Introduction
General
TIS Mortgage Investment Company, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"
or the "Registrant" which, unless otherwise indicated refers to the Company
and its subsidiary, TIS Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("TISMAC")), was incorporated on May 11, 1988. The Company
seeks to generate income for distribution to its stockholders primarily
through acquisition of Structured Securities (as hereinafter defined) and
direct fee ownership of real estate. The Company may also acquire Mortgage
Loans (as hereinafter defined). "Structured Securities" include (i)
residual interests ("Residual Interests"), principal only bonds ("PO
Bonds") and interest only bonds ("IO Bonds") in collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs"), which entitle the Company to certain cash flows from
collateral pledged to secure such securities; (ii) "Mortgage Certificates,"
which include securities collateralized by or representing equity interests
in mortgage loans secured by first liens on single family residences,
multiple family residences or commercial real estate ("Mortgage Loans"):
(iii) CMOs; and (iv) "Commercial Securitizations," which include debt
obligations which are issued in multiple classes and are funded as to the
payment of interest and principal by a specific group of Mortgage Loans on
multiple family or commercial real estate, accounts and other collateral.
As used herein, the term "Mortgage Assets" includes Structured Securities
and Mortgage Loans, and the term "Mortgage Instruments" includes Mortgage
Certificates and Mortgage Loans.
The Company may experience losses on Residual Interests during periods
of high prepayment rates on mortgages, which occurred in 1992 and 1993.
Although Commercial Securitizations reduce the Company's exposure to risk
of loss from high prepayment rates on Residual Interests, they are
susceptible to the risk of loss on foreclosures. Monthly cash flows on the
Company's assets are comprised of both interest income and a partial return
of principal.
The Company's investment policy is controlled by its Board of
Directors (the "Board of Directors"). The By-Laws of the Company require
that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors must be persons
who (i) are not "Affiliates" of TIS Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, (the "Manager"), as that term is defined in the By-Laws, or
Affiliates of persons who are Affiliates of the Manager and (ii) are not
employed by, or receiving any compensation (except for serving as a
director) from, the Company ("Unaffiliated Directors").
The Company has entered into an agreement (the "Management Agreement")
with the Manager to manage the Company's day-to-day operations, subject to
the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Manager will continue to
attempt to obtain for the Company mortgage loans and other real estate-
related investments meeting the investment criteria and policies set by the
Board of Directors, advise the Company with respect to various aspects of
its business and administer the Company's day-to-day operations, including
cash flow management. For additional information concerning the management
of the Company, see "Management of Operations - The Management Agreement"
below.
The Company intends, for all taxable years since inception, to qualify
for the tax treatment accorded to real estate investment trusts ("REITs")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and to
make quarterly distributions to its stockholders which, in the aggregate,
annually will equal at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income (as defined in Section 857(b)(2) of the Code) (hereafter
"REIT Taxable Income"). As a result, the Company expects that, with
limited exceptions, its REIT Taxable Income distributed to its stockholders
will not be subject to Federal income tax at the corporate level. See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations" below.
See Item 7 below, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information on the
general development of the Company's business. See "Risk Factors" below
for a discussion of certain risks to which holders of the Company's Common
Stock may be subject.
The Company normally borrows funds to purchase and carry assets
expecting that the cost of such borrowings will be less than the net cash
flow on the assets purchased with such funds.
The Company, on the one hand, and the Manager and its affiliates, on
the other hand, may enter into a number of relationships other than those
governed by the Management Agreement, some of which may give rise to
conflicts of interest between the Manager and its affiliates and the
Company.
Because taxable income may exceed cash flow from certain mortgage-
related assets in the early years after such an asset is created, the
Company may realize taxable income in excess of its net cash flow in a
taxable year. Since the Company must distribute substantially all of its
net taxable income annually in order to maintain its status as a REIT, the
Company might, in such circumstances, have to borrow funds to enable it to
make such distributions. In evaluating Mortgage Assets for purchase, the
Company considers the effect of any excess of taxable income over projected
cash receipts of net cash flows. For the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994, the Company's taxable income did not exceed the cash flows from
Mortgage Assets.
Primary Business Activity
The Company has, in prior years, primarily invested in the Residual
Interests of single-family CMOs, which are a series of fixed rate or
variable rate bonds with a wide range of maturities. CMOs are typically
issued in series, which generally consist of serially maturing classes
ratably secured by a single pool of Mortgage Instruments. Generally,
principal payments received on the Mortgage Instruments securing a series
of CMOs, including prepayments on such Mortgage Instruments, are applied to
principal payments on one or more classes of the CMOs of such series on
each principal payment date for such CMOs. Scheduled payments of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Instruments and other collateral securing a
series of CMOs are intended to be sufficient to make timely payments of
interest on such CMOs and to retire each class of such CMO by its stated
maturity. The Company may also purchase Residual Interests in real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs").
The Company has determined to make a substantial portion of its future
investments in multifamily residential properties. On December 29, 1994
the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire four multifamily
housing properties in California's Central Valley. These properties
consist of 539 units together with 9.75 acres of unimproved land slated for
development of an additional 126 units. The properties will be purchased
in a series of closings occurring between mid-January and mid-September
1995. The aggregate purchase price for the properties will be $29,275,000,
including existing debt to be assumed by the Company.
The Company has also determined that certain future investments would
also be made in Commercial Securitizations. Commercial Securitizations are
multi-class issuances of debt securities which are funded as to the payment
of interest and principal by a specific group of mortgage loans on
multifamily residences or other commercial property. Generally, a
Commercial Securitization will consist of some senior debt securities rated
investment grade, "AAA", "AA" and "A" and other lower-rated "BBB" and "BB"
bonds, and unrated bonds. Generally the credit quality of any bond relates
to the subordination level of the bond or its priority to receive principal
and interest from the mortgage collateral. A First Loss security is the
most subordinated class of a multi-class issuance of debt securities and is
the first to bear the risk of default on the underlying collateral. To the
extent that the Commercial Securitization is a REMIC, there will be a
residual interest investment involved. Since many of the Commercial
Securitizations are backed by mortgage loans which have prepayment penalty
or lock-out provisions, the risk of loss from prepayments may be
significantly less than securitizations backed by single-family loans. On
the other hand, since there are generally fewer loans involved in the
securitization and since the loans usually do not have any guarantee of
payment of principal, the risk of loss on foreclosure is much greater.
Therefore, the credit quality of the underlying loans is a primary
consideration in the risk and reward evaluation of the asset.
The Company also invests in PO Bonds and some of the IO Bonds of
single-family CMOs. Single-family CMOs are collateralized by residential
mortgages, most often in the form of mortgage-backed securities or
certificates, and the bond interest and principal payments, as well as
administrative costs, are covered by the interest and principal payments of
the underlying mortgages. The mortgage collateral underlying the single-
family CMOs in the Company's portfolio of Residual Interests, PO Bonds and
some of the IO Bonds are mortgage-backed certificates issued by the
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC). Some of the IO Bonds are backed by single-family loans which are
not included in mortgage-backed certificates issued by these agencies.
In most CMOs, there are excess cash flows after bond payments and
administrative expenses. The excess cash flows, called residuals, arise
primarily from the difference between the interest received from the
mortgage obligations and the interest paid on the bonds. These CMO
residuals have been the primary focus of the Company. However, beginning
in the last quarter of 1991, the Company began to invest in other parts of
the CMO such as PO Bonds, IO Bonds and inverse IO Bonds.
Monthly cash flows on the Company's Mortgage Assets have two
components: income from the investment and a partial return of investment
principal. The investment income forms the basis for payment of expenses
and dividends paid to shareholders, and the return of principal portion is
reinvested in other mortgage-related assets. In most cases cash flows and
income tend to be higher in early periods of ownership and lower in the
later periods. It will be necessary for the Company to utilize the
principal which is repaid to reduce debt or to acquire new assets. The
rate of return on such new assets may be lower than the rate of return on
the repaid assets.
Residual Interests. Because of almost infinite differences in
composition and structure, each individual CMO, and thus Residual Interest,
is unique. Nonetheless, there are generally two very broad categories of
CMO residuals. "Bullish" residuals are associated with CMOs partially
composed of variable rate bonds. The yields on bullish residuals tend to
increase when short-term interest rates decline, and decrease when short-
term rates rise. Although the mortgage collateral on bullish residuals
provides a fixed interest rate, the interest payable on the variable bonds
declines as short-term rates decline, thus increasing the amount of cash
flow to the residual. Correspondingly, higher short-term interest rates
will make variable rate bonds more expensive and thus the spread will
narrow.
Residual Interests with only fixed rate CMO bonds, on the other hand,
fall into a category called "Bearish" residuals. The yields on bearish
residuals tend to increase when long-term interest rates rise, and decrease
when long-term rates decline. The interest spread on bearish residuals is
not impacted by changes in interest rates. However, in an environment of
rising interest rates, the pace of mortgage prepayments slows and the
positive spread remains in effect for a longer period of time. Falling
interest rates provide consumers with incentives to refinance, prepaying
the original mortgage and, overall, this tends to reduce the amount of time
the positive spread is outstanding.
CMO cash flows, and therefore residual income and value, are
significantly affected by changes in short-term interest rates and mortgage
prepayment rates. The Company diversifies its portfolio by investing in
both Residual Interests of CMOs having fixed rate and variable rate bond
classes. This balance helps to provide total portfolio yield protection
whether interest rates rise or fall. The Company has selected bullish
residuals which use indices with different sensitivities to interest rate
changes.
PO Bonds. A PO Bond is a bond which passes through only the principal
portion of a mortgage-backed security. All such bonds are created by
stripping the coupon interest from the underlying mortgages to create the
PO Bond and an associated IO Bond. PO Bonds can represent the principal
from an entire pool of mortgages, or they can be tranches within a CMO. PO
Bonds are sold at a deep discount to face value. They pay no periodic
coupon interest. Principal is returned in the form of scheduled
amortization and prepayments. Ultimately, the entire face amount of a PO
Bond is repaid to the investor.
Because there is no coupon, the financial performance of a PO Bond is
extremely sensitive to mortgage prepayment rates. Higher prepayments lead
to a more rapid return of principal and a higher yield. Because faster
prepayments are usually associated with lower market interest rates, the
price of a PO Bond is further enhanced by the lower discount rate.
Conversely, lower prepayments lead to a slower return of principal and a
lower yield. However, since PO Bonds are sold at a discount to their face
value, and the total face value is ultimately received, the total yield on
a PO Bond cannot drop below zero if it is held to maturity.
IO Bonds. IO Bonds pass through a specified interest portion of a
mortgage-backed security. The interest due on an IO Bond is calculated by
multiplying this interest rate times the outstanding balance of the
underlying mortgage pools. As the balances of the underlying mortgages
decline to zero, payments on the IO Bond also decline to zero. Usually the
interest rate applied to the underlying mortgages is fixed. If the
interest rate is variable, it is called a Floating Rate IO Bond. If the
variable rate of interest is inversely related to an index, it is called an
Inverse IO Bond. A regular IO Bond is similar to a Bearish Residual
Interest, in general its yield will increase as interest rates increase and
decrease an interest rates decline. An Inverse IO Bond is similar to a
Bullish Residual Interest. In general, its yield will decrease as interest
rates increase and increase as interest rates decline. If prepayments
increase significantly over the level at which the IO Bond was purchased,
it is possible to receive less cash flow over the life of the asset than
was initially invested.
Risk Factors
Ownership of the Company's Common Stock is subject to certain risks.
The Company's earnings from its acquisitions of multifamily residential
properties will depend upon maintaining rental income that exceeds the
Company's interest and other costs. Rental income, in turn, will depend
upon the rental market, rates of occupancy and defaults by tenants. Long-
term profits will depend upon an appreciation in the value of the
properties. Profits from Commercial Securitizations will depend upon
proven credit evaluation of underlying loans as well as factors which
affect real estate in general including, but not limited to, interest rates
at the time the underlying properties are refinanced. The ability of the
Company to generate income from the cash flows relating to Structured
Securities, or to minimize losses, will depend, in large part, upon the
ability of the Company to acquire suitable Structured Securities, respond
to fluctuations in market interest rates, and utilize appropriate
strategies.
The amount of income that may be generated from Structured Securities
is dependent upon the rate of principal prepayments on the underlying
mortgages. Lower rates of prepayments means a longer life for Residual
Interests and IO Bonds and thus higher income. Similarly, faster rates of
prepayments mean a shorter life and lower income. The rate of prepayments
on mortgages is influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and
other factors, but probably the most important factor is the level of
prevailing mortgage rates. In general, prepayments of mortgage loans are
faster during periods of substantially declining interest rates and slower
during periods of substantially increasing interest rates.
The income from Residual Interests in CMOs which include one or more
bond classes which bear interest based on specified margins in relation to
either the London Interbank Offered Rate for Eurodollars on U.S. dollar
deposits ("LIBOR") or on the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index
("COFI"), and income on Inverse IO Bonds which bear an interest rate which
is inversely related to LIBOR, may fluctuate widely depending upon changes
in the LIBOR or COFI rates, which affect the amount of interest payable on
such LIBOR or COFI bonds and on Inverse IO Bonds. In general, income on
these Residual Interests and Inverse IO Bonds will decrease when LIBOR or
COFI rates increase, and will increase when LIBOR or COFI rates decrease.
Income on these Residual Interests and Inverse IO Bonds will also be
affected by the relationship between changes in these rates and prepayments
on mortgages. Under certain extended high interest rate periods or in the
event of extremely high prepayment rates on mortgages, the return on a
Residual Interest, on an IO Bond or on an Inverse IO Bond could be zero or
negative and may require the Company to effect significant reductions in
the carrying value of these assets. Such reductions are recorded as
operating losses in the year in which the reduction is taken.
The Company only purchases Residual Interests, IO Bonds and PO
Bonds of CMOs if the Structured Securities relating to such CMOs are rated
in one of the two highest categories by a nationally recognized rating
agency. Certain Residual Interests, IO and PO Bonds themselves are rated.
The risks of ownership of such assets, however, will be substantially the
same as those associated with ownership of unrated Residual Interests, IO
and PO Bonds because the rating would not address the possibility that the
Company might have a lower than anticipated yield or, in the case of
Residual Interests and IO Bonds, fail to recover its initial investment.
A substantial portion of the Company's assets directly or indirectly
consists of Mortgage Instruments pledged to secure debt securities and,
accordingly, would not be available to stockholders in the event of
liquidation of the Company. In purchasing Mortgage Assets and in issuing
debt securities, the Company competes with investment banking firms,
savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance
companies, federal agencies and other entities, many of which have greater
financial resources than the Company.
To the extent the Company acquires Commercial Securitizations or other
interests in real estate, the Company will be subject to varying degrees of
risk incident to the ownership of real estate. There are many factors
which can impact upon the performance of real estate including economic
events or governmental regulations which are out of the control of the
Company, all of which can impact upon real estate assets whose values are
supporting the Mortgage Loans.
The Company may acquire non-rated investments in Commercial
Securitizations, including first loss positions and other subordinated
positions, which are entitled to receive repayment of principal only after
all required principal payments have been made to more senior instruments
in the Securitization. A first loss security is the most subordinated
class of a multi-class issuance of debt securities and is the first to bear
the risk of default on the underlying collateral. These investments are
generally less marketable than other classes and are illiquid assets.
The Company is subject to potential conflicts of interest arising
from its relationship with its Manager. Transactions which present
potential conflicts of interest will be approved by the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors, or will be carried out
in accordance with guidelines which the Board has adopted. In the latter
case, the specific transactions generally will not be subject to the
approval of the Board of Directors.
In order to maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is required to
comply with certain restrictions imposed by the Code with respect to the
nature of its assets and income, which could prevent it from making
investments or from making dispositions of investments otherwise considered
desirable. The REIT provisions of the Code require the Company to
distribute substantially all of its net taxable income on an annual basis.
If the Company should not qualify as a REIT in any tax year, it would be
taxed as a regular domestic corporation, and distributions to the Company's
stockholders would not be deductible by the Company in computing its
taxable income. Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would
reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to stockholders.
Further, the failure of the Company to be treated as a REIT for any one
year would disqualify the Company from being treated as a REIT for four
subsequent years.
Because of these and other factors, future distributions to
stockholders cannot be predicted. The Company has the right, but not the
obligation, to refrain from making distributions to stockholders until the
tax loss carryforward is fully utilized. It is likely that the market
price of the shares of the Company's Common Stock would be affected by any
decline in the spread between the Company's net yield on its assets and
prevailing interest rates.
Acquisition and Disposition of Mortgage Assets
The Company purchases Mortgage Assets from investment banking firms
and other mortgage suppliers, some of which may be affiliates of the
Manager. The Company does not intend to purchase assets that would
disqualify it as a REIT or subject it to regulation as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Company is not in the business of trading its Mortgage Assets.
However, from time to time the Company may sell an asset as part of the
Company's ongoing effort to adjust its portfolio composition to reflect
changes in economic conditions. In the fourth quarter of 1989, the Company
sold a Residual Interest it had acquired in 1988. In 1992, the Company
sold for a total of $6,008,000 both of the PO Bonds it had acquired in
1991. There have been no other dispositions of Mortgage Assets since the
Company's inception. See Item 7 below, "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8
below, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further details.
During 1992 the Company reinvested approximately $30,760,000. Of this
amount, $22,557,000 was invested in IO Bonds and the remaining $8,203,000
was invested in an Inverse IO Bond. In 1993 the Company reinvested
$4,069,000 in inverse IO bonds and $340,000 in equity residuals. In 1994
the Company purchased two Commercial Securitizations for $1,232,000. See
Item 7 below, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and Item 8 below, "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" for details on assets acquired. The funds for
reinvestment came from cash balances, borrowings, proceeds from the sale of
PO Bonds and principal returned to the Company from its investments.
Based on current projections of return of investment from its
portfolio, the Company expects to generate cash flows of $450,000 to
$700,000 after expenses in each month of 1995. These cash flows will be
used to acquire assets or reduce borrowings. Although the Company
continually reviews Mortgage Assets available for purchase, the Company
will acquire additional Mortgage Assets only when they are believed to
complement the current portfolio.
On May 31, 1990, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus for a uniform method of
accounting for Residual Interests in CMOs (Issue 89-4). The consensus,
among other things, required Residual Interests to be classified either as
"equity" (and be accounted for under the Equity Method) or as "nonequity"
(and be accounted for under a level yield method referred to as the
Prospective Method). The methods described in Issue 89-4 are essentially
the same as those used by the Company until December 31, 1993. As of
December 31, 1993 the Company adopted the accounting method for impairment
of mortgage-backed derivative investments prescribed by FASB Statement No.
115 and presented its 1993 and 1994 financial statements in accordance
therewith. See Item 7 below, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 below, "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" for information as to the effect of
adoption of this change in accounting method.
Fair Value of Residual Interests and IO Bonds
In General - Substantially all income to the Company is currently
derived from the cash flows on the Company's Residual Interests, IO Bonds
and PO Bonds. The fair value of these assets is the net present value of
the projected future cash flows. The amount of cash flows that may be
generated from these assets is uncertain and may be subject to wide
variations depending primarily upon the rate and timing of prepayments on
the underlying mortgage collateral and, for Residual Interests with
variable rate Bond Classes and IO Bonds with variable interest rates,
changes in LIBOR and COFI. The following information sets forth
assumptions used to calculate the projected cash flows on the Company's
Nonequity Residual Interests and IO Bonds, and the resulting net present
value of these assets, at December 31, 1994 based on various assumptions
and discount factors.
Assumptions - For purposes of the presentations on the following
tables, the Nonequity Residual Interests have been separated into two
groups: Residual Interests in CMOs with fixed rate Bond Classes and
Residual Interests in CMOs with one or more COFI Bond Classes. The IO
Bonds have been separated into two groups: IO Bonds with a fixed interest
rate and Inverse IO Bonds. For purposes of projecting future cash flows,
the Company has used the following one-month LIBOR and 11th District COFI
rates:

