Part I
Item 1. Business
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership, (the
"Partnership") was organized on June 14, 1984 and invests in first, second,
third, wraparound and construction mortgage loans and loans on leasehold
interest mortgages. In June, 1985, the Partnership became the
successor-in-interest to, and acquired the assets and limited partners of Owens
Mortgage Investment Fund I, a California limited partnership formed in June 1983
with the same policies and objectives as the Partnership. In September, 1992 the
Partnership changed its name from Owens Mortgage Investment Fund II to Owens
Mortgage Investment Fund.
All of the loans invested in by the Partnership are arranged by the
Corporate General Partner. In connection with the investment in such loans, the
Partnership in limited instances acquires an equity interest in the underlying
real property in the form of a shared appreciation interest. To date, the
Partnership has not acquired any material shared appreciation interests. The
Partnership's mortgage loans are secured by mortgages on unimproved as well as
improved real property and nonincome producing as well as income-producing real
property such as apartments, shopping centers, office buildings, and other
commercial or industrial properties. No single Partnership loan may exceed 10%
of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
The following table shows the growth in total Partnership capital,
mortgage investments and net income as of and for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership held investments in 240 mortgage
loans, secured by ownership and leasehold interests in real property, 69% of
which are situated in Northern California. The remaining 31% were located in
Southern California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii. The following table
sets forth the types and maturities of mortgage investments held by the
Partnership as of December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>
The average loan balance of the mortgage loan portfolio of $639,622 as of
December 31, 1996 is considered by the General Partners to be a reasonable
diversification of investments concentrated in mortgages secured by commercial
properties. Of such investments, 41% earn a variable rate of interest and 59%
earn a fixed rate of interest. All were negotiated according to the
Partnership's investment standards.
Due to general economic conditions, certain sectors of the commercial real
estate market have recently experienced decreases in both values and rental
rates and an increase in vacancy rates. These conditions have helped to create
stricter underwriting standards of the Corporate General Partner in relation to
the financial strength of tenants, vacancy rates in comparable properties,
existence and amounts of senior mortgages, general area economic development and
growth, and other factors. The Corporate General Partner has continued to use
relatively low loan-to-value ratios as a major criteria in making mortgage
loans.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had invested in construction
loans the aggregate amount of $2,240,000 and in loans partially secured by a
leasehold interest of $13,535,000.
The Partnership has other assets in addition to its mortgage investments,
comprised principally of funds held in conjunction with contingency reserve
requirements, cash held for investment, investment in the development limited
partnership formed to develop certain property in Carmel Valley, California,
acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure, real estate owned, mortgage
interest receivable and unsecured notes from the Corporate General Partner. As
of December 31, 1996, $12,236,661 ($3,400,000 representing contingency reserve
funds) was primarily invested in certificates of deposit (with staggered
maturity dates to a maximum of one year), money market accounts, and general
banking accounts as required to transact the business of the Partnership. In
addition, as of December 31, 1996, the Partnership held $7,743,295 in real
estate owned, $4,877,798 in a limited partnership formed to develop the property
located in Carmel Valley, California and acquired by the Partnership through
foreclosure, $1,321,493 in mortgage interest receivable from the borrowers and
$488,764 in unsecured notes due from the Corporate General Partner.
The Partnership intends to continue to invest primarily in first deeds
of trust secured by commercial properties.
Delinquencies
The Corporate General Partner does not regularly examine the maintenance
of acceptable loan-to-value ratios for the existing portfolio because the
majority of loans in the Partnership's portfolio mature in a period of 1-7
years. In the event that payments on a loan securing a property become
delinquent, the loan is past maturity, the General Partners learn of physical
changes to the property securing the loan or to the area in which the property
is located or the General Partners learn of changes to the economic condition of
the borrower or of leasing activity of the property securing the loan, the
General Partners will perform an internal review on the property including, but
not limited to, a physical evaluation of the property as well as for the area in
which the property is located, the financial stability of the borrower and the
property's tenant mix and, in its sole discretion, will work with the borrower
to bring the loan current.
Although the Corporate General Partner is not obligated to do so, it
purchases the Partnership's receivables for delinquent interest from the
Partnership with respect to certain Partnership loans originated prior to May 1,
1993, and which are delinquent more than 90 days. In exchange for purchasing
such delinquent interest receivables or purchasing delinquent loans, the
Corporate General Partner is entitled to receive a higher maximum management fee
(see "Executive Compensation"). Such payments have been recorded by the
Partnership as interest payments as if made by the borrower, and have not been
classified as contributions by the Corporate General Partner or as loans made by
the Corporate General Partner. The Partnership has no obligation to repay such
amounts to the Corporate General Partner.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's portfolio included $11,348,000
(compared with $12,037,000 as of December 31, 1995) of loans delinquent more
than 90 days, representing 7.4% of the Partnership's investment in mortgage
loans. The balance of delinquent loans at December 31, 1996, includes $5,046,000
(compared with $3,728,000 as of December 31, 1995) in the process of foreclosure
and $3,156,000 (compared with $850,000 as of December 31, 1995) involves loans
to borrowers who are in bankruptcy. The General Partners believe that these
loans may result in a loss of principal and/or interest. However, the General
Partners believe that the $3,500,000 allowance for losses on loans which is
maintained in the financial statements of the Partnership as of December 31,
1996 is sufficient to cover any potential losses of principal.
Of the $12,037,000 that was delinquent as of December 31, 1995, $6,246,000
remained delinquent as of December 31, 1996, $1,193,000 was paid off, $2,045,000
became current, $1,683,000 became Real Estate Owned of the Partnership (see
"Properties") and $870,000 represents a loan foreclosed upon by the Partnership
and subsequently sold to the Corporate General Partner (see "Unsecured Loan to
Corporate General Partner"). The General Partners believe that there could be
partial losses of principal on these loans; therefore, an additional allowance
for loan losses of $250,000 was provided for in the financial statements of the
Partnership in 1996. An allowance for loan losses of $3,500,000 and $3,250,000
is maintained in the financial statements of the Partnership as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
Where payments on delinquent loans are not made currently by the
borrowers, the Corporate General Partner has chosen to continue to purchase the
Partnership's receivables for delinquent interest on a monthly basis on certain
loans originated prior to May 1, 1993. Such loans totaled $1,336,000 as of
December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the amount of delinquent interest
receivables purchased by the Corporate General Partner, together with amounts
advanced by the Corporate General Partner in connection with these and other
loans, including property taxes, insurance, legal fees, and interest to senior
lenders that has not been repaid to the Corporate General Partner by borrowers
was approximately $1,218,000. The Partnership is not obligated to reimburse the
Corporate General Partner for such advances or to reacquire the delinquent
interest receivables purchased by the Corporate General Partner.
Finally, although not required to do so, prior to May 1, 1993, the
Corporate General Partner would purchase certain loans from the Partnership at
the time of foreclosure of such loans, for the unpaid principal amount and
accrued interest, in order to prevent the Partnership from suffering a loss upon
such foreclosure. However, commencing with loans originated on or after May 1,
1993, the Corporate General Partner has determined that, it no longer will
purchase such loans except where the Corporate General Partner determines, in
its sole discretion, that it will do so. In 1996 the Partnership foreclosed on
an $870,000 loan and acquired title to the property providing security on the
loan. Thereafter, the Corporate General Partner purchased the property from the
Partnership for the amount of the loan by increasing the unsecured note payable
to the Partnership by such amount (see "Business-Unsecured Loan to Corporate
General Partner"). The Partnership foreclosed on another loan in the amount of
$1,450,000 and acquired title to the property providing security for the loan
also. The Corporate General Partner purchased the property from the Partnership,
and the Partnership carried back a loan in the same amount as the original loan
it had on the property prior to foreclosure. The loan is secured and due on
demand.
