                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business.

General

         American Mortgage Investors Trust (the "Company") is a business trust
which was formed under the laws of the State of Massachusetts on June 11, 1991.
The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Advisor to the Company
is Related AMI Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Advisor"). The
Advisor manages the day to day affairs of the Company under the control of the
Company's trustees and pursuant to an Advisory Services Agreement, dated as of
March 29, 1993 and as amended as of October 26, 1993, December 31, 1993 and
March 29, 1994, between the Company and the Advisor (the "Advisory Services
Agreement"). See Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.

         The Company issued 10,000 shares of beneficial interest at $20 per
share in exchange for $200,000 cash from 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
December 31, 1996, a total of 3,809,601 shares have been sold to the public,
either through the Offering or through 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) resulting in Net Proceeds
available for investment of approximately $69,334,743 after volume discounts,
payments of sales commissions and organization and offering expenses (the "Net
Proceeds"). Net Proceeds from sales pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan are
required to be used first to redeem shares under the Company's redemption plan
(the "Redemption Plan"), and any remaining proceeds may be used for additional
investments or working capital reserves.

         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, 151,918 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 December 31, 1996, 168,943 shares were
redeemed for an aggregate price of $3,206,353. 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 were reduced by $319,987.

         In addition, the Advisor is authorized to receive 1% of all outstanding
shares. 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 December 31, 1996.

         The Company's principal investment objectives are to: (i) preserve and
protect the Company's capital; (ii) provide quarterly cash distributions; and
(iii) provide additional distributions from additional interest arising from
participations in the annual cash flow of the Developments (defined below)
and/or the sale or refinancing of a Development. There can be no assurance that
such objectives can be achieved.

         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



                                      -3-

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 December 31, 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.

Mortgage Investments

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company has made the following Mortgage
Investments:

Originated Mortgages

         The Cove Apartments

         On December 16, 1993, the Company funded an Originated Mortgage with
respect to a 308 unit project known as The Cove Apartments located in Houston,
Texas ("The Cove"). The Originated Mortgage is in the amount of $6,800,000 and
is fully insured by HUD under Section 223(f) of the National Housing Act and
applicable HUD regulations. The Company provided an additional $840,500 as a
non-interest bearing Additional Loan to the developer and an additional
loan-bridge loan in the amount of $84,210. On April 7, 1994, the additional
loan-bridge loan was repaid in full. The Additional Loan was made by the Company
directly to the developer to defray certain specific cash requirements in
connection with the Development and is not insured.

         The  Originated  Mortgage has a term of 35 years,  subject to mandatory
prepayment any time after 10 years,  upon 1 years notice,  and bears interest at
7.625% to 9.23%  during the  permanent  loan period  (8.125% on the total of the
Originated  Mortgage and  Additional  Loan).  In addition to the  interest  rate
during the  permanent  loan period,  the Company is entitled to 30% of cash flow
remaining  after  payment of 9.23%  interest and accrued  interest,  if any, and
certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. Payments at the rate of 9.23%
were  guaranteed by the developer  until December 16, 1996. The Additional  Loan
has a term of ten years and is secured by an unrecorded mortgage,  an assignment
of the general  partners'  (Al L.  Bradley,  Jr. and Tim L.  Myers)  partnership
interests in the owning  entity (Cove  Apartments,  L.L.C.) and an assignment of
the general partners' interests in surplus cash and residual proceeds.

         Within a two-mile radius of The Cove, there are ten properties which
compete with The Cove. A current problem with curb appeal, due to defective
siding has caused occupancies at The Cove to fall to 75.7%. The problem is being
resolved and the property should do 90% occupancy shortly. See also, "Oxford on
Greenridge Apartments" below.

         Oxford on Greenridge Apartments

         On December 16, 1993, the Company funded an Originated Mortgage with
respect to a 405 unit project known as Oxford on Greenridge Apartments located
in Houston, Texas ("Oxford on Greenridge"). The Originated Mortgage is in the
amount of $9,350,000 and is fully insured by HUD under Section 223(f) of the
National Housing Act and applicable HUD regulations. The Company provided an
additional $1,156,000 as a non-interest bearing Additional Loan to the developer
and an additional loan-bridge loan in the amount of $115,790. On April 7, 1994
the additional loan-bridge loan was repaid in full. The Additional Loan was made
by the Company directly to the developer to defray certain specific cash
requirements in connection with the Development and is not insured.

