ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999, and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000

The Advisor  believes  that the  impairment  provision of $2,162,618 is adequate
based on its analysis of property operations underlying the Additional Loans.

3.    MBS

At  September  30, 2000,  the Trust's MBS  portfolio  had an  amortized  cost of
$11,518,523   and   unrealized   gains  and  losses  of  $229,818  and  $11,746,
respectively.  At September 30, 2000, the Trust's  insured  mortgage loan has an
amortized cost of $4,872,415.  The MBS portfolio  including the insured mortgage
has maturities ranging from 2008 to 2035.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2000 the Trust had  liquidity  consisting of cash and cash
     equivalents,  of  approximately  $5.4  million as well as the cash  inflows
     provided by PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents. The Trust may also
     receive  additional cash flow from the  participation  features of its PIMs
     and PIMIs.  The Trust  anticipates  that these  sources will be adequate to
     provide  the  Trust  with  sufficient  liquidity  to meet its  obligations,
     including providing dividends to its investors.

     The  most  significant   demand  on  the  Trust's  liquidity  is  quarterly
     dividends,  paid to investors of  approximately  $2.6 million,  and special
     distributions.  Funds for dividends come from interest  income  received on
     PIMs, PIMIs,  MBS, cash and cash equivalents net of operating  expenses and
     the principal  collections  received on PIMs, PIMIs and MBS. The portion of
     dividends funded from principal  collections  reduces the capital resources
     of the Trust.  As the capital  resources of the Trust  decrease,  the total
     cash flows to the Trust  will also  decrease  which may result in  periodic
     adjustments to the dividends paid to the investors.

     The Advisor  periodically reviews the dividend rate to determine whether an
     adjustment is necessary based on projected  future cash flows.  The current
     dividend rate is $.17 per Share per quarter. In general,  the Advisor tries
     to set a dividend rate that provides for level quarterly distributions.  To
     the extent quarterly  dividends do not fully utilize the cash available for
     distribution  and cash  balances  increase,  the  Advisor  may  adjust  the
     dividend rate or distribute such funds through a special distribution.

     The Trust's PIMIs funded the construction or significant  rehabilitation of
     multifamily housing,  which requires time to achieve stabilized  operations
     following the completion of the work. With this in mind, the Trust required
     those  borrowers  to escrow a portion of the  Additional  Loan  proceeds in
     reserves so funds would be available for the PIMI  Additional Loan payments
     during the  construction  and lease-up  periods.  As these reserves  become
     depleted,  full payment of the Additional Loan interest  becomes  primarily
     dependent on whether the underlying property generates sufficient operating
     cash flow to make such payments.

     In  addition to  providing  guaranteed  or insured  monthly  principal  and
     interest  payments,  the  Trust's  investments  in PIMs and PIMIs  also may
     provide  additional  income  through the  interest on the  Additional  Loan
     portion of the PIMIs as well as  participation  income  based on  operating
     cash flow and an increase in the value  realized upon the sale or refinance
     of  the  underlying   properties.   However,  these  payments  are  neither
     guaranteed  nor insured and depend upon the  successful  operations  of the
     underlying properties.

     The Trust received the second  installment of Additional Loan interest from
     two of its PIMI  investments,  Red Run and The  Seasons  during  the  third
     quarter of 2000.  The  Trust's  three other PIMI  investments,  Lifestyles,
     Mountain View and Windward Lakes operate under workout  agreements with the
     Trust that require  Additional Loan interest payments only if Surplus Cash,
     as defined by HUD, is generated through property operations.  None of these
     three  properties  generated  Surplus Cash for the year ended  December 31,
     1999 or the six months ended June 30, 2000; consequently, the Trust did not
     receive any Additional Loan interest.

     The Trust  received  participation  interest from three of its  investments
     during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Waterford  Townhomes,  one
     of the Trust's PIM  investments,  paid  $42,731 of  participation  interest
     based  on  1999  operating  results.  Red  Run,  one  of the  Trust's  PIMI
     investments,  paid $39,673 of participation interest; $33,630 based on 1999
     operating  results  and $6,043  based on the first  half of 2000  operating
     results.  The Trust also received  $174,505 of participation  interest from
     The Seasons; $68,762 based on the second half of 1999 operating results and
     $105,743  based on the first  half of 2000.  The Trust  expects  to collect
     participation  interest based on successful 1999 operating results from the
     Lincoln Green PIM  investment  later during 2000.  Three other  properties,
     Rivergreens I, Mill Pond I and Riverview, are occupied in the low 90% range
     and  generate   sufficient  revenue  to  meet  all  cash  requirements  for
     operations and  maintenance,  but do not generate  Surplus Cash under HUD's
     definition for payment of participation interest to the Trust.