To date the Partnership has suffered no material losses on defaults or
foreclosures, partially due to the prior practice of the Corporate General
Partner to purchase loans from the Partnership which were at risk of causing a
loss to the Partnership and its practice to date to voluntarily absorb such
losses in very limited circumstances. Delinquent loans (defined as those loans
for which the borrower is 90 days late in payment of installments due) have
historically represented approximately 5-10% of the total loans that the
Partnership has outstanding at any given time. However, due to the continuing
practice of the Corporate General Partner to not purchase the Partnership's
receivables for delinquent interest on any delinquent loans originated on or
after May 1, 1993, and on the majority of delinquent loans originated prior to
May 1, 1993, the amount of nonperforming delinquent loans (i.e., loans
delinquent in payment over 90 days on which the Corporate General Partner
historically has not purchased the Partnership's receivables for delinquent
interest) has risen to $10,012,000 of the loan portfolio (6.5%). The Corporate
General Partner, in all likelihood, will not continue to make payments to the
Partnership on any delinquent loan originated prior to May 1, 1993 except in
limited situations. If the Corporate General Partner should discontinue making
purchases of delinquent interest receivables on additional delinquent loans
originated prior to May 1, 1993, or discontinue entirely its practice of
purchasing delinquent loans, there could be a further decrease in distributions.
Following is a table representing the Partnership's delinquency experience
(over 90 days) as of December 31, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996:

Allowance for Loan Losses
An allowance for loan losses of $3,500,000 and $3,250,000 is maintained
in the financial statements of the Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The General Partners believe that, based on historical experience
and a review of the loans and their respective collateral, the allowance for
loan losses as of December 31, 1996 is adequate in amount.
Unsecured Loan to Corporate General Partner
In 1996, in order to protect the Partnership from operating losses and
potential loss on disposition, the Corporate General Partner purchased a
property from the Partnership which the Partnership had foreclosed on by
increasing the amount of the unsecured loan from the Corporate General Partner
in the amount of $870,000, the original loan amount on the foreclosed property.
The Corporate General Partner disposed of the property in 1996 at a loss
carrying back a mortgage in the amount of $629,000. The Corporate General
Partner assigned this mortgage to the Partnership reducing the unsecured loan in
the same amount. The Corporate General Partner has made additional principal
payments against its unsecured loan aggregating $775,468 during 1996.
At December 31, 1996, the outstanding principal balance of the Corporate
General Partner's unsecured loan is $488,764. The loan is due upon demand, bears
interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and is expected to be repaid by April 30,
1997. The Corporate General Partner continues to make monthly payments of
principal and interest on this loan, and it is current.
Although the terms of the loan between the Partnership and the Corporate
General Partner may or may not be at market, they are considered fair and
reasonable.
Fee Structure
Management Fee's are payable to the Corporate General Partner on a
monthly basis at a maximum annual rate of 2 3/4% per annum on the average unpaid
balance of the Partnership's mortgage loans at the end of each of the 12 months
in the then current calendar year. This fee is reduced to 1 3/4% per annum if
the Corporate General Partner has not provided during the preceding calendar
year any of the following discretionary services: (1) advanced its own funds to
purchase the Partnership's interest receivable on delinquent mortgage loans; (2)
advanced its own funds to cover any other costs associated with delinquent loans
held by the Partnership, such as property taxes, insurance and legal expenses;
or (3) purchased any such defaulted loans from the Partnership. The Corporate
General Partner is entitled to collect the Management Fee on all loans,
including those that are delinquent. This is due to the added costs to the
Corporate General Partner associated with such loans including legal fees.
Servicing Fees charged for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996
were $384,000. Management Fees charged to the Partnership for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1996 were $867,000. During this same period, the maximum
Servicing Fees and Management Fees that could have been collected by the
Corporate General Partner were $389,000 and $4,278,000, respectively.
Principal Investment Objectives
The Partnership invests primarily in mortgage loans on commercial,
industrial and residential income producing real property, single-family
residences and land. The terms of each loan are negotiated on a loan-by-loan
basis by the Corporate General Partner.
The Partnership's two principal investment objectives in making
investments of the type described above are to: (i) preserve the capital of the
Partnership; and (ii) provide monthly cash distributions to the Limited
Partners. It is not an objective of the Partnership to provide tax-sheltered
income. The General Partners have the authority, subject to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement, to change the Partnership's investment objectives.
The Corporate General Partner locates and identifies all mortgages in
which the Partnership invests and makes all investment decisions on behalf of
the Partnership in its sole discretion. In evaluating prospective investments,
the Corporate General Partner considers such factors as the ratio of the amount
of the investment to the value of the property by which it is secured, the
property's potential for capital appreciation, expected levels of rental and
occupancy rates, current and projected cash flow of the property, potential for
rental increases, the degree of liquidity of the investment, geographic location
of the property, the condition and use of the property, its income-producing
capacity, the quality, experience and creditworthiness of the borrower, general
economic conditions in the area where the property is located, and any other
factors which the Corporate General Partner believes are relevant.
Almost all loans made or invested in by the Partnership are originated
by the Corporate General Partner. During the course of its business, the
Corporate General Partner is continuously evaluating prospective investments.
The Corporate General Partner will originate loans from referrals, brokerage
organizations, additional lending to previous borrowers and personal
solicitations of new borrowers. All potential mortgage loans to be made or
invested in are evaluated to determine if the mortgage loan is the type made by
the Partnership, if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meets
the standards established by the Partnership, and if the loan may be structured
in a manner to meet the Partnership's investment criteria and objectives. If the
Corporate General Partner approves the loan as presented, an appraisal will be
ordered on the property securing the loan, and the property will be inspected by
an officer, director, agent or employee of the Corporate General Partner.
The Partnership requires that the borrower obtain a title insurance
policy as to the priority of the mortgage and the condition of title. The
Partnership receives independent, on-site appraisals for each property in which
it invests. All independent appraisers used by the Partnership are licensed or
qualified as independent fee appraisers and are certified by the state in which
the property being appraised is located. Such appraisals will ordinarily take
into account factors including: property location; age; condition; estimated
building cost; community and site data; valuation of land; valuation by cost;
economic market analysis; valuation by income; and correlation of the foregoing
valuation methods. However, the General Partners generally rely on their own
independent analysis and not exclusively on such appraisals in determining
whether or not to arrange a particular mortgage loan.
Types of Mortgage Loans
As more fully described below, the Partnership makes and invests in
first, second, third and wraparound mortgage loans, construction loans on real
property, and loans on leasehold interests. The Partnership does not ordinarily
make or invest in mortgage loans with a maturity of more than 15 years. All
loans provide for monthly payments of interest and some also provide for
principal amortization, although many Partnership loans provide for payments of
interest only, with a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term.
The General Partners or their Affiliates do not originate loans with negative
amortization provisions.
First Mortgage Loans
First mortgage loans are secured by first deeds of trust on real
property. Such loans are generally for terms of from one year to 7 years. In
addition, such loans do not usually exceed 80% of the appraised value of
improved residential real property, 50% of the appraised value of unimproved
real property, and 70 - 75% of the appraised value of commercial property.
Second and Wrapround Mortgage Loans
Second and wraparound mortgage loans are invested in by the Partnership
on real property which is already subject to prior mortgage indebtedness, in an
amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed
70% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property. A wraparound loan is one
or more junior mortgage loans having principal amounts equal to the outstanding
balance under the existing mortgage loans plus the amount actually to be
advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Under a wraparound loan, the
Partnership generally makes principal and interest payments on behalf of the
borrower to the holders of the prior mortgage loans.
