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

Mortgage notes receivable are collateralized by real estate, assignment
of rents, certain future earnings of borrowers, other borrower assets,
investor notes and borrower personal guarantees.  The collateralized real
estate is located at various geographical locations, with a concentration
in the downtown district of Kansas City, Missouri.  A substantial portion
of the Company's debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon
the recovery of the real estate economy.

Due to the uncertainty of future collections and possible foreclosures,
management is unable to estimate the scheduled maturities of mortgage notes
receivable over the next five years and thereafter.

MASTER MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Business Environment

During 1990 through most of 1992 the United States, in general,
suffered through a recessionary cycle.  The markets served by the
Company were affected to varying degrees.  The national economic
environment continued to affect the Company's activities through
a reduction in demand for rental space and a lack of activity in
the real estate market.  In particular commercial, retail, and
development activities continued to be negatively impacted during
1991-1993.

The result of over-building in certain markets, the lack of
transactions in real estate and the general decline in the economy
led to increased vacancies, declining or no growth rents and a
substantial number of defaults in mortgage notes.  The market
conditions and activities of regulatory agencies created a decline
in real estate loans available.  Due to the basic nature of the
Company's short-term lending policies, the national credit crisis
and the inability of borrowers to find takeout lenders were to be
the most significant factors affecting the performance of the Company.

The real estate economy, both nationally and the markets served by the
Company, improved during 1994 and 1995 and have continued to improve
in 1996.  Residential vacancies have decreased and office market
leasing has improved.  The hotel industry had a profitable year in
1995 and expectations for 1996 are for continued profitability.
In general, these factors have had a positive impact on the Company's
financial results.

Due to the number of assets taken through foreclosure and loan
workouts, the operating monthly cash flow of the Company has continued
to be adversely affected.  The continuation of substantial non-earning
loans at June 30, 1996 and in 1995 has negatively impacted the
Company's cash flow.  Although the Company has decreased its
non-earning loans through foreclosures and loan workouts, some of these
assets are still under performing.  Due to a limited liquidity in the
real estate markets serving the Company, the Company is pursuing
workouts or foreclosures related to its existing debts whose terms
have expired and strategies to improve cash flow on real estate owned.

The Company has continued to operate under its Strategic Redirection Plan (SRP).
The SRP is intended to preserve and enhance the value of the Company's assets.
The SRP comprises three phases as follows:


PHASE 1

ASSET PRESERVATION - The Company is taking steps to protect its interest in
its assets.  The Company has undertaken foreclosures, workouts and litigation
as its primary tools in accomplishing this first phase of the SRP.  The Company
is in the process of negotiating final workouts related to all three of its
remaining assets which are under Phase I of the SRP.

PHASE 2

CASH FLOW ENHANCEMENT - The Company is focusing its energies on the
re-establishing of cash flow.  This phase encompasses asset monitoring,
collection efforts and control procedures over Phase 1 workout programs.
The ultimate success of this phase will be dependent on the continued
turn around of the general real estate market.

PHASE 3

SHAREHOLDER LIQUIDITY - The final phase of the SRP is to provide shareholders
of the Company with liquidity options.  The first and foremost goal of this
phase will be the creation of a marketplace for the Company's stock.  In
addition, a program for hardship situations in the case of  death, disability
and certain retirements will be considered.  The ability for Company
management to accomplish this phase will be subject to the marketplace
response to the SRP and the conversion of the Company's convertible Debentures
to stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

It was the policy of the Company to augment its equity capital by
borrowings in order to increase its investments in realty and mortgage
loans and thus diversify its investment risk.  The Company, in its
early years, experienced favorable results from lending Companies to
borrowers at higher rates, or acquiring mortgage loans paying higher
rates, than are charged to the Company under its credit facilities.
However, due to the number of non-earning or partially earning loans
in 1990 through 1995, this technique led to an additional strain on
the Company's cash flow and operations.  These issues were addressed
as part of the debt restructuring under the Company's Plan of
Reorganization.

The Company has a note payable with the First Bank of Missouri which
was formerly a revolving line of credit.  The principal balance owed
under this note at June 30, 1996, was $1,950,423.  The note terms
include an amortization period of twenty years with interest at eight
percent (8%) paid monthly with a balloon payment on April 11, 1999.

The Company had reached a agreement for a restructuring of this note
which will entail a substitution of certain collateral, new funding
and a requirement by the Company to convert certain of its mortgage
loans into equity in a newly formed partnership which will own a 101
room all suite hotel.  The Company currently is in default on this
note but has been given a moratorium on any action by the Bank as
these negotiations on the restructuring are finalized.

The Company and its partner has a $1,104,614 first mortgage loan with
a bank in Texas relating to the Company's hotel in Euless, Texas.  The
Company is a seventy-five percent (75%) partner in the partnership
which owns the Hotel.  The partnership is current on its obligation
with the bank.  In addition, the partnership owes to the non-Company
partner $1,162,960 as of June 30, 1996, which is being paid out of the
cash flow from the Hotel.  Interest accrued of 140,292 remains unpaid
at June 30, 1996.