Principal payments on mortgage loans may be in the form of scheduled
amortization or prepayments (for this purpose, "prepayments" include
principal prepayments and liquidations due to default or other
dispositions). The prepayment assumptions used herein are based on an
assumed rate of prepayment each month of the unpaid principal balance on a
pool of mortgage loans. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes prepayment
rates of 0.2% per annum of the then outstanding principal balance of such
mortgage loans in the first month of the life of such mortgage and an
additional 0.2% per annum in each month thereafter (for example, 0.4% per
annum in the second month) until the 30th month. Beginning with the 30th
month and in each month thereafter during the life of such mortgage loans,
100% prepayment assumption assumes a constant prepayment rate of 6% per
annum.
The prepayment assumptions used in Case III to estimate the fair value
of the Company's Nonequity Residual Interests and IO Bonds are the
Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg") Dealer Prepayment Estimates
Average as estimated by several dealers in mortgage-related assets and
compiled by Bloomberg as of January 3, 1995. Bloomberg has obtained this
information from sources it believes to be reliable but has not verified
such information and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of such
information. The prepayment assumptions used in Case I reflect a decline
in short-term interest rates accompanied by a decline in mortgage loan
interest rates. The prepayment assumptions used in Case II (which also are
used in Case III) reflect a decline in short-term rates not accompanied by
a decline in mortgage loan interest rates. The prepayment assumptions used
in Case IV (which also are used in Case V) reflect an increase in mortgage
loan interest rates not accompanied by an increase in short-term interest
rates. The prepayment assumptions used in Case V reflect an increase in
short-term interest rates accompanied by an increase in mortgage loan
interest rates. The table below shows the prepayment assumptions used to
project cash flows in order to calculate the present value of the Company's
Nonequity Residual Interests and IO Bonds:

Present Value of Projected Cash Flows - The tables which follow set
forth the present value at December 31, 1994 of the projected cash flows
discounted at the indicated discounted rates subject to the assumptions
described above. For example, if cash flows are projected using the
assumptions in Case III and Nonequity Residuals Interests in CMOs with
fixed rate Bond Classes are discounted at 14% and the Nonequity Residual
Interests in CMOs with variable rate Bond Classes are discounted at 18%,
the present value of the projected cash flows of the Company's Nonequity
Residual Interests would equal approximately $8,675,000. This is the
Company's estimate of the fair value of these assets. In addition, if cash
flows on the Company's regular IO Bonds are discounted at 14% and the cash
flows on its Inverse IO Bonds are discounted at 30%, the present value of
the projected cash flows on the IO Bonds would equal $9,558,000. This
represents a decrease of $236,000 from the $9,794,000 book value of these
assets. The difference of $236,000 is the difference between the present
value of cash flows and the actual market values as of December 31, 1994 of
FNMA SMBS Trust 7 Class 2 IO and FNMA SMBS Trust 4 Class 2 IO. The book
value is the Company's estimate of the fair value of these IO Bonds. There
will be differences between the projected cash flows used to calculate the
present value of these assets and the actual cash flows received by the
Company, and such differences may be material.

