     INTERVEST CORPORATION OF NEW YORK (the "Company") is offering $11,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its Series 5/10/96 Registered Floating Rate
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures"). As more fully described
under "Description of Debentures," the Debentures will be issued in two
maturities: $1,000,000 due October 1, 1998 and $10,000,000 due April 1, 2005.
    

     Interest on the principal amount of Debentures maturing October 1, 1998
will accrue each calendar quarter at one percent over the prime rate of Chemical
Bank. Interest on the principal amount of Debentures maturing April 1, 2005,
will accrue each calendar quarter at two percent over the prime rate of Chemical
Bank. At the date of this Prospectus, the rate of interest on the Debentures
maturing October 1, 1998 is 9 1/4% and on the Debentures maturing April 1, 2005
is 10 1/4%.

     In addition, interest will accrue each calendar quarter on the balance of
the accrued interest as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter at the
prime rate of Chemical Bank. All accrued interest on the Debentures will be
payable at the maturity of the Debentures, whether by acceleration, redemption
or otherwise. Computations of interest are based on the prime rate of Chemical
Bank on the first day of the quarter for which interest is accruing. Interest on
principal, as well as interest on accrued interest is subject to a maximum
interest rate of 12%.

     Holders of Debentures maturing April 1, 2005 will either receive quarterly
interest checks or have their interest accrue and be paid at maturity, depending
upon THE ELECTION OF THE DEBENTURE HOLDER made at the time of purchase, provided
that such Debenture Holders may, at the option of the Company, receive checks
for the quarterly payment of interest for up to the first two quarters after
closing. Holders of Debentures maturing April 1, 2005 who have elected to have
their interest accrue may AT ANY TIME convert from the accrual of interest to
the quarterly payment of interest and, at such time, receive payment of all of
the accrued interest.

     The Debentures are redeemable by the Company at any time, in whole or in
part, at the redemption prices set forth herein. See "Description of Debentures
- --Redemption." There is currently no existing market for the Debentures and it
is not likely that such a market will develop. See "Risk Factors--Absence of
Public Market."

     The Debentures will be subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness (as
defined). The Indenture (as defined), pursuant to which the Debentures will be
issued, does not limit or restrict the amount of Senior Indebtedness to which
the Debentures may be subordinated. At December 31, 1995, there was
approximately $1,218,000 of outstanding Senior Indebtedness. See "Description of
Debentures--Subordination."

otherwise. Computations of interest are based on the prime rate on the first day
of the quarter for which interest is accruing, with a maximum interest rate of
twelve percent (12%). Debenture Holders may, at the election of the Company,
receive interest payments for the first two quarters after the closing. Holders
of Debentures maturing April 1, 2005 may elect, at any time, to convert from the
accrual of interest to the quarterly payment of interest and, at such time,
receive payment of all accrued interest. The Debentures will be unsecured
obligations of the Company, and will be subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had Senior Indebtedness of approximately
$1,218,000. There is no limitation on the amount of Senior Indebtedness which

<PAGE>


                                  RISK FACTORS

     The Purchase of the Debentures involves certain risk factors, including the
following:

     Proceeds Not Committed to Specific Investments. None of the net proceeds of
the offering have yet been committed to specific investments by the Company.
Rather, the Company intends to use the proceeds to acquire mortgage interests in
conformity with its mortgage investment policies and its past practices. In
addition, the Company may acquire other interests in real properties in
accordance with its real estate investment policies. All determinations
concerning the use and investment of the proceeds will be made by management of
the Company. The specific characteristics of any such investments are presently
unknown and there is a greater degree of uncertainty concerning the return on
any such investments than would be the case if specific investments were
identified. The Holders of Debentures will not have the opportunity to evaluate
any mortgages or other real property interests that may be acquired with the
proceeds. See "Use of Proceeds."

     Risks of Junior Mortgages and Wraparound Mortgages. The mortgages owned by
the Company, which currently generate its income, are junior mortgages, first
mortgages, and a wraparound mortgage. Substantially, all of the mortgages owned
by the Company are non-recourse and the wraparound mortgage is subordinate to
the lien of a senior underlying mortgage. If the owner of a mortgaged property
fails to make a payment due on a senior mortgage where the Company is the owner
of the junior mortgage, the holder of the senior mortgage may commence
foreclosure proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Company will have
funds available to cure a default on the senior mortgage in order to prevent
foreclosure on such senior mortgage. In the event of a foreclosure on the senior
mortgage, the Company as the owner of the junior mortgage will only be entitled
to share in the proceeds after satisfaction of the amounts due to senior
lienholders. The proceeds realized on such foreclosure may be insufficient to
pay all sums due on the senior mortgage, other senior liens and on the mortgage
held by the Company. It is also possible that in some cases a "due-on-sale"
clause included in a senior mortgage, which accelerates the amount due under the
senior mortgage in case of the sale of the property, may be deemed to apply to
the sale of the property upon foreclosure by the Company of its junior mortgage,
and may accordingly increase the risks to the Company in the event of a default
by the borrower on its junior mortgages.

     One of the mortgages held by the Company is a "wraparound mortgage," under
which the outstanding principal balance of the wraparound mortgage includes the
outstanding principal balance of one mortgage owed to another party, with the
Company required to make any payments due on such senior underlying mortgage
from the payments received on the wraparound mortgage. Such mortgage may entail
a greater risk than if it were a first mortgage. If the owner of the mortgaged
property fails to make a payment on the wraparound mortgage owned by the Company
with the result that the Company in turn fails to make the corresponding payment
due on the senior underlying mortgage, the holder of the senior underlying

                                       6

<PAGE>

mortgage may commence foreclosure proceedings. In such event, if the proceeds
realized on such foreclosure are insufficient to pay all sums due on the senior
underlying mortgage and on the mortgage held by the Company, the Company could
lose part or all of its investment. See "History and Business-Present Business"
and "History and Business-Certain Characteristics of the Company's Mortgage
Investments."

     Risks of Non-Recourse Mortgages. Substantially all of the mortgages owned
by the Company (and those it expects to acquire in the future) are non-recourse.
Under the terms of non-recourse mortgages, the owner of the property subject to
the mortgage has no personal obligation to pay the mortgage note which the
mortgage secures. Thus, on default, the Company's ability to recover its
investment is dependent solely upon the value of the property which it sells in
foreclosure of its mortgage and the amount of prior mortgages and liens which
must be paid from the net proceeds. See "History and Business - Certain
Characteristics of the Company's Mortgage Investments."

     Conflicts of Interest. Four of the mortgages presently owned by the Company
are liens on real estate owned by affiliates of the Company. In the case of the
wraparound mortgage, no underlying senior mortgage is held by an affiliate of
the Company. There are conflicts of interest inherent in all dealings between
the Company and such affiliates. These conflicts could include, among other
things, the acquisition by the Company of mortgages or other interests in real
property from affiliates of the Company; the retention of affiliates to perform
services, including real estate management services and mortgage servicing, for
the Company; and the pursuit of remedies that might be necessitated by a default
in any mortgage securing real property owned by an affiliate of the Company.
These conflicts will not be resolved by arm's-length bargaining. Matters
involving such a conflict of interest will be approved or ratified by a majority
vote of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the "independent"
directors of the Company (i.e. those directors who are neither officers nor
employees of the Company) in attendance at any meeting considering such matters.
No assurance can be given that they will be resolved in the manner most
favorable to Debenture holders, or that the Company will pursue any rights or
remedies which it may have against such affiliate. See "History and Business."

     Subordination of Debentures. The Debentures will be unsecured obligations
of the Company, and will be subordinated to all Indebtedness of the Company
which (i) is secured, in whole or in part, by any asset or assets owned by the
Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) arises from unsecured borrowings by the Company
from commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, insurance
companies, companies whose securities are traded in a national securities
market, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing, or (iii) arises
from unsecured borrowings by the Company from any pension plan (as defined in
Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended), or (iv) arises from borrowings by the Company which are evidenced by
commercial paper, or (v) is the Company's Series 1989 Registered Floating Rate
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, (the "Senior Debentures"), and any other
Indebtedness which is permitted to be

                                       7

<PAGE>

issued pari passu with the Senior Debentures or (vi) is a guarantee or
other liability of the Company of or with respect to Indebtedness of a
Subsidiary of the type described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had Senior Indebtedness of approximately
$1,218,000, including $1,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior
Debentures. There is no limitation or restriction in the Debentures or the
Indenture on the creation of Senior Indebtedness by the Company or on the amount
of such Senior Indebtedness to which the Debentures may be subordinated. There
is also no limitation on the creation of or the amount of Indebtedness which is
pari passu with (i.e. having no priority of payment over and not subordinated in
right of payment to) the Debentures ("Pari Passu Indebtedness"). As of December
31, 1995, the Company had $63,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Pari Passu
Indebtedness. Accordingly, upon any distribution of assets of the Company in
connection with any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of
the Company, the holders of all Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to
receive payment in full of the principal and premium, if any, thereof and any
interest due thereon, before the holders of the Debentures are entitled to
receive any payment upon the principal of or interest on the Debentures, and
thereafter payments to Debenture holders will be pro rata with payments to
holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness. See "Description of
Debentures-Subordination."

     Best Efforts Offering. No commitment exists on the part of the Underwriter
to purchase all or any part of the Debentures offered hereby and, therefore, no
assurance can be given that any such Debentures will be sold. If at least
$5,000,000 of Debentures are not sold by the Offering Termination Date, all
subscription funds will be refunded to subscribers, with interest in proportion
to the amount paid and without regard to the date paid. See "Plan of Offering."

