                           ASR INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 For the Quarters Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  do not
include all of the  information and  disclosures  generally  required for annual
financial  statements.  They  include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries  (collectively the "Company").  Investments in joint ventures
in which the Company does not own a controlling interest are accounted for under
the equity method. All significant  inter-company balances and transactions have
been eliminated.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim consolidated
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the December 31, 1994
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

         Certain  reclassification has been made to conform the prior years with
the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

         At December 31, 1994,  the Company owned directly  seventeen  apartment
communities  (2,461  units)  located  in  Arizona,  Texas,  and New  Mexico.  In
addition,  the Company owned four apartment  communities  (928 units) located in
Arizona through joint ventures with a pension plan affiliate of Citicorp.

         In February 1995, the Company  purchased a 222-unit  community in Mesa,
Arizona for  $6,356,000  ($28,631  per unit).  The  purchase  was  financed by a
$3,770,000  loan  bearing a  variable  interest  rate at 225 basis  points  over
three-month LIBOR.

         In  February  1995,  the  Company  also  acquired a 163-unit  community
through a joint venture with a pension plan affiliate of Citicorp.  The property

NOTE 3 - MORTGAGE ASSETS

         The mortgage interests entitle the Company to receive the excess of the
cash flow on pools of  mortgage  instruments  over the  required  payments  on a
series of structured financing which they secure. The Company also has the right
to cause  the early  redemption  of the  structured  financing  under  specified
limited  conditions.  In such event, the mortgage  instruments would be sold and
the net proceeds, if any, after the redemption of the structured financing would
be remitted  to the  Company.  At March 31,  1995 and  December  31,  1994,  the
effective  prospective  yield,  based on the estimated future cash flows and the
net carrying value, on the net mortgage assets was approximately 29%.

         During the first quarter of 1995, the Company  exercised the redemption
rights  associated  with one  mortgage  asset and sold the  underlying  mortgage
collateral at a gain of $783,000 and received net proceeds of approximately $2.8
million.


NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE

         In February  1995, as provided for by the terms of the loan  agreement,
the Company  prepaid the entire balance of the notes payable secured by mortgage
assets.  The  Company  recorded  a  credit  to  income  for the  excess  accrued
prepayment  premium of $2,420,000;  such credit has been included in the gain on
redemption of mortgage assets.

         In April 1995,  the  Company  prepaid the  unsecured  notes  payable as
provided for by the terms of the note  agreement at a discount of $311,000 which
will be recorded as a credit to income in the quarter ending June 30, 1995.

         In April 1995,  the Company  acquired the other 50% interest in a joint
venture to develop a 356-unit apartment community in Tempe, Arizona. The Company
issued a $2,186,000 note secured by the land which is due on September 15, 1995.


NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Subject to the  supervision of the Company's  Board of Directors,  Pima
Mortgage Limited  Partnership (the "Manager") manages the day-to-day  operations
of the  Company  pursuant to a  management  agreement  which has a current  term
through  December  31,  1995.  The  Management  fees paid to the Manager for the
quarters  ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were  $94,000 and  $145,000 for the base
management fee amd $56,000 and $65,000 for administrative service.


         The  Company  has a  property  management  agreement  with Pima  Realty
Advisors,  Inc. (the "Property Manager"),  an affiliate of the Manager, for each
of its  apartment  properties.  Under the property  management  agreements,  the
Property Manager provides the customary property management services at its cost
without profit or distributions to its owners,  subject to the limitation of the
prevailing  management fee rates for similar properties in the market. The costs
are  allocated to the Company  monthly based on the ratio of the number of units
owned by the  Company  relative  to the total  apartment  units  managed  by the
Property  Manager.  For the  quarters  ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,  the costs
allocated to the Company were  $112,000 and $49,000 (net of an allocated  credit
of $54,000  applicable  only in 1994).  The costs  approximate  3.2% and 1.8% of
rental income for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.




                           ASR INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS
                 FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994




General

         ASR Investments  Corporation (the Company) is a real estate  investment
trust  engaged   primarily  in  the   acquisition  and  operation  of  apartment
communities  in the  Southwestern  United  States.  In January 1994, the Company
acquired its initial portfolio of seventeen  apartment  communities (2,461 units
located  in  Arizona,  Texas and New  Mexico.  In the second  half of 1994,  the
Company  acquired four communities (928 units) in Arizona through joint ventures
with a pension  plan  affiliate  of  Citicorp.  In  February  1995,  the Company
acquired a 222-unit  community in Arizona  directly and a 163-unit  community in
Arizona  through a joint venture with a pension plan affiliate of Citicorp.  The
Company is a 15% equity partner and the managing  member of the joint  ventures.
The Company  will  receive  between 15% and 51% of the net profits and cash flow
depending on the ultimate performance of the joint ventures.