</TABLE>
Acquisition of Mortgage Instruments
The Company has the power to purchase Mortgage Instruments from
mortgage suppliers. Mortgage Instruments may be acquired subject to the
liability represented by Structured Securities. In addition, Mortgage
Instruments may be acquired with the intention of arranging for the
subsequent issuance of Structured Securities secured thereby. Through
December 31, 1994, the Company had not purchased Mortgage Instruments.
Mortgage Certificates may consist of GNMA Certificates, FHLMC
Certificates, FNMA Certificates and other Mortgage Certificates. Mortgage
Loans may be originated by various lenders throughout the United States.
Originators may include savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage
bankers and other mortgage lenders. There are no limits upon the
geographic concentration of Mortgage Loans which the Company can acquire.
The Company has the power to enter into commitments to purchase
Mortgage Loans but has not done so. Such commitments would obligate the
Company to purchase Mortgage Loans and the holder to sell such Mortgage
Loans at a future date for a specific period of time at an established
price, in a specific aggregate principal amount and bearing a specified
interest rate. However, all loans would be fully funded prior to their
acquisition by the Company. Following the issuance of commitments, the
Company would be exposed to risks of interest rate fluctuations.
Issuance of Structured Securities
In June of 1989, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued a
series of CMOs. See "Formation of Subsidiary" below. The Company has not
issued, and it has no present plans to issue, any other Structured
Securities. The following paragraphs describe certain types of Structured
Securities that the Company might issue if permitted and warranted by
future circumstances.
CMOs. To the extent consistent with its objective of generating
income from the net cash flows on its Mortgage Assets, the Company may
issue, itself or through one or more Affiliated Issuers, various series of
CMOs secured by collateral which may include Mortgage Instruments, debt
service funds and reserve funds, insurance policies, servicing agreements
and a master servicing agreement
Other Mortgage-Backed Securities. Mortgage pass-through
certificates representing undivided interests in pools of Mortgage Loans
formed by the Company could be utilized as a vehicle for raising funds.
The issuance of mortgage pass-through certificates would be undertaken,
however, only if the Board of Directors received an opinion of counsel or
other satisfactory evidence that the issuance and sale of such securities
would not cause the Company to fail to qualify for treatment as a REIT
under the Code and that the income, if any, realized by the Company in
connection with the issuance, sale, and holding of such securities would
not constitute income from a prohibited transaction under the Code.
Commercial Securitizations. The general structure of these
securities would be in what is normally called a senior/subordinated
structure consisting of some senior debt securities rated investment grade,
"AAA," "AA" and "A" and other lower-rated "BBB" and "BB" bonds, and unrated
bonds. Generally the credit quality of any of these bonds relates to the
subordination level of the bond or its priority to receive principal and
interest from the mortgage collateral. Any such securitizations would be
issued as REMIC Securities which would also involve a Residual Interest.
The Company might or might not retain an investment in any of the bonds or
the Residual Interest, however the Company would likely retain a first loss
security from the issuance. The first loss bond is the most subordinated
class of the multi-class issuance and is the first to bear the risk of
default on the underlying collateral. Since there are generally fewer
loans involved in the securitization and since the loans usually do not
have any guarantee of payment of principal, the risk of loss on foreclosure
is much greater. The Company believes that careful credit underwriting
would help manage credit risk, although there can be no assurances in this
regard.
The Company may also acquire fee interest in or acquire or originate
Mortgage Loans on commercial real estate which, among other things, may be
used as collateral for future securitizations.
Master Servicing. In the event that an affiliated issuer issued a
series of Structured Securities secured by Mortgage Instruments owned or
financed by the Company (other than Mortgage Certificates issued or
guaranteed by a governmental entity), the Company or such Affiliated Issuer
generally would be required to enter into a master servicing agreement (the
"Master Servicing Agreement") with respect to such series of Structured
Securities with an entity acceptable to the rating agency that is rating
such series of Structured Securities (the "Master Servicer"). The Master
Servicer would receive for a series of Structured Securities a monthly
administrative services fee which would be in an amount negotiated between
the Company and the Master Servicer.
Costs. Various expenses would be incurred in connection with
issuances of Structured Securities, including legal and accounting fees,
printing expenses, underwriters' compensation or other sales commissions,
and expenses of registration or qualification under state and federal
securities laws. If the Company did not issue the Structured Securities
through a subsidiary or trust established by it, it is anticipated that the
Company would not pay such costs directly, but would pay to the Affiliated
Issuer an amount which would include such costs as well as any applicable
fees.
The possible strategy described above of issuing Structured Securities
would be based upon the Company's current assessment of the demand for
these securities, the cost of issuing the securities, the relative strength
of issuers and other market participants active in such securities, rating
agency requirements and other factors affecting the structure, cost, rating
and benefits of such securities relative to each other and to other
investment alternatives. The market for Structured Securities, and CMOs in
particular, has developed rapidly within the past few years and continues
to generate new structures, issuers, buyers and products. Developments in
the market that affect the factors mentioned or that change the Company's
assessment of the market for such securities may cause the Company to
revise the financing strategy described herein. Any such revision in
strategy would require the approval of the Board of Directors of the
Company, including a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors.
Capital Resources
When feasible the Company may seek to increase the amount of funds
available for its activities through various types of debt financing. The
Company would seek to obtain lines of credit from independent financial
institutions. The Company would also seek to raise funds through
agreements pursuant to which the Company would sell Mortgage Assets for
cash and simultaneously agree to repurchase them at a specified date for
the same amount of cash plus an interest component ("Reverse Repurchase
Agreements"), and through the issuance of commercial paper and other debt
securities, other forms of borrowings and the issuance of additional equity
securities. Short-term indebtedness would be expected to bear interest at
variable rates.
As of December 31, 1993 the Company had total borrowings of
$11,745,000. Of this amount, $696,000 was under a repurchase agreement with
Kidder, Peabody & Co. and $11,049,000 under a repurchase agreement with
Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. As of December 31, 1994 the Company's borrowings
were solely under a repurchase agreement with Bear, Stearns & Co. and were
reduced to $8,325,000. The debt is collateralized by some of the Company's
Residual Interests and IO Bonds. The weighted average interest rate on
such borrowings at December 31, 1994 was 6.9776%.
In connection with the agreement to acquire four multifamily housing
projects in California's Central Valley, the Company intends to incur
mortgage obligations secured by such properties. Any other indebtedness
incurred by the Company may be secured by the assets of the Company,
including its Mortgage Assets.
The Company's By-Laws provide that it may not incur indebtedness if,
after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Company's aggregate
indebtedness (other than liability represented by Structured Securities and
any loans between the Company and its trusts or corporate subsidiaries),
secured and unsecured, would exceed 100% of the Company's average invested
assets in the preceding calendar quarter, as calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, unless approved by a majority of
the Unaffiliated Directors.
The Company has 100,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock. The
Company may increase its capital resources by making additional offerings
of Common Stock. Such offerings may result in a reduction of the net
tangible book value per outstanding share and a reduction in the market
price of the Company's Common Stock. The Company is unable to estimate the
amount, timing or nature of such future sales of its Common Stock as such
sales will depend on general market conditions and other factors.
On December 5, 1991 the Board of Directors approved a Dividend
Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan which became effective on January 2,
1992. The Plan provides, at the Company's option, for shares purchased
under the Plan to either be issued by the Company, or be purchased on the
open market. The Plan prospectus provides for up to 1,000,000 new shares
to be issued. To the extent new shares are issued, the Company's capital
would be increased. During 1992, 5,780 shares were issued under the Plan
resulting in an increase to capital of $39,000. No new shares were issued
under the Plan in 1993 or 1994 as all required shares were purchased in the
open market.
Operating Restrictions
The Company intends to conduct its business so as not to become
regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the "1940 Act"). Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be subject
to the provisions of the 1940 Act, including those that prohibit certain
transactions among affiliated parties. The 1940 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. Under current
interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
order to qualify for this exemption, the Company must maintain at least 55%
of its assets directly in Mortgage Loans, certain Mortgage Certificates and
certain other qualifying interests in real estate. The Company's ownership
of Residual Interests may therefore be limited by the 1940 Act. In
addition, certain Mortgage Certificates may be treated as securities
separate from the underlying Mortgage Loans and, thus, may not qualify as
"mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate" for purposes of
the 55% requirement, unless such Mortgage Certificates represent all the
certificates issued with respect to an underlying pool of mortgages. The
Company's investment policies prohibit it from making any investments that
would cause the Company to be an investment company within the meaning of
the 1940 Act.
Although the Company has no present intention to seek modification of
its operating policies described herein, a majority of the Unaffiliated
Directors may in the future conclude that it would be advantageous for the
Company to do so and may modify such operating policies accordingly,
without the consent of the stockholders.
Other Operating Strategies
The Company has the power to originate Mortgage Loans, retain or
purchase servicing or excess servicing rights or engage in other similar
activities, but only to the extent consistent with its qualification as a
REIT. The Company does not currently engage, nor does it expect to engage,
in any such activities.
The Company also has the power to acquire equity interests in improved
real property. At December 31, 1994, the Company did not own real
property; however, it has acquired in 1995 and intends to acquire
additional multifamily properties in the Western states with the approval
of a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors. Acquisition of real property
will be incremental to the ownership of mortgage securities. Real property
acquisitions will be opportunistic and will occur from time to time only
when the potential for appreciation in value together with current cash
flow yield provides a total return equal to the Company's investment in
mortgage securities.
To the extent consistent with the Company's qualification as a REIT,
the Company has the power to hedge Mortgage Assets it might hold to seek to
protect the value of such assets from interest rate fluctuations.
Generally, hedging is a technique used either to increase the liquidity or
decrease the risk of an asset by guaranteeing, wholly or partially, the
price at which the asset may be disposed of prior to its maturity. Certain
of the tests that the Company must satisfy to qualify as a REIT, however,
may significantly limit the Company's ability to hedge. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations" below. In times of volatile interest rates, the
Company may be prevented from hedging its Mortgage Assets. The Company
currently has no hedging agreements in place or plans to hedge.
Formation of Subsidiary
On October 21, 1988 TISMAC was incorporated for the purpose of issuing
CMOs directly. TISMAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On
June 29, 1989, TISMAC issued $199,400,000 original aggregate principal
amount of its Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, Series 1989-1, Classes A-
F. All of the Bond Classes in the CMO have 10% bond coupons and mature
serially from March 2016 through July 1, 2019. The bonds are secured by
$200,000,000 of GNMA I collateral with a stated pass through rate of 10%.
The assets of TISMAC are not available to pay creditors of the Company.
The Company has undertaken to indemnify certain parties who have contracted
with TISMAC against certain losses which they might sustain in carrying out
their obligations.
Competition
In purchasing Mortgage Assets and in issuing Structured Securities,
the Company competes with investment banking firms, savings and loan
associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, other lenders,
GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA and other entities purchasing Residual Interests,
Mortgage Instruments and issuing Structured Securities, virtually all of
which have significantly greater financial resources than the Company.
Additionally, Structured Securities which the Company might seek to issue
face competition from other investment opportunities available to
prospective purchasers.
Employees
The Company currently has no full time salaried employees who are
employed directly by the Company. However, the Company reimburses the
Manager for employment expenses of personnel performing certain functions
as specified in the Management Agreement. The Manager currently employs
seven employees who perform these specified functions on behalf of the
Company. See "Management of Operations - Expenses".
Management of Operations
The Management Agreement
The Company has entered into a Management Agreement with the Manager
which is renewable annually. In June 1994 the Board of Directors renewed
the Management Agreement through June 30, 1995. In March 1995 the Board of
Directors authorized a committee composed of four Unaffiliated Directors to
consider proposed revisions to the Management Agreement in light of the
Company's acquisition of multifamily residential properties and recent
waivers by the Unaffiliated Directors of the requirement in the Management
Agreement that the Manager reimburse the Company for Excess Expenses (as
defined below; see "Expenses"). The Management Agreement may be terminated
by the Company without cause at any time upon 60 days written notice by a
majority vote of its Unaffiliated Directors or by a vote of the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and by the Manager
upon 60 days written notice.
Under the Management Agreement the Manager, in accordance with
criteria established by the Company's Board of Directors, including a
majority of the Unaffiliated Directors, arranges for the acquisition of
mortgage-related assets for the Company, arranges for the acquisition,
management and financing of real estate, arranges for the issuance and
administration of Structured Securities, monitors the performance of the
foregoing and provides certain administrative and overall managerial
services necessary for the operation of the Company. For performing these
services, the Manager receives (i) a base management fee, payable
quarterly, in an amount equal to 3/8 of 1% per annum of the Company's
Average Invested Assets and (ii) incentive compensation, payable quarterly,
in an amount equal to 25% of the amount by which the Company's annualized
Return on Equity for the quarter exceeds the Ten Year U.S. Treasury Rate
for the quarter plus one percentage point.
In order to compensate the Manager for certain administrative
functions that the Manager performs with respect to each Residual Interest
which is projected to have cash flows in excess of $40,000 in the following
year purchased by the Company for which neither the Manager nor an
Affiliate acts as bond administrator, the Company pays the Manager a fee
equal to $10,000 for each year or fraction thereof that the Company holds
such Residual Interest. The Company also pays the Manager certain bond
issuance and administration fees when it acts in the capacity of bond
administrator in connection with the issuance and administration of
Structured Securities issued by or on behalf of the Company. Such fees are
comparable to those that the Company would pay unrelated entities.
Expenses
The Company reimburses the Manager for certain expenses incurred by
the Manager on the Company's behalf, including rent, telephone, utilities,
office furniture, equipment and machinery, computers, and computer
services, as well as expenses relating to accounting, bookkeeping and
related administrative functions (including the employment expenses of any
persons performing these functions), and fees and expenses of agents and
employees employed directly by the Company or by the Manager at the
Company's expense.
Unless waived by the Unaffiliated Directors, the Management Agreement
provides that the Manager shall reimburse the Company, up to the extent of
the base management fee, to the extent that certain of such expenses exceed
the greater of 2% of the average invested assets of the Company or 25% of
the Company's Net Income for the year ("Excess Expenses"). The Company
experienced Excess Expenses in 1993 and 1994, and the Unaffiliated
Directors waived the reimbursements that would otherwise have been required
by the Management Agreement.
Except as set forth above, the Manager is required to pay employment
expenses of its personnel, rent, telephone, utilities, other office
expenses, certain travel and miscellaneous administrative expenses of the
Manager and, if the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as bond
administrator for a series of Structured Securities issued by or on behalf
of the Company, all expenses incurred by the Manager in performing
administrative services in connection with the issuance and administration
of such series of Structured Securities.
If the Company participates in programs operated by the Manager for
the pricing and acquisition of Mortgage Loans, the Company will pay the
Manager a fixed expense allowance in an amount which shall be determined by
a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors, and which shall be subject to
adjustment every six months upon approval by a majority of such
Unaffiliated Directors. The amount of such allowance would not be subject
to the expense limitation described above.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
General
If the Company satisfies certain tests with respect to the nature of
its income, assets, management, share ownership and the amount of its
distributions, and elects to be so treated, it will qualify as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes. The
