3.  MORTGAGE ASSETS

            The mortgage assets entitle the Company to receive the excess of the
cash flows on pools of  mortgage  instruments  over the  required  payments on a
series of structured  financing that they secure. The Company also has the right
to cause  the early  redemption  of the  structured  financing  under  specified
conditions;  in such  event,  the  mortgage  instruments  are  sold  and the net
proceeds after the  redemption of the  structured  financing are remitted to the
Company.  In some cases, the Company sells the mortgage asset that is redeemable
in the foreseeable  future Redemption and sale  transactions  occur from time to
time as  specified  conditions  are met rather  than on a monthly  or  quarterly
basis; therefore,  the amount of net proceeds and the income from the redemption
transactions fluctuates significantly between periods.

            At  June  30,  1996,  the  prospective   yield  on  mortgage  assets
(excluding the mortgage assets sold in July) was 39%.

            During the second quarter of 1996,  the Company  redeemed a mortgage
asset that in the first  quarter of 1996 the  Company  had sold a 40%  interest.
From this sale and redemption,  the Company  received cash flow of $3,600,000 in
the second  quarter of 1996 and  $6,000,000 in the first six months of 1996. The
Company also realized  redemption  income of $3,010,000 and $4,987,000  from the
sale and  redemption  for the three  months and six months  ended June 30, 1996,
respectively.  In July 1996,  the  Company  sold six  mortgage  assets for total
proceeds of $5,750,000 and estimated income of $2,700,000 which will be recorded
in the third quarter of 1996.

4.  NOTES PAYABLE

            At June 30, 1996 and  December 31, 1995,  the  Company's  short-term
borrowing  was  secured  by  mortgage  assets  with a total  carrying  value  of
$5,632,000  and  $7,639,000,  respectively.  In July 1996, the Company paid down
$430,000 on the short-term borrowing.

            As  discussed  in Note 2, the  Company  has  obtained a  $15,350,000
construction  loan to  finance  the  construction  of its  Finisterra  apartment
community.  The loan bears interest at 1% per annum above the bank's prime rate.
At June 30, 1996, the amount outstanding on the loan was $243,000.


5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

            The Company  has a property  management  agreement  with Pima Realty

of its apartment  communities.  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.  The costs  allocated to the Company for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $208,000 and $202,000, respectively, which were both

$99,000 and $90,000, respectively.

through joint ventures with a pension plan affiliate of Citicorp. The Company is
a 15% equity  partner and  managing  member of the joint  ventures.  The Company
receives  15%-51% of the net profits and cash flow depending on the  performance
of the joint ventures.

            The Company  continues to own mortgage assets (all acquired prior to
1993) to  generate  cash  flows  for  apartment  acquisitions  and  development,
operations,  payment of dividends and other corporate  purposes.  These mortgage
assets  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  that they secure.  The Company also has the option to cause the early
redemption of the structured financing at par after specified conditions are met
(generally when the structured financing is below a specified balance or after a
specified  date). In such event,  the mortgage  instruments are sold and the net
proceeds after the  redemption of the  structured  financing are remitted to the
Company.  In some cases,  the Company  decides to sell a mortgage  asset that is
expected to be redeemable in the foreseeable future.  Mortgage asset redemptions
and sales have the effect of  accelerating  the cash  flows and  increasing  the
present  value.  Redemption  and sales  transactions  occur from time to time as
specified conditions are met rather than on a monthly or quarterly basis and the
net proceeds are affected by the market price of the mortgage instruments. Thus,
the cash  flows and  income  from  redemption  and sale  transactions  fluctuate
significantly  between periods.  Mortgage asset redemptions and sales reduce the
cash flows and income in future periods.

          For the Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995


Results of Operations

Comparison of Quarters Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

            Real  Estate  Operations  -  Rental  income  for  the  1996  quarter
increased by 2.5% due  primarily to (i) a 1% rental rate  increase,  (ii) a 2.4%
increase in rents  resulting  from prior rate  increases  becoming  effective as
leases expire and are renewed or the apartment is released and (iii) an increase
in the  occupancy  rate from  90.8% in 1995 to 91.7% in 1996.  The  increase  in
rental  income was  mitigated  by an  increase in rental  concession  expense of
$75,000.  The Company  experienced  higher rental income in Phoenix,  Tucson and
Houston  but lower  rental  income in  Albuquerque.  Operating  and  maintenance
expenses  increased by 5.3% due to increases in payroll  expenses and  marketing
expenses.  Real  estate  taxes  and  insurance  expenses  decreased  due  to  an
adjustment made in 1995 based on the actual property tax assessment.