         The Originated Mortgage has a term of 35 years, subject to mandatory
prepayment at any time after 10 years, upon 1 years notice, and bears interest
at 7.625% to 9.23% during the permanent loan period (8.125% on the total of the
Originated Mortgage and Additional Loan). In addition to the interest rate
during the permanent loan period, the Company is entitled to 30% of cash flow
remaining after payment of 9.23% interest and accrued interest, if any, and
certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. Payments at the rate of 9.23%
were guaranteed by the developer until December 16, 1996. The Additional Loan
has a term of ten years and is secured by an unrecorded mortgage, an assignment
of the general partners' (Al L. Bradley, Jr. and Tim L. Myers) partnership
interests in the owning entity (Oxford Apartments, L.L.C.) and an assignment of
the general partners' interests in surplus cash and residual proceeds.

         Within a three-mile radius of Oxford on Greenridge, there are seven
properties which compete with Oxford on Greenridge. Although The Cove is also
located in the Houston area, Oxford on Greenridge is situated over 30 miles away
from The Cove. As a result of the physical distance between The Cove and Oxford
on Greenridge, the Company does not believe that the two properties compete with
each other. Nevertheless, there are additional risks associated with the loans
on both of these properties. These risks include the Company's concentration of
real estate loans in the Houston area and the fact that both of the Additional
Loans were made to the same borrower. The current market demand for rental
apartment units in the immediate area has caused Oxford on Greenridge to achieve
a 93.5% occupancy rate at competitive levels.

         Town and Country IV Apartments

         On April 24, 1994, the Company funded an Originated Mortgage with
respect to a 330 unit project known as Town & Country IV Apts. located in
Urbana, Illinois ("Town and Country IV"). The Originated Mortgage is in the
amount of $9,348,000 and is fully insured by HUD under Section 223(f) of the
National Housing Act and applicable HUD regulations. The Company provided an
additional $1,039,000 as a non-interest bearing Additional Loan to the
developer. The Additional Loan was made by the Company directly to the developer
to defray certain specific cash requirements in connection with the Development
and is not insured.

         The Originated Mortgage has a term of 35 years, subject to mandatory
prepayment at any time after 12 years, upon 1 years notice, and bears interest
at 7.375% to 9.167% during the permanent loan period (8.25% on the total of the
Originated Mortgage and Additional Loan). In addition to the interest rate
during the permanent loan period, the Company will be entitled to 30% of cash
flow remaining after payment of 9.167% interest and accrued interest, if any,
and certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. Payments at the rate of
9.167% are guaranteed by the developer until June 1997. The Additional Loan has
a term of twelve years and is secured by an unrecorded mortgage, an assignment
of the general partners' (Leonard Wineburgh and Arnold Dwinn) partnership
interests in the owning entity (Town and Country Estates, Ltd.) and an
assignment of the general partners' interests in surplus cash flow and residual
proceeds.

         Within the Urbana submarket, there are a number of properties which
compete with Town & Country IV. The Company does not believe that the three
preceding projects, Town & Country, Phases I, II & III, directly compete with
Town and Country IV because they are significantly older and of a different
architectural style. The current market demand for rental apartment units in the
submarket has caused the project to achieve a 97% occupancy rate at competitive
rent levels.

         Columbiana Lakes Apartments

         On April 28, 1994, the Company funded an Originated Mortgage with
respect to the construction of a 204 unit project known as Columbiana Lakes
Apts. located in Columbia, South Carolina ("Columbiana Lakes"). The Originated
Mortgage is in the amount of $8,683,000 and is fully insured by HUD under
Section 221(d)(4) of the National Housing Act and applicable HUD regulations. As
of December 31, 1996, $8,016,128 of the mortgage loan had been funded. The
Company provided an additional $563,000 as a non-interest bearing Additional
Loan to the developer. The Additional Loan was made by the Company directly to
the developer to defray certain specific cash requirements in connection with
the Development and is not insured.

         The Originated Mortgage has a term of approximately 40 years, subject
to mandatory prepayment at any time after 10 years, upon 1 years notice, and
bears interest at 7.40% during the construction period and at 7.90% to 8.678%
during the permanent loan period (8.15% on the total of the Originated Mortgage
and Additional Loan). In addition to the interest rate during the permanent loan
period, the Company will be entitled to 25% of cash flow remaining after payment
of 8.678% interest and accrued interest, if any, and certain amounts from sale
or refinancing proceeds. Payments at the rate of 8.678% are guaranteed by the
developer until December 1998. The Additional Loan has a term of ten years plus
the construction period and is secured by an unrecorded mortgage, an assignment
of the general partner's (Ronald P. Curry) and limited partner's (Anderson G.
Wise) interests in the owning entity (Columbiana Lakes Limited Partnership) and
an assignment of the general partner's and limited partner's interests in
surplus cash flow and residual proceeds.