     Absence of Public Market. Investors should be aware that there is no
existing market for the Debentures and it is not likely that such a market will
develop. No broker-dealer presently expects to make a market in the Debentures.
Accordingly, it may be difficult to resell the Debentures.

     No Sinking Fund. There is no sinking fund for retirement of the Debentures
at or prior to their maturity. The Company anticipates that it will redeem the
Debentures at maturity, at par, from the Company's working capital, or from the
proceeds of a refinancing of the Debentures, but no assurance can be given that
the Company will have sufficient available funds to make such redemption.

   
     Concentration Risks. A substantial portion of the Company's assets are
invested in mortgages secured by multi-family apartment buildings located in the
City of New York. Many of the properties, moreover, are subject to rent control
and rent stabilization laws imposed in the City of New York. The Company
anticipates that a substantial portion of the real property interests that the
Company may acquire with the proceeds of this offering are also likely to be
geographically located in the New York metropolitan area. Any resulting lack of
diversity in the number, type or location of investments made by the Company may
increase the risk of loss to the Company. See "History and Business" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis--Results of Operations."
    

                                       8

     Percentage of Funds Invested in Mortgages. The success of the Company, in
large part, depends on its ability to keep its assets continuously invested in
mortgages and, to a lesser extent, real property. The Company may be unable to
keep the optimum percentage of its assets so invested, which may result in lower
rates of return from the investment of its assets in other investments. See
"History and Business."

     Risk of Balloon Payments. Certain mortgage loans owned by the Company have
balloon payments due at the time of their maturity. The Company may purchase
additional mortgage loans that have balloon payments due at the time of their
maturity. Volatile interest rates and/or erratic credit conditions and supply of
mortgage funds at that time may cause refinancing by the borrowers to be
difficult or impossible, regardless of the market value of the collateral at the
time such balloon payments are due. See "General Risks of Financing on Real
Estate."

     Competition. In connection with the making of investments, the Company may
experience significant competition from banks, insurance companies, savings and
loan associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds, real estate investment
trusts, limited partnerships and other lenders and investors engaged in
purchasing mortgages or making real property investments with investment
objectives similar in whole or in part to those of the Company including
competition with certain related entities. An increase in the general
availability of funds may increase competition in the making of investments in
mortgages and real property and may reduce the yields available therefrom.

     Reliance on Management. All decisions with respect to the management of the
Company will be made exclusively by the officers and directors of the Company.
Holders of the Debentures have no right or power to take part in the management
of the Company. Accordingly, no person should purchase Debentures unless he is
willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to the officers
and directors of the Company. Prospective investors will, therefore, be entirely
reliant on the officers and directors of the Company and will not be able to
evaluate for themselves the merits of proposed mortgage or other real estate
investments. Certain of the executive officers of the Company, moreover,
presently serve without compensation from the Company. Should the services of
any such officers be lost, the Company might be required to devote a portion of
its income to salary expense. See "Management."

     General Risks of Financing on Real Estate. All mortgage loans are subject
to some degree of risk, including the risk of a default by the borrower on the
mortgage loans and the added responsibility on the part of the Company of
operating the property and/or foreclosing in order to protect its investment.
The borrower's ability to make payments due under a mortgage loan and the amount
the Company may realize after a default will be dependent upon the risks
generally associated with real estate investments, which are beyond the control
of the Company, including general or local economic conditions, neighborhood
values, interest rates, real estate tax rates, other operating expenses, the
supply of and demand for properties of the type involved, the inability of the

                                       9


<PAGE>

borrower to obtain or maintain full occupancy of the property, zoning laws, rent
control laws, other governmental rules and fiscal policies and acts of God.

     Default by Mortgagor and Foreclosure. In the event of a default on a
mortgage loan which requires the Company to foreclose upon the property or
otherwise pursue its remedies in order to protect its investment, the Company
may seek to obtain a purchaser for the property upon such terms as it deems
reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that the amount realized upon any
such sale of the underlying property will result in financial profit or prevent
loss to the Company.

     Risks of Floating Rate Debt. Interest on the Debentures to be issued by the
Company is calculated at a floating rate. A portion of the mortgages held by the
Company pay interest at fixed rates. To the extent that rising interest rates
result in higher interest payments on the Debentures by the Company, the Company
will have to devote a higher percentage of the fixed interest payments it
receives to meet the interest payments due on the Debentures and may not have
sufficient funds to acquire additional mortgages or to repay its Debentures. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation-Impact of Inflation."

     Risks of Ownership of Real Property. The Company may also be subject to the
risks inherent in the ownership of interests in any commercial, industrial,
retail or residential properties which it acquires directly or in a foreclosure
process, including, without limitation, fluctuations in occupancy rates and
operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, the character of the tenancy
and the possible effect on the cash flow from a property if its tenants incur
financial difficulties. Such events may, in turn, be adversely affected by
general and local economic conditions, the supply of and demand for properties
of the type in which the Company invests, zoning laws, federal and local rent
controls, federal and local environmental protection laws, including, without
limitation, laws relating to the use and maintenance of asbestos, other laws and
regulations and real property tax rates. Certain expenditures associated with
real estate equity investments (principally real estate taxes and maintenance
costs) are not necessarily decreased by events adversely affecting the Company's
income from such investments. Thus, the cost of operating a real property may
exceed the rental income earned thereon, and the Company may have to advance
funds in order to protect its investment or may be required to dispose of the
real property at a loss. The Company's ability to meet its debt and other
obligations will depend in part on these factors, and for these and other
reasons, no assurance of profitable operation of a real property can be made.

     Impact of Prevailing Economic Conditions. The real estate industry in
general and the kinds of investments which will be made by the Company in
particular may be affected by prevailing interest rates, the availability of
funds and the generally prevailing economic environment. During the past few
years, there have been wide fluctuations in money market conditions and interest
rates charged on loans, including real estate loans. The direction of future
interest rates and the willingness of financial institutions

                                       10

<PAGE>

to make funds available for real estate financing in the future is
difficult to predict. The real property and the properties underlying any
mortgages that may be acquired with the proceeds of this Offering, and the
properties underlying the Company's present mortgage loans will also be affected
by prevailing economic conditions and the same factors noted in "Risks of
Ownership of Real Property" above, which may affect the Company's ability to
collect rent and the borrower's ability to repay, respectively. The Company is
unable to predict what effect, if any, the prevailing economic conditions will
have on its ability to make mortgage loans or on the operations of the
properties subject to its investments or its own real property.

     Risk of Prepayment of Mortgages. While many of the Company's mortgage loans
include penalties for prepayment, fluctuating interest rates may give rise to
prepayments and there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to
reinvest the proceeds of such prepayments at the same or higher interest rates.
See "General Risks of Financing on Real Estate."

     Availability of Working Capital. To the extent that reserves maintained by
the Company are not sufficient to defray expenses and carrying costs which
exceed the income of the Company, it will be necessary to attempt to borrow such
amounts. In the event financing is not available on acceptable terms, the
Company may be forced to liquidate certain investments on terms which may not be
favorable to it.

     Hazardous Waste and Environmental Liens. Recent federal and state statutes
impose liability on property owners or operators for the clean-up or removal of
hazardous substances found on their property. Courts have extended this
liability to lenders who have obtained title to properties through foreclosure
or have become involved in managing properties prior to obtaining title.
Additionally, such statutes allow the government to place liens for such
liability against affected properties, which liens will be senior in priority to
other liens, including mortgages against the properties. Federal and state laws
in this area are constantly evolving. The Company intends to monitor such laws
and take commercially reasonable steps to protect itself from the impact
thereof; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be fully
protected from the impact of such laws.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     The net proceeds of the Offering, after payment of underwriting fees and
commissions, are estimated at $10,125,000 if the maximum amount ($11,000,000) of
the Debentures are sold, and are estimated at $4,550,000 if the minimum amount
($5,000,000) of the Debentures are sold. Such proceeds will be held in trust for
the benefit of the purchasers of Debentures, and only used for the purposes set
forth herein. After payment of other expenses of the Offering estimated at
$96,000, such net proceeds will become part of the working capital of the
Company and may be used to purchase mortgages or interests in real estate in
accordance with the mortgage and real estate investment policies of the Company
or otherwise used in the ordinary course of its business operations.

                                       11


<PAGE>

     Pending investment of the net proceeds as specified above, the Company
plans to invest such proceeds in highly liquid sources, such as interest-bearing
bank accounts, bank certificates of deposit or other short term money market
instruments. It is presently anticipated that such short term investments would
be for a period not in excess of six months, although such time could be
extended if appropriate mortgages or other interests in real estate are not
identified for reinvestment.

     It is presently anticipated that specified mortgage and/or real estate
investments will be identified over the course of approximately six months after
the completion of the Offering. Selected investments will meet the criteria and
characteristics embodied in the Company's present investment policies. See
"History of Business - Real Estate Investment Policies and Mortgage Investment
Policy". It is not anticipated that any single investment will be in an amount
which exceeds ten percent (10%) of the total assets of the Company or that more
than twenty percent (20%) of the net proceeds will be invested in a single
mortgage or real estate investment. In no event, will more than ten percent
(10%) of the proceeds be used to acquire interests in unimproved and/or
non-income-producing property.