            Mortgage  Assets -  Prospective  yield income  decreased  due to the
decrease  in  the  mortgage  asset  balance  as a  result  of  amortization  and
redemptions.  The average  balance was $9,730,000 for the 1996 quarter  compared
with  $15,450,000 for the 1995 quarter.  The average  prospective  yield for the
quarter was 35% in 1996  compared to 29% in 1995.  Income from  redemptions  and
sales increased by $1,714,000 as a result of the redemption of the remaining 60%
interest in one mortgage asset in 1996 with proceeds of $3,641,000 and income of
$3,010,000 compared to redemption of one mortgage asset in 1995 with proceeds of
$1,509,000 and income of $1,296,000.

            Operating  Expenses  and Other  Income - Interest  and other  income
decreased as the 1995 amount  included a gain of $311,000  from the early payoff
of a note  payable and a gain of $180,000  from the sale of an asset.  Operating
expenses  decreased as the 1995 amount  included  the cost of the reverse  stock
split in July 1995.  Other interest expense decrease in 1996 as the Company paid
off the unsecured real estate note payable in April 1995.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

            Real Estate Operations - Rental income for the 1996 period increased
by 2.9% due primarily to (i) the purchase of an apartment  community in February
1995,  (ii) a 4%  rental  rate  increase  and  (iii) a 2.2%  increase  in  rents
resulting from prior rate increases  becoming effective as leases expire and are
renewed or the apartment is released. The increase was
                                       11

mitigated by (i) a decrease in the occupancy rate from 92.7% in 1995 to 91.7% in
1996 and (ii) an increase in rental concession expense of $173,000.  The Company
experienced  higher  rental  income in 1996 in  Phoenix,  Tucson and Houston but
lower rental income in Albuquerque. Operating and maintenance expenses increased
by 5.9% due to the 1995  acquisition  and  increases  in  payroll  expenses  and
marketing expenses. Real estate taxes and insurance expenses decreased due to an
adjustment made in 1995 based on the actual property tax assessment.

            Mortgage Assets - Prospective  yield income decreased in 1996 due to
the  decrease in the  mortgage  asset  balance as a result of  amortization  and
redemptions.  The average  balance was  $10,701,000 for the 1996 period compared
with $16,309,000 for the 1995 period.  The decrease was mitigated by an increase
in the average  prospective yield from 29% in the 1995 period to 33% in the 1996
period.  Income from  redemptions and sales increased by $533,000 as a result of
the  sale  and  redemption  of one  mortgage  asset  in 1996  with  proceeds  of
$6,000,000 and income of $4,987,000 compared to the redemptions and sales of two
mortgage assets in 1995 with proceeds of approximately  $4,300,000 and income of
$4,454,000.  Included in the 1995 income was $2,420,000  from the reversal of an
excess  yield  maintenance  payment  accrued  in 1993 on  borrowings  secured by
mortgage assets.

            Operating  Expenses and Other Income - Operating  expenses decreased
as the 1995 amount included (i) an accrual of stock appreciation  rights expense
of $705,000 based on the increase in the stock price during the first quarter of
1995 and (ii) the cost of the  reverse  stock split in July 1995.  Interest  and
other income  decreased as the 1995 amount  included a gain of $311,000 from the
early payoff of a note payable and a gain of $180,000 from the sale of an asset.
Other  interest  expense  decreased as the Company paid off the  unsecured  real
estate note payable in April 1995.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments

            Cash provided by  operations  for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was  $7,270,000  compared  with  $5,068,000  for the same  period  in 1995.  The
increase  was due to (i) increase in net income of  $292,000,  (ii)  increase in
non-cash charge for depreciation and amortization of $195,000 and (iii) the 1995
net income  included a non-cash credit of $2,420,000 for the reversal of accrued
excess yield maintenance payment on notes payable. The increase was mitigated by
a decrease in 1996 in non-cash credit of $705,000.