Company satisfied such tests and elected to be treated as a REIT on its tax
return for the year ended December 31, 1988. The Company has satisfied such
tests in all subsequent years and intends to satisfy this test in future
years. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to tax at the
corporate level on its net income to the extent that it distributes cash in
the amount of such net income to its stockholders. See "Taxation of the
Company." Generally, those distributions will constitute dividends to the
stockholders and will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the
Company's earnings and profits. It is expected that distributions made by
the Company will be made out of earnings and profits.
The failure of the Company to be treated as a REIT for any taxable
year would materially and adversely affect the stockholders since the
Company would be taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, the taxable income
of the Company (computed without any deduction for distributions to
stockholders) would be taxed to the Company at corporate rates (currently
up to 35%), and the Company would be subject to any applicable minimum tax.
Additionally, dividends to the stockholders would be treated as ordinary
income to the extent of the Company's earnings and profits. As a result of
the "double taxation" (i.e. taxation at the corporate level and
subsequently at the stockholder level when earnings are distributed) the
dividends to the stockholders would decrease substantially, because a large
portion of the cash otherwise available for distribution to stockholders
would be used to pay taxes. Further, the failure of the Company to be
treated as a REIT for any one year would disqualify the Company from being
treated as a REIT for four subsequent years.
Qualification of the Company as a REIT
General
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the
Company must elect to be so treated and must satisfy certain tests with
respect to the sources of its income, the nature and diversification of its
assets, the amount of its distributions, and the ownership of the Company.
The following is a discussion of those tests.
Sources of Income
The Company must satisfy three separate income tests for each taxable
year with respect to which it intends to qualify as a REIT: (i) the 75%
income test, (ii) the 95% income test, and (iii) the 30% income test.
Under the first test, at least 75% of the Company's gross income for the
taxable year must be derived from certain qualifying real estate related
sources. Income that qualifies under the 75% test includes (a) interest on
obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real
property (including, generally, income from regular and residual interests
in REMICs), (b) dividends from other REITs, and (c) gain from the sale or
other disposition of real property (including interests in real property
and interests in mortgages on real property) that is not "dealer property"
(i.e. property that is stock in trade, inventory, or property held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business), (d)
income from the operation, and gain from the sale, of property acquired at
or in lieu of a foreclosure of a mortgage ("foreclosure property") , (e)
commitment fees related to mortgage loans, and (f) income attributable to
the temporary investment of the Company's capital proceeds (excluding
amounts received pursuant to a dividend reinvestment program) in stock or
debt instruments, if such income is received or accrued during the one-year
period beginning on the date of receipt of the capital proceeds ("qualified
temporary investment income").
In addition to meeting the 75% income test, at least 95% of the
Company's gross income for the taxable year must be derived from items of
income that either qualify under the 75% test or are from certain other
types of passive investments. This is referred to as the 95% income test.
Income that satisfies the 95% income test includes income from dividends,
interest and gains from the sale or disposition of stock or other
securities, other than stock or other securities that are dealer property.
Finally, the 30% income test requires that the Company derive less
than 30% of its gross income for the taxable year from the sale or other
disposition of (1) real property, including interests in real property and
interests in mortgages on real property, held for less than four years,
other than foreclosure property or property involuntarily converted through
destruction, condemnation or similar events, (2) stock or securities held
for less than one year, and (3) property in "prohibited transactions." A
prohibited transaction is a sale or other disposition of property that is
stock in trade, inventory, or property held for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property or a real
estate asset held for at least four years, if certain other conditions are
satisfied.
If the Company inadvertently fails to satisfy either the 75% income
test or the 95% income test, or both, and if the Company's failure to
satisfy either or both tests is due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect, the Company may avoid loss of REIT status by satisfying certain
reporting requirements and paying a tax generally equal to 100% of any
excess nonqualifying income. There is no comparable safeguard that could
protect against REIT disqualification as result of the Company's failure to
satisfy the 30% income test.
The Company anticipates that its gross income will continue to consist
principally of interest and gains on Mortgage Assets and income from short-
term reinvestments. The composition and sources of the Company's income
allowed the Company to satisfy the income tests for all fiscal years
through December 31, 1994 and should allow the Company to satisfy the
income tests during each year of its existence. If, however, the Company
causes issuances of interests in REMICs or issuances of certificates
representing certain equity interests in Mortgage Instruments (such as pass-
through certificates), the Company could recognize income or gain that, if
excessive, could result in the Company's failure to meet the 30% income
test or, if from transactions in which the Company is deemed to be a
dealer, could be subject to the 100% tax on prohibited transactions. See
"Taxation of the Company" below. This effectively limits both the
Company's ability to issue REMIC securities directly or through wholly
owned subsidiaries and its ability to issue such securities indirectly
through issuance of Funding Notes to Affiliated Issuers. See "Issuance of
Structured Securities - CMOs." Further, certain short-term reinvestments
may generate qualifying income for purposes of the 95% income test but
nonqualifying income for purposes of the 75% income test, and certain
hedging transactions could give rise to income that, if excessive, could
result in the Company's disqualification as a REIT for failing to satisfy
the 30% income test. In addition, income from Structured Securities which
do not represent equity interests in Mortgage Loans and with respect to
which a REMIC election has not been made (e.g. CMOs) may not qualify under
the 75% income test. The Company intends to monitor its reinvestments and
hedging transactions closely to avoid disqualification as a REIT.
Nature and Diversification of Assets
At the end of each quarter of the Company's taxable year, at least 75%
of the value of the Company's assets must be cash and cash items (including
receivables), "government securities" and "real estate assets." Real
estate assets include real property, Mortgage Loans, Mortgage Certificates,
equity interest in other REITs, any stock or debt instrument for so long as
the income therefrom is qualified temporary investment income (as described
below) and, subject to certain limitations, interests in REMICs.
Structured Securities that do not represent equity interests in Mortgage
Loans and with respect to which a REMIC election has not been made may not
qualify as real estate assets. The balance of the Company's assets may be
invested without restriction, except that holdings of the securities of any
non-governmental issuer (other than a REIT or qualified REIT subsidiary)
may not exceed 5% of the value of the Company's assets or 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer. Securities that are
qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test will not be treated as
securities for purposes of the 5% and 10% asset tests.
If a REIT receives "new capital," stock or debt instruments purchased
with such new capital are treated as real estate assets for purposes of the
75% asset test (described above) during the one-year period beginning on
the date the REIT receives such new capital. New capital is defined as any
amount received by a REIT in exchange for its stock (other than amounts
received pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan) or received in a public
offering of its debt obligations having maturities of at least five years.
The Company anticipates that its assets will continue to consist
principally of (i) ownership interests in Mortgage Assets (including
undivided ownership interests in Mortgage Instruments), (ii) interests in
REMICs, (iii) interests in real estate, (iv) interests in other REITs, (v)
stock or debt instruments that generate qualified temporary investment
income, (vi) cash and (vii) certain short-term investments and
reinvestments. The Company believes that such asset holdings will allow it
to satisfy the assets tests necessary to qualify as a REIT, and the Company
intends to monitor its activities to attempt to assure satisfaction of such
tests.
If the Company fails to satisfy the 75% asset test at the end of any
quarter of its taxable year as a result of its acquisition of securities or
other property during that quarter, the failure can be cured by a
disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the
close of that quarter. The Company intends to maintain adequate records of
the value of its assets and take such action as may be required to cure any
failure to satisfy the 75% asset test within 30 days after the close of any
quarter. The Company may not be able to cure any failure to satisfy the
75% asset test, however, if assets that the Company believes are qualifying
assets for purposes of the 75% asset test are later determined to be
nonqualifying assets.
REITs are permitted to hold assets in wholly owned subsidiaries
("Qualified REIT Subsidiaries"). A subsidiary of a REIT is a Qualified
REIT Subsidiary if 100% of its stock is owned by the REIT at all times
during the period such subsidiary is in existence. A Qualified REIT
Subsidiary is not treated as a separate corporate entity for federal income
tax purposes, but rather, together with its parent REIT, is treated as a
single taxpayer. Accordingly, all of the assets, liabilities and items of
income, deduction and credit of a Qualified REIT Subsidiary are treated as
the assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction and credit of the
parent REIT for federal income tax purposes and, in particular, for
purposes of satisfying the applicable Code provisions for qualification as
a REIT. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, TISMAC, is a Qualified REIT
Subsidiary.
Distributions
The Company must distribute as dividends to its stockholders for each
taxable year an amount at least equal to (i) 95% of its "REIT taxable
income" as defined below (determined before the deduction of dividends paid
and excluding any net capital gain) plus (ii) 95% of the excess of its net
income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on such income by the
Code, less (iii) any excess non-cash income (as determined under the Code).
Generally, a distribution must be made in the taxable year to which it
relates. A portion of the required distribution, however, may be made in
the following year (i) if the dividend is declared in October, November or
December of any year, is payable to shareholders of record on a specified
date in such a month, and is actually paid before February 1 of the
following year; or (ii) if the dividend is declared before the date on
which the Company's tax return for the taxable year is due to be filed
(including extensions) and is paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment date after such declaration. Further, if the Company fails to meet
the 95% distribution requirement as a result of an adjustment to the
Company's tax returns by the IRS, the Company may, if the deficiency is not
due to fraud with intent to evade tax or a willful failure to file a timely
tax return, retroactively cure the failure by paying a deficiency dividend
(plus interest).
The Code imposes a non-deductible 4% excise tax on REITs to the extent
that the "distributed amount" with respect to a particular calendar year is
less than the sum of (i) 85% of the REITs taxable income (computed pursuant
to Section 857(b)(2) of the Code, but before the dividends paid deduction
and excluding capital gain or loss) for such calendar year, (ii) 95% of the
REIT's capital gain net income (i.e. the excess of capital gains over
capital losses) for such calendar year, and (iii) the excess, if any, of
the "grossed up required distribution" (as defined in Section 4981(b)(3) of
the Code) for the preceding calendar year over the distributed amount for
such preceding year. For purposes of the excise tax provision, the
"distributed amount" with respect to any calendar year is the sum of (i)
the deduction for dividends paid during such calendar year (excluding
dividends paid after the close of the taxable year under Section 858 of the
Code but including dividends declared in October, November or December and
paid in January, as described above), (ii) amounts on which the REIT is
required to pay corporate tax and (iii) the excess, if any, of the
distributed amount for the preceding year over the "grossed up required
distribution" for such preceding taxable year. The Company paid excise tax
of $38,051 for calendar year 1992, $2,009 for 1993 and $336 for 1994.
The Company intends to make distributions to its stockholders on a
basis that will allow the Company to satisfy both the 95% distribution
requirement and the excise tax distribution requirement. Certain factors
inherent in the structure of certain mortgage-backed securities
(particularly CMOs) and the federal income tax rules for calculating income
of Mortgage Assets may cause the Company to realize taxable income in
excess of net cash flows in certain years. The Company intends to monitor
closely the interrelationship between its pre-distribution taxable income
and its cash flow and intends to borrow funds or liquidate investments in
order to overcome any cash flow shortfalls if necessary to satisfy the
distribution requirement.
Ownership of the Company
Shares of the Company's Common Stock must be beneficially owned by a
minimum of 100 persons for at least 335 days in each full taxable year (or
a proportionate part of any short taxable year) after the Company's first
taxable year. Further, at no time during the second half of any taxable
year after the Company's first taxable year may more than 50% of the
Company's shares be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer
individuals (including pension funds except under certain circumstances,
and certain other types of tax exempt entities). The Company's Articles of
Incorporation contain repurchase provisions and transfer restrictions
designed to prevent violation of the latter requirement. To evidence
compliance with these requirements, the Company is required to maintain
records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding shares. Each
year, in order to satisfy that requirement, the Company will demand written
statements from record holders owning designated percentages of Common
Stock disclosing, among other things, the identities of the actual owners
of such shares.
Taxation of the Company
For any taxable year in which the Company qualifies and elects to be
treated as a REIT under the Code, the Company will be taxed at regular
corporate rates (or, if less, at alternative rates in any taxable year in
which the Company has an undistributed net capital gain) on its real estate
investment trust taxable income ("REIT Taxable Income"). REIT Taxable
Income is computed by making certain adjustments to a REIT's taxable income
as computed for regular corporations. Significantly, dividends paid by a
REIT to its stockholders with respect to a taxable year are deducted to the
extent such dividends are not attributable to net income from foreclosure
property. Thus, in any year in which the Company qualifies and elects to
be treated as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal income
tax on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed to its
stockholders in or with respect to that year. In computing REIT Taxable
Income, taxable income also is adjusted by (i) disallowing any corporate
deduction for dividends received, (ii) disregarding any tax otherwise
applicable as a result of a change of accounting period, (iii) excluding
the net income from foreclosure property, (iv) deducting any tax resulting
from the REIT's failure to satisfy either of the 75% of 95% income tests,
and (v) excluding net income from prohibited transactions.
Regardless of distributions to stockholders, the Company will be
subject to a tax at the highest corporate rate on its net income from
foreclosure property, a 100% tax on its net income from prohibited
transactions, and a 100% tax on the greater of the amount by which it fails
either the 75% income test or the 95% income test, less associated
expenses, if the failure to satisfy either or both of such tests does not
cause the REIT to fail to qualify as such. See "Qualification of the
Company as a REIT." In addition, as described above, the Company will be
subject to a 4% excise tax for any taxable year in which, and on the amount
by which, distributions made by the Company fail to equal or exceed a
certain amount determined with reference to its REIT Taxable Income. See
"Qualification of the Company as a REIT - Distributions" above. The
Company is also subject to the alternative minimum tax, which is determined
for REITs with reference to REIT Taxable Income as increased by tax
preferences. The Company does not expect to have significant amounts of
tax preference items. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that its
federal tax liabilities, if any, will be minimal.
California Franchise tax regulations regarding REIT qualification
currently conform to Federal income tax regulations. There is no assurance
that this will continue in the future and, if state regulations do not
conform to Federal regulations in the future, there is a possibility that
the Company might be liable for state income taxes.
The Company uses the calendar year both for tax and financial
reporting purposes. Due to the differences between tax accounting rules
and generally accepted accounting principles, the Company's REIT Taxable
Income may vary from its net income for financial reporting purposes.
Item 2. Properties.
The principal executive offices of the Company and the Manager are
located at 655 Montgomery Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, California
94111, telephone (415) 393-8000. The offices are leased for a period of
three years, ending on February 28, 1996, by the Manager of the Company.
The Manager is reimbursed by the Company for a portion of the rent based on
the percentage of spaced used by personnel who provide accounting and
administration services to the Company.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
At March 15, 1995, there were no material pending legal proceedings
(within the meaning of the Form 10-K instructions) to which the Company or
its subsidiary is a party or to which any of their respective property was
subject.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders of the
Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this
report.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
Matters.
The Company's Common Stock is listed on both the New York Stock
Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange under the symbol "TIS." The high