Third Mortgage Loans
Third mortgage loans are invested in by the Partnership on real
property which is already subject to prior first and second mortgage
indebtedness, in an amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does
not generally exceed 70% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property.
Construction Loans
Construction loans are loans made for the renovation of developed
property and for the development of undeveloped property. Construction loans
invested in by the Partnership are secured by first deeds of trust on real
property. Such loans are generally for terms of from six months to 2 years. In
addition, if the mortgaged property is being developed, the amount of such loans
does not generally exceed 70% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property,
as developed.
Generally the Partnership will not disburse funds with respect to a
particular construction loan until work in the previous phase of the project on
which the loan is made has been completed and an independent inspector has
verified the quality of construction and adherence to the construction plans,
and reviewed the estimated cost of completing the project. In addition, the
Partnership generally requires the submission of signed labor and material lien
releases by the borrower in connection with each completed phase of the project
prior to rnaking any periodic disbursements of proceeds of the loan to the
borrower.
Leasehold Interest Loans
Loans on leasehold interests are secured by an assignment of the
borrower's leasehold interest in the particular real property. Such loans are
generally for terms of from six months to 15 years. Leasehold interest loans
generally do not exceed 70% of the value of the leasehold interest and are
accompanied by personal guarantees of the borrowers. The leasehold interest
loans either are amortized over a period which is shorter than the lease term or
have a maturity date prior to the date the lease terminates. These loans all
contain provisions allowing the Corporate General Partner to cure any default
under the lease.
Variable Rate Loans
Approximately $63,105,000 (40.9%) of the Partnership's loan portfolio as
of December 31, 1996, contain a variable interest rate feature. The variable
rate loans originated by the General Partners use as indices the one and five
year Treasury Constant Maturity Index, the Prime Rate Index and the Monthly
Weighted Average Cost of Funds Index for Eleventh District Savings Institutions
(Federal Home Loan Bank Board).
Premiums over the above described indices have varied from 250-550 basis
points depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made. Generally,
an index based upon the prime rate or Treasury Bill rate is the most volatile,
while an index based upon the cost of funds is the most stable.
From January 1, 1996, through December 31, 1996, the one year Treasury
Constant Maturity Index has increased from 5.21% to 5.50%, the five-year
Treasury Constant maturity Index has increased from 5.44% to 6.12%, the Prime
Rate Index decreased from 8.50% to 8.25% and the Monthly Weighted Average Cost
of Funds Index for the Eleventh District Savings Institutions has decreased from
5.12% to 4.84%.
It is possible that the interest rate index used in a variable rate loan
will rise (or fall) more slowly than the rate of competing investments available
to the Partnership. The General Partners attempt to minimize such differential
by tying variable rate loans to indices that are more sensitive to fluctuations
in market rates. In addition, most variable rate loans originated by the
Corporate General Partner contain provisions under which the interest rate
cannot fall below the starting rate.
Interest Rate Caps
Interest rate caps are found in all variable rate loans originated by the
Corporate General Partner. The interest rate cap most frequently used is a 4%
ceiling and a floor equal to the starting rate. The inherent risk in interest
rate caps occurs when general market interest rates exceed the cap rate.
Assumability
Variable rate loans of 5 to 10 year maturities, are generally not
assumable without the prior consent of the General Partners. The Partnership
does not typically make or invest in other assumable loans. To minimize risk to
the investors, any borrower assuming a loan is subject to the same stringent
underwriting criteria as the original borrower.
Prepayment Penalties
The Partnership's loans typically do not contain a prepayment penalty. If
the Partnership's loans are at a high rate of interest in a market of falling
interest rates, the failure to have a prepayment penalty provision in the loan
allows the borrower to refinance the loan at a lower rate of interest, thus
providing a lower yield to the Partnership on the reinvestment of the prepayment
proceeds. However, as of December 31, 1996, $63,105,000 (approximately 40.9%) of
the mortgage loans held in the Partnership's portfolio were variable rate loans
which by their terms generally will have lower interest rates in a market of
falling interest rates, thereby providing lower yields to the Partnership.
However, these loans are written with relatively high minimum interest rates,
which generally operates to reduce this risk of lower yields.
Balloon Payment
A majority of the loans made or invested in by the Partnership require the
borrower to make a "balloon payment" on the principal amount upon maturity of
the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay a mortgage loan
in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be
dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or
otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, such loans involve a
higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans.
Equity Interests and Participation In Real Property
As part of investing in or making a mortgage loan the Partnership may
acquire an equity interest in the real property securing the loan in the form of
a shared appreciation interest or other equity participation.
The Partnership also may invest its funds directly in real property, if in
the opinion of the General Partners, it is in the Partnership's best interest.
See "Business-Real Estate Owned." No other properties (other than those that may
be subject to foreclosure by the Partnership or a senior lender) are currently
under review for acquisition by the Partnership.
Standards for Mortgage Loans
In arranging mortgage loans, the Corporate General Partner considers
relevant real property and financial factors, including the condition and use of
the property, its income-producing capacity and the quality, experience, and
creditworthiness of the borrower.
The Partnership does not normally invest in mortgage loans secured by
multifamily residential property or commercial property unless the net annual
estimated cash flow after vacancy, operating expense, and mortgage debt service
deductions on senior liens equals or exceeds the annual payments required on the
mortgage loan. In addition, the Partnership limits the amount of its investment
in any single mortgage loan, and the amount of its investment in mortgage loans
to any one borrower, to 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the
loan is made.
Mortgage Loans to Affiliates
The Partnership will not invest in mortgage loans to any of the General
Partners, Affiliates of the General Partners, or any limited partnership or
entity affiliated with or organized by the General Partners. However, the
Partnership may have an investment in a mortgage loan to the General Partners
when the Corporate General Partner assumes by foreclosure the obligations of the
borrower under a mortgage loan. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had
secured loans outstanding to the Corporate General Partner of $1,942,332.
Purchase of Loans from Affiliates
Although the Partnership has never done so, the Partnership may purchase
loans from the General Partners or their Affiliates that were originated by the
General Partners or their Affiliates and held for such party's own portfolio, as
long as any such loan is not in default and as long as such loan otherwise
satisfies all of the requirements set forth above. In addition, if such loan was
not made by the maker of the loan within the 90 days prior to its purchase by
the Partnership from the General Partners or their Affiliates, the General
Partners or their Affiliates, respectively, shall retain a minimum of a 10%
interest in such loan.
Borrowing
The Partnership has not incurred indebtedness for the purpose of investing
in mortgage loans. However, the Partnership may incur indebtedness in order to
prevent default under mortgage loans which are senior to the Partnership's
mortgage loans or to discharge such senior mortgage loans if this becomes
necessary to protect the Partnership's investment in mortgage loans. Such
short-term indebtedness may be with recourse to the Partnership's assets. In
addition, although the Partnership has not historically had to do so, the
Partnership may incur indebtedness in order to assist in the operation or
development of a property securing a mortgage loan that the Partnership takes
over as a result of default on the loan or foreclosure.
Sale and Repayment of Mortgages
The Partnership invests in mortgage loans and does not engage in real
estate operations or real estate developments (other than when such operations
are required when the Partnership forecloses on a loan in which it has made an
investment or takes over management of such foreclosed property), and does not
invest in mortgage loans primarily for sale or other disposition in the ordinary
course of business. The Partnership may require a borrower to repay the mortgage
loan upon sale of the mortgaged property if the General Partners determine that
such repayment appears to be advantageous to the Partnership based upon
then-current interest rates, the length of time that the loan has been held by
the Partnership, and the objectives of the Partnership. The net proceeds to the
Partnership from any such sale or repayment are invested in new mortgage loans
or distributed to the Partners at such times and in such intervals as the
General Partners in their sole discretion determine.
