                                  June 30, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


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, 189,016 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 June 30,  1997,  206,042  shares  were  redeemed  for an  aggregate  price of
$3,911,227. Of such redemptions,  16,931 shares were redeemed from proceeds from
the Reinvestment Plan before the termination of the Offering and therefore,  the
proceeds  available for future  investment have been reduced by $319,987.  As of
June 30, 1997 the  backlog of shares to be  redeemed  is  155,187.  The Board of
Trustees has  implemented the provisions of the Redemption Plan which permit the
original  $19 per share to be reduced  each  quarter  to  reflect  any return of
principal  received by  shareholders.  The current amount of principal which has
been distributed to shareholders is $1.53 per share and, therefore,  the current
redemption  price will be $17.47 per share ($19 per share less $1.53 per share).
The  Board  has  also  adopted  a  policy  to  reassess  the  redemption   price
periodically. Subject to future reconsideration of such policy by the Board, the
redemption  price will not be reduced  below the  Company's  net asset value per
share. In addition,  during the Offering, the Advisor received 38,481 restricted
shares  (including  717 from the  Reinvestment  Plan) in  addition to the 10,000
shares purchased,  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 June 30, 1997.

The  Company  has  invested  principally  in two types of  mortgage  investments
("Mortgage  Investments"):  (i) 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 (ii) 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 June 30, 1997, 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. 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  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.

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.

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,  1996.  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 June 30, 1997,  the results of operations for the three and
six months  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. However,  the operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 may not be indicative of the results for the year.

(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  beneficial  ownership interest in Fannie Mae
REMIC Trust 1992-17. The assets of the trust consisted primarily of interests in
a separate trust which held Fannie Mae Guaranteed Pass-Through Certificates (the
"MBS  Certificates"),  each of which represented 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) Represented 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

($14.75 per share));  (v) acquisition  expense  allowance and  acquisition  fees
calculated as a percentage of the Gross Proceeds  applicable to the  origination
of Originated  Mortgages and related  Additional  Loans and the  acquisition  of
Acquired  Mortgages  and  Additional  Loan;  (acquisition  fees and  acquisition

$2,545,000 and $722,000 at December 31, 1996 have been  capitalized and included
in Investment in loans and  Investment  in REMIC and GNMA  Certificates  and FHA
Insured  Project  Loan) 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 June 30,
1997 and 1996 were $55,593 and $60,533,  and the costs and expenses incurred for
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997  and  1996  were  $81,923  and  $110,533,
respectively.

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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996; (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 June 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996;  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. As of June 30, 1997,
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.

Investors and the Advisor,  respectively,  representing  the 1997 second quarter
distribution.  The  distribution  will be funded from cash  collections  of debt
service  payments and interest  income through  approximately  the  distribution
date, August 14, 1997.

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 November 30, 1994,  189,016
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 June 30, 1997,  the
Company  redeemed  206,042 shares for an aggregate price of $3,911,227.  Of such
redemptions,  16,931 shares were  redeemed  from proceeds from the  Reinvestment
Plan  before  the  termination  of the  Offering  and  therefore,  the  proceeds
available for future  investment  have been reduced by $319,987.  As of June 30,
1997 the backlog of shares to be redeemed is 155,187.  The Board of Trustees has
implemented  the provisions of the Redemption Plan which permit the original $19
per share to be reduced each quarter to reflect any return of principal received
by  shareholders.  The current amount of principal which has been distributed to
shareholders is $1.53 per share and,  therefore,  the current  redemption  price
will be $17.47 per share ($19 per share  less  $1.53 per  share).  The Board has
also adopted a policy to reassess the redemption price periodically.  Subject to
future  reconsideration  of such policy by the Board,  the redemption price will
not be  reduced  below the  Company's  net asset  value per  share.  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.  As a
result of the shares  being  redeemed  the  Advisor  was  required to return 172
shares as of June 30, 1997.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash and cash  equivalents  decreased
approximately  $2,186,000 due to investments in loans ($1,889,000),  purchase of
REMIC  Certificates  and GNMA  Certificate  ($3,871,000)  and  distributions  to
shareholders  ($2,784,000) which exceeded cash provided by operating  activities
($2,278,000) and principal  repayments of loans,  GNMAs,  REMICs and FHA Insured
Project Loan  ($4,079,000).  Included in the  adjustments  to reconcile  the net
income to cash  provided by  operating  activities  is net  amortization  in the
amount of $226,000.