         In the event that any real estate that may be acquired is subsequently
resold or refinanced, any proceeds received therefrom will become part of the
working capital of the Company and will be available for reinvestment. Any fees
or commissions paid, directly or indirectly, to the Company or its affiliates in
connection with any such resale or refinancing, will be on terms comparable with
those that would be paid to unaffiliated parties. See "Transactions with
Management."

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     The Company is engaged in the real estate business, including the
origination and purchase of real estate mortgage loans, consisting of first
mortgage, junior mortgage and wraparound mortgage loans. The Company's current
investment policy emphasizes the investment in mortgage loans on income
producing properties. The majority of the Company's loans are expected to mature
within approximately five years.

     The Company's liquidity is managed to ensure that sufficient funds are
available to meet maturities of borrowings or to make other investments, taking
into account anticipated cash flows and available sources of funds. The
Company's principal sources of funds have consisted of borrowings (principally
through the issuance of its subordinated debentures), mortgage repayments and
cash flow from ongoing operations. Total stockholders' equity at December 31,
1995 was $9,378,000. Debentures in the principal amount of $500,000 matured and
were paid on April 1, 1996. In addition, the Company will, on May 1, 1996,
retire Debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $5,200,000, which have
scheduled maturities in July of 1996 ($2,000,000 principal amount) and January
of 1997 ($3,200,000 principal amount). The Company has funds available for those
purposes. The Company considers its current liquidity and additional sources of
funds sufficient to satisfy its outstanding commitments and its maturing
liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     Year Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994

     Interest income for 1995 was $7,984,000 as compared to $6,368,000 for 1994.
The increase of $1,616,000 resulted mainly from a higher level of mortgages
receivable, together with an increase in interest rates in 1995. Mortgages
receivable were: $56,666,000 at December 31, 1994, $59,612,000 at March 31,
1995, $59,457,000 at June 30, 1995, $56,145,000 at September 30, 1995 and
$55,146,000 at December 31, 1995. Interest paid by the Company on its
debentures, as well as the interest earned on many of its mortgages, is keyed to
the prime rate, which varied from time to time during 1995, from 8 1/2% at
December 31, 1994 to a high of 9% and then returning to 8 1/2% at December 31,
1995.

     Interest expense for the 1995 period was $6,227,000 as compared to
$4,591,000 for the 1994 period. The increase of $1,636,000 resulted mainly from
an increase in long term obligations and an increase in interest rates in 1995.

     General and administrative expenses for 1995 was $657,000 as compared to
$483,000 for 1994. The increase of $174,000 resulted mainly from an increase in
payroll and the payment of office rental expenses.

     The provision for income taxes decreased from $403,000 in 1994 to $324,000
in 1995. These provisions represent 43% and 42% of pretax income for each
period.

                                       14

<PAGE>

     Year Ended December 31, 1994 and 1993

     Interest income for 1994 was $6,368,000 as compared to $4,337,000 for 1993.
The increase of $2,031,000 resulted mainly from an increase in mortgages
receivable, together with an increase in interest rates in 1994. Mortgages
receivable were: $41,521,000 at December 31, 1993; $47,552,000 at March 31,
1994; $51,108,000 at June 30, 1994; $53,221,000 at September 30, 1994; and
$56,666,000 at December 31, 1994. Interest paid by the Company on its
debentures, as well as the interest earned on many of its mortgages, is keyed to
the prime rate, which increased from time to time during 1994, from 6% at
December 31, 1993 to 8 1/2% at December 31, 1994.

     Interest expense for 1994 was $4,591,000 as compared to $3,415,000 for
1993. The increase of $1,176,000 resulted mainly from an increase in long term
obligations from $45,239,000 at December 31, 1993 to $54,427,000 at December 31,
1994, and an increase in interest rates in 1994.

     General and administrative expense for 1994 was $483,000, as compared to
$188,000 for 1993. The increase of $295,000 resulted primarily from an increase
in the service fee charged from 1/4% to 1/2% of the face value of the Company's
mortgages receivable, as well as an increase in the size of the mortgage
portfolio.

     The provisions for income taxes decreased from $480,000 in 1993 to $403,000
in 1994. These provisions represent 47% and 43% of pretax income for each
period.

     Since the Company intends to continue to expand its asset base, including
its mortgage portfolio, it is anticipated that its interest income will continue
to grow. To the extent that such growth is funded in reliance upon long-term
obligations, such as the Debentures, interest expense will likewise increase.
The size of any such increase will, of course, depend upon the principal amounts
of the additional assets or liabilities, as well as interest rates.

     Since the Company is engaged in the real estate business, its results of
operations are affected by general economic trends in real estate markets, as
well as by trends in the general economy and the movement of interest rates.
Since the properties underlying the Company's mortgages are concentrated in the
New York City area, the economic condition in that area can also have an impact
on the Company's operations.

     The number of instances of prepayment of mortgage loans tends to increase
during periods of declining interest rates and tends to decrease during periods
of increasing interest rates. Certain of the Company's mortgages include
prepayment provisions, and others prohibit prepayment of indebtedness entirely.
In any event, the Company believes that it would be able to reinvest the
proceeds of any prepayments of mortgage loans in comparable mortgages so that
prepayments would not have any materially adverse effect on the Company's
business.

     The rental housing market in New York City remains stable and the Company
expects that such properties will continue to appreciate in value with little or
no reduction in occupancy rates. The Company's mortgage portfolio is composed
predominantly of mortgages on multifamily residential properties, most of which
are subject to applicable

                                       15

<PAGE>

rent control and rent stabilization statutes and regulations. In both
cases, any increases in rent are subject to specific limitations. As such,
properties of the nature of those constituting the most significant portion of
the Company's mortgage portfolio are not affected by the general movement of
real estate values in the same manner as other income-producing properties.

IMPACT OF INFLATION:

     The Company may lend at fixed interest rates that exceed the rates
applicable, from time to time, to the Debentures payable by the Company. Under
such circumstances inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
continuing operations. Should inflation result in rising interest rates, the
Company would have to devote a higher percentage of the interest payments it
receives from its fixed rate mortgages to meet the interest payments due on the
Debentures. The extent to which the Company may be required to allocate the
interest payments it receives to the payment of the interest due on the
Debentures as a result of increasing interest rates is limited because the
interest payable on both principal and accrued interest on the Debentures may
not exceed a certain maximum percent per annum. Should the Company be required
to pay the maximum interest payable on the Debentures, the Company may be
required to use its working capital for purposes of interest payments.

     The Company's mortgages are generally acquired or originated for investment
and not for resale in the secondary market, and it is, in general, the Company's
intention to hold such mortgages to maturity. The Company's mortgage loans
generally do not meet the criteria set forth by relevant federal agencies, and
as a result are not readily marketable in the secondary market.

BUSINESS:

     The Company is engaged in the real estate business and has historically
invested primarily in real estate mortgage loans secured by income producing
real property. It is anticipated that a substantial portion of the loans to be
made by the Company will be loans with terms of up to approximately five years.
Such transactions typically require an understanding of the underlying real
estate transaction and rapid processing and funding as a principal basis for
competing in the making of these loans. The Company does not finance new
construction.

     At December 31, 1995, 79% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Company's loans (net of discounts) were secured by properties located in the
greater New York metropolitan area. The balance of the Company's loans are
secured by properties located in Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia and upstate New
York.

     Certain of the Company's real estate mortgage loans bear interest at a
fixed rate. The balance of such loans bear interest at fluctuating rates. As of
December 31, 1995, approximately 25% of the Company's mortgage portfolio was
comprised of fixed rate mortgages. Interest on the loans is usually payable
monthly.

     At December 31, 1995, the Company's portfolio consisted of 47 real estate
mortgage loans totaling $55,920,000 in the aggregate face principal amount
($55,146,000 in carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, the difference
representing unearned discounts). Of the

                                       16


<PAGE>

principal amount of real estate loans outstanding at December 31, 1995, 1%
represent wraparound mortgage loans, 87% represent first mortgage loans and 12%
represent junior mortgage loans.

     The Company may also, from time to time, acquire interests in real
property, including fee interests.

INVESTMENT POLICY-OPERATIONS:

     The Company's current investment policy related to mortgages emphasizes
investments in short-term real estate mortgages secured by income producing real
property, located primarily in the greater New York metropolitan area.

     The properties to be mortgaged are personally inspected by management and
mortgage loans are made only on those properties where management is
knowledgeable as to operating income and expense. The Company generally relies
upon its management in connection with the valuation of properties. From time to
time, however, it may engage independent appraisers and other agents to assist
in determining the value of income-producing properties underlying mortgages, in
which case the costs associated with such services are generally paid by the
mortgagor.

     The Company's current investment policy related to real estate acquisitions
emphasizes investments in income-producing properties located primarily in the
New York metropolitan area.

CURRENT LOAN STATUS:

     At December 31, 1995, the Company had 47 real estate mortgage loans in its
portfolio, totaling $55,920,000 (face amount) in aggregate principal amount.
Interest rates on the mortgage portfolio range between 6% and 16% per annum.
Certain mortgages have been discounted utilizing rates between 12% and 18% per
annum.