On March 15, 1995, the closing sales price of the shares of Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $2.25. On that date the Company
had outstanding 8,105,880 shares of Common Stock which were held by
approximately 890 stockholders of record and the total number of beneficial
shareholders was approximately 8,000.
In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code for
any taxable year, the Company, among other things, must distribute as
dividends to its stockholders an amount at least equal to (i) 95% of its
REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and
excluding any net capital gain) plus (ii) 95% of the excess of its net
income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on such income by the
Code less (iii) any excess non-cash income (as determined under the Code).
The Company intends that the cash dividends paid each year to its
stockholders will equal or exceed the Company's taxable income generated
from operations. The following table details the dividends declared and/or
paid for the Company's two most recent fiscal years.

</TABLE>
The Board of Directors, at its regular meeting on March 1, 1994,
suspended the regular quarterly dividend payment for the first quarter of
1994. On September 7, 1994, a dividend of $0.02 per share was declared in
order to minimize corporate income taxes payable by the Company. The
actual amount and timing of future dividend payments will be at the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the financial
condition of the Company in addition to the requirements of the Code.
Subject to the distribution requirements to maintain REIT
qualification, the Company intends, to the extent practicable, to utilize
substantially all of the principal from repayments, sales and refinancings
of the Company's Mortgage Assets to reduce debt or to acquire new assets.
The Company may, however, under extraordinary circumstances, make a
distribution of principal. Such distributions, if any, will be made at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
It is anticipated that dividends generally will be taxable as ordinary
income to stockholders of the Company (including, in some cases,
stockholders that would otherwise be exempt from tax under the Code),
although a portion of such dividends may be designated by the Company as
capital gain or may constitute a return of capital. Such dividends
received by stockholders of the Company will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction so long as the Company qualifies as a REIT.
The Company will furnish annually to each of its stockholders a statement
setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their
characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gain.
Substantially all of the REIT Taxable Income of the Company is, and is
expected to continue to be, derived from the Company's Mortgage Assets.
Such income is increased by non-cash credits from, among other things, the
accretion of market discount on the Mortgage Certificates pledged as
collateral for bonds and is decreased by non-cash expenses, including,
among other things, the amortization of the issuance costs of bonds, market
premium on the Mortgage Certificates pledged as collateral for bonds and
the accretion of original issue discount on certain bond classes of bonds.
In certain instances, the REIT Taxable Income of the Company for federal
income tax purposes may differ from its net income for financial reporting
purposes principally as a result of the different methods used to determine
the effect and timing of recognition of such non-cash credits and expenses.
As a result of the requirement that the Company distribute to its
stockholders an amount equal to substantially all of its REIT Taxable
Income in order to qualify as a REIT, the Company may be required to
distribute a portion of its working capital to its stockholders or borrow
funds to make required distributions in years in which on a tax basis the
"non-cash" items of income (such as those resulting from the accretion of
market discount on the assets owned by the Company) exceed the Company's
"non-cash" expenses. In the event that the Company is unable to pay
dividends equal to substantially all of its REIT Taxable Income, it will
not continue to qualify as a REIT.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The Company commenced operations on August 26, 1988 in connection with
its initial public offering of 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock.
Investment Activities
During 1994 the Company reinvested $1,232,000 in Commercial
Securitizations and reduced its short-term borrowings by $3,420,000. In
addition, the Company incurred costs of $395,000 related to the 1995
purchase of multifamily residential properties. At December 31, 1994,
these costs are included in other assets. During 1993 the Company
reinvested $4,069,000 in IO Bonds and $340,000 in Residual Interests and
reduced its short-term borrowing by $6,212,000. The funds came from
operating activities and the principal returned to the Company from its
investments. The Company continually reviews the composition of its
portfolio and analyzes potential investments as additions to the portfolio.
The Company reinvests the principal portion of its cash flow as soon as it
finds suitable investments. The following table illustrates the Company's
cash receipts, disbursements and reinvestments for the last four years.

<PAGE>
The Company decreased the level of reinvestments in 1994 over the two
prior years because the cash flows from investments did not provide cash at
prior year's levels. The Company increased the level of reinvestments
substantially in 1992 over 1991 levels due to a combination of the
following: (1) the higher prepayments did not reduce the 1992 cash flows
but instead caused most of the $20,949,000 cash flows from investments to
be considered a return of investment - therefore, the Company had more cash
to reinvest, (2) the drop in short term rates, and the resulting difference
between long and short term rates, made it prudent for the Company to be as
fully invested in longer term assets as was practical, (3) the funds from
the sale of PO Bonds were available for reinvestment and (4) the Company
wanted to replace some of the assets which had been written down.
From the middle of 1991 until mid-1993, the Company has reinvested its
cash flows into PO and IO Bonds, including Inverse IO Bonds because issuers
of CMOs were able to reallocate the economics formerly found only in
Residual Interests to some of the other CMO tranches. In addition, most
new Residual Interests were noneconomic and would not provide the
investment attributes previously found in Residual Interests and now found
in a variety of PO and IO Bonds. See "Effect of Interest and Prepayment
Rates on Net Income" below for further detail on the investment
characteristics of PO and IO Bonds as compared to Residual Interests.
In 1993 the Company purchased two Inverse IO Bonds for $4,069,000 and
purchased for $340,000 all of the outstanding minority interest in an
Equity Residual and minority interests in two other Equity Residuals.
In 1994 the Company purchased two commercial securitizations for
$1,232,000. Based on current projections of return of investment from its
portfolio, the Company expects to generate cash flows of $450,000 to
$700,000 in each month of 1995 either for reinvestment or to be used to
reduce borrowings. The Company continually reviews mortgage-related assets
available for purchase and plans to acquire additional mortgage-related
assets when they complement the current portfolio.
Accounting Change
In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 - Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS No. 115"). SFAS
No. 115 requires the Company to classify its investments into one of three
categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Investments
in debt securities shall be classified as held-to-maturity and measured at
amortized cost only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold those securities to maturity.
SFAS No. 115 requires investments in debt and equity securities that
are classified as available-for-sale to be carried at fair value with any
net unrealized gain or less excluded from earnings and reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.
Furthermore SFAS No. 115 requires that investments classified as held-
to-maturity or available-for-sale be written down to fair value as a
realized loss if the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying
value and the decline is determined to be "other than temporary". The
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB reached a consensus (EITF
93-18) in March 1994 as to the definition of "other than temporary". The
EITF concluded that if the projected yield on the carrying value of an
investment is less than a risk free rate, the decline in value is
considered to be other than temporary and the investment is written down to
its fair value as the new cost basis. The amount of the write down, if
any, is included in current earnings (i.e. accounted for as a realized
loss). Prior to SFAS No. 115 and EITF 93-18 the Company wrote down its
Mortgage Assets only when the undiscounted future estimated cash flows were
less than the carrying value in accordance with EITF 89-4.
SFAS No. 115 became effective for years beginning after December 15,
1993; however an enterprise was permitted to apply this statement effective
in the fourth quarter of 1993. Prior years' financial statements were not
permitted to be restated. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 115 in the
fourth quarter of 1993.
The Company is not in the business of trading its Mortgage Assets;
however, from time to time the Company may sell an investment as part of
its efforts to adjust its portfolio composition to reflect changes in
economic conditions. As such, the Company does not meet the stringent
requirements of SFAS No. 115 related to classifying its real estate
investments as held-to-maturity and, therefore, has classified all of its
real estate investments as available-for-sale.
The Company recognized a $9,879,000 charge to earnings in 1993 from
the cumulative effect at December 31, 1993 of adopting the new standard for
assets which meet the definition of other than temporary impairment. For
assets which do not meet the definition of other than temporary impairment
and for assets where the fair value exceeds amortized cost, the Company has
recorded, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting for investments, a
net unrealized gain of $1,351,000 as a separate component of equity as
prescribed by SFAS No. 115 for assets classified as available-for-sale.
Prior years' consolidated financial statements were not permitted to be
restated.
Results of Operations
The Company had net income of $2,537,000, or $0.31 per share, for the
year ended December 31, 1994. For the year ended December 31, 1993 it had
a net loss of $25,439,000, or $3.14 per share. The 1993 loss included
$9,879,000, or $1.22 per share, as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting for real estate investments occasioned by the Company's decision
to adopt SFAS No. 115 as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.
Additionally, the 1993 net loss included write-downs of Mortgage Assets of
$12,388,000. This loss compares to a net loss for the year ended December
31, 1992 of $21,387,000, or $2.64 per share. The 1992 net loss included
write-downs of mortgage assets of $25,047,000. The Company declared
dividends totaling $162,000 for 1994, or $0.02 per share as compared with
$1,621,000 for 1993, or $0.20 per share. 1992 dividends declared totaled
$4,942,000, or $0.61 per share. The Company's first and second quarter
1992 dividends were based on the Company's best estimate of taxable income
for 1992 at the time the dividends were declared. When it became apparent
that the Company might have a taxable loss for the year, the dividend was
lowered to $0.05 per share. The Company also anticipated a taxable loss
for 1993 and retained its quarterly dividend policy of $0.05 per share
throughout the year. The 1994 dividend of $0.02 per share was declared to
minimize the Company's corporate income taxes.
1994 Compared to 1993
As a result of the accounting change described above which adjusted
the carrying value of the Company's Mortgage Assets to fair value, 1994
operating results were likely to be favorable in most stable interest rate
environments. As shown in the Net Interest Income Analysis below, the
average yield from residual interests and IO bonds was 35.65% and 18.77%,
respectively.
Net interest margin (interest income from Mortgage Certificates net of
interest expense on CMOs) improved to a net interest expense of $689,000 in
1994 from net interest expense of $1,450,000 in 1993 as shown in the
following table.

