                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

NOTE 1  -   General

         American Mortgage Investors Trust (the "Company") was formed on June
11, 1991 as a Massachusetts business trust for the primary purpose of investing
in government-insured mortgages and guaranteed mortgage-backed certificates. The
Company is electing to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         The Company issued 10,000 shares of beneficial interest at $20 per
share in exchange for $200,000 cash from Related AMI Associates, Inc., the
current advisor to the Company (the "Advisor").

         On March 29, 1993, the Company commenced a public offering (the
"Offering") through Related Equities Corporation, (the "Dealer Manager") an
affiliate of the Advisor, and other broker-dealers on a "best efforts" basis,
for up to 10,000,000 of its shares of beneficial interest at an initial offering
price of $20 per share. The Offering terminated as of November 30, 1994. As of
November 30, 1994, a total of 3,809,601 shares had been sold to the public,
either through the Offering or the Company's dividend reinvestment plan (the
"Reinvestment Plan"), representing Gross Proceeds (the "Gross Proceeds") of
$76,192,021 (before volume discounts of $40,575). Pursuant to the Redemption
Plan which became effective November 30, 1994, the Company is required to redeem
eligible shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has
sufficient net proceeds from the sale of shares under the Reinvestment Plan.
After November 30, 1994, 133,166 shares were sold through the Reinvestment Plan,
the proceeds of which are restricted for use in connection with the Redemption
Plan and are not included in gross proceeds. Pursuant to the Redemption Plan as
of September 30, 1996 150,191 shares were redeemed for an aggregate price of
$2,856,065. Since 16,931 shares were redeemed from proceeds from the
Reinvestment Plan before the termination of the Offering the proceeds available
for future investment have been reduced by $319,987. In addition, during the
Offering, the Advisor received 38,481 restricted shares (including 717 from the
Reinvestment Plan) which the Advisor has valued at $14.75 per share, pursuant to
the terms of the Offering. As a result of the shares being redeemed the Advisor
was required to return 172 shares as of September 30, 1996.

         The Company has invested principally in two types of mortgage
investments ("Mortgage Investments"), new mortgage loans originated by or on
behalf of the Company or by other lenders and sold to the Company prior to the
loans being fully funded and also Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities and
pass-through certificates ("Originated Mortgages") and existing mortgage loans
that it acquires ("Acquired Mortgages") on multifamily residential rental
properties ("Developments"). No more than 7% of the Net Proceeds may be invested
in non-interest bearing uninsured loans made directly to developers or sponsors
of Developments (or the general partners or other principals of the owner of the
Developments) with respect to which the Company holds a mortgage ("Additional
Loans"). As of September 30, 1996, all of the total Net Proceeds available for
investment had been invested in permanent Mortgage Investments. As of September
30, 1996, of the total Net Proceeds available for investment, 84.9% had been
invested in Originated Mortgages (including 6.32% in Additional Loans) and 15.1%
had been invested in Acquired Mortgages.

         The Company also invests in REMICs and in CMOs or participations
therein that are backed by single family and/or multifamily mortgage loans
insured by FHA or mortgage certificates guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac.

         Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1  -   General (continued)

         The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis
as the audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of the Advisor, the accompanying
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company as of September 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. However, the operating results
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 may not be indicative of
the results for the year.

         Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 3  -   Investment in REMIC and GNMA Certificates and FHA Insured
            Project Loan (continued)

(1)      On October 15, 1993 the Company allocated $5,000,000 of the principal
         face value as an Acquired Mortgage based on the expectation that a
         majority of the investment would be held for at least two years. Based
         on such allocation, compensation was paid to the Advisor. The Advisor
         has undertaken to reimburse the Company for any compensation paid to it
         which is attributable to the portion of any REMIC Certificate which is
         sold to support the Company's distribution policy (the "Advisor's
         Reimbursement Undertaking"). On November 4, 1993 and February 1, 1994,
         the Company sold $200,000 and $200,000 respectively, of the REMIC
         Certificate and the Advisor has reimbursed the Company for the fees
         previously paid and the trading loss incurred with respect to the
         portions of the REMIC Certificate which were sold. On March 30, 1995,
         the Company sold $4,500,000 of the temporary portion at the discounted
         price of 90.9375% or $4,092,188. The realized loss on this sale was
         $447,472. Also on August 15, 1996, the Company sold the remaining
         balance of the temporary and permanent portions of the REMIC
         Certificate which totaled $5,100,000. The realized loss on this sale
         was $328,895.

