair

</TABLE>

Certain securities classified as available-for-sale on the June 30, 1998, 
balance sheet of the Company were classified as held-to-maturity on the 
December 31, 1997 balance sheet of the Predecessor.  Based on the differing 
investment objectives of the Company, it was determined that it would be more 
appropriate to classify such securities as available-for-sale rather than 
held-to-maturity.  Accordingly, on the Merger Date, such securities were 
transferred from the held-to-maturity classification to the available-for-sale 
classification.  The total amortized cost, net unrealized holding losses and 
the aggregate fair value of the securities transferred were $14,027,386, 
$704,828 and $13,322,558, respectively.

At June 30, 1998, Mortgage Securities consisted of pools of adjustable-rate 
Mortgage Securities with a carrying value of $101,749,315 which were acquired 
since the Merger Date and fixed-rate Mortgage Securities with a carrying value 
of $51,131,524.  At June 30, 1998, Mortgage Securities consisted of Government 
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Certificates, Federal National Mortgage 
Association (FNMA) Certificates, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 
(FHLMC) Certificates.  The GNMA Certificates are backed by first mortgage 
loans on multifamily residential properties and pools of single-family 
properties.  The FNMA Certificates and FHLMC Certificates are backed by pools 
of single-family properties.  The GNMA Certificates are debt securities issued 
by a private mortgage lender and are guaranteed by GNMA as to the full and 
timely payment of principal and interest on the underlying loans.  The FNMA 
Certificates are debt securities issued by FNMA and are guaranteed by FNMA as 
to the full and timely payment of principal and interest on the underlying 
loans. The FHLMC Certificates are debt securities issued by FHLMC and are 
guaranteed by FHLMC as to the full and timely payment of principal and 
interest on the underlying loans.  At December 31, 1997, Mortgage Securities 
consisted of GNMA Certificates and FNMA Certificates.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $46.8 million of 
commitments to purchase Mortgage Securities.

4.  Real Estate Held for Sale

Certain real estate assets acquired in connection with the Merger were not 
considered consistent with the investment objectives of the Company.  As a 
consequence, the Company has classified such assets as held for sale upon 
consummation of the Merger and is investigating opportunities to sell such 
assets.  Two of the three rental properties were transferred from the 
Predecessor at carryover basis and the remaining property was acquired at fair 
value.  Based on estimates of net realizable value, as adjusted for costs to 
sell, management does not anticipate that such a sale would necessitate an 
impairment reserve under SFAS 121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long Lived 
Assets".  During the period assets are held for sale, no depreciation will be 
reflected in the Company's financial statements.

6.  Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Company has entered into several reverse repurchase agreements to finance 
Mortgage Securities purchased since the Merger Date.  The reverse repurchase 
agreements are collateralized by the Company's Mortgage Securities with a 
principal balance of approximately $104 million and bear interest at rates that 
are LIBOR based.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding $99,117,208 of reverse 
repurchase agreements with a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.62% and a 
weighted average remaining maturity of 3.55 months.  As of June 30, 1998, all 
of the Company's borrowings were fixed-rate term reverse repurchase agreements 
with original maturities that range from 3 to 6 months.

At June 30, 1998, the reverse repurchase agreements had the following 
remaining maturities:

7.  Stockholders' Equity

1997 Stock Option Plan
- ----------------------
The Company has a 1997 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which authorizes the 
granting of options to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 shares of the 
outstanding shares, but not more than 10% of the shares of the Company's 
common stock.  The Plan authorizes the Board of Directors, or a committee of 
the Board of Directors, to grant Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) as defined 
under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, Non-Qualified Stock Options 
(NQSOs) and Dividend Equivalent Rights (DERs) to eligible persons, other than 
non-employee directors.  Non-employee directors are automatically provided 
periodic grants of NQSOs with DERs pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  
The exercise price for any options granted to eligible persons, other than 
non-employee directors, under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market 
value of the common stock on the day of the grant.  The exercise price for any 
options granted to non-employee directors under the Plan shall be the fair 
market value of the common stock on the day of the grant.  Twenty-five percent 
of the options become exercisable at the time the option is granted.  
Thereafter each year, for the next three years, 25% of the total amount of the 
options shall cumulatively become exercisable upon the anniversary of the date 
of grant.  The options expire if not exercised ten years after the date 
granted. 

During the quarter ended and as of June 30, 1998, there were 500,000 ISOs 
granted to buy common shares at an exercise price of $9.375 per share, of 
which 125,000 were vested and exercisable. In addition, there were 20,000 
NQSOs issued at an exercise price of $9.375 per share, of which 5,000 were 
vested and exercisable.  No options were exercised during the quarter ended 
and as of June 30, 1998. 