No Trust or Investment Company Activities
The Partnership has not qualified as a real estate investment trust under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, therefore, is not subject to
the restrictions on its activities imposed on real estate investment trusts. The
Partnership is not subject to registration as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. It is the intention of the Partnership to
conduct its business in such manner as not to be deemed a "dealer" in mortgage
loans for federal income tax purposes.
Miscellaneous Policies and Procedures
The Partnership will not: (i) issue securities senior to the Units or
issue any Units or other securities for other than cash; (ii) invest in the
securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control; (iii)
underwrite securities of other issuers; or (iv) offer securities in exchange for
property. No single Partnership loan may exceed 10% of the total Partnership
assets as of the date that a loan is made.
Competition and General Economic Conditions
The Partnership's major competitors in providing mortgage loans secured by
deeds of trust on income producing and residential property are banks, savings
and loan associations, thrifts, conduit lenders, and other entities both larger
and smaller than the Partnership. The Partnership is competitive in large part
because the Corporate General Partner generates all of its loans. The Corporate
General Partner has been in the business of making or investing in mortgage
loans in Northern California for more than 40 years and has developed a quality
reputation and recognition within the field.
In the past few years, the major institutional lenders had not been as
active in the commercial mortgage market as in past years. In fact, some
institutional lenders discontinued their commercial lending practice completely.
Recently, however, many major institutional lenders have reentered the
commercial mortgage market due to a stronger economy, stabilized property values
and leasing rates and the decrease in demand for residential loans. This has
created increased competition to the Partnership for investments in mortgages
secured by commercial properties, creating downward pressure on interest rates.
As such, interest rates of mortgage investments held by the Partnership may drop
in the near future, reducing the net yield earned by the Limited Partners.
In past years, due to general economic conditions, the commercial real
estate market in California had experienced decreases in both values and rental
rates and an increase in vacancy rates. These conditions prompted the Corporate
General Partner to apply stricter underwriting standards. The Corporate General
Partner continues to apply relatively low loan-to-value ratios as a practice in
making mortgage loans.
Item 2. Properties
As of May 1, 1993, the Corporate General Partner changed its policy so as
to generally not purchase mortgage loans from the Partnership prior to
foreclosures. Subsequent to this change in policy, the Partnership acquired
title to four properties through foreclosure on which it had loans totaling
$4,233,000 during 1996. One of these properties, which provided security on a
$1,450,000 Partnership loan, was sold to the Corporate General Partner, at no
loss of principal to the Partnership, in exchange for a note secured by the
property. Another property, which provided security on an $870,000 Partnership
loan, was sold to the Corporate General Partner at no loss of principal to the
Partnership in exchange for an unsecured note (see "Business-Unsecured Loan to
Corporate General Partner").
During 1996, the Partnership (1) disposed of a property which originally
provided security for a $29,855 loan at no loss of principal, (2) disposed of a
property which orignally provided the primary security for a loan in the amount
of $661,531 and received net proceeds from the sale of $619,452 and (3) received
a personal judgment against a borrower in the amount of $300,000 on a property
which originally provided secuirty on a $850,000 loan.
The Partnership continues to own its interest in the development limited
partnership that owns the residential lots in Carmel Valley, California (see
"Development Partnership," below) and to hold title to the following 10
properties as of December 31, 1996:

(1) Approximately $989,000 of the aggregate delinquent interest receivable due
to the Partnership or to the senior lienholder at foreclosure was
purchased from the Partnership or advanced to the senior lienholder, if
applicable, by the Corporate General Partner. Except for $83,949 that was
reimbursed by the Partnership in connection with the Vallejo, California
property, the Partnership has not reimbursed or repurchased receivables
from the Corporate General Partner for any amounts, has no rights to any
subsequent repayments of these amounts and has no obligation to reimburse
the Corporate General Partner for such advances or repurchase any
receivables purchased by the Corporate General Partner.
(2) The delinquent interest receivable was purchased by the Corporate General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership, which holds a 70% interest in the
property and on behalf of the co-owner of the property, an independent,
third-party. Under applicable law, the Partnership could only repurchase
such receivable if all other lenders/owners of the property repurchased
their respective receivables. Consequently, the Partnership repurchased
from the Corporate General Partner $83,949 of the interest receivable
purchased by the Corporate General Partner, although it was not obligated
to do so. The remaining $38,550 of the delinquent interest receivable
purchased by the Corporate General Partner was paid by the other owner of
the property.
(3) This senior loan was originally $2,102,646 including late charges and
fees. The Corporate General Partner arranged for this loan to be
discounted to $1,425,000 if the Partnership were to pay it off in full.
The Partnership paid this loan off prior to March 31, 1995.
(4) The original loan was in the amount of $850,000 but was paid down by
$300,000 due to a personal judgment against the borrower acquired through
judicial foreclosure.

The light industrial warehouse located in Merced, California is
currently leased and is listed with a real estate broker for sale. The
Partnership may sustain a loss on this property and has recorded a $350,000
allowance for loss on this property in its financial statements as of December
31, 1996.
The commercial lot located in Sacramento, California is currently listed
with a real estate broker for sale. The Partnership may sustain a loss on this
property and has recorded a $250,000 allowance for loss on this property in its
financial statements as of December 31, 1996.
The light industrial warehouse located in Emeryville, California currently
generates revenue from tenants and a commercial sign which is located on the
property. The property was disposed of at a slight profit in January 1997.
The Partnership is in the process of obtaining development rights on the
parcels in Vallejo, California. The Partnership has brought suit against Solano
County and three local cities in association with this process.
The majority of the office building located in Monterey, California is
leased to a publicly traded company. The Corporate General Partner expects the
Partnership to be able to operate this property profitability, lease up the
remaining space and place the property on the market for sale.
The commercial building in Sacramento is on the market for sale. In
addition, the Partnership obtained a personal judgment of $300,000 through a
judicial foreclosure proceeding against the former borrower on this property.
The Corporate General Partner does not expect the Partnership to suffer any loss
on this property.
The developed land in Los Gatos, California, currently consists of a small
building that is leased out. The value in this property, however, would be with
a larger commercial building. As such, the Corporate General Partner is
evaluating the possibility of the Partnership constructing and either selling or
leasing an office building on the property. In the meantime, the Corporate
General Partner continues to negotiate a sale with several potential buyers.
The single family residence located in Campbell, California was disposed
of in January 1997, at no loss to the Partnership.
There are 42 finished lots and 92 tentative mapped lots in the Sonora,
California subdivision. The Corporate General Partner is researching the
Partnership's options for disposing of these lots without risking additional
capital of the Partnership.
The Partnership successfully rezoned the Reno lot from commercial to high
density residential suitable for apartment construction. The Partnership likely
will either build out the lot or sell it to a developer.
With the possible exceptions of the industrial warehouse located in
Merced, California and the commercial lot located in Sacramento, California, the
General Partners believe that due to the values of the properties owned by the
Partnership, the Partnership should not sustain any material losses of principal
on the ultimate disposition of these properties. The Partnership, however, has
maintained a reserve for losses on real estate in its financial statements of
$600,000 as of December 31, 1996.