689) 1,450) 761
Net interest margin continues to be negative because of the retirement of
some of the lower coupon bonds leaving primarily bonds which bear an
interest rate equal to or close to the mortgage rate.
Interest expense on repurchase agreements decreased from $568,000 in
1993 to $509,000 in 1994. This the result of a decrease in the average
amount of debt outstanding from $15,234,000 in 1993 to $9,854,000 in 1994.
However, this was reduction offset by an increase in the weighted average
interest rate from 3.70% in 1993 to 5.10% in 1994. Management and residual
interest administration fees declined in 1994 because of the lower level of
average invested assets which arose from the 1993 write downs of Mortgage
Assets. In 1994 the Company incurred management fees of $121,000 and
residual interest administration fees of $100,000 as compared to fees of
$179,000 and $110,000, respectively, in 1993. General and administrative
expense declined from $1,430,000 in 1993 to $1,229,000 in 1994 because
costs of stockholder communications and the capitalization in 1994 of
certain consulting fees.
1993 Compared to 1992
The increases in both actual mortgage prepayments and the forecasted
level of future prepayments which gave rise to substantial write downs of
Mortgage Assets commencing in mid-1992 continued throughout 1993. As a
result, the Company sustained a net loss before the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for real estate investments of $15,560,000 or
$1.92 per share. This compares to a net loss of $21,387,000 or $2.64 per
share in 1992. Write downs in 1993 totaled $12,388,000 as compared to
$25,047,000 in 1992. The carrying values of these assets were adjusted so
that their book values at the end of each quarter equaled the sum of their
projected future cash flows based on an assumed continuation of the high
prepayment speeds. The projected increase in future prepayments shortened
the anticipated future life of the investments and therefore reduced their
existing values. The higher prepayments also caused lower income on some
of the Company's Mortgage Assets which did not require downward
adjustments.
Net interest margin (interest income from Mortgage Certificates net of
interest expense on CMOs) declined from $1,590,000 in 1992 to a net
interest expense of $1,450,000 in 1993 because of the retirement of some of
the lower coupon bonds leaving primarily bonds which carried an interest
rate equal to or close to the mortgage rate. Net interest margin was also
adversely impacted by changes in non-cash expenses related to the mortgages
and bonds such as an increase in total amortization of bond issuance costs
and discount on Mortgage Certificates and CMOs from $1,566,000 in 1992 to
$3,016,000 in 1993.
Interest expense on repurchase agreements decreased from $781,000 in
1992 to $568,000 in 1993 because of the lower average interest rate in 1993
as well as the decreased level of short-term borrowings. Management and
residual interest administration fees declined in 1993 because of the
decreased level of average invested assets arising from the write downs of
mortgage-related assets. In 1993 the Company incurred management fees of
$179,000 and residual interest administration fees of $110,000 as compared
to management fees of $276,000 and residual interest administration fees of
$100,000 in 1992. General and administrative expense in 1993 was $431,000
greater than in 1992 because of increased accounting fees related to tax
matters, the employment of outside consultants to aid in the development of
future investment strategies for the Company, increased franchise and
excise taxes and increases in overhead expenses.
Outlook
Because mortgage interest rates increased in 1994, the high level of
prepayments experienced in 1992 and 1993 subsided. As a result, most of
the Company's Mortgage Assets yielded income in 1994 approximately equal to
the amounts projected at the end of 1993. If mortgage interest rates
remain stable or increase, the Company will continue to show profits on
these assets. If mortgage rates decline sufficiently to cause prepayments
to increase, the Company will again have write downs on certain of its
single family Mortgage Assets.
The Company has determined that it will direct its future investments
to multifamily residential properties and Commercial Securitizations. On
December 29, 1994 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire four multifamily housing properties in California's Central Valley.
These properties consist of 539 units together with 9.75 acres of
unimproved land slated for development of an additional 126 units. The
properties will be purchased in a series of closings occurring between mid-
January and mid-September, 1995. The aggregate purchase price for the
properties will be $29,275,000, including existing debt to be assumed by
the Company. During the second and fourth quarters of 1994, the Company
acquired subordinate interests in Commercial Securitizations for
$1,232,000.
The Company has generated significant tax loss carryforwards from
losses experienced over the last several years. The Company has continued
to generate cash flows from its Mortgage Assets and it is expected that in
the future, to a large degree, these cash flows will represent a return of
investment principal to the Company and not taxable income required to be
distributed as dividends to stockholders. The Company has been seeking
suitable real estate assets and Commercial Securitizations which would
generate cash flows for additional reinvestment. Should these activities
be successful, the Company would be in a tax position to continue to use
cash flows to rebuild its investment portfolio prior to resuming taxable
dividend payments.
Effect of Interest and Prepayment Rates on Net Income
The Company's income from its investments in Residual Interests is
attributable to its share of the Residual Cash Flow. "Residual Cash Flow"
is the difference between (i) the cash flow from the collateral pledged to
secure a CMO together with reinvestment income and (ii) the amount required
for debt service payments on the CMO bonds together with related
administrative expenses. Residual Cash Flow results from the positive
interest rate spread between the collateral pledged to secure a CMO and the
outstanding CMO bonds of the CMO, and other factors inherent in the CMO
structure.
Income from Residual Cash Flow on an individual Residual Interest is
highest in the earlier years of a CMO since the CMO bonds having earlier
stated maturities generally have lower interest rates. Such income will
decline (and eventually terminate) over the life of the CMO since (i)
progressively higher interest rates on later maturing CMO bonds reduce the
positive spread between the weighted average interest rate on the CMO bonds
and the weighted average pass-through rate on the collateral and (ii) the
administrative expenses of the CMO as a percentage of the spread will
increase as the outstanding principal balance of the collateral declines.
The amount of income that may be generated from the Company's
ownership in Residual Interests is dependent upon the rate of principal
prepayments on Mortgage Loans which underlie the CMO bonds. Lower rates of
prepayment mean a longer life for the Residual Interest and thus higher
income. Similarly, faster rates of prepayment mean a shorter life for the
Residual Interest and lower income. The rate of principal payments on
mortgage loans is influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social
and other factors, but probably the most important factor is the level of
prevailing mortgage rates. In general, if prevailing mortgage interest
rates rise significantly above the interest rates on the collateral pledged
to secure the CMOs, such collateral is likely to experience lower
prepayment rates and hence the Residual would have higher income.
Conversely, if mortgage interest rates fall significantly, prepayments
increase and income from the Residual Interests would be less.
A PO Bond is a bond which passes through only the principal portion of
a mortgage-backed security. PO Bonds are created by splitting the
principal cash flows from the coupon interest on a CMO Bond to create the
PO Bond and an associated IO Bond. PO Bonds are sold at a deep discount to
face value. They pay no periodic coupon interest. Principal is returned
in the form of scheduled amortization and mortgage prepayments.
Ultimately, the entire face amount of a PO Bond is repaid to the investor.
Because there is no coupon, the income performance of a PO Bond is
extremely sensitive to prepayments. Higher prepayments lead to a more
rapid return of principal and a higher yield and lower prepayments lead to
a slower return of principal and a lower yield. However, since a PO Bond
is sold at a discount to its face value, and the total face value is
ultimately received, the total yield on a PO Bond cannot drop below zero.
IO Bonds pass through a specified interest portion of a CMO. The
interest due on an IO Bond is calculated by multiplying this interest rate
times the outstanding balance of the underlying mortgage pools. As the
balance of the underlying mortgages decline to zero, payments on the IO
Bond also decline to zero. Usually the interest on the underlying
mortgages is fixed. If the interest rate is variable, it is called a
Floating Rate IO Bond. If the variable rate of interest is inversely
related to an index, it is called an Inverse IO Bond. A regular IO Bond is
similar to a fixed rate Residual Interest, in that its yield will generally
increase as interest rates increase and decrease as interest rates decline.
An Inverse IO is similar to a LIBOR or COFI indexed Residual. In general
its yield will decrease as interest rates increase and increase as interest
rates decline.
The Company's income from Residual Interests in CMOs which includes
one or more LIBOR or COFI Bond Classes and from Inverse IO Bonds may
fluctuate widely depending upon changes in the LIBOR or COFI rates, which
will affect the amount of interest payable on such LIBOR or COFI bonds and
on the Inverse IO Bond. The Company's income also will be affected by the
relationship between changes in these rates and mortgage prepayments. As a
result of 1994 return of principal and interest earnings, the composition
of the Company's Structured Securities was approximately 23% fixed rate,
24% COFI, 31% IO Bonds and 22% inverse IO bonds. As a result of 1993
reinvestments, write downs, and return of principal, the composition of the
Company's Structured Securities was approximately 31% fixed rate, 19% COFI,
19% IO Bonds and 31% Inverse IO Bonds at December 31, 1993. Because of
this balance, the cash flow characteristics of the Company's Structured
Securities are intended to complement each other in a way that, to some
extent, hedges the portfolio internally. The goals are to avoid undue
future interest rate risk and to obtain greater ability to produce steady
cash flow levels.
Under certain extended high interest rate periods or in the event of
extremely high prepayment rates on the Collateral, the return on the
Company's investment in a Residual Interest or IO Bond could be
significantly reduced. In the event that the projected return on
Structured Securities falls below a risk free rate, the Company would be
required to write down the asset to a fair value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company uses its cash flow to provide working capital to pay its
expenses and debt service, acquire other assets and, at the discretion of
the Board of Directors, to pay dividends to its shareholders. In 1994 the
Company generated cash flow from its operations of $7,914,000 as compared
to $4,342,000 in 1993, whereas in 1992 the Company used $5,934,000 of cash
to support operations.
At December 31, 1994 the Company had outstanding borrowings with one
investment banking firm under repurchase agreements totaling $8,325,000.
All of the borrowing had initial terms of one month, are renewed on a month-
to-month basis and have a floating rate of interest which is tied to the
one month LIBOR rate. The weighted average interest rate of these
borrowings at that date was 6.9776%. At December 31, 1993 the Company had
outstanding borrowings with two investment banking firms under repurchase
agreements. At that date the Company owed $11,745,000. The weighted
average interest rate of these borrowings was 3.65%. At December 31, 1994,
the Company had no other borrowings or committed lines of credit.
Management of the Company believes that the cash flow from operations
and availability of repurchase agreements are sufficient to enable the
Company to meet its current and anticipated future liquidity requirements
including payment of dividends to its shareholders, which must equal at
least 95% of the Company's taxable income in order for the Company to
qualify as a REIT.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The Company
TIS Mortgage Investment Company (the "Company") was incorporated on
May 11, 1988. At incorporation 100 shares of the Company's Common Stock
were issued to TIS Financial Services, Inc., formerly Thrift Investment
Services (the "Manager") at $10 per share. During the period from the
Company's incorporation until August 26, 1988, the Company's activities
consisted solely of preparations for its initial public offering. On
August 26, 1988, the Company completed its initial public offering of
7,600,000 shares of Common Stock at a price to the public of $10 per share
and commenced operations. On October 11, 1988, as part of the initial
public offering, the Company issued an additional 500,000 shares of its
Common Stock at $10 per share in connection with the exercise of an over-
allotment option by the underwriters. In 1992, 5,780 shares were issued
under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"Plan"). No additional shares were issued in 1993 or 1994 as shares
required for the Plan were purchased on the open market.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Overall Methods of Accounting - On May 31, 1990, the Emerging Issues
Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus
(Issue 89-4) for a uniform method of accounting for Residual Interests in
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). The consensus, among other
things, required Residual Interests to be classified either as "equity"
(and be accounted for under the Equity Method) or as "nonequity" (and be
accounted for under a level yield method referred to as the Prospective
Method). The methods described in Issue 89-4 are essentially the same as
those used by the Company.
Accounting Change - On December 31, 1993 the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Standard No. 115 ("SFAS 115") - Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In accordance with this
new Standard, the Company is required to classify its investments as either
trading investments, available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity
investments. The Company is not in the business of trading its real estate
investments, however, from time to time the Company may sell an investment
as part of its efforts to adjust its portfolio composition to reflect
changes in economic conditions. Therefore, the Company has classified all
its real estate related investments as available-for-sale investments,
carried at fair value in the financial statements. Unrealized holding
gains and losses for available-for-sale investments are excluded from
earnings and reported as a net amount in shareholders' equity until
realized.
All of the Company's investments are subject to write down whenever
the yield on the projected cash flows is less than a risk free rate. If
the yield on the projected cash flows is less than a risk free rate, the
decline in value is considered to be "other than temporary" and the
investment is written down to its fair value as the new cost basis. The
amount of the write down is included in the Company's current earnings
(i.e. accounted for as a realized loss). The Emerging Issues Task Force of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus (EITF 93-18)
as to the definition of "other than temporary" impairment. The Company's
accounting policy is consistent with this consensus.
For purposes of applying the impairment provisions of SFAS No. 115,
the Company considers its investment in each of its Equity Residuals to be
a net cash flow investment (net of CMO Bond interest payments and related
CMO Bond administrative expenses). The Company measures other than
temporary impairment by comparing the yield on the projected net cash flows
from the Equity Residual, (i.e. Mortgage Certificates net of discounts and
CMO Bond Liabilities) to a risk free rate. If the yield on the projected
cash flows from the Equity Residual is less than a risk free rate, the
Company records a reserve to reduce the carrying value to fair value. The
fair value is calculated using the forecasted net cash flows discounted at
a risk adjusted rate. The risk adjusted rate is determined by the Company
using established market transactions for securities having similar
characteristics and backed by collateral of similar rate and term.
The Company recognized a $9,879,000 charge to earnings in 1993 from
the cumulative effect at December 31, 1993 of adopting the new standard for
assets which meet the definition of other than temporary impairment. For
assets which do not meet the definition of other than temporary impairment
and for assets where the fair value exceeds amortized cost, the Company has
recorded, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting for investments, a
net unrealized gain of $1,351,000 directly to equity as prescribed by SFAS
No. 115 for assets classified as available-for-sale. Prior years'
consolidated financial statements were not permitted to be restated.
The change in accounting principle significantly reduced the amortized
cost of many of the Company's CMO Ownership Interests. As a result, it was
anticipated that there would be earnings from these assets in future
periods. However, faster prepayment speeds and lower estimates of cash
flow from call rights may cause the fair value of CMO Ownership Interests
and Acquired CMO Classes to decline further and may require additional
write downs in the future.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
TISMAC. The assets of TISMAC are not available to pay creditors of the
Company. The Company has undertaken to indemnify certain parties who have
contracted with TISMAC against certain losses which they might sustain in
carrying out their obligations. In addition, under generally accepted
accounting principles, the Company consolidates assets and liabilities of
Owner Trust Residuals when over 50% equity interest in the trust is held by
the Company. The portion of equity interest of each such Owner Trust
Residual not owned by the Company is accounted for as minority interest.
Mortgage Certificates and CMOs - Mortgage certificates and CMO bonds
of consolidated Owner Trusts are carried at their outstanding principal
balance plus or minus any premium or discount, respectively.
Amortization of Premiums and Discounts - Premiums and discounts
related to mortgage certificates and CMOs are amortized to income using the
interest method over the stated maturity of the mortgage certificates or
CMOs.
Residual Interests and Interest Only (IO) Bonds - Residual Interests
held in bond form and Corporate Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit
("REMIC") Residual Interests, regardless of percentage ownership, are
Nonequity Residual Interests and, along with IO Bonds, are accounted for
under the Prospective method. Under this method, assets are carried at
book value and income is amortized over their estimated lives based on a
method which provides a constant yield. At the end of each quarter, the
yield over the remaining life of the asset is recalculated based on
expected future cash flows using current interest rates and mortgage
prepayment speeds. This new yield is then used to calculate the subsequent
quarter's financial statement income.
Restricted Cash - Restricted cash represents the cash balances of CMOs
in which the Company holds a Residual Interest and whose assets and
liabilities are consolidated with those of the Company. This cash is not
available to the Company or its creditors.
Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company must
distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to its shareholders. No
provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements as the Company is not subject to federal income taxes.
The loss reported in the accompanying financial statements may be greater
or less than the taxable loss because some income and expense items are
reported in different periods for income tax purposes. Over the life of a
Residual Interest or IO Bond, total taxable income will equal total
financial statement income. However, the timing of income recognition may
differ between the two from year to year.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share - Net income (loss) per share is based
upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for
1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
the Company considers only highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
3. Taxation of Dividends Declared
The dividends paid by the Company of $0.02, $0.25 and $0.56 per share
in the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were fully taxable as
ordinary income.
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a dividend declared by a REIT
in December of a calendar year, which is payable to shareholders of record
as of a specified date in December, will be deemed to have been paid by the
Company and received by the shareholders on that record date if the
dividend is actually paid before February 1st of the following calendar
year. Therefore, the $0.34 dividend declared in December 1991 to
shareholders of record at December 31, 1991 and paid in January 1992 was
taxable income in 1991. However, since the $0.05 dividend declared in
December 1992 and paid in January 1993 had a record date of January 4,
1993, it is considered 1993 income and its taxability is based on the
REIT's 1993 taxable income. The Company's dividends are not eligible for
the dividends-received deduction for corporations.
All of the 1994, 1993 and 1992 dividends paid are considered "excess
inclusion" income. Excess inclusion income is attributable to Residual
Interests for which an election has been made to be treated as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes. The portion of the Company's dividends
determined to be excess inclusion income is taxable to certain otherwise
tax-exempt shareholders as unrelated business income. Except for certain
entities such as savings and loan associations, the portion of the dividend
considered excess inclusion income may not be offset by any deductions or
losses, including net operating losses.
4. Residual Interests
General - Each CMO in which the Company has purchased a Residual
Interest was rated at the time of its issuance "AAA" by Standard & Poor's
Corporation or "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Each such CMO is
comprised of one or more classes of bonds (each, a "Bond Class") and was
issued pursuant to an Indenture between the CMO issuer and a specified
trustee. Each CMO is structured so that the principal and interest
payments received from the collateral pledged to secure such CMO, together
with reinvestment income thereon, will be sufficient, irrespective of the
rate of prepayments on the collateral, to make timely payments of interest
on each Bond Class, to begin the payment of principal on each Bond Class
not later than its "first mandatory principal date" and to retire each Bond
Class not later than its "stated maturity."
Interest on Bond Classes is payable on specified payment dates
(quarterly or monthly), except with respect to "compound interest bonds" on
which interest accrues and is added to the principal amount thereof on each
payment date until the conditions set forth in the related Indenture have
been satisfied, and with respect to "principal only bonds" which do not
bear interest at a stated rate. Each other Bond Class provides for payment
of interest at a fixed or variable rate for the life of such Bond Class.
The interest rate on variable rate Bond Classes resets monthly based on
specified margins in relation to LIBOR or COFI.
Principal payments on Bond Classes are made on specified payment dates
(quarterly or monthly) or in full at maturity in accordance with the terms
of the related Indenture. Generally, payments of principal are allocated
to the earlier maturing Bond Classes until such Bond Classes are paid in
full. Payments of principal on certain Bond Classes occur pursuant to a
specified repayment schedule or formula (to the extent funds are available
therefore), regardless of which other Bond Classes are outstanding.
Residual Interests are classified as either equity or nonequity.
Presented on the following table is a schedule of the Nonequity Residual
Interests and the Prospective Yield at December 31, 1994.