         The REMIC Certificate represented a beneficial ownership interest in
         Fannie Mae REMIC Trust 1992-17. The assets of the trust consisted
         primarily of interests in a separate trust which holds Fannie Mae
         Guaranteed Pass-Through Certificates (the "MBS Certificates"), each of
         which represents a beneficial interest in a pool of first lien,
         fixed-rate residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans").

         The Company was entitled to monthly interest payments on the
         outstanding principal amount of the REMIC Certificate.

(2)      Represents an FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificate. On May 4, 1994
         the Company allocated $2,419,300 of the principal face value as an
         Acquired Mortgage based on the expectation that a majority of the
         investment would be held for at least two years. Based upon such
         allocation, compensation was paid to the Advisor. On May 5, 1994 the
         Company sold $1,000,000 of the permanent portion of the Mortgage
         Participation Certificate and on October 11, 1994 the Company sold the
         remaining balance of the temporary and permanent portions of the
         Mortgage Participation Certificate which totaled $3,838,600. Pursuant
         to the Advisor's Reimbursement Undertaking, the Advisor has reimbursed
         the Company for the fees previously paid and the trading loss incurred
         with respect to the permanent investment portion of the certificate
         which was sold. A loss of $297,836 was recorded on these sales in 1994.

(3)      Purchased as a permanent investment using a portion of the proceeds
         from the sale of FHLMC REMIC Certificate #G-024C.  See (2) above.

$2,545,000 and $664,000 at December 31, 1995); and (vi) certain other fees. In
addition to the costs, fees and expenses discussed above, the Company will
reimburse affiliates of the Advisor for certain administrative and other cost
incurred on behalf of the Company. The costs and expenses incurred for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $8,127 and $69,905, and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $117,410 and $162,630
respectively.

         The Company paid commissions of up to 6% of the aggregate purchase
price of shares sold, subject to quantity discounts, as well as a
non-accountable due diligence expense reimbursement in an amount up to .5% of
Gross Proceeds to certain broker-dealers selected by the Dealer Manager and
approved by the Advisor. The Dealer Manager received commissions of 6% of the
aggregate purchase price of shares sold through the Reinvestment Plan during the
Offering. At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company has paid
$4,943,069 of commissions and due diligence to broker-dealers (including $98,655
to the Dealer Manager).

         In order to minimize the possible adverse effects of the Company's
investment and distribution policy of attempting to maintain stable
distributions to shareholders during the offering and acquisition stages, the
Company has made the following undertakings: (a) the Advisor has agreed not to
retain acquisition fees or loan disposition fees with respect to any portion of
REMICs or CMOs which are sold pursuant to the distribution policy; such fees
totaled $96,112 as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995; (b) the Advisor
has agreed to contribute to the Company funds equal to the amount by which all
trading losses exceed the gains resulting from the sale of REMICs and CMOs
investments to supplement the distribution policy; such funds totaled $97,221 as
of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995; and (c) the Company has agreed to
limit the total amount which can be returned to investors from the early sale of
investments to support the distributions policy to less than 3% of the Gross
Proceeds.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE  5  -  Subsequent Events

         On November 14, 1996, a distribution of $1,385,021 and $17,656 will be
paid to the Investors and the Advisor, respectively, representing the 1996 third
quarter distribution. The distribution will be funded from cash collections of
debt service payments and interest income through approximately the distribution
date, November 14, 1996.

         Pursuant to the Redemption Plan, it is anticipated that in November
1996, the Company will redeem approximately 18,747 shares for an aggregate price
of $356,200 ($19 per unit).

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

         The Company issued 10,000 shares of beneficial interest at $20 per
share in exchange for $200,000 cash from Related AMI Associates, Inc., the
Advisor to the Company. As of November 30, 1994, the Company had received
$76,192,021 (before volume discounts of $40,575) in Gross Proceeds from the sale
of 3,738,613 shares pursuant to the Offering and 70,988 shares through the
Reinvestment Plan resulting in Net Proceeds available for investment of
approximately $69,334,743 after volume discounts, payments of sales commissions
and organization and offering expenses. Pursuant to the Redemption Plan which
became effective November 30, 1994, the Company is required to redeem eligible
shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has sufficient net
proceeds from the sale of shares under the Reinvestment Plan. After the
effective date, 133,166 shares were sold through the Reinvestment Plan, the
proceeds of which are restricted for use in connection with the Redemption Plan
and are not included in gross proceeds. Pursuant to the Redemption Plan as of
September 30, 1996, the Company redeemed 150,191 shares for an aggregate price
of $2,850,065. Since 16,931 shares were redeemed from proceeds from the
reinvestment plan before the termination of the Offering the proceeds available
for future investment have been reduced by $319,987. During the Offering, the
Advisor had received 38,481 shares, pursuant to the terms of the Offering and
Reinvestment Plan in addition to the 10,000 shares purchased by the Advisor. As
a result of the shares being redeemed the Advisor was required to return 172
shares as of September 30, 1996.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash and cash
equivalents increased approximately $568,000 primarily due to proceeds from the
sale of REMIC Certificates ($4,941,000), cash provided by operating activities
($3,321,000) and principal repayments of loans, GNMAs, REMICs and FHA Insured
Project Loan ($1,102,000), which exceeded distributions to shareholders
($4,166,000) and an increase in investment in loans ($4,630,000). Included in
the adjustments to reconcile the net income to cash flow from operations is net
amortization in the amount of $352,000.