         In addition to the apartment communities,  the Company continues to own
mortgage  assets.  The  Company  uses cash  flows from the  mortgage  assets for
apartment acquisition and other corporate purposes.

Results of Operations

         The Company had net income of $3,359,000  for the first quarter of 1995
compared to $1,218,000 for the first quarter of 1994. The income in 1995 results
from increases in income from both the apartments and mortgage assets.

         In the first quarter 1995,  operating  income  (before debt service and
depreciation)  from the apartments was $1,995,000 which, after deducting related
interest expense,  is a 10% increase from the first quarter 1994. As a result of
high  demand,  rental rates in the  Company's  apartment  communities  were 4.3%
higher in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

         Income from  mortgage  assets for the first  quarter of 1995  decreased
from the first quarter of 1994 due to lower balances as a result of amortization
of the assets.  The effect is  mitigated  by a higher yield in 1995 due to lower
mortgage  prepayment  rates.  The Company realized gains in the first quarter of
1995 of  $3,158,000,  which  consisted of $738,000  from the  redemption  of one
mortgage  asset  and  the  sale  of  the  underlying  mortgage  instruments  and
$2,420,000 from the reversal of the excess prepayment penalty accrued in 1993.

         Operating  expenses  for the first  quarter 1995  increased  due to the
accrual of expenses  relating to the stock  appreciation  rights  ($705,000) and
dividend  equivalent  payments  on the  options  and stock  appreciation  rights
($200,000).  These  increases were  partially  offset by lower  management  fees
($51,000) and the Company's efforts to reduce operating expenses.

         Interest and other income decreased in 1995 due to lower cash balances.
Real estate interest expense increased because of the borrowing  incurred in the
first quarter 1995 in connection with the acquisition of the 222-unit  community
located in Mesa, Arizona.  Interest expense related to mortgage assets decreased
due to the payoff of the notes in February 1995.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments

         Cash provided by  operations  for the first quarter of 1995 were higher
due to the  redemption  of one  mortgage  asset  and the sale of the  underlying
mortgage  instruments.  Cash used in investing activities was much lower for the
1995 quarter as the company  purchased  its initial  apartment  portfolio in the
first quarter of 1994.  Additionally,  cash provided by financing activities was
lower in the first  quarter  of 1995 due to the  payoff of the note  secured  by
mortgage  assets in 1995,  the payment of dividends in first quarter of 1995 and
the issuance of notes related to the initial apartment portfolio acquired in the
first quarter of 1994.

         The Company  currently  depends  primarily on the cash flows  generated
from  its  existing  mortgage  assets  to  fund  its  acquisition  of  apartment
communities.  During the  quarter  ended March 31,  1995,  the  mortgage  assets
generated  cash flows of  $5,089,000.  Below are  estimates of future cash flows
from the mortgage  assets  beginning  with April 1995 using three  interest rate
assumptions.  Case 2  represents  approximate  interest  rates and  forecasts of
prepayments rates made by market  participants at March 31, 1995. The percentage
shown  for  assumed  mortgage  prepayments  represents  the  average  of  annual
prepayments assumed for the underlying mortgages (dollars are in thousands:)

                                         ========       ========       ========

         At March 31, 1995, the Company had cash of $976,000 and short-term real
estate notes receivable of $1,012,000. The Company intends to use such funds for
acquisition  of  apartments,  capital  improvements  on existing  properties and
working capital.

         In February 1995,  the Company  prepaid the entire balance of the notes
payable  secured by mortgage  assets.  As a result,  the mortgage  assets are no
longer encumbered. These mortgage assets can be used as collateral for financing
for the Company.

         In April 1995, the Company  prepaid the unsecured  notes  payable.  The
Company borrowed $3,000,000 under a reverse repurchase agreement that is secured
by certain  mortgage  assets with an aggregate book value of $4,163,000 at March
31, 1995.

Inflation

         The apartment  leases  generally are for terms of six to twelve months.
Management  believes that such short-term  leases lessen the impact of inflation
as a result of the  ability to adjust  rental  rates to market  levels as leases
expire. To the extent that the inflation rate influences federal monetary policy
and results in rising short-term interest rates or declines in mortgage interest
rates,  the income and cash flows from the  mortgage  assets  would be adversely
affected.