Equity Residual Interests - The Company holds interests in two Owner
Trust Residuals. It also holds the Residual Interest in TISMAC 1989-1, the
CMO issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. Although the
underlying CMOs in these Residual Interests are not liabilities of the
Company, under the requirements of generally accepted accounting
principles, the Company consolidates assets and liabilities of TISMAC 1989-
1 and the Owner Trust Residuals when over 50% equity interest in the trust
is held by the Company.
Under the underlying bond indentures, the Company would never be
required to pay more than the outstanding principal balance to retire the
CMO Bonds. Therefore, the carrying value of these CMO Bonds are reasonable
estimates of their fair value to the Company. Certain characteristics of
the CMO Bonds in the Equity Residual Interests in which the Company holds
an interest are set forth below:

6. Fair Value of Equity Residuals and Mortgage Certificates
For purposes of determining fair value of the Company's investment in
Equity Residuals in applying SFAS No. 115, the Company uses the cash flows
from Mortgage Certificates, net of CMO Bond interest expenses and related
trustee expenses. The Company includes in its net cash flows an assumption
of redemption of the Series at the earliest available stated redemption
date with an assumed sale of the Mortgage Certificates at a current market
price. These cash flows are discounted at a fair value rate of 14%. The
following table gives the pertinent fair value assumptions used in
forecasting the cash flows as of December 31, 1994:

fair value of the mortgage certificates collateralizing the CMO Bonds is
presented in the table below as of December 31, 1994. The Company is not
able to sell the mortgage collateral, and therefore realize any gain, until
the CMO Bonds which are collateralized by the mortgages mature or are

7. Fair Value of Nonequity Residual Interests and IO Bonds
General - Substantially all income to the Company is derived from the
cash flows from the Company's Residual Interests and IO Bonds. The fair
value of a Residual Interest and an IO Bond is the net present value of the
projected future cash flows. The amount of cash flows that may be
generated from the Company's Residual Interests and IO Bonds are uncertain
and may be subject to wide variations depending primarily upon the rate and
timing of prepayments on the mortgage collateral and, for Residual
Interests with variable rate Bond Classes and Inverse IO Bonds, changes in
LIBOR and COFI. The following information sets forth assumptions used to
calculate the projected cash flows on the Company's Residual Interests and
IO Bonds, and the present value of these assets at December 31, 1994 based
on various assumptions and discount factors.
Assumptions - For purposes of the presentations below, the Nonequity
Residual Interests have been separated into two groups: Residual Interests
in CMOs with fixed rate Bond Classes and Residual Interests in CMOs with
one or more LIBOR or COFI Bond Classes still outstanding. The IO Bonds
have been separated into two groups: regular IO Bonds and Inverse IO Bonds.
For purposes of projecting future cash flows, the following December 31,
1994 one-month LIBOR rate and the 11th District COFI rate for October which
was released in December 1994 are used:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
INTEREST RATE ASSUMPTIONS
-------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
One Month LIBOR 5.96875%
11th District COFI 4.18700%
-------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Principal payments on mortgage loans may be in the form of scheduled
amortization or prepayments (for this purpose, "prepayments" includes
principal prepayments and liquidations due to default or other
dispositions). The prepayment assumptions used herein are based on an
assumed rate of prepayment each month of the unpaid principal balance on a
pool of mortgage loans. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes prepayment
rates of 0.2% per annum of the then outstanding principal balance of such
mortgage loans in the first month of the life of such mortgage loans and an
additional 0.2% per annum in each month thereafter (for example, 0.4% per
annum in the second month) until the 30th month. Beginning with the 30th
month and in each month thereafter during the life of such mortgage loans,
a 100% prepayment assumption assumes a constant prepayment rate of 6% per
annum.
The prepayment assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the
Company's Nonequity Residual Interests and IO Bonds are the Bloomberg
Financial Markets ("Bloomberg") Dealer Prepayment Estimates Average as
estimated by several dealers in mortgage-related assets and compiled by
Bloomberg as of January 3, 1995. Bloomberg has obtained this information
from sources it believes to be reliable but has not verified such
information and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of such
information. The following are the prepayment assumptions used to project
cash flows in order to calculate the present value of Nonequity Residual
Interests and IO Bonds:
<TABLE>

FNMA/FHLMC Certificates 9.5% 206-214%
FNMA/FHLMC Certificates 10.0% 236%
FNMA/FHLMC Certificates 10.5% 287%
----------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Neither the interest rates nor the prepayment assumptions used herein
purports to be a historical description of interest rates or prepayment
experiences or a prediction of future interest rates or prepayments of any
pool of mortgage loans. The fair value of these assets can vary
dramatically depending on future interest rates, prepayment speeds and the
discount factor used.
Present Value of Projected Cash Flows - The tables which follow set
forth the present value at December 31, 1994 of the projected cash flows
discounted at the indicated discounted rates subject to the assumptions
described above. For example, if cash flows are projected using the
Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg") Dealer Prepayment Estimates
Average, as estimated by several dealers in mortgage-related assets and
compiled by Bloomberg as of January 3, 1995, and Nonequity Residual
Interests in CMOs with fixed rate Bond Classes are discounted at 14%, and
the Nonequity Residual Interests in CMOs with variable rate Bond Classes
are discounted at 18%, the present value of the projected cash flows of the
Company's Nonequity Residual Interests would equal approximately
$8,675,000. This is the Company's estimate of the fair value of these
assets. In addition, if cash flows on the Company's regular IO Bonds are
discounted at 14% and the cash flows on its Inverse IO Bonds are discounted
at 30%, the present value of the projected cash flows on the IO Bonds would
equal $9,558,000. This represents a decrease of $236,000 from the
$9,794,000 book value of these assets. The difference of $236,000 is the
difference between the present value of cash flows and the actual market
values as of December 31, 1994 of FNMA SMBS Trust 7 Class 2 IO and FNMA
SMBS Trust 4 Class 2 IO. The book value is the Company's estimate of the
fair value of these IO Bonds. There will be differences between the
projected cash flows used to calculate the present value of these assets
and the actual cash flows received by the Company, and such differences may
be material.