     As mentioned above,  three properties operate under workout agreements with
     the Trust.  Windward Lakes' operating results  deteriorated during 1995 and
     1996, and in early 1997 the  independent  Trustees  approved a workout with
     the borrower of the Windward Lakes PIMI, an affiliate of the Advisor of the
     Trust.  In the  workout,  the Trust  agreed to reduce the  effective  basic
     interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 2% per annum for 1997 and 1%
     per annum for 1998, 1999 and 2000. The borrower made an equity contribution
     of $133,036 to the  property  and agreed to cap the annual  management  fee
     paid to an  affiliate  at 3% of  revenues.  The  Trust's  participation  in
     current  operations  is 50% of any  Surplus  Cash as  determined  under HUD
     guidelines, and the Additional Loan interest is payable out of its share of
     Surplus  Cash.  Any unpaid  Additional  Loan  interest  accrues at 7.5% per
     annum. When the property is sold or refinanced,  the Trust will receive 50%
     of any net proceeds remaining after repayment of the insured mortgage,  the
     Additional  Loan, the interest rate relief,  accrued and unpaid  Additional
     Loan interest and the Borrower's  equity up to the point that the Trust has
     received  a  cumulative,   non-compounded   10%  preferred  return  on  its
     investment in the PIMI.

<PAGE>

     Lifestyles  operating  results  deteriorated  during  1995,  and the  Trust
     approved a two-year workout that  effectively  reduced the interest rate on
     the insured  mortgage by 1%. When that workout ended in 1997,  the property
     was not able to generate  sufficient  revenues to maintain the property and
     service the  original  interest  rate.  Consequently,  the  borrower on the
     Lifestyles  PIMI  defaulted on its May 1, 1998 debt service  payment on the
     insured first mortgage. The Trust agreed to a new workout that runs through
     2007.  Under its terms,  the Trust agreed to reduce the effective  interest
     rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.75% retroactively for 1998 to clear
     the default,  by 1.75% for 1999, and by 1.5% each year thereafter until the
     property  is  sold or  refinanced.  The  borrower  made a  $550,000  equity
     contribution,  which  has  been  escrowed,  for the  exclusive  purpose  of
     correcting  deferred  maintenance  and making capital  improvements  to the
     property. Any Surplus Cash that is generated by property operations will be
     split evenly between the Trust and the borrower.  When the property is sold
     or refinanced,  the first  $1,100,000 of any proceeds  remaining  after the
     insured  mortgage is paid off will be split 50% / 50%; the next  $1,690,220
     of proceeds will be split 75% to the Trust and 25% to the borrower; and any
     remaining  proceeds will be split 50% / 50%. The  borrower's new equity and
     the reduction in the effective  interest rate on the insured first mortgage
     will provide funds for repairs and improvements that should help reposition
     Lifestyles so it can compete more  effectively for new residents and rental
     rates. As a result of the factors  described above, the Advisor  determined
     that  the  Additional  Loan  collateralized  by the  Lifestyles  asset  was
     impaired, and the Trust recorded a valuation allowance of $1,130,346 in the
     fourth quarter of 1998 and continues to maintain that allowance.

     Mountain View is similar to Lifestyles  with respect to competitive  market
     conditions.  In June 1999,  the Trust  approved a second  workout that runs
     through  2004.  Under its terms,  the Trust agreed to reduce the  effective
     interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.25% retroactively for 1999
     and each year thereafter  until the property is sold or refinanced,  and to
     change the participation terms. The workout eliminated the preferred return
     feature,  forgave $288,580 of previous accruals of Additional Loan interest
     related to the first  workout,  and changed the  Trust's  participation  in
     Surplus Cash  generated by the property.  The Trust will receive 75% of the
     first $130,667 of Surplus Cash and 50% of any remaining  Surplus Cash on an
     annual  basis to pay  Additional  Loan  interest.  Unpaid  Additional  Loan
     interest  related to the second workout will accrue and be payable if there
     are  sufficient  proceeds from a sale or  refinancing  of the property.  In
     addition,  the borrower  repaid  $153,600 of the Additional Loan and funded
     approximately $54,000 to a reserve for property  improvements.  As a result
     of the factors described above, the Advisor  determined that the Additional
     Loan  collateralized  by the  Mountain  View  asset  was  impaired  and has
     recorded a valuation allowance of $1,032,272 and continues to maintain that
     allowance.

     Whether the operating  performance at any of the properties mentioned above
     provide  sufficient  cash flow from operations to pay either the Additional
     Loan interest or participation income will depend on factors that the Trust
     has little or no control over.  Should the properties be unable to generate
     sufficient cash flow to pay the Additional  Loan interest,  it would reduce
     the  Trust's  distributable  cash  flow and could  affect  the value of the
     Additional Loan collateral.