Development Limited Partnership
In 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on a $600,000 loan secured by a junior
lien on 30 residential lots located in Carmel Valley, California, and, in 1994,
paid off the $500,000 senior loan. In 1995, the Partnership became the sole
limited partner in a limited partnership formed with an unrelated
developer/builder as the sole general partner, for the development and buildout
of these lots. In exchange for its interest in this development limited
partnership, the Partnership in 1996 contributed the lots to the development
limited partnership and agreed to make additional advances to fund the
development costs. As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had advanced
development costs aggregating $2,740,000, and the total amount invested in or
advanced by the Partnership equaled $4,750,000, net of distributions through
such date.
Under the terms of the agreement governing the development limited
partnership, the Partnership is entitled to receive certain distributions of
cash before the developer receives any funds. The cash received by the
development limited partnership from sales of developed lots is distributed as
follows: (i) to third parties (e.g., contractors, taxing authorities, etc.) for
amounts incurred by the development limited partnership and related to the lots
sold; (ii) to the Partnership, in an amount equal to $70,000 per lot sold; (iii)
to the Partnership, in an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the development
costs advanced, plus interest at prime plus 2%; (iv) to the Partnership, in an
amount equal to other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Partnership with
respect to the lots sold, plus interest at prime plus 2%; and (v) the balance,
if any, 70% to the Partnership, and 30% to the developer.
The development limited partnership intends to build single-family
residences of between approximately 2,200 and 2,800 square feet on the lots. At
February 28, 1997, construction had been completed or commenced on 16 lots. In
1996, one developed lot was sold and $478,679 was distributed (capital and
income) to the Partnership. Five homes were sold during the first two months of
1997 and $2,388,239 was distributed to the Partnership. Deposits have been
received on the remaining 10 lots, but there can be no assurances the
Partnership will realize similar amounts on the sales of these lots.
Construction is expected to begin on the majority of the remaining 14 lots
during 1997.
The Corporate General Partner has entered into a joint venture with the
same unrelated developer/builder to purchase and build out up to 34 lots that
are contiguous to and interspersed with the lots in Carmel Valley owned by the
partnership formed between the Partnership and the developer/builder. The
Partnership does not have any direct or indirect interest in these 34 lots nor
do any of these lots provide any security for the original Partnership loan
which was foreclosed on in 1993. As sales of these 34 lots occur, the
development limited partnership will be reimbursed on a pro rata basis, without
interest, for development, infrastructure and soft costs incurred by the
development limited partnership in the initial stages of its development of the
lots. Upon receipt of any such funds the development limited partnership will
distribute monies as outlined above.
Reserve for Losses on Real Estate Held for Sale
The Partnership has recorded a reserve of $600,000 for losses on real
estate held for sale in the financial statements of the Partnership as of
December 31, 1996. The General Partners believe that this allowance is adequate.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is not presently involved in any material pending legal
proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
The net income increase of $1,267,000 (9.4%) for 1996 as compared to 1995
was attributable to (i) the increase in mortgage investments held by the
Partnership from $151,351,000 to $154,149,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, (ii) the decrease in management fees from $1,432,000 to $867,000,
at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996, respectively, and (iii) the decrease
in provision for losses on loans and real estate held for sale from $700,000 to
$250,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The net
income increase in 1996, as compared to 1995, was negatively affected by (i) the
increase in net operating loss from real estate held for sale from $224,000 to
$310,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and (ii)
an increase in nonperforming loans from $8,309,000 to $10,012,000 as of December
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Nonperforming loans for the purposes of this
discussion and analysis are defined as those loans which are 90 days or more
delinquent in payment and on which the Corporate General Partner historically
has not purchased the related Partnership receivables for delinquent interest
payments to the Partnership.
The net income increase of $782,000 (6.2%) for 1995 as compared to 1994
was primarily attributable to the increase in mortgage investments held by the
Partnership from $145,050,000 to $151,351,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. The net income increase for 1995 as compared to 1996 was
negatively affected by (i) the addition to reserves for loan losses of $500,000
and losses on real estate held for sale of $200,000 in its financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1995, and (ii) the increase in nonperforming
loans from $4,923,000 to $8,309,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. All income was derived from investments in mortgage loans and
short-term interest-bearing accounts, notes receivable from the Corporate
General Partner and income from Real Estate Held For Sale.
The Partnership has experienced a decrease in its average net yield per
Unit from 8.88% in 1994 to 8.79% and 8.72% in 1995 and 1996, respectively. The
average net yield represents the net income of the Partnership after all
expenses, other than the provision for losses on loans or real estate held for
sale. If the provisions for losses on loans or real estate held for sale are
included, the Partnership experienced a decrease in its average yield per Unit
from 8.60% to 8.31% in 1994 and 1995, respectively, and an increase in average
yield per Unit from 8.31% to 8.58% in 1995 and 1996, respectively. The decrease
was the result of the overall decrease in general market rates and changes in
the Corporate General Partner's policies regarding purchasing delinquent
interest receivables, purchasing loans subject to foreclosure and purchasing at
foreclosure sale certain properties which provided security for Partnership
loans. The amount of nonperforming loans held by the Partnership has increased
from $8,309,000 (5.49% of loan portfolio) to $10,012,000 (6.50% of loan
portfolio) as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, due to the
diminishing amount of loans for which the Corporate General Partner purchases
delinquent interest receivables. However, the yield decreases have been
partially offset due to a decrease in the management fees paid to the Corporate
General Partner from $1,475,000 for 1994 to $1,432,000 and $867,000 for 1995 and
1996, respectively. These represent decreases in the annualized rate of
management fees to total trust deed investments of the Partnership from 1.07% in
1994 to 0.95% and 0.56% for 1995 and 1996, respectively. Due to the increase in
nonperforming loans and the general decrease in market interest rates, the
Corporate General Partner has in the past voluntarily reduced the fees it
collects in order to maximize the yield to investors. The fees taken by the
Corporate General Partner are well within the limitations on such fees as
imposed by the Partnership Agreement. The Corporate General Partner has not yet
determined the level of management fees for 1997.
Loan Portfolio
The number of Partnership mortgage investments have fluctuated from 254 as
of December 31, 1994 to 238 as of December 31, 1995, and to 240 as of December
31, 1996. The average loan balance in these periods increased from $571,064 in
1994 to $635,927 and $639,622 in 1995 and 1996, respectively. These average loan
balance increases reflect the Partnership's increased ability to invest in
larger mortgage loans meeting the Partnership's objectives.
The Partnership's loan portfolio consists primarily of short-term (1-7
years), fixed and variable rate loans secured by real estate. As of December 31,
1996, the Partnership's loans secured by deeds of trust on real property
collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 69%
($106,403,000) of the loan portfolio.
As of December 31, 1996, approximately 95% of the loan portfolio was
invested in loans on income-producing property, 3% in land loans and 2% in
residential loans. Also, as of December 31, 1996, approximately 90% of the loan
portfolio was invested in first deeds of trust, 9% in second deeds of trust and
1% in third and all-inclusive deeds of trust.
The following table sets forth the principal amount of mortgage
investments, by classification of property securing each loan, held by the
Partnership as of December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively:

</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1996, there were delinquent loans aggregating
$10,012,000 for which the Corporate General Partner has elected not to purchase
delinquent interest receivables. As of December 31, 1996, the Corporate General
Partner continued to purchase from the Partnership receivables for delinquent
interest related to $1,336,000 of delinquent loans held by the Partnership that
were originated or invested in prior to May 1, 1993.
