Item  1.   Description of Business

Intervest  Corporation  of New York (the  "Company") was formed in April 1987 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.

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 has no employees; and only one of its officers serves with
compensation. It presently owns mortgages on real estate, and intends to acquire
and originate additional mortgages on real estate. 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.

Present Business

The Company  owns a  portfolio  of  mortgages  on improved  real  property.  The
aggregate  outstanding  principal  balance  at  December  31,  1997  due on such
mortgages  is  approximately  $75,202,000  ($74,316,000  after  adjusting  for a
discount  of  $886,000).  The  company has in the past and may in the future own
"wraparound  mortgages"  under which 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,  single
tenant, free standing commercial properties,  thirty-one are senior mortgages on
multifamily  residential  apartment  buildings,  five are  junior  mortgages  on
multifamily  residential apartment buildings,  one is a senior mortgage on land,
three are senior mortgages on commercial buildings and two are participations in
first mortgages on commercial properties.

Twenty-eight of the residential properties are located in New York City, two are
located  in  suburbs  of New York  City,  four are  located  in the State of New
Jersey,  one is located in the State of  Pennsylvania  and one is located in the
State of Florida.  One of the Company's mortgages is a blanket mortgage covering
several residential properties located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two of the
residential  properties  are  owned  by  cooperative  corporations  (a  form  of
owner-occupied  apartment  ownership  in  New  York  City).  Thirty-four  of the
residential  properties  are rental  properties,  nine of which have  commercial
space (stores) on the ground floor.  Twenty-nine  of the Company's  mortgages on
these properties are first mortgages,  and five are junior mortgages. Two of the
mortgages are  participations  in first  mortgages on  commercial  properties in
Florida.  One of the mortgages is a first  mortgage on land located in the State
of Florida.





                                        3

Future Business Operations

The  Company  plans  to  engage  in the  real  estate  business,  including  the
acquisition  and  origination  of  additional  mortgages  in  the  future.  Such
additional  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 offerings of the  Company's  debt  securities
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. In originating new
mortgages,  the Company  intends to act as a lender of money to owners of equity
interests in real property. The Company acquired certain existing mortgages from
mortgagees  after it  commenced  business  and  intends  to  acquire  additional
existing mortgages from mortgagees in the future. The Company does not presently
own any equity  interests in real  property  nor has it acquired  such an equity
interest in real property  since the date it commenced  business.  However,  the
Company may purchase  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 may include:  (i) first mortgage loans; (ii) junior
mortgage loans; and (iii) wraparound 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  may make  both  long-  and
short-term  mortgage loans. 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.

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.

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 executive officers of the Company have been actively
involved in such activities for many years. (See "Item 10").

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
commercial,   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.

                                        4

<PAGE>



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  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 also acquires or originates mortgages
which are liens on other types of  properties,  including  commercial and office
properties, and may resell mortgages.

Temporary Investment 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.

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  Company's  debt  obligations,  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.

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:



                                        5

<PAGE>



      (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.
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.

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 only experienced a single default
or delinquency in its mortgage portfolio. It is pursuing foreclosure proceedings
with respect to a single mortgage, the principal balance of which is $1,583,700.
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  experienced  only a single default or
delinquency, 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  $830,000 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 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.

Item  2.  Properties

None.

Item  3.  Legal Proceedings

Except with respect to foreclosure  proceedings related to one of its mortgages,
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.

Item 7. 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,  1997  was
$10,521,000.  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, 1997 and 1996

Interest Income for 1997 was $10,088,000 as compared to $9,497,000 for 1996. The
increase of $591,000  resulted mainly from an increase in mortgages  receivable.
Interest paid by the Company on most of its debentures,  as well as the interest
earned on many of its mortgages, is keyed to the prime rate, which was 8 1/4% at
December 31, 1996, and increased to 8 1/2% on March 26, 1997.

Interest  expense for the 1997 period was  $8,181,000  as compared to $7,053,000
for the 1996 period. The increase of $1,128,000 resulted mainly from an increase
in long term obligations.