         The Company has utilized the Net proceeds of the Offering primarily to
make or invest in Originated Mortgages and Acquired Mortgages. The Company has
also invested in uninsured Additional Loans made directly to the developers or
sponsors of Developments provided that not more than an aggregate of 7% of the
Net Proceeds raised in the Offering were invested in Additional Loans. As of
September 30, 1996, of the total Net Proceeds available for investment, 84.9%
had been invested in Originated Mortgages (including 6.32% in Additional Loans)
and 15.1% in Acquired Mortgages. As of September 30, 1996, all of Net Proceeds
available for investment had been invested in permanent Mortgage Investments.

         As of September 30, 1996, the Company had funded five Originated
Mortgages (excluding GNMAs-see below) in an aggregate amount of $38,490,201 and
five non-interest bearing Additional Loans in the aggregate amount of $4,362,409
in connection with the permanent financing provided on five Developments.

         In 1993, the Company made investments in two REMIC Certificates in the
aggregate amount of $14,999,538, which were sold during 1993, 1994, 1995 and
1996. In 1994, the Company acquired (i) three Ginnie Mae Guaranteed FHA Insured
Project Loan Backed Certificates in the aggregate amount of $8,532,847 and (ii)
three FHLMC REMIC Certificates and one Fannie Mae Mortgage Guaranteed REMIC
Certificate in the aggregate amount of $2,991,844. In 1995, the company acquired
a FHA Insured Project Loan in the aggregate amount of $3,374,679. Unrealized
losses on REMIC and GNMA and FMA Insured Project Loan investments included in
shareholders' equity pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 aggregated $138,647 at September 30, 1996. This represents an increase of
$79,584 from December 31, 1995 of which a decrease of $236,250 is attributable
to the sale of securities (which resulted in a realized loss of $405,866) and an
increase of $315,834 is attributable to a decrease in market prices for the
investments held at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. As of November 5,
1996, the unrealized loss was approximately $23,000.

         The yield on the REMIC and GNMA Certificates will depend, in part, upon
the rate and timing of principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages in the
asset pool. Generally, as market interest rates decrease, mortgage prepayment
rates increase and the market value of interest rate sensitive obligations like
the REMIC and 


                                      -18-

<PAGE>

GNMA Certificates increases. As market interest rates increase, mortgage
prepayment rates tend to decrease and the market value of interest rate
sensitive obligations like the REMICs and GNMAs tends to decrease. The effect of
prepayments on yield is greater the earlier a prepayment of principal is
received. Due to the complexity of the REMIC structure and the uncertainty of
future economic and other factors that affect interest rates and mortgage
prepayments, it is not possible to predict the effect of future events upon the
yield to maturity or the market value of the REMIC and GNMA Certificates upon
any sale or other disposition or whether the Company, if it chose to, would be
able to reinvest proceeds from prepayments at favorable rates relative to the
coupon rate.

         The Company intends to continue to invest the Net Proceeds (including
the portion of reinvested dividends not used for the Redemption Plan) in
Mortgage Investments. Unadvanced amounts will be invested in temporary
investments. The Company expects that cash generated from the Company's
investments will be sufficient to pay all of the Company's expenses in the
foreseeable future.

         Initially, liquidity was based upon the proceeds raised from the
Offering. Subsequent to the offering period, which terminated as of November 30,
1994, the Company's liquidity is based primarily on interest received from
permanent Mortgage Investments and interest on unadvanced amounts from
Originated Mortgages. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended, the Company must distribute at least 95% of its taxable
income.