                      MANAGEMENT 'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          For the Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995


            Cash used in investing  activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996 was  $1,129,000  compared with  $5,564,000 for the same period in 1995. The
decrease was due to (i) a decrease of  $6,208,000 in apartment  acquisitions  as
the Company  purchased an apartment  community in February 1995 and did not make
any  purchases in 1996 and (ii) a decrease of  $1,870,000 in investment in joint
ventures  as the  Company  made  investments  in new joint  ventures  in 1995 to
acquire two apartment  communities  and did not make any investment in new joint
ventures in 1996.  The decrease  was  mitigated by (i) an increase of $18,000 in
the  development and  construction  costs of the Finisterra  Apartments,  (ii) a
decrease of $2,149,000 in the proceeds  from  dispositions  of other real estate
assets, (iii) a decrease of $1,217,000 in the reduction in the carrying value of
mortgage assets and (iv) an increase in other assets of $279,000.

            Cash used in financing  activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996 was  $3,115,000  compared with  $2,877,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase was  principally  due to (i) a decrease of  $1,135,000 in notes payable
secured by mortgage  assets and short-term  borrowing and (ii) a decrease in the
issuance of real estate notes  payable of $6,440,000 as the Company did not make
any purchases in 1996. The increase was mitigated by (i) an increase of $243,000
from proceeds from the Finisterra Apartments construction loan, (ii) an increase
of  $5,126,000  in the  repayment  of real estate  notes  payable as the Company
prepaid the unsecured  real estate notes in 1995, and (iii) an increase in other
liabilities of $1,995,000  primarily due to the accrual of construction costs of
the Finisterra Apartments for June 1996 which were paid in July.

            The Company  continues  to realize  substantial  cash flows from its
mortgage  assets.  A majority of the cash flows is generated from redemptions of
the  mortgage  assets.  The  Company  may also  sell a  mortgage  asset  that is
redeemable in the foreseeable  future.  The redemptions or sales  accelerate the
mortgage asset cash flows and increase the present  value.  During the first six
months of 1996,  the mortgage  assets  generated  total cash flow of $9,570,000,
including $6,000,000 from the redemption of a mortgage asset. The Company used a
portion of the proceeds to reduce short-term  borrowing by $2,221,000 during the
first six months of 1996 In addition,  the Company  sold six mortgage  assets in
July for total proceeds of $5,570,000.

            The Company has  prepared  the  following  estimates  of future cash
flows from the  mortgage  assets.  Cases 1, 2 and 3 assume  that  except for the
early  redemptions  or sales of the  mortgage  asset in July as described in the
preceding paragraph, there would be no further
                                       13

early  redemptions of mortgage  assets.  The assumed  interest rate and mortgage
prepayment  rates in Case 2 are the  approximate  interest rate and forecasts of
prepayment rates made by market  participants as of June 30, 1996. The estimates
in  Case 4 have  been  prepared  using  the  same  interest  rate  and  mortgage
prepayment  rates as Case 2 except  that each  mortgage  asset is  assumed to be
redeemed at the first  available date and the  underlying  mortgages are sold at
the June 30, 1996 prices. Mortgage prepayment rates represent the average annual
prepayment  rate assumed for the  underlying  mortgage  instruments  (Dollars in
thousands):

            There can be no assurance  that the actual  interest and  prepayment
rates will be as assumed or that the  prices of the  mortgage  instruments  will
remain at the assumed levels.  Proceeds from redemptions are highly dependent on
prices available upon sale of the mortgages as well as the timing of meeting the
conditions for redemption  (generally reduction of the structured financing to a
specified  balance or a specified  date). As an example,  if the assumed average
price above par for mortgage sales in Case 4 above were to decrease by half (the
average mortgage prices decreases to 103.22%),  the estimated total cash flow in
Case 4 would decline by $11,269,000 of which $833,000 would relate to 1996.

          For the Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995


            At June 30, 1996,  the Company had cash of  $5,447,000.  The Company
intends to use such funds, together with the proceeds from the mortgage sales in
July to fund acquisitions of apartment  communities,  to fund the equity portion
of the  construction  costs  of  the  Finisterra  Apartments,  to  fund  capital
improvements  on  existing  apartment  communities,  and  to pay  dividends  and
operating expenses.

Other Information

            Apartment  leases  generally  are  for  terms  of six to 12  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 affected.