General  and  administrative  expenses  for 1997 was  $773,000  as  compared  to
$948,000  for  1996.  The  decrease  of  $175,000  resulted  mainly  from  lower
management fees and payroll expenses.

The  provision  for income  taxes are  $373,000  and $584,000 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. These provisions represent 46% of pretax income for each period.

Year Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

Interest  income for 1996 was $9,497,000 as compared to $7,984,000 for 1995. The
increase of $1,513,000 resulted mainly from an increase in mortgages receivable,
offset in part by a decrease in interest rates subsequent to July 1995. Interest
paid by the Company on most of its debentures, as well as the interest earned on
many of its mortgages,  is keyed to the prime rate, which was 8 1/2% at December
31, 1995, and decreased to 8 1/4% on February 1, 1996.

Interest  expense for the 1996 period was  $7,053,000  as compared to $6,227,000
for the 1995 period.  The increase of $826,000  resulted mainly from an increase
in long  term  obligations,  offset  in part by a  decrease  in  interest  rates
subsequent to July 1995.

General  and  administrative  expenses  for 1996 was  $948,000  as  compared  to
$657,000 for 1995. The increase of $291,000  resulted mainly from the payment of
an officer's salary and increased advertising expenses.

The  provision  for income  taxes are  $584,000  and $324,000 for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  These provisions  represent 46% and 42% of pretax income for each
period.

<PAGE>



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,  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 multi-family residential properties, 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 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.

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.

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. 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, 1997, 59% 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  Florida,   Georgia,  New  Jersey,   upstate  New  York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia.




                                       11

<PAGE>



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, 1997,  approximately  36% of the Company's  mortgage  portfolio was
comprised  of fixed rate  mortgages.  Interest  on the loans is usually  payable
monthly.

At December  31,  1997,  the  Company's  portfolio  consisted  of 47 real estate
mortgage  loans totaling  $75,202,000  in the aggregate  face  principal  amount
($74,316,000 in carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, the difference
representing  unearned discounts).  Of the principal amount of real estate loans
outstanding  at December 31, 1997,  91% represent  first  mortgage  loans and 9%
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 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, 1997,  the Company had 47 real estate  loans in its  portfolio,
totaling $75,202,000 (face amount) in aggregate principal amount. Interest rates
on the mortgage portfolio range between 6% and 23% per annum.  Certain mortgages
have been discounted utilizing rates between 9% and 17% per annum.

Certain  information  concerning  the Company's  mortgage  loans  outstanding at
December 31, 1997 is set forth below:

Competition:

The Company  competes for  acceptable  investments  with real estate  investment
trusts,  commercial banks,  insurance companies,  savings and loan associations,
pension funds and mortgage banking firms,  many of which have greater  resources
with which to compete for desirable mortgage loans.

flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1997.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item  14(a).   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 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, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated
results of their  operations  and cash flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.  Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  schedule  referred  to  above,  when
considered  in  relation  to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
Note A - 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  origination  and purchase of real
estate mortgage loans.


Note B - Significant Accounting Policies

[1]  Consolidation policy:

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

[2]  Mortgage loans:

         Loans are stated at their outstanding  principal  balances,  net of any
         deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized discounts on
         purchased  loans.  Interest  income is accrued on the unpaid  principal
         balance. Discounts are amortized to income over the life of the related
         receivables using the constant  interest method.  Loan origination fees
         net of certain direct  origination costs are deferred and recognized as
         an adjustment of the yield of the related loans.

[3]  Allowance for losses:

         An  allowance  for loss  related to loans that are impaired is based on
         discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective  interest rate
         or the fair value of the collateral.  Management's  periodic evaluation
         of the  need  for,  or  adequacy  of,  the  allowance  is  based on the
         Company's  past loan loss  experience,  known and inherent risks in the
         portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to
         repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of
         the underlying  collateral and other relevant factors.  This evaluation
         is inherently  subjective as it requires material  estimates  including
         the amounts and timing of future cash flows  expected to be received on
         any impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant  change.  For
         financial reporting purposes mortgages are deemed to be delinquent when
         payment of either principal or interest is more than 90 days past due.