     There are contractual  restrictions on the repayment of the PIMs and PIMIs.
     During the first five years of the  investment,  borrowers  are  prohibited
     from repayment.  During the second five years, the PIM borrowers can prepay
     the insured first mortgage by paying the greater of a prepayment premium or
     the  participation due at the time of the prepayment.  Similarly,  the PIMI
     borrowers can prepay the insured first mortgage and the Additional  Loan by
     satisfying the Preferred Return obligation.  The participation features and
     Additional  Loans are neither insured nor guaranteed.  If the prepayment of
     the PIM or PIMI results from the foreclosure on the underlying  property or
     an insurance claim, the Trust would probably not receive any  participation
     income or any amounts due under the Additional Loan.

     The  Trust  has the  option  to call  certain  PIMs  and all the  PIMIs  by
     accelerating  their maturity if the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year
     after  permanent  funding.   The  Advisor  will  determine  the  merits  of
     exercising  the call  option for each PIM and PIMI as  economic  conditions
     warrant.  Such  factors  as  the  condition  of  the  asset,  local  market
     conditions, the interest rate environment and available financing will have
     an impact on these decisions.

     Results of Operations

     The net income of the Trust for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000
     decreased by $4.3  million as compared to the nine months  ended  September
     30, 1999 due primarily to decreases in interest  income net of decreases in
     asset  management  fees to an affiliate and  amortization  expense.  Basic,
     additional loan and participation  interest income decreased in 2000 due to
     the receipt of the Audubon  Villas PIMI  repayment  during 1999.  The Trust
     received  approximately $2.0 million of participation  interest income when
     the PIMI paid off.  Interest  income on MBS  decreased  for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
     1999 due to  principal  collections  reducing the MBS  investment  balance.
     Other  interest  income  decreased due to lower average cash balances while
     asset management fees and amortization of prepaid expenses decreased due to
     the payoff of the Audubon Villas PIMI in 1999.

<PAGE>

     The Trust's net income decreased by $3.8 million for the three months ended
     September 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999
     due primarily to the reasons discussed above.

     The  Trust  generally  funds a  portion  of its  dividends  with  principal
     collections,  which will continue to reduce the assets of the Trust thereby
     reducing the income,  generated  by the Trust in the future.  Additionally,
     asset  management  fees will  decrease as the Trust's  investments  in MBS,
     PIMS,  and insured  mortgages  continue to decline as a result of principal
     collections.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Assessment of Credit Risk

     The Trust's  investments  in insured  mortgages  and MBS are  guaranteed or
     insured by Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation (FHLMC),
     the Government  National Mortgage  Association (GNMA) and the Department of
     Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD) and  therefore the certainty of their
     cash flows and the risk of material loss of the amounts invested depends on
     the creditworthiness of these entities.

     Fannie Mae is a federally  chartered  private  corporation  that guarantees
     obligations  originated under its programs.  FHLMC is a federally chartered
     corporation that guarantees  obligations  originated under its programs and
     is  wholly-owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks.  These  obligations
     are not  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government  or the Federal Home Loan Bank
     Board.  GNMA  guarantees the full and timely payment of principal and basic
     interest on the securities it issues,  which represents  interest in pooled
     mortgages insured by HUD. Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S.
     Government, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

     The Trust's  Additional  Loans have similar risks as those  associated with
     higher risk debt instruments,  including: reliance on the owner's operating
     skills,  ability to maintain occupancy levels,  control operating expenses,
     ability to maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance  coverage.
     Operations  also may be  effected  by adverse  changes in general  economic
     conditions,   adverse  local   conditions,   and  changes  in  governmental
     regulations,  real estate zoning laws, or tax laws, and other circumstances
     over which the Trust may have little or no control.

     The Trust includes in cash and cash equivalents  approximately $5.2 million
     of Agency paper, which is issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises with a
     credit rating equal to the top rating  category of a nationally  recognized
     statistical rating organization.

     Interest Rate Risk

     The Trust's  primary  market risk exposure is to interest rate risk,  which
     can be defined as the  exposure of the  Trust's  net income,  comprehensive
     income or financial  condition to adverse  movements in interest  rates. At
     September 30, 2000,  the Trust's PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS comprise the majority
     of the Trust's assets. As such,  decreases in interest rates may accelerate
     the prepayment of the Trust's  investments.  The Trust does not utilize any
     derivatives or other  instruments to manage this risk as the Trust plans to
     hold all of its investments to expected maturity.

     The Trust monitors  prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as
     dividend  requirements of the Trust,  when setting regular dividend policy.
     For  MBS,  the  fund  forecasts  prepayments  based on  trends  in  similar
     securities as reported by statistical reporting entities such as Bloomberg.
     For PIMs and PIMIs,  the Trust  incorporates  prepayment  assumptions  into
     planning as individual  properties notify the Trust of the intent to prepay
     or as they mature.