In addition to options, 125,000 and 5,000 DERs were granted on the ISOs and 
NQSOs, respectively, during the quarter ended June 30,1998, based on the 
provisions of the Plan.  In connection with the options discussed above the 
recipients were also granted DERs which vest on the same basis as the options 
and payments are made on vested DERs only.  Dividends paid on ISOs are charged 
to stockholders' equity when declared and dividends paid on NQSOs are charged 
to earnings when declared.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company 
recorded a $500 charge to earnings associated with the DERs on ISOs and a 
$12,500 charge to stockholders' equity of associated with DERs on NQSOs.

The options and related DERs issued were accounted for under the provisions of 
SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation".  Because the ISOs were 
not issued to officers who are direct employees of the Company, ISOs granted 
were accounted for under the option value method and a periodic change will be 
recognized based on the vesting schedule.  The change of options which vested 
at date of grant were included as capitalized transaction costs in connection 
with the Merger.  Management estimated the value of the ISOs at the date of 
grant to be approximately $1.88 per share using a Black-Scholes valuation 
model, as adjusted for the discounted value of dividends not to be received 
under the unvested DERs.  In the absence of comparable historical market 
information for the Company, management utilized assumptions consistent with 
activity of a comparable peer group of companies including an estimated option 
life of five years, a 25% volatility rate and a risk-free rate of 5.5% and a 
dividend yield of 0% (because of the DERs).  NQSOs granted were accounted for 
using the intrinsic method and, accordingly, no earnings charge was reflected 
since the exercise price was equal to the fair market value of the common 
stock at the date of the grant.

Dividends
- ---------
On June 18, 1998, the Company declared a distribution of $.265 per share for 
the quarter ending June 30, 1998, which is to be paid on August 14, 1998, to 
shareholders of record as of June 30, 1998.  The distribution consists in part 
of a dividend paid from earnings and in part of a cash merger payment, 
representing a return of capital.  

8.  Related Party Transactions

America First Mortgage Advisory Corporation (the Advisor) manages the 
operations and investments of the Company and performs administrative services 
for the Company.  In turn, the Advisor receives a management fee payable 
monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 1.10% per annum of the first $300 
million of Stockholders' Equity of the Company, plus .80% per annum of the 
portion of Stockholders' Equity of the Company above $300 million.  The 
Company also pays the Advisor, as incentive compensation for each fiscal 
quarter, an amount equal to 20% of the dollar amount by which the annualized 
Return on Equity for such fiscal quarter exceeds the amount necessary to 
provide an annualized Return on Equity equal to the Ten-Year U.S. Treasury 
Rate plus 1%.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Advisor earned a 
base management fee of $181,376.  The Advisor was eligible to receive  
incentive compensation of approximately $8,400 for the quarter ended June 30, 
1998.

America First Properties Management Company L.L.C., (the Manager), provides 
property management services for certain of the multifamily properties in 
which the Company has an interest.  The Manager also provided property 
management services to certain properties previously associated with the 
Predecessor which were acquired in the Merger.  The Manager receives a 
management fee equal to a stated percentage of the gross revenues generated by 
the properties under management, ranging from 4.5% to 5% of gross revenues.  
Such fees paid by the Company for periods after the Merger Date amounted to 
$70,583 and such fees paid by the Predecessor for periods prior to the Merger 
Date amounted to $71,125.

Prior to the Merger Date, AFCA 3 was entitled to an administrative fee of .35% 
per annum of the outstanding amount of investments of Prep Fund 1 to be paid 
by Prep Fund 1 to the extent such amount is not paid by property owners.  In 
1998, AFCA 3 earned administrative fees of $53,617.  Of this amount, $38,069 
was paid by Prep Fund 1 and the remainder was paid by property owners.

AMERICA FIRST MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

General

Prior to the Merger (described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated 
financial statements), the Company was a newly formed real estate investment 
trust (REIT) which had no operations of its own. 

On April 10, 1998, the Company and three partnerships; America First 
Participating/Preferred Equity Mortgage Fund Limited Partnership (Prep Fund 
1), America First Prep Fund 2 Limited Partnership (Prep Fund 2), America First 
Prep Fund 2 Pension Series Limited Partnership (Pension Fund), consummated a 
merger transaction whereby their preexisting net assets and operations or 
majority interest in the preexisting partnership were contributed to the 
Company in exchange for 9,035,084 shares of the Company's common stock.  For 
financial accounting purposes, Prep Fund 1, the largest of the three 
Partnerships, was considered the Predecessor entity (the Predecessor) and its 
historical operating results are presented in the financial statements 
contained herein.  The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting in accordance with GAAP.  Prep Fund 1 was deemed to be the 
acquirer of the other Partnerships under the purchase method.  Accordingly, 
the Merger resulted, for financial accounting purposes, in the effective 
purchase by Prep Fund 1 of all the BUCs of Prep Fund 2 and approximately 98% 
of the BUCs of Pension Fund.  As the surviving entity for financial accounting 
purposes, the assets and liabilities of Prep Fund 1 were recorded by the 
Company at their historical cost and the assets and liabilities of Prep Fund 2 
and Pension Fund were adjusted to fair value.  The excess of the fair value of 
stock issued over the fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded as 
goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet.