8. Short Term Debt
Short term debt is debt due within 360 days after the end of the year.
At December 31, 1994 the Company owed $8,325,000 under one repurchase
agreement. All of the borrowings had initial terms of one month, are
renewed on a month-to-month basis and have a floating rate of interest
which is tied to the one month LIBOR rate. The weighted average interest
rate of such borrowings at December 31, 1994 was 6.9776%. At December 31,
1993 short-term borrowings totaled $11,745,000 and had a weighted average
interest rate of 3.652%. The Company has no committed lines of credit.
9. Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into an agreement (the "Management Agreement")
with the Manager which is renewable annually. In June 1994 the Board of
Directors renewed the Management Agreement through June 30, 1995 and it is
thereafter renewable annually.
The Manager advises the Company on various facets of its business and
manages its operations, subject to supervision by the Company's Board of
Directors. For performing these services, the Manager receives a base
management fee of 3/8 of 1% per annum of the Company's average invested
assets and an incentive management fee equal to 25% of the amount by which
the Company's annualized return on equity, calculated based on taxable
income, exceeds the ten-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 1%. Management fees
of $121,000, $179,000 and $276,000 were earned in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Within two months of the applicable year end, $32,000 of the
1994 fees, $31,000 of the 1993 fees and $59,000 of the 1992 fees were paid.
In order to compensate the Manager for certain administrative functions
that the Manager performs with respect to each Residual Interest purchased
by the Company, for which neither the Manager nor an affiliate acts as bond
administrator, the Company pays the Manager a fee equal to $10,000 per
annum for each Residual Interest. A total of $100,000 of these Residual
Interest Administration fees were earned by the Manager and paid in 1994 as
compared to $110,000 in 1993 and $100,000 in 1992. For 1994, 1993 and
1992, the Manager did not charge a Residual Interest Administration Fee on
those Residual Interests for which it projected total 1995, 1994 and 1993
income of less that $40,000. In addition, the Manager is reimbursed for
certain direct expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. At December 31,
1994 and 1993, all of these reimbursable expenses were paid to the Manager.
At December 31, 1992, $29,000 of these reimbursable expenses were due to
the Manager. This amount was paid within one month after the applicable
year end.
10. Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
On October 21, 1988 TISMAC, the wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
Company, was incorporated for the purpose of issuing CMOs directly. At
incorporation 100 shares of TISMAC's common stock were issued to the
Company for $100. The assets of the Subsidiary are not available to pay
creditors of the Company. The Company has undertaken to indemnify certain
parties who have contracted with the Subsidiary against certain losses
which they might sustain in carrying out their obligations.
11 . Other Fair Value Disclosure
The Company has the following other financial instruments: cash and
cash equivalents, accrued interest and accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, short term debt
and dividends payable. The carrying amounts of these instruments are
reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short term nature.

13. Acquisition of Multifamily residential property.

ARTICLE I: Stockholders
SECTION 1.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation shall be held on such date within the month of June and
at such place, within or without the State of Maryland, as may be
determined by the Board of Directors and as shall be designated in the
notice of said meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the
meeting.
SECTION 1.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders
for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by
the Articles of Incorporation, may be held at any place, within or without
the State of Maryland, and may be called at any time by the Board of
Directors or by the president, and shall be called at the request in
writing of stockholders entitled to cast at least twenty-five (25) percent
of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Such request shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and the matters
proposed to be acted on at it; provided, however, that unless requested by
stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be
cast at the meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any
matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any meeting
of the stockholders held during the preceding twelve (12) months. The
Secretary shall inform such stockholders of the estimated costs of
preparing and mailing the notice of the meeting and on payment of these
costs to the Corporation shall notify each stockholder entitled to notice
of the meeting.
SECTION 1.3. Notice of Meetings. Written or printed notice of the
time and place of every meeting, and of the purpose of any special meeting,
of the stockholders shall be given by the Secretary of the Corporation to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and each other

the mail at least (10) days, but not more than ninety (90) days, and in any
event within the period prescribed by law, prior to the date named for the
meeting addressed to each stockholder at his address appearing on the books
of the Corporation or supplied by him in the Corporation for the purposes
of notice. The notice of every meeting of stockholders may be accompanied
by a form of proxy approved by the Board of Directors in favor of such
actions or persons as the Board of Directors may select.
SECTION 1.4. Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix a date not
more than ninety (90) days preceding the date of any meeting of
stockholders, or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend, or the
date of the allotment of rights, as a record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any such meeting (or any
adjournment thereof) or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or to
receive such allotment of rights. In such case, only stockholders of
record at the time so fixed shall be entitled to vote, to receive notice,
or receive dividends or rights, notwithstanding any subsequent transfer on
the books of the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall not close the
books of the Corporation against transfers of shares during the whole or
any part of such period. In the case of a meeting of stockholders, the
record date shall be fixed not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of

SECTION 1.5. Quorum and Shareholder Action. Except as otherwise
provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, the presence in
person or by proxy of stockholders of the Corporation entitled to cast at
least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at least a majority
of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting shall constitute a
quorum and a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes
before the meeting; provided, however, that a plurality of all the votes
cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect
a director. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders present in person
or by proxy, by majority vote and without notice other than by announcement
at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting from time to time as provided in
Section 1.7 of this Article I until a quorum shall attend.

the President, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the
President, a Vice-President, or in the absence of the Chairman of the

of Directors, a Chairman chosen by the stockholders, shall act as chairman;
and the Secretary, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the
absence of the Secretary and all the Assistant Secretaries, a person
appointed by the chairman, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
SECTION 1.7. Adjournment. Any meeting of the stockholders may be
adjourned from time to time, without notice other than by announcement at
the meeting at which such adjournment is taken, and at any such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present any action may be taken that
could have been taken at the meeting originally called; provided, that the
meeting may not be adjourned to a date more than the number of days after
the original record date for the meeting permitted by law, and if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record
entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.
SECTION 1.8. Beneficial Owners. The Board of Directors may adopt by

person other than the stockholder.
ARTICLE II: Board of Directors
SECTION 2.1. Election and Term of Office. The number of directors
shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the

shareholders nor more than twelve (12). The business, affairs and property
of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board
of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do
all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, the Articles of
Incorporation or these By-Laws required to be exercised or done by the
stockholders. As soon as the Corporation shall first have three directors,
the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: class I, class
II and class III. The terms of office of the classes of directors shall
expire at the times of the annual meetings of the stockholders as follows -
- class I in 1989, class II in 1990 and class III in 1991 -- or thereafter
in each case when their respective successors are elected and qualified.
At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms
are expiring shall be identified as being of the same class as the
directors whom they succeed, and shall be elected for a term expiring at
the time of the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, or
thereafter in each case when their respective successors are elected and
qualified. The number of directorships shall be apportioned among the
classes so as to maintain the classes as nearly equal in number as
possible.
SECTION 2.2. Unaffiliated Directors. During such time as the
Corporation qualifies or seeks to qualify as a real estate investment
trust, except in the case of a vacancy, a majority of the Board of
Directors shall be composed of persons who (i) are not Affiliates (as

for directing and performing the day-to-day business affairs of the
Corporation (the "Manager") or of any person which is an Affiliate of the
Manager, and (ii) are not employed by, or receiving any compensation
(except for serving as a director) from, the Corporation ("Unaffiliated

controlled by or is under common control with the specified person, (ii)
any person that is an officer, director or employee of, partner in or
trustee of, or serves in a similar capacity with respect to, the specified

indirectly, is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of equity
securities issued by the specified person, or any person 5% or more of
whose equity securities are, directly or indirectly, beneficially owned by
such other person, and (iv) any person that has a material business or
professional relationship with the specified person, provided, however,
that a person shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Manager or of
any person which is an Affiliate of the Manager solely by reason of serving
as a director of one or more investment companies of which the Manager or
an Affiliate of the Manager serves as investment advisor or in any other
capacity. "Person" includes a natural person, corporation, partnership,
trust company or other entity for purposes of this definition.
SECTION 2.3. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held without notice on such dates as the Board may from
time to time determine.

books of the Corporation. It shall not be requisite to the validity of any
meeting of the Board of Directors that notice thereof shall have been given
to any director who is present thereat, or, if absent, waives notice
thereof in writing filed with the records of the meeting either before or
after the holding thereof.
SECTION 2.6. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may hold its
regular and special meetings at such place or places within or without the

entire Board of Directors, but in no case less than two (2) directors,
unless there is only one (1) director, shall be necessary to constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at each meeting of the Board,
provided, however, that a majority of the directors who constitute any
quorum shall be composed of Unaffiliated Directors; (b) the action of a
majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the action of the Board; and (c) if at any meeting there be less
than a quorum present, a majority of those directors present may adjourn
the meeting from time to time, but not for a period greater than thirty
(30) days at any one time, without notice other than by announcement at the
meeting until a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at
which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might
have been transacted at the meeting as originally scheduled.
SECTION 2.8. Action without Meeting. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee
of the Board may be taken without a meeting if an unanimous consent which
sets forth the action is signed by each member of the Board or committee
and is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.
SECTION 2.9. Organization. Every meeting of the Board of Directors

the Board of Directors, whether or not these members constitute a quorum
under Section 2.7 of this Article II; provided, however, that the remaining
Unaffiliated Directors shall nominate replacements for vacancies among the
unaffiliated Directors, which replacements must be elected by a majority of
the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors.
Any director so chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next
annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall have
been duly elected and qualified.
SECTION 2.11. Resignations. Any director may resign at any time by
giving written notice to the Board of Directors, the President or the

determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and
report the same to the Board of Directors when required. The members of a
committee present at any meeting, whether or not they constitute a quorum,
may appoint a director to act in the place of an absent member, as long as
the composition of the committee after such appointment complies with the
second sentence of this Section 2.12.
SECTION 2.13. Telephone Conference. Members of the Board of
Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the
Board or such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other at the same time and participation by such
means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
SECTION 2.14. Compensation of Directors. Any director, whether or
not he or she is a salaried officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation,
may be compensated for his or her services as director or as a member of a
committee, or as Chairman of the Board or chairman of a committee, and in
addition may be reimbursed for transportation and other expenses, all in
such manner and amounts as the directors may from time to time determine. I
SECTION 2.15. Investments and Limitations of Indebtedness.
(a) Investments. The Board of Directors, including a majority of the

guidelines (the "Guidelines"), which shall contain criteria and parameters
pursuant to which the investment policies, borrowings and operations of the
Corporation and transactions in which the Manager or Affiliates of the
Manager have an interest shall be implemented, (b) review the investment
policies of the Corporation and the Guidelines at least annually to
determine that they continue to be in the best interests of the
stockholders of the Corporation, and (c) approve any deviations from the
Guidelines on a case-by-case basis consistent with the continued
qualifications of the Corporation as a real estate investment trust.
(b) Limitation of Indebtedness. The Corporation shall not incur
indebtedness if, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, aggregate
indebtedness (other than indebtedness represented by Structured Securities
and any other loans between the Corporation and its trusts or
subsidiaries), secured and unsecured, would exceed 300% of the
Corporation's Average Invested Assets in the preceding calendar quarter, as
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
unless approved by a majority of the directors who are not Affiliates of
the Manager or of any person who is an Affiliate of the Manager. The term
"Average Invested Assets" for any quarter means the average of the
aggregate book value of the issued and outstanding Structured Securities
secured by Mortgage Instruments of the Corporation, its trusts and
subsidiaries, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of
each month during such quarter.
SECTION 2.16. Management Arrangements.
(a) The Board of Directors may delegate the duty of management of the
assets and the administration of the Corporation's day-to-day operations to
a Manager pursuant to a written contract or contracts, or any renewal
thereof, which have obtained the requisite approval of the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors.
(b) Each contract for the services of the Manager entered into by the
Board of Directors shall have a term, except for the initial term
commencing on the date of the closing of the Corporation's initial public
offering, of no more than one year, but may be renewed annually at or prior
to the expiration of the contract. Each contract shall be terminable
without cause by a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors or the Manager
upon sixty days' written notice.
(c) The Unaffiliated Directors shall determine at least annually that
the compensation that the Corporation contracts to pay the Manager is
reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services performed,
and also shall supervise the performance of the Manager and the
compensation paid to the Manager by Corporation to determine that the
provisions of such contract are being carried out.
(d) Unless consistent with the Guidelines, all transactions involving
the Corporation in which the Manager has an interest must be approved by a
majority of the Unaffiliated Directors.
ARTICLE III: Officers
SECTION 3.1. Number. The officers of the Corporation shall be a
President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer, and may include a Chairman of the
Board, one or more Vice-Presidents, one or more Assistant Secretaries, one
or more Assistant Treasurers, and such other officers as the Board of
Directors may from time to time determine. Any officer may hold more than
one office in the Corporation, except that an officer may not serve