         For a description of the Company's investments in Originated Mortgages,
REMIC and GNMA Certificates and FHA Insured Project Loan see Notes 2 and 3 of
Notes to Financial Statements.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

         Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, primarily consists of interest income from Originated Mortgages,
REMIC Certificates, FHA Insured Project Loan and temporary investments less
administrative, realized gains and losses on sale REMICs and FNMAs and FHA
Insured Project Loan and amortization expenses. The total of the annual
operating expenses of the Company may not exceed the greater of (i) 2% of the
Average Invested Assets of the Company or (ii) 25% of the Company's Net Income,
unless such excess is approved by the Independent Trustees. On an annualized
basis there was no excess for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995.

         Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 consist primarily of interest income of approximately $691,000 and
$2,087,000, and $581,000 and $1,656,000 earned on Originated Mortgages
(excluding GNMAs), respectively, approximately $327,000 and $1,043,000, and
$376,000 and $1,218,000 earned from investments in REMIC and GNMA Certificates
and FHA Insured Project Loan, respectively, and approximately $61,000 and
$186,000, and $127,000 and $403,000 earned from temporary investments,
respectively.

           The increase in interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding
GNMAs) of approximately $110,000 and $430,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 is due to the addition of the Stony Brook Originated Mortgage in
December 1995 and additional advances on the Columbiana Originated Mortgage
since September 30, 1995.

         The decrease in interest income from REMIC and GNMA Certificates and
FHA Insured Project Loan of approximately $48,000 and $175,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 is primarily due to the sale of a portion of one of the
REMICs in March 1995 and the sale of one REMIC in August 1996 as well as
decreased principal balances as a result of principal payments.

         The decrease in interest income from temporary investments of
approximately $66,000 and $217,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
primarily due to a decrease in uninvested proceeds earning interest in 1996.


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

         The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately
$6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1995 is
primarily due to an increase in legal expenses.

         The decrease in general and administrative-related parties expenses of
approximately $52,000 and $22,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
primarily attributable to an increase in asset management fees as a result of
additional loan advances to Columbiana and Stonybrook and a decrease in
reimbursements to affiliates of the Advisor for certain administrative and other
costs incurred on behalf of the Company.

         The increase and decrease in the realized loss on sale of REMICs and
GNMAs and FHA Insured Project Loan of approximately $410,000 and 35,000
irrespectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 is primarily due
to the sale of a portion of a REMIC in March 1995 and August 1996. The realized
losses on these sales were $447,472 and $328,895, respectively (including
acquisition fees and expenses on the August 1996 Sale).

Distribution Policy
- - -------------------

         The Company has adopted a policy of attempting to maintain stable
distributions to shareholders during the offering and acquisition stages of the
Company. In order to accomplish this result, it has disposed of, and may be
required to continue to dispose of a portion of the CMOs and REMICs during this
period. The effect of this policy has been the following: (a) a portion of the
distributions have constituted, and will continue to constitute, a return of
capital; (b) earlier investors' returns from an investment in the Company will
be greater than later investors' returns; and (c) there will be a decrease in
funds remaining to be invested in Mortgage Investments.

         In order to minimize the possible adverse effects of the investment and
distribution policy described above, the Company has made the following
undertakings: (a) the Advisor has agreed not to retain acquisition fees or loan
disposition fees with respect to any portion of REMICs or CMOs which are sold
pursuant to the distribution policy; such fees totaled $96,112 as of September
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995; (b) the Advisor has agreed to contribute to the
Company funds equal to the amount by which all trading losses exceed the gains
resulting from the sale of REMIC and CMO investments to supplement the
distribution policy; such funds totaled $97,221 as of September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995; and (c) the Company has agreed to limit the total amount
which can be returned to investors from the early sale of investments to support
the distributions policy to less than 3% of the Gross Proceeds. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, no investments were sold in order to support
the distribution policy.

         Of the total distributions of $4,165,518 and $4,162,792 made for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $1,817,601 ($.46 per share or
44%) and $1,917,234($.49 per share or 46%) represents a return of capital
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As of
September 30, 1996, the aggregate amount of the distributions made since the
commencement of the Offering representing a return of capital, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, totaled $6,518,964 ($1.63 per
share or 44%). The portion of the distributions which constitute a return of
capital may be significant during the acquisition stage in order to maintain
level distributions to shareholders. However, as described above, the aggregate
amount of the disposition proceeds used for distributions cannot in the
aggregate exceed 3% of the Gross Proceeds. As of September 30, 1996, the
aggregate amount of disposition proceeds used to support distributions equaled
2.44% of the Gross Proceeds resulting in approximately $428,000 being available
to support future distributions if necessary.

         Management expects that cash flow from operations combined with the
balance of the disposition proceeds above will be sufficient to fund the
Company's operating expenses and continue to make distributions at the current
level in the future.