     Certain information concerning the Company's mortgage loans outstanding at
December 31, 1995 is set forth below:

                              HISTORY AND BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

     Intervest Corporation of New York (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of New York in April, 1987. The Company was founded and
organized by Lowell S. Dansker, Lawrence G. Bergman and Helene D. Bergman (see
"Transactions with Management"), and is privately held. The principal offices of
the Company are located at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 1015, New York, New York
10020-1903, and its telephone number is 212-757-7300. The Company presently owns
mortgages on real estate, and intends to acquire and originate additional
mortgages on real estate. The proceeds of this offering will be used to acquire
or originate additional mortgages on real estate, to acquire and retain
interests in real property, or to otherwise be used in the course of its
business operations. The Company may in the future engage in any aspect of the
real estate and mortgage finance business.

     The Company also has two wholly-owned subsidiaries. See "History and
Business-Subsidiaries."

PRESENT BUSINESS

     The Company owns a portfolio of mortgages on improved real property. The
aggregate outstanding principal balance at December 31, 1995 due on such
mortgages is approximately $55,920,000 ($55,146,000 after adjusting for a
discount of $774,000), but since one of the mortgages is a "wraparound
mortgage," the Company's net equity (mortgages receivable less mortgages
payable) in its portfolio of mortgages is approximately $55,128,000. Under a
wraparound mortgage, the principal amount of and debt service on one or more
senior mortgages is included within the principal amount of and debt service on
the wraparound mortgage. The holder of the wraparound mortgage is required to
pay the obligations due under such senior mortgages from the payments which it
receives on the wraparound mortgage.

     For financial statement reporting purposes, all mortgages contributed or
sold to the Company by affiliates have been recorded at the historical cost of
the affiliate. The historical cost of the mortgage loans which originated in
connection with the sale of real estate includes a discount to reflect an
appropriate market interest rate at the date of origination.

     Five mortgages owned by the Company are senior mortgages on net leased,
free standing commercial properties, thirty-five are senior mortgages on
multifamily residential apartment buildings, six are junior mortgages on
multifamily residential apartment buildings, and one mortgage is a wraparound
mortgage on a multifamily residential apartment building. Five of the properties
are commercial properties which are located in various states, and

                                       20

<PAGE>


each is leased by the respective owner to a single commercial tenant under a
long term net lease.

     Thirty-four of the residential properties are located in New York City,
four are located in suburbs of New York City and four are located in the State
of New Jersey. Three of the residential properties are owned by cooperative
corporations (a form of owner-occupied apartment ownership in New York City).
Two of the mortgages on such properties are first mortgages and one is a
wraparound mortgage. Thirty-nine of the residential properties are rental
properties, nine of which have commercial space (stores) on the ground floor.
Thirty-three of the Company's mortgages on these properties are first mortgages,
and six are junior mortgages.

     The wraparound mortgage owned by the Company, has an outstanding principal
balance of $329,000 at December 31, 1995, which principal amount includes the
outstanding principal balance under the senior mortgage of $18,000. The maturity
date of the wraparound mortgage is November 1, 1996; the monthly payment is
$3,200, including interest at 9% per annum. The maturity date of the senior
mortgage has passed and the Company continues to make regular payments of
principal and interest. The monthly payment of principal and interest due on the
senior mortgage is $1,800, including interest at 8.5% per annum. The equity in
the wraparound mortgage at December 31, 1995 was $311,000.

   
     Table 1 below presents, as of December 31, 1995, certain information
regarding each of the Company's mortgages. As of the date of this prospectus,
none of the Mortgages listed in Table 1 were delinquent as to payment of
principal or interest. Those mortgages marked with an asterisk are on properties
owned by affiliates of the Company.
    

     The five mortgages listed as items 1 through 5 in Table 1 are liens on net
leased, free standing commercial properties. Each is leased by the respective
owner to a single commercial tenant under a long term net lease.

     The forty-two mortgages listed as items 6 through 47 in Table 1 are liens
on multifamily residential apartment buildings. The properties listed as items
6, 7 and 8 are each owned by a cooperative corporation (a form of owner-occupied
apartment ownership in New York City). The other thirty-nine properties are
rental properties, nine of which (items 16, 21, 25, 28, 29, 30, 32, 35 and 43)
have commercial space (stores) on the ground floor. Where there are underlying
mortgages on these properties (item 8), they are held by unaffiliated parties.

PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED FROM NET PROCEEDS OF OFFERING

     The Company plans to apply the net cash proceeds of the offering to the
acquisition of additional mortgages and/or interests in real estate. See "Use of
Proceeds."

FUTURE BUSINESS OPERATIONS

     The Company plans to continue to engage in the real estate business,
including the acquisition and origination of mortgages. Such mortgages may be
purchased from affiliates of the Company or from unaffiliated parties. It is
anticipated that such mortgages will be acquired or originated using the
proceeds of additional debenture offerings and/or internally generated funds.

     The Company intends to continue to originate new mortgages, to acquire
existing mortgages, and to acquire equity interests in real property. The
Company does not presently own any equity interests in real property nor has it
acquired any equity interest in real property since the date it commenced
business. However, the proceeds from this offering may be applied to such an
acquisition and the Company may purchase additional equity interests in real
property in the future or it may acquire such an equity interest pursuant to a
foreclosure upon a mortgage held by it.

     The Company's mortgage loans will include: (i) wraparound mortgage loans;
(ii) junior mortgage loans; and (iii) first mortgage loans.

     The Company's mortgage loans will generally be secured by income-producing
properties. In determining whether to make mortgage loans, the Company will
analyze relevant real property and financial factors which may in certain cases
include such factors as the condition and use of the subject property, its
income-producing capacity and the quality, experience and creditworthiness of
the owner of the property. The Company's mortgage loans will generally not be
personal obligations of the borrower and will not be insured or guaranteed by
governmental agencies or otherwise.

     The Company anticipates its mortgage loans will typically mature within
approximately five years. However, the Company may also invest in mortgage loans
with longer maturities or shorter maturities. The Company anticipates that
generally its mortgage loans will provide for balloon payments due at the time
of their maturity.

     With respect to the acquisition of equity interests in real estate, the
Company may acquire and retain title to properties or, may, directly or through
a subsidiary, retain an interest in a partnership formed to acquire and hold
title to real property.

                                       28

<PAGE>


     While no such transactions are presently pending, the Company would, in
appropriate circumstances, consider the expansion of its business through
investments in or acquisitions of other companies engaged in real estate or
mortgage business activities.

     The Company does not have any present intentions to issue senior
securities; to underwrite securities of other issuers; or to offer securities in
exchange for property. While no such transactions are currently contemplated,
the Company would, in appropriate circumstances and without the approval of the
Debenture Holders, consider the call or redemption of its outstanding debt
securities.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT POLICIES

     While the Company has not previously made acquisitions of real property or
managed income-producing property, its management has had substantial experience
in the acquisition and management of properties and, in particular, multifamily
residential properties. The three executive officers of the Company have been
actively involved in such activities for many years. (See "Management").

     Real property that may be acquired will be selected by management of the
Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted any formal
policies regarding the percentage of the Company's assets that may be invested
in any single property, or in any type of property, or regarding the geographic
location of properties that may be acquired. No vote of any securities holders
of the Company is necessary for any investment in real estate.

     The Company anticipates that any equity interests it may acquire will be in
income-producing properties, primarily multifamily residential properties
located in the New York metropolitan area. The acquisition of real estate may be
financed in reliance upon working capital, mortgage financing or a combination
of both. It is anticipated that properties selected for acquisition would have
potential for appreciation in value. While such properties would typically
generate cash flow from rentals, it is anticipated that income from properties
will generally be reinvested in capital improvements to the properties.

     While the Company would maintain close supervision over any properties that
it may own, independent managing agents may be engaged when deemed appropriate
by management. All such properties would, as a matter of policy, be covered by
property insurance in amounts deemed adequate in the opinion of management.

MORTGAGE INVESTMENT POLICY

     Future investments in mortgages will be selected by management of the
Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted any formal policy
regarding the percentage of the Company's

                                       29

<PAGE>


assets which may be invested in any single mortgage, or in any type of mortgage
investment, or regarding the geographic location of properties on which the
mortgages owned by the Company are liens. However, it is the present intention
of the management of the Company to maintain the diversification of the
portfolio of mortgages owned by the Company. No vote of any security holders of
the Company is necessary for any investment in a mortgage.

     The Company anticipates that it will acquire or originate senior and junior
mortgages, primarily on multifamily residential properties located in the New
York metropolitan area. The Company anticipates that the amount of each mortgage
it may acquire in the future will not exceed 85% of the fair market value of the
property securing such mortgage. Such mortgages generally will not be insured by
the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration
or otherwise guaranteed or insured in any way. The Company requires that all
mortgaged properties be covered by property insurance in amounts deemed adequate
in the opinion of management. The Company may in the future acquire or originate
mortgages which are liens on other types of properties, including commercial and
office properties, and may resell mortgages.

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS BY AFFILIATES ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

     An affiliate of the Company may make a mortgage loan or purchase a mortgage
in its own name and temporarily hold such investment for the purpose of
facilitating the making of an investment of the Company, provided that any such
investment is acquired by the Company at a cost no greater than the cost of such
investment to the affiliate plus carrying costs and provided there is no other
benefit to the affiliate arising out of such transaction from compensation
otherwise than as permitted by this Prospectus.

CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COMPANY'S MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS

     Mortgages typically provide for periodic payments of interest and, in some
cases, principal during the term of the mortgage, with the remaining principal
balance and any accrued interest due at the maturity date. The majority of the
mortgages owned by the Company provide for balloon payments at maturity, which
means that a substantial part or all of the original principal of the mortgage
is due in one lump sum payment at maturity. The property on which the mortgage
is a lien provides the security for the mortgage. If the net revenue from the
property is not sufficient to make all debt service payments due on mortgages on
the property, or if at maturity or the due date of any balloon payment the owner
of the property fails to raise the funds to make the payment (by refinancing,
sale or otherwise), the Company could sustain a loss on its investment in the
mortgage. To the extent that the aggregate net revenues from the Company's
mortgage investments are insufficient to provide funds equal to the payments due
under the

                                       30

<PAGE>


Company's debt obligations, including the Debentures, then the Company would be
required to utilize its working capital for such purposes or otherwise obtain
the necessary funds from outside sources. No assurance can be given that such
funds would be available to the Company. A failure to make any payments due to
the holders of Debentures would give rise to those remedies set out in the
Indenture. (See "Description of Debentures").

     With respect to any wraparound mortgages which may be originated by the
Company in the future, such wraparound mortgages are generally negotiated and
structured on an individual, case by case basis, and may be structured to
include any or all of the following provisions:

          (i) The Company may lend money to a real property owner who would be
     obligated to repay the senior underlying mortgage debt as well as the new
     wraparound indebtedness owed to the Company.

          (ii) The Company may legally assume the obligation to make the
     payments due on the senior underlying mortgage debt.

          (iii) The real property owner-debtor may agree to make payments to the
     Company in satisfaction of both the senior underlying mortgage debt and the
     new wraparound indebtedness owed to the Company.

          (iv) The Company may receive a mortgage on the real property to secure
     repayment of the total amount of indebtedness (wraparound indebtedness and
     the senior underlying mortgage indebtedness).

     The mortgages owned by the Company that are junior mortgages are
subordinate in right of payment to senior mortgages on the various properties.
The Company generally relies upon its management in connection with the
valuation of properties. From time to time, however, it may engage independent
appraisers and other agents to assist in determining the value of
income-producing properties underlying mortgages. In all cases, in the opinion
of management, the current value of the underlying property collateralizing the
mortgage loan is in excess of the stated amount of the mortgage loan. Therefore,
in the opinion of management of the Company, each property on which a mortgage
owned by the Company is a lien constitutes adequate collateral for the related
mortgage loan. Accordingly, in the event the owner of a property fails to make
required debt service payments, management believes that, based upon current
value, upon a foreclosure of the mortgage and sale of the property, the Company
would recover its entire investment. However, there can be no assurance that the
current value of the underlying property will be maintained.

                                       31

LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

     For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers a loan as
delinquent or non-performing when it is contractually past due 90 days or more
as to principal or interest payments. To date, the Company has not experienced
any defaults or delinquencies in its mortgage portfolio. The Company evaluates
its portfolio of mortgage loans on an individual basis, comparing the amount at
which the investment is carried to its estimated net realizable value. Since the
Company has not experienced any defaults or delinquencies, no allowance for loan
losses is presently maintained.

TAX ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED ON MORTGAGES

     The Company derives substantially all of its cash flow from debt service
payments which it receives on mortgages owned by it. The tax accounting
treatment of such debt service payments, as income or return of capital, depends
on the particular mortgage. In the case of mortgages which pay interest only,
the entire debt service payment prior to maturity received by the Company is
treated as income and the repayment of principal is generally considered a
return of capital. In the case of mortgages which include amortization of
principal in the debt service payment received by the Company, the amount
representing amortization of principal is generally treated as a return of
capital for tax accounting purposes. However, the Company will report $199,000
of additional taxable income upon the collection of $875,000 of principal
applicable to five mortgages due to deferrals of taxable income in connection
with prior real estate transactions.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED ON MORTGAGES

     For financial reporting purposes, the Company's basis in mortgages
originated in connection with real estate sale transactions is less than the
face amount outstanding. This difference is attributable to discounts recorded
by the Company to reflect a market rate of interest at the date the loans were
originated. These discounts will be amortized over the lives of the mortgages.

EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Investment in mortgages on real properties presently may be impacted by
government regulation in several ways. Residential properties may be subject to
rent control and rent stabilization laws. As a consequence, the owner of the
property may be restricted in its ability to raise the rents on apartments. If
real estate taxes, fuel costs and maintenance of and repairs to the property
were to increase substantially, and such increases are not offset by increases
in rental income, the ability of the owner of

                                       32

<PAGE>


the property to make the payments due on the mortgage as and when they are due
might be adversely affected.

     Laws and regulations relating to asbestos have been adopted in many
jurisdictions, including New York City, which require that whenever any work is
undertaken in a property in an area in which asbestos is present, the asbestos
must be removed or encapsulated in accordance with such applicable local and
federal laws and regulations. The cost of asbestos removal or encapsulation may
be substantial, and if there were not sufficient cash flow from the property,
after debt service on mortgages, to fund the required work, and the owner of the
property fails to fund such work from other sources, the value of the property
could be adversely affected, with consequent impairment of the security for the
mortgage.

     Laws regulating the storage, disposal and clean up of hazardous or toxic
substances at real property have been adopted at the federal, state and local
levels. Such laws may impose a lien on the real property superior to any
mortgages on the property. In the event such a lien were imposed on any property
which serves as security for a mortgage owned by the Company, the security for
such mortgage could be impaired.

INDEMNIFICATION

     Pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, the Company is obligated to
indemnify officers and directors of the Company against judgments, fines,
amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and necessarily incurred by such officers or directors as a result of
any action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, to the extent such
indemnification is permitted under the laws of the State of New York (in which
the Company is incorporated). Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has
been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

LITIGATION

     The Company is not engaged in any litigation, nor does it presently know of
any threatened or pending litigation in which it is contemplated that the
Company will be made a party.

SUBSIDIARIES

     The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intervest Distribution
Corporation is a servicing agent for distributions to

                                       33

valuation of such properties.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     Prior to July 1, 1995, no compensation was paid to or accrued by the
Company for any executive officer or director of the Company (other than fees
paid to directors for attending Board meetings). Each of the directors receives
a fee of $250 for each meeting of the Board of Directors he attends. Effective
as of July 1, 1995, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Jerome Dansker, its Executive Vice President. The agreement is for a term of ten
years and provides for the payment of an annual salary in the amount of
$125,000, which is subject to increase annually by six percent or by the
percentage increase in the consumer price index, if higher. The agreement also
provides for monthly expense account payments, the use of a car and medical
benefits. In the event of Mr. Dansker's death or disability, monthly payments of
one-half of the amount which otherwise would have been paid to Mr. Dansker will
continue until the greater of (i) the balance of the term of employment, and
(ii) three years.

                          TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

     The Company has in the past and may in the future acquire mortgages from
affiliated parties, including Capital Holding Company and New York Properties
Trust. The three shareholders of the Company, together with Mr. Jerome Dansker,
are the sole partners of Capital Holding Company. Mr. Bergman and Mr. Lowell
Dansker are the sole trustees of New York Properties Trust and were the trustees
of Central Properties Trust, which ceased doing business in 1995. City
Properties Company was a sole proprietorship owned by Jerome Dansker. Because of
such affiliations, management of the Company may have a conflict of interest in
establishing a fair price for the purchase of the mortgages representing liens
on properties owned by affiliates.

                                       36

<PAGE>


Nevertheless, in the opinion of management of the Company, the purchase prices
for such mortgages have been and will be at least as favorable to the Company as
if the respective properties were owned by unaffiliated third parties.

     In addition, affiliates of the Company may enter into other transactions
with or render services for the benefit of the Company. For example an affiliate
of the Company provides mortgage servicing to the Company and a subsidiary of
the Company acts as servicing agent for distributions to investors and performs
distribution and record-keeping functions for the Company. Any future
transactions between the Company and any of its affiliates will be entered into
on terms at least as favorable as could be obtained from unaffiliated
independent third parties and will be subject to approval or ratification by a
majority of independent directors considering the transaction. To the extent
that the Company may, from time to time, make loans to its shareholders or other
affiliates, such loans will be: evidenced by notes; at interest rates comparable
to that charged by other lenders; repaid pursuant to amortization schedules
comparable to those used by other lenders for similar loans; made only if the
borrower is a satisfactory credit risk; and will be monitored in the same manner
as would be used by other lenders.

     During 1993, Capital Holding Company, Central Properties Trust, City
Properties Company and New York Properties Trust sold to third parties eight
properties subject to mortgages held by the Company. In connection with those
sales, the Company purchased two junior mortgages from an unaffiliated party in
the aggregate principal amount of $350,000, each at a purchase price equal to
its then outstanding principal balance, and, the Company's mortgages were
refinanced and the Company acquired first mortgages totaling $11,675,000.

     During 1993, the Company made mortgage loans in the amount of $550,000 on
properties owned by Capital Holding Company.

     In May of 1993, the Company loaned a total of $3,500,000 to the
shareholders of the Company. The proceeds of the loan were contributed by the
shareholders to the capital of Intervest Bancshares Corporation, which
corporation acquired approximately 95% of the shares of capital stock of
Intervest Bank, a Florida state-chartered banking corporation. The shareholders
have repaid the loan in full.

     During 1994, New York Investment Company and Central Properties Trust sold
to third parties two properties subject to mortgages held by the Company. In
connection with those sales, the Company purchased a junior mortgage from an
unaffiliated party in the amount of $100,000, at a purchase price equal to its
then outstanding principal balance, and, the Company's mortgages were

                                       37

<PAGE>


refinanced and the Company acquired first mortgages totaling $5,610,000.