Concurrently with the Merger, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement 
with America First Mortgage Advisory Corporation (the "Advisor") and adopted 
an investment policy which significantly differed from that pursued by the 
predecessor partnerships.  This strategy includes leveraged investing in 
adjustable rate mortgage securities and mortgage loans.  The Company began 
implementing this investment strategy in the second quarter of 1998.  During 
the period from the consummation of the Merger through June 30, 1998, the 
Company purchased six positions in mortgage backed securities for an aggregate 
purchase cost of approximately $103 million.  Subsequent to June 30, 1998 
through August 14, 1998, the Company acquired three additional positions for 
an aggregate purchase cost of approximately $58.8 million.

The Company intends to elect to qualify as a REIT under the Code beginning 
with its 1998 taxable year and, as such, anticipates distributing annually at 
least 95% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments.  Generally, 
cash for such distributions is expected to be largely generated from the 
Company's operations, although the Company may borrow funds to make 
distributions.  Further, as part of the Merger transaction, Company has 
committed to make distributions in the first year following the Merger of at 
least $1.06 per common share, to be paid in four equal quarterly installments, 
which is expected to significantly exceed taxable income.  Accordingly, a 
portion of distributions received by shareholders in 1998 and 1999 will 
consist in part of a dividend paid from earnings and in part of a cash merger 
payment, representing non-taxable return of capital.  There is no commitment 
by the Company to distribute amounts in excess of taxable income beyond the 
first year of operations.

The Company's operations for any period may be affected by a number of factors 
including the investment assets held, general economic conditions affecting 
underlying borrowers and, most significantly, factors which affect the 
interest rate market.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, 
including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international 
economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond the control of 
the Company.

The Merger, other related transactions and on-going implementation of the 
change in investment strategy will materially impact the Company's future 
operations as compared to those of the Predecessor, or the Company's current 
level of operations.  Accordingly, the currently reported financial 
information is not necessarily indicative of the Company's future operating 
results or financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires capital to fund its investment strategy and pay its 
operating expenses.  The Company's capital sources upon consummation of the 
Merger include cash flow from operations, borrowings under reverse repurchase 
agreements and mortgage loans on the Company's remaining direct real estate 
investments, which are currently held for sale.  

Since the Merger , the Company has primarily financed its mortgage investments 
through reverse repurchase agreements with aggregate balances of between $8.6 
million and $28.2 million, respectively.  These arrangements have original 
terms to maturity ranging from one month to six months and annual interest 
rates based on LIBOR.  

The Company believes it has adequate financial resources to meet its 
obligations as they come due and fund committed dividends as well as to 
actively pursue its new investment policy.

Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to 1997

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, total interest income increased 
$760,972  as compared to total interest income of the Predecessor for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997.  This increase is a result of the interest 
generated by mortgage investments acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund 
in the Merger as well as the acquisition of additional mortgage investments 
during 1998.

Rental income increased $749,981 as compared to that of the Predecessor as a 
result of (i) a reclassification of certain assets to investments in real 
estate as of the Merger Date and (ii) additional rental income realized from 
real estate acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund in the Merger.

The Company realized a gain of $385,000 from the sale of a mortgage loan on 
May 1, 1998 and a gain of $29,710 on the sale of other investments.  The 
reduction of $96,914 in income from other investments was primarily due to 
this sale.

The increase in the Company's interest expense on borrowed funds during the 
three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to that of the Predecessor for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997, relates to interest expense on reverse 
repurchase arrangements used to fund additional investments. 

Real estate operating expenses and interest expense on mortgage loans 
increased $673,577 as compared to that of the Predecessor as a result of (i) a 
reclassification of certain assets to investments in real estate as of the 
Merger Date and (ii) additional real estate operating expenses realized from 
real estate acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund in the Merger.

No depreciation was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 1998 because 
all real estate assets were classified as held for sale.

General and administrative expenses increased $245,843 as compared to  that of 
the Predecessor as a result of (i) the management fee payable to the Advisor 
and (ii) the increased scope of operations resulting from the Merger.