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  De-



                                       23
<PAGE>



velopments  provided  that not more than an  aggregate of 7% of the Net Proceeds
raised in the Offering were invested in Additional  Loans.  As of June 30, 1997,
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 June 30, 1997, the Company had funded five Originated Mortgages (excluding
GNMAs-see  below) in an aggregate  amount of $41,697,739  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  two of which  matured  during 1997 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  which matured in 1997. In 1997, the Company acquired (i) three FHLMC
REMIC  certificates and one Fannie Mae Mortgage  Guaranteed REMIC Certificate in
the aggregate  amount of $1,889,817  (ii) a portion of one Ginnie Mae Guaranteed
Single  Family Pool  Certificate  in the amount of  $1,981,566.  Net  unrealized
losses on REMIC and GNMA investments  included in shareholders'  equity pursuant
to Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115  aggregated  $98,074 at
June 30, 1997.  This  represents an increase in the  unrealized  loss of $16,688
from  December  31, 1996 of which a decrease of $20,565 is  attributable  to the
sale of  securities  (which  resulted  in a  realized  loss of  $61,772)  and an
increase  of $37,253 is  attributable  to a  decrease  in market  prices for the
investments  held at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.  As of August 5, 1997,
the unrealized loss was approximately $20,000.

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 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.



                                       24
<PAGE>


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),  if any, 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.

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 investment 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
consisted  primarily of interest income of  approximately  $784,000 and $788,000
and $1,561,000 and $1,396,000 earned on Originated  Mortgages (excluding GNMAs),
respectively,  approximately  $226,000  and  $353,000  and $486,000 and $715,000
earned from  investments in REMIC and GNMA  Certificates and FHA Insured Project
Loan,  respectively,  and  approximately  $52,000  and  $57,000  and $96,000 and
$125,000 earned from temporary  investments,  respectively,  less administrative
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 six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Interest  income  from  Originated   Mortgages   (excluding   GNMAs)   increased
approximately  $165,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 as compared to
1996 primarily due to the  additional



                                       25
<PAGE>

advances on the Stonybrook and Columbiana  Originated  Mortgages  since June 30,
1996.  The  increase for the six months was  partially  offest by the receipt of
construction  yield  maintenance  interest  relating to Stonybrook in the second
quarter of 1996.

Interest  income from REMIC and GNMA  Certificates  and FHA Insured Project Loan
decreased approximately $127,000 and $229,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997,  respectively,  as compared to 1996  primarily due to the sale of
one REMIC in August 1996 and the  repayment  of the FHA Insured  Project Loan in
May 1997.

Interest income from temporary investments  decreased  approximately $29,000 for
the six months  ended  June 30,  1997 as  compared  to 1996  primarily  due to a
decrease in uninvested proceeds earning interest in the first quarter 1997.

General and  administrative-related  parties decreased approximately $30,000 for
the six months  ended  June 30,  1997 as  compared  to 1996  primarily  due to a
decrease  in   reimbursements   to   affiliates   of  the  Advisor  for  certain
administrative and other costs incurred on behalf of the Company.

The  increase  in  realized  loss on sale of REMICs  and  GNMAs and FHA  Insured
Project Loan of  approximately  $53,000 and $64,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997,  respectively,  as compared to 1996 is primarily due to the
repayment of the FHA Insured Project Loan in May 1997.

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 



                                       26
<PAGE>


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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996;  (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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996;  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 six months ended June 30, 1997, no investments were sold in
order to support the distribution policy.

Of the total  distributions of $2,783,760 and $2,777,012 made for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  $1,074,787  ($.27 per share or 39%) and  $941,256
($.24 per share or 34%) represents a return of capital  determined in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  As of  June  30,  1997,  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 $8,057,802 ($1.99 per share or 42%). 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 June 30, 1997,  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 to make distributions.