     During 1994, the Company made mortgage loans in the amount of $2,400,000 on
properties owned by Capital Holding Company.

     During 1995, Capital Holding Company, Central Properties Trust and New York
Properties Trust sold to third parties eight properties subject to mortgages
held by the Company. In connection with those sales the Company's mortgages were
refinanced and the Company acquired first mortgages totaling $9,670,000.

     An annual mortgage servicing fee, based on the face value of its mortgages
receivable, is paid by the Company to Capital Holding Company, an affiliate of
the Company. The services provided to the Company by Capital Holding Company in
return for such mortgage servicing fee include (i) the collection of mortgages
receivable, (ii) the payment of mortgages payable, (iii) the payment of property
taxes for the mortgaged premises after receipt of such tax payments from
mortgagors and (iv) the payment of property insurance premiums for the mortgaged
properties after receipt of such insurance payments from mortgagors. For the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the mortgage servicing fees
paid by the Company to Capital Holding Company were $99,000, $354,000 and
$342,000 respectively. The fee is agreed to between Capital Holding Company and
the Company and is at a level deemed reasonable by the Company.

     William F. Holly, who is a director of the Company, also serves as Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Sage, Rutty & Co., Inc., which firm
will act as Underwriter in connection with the offering and which firm has acted
as an underwriter in connection with the Company's prior offerings of
debentures.

                            DESCRIPTION OF DEBENTURES

   
     The Company will issue the Debentures under an Indenture to be dated as of
June 1, 1996 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of
New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286 (the "Trustee"). In the
summary which follows, parenthetical references to Articles and Sections are
references to the corresponding Articles and Sections in the Indenture, and
parenthetical references to paragraphs are references to the corresponding
paragraphs in the form of Debenture included in the Indenture. The terms and
provisions of the Debentures are stated in the Indenture. Such terms and
provisions also include certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(as in effect on the date of the Indenture) which are incorporated by reference
into the Indenture. Debenture Holders are referred to the Indenture and the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for a more complete statement of such terms and
provisions. The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does
not purport to be complete, and where particular provisions of the Indenture are
referred to, such particular provisions are incorporated herein by reference,
and such summary is qualified in its entirety by such incorporated provisions.
The form of the Indenture is on file as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

     The Debentures will be issued in two maturities as follows: $1,000,000 of
Series 5/10/96 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures due
October 1, 1998; and $10,000,000 of Series 5/10/96 Registered Floating Rate
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures due April 1, 2005. All of the Debentures will
be issued in fully registered form without coupons. The Debentures will be
issued only in denominations of $10,000 and multiples thereof, and with a
minimum purchase of $10,000.
    

     Interest on the Debentures will accrue during each quarter until maturity,
and, except as described below, there will be no periodic payments of interest.
Interest will accrue quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of
each year (each an "Accrual Date"). Interest on the principal amount of
Debentures maturing October 1, 1998 will accrue during each quarter at one
percentage point over the prime rate of Chemical Bank on the first day of the
calendar quarter for which interest is accruing, with a maximum interest rate of
12%. Interest on the principal amount of the Debentures maturing April 1, 2005,
will accrue each quarter at two percentage points over the prime rate of
Chemical Bank on the first day of the calendar quarter for which interest is
accruing, with a maximum interest rate of 12%. The current rate of interest on
the Debentures maturing October 1, 1998 is 9.25% and on the Debentures maturing
April 1, 2005 is 10.25%. In addition, interest will accrue each quarter on the
balance of the interest accrued as of and including the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter at the prime rate of Chemical Bank with a
maximum interest rate of 12%. All accrued interest on the Debentures will be

                                       40

<PAGE>


payable at the maturity of the Debentures, whether by acceleration, redemption
or otherwise.

     At the time of the initial subscription for the Debentures or at any time
after issuance, the Holder of any Debenture due April 1, 2005 may elect to
receive quarterly payments of interest through the maturity of such Debentures,
provided, however, that all Debentures subscribed for after the fifteenth day of
the second month of the calendar quarter following the First Closing (as
defined), shall provide for the quarterly payment of interest. Each quarterly
interest payment would be equal to the amount of interest accrued on the
principal amount of such Debenture during the quarter prior to payment as set
forth above.

     Once the Company has received orders for at least $5,000,000 of Debentures,
the Company may close as to those Debentures (the "First Closing"). With respect
to Debentures sold at the First Closing, interest on the Debentures for the
initial period will accrue from the fifth day preceding the First Closing. With
respect to Debentures sold after the First Closing, interest for the initial
period will accrue from the first day of the month of sale, if the Debenture is
sold on or before the fifteenth day of the month, and will accrue from the
sixteenth day of the month, if the Debenture is sold after the fifteenth day of
the month. The first payment of interest on any Debenture will be due on the
first day of the next calendar quarter, if the Debenture is sold on or before
the fifteenth day of the second month of the quarter, or the first day of the
second calendar quarter, if sold thereafter. Debentures sold after the First
Closing will be deemed sold on the date the Company (or the Underwriter on its
behalf) receives payment therefor. The accrual of interest during any quarter
will be computed based on the Prime Rate (as defined) in effect on the first day
of the quarter for which it is accruing, provided, however, that the interest
accruing prior to the next full quarter following the date of sale of any
Debenture shall accrue based upon the Prime Rate in effect on the first day of
the quarter preceding the date of interest payment. The "Prime Rate" shall mean
the interest rate that Chemical Bank publicly announces as its prime rate from
time to time at its principal office. In the event that Chemical Bank ceases to
designate any interest rate as its prime rate, there shall be substituted the
most nearly comparable interest rate for short term borrowings by corporate
borrowers which is publicly announced by such bank from time to time at its
principal office. (Par. 1). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.

     The Company will pay interest on the Debentures to the persons who are
registered holders of the Debentures ("Debenture Holder"). A determination of
the registered holders of the Debentures will be made at the close of business
on the tenth day of the second month of the calendar quarter preceding the
applicable interest payment date. (Par. 2). Principal and interest may be paid
by check.

                                       41

<PAGE>


Payments of interest made by check may be mailed to a Debenture Holder at the
address shown on the records of the Company for such holder. Upon maturity of
the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption, Debenture Holders must surrender the
Debentures to any paying agent appointed by the Company (including itself), to
collect principal payments and payments of accrued interest on the Debentures.
(Par. 2). The Company will maintain an office or agency where the Debentures may
be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent") and an office or agency where the
Debentures may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
"Registrar"). The Company will act as the "Paying Agent."

     Debentures of one Maturity may not be exchanged for Debentures of another
Maturity. The term "Maturity" is defined in the Indenture to mean either of the
two maturities of Debentures (October 1, 1998 or April 1, 2005) offered hereby
and issued pursuant to the Indenture. Debentures due April 1, 2005 that provide
for quarterly compounding of interest may be surrendered to the Registrar in
exchange for an equal principal amount of Debentures of the same Maturity, but
the terms of which provide for periodic payments of interest. To permit such an
exchange, the Debenture Holder must deliver the Debentures for surrender,
accompanied by a letter requesting the exchange, and such other written
instrument(s) as may be requested by the Registrar, all duly executed by the
registered owner or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon delivery of
the Debentures for surrender, the letter requesting such exchange, and other
written instrument(s) that may be requested by the Registrar, the Company shall
execute and the Registrar shall authenticate Debentures to be issued upon the
effective date of such election. An exchange completed on or prior to the tenth
day of the second calendar month of a quarter shall be effective on the first
day of the next calendar quarter. An exchange completed after the tenth day of
the second month of a calendar quarter shall be effective on the first day of
the second succeeding calendar quarter. On the effective date of an election,
the Company shall pay to such Debenture Holder cash in the amount equal to any
accrued interest on the Debentures up to the effective date of such election,
and, thereafter, interest on the Debentures will be payable on the first day of
each calendar quarter in an amount equal to the interest accrued in such amount
as would otherwise accrue on the principal amount of such Debentures during the
quarter prior to payment. (Art. 2 Sec. 2.07(b)).

     The Debentures are transferable on the books of the Company by the
registered holders thereof upon surrender of the Debentures to the Registrar
appointed by the Company and, if requested by the Registrar, shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
registrar. The Company has appointed The Bank of New York as the "Registrar" for
the Debentures. The person in whose name any Debenture is registered shall be
treated as the absolute owner of the Debenture for all purposes, and shall

                                       42

<PAGE>


not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Upon transfer, the Debentures
will be cancelled, and one or more new registered Debentures, in the same
aggregate principal amount, of the same maturity and with the same terms, will
be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. (Art. 2, Sec. 2.07(a)).

     The Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford
the Debenture Holders protection in the event of highly leveraged transactions.

DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

     The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default (as defined) shall
occur and continue, the Trustee will be required to use the same degree of care
and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs in the exercise of its power. While the Trustee
may pursue any available remedies to enforce any provision of the Indenture or
the Debentures, the holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding
Debentures may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding
for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture
at the request of any of the Debenture holders, unless they shall have offered
to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it.

AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF DEBENTURES

     The Registrar shall authenticate Debentures for original issue in the
aggregate principal amount of up to $11,000,000 (but not more than $1,000,000 of
Debentures maturing October 1, 1998 or $10,000,000 of Debentures maturing April
1, 2005) upon receipt of a written order of the Company, specifying the amount
of Debentures to be authenticated and the date of authentication, which is
signed by two officers of the Company. (Art. 2, Sec. 2.02). Certificates
representing the Debentures will be delivered to the purchasers of the
Debentures promptly after Closing.