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of borrowers are
engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic
region, or when a number of loans are secured by property in the same geographic
region that would cause the ability of the borrowers to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. As of
December 31, 1996, the Partnership's loans secured by deeds of trust on real
property collateral located in Northern California (defined as those counties
north of and including Monterey, Kings, Fresno, Tulare and Inyo counties)
totaled approximately 69% ($106,403,000) of the loan portfolio as compared to
79% ($120,744,000) as of December 31, 1995. The Northern California region is a
large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of
borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the strength of the region and the
impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate. Such loans
are secured by deeds of trust in real estate properties and are expected to be
repaid from the cash flow of the properties or proceeds from the sale or
refinancing of the properties. The policy of the Partnership is to require real
property collateral with a value, net of senior indebtedness, that exceeds the
carrying amount of the loan balance and to record a deed of trust on the
underlying property.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's loans secured by deeds of
trust on income producing properties totaled approximately 90% ($146,000,000) of
the loan portfolio. However, no particular industry represents a significant
portion of such loans.
In 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on a $600,000 loan and obtained title
to 30 lots in Carmel Valley, California, subject to a senior loan in the amount
of $500,000. In 1994, the Partnership paid off the senior loan. In 1995, the
Partnership entered into a development limited partnership with an unrelated
builder/developer for the purpose of constructing single-family residences on
the lots, and, in 1996, the Partnership contributed the lots to the development
limited partnership. The development limited partnership is the only investment
of this nature in which Partnership funds are invested.
The Partnership is obligated to fund the costs of developing the lots. At
December 31, 1996, the Partnership had advanced an aggregate of $3,387,500
toward the development of the lots, compared to $671,000 at December 31, 1995,
and $0 at December 31, 1994. These figures do not include $390,298 of costs
relating to the lots and paid by the Partnership prior to contributing the lots
to the development limited partnership. At December 31, 1996, one of the
developed lots sold, and the Partnership received distributions of capital and
income aggregating $478,679 from the development limited partnership. During the
period January 1, 1997, through February 28, 1997, the development limited
partnership sold five additional developed lots and distributed $2,338,239 to
the Partnership. See "Properties -Development Limited Partnership" for a
discussion of this investment.
Asset Quality
A consequence of lending activities is that losses will be experienced and
that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time depending upon the
risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions
and the financial experiences of borrowers. There is no precise method of
predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on
particular segments of the loan portfolio, especially in light of the current
economic environment.
The conclusion that a Partnership loan may become uncollectible, in whole
or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although institutional lenders are subject
to requirements and regulations, that among other things, require a lender to
perform ongoing analyses of its portfolio, loan to value ratio, reserves, etc.,
and to obtain and maintain current information regarding its borrowers and the
securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has
not adopted these practices. Rather, the Corporate General Partner, in
connection with the periodic closing of the accounting records of the
Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, causes an
evaluation of the mortgage loan portfolio of the Partnership to be performed by
management and independent auditors. Based upon this evaluation, a determination
is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover
potential loan losses of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, management
has determined that the allowance for loan losses of $3,500,000 is adequate in
amount. As of December 31, 1996, loans secured by trust deeds include
$11,348,000 in loans delinquent over 90 days of which $5,046,000 was invested in
loans which were in the process of foreclosure and $3,156,000 involves loans to
borrowers that are in bankruptcy.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to cover possible loan
losses is determined only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including
consideration of:
* Economic conditions;
* Borrower's financial condition;
* Evaluation of industry trends;
* Review and evaluation of potential problem loans identified as
having loss potential; and
* Quarterly review by Board of Directors.
Nonperforming Loans
The amount of nonperforming loans increased from $8,309,000 (5.5% of the
mortgage loan portfolio) as of December 31, 1995 to $10,012,000 (6.5% of the
mortgage loan portfolio as of December 31, 1996. This increase is due to the
increase in nonperforming loans originated prior to May 1, 1993, from $5,052,000
as of December 31, 1995, to $7,505,000 as of December 31, 1996. The amount of
nonperforming loans originated on or after May 1, 1993 decreased from $3,257,000
as of December 31, 1995 to $2,453,000 as of December 31, 1996. The amount of
loans that were originated on or after May 1, 1993, and subject to the Corporate
General Partners revised policy regarding purchasing delinquent interest
receivables totaled approximately $121,693,000 or 79% of the total trust deed
portfolio as of December 31, 1996. As such, an ever increasing percentage of the
Partnership's trust deed investments are in loans in which the Corporate General
Partner has a policy to not purchase delinquent interest receivables. Should the
delinquency rate on these loans increase, the interest income received by the
Partnership would be reduced. As of December 31, 1996, of the loans held by the
Partnership which were originated prior to May 1, 1993, 23% were nonperforming
while, of the loans held by the Partnership which were originated on or after
May 1, 1993, only 2% were nonperforming. This is due in large part to the fact
that, historically, the older the loan, the more likely it is to be delinquent.
The Partnership has the following amount of loans delinquent in payment
by greater than 90 days:

During 1996 the Corporate General Partner foreclosed on and acquired
title to two properties which provided security to the Partnership for loans in
the amount of $2,320,000. One of the properties foreclosed on by the Partnership
and purchased by the Corporate General Partner in 1996 that provided security
for a loan in the amount of $870,000 was disposed of by the Corporate General
Partner during 1996 at a principal loss to the Corporate General Partner of
$205,000. Carryback financing on the sale of this property of $629,000 was
assigned to the Partnership to reduce the Corporate General Partner's obligation
under its unsecured note. See "Business-Unsecured Loan to Corporate General
Partner". The other property foreclosed on by the Partnership and purchased by
the Corporate General Partner in 1996 provided security for a loan in the amount
of $1,450,000, was purchased by delivering a secured note in the same amount,
and was still held by the Corporate General Partner as of December 31, 1996. As
a result thereof, the Corporate General Partner owns three properties on which
the Partnership currently has mortgage loans totaling $1,942,332 as of December
31, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership relies upon purchases of Units and loan payoffs for the
source of capital for mortgage investments. Although general market interest
rates have most recently declined, a substantial increase in such rates could
have an adverse affect on the Partnership. If general market interest rates were
to increase substantially, the yield on the Partnership's mortgage investments
may provide lower yields than other comparable debt-related investments. As
such, additional Limited Partner investment into the Partnership could decline,
which, in turn, would reduce the liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership
has not and does not intend to borrow money for investment purposes. See
"Business--Borrowing."
There has been little variation in the percentage of capital
withdrawals to total capital invested by the limited partners in recent years
excluding distributions of net income to limited partners. This withdrawal
percentage has been 7.37%, 6.11% and 7.80% for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These percentages are calculated by
averaging, on an annual basis, the sum of the capital withdrawals for each
calendar quarter divided by the total limited partner capital as of the end of
each quarter. Management of the Partnership does not expect the trend of capital
withdrawals in relation to total capital invested to change substantially in
subsequent periods.
The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from the
Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding capital accounts within
91 days after written notices are delivered to the general partners, subject to
the following limitations:
Any such payments are required to be made only from cash available for
distribution, net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined)
during said 91-day period.
A maximum of $75,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any calendar
quarter (or $100,000 in the case of a deceased limited partner).
The general partners are not required to establish a reserve fund for
the purpose of funding such payments.
No more than 10% of the outstanding limited partnership interest may
be withdrawn during any calendar year except upon dissolution of the
Partnership.

OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND
(a California limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(1) Organization
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund (the Partnership), a California limited
partnership, was formed on June 14, 1984 to invest in loans secured by
first, second and third trust deeds, wraparound and construction
mortgage loans and leasehold interest mortgages. The Partnership
commenced operations on the date of formation and will continue until
December 31, 2034 unless dissolved prior thereto under the provisions
of the partnership agreement.