         Within a two mile radius of Columbiana Lakes there are eight properties
of which only two are expected to compete with Columbiana Lakes. Monthly
construction draws will be disbursed to Columbiana Lakes based on percentage
completion of the Development's construction as approved by HUD. The current
market demand for rental apartment units in the submarket has caused the initial
lease-up of the project to reach an 84% occupancy rate at competitive rent
levels.

         Stony Brook Loan

         On December 15, 1995, the Company committed to fund two loans in the
aggregate amount of $9,263,909 (the "Stony Brook Loan" or "Total Loan"), to
SCI-ROEV East Haven Land, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership (the "SCI-ROEV
Partnership" or "Mortgagor"). Stony Brook commenced construction in December
1995. The Mortgagor's general partners (the "General Partners") are SCI Real
Estate Development, Ltd., and ROEV General, Inc.

         The Stony Brook Loan, described below, provided construction and
permanent financing in connection with the construction of 125 apartment units
known as Stony Brook Village II Apartments in East Haven, Connecticut ("Stony
Brook II").

         The Total Loan is comprised of (i) an Originated Mortgage to the
Mortgagor in an amount of $8,500,000 (the "Mortgage Loan") and (ii) a
non-interest bearing Additional Loan to the General Partners in an amount of
$763,909 has been funded. As of December 31, 1996, $6,294,663 of the Mortgage
Loan had been funded.

         The Mortgage Loan was made by Rockport Mortgage Corporation
("Rockport"), an unaffiliated third party, on behalf of the Company. Rockport
received the funds to make the Mortgage Loan from the Company, which purchased a
100% participation interest from Rockport. The Mortgage Loan, which has a term
of 40 years, is evidenced by a note (the "Mortgage Note") and secured by a
non-recourse first mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project.

         The Mortgage Note provides for interest at a rate (the "Note Rate") of
8.625% during the construction period (7.914% on the Total Loan), and 7.75%
during the permanent loan period (7.111% on the Total Loan), commencing 60 days
after completion of construction and continuing until maturity (the "Permanent
Loan Period"). It is anticipated that the construction period for Stony Brook II
will last approximately 16 months. Construction commenced in December 1995. The
Mortgage Loan, with interest at the Note Rate, is insured by HUD under Section
221 (d) (4) of the National Housing Act and applicable HUD regulations. During
the Permanent Loan Period, all interest rates stated herein include a servicing
fee of 0.125% per annum on the Mortgage Loan (0.1147% on the Total Loan) payable
to Rockport. Failure to make any payments due under the Mortgage Note will
constitute a default under HUD regulations.

         Notwithstanding the Note Rate, during the Permanent Loan Period, the
Company is entitled to (a) interest on the Mortgage Loan, at the rate of 9.128%
per annum (8.375% on the Total Loan) (the "Annual Yield"), (b) 40% of
distributable cash remaining, if any, after payment of the Annual Yield and all
accrued payments of Annual Yield due on the Mortgage Loan, and (c) 35% of net
proceeds from capital transactions (such as the (i) sale of the Project, (ii)
sale of a substantial interest in the SCI-ROEV Partnership, (iii) refinancing or
full prepayment of the Total Loan, (iv) acceleration or (v) default) remaining,
if any, after payment of the Annual Yield and all accrued payments of Annual
Yield due on the Mortgage Loan. This amount, in excess of the Note Rate, is
collectively referred to as "Additional Interest". In no event will the
Mortgagor be liable for an aggregate amount in excess of 50% of distributable
cash or net proceeds after payment of the Note Rate.

         GNMA Certificates

         The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of its Offering to
purchase three Ginnie Mae Guaranteed FHA Insured Project Loan Backed
Certificates from unaffiliated third parties. The full amount of the purchase
price of each of the GNMA Certificates was allocated as a permanent Originated
Mortgage. The following table outlines pertinent information relating to the

(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. Also 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



                                      -7-
<PAGE>



         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 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 a
         permanent 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.