SUBORDINATION

     The Debentures are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to
$11,000,000 principal amount. The Debentures will be subordinated in payment of
principal and interest to all Senior Indebtedness. The term "Senior
Indebtedness" is defined in the Indenture to mean all Indebtedness of the
Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created,
which (i) is secured, in whole or in part, by any asset or assets owned by the
Company or by a corporation, a majority of whose voting stock is owned by the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company ("Subsidiary"), or (ii) arises from
unsecured borrowings by the

                                       43

<PAGE>


Company from commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations,
insurance companies, companies whose securities are traded in a national
securities market, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing, or
(iii) arises from unsecured borrowings by the Company from any pension plan (as
defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended), or (iv) arises from borrowings by the Company which are evidenced
by commercial paper, or (v) is the Company's Series 1989 Registered Floating
Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, (the "Senior Debentures") (including
any modification, amendment or supplement thereto permitted pursuant to the
terms of the trust indenture pursuant to which the Senior Debentures were
issued), and any other indebtedness which, under the terms of such trust
indenture, is permitted to be issued pari passu with the Senior Debentures
("Additional Senior Debentures") or (vi) is a guarantee or other liability of
the Company or of, or with respect to any indebtedness of, a Subsidiary of the
type described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. (Art. 10, Sec. 10.01). The
trust indenture pursuant to which the Senior Debentures were issued permits the
Company to issue Additional Senior Debentures, provided that immediately after
the issuance of any Additional Senior Debentures, the total capital, surplus and
retained earnings of the Company exceeds the aggregate of the outstanding
principal amount of the Senior Debentures and all Additional Senior Debentures.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had Senior Indebtedness of approximately
$1,218,000 including $1,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Debentures,
and the Company's capital, surplus and retained earnings was approximately
$9,378,000. There is no limitation or restriction in the Debentures or the
Indenture on the creation of Senior Indebtedness by the Company or on the amount
of such Senior Indebtedness to which the Debentures may be subordinated. There
is also no limitation on the creation or amount of indebtedness which is pari
passu with (i.e. having no priority of payment over and not subordinated in
right of payment to) the Debentures ("Pari Passu Indebtedness"). The Company
presently has outstanding $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series
10/4/89 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, $4,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its Series 3/28/90 Registered Floating Rate
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, $6,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
Series 5/13/91 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures,
$4,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series 2/20/92 Registered Floating
Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of its Series 6/29/92 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated
Debentures, $8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series 9/13/93
Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, $5,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its Series 1/28/94 Registered Floating Rate
Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
Series 10/28/94 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures,
$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series

                                       44

<PAGE>


5/12/95 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable Subordinated Debentures, and
$10,000,000 of its Series 10/19/95 Registered Floating Rate Redeemable
Subordinated Debentures which are pari passu with the Debentures, (Art. 4,
Section 4.05).

     Upon any distribution of assets of the Company in connection with any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, the
holders of all Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to receive payment in
full of the principal and premium, if any, thereof and any interest due thereon,
before the holders of the Debentures are entitled to receive any payment upon
the principal of or interest on the Debentures, and thereafter payments to
Debenture holders will be pro rata with payments to holders of Pari Passu
Indebtedness. In the absence of any such events, the Company is obligated to pay
principal of and interest on the Debentures in accordance with their terms.

     The Company will not maintain any sinking fund for the retirement of any of
the Debentures.

REDEMPTION

     The Company may, at its option, at any time call all or any part of the
Debentures (including all or any part of the Debentures of any maturity) for
payment, and redeem the same at any time prior to the maturity thereof. The
redemption price for Debentures due October 1, 1998 will be the face amount. The
redemption price for Debentures due April 1, 2005 will be (i) face amount plus a
2% premium if the date of redemption is prior to January 1, 1998, (ii) face
amount plus a 1% premium if the date of redemption is on or after January 1,
1998 and prior to January 1, 1999, and (iii) face amount if the date of
redemption is on or after January 1, 1999. In all cases, the Debenture Holder
will also receive interest accrued to the date of redemption. Notice of
redemption must be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered
holders of the Debentures not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days prior to
the date the redemption is to be made. In the event of a call for redemption, no
further interest shall accrue after the redemption date on any Debentures called
for redemption. (Art. 3, Section 3.03, Paragraph 5). Since the payment of
principal of, interest on, or any other amounts due on the Debentures is
subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of
the Company, no redemption will be permitted upon the happening of such an
event.

LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS

     The Indenture will provide that the Company will not declare or pay any
dividend or make any distribution on its Capital Stock (i.e. any and all shares,
interests, participations, rights or other equivalents of the Company's stock)
or to its shareholders

                                       45

<PAGE>


(other than dividends or distributions payable in Capital Stock), or purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, or permit any Subsidiary to
purchase or otherwise acquire for value, Capital Stock of the Company, if at the
time of such payment, or after giving effect thereto, an Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, shall have occurred and be continuing or a default shall
occur as a result thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
shall not prevent (A) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date
of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment complied
with the provisions of such limitation, or (B) the acquisition or retirement of
any shares of the Company's Capital Stock by exchange for, or out of the
proceeds of the sale of shares of, its Capital Stock. (Art. 4, Section 4.04).

DISCHARGE PRIOR TO REDEMPTION OR MATURITY

     If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay principal and interest on the
Debentures prior to their redemption or maturity, the Company will be discharged
from the Indenture, provided certain other conditions specified in the Indenture
are satisfied. In the event of such deposit, which is irrevocable, Debenture
Holders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment. U.S.
Government Obligations are securities backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States. (Art. 8, Section 8.01(2)).

ACCESS OF INFORMATION TO SECURITY HOLDERS

     Debenture Holders may obtain from the Trustee information necessary to
communicate with other Debenture Holders. Upon written application to the
Trustee by any three or more Debenture Holders stating that such Debenture
Holders desire to communicate with other Debenture Holders with respect to their
rights under the Indenture or under the Debentures, and upon providing the
Trustee with the form of proxy or other communication which the Debenture
Holders propose to transmit, and upon receipt by the Trustee from the Debenture
Holders of reasonable proof that each such Debenture Holder has owned a
Debenture for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such
application, the Trustee shall, within five business days after the receipt of
such information, either (a) provide the applicant Debenture Holders access to
all information in the Trustee's possession with respect to the names and
addresses of the Debenture Holders; or (b) provide the applicant Debenture
Holders with information as to the number of Debenture Holders and the
approximate cost of mailing to such Debenture Holders the form of proxy or other
communication, if any, specified in the applicant Debenture Holders'
application, and upon written request from such applicant Debenture Holders and
receipt of the material to be mailed and of payment, the Trustee shall mail to
all the Debenture Holders copies of the from of proxy or other communication so
specified in the request. (Art. 2, Section 2.08).

                                       46

<PAGE>


COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS

     Upon any request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under the
Indenture, the Company is required to furnish to the Trustee (i) an officers'
certificate of the Company stating that all conditions and covenants in the
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an
opinion of counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such
conditions and covenants have been complied with. (Art. 11, Sec. 11.03).

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Debentures may be
amended or supplemented, and compliance by the Company with any provision of the
Indenture or the Debentures may be waived, with the consent of the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. Without notice to or
consent of any holders of Debentures, the Company may amend or supplement the
Indenture or the Debentures to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights
of any holders of Debentures. However, without the consent of each holder of
Debentures affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not reduce the
amount of Debentures whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or
waiver, reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on any
Debentures (except that the payment of interest on Debentures may be postponed
for a period not exceeding three years from its due date with the consent of
holders of not less than 75% in principal amount of Debentures at the time
outstanding, which consent shall be binding upon all holders), reduce the
principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Debentures, make any Debentures
payable in money other than that stated in the Indenture, make any change in the
subordination provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of
any holder of Debentures or waive a default in the payment of principal of or
interest on, or other redemption payment on any Debentures. (Art. 9, Sec. 9.02).

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     Each of the following is an "Event of Default" under the Indenture: (a)
failure by the Company to pay any principal on the Debentures when due; (b)
failure by the Company to pay any interest installment on the Debentures within
thirty days after the due date; (c) failure to perform any other covenant or
agreement of the Company made in the Indenture or the Debentures, continued for
sixty days after receipt of notice thereof from the Trustee or the holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures; and (d) certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. (Art. 6, Sec. 6.01). If an Event of
Default (other than those described in clause (d) above) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the

                                       47

<PAGE>


Debentures, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of and accrued
interest on all of the Debentures to be due and payable immediately. If an Event
of Default of the type described in clause (d) above occurs, all unpaid
principal and accrued interest on the Debentures shall automatically become due
and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any holder. (Art. 6, Sec. 6.02). Holders of Debentures may not enforce the
Indenture or the Debentures except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may
refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Debentures unless it receives indemnity
and security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, the holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Debentures may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, and may rescind an
acceleration of the Debentures. The Trustee may withhold from holders of
Debentures notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. (Art. 6, Secs. 6.05 and 6.06).

     The Indenture requires the Company to furnish to the Trustee an annual
statement, signed by specified officers of the Company, stating whether or not
such officers have knowledge of any Default under the Indenture, and, if so,
specifying each such Default and the nature thereof. (Art. 4, Sec. 4.03).