The general partners include Owens Financial Group, Inc. (OFG) and
certain individuals who are OFG's shareholders and officers. The
individual partners have assigned to OFG their interest in any present
or future promotional allowance from the Partnership. OFG is a
California corporation engaged in the origination of real estate
mortgage loans for eventual sale and the subsequent servicing of those
mortgages for the Partnership and other third-party investors.
The general partners are authorized to offer and sell units in the
Partnership up to an aggregate of 250,000,000 units outstanding at
$1.00 per unit, representing $250,000,000 of limited partnership
interests in the Partnership. Limited partnership units outstanding
were 175,303,398, 163,316,937 and 150,554,388 at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Management 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.
(b) Loans Secured by Trust Deeds
Loans secured by trust deeds are acquired from OFG and are
recorded at cost. Interest income on loans is accrued by the
simple interest method.
<PAGE>
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and No. 118, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and
Disclosures. Under Statement No. 114, a loan is impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect the contractual interest and
principal payments of a loan according to the contractual terms
of the loan agreement. Statement No. 114 requires that impaired
loans be measured on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Statement No. 118 clarifies interest income
recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement No. 114. The
adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on
the financial statements of the Partnership.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. Statement
125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities and provides consistent standards for distinguishing
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings. The Partnership will be required to
implement Statement 125 effective January 1, 1997. Management
believes that the implementation of Statement 125 will not have
a material impact on the financial statements.
The Partnership recognizes interest income on impaired loans
using the cash-basis method of accounting. Cash receipts are
allocated to interest income, except when such payments are
specifically designated as principal reduction or when
management does not believe the Partnership's investment in the
loan is fully recoverable.
(c) Allowance for Loan Losses
The Partnership maintains an allowance for loan losses equal to
$3,500,000 and $3,250,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management of the Partnership believes that based
on historical experience and a review of the loans and their
respective collateral, the allowance for loan losses is adequate
in amount.
Through October 31, 1994, OFG purchased the Partnership's
receivables for delinquent interest on loans originated prior to
May 1, 1993 from the Partnership on a non-recourse basis.
However, effective November 1, 1994, OFG discontinued its
practice of purchasing interest receivable for certain loans.
The outstanding balance of all loans delinquent greater than
ninety days is $11,348,000 and $12,037,000 as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The Partnership discontinues the
accrual of interest on loans when, in the opinion of management,
there is significant doubt as to the collectibility of interest
or principal from the borrower or when the payment of principal
or interest is ninety days past due, unless OFG purchases the
interest receivable from the Partnership. As of December 31,
1996 and 1995, the aforementioned loans totaling $11,348,000 and
$12,037,000, respectively, are classified as non-accrual loans.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
OFG advances certain payments to the Partnership on behalf of
borrowers, such as property taxes, mortgage interest pursuant to
senior indebtedness, and development costs. Purchases of
interest receivable and payments made on loans by OFG during
1996 and 1995, but not collected as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, totaled approximately $541,000 and $1,218,000,
respectively. During 1995, OFG purchased the Partnership's
receivable related to a shortfall in the discounted payoff of a
Partnership loan in the amount of $525,000 and purchased the
Partnership's interest in loans in the amount of $377,000.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

equivalents include interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing
bank deposits and short-term certificates of deposit with
original maturities of three months or less.
(e) Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of deposit are held with various financial
institutions with original maturities of up to one year.
(f) Investment in Limited Partnership
The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited
partnership as investment in real estate. The limited
partnership investment is carried at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The
Partnership increases its investment by advances made to the
limited partnership. Any profit generated from the investment in
limited partnership is recorded as a gain on sale of real
estate.
(g) Real Estate Held for Sale
Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through
foreclosure and is carried at the lower of the recorded
investment in the loan, inclusive of any senior indebtedness, or
the property's estimated fair value, less estimated costs to
sell.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The adoption of FAS 121 did
not result in a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position.
(h) Income Taxes
No provision is made for income taxes since the Partnership is
not a taxable entity. Accordingly, any income or loss is
included in the tax returns of the partners.

weighted average cost of funds index for Eleventh District savings
institutions (4.84% as of December 31, 1996). Premiums over these
indices have varied from 250-550 basis points depending upon market
conditions at the time the loan is made.
<PAGE>
(3) Loans Secured by Trust Deeds, Continued
The scheduled maturities for 1997 include approximately $22,603,000 of
loans which are past maturity as of December 31, 1996, of which
$7,005,000 represents loans for which interest payments are delinquent
over 90 days. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
the Partnership refinanced loans totaling $5,400,000, $19,466,000 and
$11,266,000, respectively, thereby extending the maturity dates of such
loans.
The Partnership's total investment in loans delinquent over 90 days is
$11,348,000 and $12,037,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. OFG has purchased the Partnership's receivables for
delinquent interest of $173,000, $456,000 and $3,003,000 related to
delinquent loans for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
The Partnership's investment in delinquent loans as of December 31,
1996 totals approximately $11,348,000, of which $8,029,000 has a
specific related allowance for credit losses totaling approximately
$2,500,000. There is a non-specific allowance for credit losses of
$1,000,000 for the remaining balance of $3,319,000. The only activity
in the allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31,
1996 was an addition to the allowance of $250,000.
Interest income received on impaired loans during the year ended
December 31, 1996 totaled approximately $691,000, $518,000 of which was
paid by borrowers and $173,000 of which related to purchases of
interest receivable by OFG.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership's loans secured by
deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern
California totaled approximately 69% ($106,403,384) and 79%
($120,744,304), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern
California region (which includes the following counties and all
counties north: Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo) is a large
geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of
borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the
region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of
real estate. Such loans are secured by deeds of trust in real estate
properties and are expected to be repaid from the cash flow of the
properties or proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the properties.
The policy of the Partnership is to require real property collateral
with a value, net of senior indebtedness, that exceeds the carrying
amount of the loan balance and to record a deed of trust on the
underlying property.
(4) Unsecured Loan Due from General Partner
During 1995, OFG purchased the Partnership's receivable related to a
shortfall in the discounted pay-off of a mortgage and was foreclosed
out of the second position by the holder of the first deed of trust on
a Partnership loan purchased in 1995. The purchase of the receivable
and the loan in the amount of $902,000 was added to the outstanding
balance of the unsecured loan due from general partner.
<PAGE>
(4) Unsecured Loan Due from General Partner, Continued
During 1996, the Partnership sold a property to OFG which had been
acquired through foreclosure proceedings by the Partnership on a
Partnership loan. The purchase of the property in the amount of
$870,000 was added to the outstanding balance of the unsecured loan due
from general partner. OFG sold the property during 1996 for $21,700 in
cash and a trust deed receivable in the amount of $629,000. The trust
deed receivable was assigned by OFG to the Partnership in exchange for
a reduction in the unsecured loan balance.
OFG is under no obligation to enter into such transactions with the
Partnership.
The balance of the unsecured loan due from the general partner has been
reduced by payments and totals $488,764 and $1,023,232 as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The note bears interest at 8% and is
due on demand.
(5) Investment in Limited Partnership
In 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on a loan in the amount of $600,000
secured by a junior lien on 30 residential lots located in Carmel
Valley, California, and in 1994, paid off the senior loan in the amount
of $500,000. The Partnership incurred additional costs of $502,798 to
protect its investment, increasing the carrying value of the lots to
$1,602,798. The Partnership began to develop the lots and incurred an
additional $671,118 in costs during 1995.