         FHA Insured Project Loan

         The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of its Offering to
purchase a FHA Insured Project Loan from an unaffiliated third party. The full
amount of the purchase price was allocated as a permanent Acquired Mortgage. The
table set forth below outlines pertinent information relating to the FHA Insured
Project Loan:

Competition

         As described above, the Company's business is affected by competition
to the extent that the underlying properties from which it is to derive interest
and principal payments may be subject to competition from neighboring
properties.

Employees

         The Company does not directly employ anyone. All services are performed
for the Company by the Advisor and its affiliates. The Advisor receives
compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Item 11, Executive Compensation and
Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. In addition, the
Company reimburses the Advisor and certain of its affiliates for expenses
incurred in connection with the performance by their employees of services for
the Company in accordance with the Declaration of Trust.

Item 2.  Properties.

         The Company does not own or lease any property.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

         The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Shareholders.

         No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report through the solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.

                                     PART II

Item 5.  Market  for the  Registrant's  Common  Stock  and  Related  Shareholder
Matters.

         The Offering terminated as of November 30, 1994. As of December 31,
1996, a total of 3,809,601 shares have been sold to the public, either through
the Offering or the Company's dividend reinvestment plan (the "Reinvestment
Plan"), representing 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 151,918 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 December 31, 1996, 168,943 shares were
redeemed for an aggregate price of $3,206,353.

          The number of shareholders as of December 31, 1996 was 3,575. Although
the shares are freely transferable, shareholders may not be able to liquidate
their investment because the shares are not intended to be included for listing
or quotation on any established market and no public trading market is expected
to develop for the shares, although there may be an informal market. Shares may,
therefore, not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan. Furthermore, even
if an informal market for the sale of shares develops, a shareholder may only be
able to sell its shares at a substantial discount from the public offering
price. Consequently, the purchase of shares should be considered only as a
long-term investment.

Reinvestment Plan

         A Reinvestment Plan is available which enables shareholders to have
their distributions from the Company invested in shares of the Company, or
fractions thereof. The Reinvestment Plan became effective on March 29, 1993, the
effective date of the Offering.

         During the offering period the price per share purchased pursuant to
the Reinvestment Plan equaled $20. From November 30, 1994 (the termination of
the offering period) until November 30, 1997 (the third anniversary of the final
closing date), the price per share purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan
will equal $19. Thereafter, the price per share purchased pursuant to the
Reinvestment Plan will be the greater of $20 (the



                                      -9-
<PAGE>



public offering price) or 95% of the then fair market value of such share (as
determined by the Advisor under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees).

         Shares received pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan will entitle
participants to the same rights and be treated in the same manner as those
issued pursuant to the Offering. In connection with shares issued pursuant to
the Company's Reinvestment Plan, the Company will issue shares to the Advisor in
an amount which will equal (after such issuance) 1% of the outstanding shares.

         Experience under the Reinvestment Plan may indicate that changes are
desirable. The Company's Declaration of Trust gives the Trustees broad powers to
renew, modify, extend, consolidate or cancel the Company's Reinvestment Plan
without the consent of shareholders.

Redemption Plan

         The Company's Redemption Plan became effective November 30, 1994. Under
the Redemption Plan, any shareholder (except the Advisor who cannot participate
in the Redemption Plan) who acquired or received shares directly from the
Company or the Reinvestment Plan (such shares, for so long as owned by the
original holder, are called "Eligible Shares") may present such Eligible Shares
to the Company for redemption. The Company is required to redeem such Eligible
Shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has sufficient net
proceeds ("Reinvestment Proceeds") from the sale of shares under the
Reinvestment Plan. There is no assurance that there will be Reinvestment
Proceeds available for redemption and, accordingly, an investor's shares may not
be redeemed. The full amount of Reinvestment Proceeds in any quarter will be
used to redeem Eligible Shares presented for redemption during such quarter. If
the full amount of Reinvestment Proceeds available for redemption in any given
quarter is insufficient to redeem all Eligible Shares presented for redemption
during such quarter, the Company will redeem the Eligible Shares presented for
redemption on a pro rata whole share basis, without redemption of fractional
shares.

         Upon presentment of Eligible Shares to the Company for redemption, the
redemption price will be $19 per Eligible Share. The Trustees, in their sole
discretion, may determine that it is appropriate to pay a higher price than
described above. The redemption price of $19 will be reduced by that portion of
all distributions received with respect to such share which represent principal
payments.

         A shareholder may present less than all his Eligible Shares to the
Company for redemption, provided, however, that (i) he must present the lesser
of all of his Eligible Shares or 125 Eligible Shares (50 Eligible Shares for an
Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan) for redemption, and (ii) if he
retains any Eligible Shares, he must retain at least 125 Eligible Shares (50
Eligible Shares for an Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan).