[4]  Deferred debenture offering costs:

         Costs  relating to offerings of debentures are amortized over the terms
         of the  debentures  based  on  serial  maturities.  Deferred  debenture
         offering costs consist primarily of underwriters' commissions.

Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

[5]  Statement of cash flows:

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company  considers all
         highly liquid instruments  purchased with an original maturity of three
         months or less to be cash  equivalents.  Interest and income taxes were
         paid as follows:

Year Ended  
December 31,    Interest    Income Taxes
- ------------    --------    ------------
      1997    $6,721,000    $  827,000
      1996     5,679,000       196,000
      1995     7,584,000       331,000


[6]  Estimated fair value of financial instruments:

         The Company  considers  the carrying  amounts  presented  for mortgages
         receivable  and  subordinated  debentures  payable on the  consolidated
         balance  sheets to be  reasonable  approximations  of fair  value.  The
         Company's  variable or floating interest rates on large portions of its
         receivables  and  payables  approximate  those which  would  prevail in
         current  market  transactions.  Considerable  judgement is  necessarily
         required in  interpreting  market data to develop the estimates of fair
         value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of
         the  amounts  that  the  Company  could  realize  in a  current  market
         transaction.

[7]  Use of estimates:

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

[8]  Concentration of credit risk:

         (a)   The Company  places its temporary  cash  investments  with higher
               credit-quality financial institutions,  including a bank owned by
               the shareholders of the Company and in governmental  obligations.
               Such  investments  are generally in excess of the FDIC  insurance
               limit.  The  Company  has not  experienced  any losses  from such
               investments.

         (b)   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" refers to the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Prime was 8 1/2% on December  31, 1997.  Minimum  interest is 9 1/2% and maximum
interest is 15% on Series 5/13/91. Series 2/20/92 has minimum interest of 8% and
maximum  interest of 14%,  Series  6/29/92 has maximum  interest of 14%,  Series
9/13/93, 1/28/94, 10/28/94, 5/12/95, 10/19/95, 5/10/96, 10/15/96 and 4/30/97 due
October 1, 2005 have  maximum  interest of 12%,  and Series  4/30/97 due July 1,
1999 has interest of 9%.

Payment of interest on an aggregate of  $13,790,000  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 1996,  redemption would generally be
at a premium of 1% or 2% if the redemption is prior to 1999.

The  debentures  are unsecured and  subordinate to all present and future senior
indebtedness, as defined.

Interest rates on mortgages  range from 6% to 23%.  Certain  mortgages have been
discounted utilizing rates ranging from 12% to 17%.

During 1996 and 1997 certain mortgages were paid in full prior to their maturity
date. This resulted in the recognition of a gain,  which  represents the balance
of the unamortized discount applicable to these mortgages.

Maturities of mortgages receivable are summarized as follows:

             Year Ending
             December 31,

Note D - Mortgages Receivable (continued)

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.  At the respective  balance sheet dates,  no allowances  were
required,  although as of December 31, 1997,  one mortgage with a carrying value
of $1,584,000 is delinquent. The Company is in the process of foreclosing on the
related  property,  the fair value of which  exceeds the carrying  value of this
loan.


Note E - Related Party Transactions

During 1995 affiliates sold, to unrelated third parties,  properties  subject to
mortgages  held by the Company.  In connection  with those sales,  the Company's
mortgages in the original  aggregate amount of $6,958,000 was refinanced and the
Company received new first mortgages totaling $9,670,000.

Other income  includes  fees of $6,000 , $8,000 and $42,000 from  affiliates  in
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

The Company utilizes  personnel and other facilities of affiliated  entities and
is charged  service  fees for general and  administrative  expenses  for placing
mortgages,  servicing mortgages and distributing debenture interest checks. Such
fees  amounted  to  $264,000,  $367,000  and  $342,000  in 1997,  1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management believes these service fees are reasonable.

The Company  participates  with Intervest Bank in two mortgages.  The balance of
the Company's  participation  in these  mortgages was $1,309,919 at December 31,
1997. The  shareholders of the Company are officers,  directors and shareholders
of the Parent of Intervest Bank.