During 1996, the Partnership contributed the lots into WV-OMIF
Partners, L.P. (WV-OMIF Partners), a limited partnership formed between
the Partnership and Wood Valley Development, Inc. (Woodvalley). The
Partnership also provides advances to WV-OMIF Partners to develop and
construct single family homes on the 30 lots contributed. The
Partnership is entitled to receive interest at a rate of prime plus 2%
on the advances to WV-OMIF Partners.
OFG and Woodvalley have the option of purchasing and developing 34
similar lots which are interspersed among the 30 lots being developed
by WV-OMIF Partners. WV-OMIF Partners is incurring the infrastructure
costs which benefit all 64 lots, including the 34 lots that can be
developed by OFG and Woodvalley. As of December 31, 1996, Woodvalley
had purchased twelve lots. The remaining 22 lots are expected to be
purchased during fiscal years 1997 and 1998. OFG and Woodvalley are
expected to reimburse WV-OMIF Partners their pro rata share of the
infrastructure costs with the funds received from the sale of the
developed homes.
During 1996, the Partnership advanced an additional $2,841,836 to
WV-OMIF Partners for the continued development and construction of the
homes. WV-OMIF Partners sold one home in 1996 and distributed $237,954
to OMIF.
<PAGE>
(5) Investment in Limited Partnership, Continued
WV-OMIF Partners is distributing cash received from the sale of the
lots in the following priority: (1) to third parties, such as real
property taxes and assessments, lenders, contractors, etc.; (2) to pay
the Partnership the amount of $70,000 per lot, as each lot sells; (3)
to pay the Partnership the interest on the cash advances in full, as
each lot sells; (4) to reimburse the Partnership for its out-of-pocket
cash advances for each lot, as each lot sells; and (5) the remainder to
Woodvalley and the Partnership at a rate of 30% to Woodvalley and 70%
to the Partnership.
The WV-OMIF Partners Partnership Agreement states that the Partnership
shall take no part in the conduct or control of WV-OMIF Partners'
business or in the operation, right or authority to act for WV-OMIF
Partners. Thus, the Partnership does not have control of WV-OMIF
Partners and accounts for its investment in WV-OMIF Partners under the
equity method.
(6) Real Estate Held for Sale
Real estate held for sale at December 31, 1996 and 1995 consists of the
following properties acquired through foreclosure in 1993 through 1996:

(7) Partners' Capital
(a) Contributions
Limited partners of the Partnership contributed $1.00 for each
unit subscribed. Registration costs incurred by the Partnership
have been offset against contributed capital. Such costs, which
were incurred in 1989, amounted to approximately $198,000.
(b) Allocations, Distributions and Withdrawals
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Partnership's
profits, gains and losses are allocated to each limited partner
and the general partners in proportion to their respective
capital contributions.
Distributions are made monthly to the limited partners in
proportion to their respective units as of the last day of the
preceding calendar month. Accrued distributions payable
represent amounts to be paid to the partners in January of the
subsequent year based on their capital balances at December 31.
The Partnership makes cash distributions to those limited
partners who elect to receive such distributions. Those limited
partners who elect not to receive cash distributions have their
distributions reinvested in additional limited partnership
units. Such reinvested distributions totaled $8,975,209,
$8,395,180 and $7,863,379 for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Reinvested distributions are not
shown as partners' distributions or sales of partnership units
in the accompanying statements of partners' capital.
The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from
the Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding
capital accounts at $1.00 per unit (book value) within 91 days
after written notices are delivered to the general partners,
subject to the following limitations:
o Any such payments are required to be made only from cash
available for distribution, net proceeds and capital
contributions (as defined) during said 91-day period.
o A maximum of $75,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any
calendar quarter (or $100,000 in the case of a deceased
limited partner).
o The general partners are not required to establish a reserve
fund for the purpose of funding such payments.
o No more than 10% of the outstanding limited partnership
interest may be withdrawn during any calendar year except upon
dissolution of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
(7) Partners' Capital, Continued
(c) Promotional Interest of General Partners
The general partners contributed capital to the Partnership in
the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners' aggregate capital
contributions and, together with their promotional interest, the
general partners have an interest equal to 1% of the limited
partners' contributions. This promotional interest of the
general partners of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of
the Partnership and credited as a contribution to the general
partners' capital account as additional compensation. As of
December 31, 1996, the general partners had made cash capital
contributions of $886,418 to the Partnership. The general
partners are required to continue cash capital contributions to
the Partnership in order to maintain their required capital
balance.
The promotional interest expense charged to the Partnership was
$57,395, $69,255 and $72,984 for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(8) Contingency Reserves
In accordance with the partnership agreement and to satisfy the
Partnership's liquidity requirements, the Partnership is required to
maintain cash as contingency reserves (as defined) in an aggregate
amount of at least 1-1/2% of the gross proceeds of the sale of limited
partnership units. The cash capital contribution of the general
partners (amounting to $886,418 at December 31, 1996), up to a maximum
of 1/2 of 1% of the limited partners' capital contributions, will be
available as an additional contingency reserve, if necessary.
The contingency reserves required at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
approximately $3,400,000 and $3,324,000, respectively. Certificates of
deposit and certain cash equivalents as of the same dates were
accordingly maintained as reserves.

(10) Transactions with Affiliates
OFG is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee of up
to 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership's
mortgage loans at the end of each of the preceding twelve months for
services rendered as manager of the Partnership. The maximum management
fee is reduced to 1.75% per annum if OFG has not provided during the
preceding calendar year any of the certain services defined in the
limited partnership agreement.
All of the Partnership's loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration
for which OFG receives up to .25% per annum of the unpaid principal
balance of the loans. Servicing fees are paid from the interest income
of the loans collected from the borrowers.
Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds is collected by OFG and
is remitted monthly to the Partnership, net of servicing fees earned by
OFG. Interest receivable from OFG amounted to $1,321,493 and $1,359,228
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the
management and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the
allowable limits. In determining the management and servicing fees and
hence the yield to the Partnership, OFG may consider a number of
factors, including the then-current market yields. Management fees
amounted to approximately $867,000, $1,432,000 and $1,475,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are
included in the accompanying statements of income. Service fee payments
to OFG approximated $384,000, $371,000 and $338,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are included in the
accompanying statements of income.
OFG receives late payment charges from borrowers who make delinquent
payments. Such charges are in addition to the normal monthly loan
payments and totaled approximately $241,000, $152,000 and $447,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives an
investment evaluation fee payable from payments made by borrowers. Such
fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $1,930,000, $1,865,000 and
$2,261,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Included in loans secured by trust deeds at December 31, 1996 and 1995
are notes totaling $1,942,332 and $494,549, respectively, which are
secured by properties owned by OFG. The loans bear interest at 8% per
annum and are due on demand. The Partnership received interest income
of $72,427, $131,482 and $300,245 during the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, from OFG under loans secured by
trust deeds and the unsecured loan due from OFG.
Due to general partner as of December 31, 1995 consists of unreimbursed
costs and expenses payable to OFG.
<PAGE>
(11) Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
Net income per limited partnership unit is computed using the weighted
average of limited partnership units outstanding during the year, which
was 172,364,058, 160,636,164 and 146,237,145 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective December 31, 1995, the Partnership adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments. This statement requires the
determination of fair value for certain of the Partnership's assets.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the value
of the financial instruments included in the following categories:
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Certificates of Deposit
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the
relatively short maturity of these instruments.
(b) Loans Secured by Trust Deeds
The fair value of these instruments of approximately
$153,700,000 as compared to the carrying value of approximately
$154,149,000 as of December 31, 1996 is estimated based upon
projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current
interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The
allowance for loan losses of $3,500,000 at December 31, 1996
should also be considered in evaluating the fair value of loans
secured by trust deeds.