         Pursuant to the Redemption Plan, through March 27, 1997, the Company
redeemed 168,943 shares aggregating $3,206,353.

         The Trustees, may amend or suspend the Redemption Plan at any time they
determine, in their sole discretion, that it is in the best interest of the
Company.

             Total for 1995                      $1.4500    $5,569,555
                                                 -------    ----------

         Quarterly distributions were made 45 days following the close of the
calendar quarter and were funded from cash provided from earnings through
approximately the distribution dates.

         There are no material legal restrictions upon the Company's present or
future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Declaration of Trust.

         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 Mortgage Investments
consisting of 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 invested in Mortgage
Investments.

         Of the total distributions of $5,569,283 and $5,566,609 made in the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, $2,281,652 ($.57 per share or 41%) and
$2,419,477 ($.61 per share or 43%) represented returns of capital determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As of December 31,
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 $6,983,015 ($1.74 per share or 43%). The
portion of the distributions which constitutes a return of capital may continue
to be significant during the acquisition stage in order to maintain level
distributions to shareholders. However, the aggregate amount of the disposition
proceeds used for distributions cannot in the aggregate, exceed 3% of the Gross
Proceeds. As of December 31, 1996, the aggregate amount of disposition proceeds
used to support distributions equaled 2.44% of the Gross Proceeds. During the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, no investments were sold in order to
support the distribution policy.

Item 7.  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 the Advisor to the Company. As of
November 30, 1994 (the termination date of the Offering), 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, 151,918 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 December 31,
1996, the Company redeemed 168,943 shares for an aggregate price of $3,206,353.
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 were 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. As a
result of the shares being redeemed, the Advisor was required to return 172
shares as of December 31, 1996.

         During the year ended Demember 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
decreased approximately $1,414,000 primarily due to distributions to
shareholders ($5,569,000) and an increase in investment in loans ($6,148,000)
which exceeded proceeds from the sale of REMIC Certificates ($4,941,000), cash
provided by operating activities ($3,947,000) and principal repayments of loans,
GNMAs, REMICs and the FHA Insured Project Loan ($1,466,000). Included in the
adjustments to reconcile the net income to cash flow from operations is net
amortization in the amount of $463,000.

         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
December 31, 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 December 31, 1996, the Company had funded five Originated
Mortgages (excluding GNMAs-see below) in an aggregate amount of $40,008,791, 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 FHA Insured Project Loan investments included in
shareholders' equity pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 aggregated $81,386 at December 31, 1996. This represents an increase of
$22,323 from December 31, 1995 of which a decrease of $248,254 is attributable
to the sale of securities (which created a realized loss of $415,975) and an
increase of $270,577 is attributed to a decrease in market prices for the
investments held at December 31, 1996 and 1995. As of March 18, 1997, the
unrealized loss was approximately $135,000.

         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



                                      -13-
<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 3 and 4 to
the financial statments in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.


Results of Operations

         Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, primarily consists of interest income from Originated Mortgages, REMIC
Certificates, FHA Insured Project Loan and temporary investments less
administrative expenses, realized losses on sale of REMICs and GNMAs 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 years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

1996 vs 1995

         Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 consist
primarily of interest income of approximately $2,866,000 earned on Originated
Mortgages (excluding GNMAs), approximately $1,307,000 earned from investments in
REMIC and GNMA Certificates and the FHA Insured Project Loan, and approximately
$252,000 earned from temporary investments.

         The increase in interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding
GNMAs) of approximately $608,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 is due to the addition of the Stony Brook Originated Mortgage
in December 1995 and additional advances on the Columbiana Originated Mortgage
during 1995 and 1996.

         The decrease in interest from REMIC and GNMA Certificates and the FHA
Insured Project Loan of approximately $276,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to 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 repayments.

         The decrease in interest income from temporary investments of
approximately $263,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995
is primarily due to a decrease in uninvested proceeds, temporary investments
earning interest in 1996.



                                      -14-
<PAGE>



         The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately
$28,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 is primarily
due to a decrease in printing and stationery expenses.

1995 vs. 1994

         Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 consisted
primarily of interest income of approximately $2,258,000 earned on Originated
Mortgages (excluding GNMAs), approximately $1,583,000 earned from investments in
REMIC and GNMA Certificates and FHA Insured Project Loan, and approximately
$515,000 earned from temporary investments.