The Company owes $8,975,896 as of June 30, 1996 on its subordinated
debentures.  The terms of the debentures include an amortization
period over twenty years with interest at six percent and a balloon
payment in 2003 of any unpaid principal and interest.  The debentures
are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all senior
indebtedness of the Company (which includes all collateralized debt of
the Company).

Senior indebtedness will be paid in full before holders of the subordinated
debentures will be paid any principal or interest.  Accordingly, no payment
under the debentures has been made.  The Company has converted $519,751 of
Debentures into 2,320,317 shares of common stock under the conversion privilege
of the Debenture.

The Company has received $315,082 of election notices to Convert Debentures
into 1,406,616 shares of common stock which are pending conversion according
to the Debenture Trustee.  These conversions should be completed by September
30, 1996.

The Company re-acquired certain debentures in 1994 and 1995.  These
debentures were acquired under the hardship provisions of the
debenture instrument and under required payments under the Plan of
Reorganization.

The Plan of  Reorganization included an Alternative Treatment for
debenture holders whereby the debenture holder could elect to convert
their debenture plus an equal amount of cash to a debt or a specific
property.

In 1995, those debenture holders who elected this Alternative
Treatment agreed to expand the pool of assets to which this treatment
applied.

Upon closing based on the June 30, 1996 participation the Alternative
Treatment Pool will include approximately $2,848,830 of cash and
$2,921,519 of debentures tendered to the Company.  The debenture
balance due will have a corresponding reduction when the final
closing of the Alternative Treatment is completed.

As the real estate economy continues to recover and the full
implementation of the SRP is completed, the Company's management
believes the Company should be able to substantially recover from
its current short-term cash flow problems.

Results of Operations

The Company's total assets, before giving effect to the allowance for
losses, was $41,349,447 and $40,777,068 at June 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995 respectively.  Included in total assets at June 30, 1996 were
mortgage loans totaling  $16,002,315.   Non-earning mortgage notes
receivable were decreased at June 30, 1996 to $9,516,115 from
$12,962,000 at December 31, 1995.  The allowance for possible losses
related to the mortgage notes of the Company was $9,302,779 at June
30, 1996 and $10,780,742 at December 31, 1995.  The allowance for
possible losses continues to be a direct result of the lack of
liquidity in the real estate industry with respect to certain of the
Company's borrowers  The Company's management, in determining the
reserve for possible loan losses, takes into consideration a number
of factors including property appraisals, the net operating cash flow
of the property, the cost of money expected, capitalization, and
national and local economic and real estate conditions in arriving
at its loan loss evaluation.

The Company had a net profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996
of $1,328,543 or $.22 per share (non-diluted) as compared to a profit
for the period ended June 30, 1995 of $282,537 or $.07 per share
(non-diluted).  The continued profitability of the Company is a result
of implementation of the SRP.

Interest and fee revenue on mortgage loans for June 30, 1996 was
$150,905 compared to $250,397 for June 30, 1995.  This decrease is
a direct result of the non-earning loans and the increase in real
estate owned by the Company.

Revenues from rental real estate decreased in the period ending June
30, 1996 from June 30, 1995 by $30,123.  This decrease was primarily
a result of the Company's disposition of an office building in
October, 1995.

The Company recognized revenues of $865,268 and $935,370 for June 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1995 respectively from a hotel in which the Company is a seventy five
percent (75%) partner and $240,000 of hotel lease rental revenue for both June
30, 1996 and 1995.

The Company recorded a $1,953,340 recovery on its previous reserves for loan
and investment losses at June 30, 1996.  This recovery is directly related to
the implementation of the SRP.

Interest expense increased from $794,831 for June 30, 1995 to $796,621
for June 30, 1996. The conversion of $519,751 of Debentures into common
stock of the Company resulted in $69,283 of previously expensed
interest to be recovered.

The Company's general and administrative expenses decreased by $21,263
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995.

The Company's servicing fees declined in the period ending in June 30,
1996 from $48,893 at June 30, 1994 to $27,705 in the period ending June
30, 1996.  This decline was a result of lower loan servicing fees
related to the decline in mortgage notes.  Payroll costs for June 30,
1996 were $225,270 as compared to $229,780 at June 30, 1995.

The Company recognized rental real estate operating expenses of $650,961 and
$852,822 for the period June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively.  The decrease in
expenses was primarily related to the Company's disposition of an office
building in October, 1995.

The Company recognized hotel expenses of $706,058 and $1,042,869 for
the periods of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, from a hotel in
which the Company is a seventy five percent (75%) partner.

Potential Impact of Known Facts, Commitments, Events
And Uncertainties on Future Operating Results

The Company is substantially impacted by the general economic trends
in the real estate economy.  As the real estate markets served by the
Company continue to recover the Company's ability to perform under the
SRP is improved.  The Company's Trustees and management believe this
improving trend will continue and will result in the Company
stabilizing its monthly operating cash flow.  In the interim, the
Company must complete its debt restructurings and continue to pursue
the sale of one or more of its assets to continue its operations.

The Company has actively solicited Debenture holders to exercise their option
of conversion of their Debentures into stock of the Company.  These conversions
will result in a positive impact to the Company's financial position.