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     Interest payments, if any, received by Holders of Debentures for the first
two quarters after the closing of the Offering will be includible in the income
of such Debenture Holders for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year
in which the interest is received.

     Holders of the Debentures will be required to include in their income for
federal income tax purposes all of the accrued but unpaid interest for each
taxable year, since such amounts constitute original issue discount within the
meaning of the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended to date (the "Code"). As a result, such Debenture Holders will be
required to pay taxes on interest which has accrued, although such interest will
not be paid until maturity of the Debenture.

     Interest payments received by Holders of Debentures who have elected to
receive quarterly payments of interest will be includible in the income of such
Holders for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year in which the
interest was received, except with respect to the payment of accrued interest
that has been included in their income in prior years.

     No gain or loss will be realized or recognized by a Holder of Debentures
providing for quarterly compounding of interest in

                                       48

<PAGE>


connection with the exchange of such Debentures for Debentures of the same
Maturity but which provide for periodic payments of interest. Interest payments
received at the time of any such exchange will be includible in the income of
the Debenture Holder for the taxable year in which received, except to the
extent that such interest payment reflects accrued interest that was included in
his or her income in prior years.

     Holders who hold the Debentures for investment purposes should treat all
reportable interest (whether actually received or constituting original issue
discount under the Code) as portfolio income under applicable Code provisions.

     The Company's deposit of funds with the Trustee to effect the discharge of
the Company's obligations under the Debentures and the Indenture prior to
redemption or maturity of the Debentures, will have no effect on the amount of
income realized or recognized (gain or loss) by the Debenture Holders or the
timing of recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

                                PLAN OF OFFERING

     The Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Sage, Rutty &
Co., Inc., a New York corporation (the "Underwriter"). Mr. William F. Holly, who
is a director of the Company, is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Underwriter. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the
Underwriter will offer the Debentures for sale on a minimum ($5,000,000) and
maximum ($11,000,000) "best efforts" basis. Accordingly, the Underwriter will
not have any obligation to purchase any Debentures from the Company in the event
it is unable to effect the sale of part or all of the Debentures. Moreover, no
Debenture may be sold unless the Issuer has received orders for at least
$5,000,000 of Debentures. If, within 75 days after the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Offering
Termination Date"), at least $5,000,000 of Debentures, without regard to
maturity, have been sold and subscriptions accepted by the Company, the Company
may close the Offering to those Debentures (the "First Closing"), and the
Underwriter may continue to offer the balance of the Debentures and
subscriptions will be accepted by the Company until 150 days after the minimum
has been sold. The Underwriter may enter into one or more Selected Dealer
Agreements with other broker/dealer firms which are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), pursuant to which such
other broker/dealers may offer part of the Debentures for sale.

     Lowell S. Dansker, an officer and director of the Company, is a registered
representative of Strategic Brokerage Corp., a member of the NASD, which firm
may enter into a Selected Dealer Agreement and, if so, Mr. Dansker may
participate in his capacity as a registered representative of that firm. As
such, Mr. Dansker may

                                       49

<PAGE>


be deemed to be an affiliate of Strategic Brokerage Corp. The offering is
therefore being conducted in compliance with the requirements of Schedule E to
the bylaws of the NASD and the Underwriter will be acting as a Qualified
Independent Underwriter within the meaning thereof. As such, the Underwriter is
assuming responsibility relating to the pricing of the offering and the
performance of due diligence.

     The Underwriter is one of ten (10) defendants in a civil proceeding
commenced in November, 1990, in the U.S. District Court, Western District of New
York (Civ. 90-1140). The plaintiffs in the action were purchasers of
participation units in a limited partnership formed to hold a first mortgage on
property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The ten (10) defendants include the
limited partnership, its general partner, promoters, appraisers, escrow agents
and certain broker/dealers that acted as placement agents. Plaintiffs allege
violation by the ten (10) defendants of various provisions of the federal
securities laws, as well as related breaches of common law duties. The
Underwriter filed a pre-answer motion requesting various forms of relief, as a
result of which all of the plaintiffs' causes of action except one were
dismissed. The Underwriter denies the allegations with respect to the
aforementioned violations and believes they are without merit. The plaintiffs
have filed an amended complaint as to which the Underwriter has filed its answer
and the case is in the early stages of discovery. The Underwriter intends to
vigorously defend this action. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is
a party to, or involved in any way with, this litigation.

     The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter and such broker/dealers
participating in the offering against certain civil liabilities, including
certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     The Company will pay to the Underwriter a commission equal to 8% of the
purchase price of Debentures due April 1, 2005 and 2% of the purchase price of
Debentures due October 1, 1998 which are sold by the Underwriter or
participating broker/dealers. In addition, the Company will pay the Underwriter
a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate gross amount of Debentures due April 1, 2005
sold in the offering and 1/2 of 1% of Debentures due October 1, 1998 sold in the
offering, and will pay the fee of Underwriter's counsel. Pursuant to the
Selected Dealer Agreements, the Underwriter will reallow to each of the other
broker/dealers referred to above a commission equal to 8% or 2%, as the case may
be, of the price of each Debenture sold by such broker/dealer. No additional
discounts or commissions are to be allowed or paid to such other broker/dealers.
Certain officers of the Company may also offer the debentures for sale and no
commissions or compensation shall be paid to such officers in connection with
Debentures sold by such officers.

                                       50

     Until the First Closing, subscription payments for Debentures should be
made payable to "M&T Bank as Escrow Agent for Intervest Corporation of New
York." After the First Closing, subscription payments for the Debentures should
be made payable to the Company. Payments received by the Underwriter or
participating broker/dealers will be promptly transmitted to Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company where they will be held for subscribers in a segregated
escrow account until acceptable subscriptions for at least $5,000,000 of
Debentures have been received. At the First Closing, the funds in the escrow
account (including interest earned thereon but after deducting commissions due
to the Underwriter) will be delivered to the Company. If, on the Offering
Termination Date, at least $5,000,000 of Debentures have not been sold and
subscriptions accepted by the Company, subscription documents and funds will be
promptly refunded to subscribers and the Offering will terminate. With respect
to interest earned on the escrow account, such interest will, in the event of
such termination, be distributed to subscribers in proportion to the amount paid
by each subscriber without regard to the date when such subscription funds were
paid by the subscriber. It shall be a condition to the refund of subscription
funds that the subscriber furnish an executed IRS Form W-9 so that any interest
earned and distributed to such subscriber may be properly reported. Once the
Escrow Agent has received a minimum of $5,000,000 in subscriptions for
Debentures which have been accepted by the Company, the Company may close the
Offering as to those subscribers, and the Underwriter may continue to offer the
balance of the Debentures and subscriptions will be accepted by the Company
until 150 days after such minimum has been sold.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Intervest Corporation of New York
New York, New York

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intervest
Corporation of New York and subsidiaries as at December 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995 and Schedule IV. These financial statements and related
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and related schedule
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and related schedule
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intervest
Corporation of New York and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, it is our opinion that
the schedule referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein in compliance with the applicable accounting
regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                        INTERVEST CORPORATION OF NEW YORK
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(NOTE 1) -- The Company:

     Intervest Corporation of New York (the "Company") was formed by Lowell S.
Dansker, Lawrence G. Bergman and Helene D. Bergman for the purpose of engaging
in the real estate business, including the acquisition and purchase of real
estate mortgage loans.

(NOTE 2) -- Significant Accounting Policies:

     [a] Consolidation policy:

     The financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. Material
intercompany items are eliminated in consolidation.

     [b] Unearned discount:

     Unearned discount is amortized over the life of the related receivables
using the constant interest method.

     [c] Allowance for possible losses:

     Mortgages receivable are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable
value on an individual basis. The Company will recognize an impairment loss if
it determines that the net realizable value of the mortgage receivable is below
cost. This determination is made based upon the mortgagor's continuing
compliance with the terms of the mortgage and management's ability to assess the
operation of the underlying properties and the rental housing market where such
properties are located. For financial reporting purposes mortgages are deemed to
be delinquent when payment of either principal or interest is more than 90 days

     [f] Concentration of credit risk: (continued)

     [2] The Company's mortgage portfolio is composed predominantly of mortgages
on multi-family residential properties in the New York City area, most of which
are subject to applicable rent control and rent stabilization statutes and
regulations. In both cases, any increases in rent are subject to specific
limitations. As such, properties of the nature of those constituting the most
significant portion of the Company's mortgage portfolio are not affected by the
general movement of real estate values in the same manner as other
income-producing properties. The rental housing market in New York City remains
stable and the Company expects that such properties will continue to appreciate
in value with little or no reduction in occupancy rates.

     Prime was 8 1/2% on December 31, 1995. Minimum interest is 9 1/2% and
maximum interest is 15% on Series 1989, 10/4/89, 3/28/90 and 5/13/91. Series

     Payment of interest on an aggregate of $12,870,000 of debentures is
deferred until maturity and earns interest at prime. Any debenture holder who
has deferred receipt of interest may at any time elect to receive the deferred
interest and subsequently receive regular payments of interest.

     The debentures may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the
option of the Company. For debentures issued after 1993, redemption would
generally be at a premium of 1% or 2% if the redemption is prior to 1997.

     The debentures are unsecured and subordinate to all present and future
senior indebtedness, as defined. In addition, all other series of debentures are
subordinate to the Series 1989 debentures.