Six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, total interest income increased 
$712,677 as compared to total interest income of the Predecessor for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997.  This increase is a result of the interest 
generated by mortgage investments acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund 
in the Merger as well as the acquisition of additional mortgage investments 
during 1998.

Rental income increased $519,784 as compared to that of the Predecessor as a 
result of (i) a reclassification of certain assets to investments in real 
estate as of the Merger Date and (ii) additional rental income realized from 
real estate acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund in the Merger.

The Company realized a gain of $385,000 from the sale of a mortgage loan on 
May 1, 1998 and a gain of $29,710 on the sale of other investments.  The 
reduction of $96,914 in income from other investments was primarily due to 
this sale.

The increase in the Company's interest expense on borrowed funds during the 
six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to that of the Predecessor for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997, relates to interest expense on reverse repurchase 
arrangements used to fund additional investments.

Real estate operating expenses and interest expense on mortgage loans 
increased $471,749 as compared to that of the Predecessor as a result of (i) a 
reclassification of certain assets to investments in real estate as of the 
Merger Date and (ii) additional real estate operating expenses realized from 
real estate acquired from Prep Fund 2 and Pension Fund in the Merger.

Depreciation decreased $103,996 as compared to that of the Predecessor because 
all real estate assets were classified as held for sale as of the Merger Date.

General and administrative expenses increased $426,435 as compared to  that of 
the Predecessor as a result of (i) the management fee payable to the Advisor 
and (ii) the increased scope of operations resulting from the Merger.

Interest Rate Risks

The Company's operating results will depend in part on the difference between 
the interest income earned on its interest-earned assets and the interest 
expense incurred in connection with its interest-bearing liabilities.  
Competition from other providers of investment capital may lead to a lowering 
of the interest rate earned on the Company's interest bearing assets which the 
Company may not be able to offset by obtaining lower interest costs on its 
borrowings.  Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the 
economy can affect the spread between the Company's interest-earning assets 
and interest-bearing liabilities.  Any significant compression of the spreads 
between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities could have 
material adverse effect on the Company.  In addition, an increase in interest 
rates could, among other things, reduce the value of the Company's 
interest-bearing assets and its ability to realize gains from the sale of such 
assets, and a decrease in the interest rates could reduce the average life of 
the Company's interest earning assets.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental 
monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political 
considerations, and other factors beyond the control of the Company.  The 
Company may employ various hedging strategies to limit the effects of changes 
in interest rates on its operations, including asset liability matching, which 
represents the current strategy, or engaging in active hedging using 
derivative instruments including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other 
interest rate exchange contracts.  There can be no assurance that the 
profitability of the Company or the value of the Company's investment assets 
will not be adversely affected during any period as a result of changing 
interest rates.  In addition, hedging transactions involve certain additional 
risks such as counter-party credit risk, legal enforceability of hedging 
contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest 
will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract.  With regard to loss 
of basis in a hedging contract, indices upon which contracts are priced may be 
more or less variable than the indices upon which the hedged loans are priced, 
thereby making the hedge less effective.  There can be no assurance that the 
Company will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and 
that the Company will ultimately realize an economic benefit from any hedging 
contract it enters into. 

Other Matters

The Company at all times intends to conduct its business so as to not become 
regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  
If the Company were to become regulated as an investment company, then, among 
other things, the Company's ability to use leverage would be substantially 
reduced.  The Investment Company Act exempts entities that are "primarily 
engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and 
other liens on and interests in real estate" (i.e. "Qualifying Interests").  
Under the current interpretation of the staff of the SEC, in order to qualify 
for this exemption, the Company must maintain at least 55% of its assets 
directly in Qualifying Interests.  In addition, unless certain Mortgage 
Securities represent an undivided interest in the entire pool backing such 
Mortgage Securities (i.e. "Whole Pool" Mortgage Securities), such Mortgage 
Securities may be treated as securities separate from the underlying Mortgage 
Loan, thus, may not be considered Qualifying Interests for purposes of the 55% 
exemption requirement.  Accordingly, the Company monitors its compliance with 
this requirement in order to maintain its exempt status.  As of June 30, 1998, 
the Company calculates that it is in and has maintained compliance with this 
requirement. 

Forward Looking Statements

When used in this Form 10-Q, in future SEC filings or in press releases or 
other written or oral communications, the words or phrases "will likely 
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", 
"project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward looking 
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995.  The Company cautions that such forward looking statements 
speak only as of the date made and that various factors including regional 
and national economic conditions, changes in levels of market interest 
rates, credit and other risks of lending and investment activities, and 
competitive and regulatory factors could affect the Company's financial 
performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ 
materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to 
update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after 
the date of such statements.

     Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.  The 
requirements of Item 3 of Form 10-Q are not applicable to the Company prior to