           The increase in interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding
GNMAs) of approximately $441,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared
to the year ended December 31, 1994 was due to the addition of two new
Originated Mortgages in April 1994 and one new Originated Mortgage in December
1995.

         The increase in interest income from REMIC and GNMA Certificates and
the FHA Insured Project Loan of approximately $493,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994 was primarily due
to the acquisition of three GNMAs in the third quarter of 1994, four REMICs in
the fourth quarter in 1994 and the acquisition of the FHA Insured Project Loan
in the first quarter in 1995.

         The decrease in interest income from temporary investments of
approximately $117,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994, was primarily due to a decrease in uninvested proceeds
earning interest in 1995.

         The increase in general and administrative related parties expenses of
approximately $67,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994, was primarily due to an increase in asset management
fees as a result of an increase in investments in 1995 as compared to 1994.
There was a realized loss on sale of REMICs and GNMAs and FHA Insured Project
Loan of $439,247 and $298,812 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.


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 December
31, 1996 and 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 December 31, 1996 and 1995 and is included in
other income during the year ended December 31, 1994; 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 years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, no
investments were sold in order to support the distribution policy.

         Of the total distributions of $5,569,283, $5,566,609 and $4,839,766
made for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $2,281,652 ($.57 per
share or 41%), $2,419,477 ($.61 per share or 43%) and $2,220,064 ($.58 per share
or 46%) represents a return of capital determined in accordance with generally
accepted



                                      -15-
<PAGE>



accounting principles. As of December 31, 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
$6,983,015 ($ 1.74 per share or 43%). 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 December 31,
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.

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of American Mortgage Investors
Trust as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and

         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, 151,918 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 December 31, 1996, 168,943 shares were redeemed for an aggregate price of
$3,206,353. 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. 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 December 31, 1996.

         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 December 31, 1996, all of the original Net Proceeds available for
investment had been invested in permanent Mortagage Investments. As of December
31, 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. 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.

NOTE 2 - Accounting Policies

         a) Basis of Accounting

         The books and records of the Company are maintained on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

         b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments with original
maturity dates equal to or less than 3 months and are carried at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates market.

         c) Loan Origination Costs

         Acquisition fees and expenses incurred for the investment of mortgage
loans have been capitalized and are included in investment in loans. Loan
origination costs are being amortized on the effective yield method over the
lives of the respective mortgages.

         d) Organization and Offering Costs

         Costs incurred to organize the Company including, but not limited to,
legal, accounting, and registration fees are considered organization costs.
These costs have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight line basis
over a 60-month period.

         Costs incurred to sell shares including brokerage and nonaccountable
expense allowance are considered offering costs. These costs are charged
directly to shareholders' equity.

         e) Income Taxes

         The Company has qualified as a real estate investment trust under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A real estate investment
trust is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its real
estate investment trust taxable income ("Taxable Income") which is distributed
to its shareholders provided that at least 95% of Taxable Income is distributed.
No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements,
as the Company believes it is in compliance with the Code and has distributed
all of its Taxable Income.

         f) Net Income Per Weighted Average Share

         Net income per weighted average share is computed based on the net
income for the period, divided by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 3,972,625, 3,896,620
and 3,638,977, respectively.

         g) Investments in Mortgage-Backed Securities

         The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". At December
31, 1996 and 1995, the Company has classified its securities as
available-for-sale.

         Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net
unrealized gain (loss) reported as a

separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. A decline in the
market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other
than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new
cost basis for the security.

         Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method.
Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and
losses for securities are included in earnings and are derived using the
specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold.

         h) Reclassifications

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.

         i) Use of Estimates

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

         j) Financial Instruments

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties. Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash
equivalents, investments in loans, investment in REMIC and GNMA Certificates and
FHA Insured Project Loan, interest receivable and accounts payable and accrued
expenses.

         For cash and cash equivalents, investments in loans, interest
receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses the carrying amounts are a
reasonable estimate of fair value. The investment in REMIC and GNMA Certificates
and FHA Insured Project Loan are carried at fair value.

         k) Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan

         Effective January 1, 1995, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114 requires
lenders to measure impaired loans based on: (i) the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loans' effective interest rate; (ii) the
loan's observable market price; or (iii) the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral-dependent. An allowance for loan losses is maintained if the
measure of an impaired loan is less than its recorded investment. Adjustments to
the allowance are made through corresponding charges or credits to the provision
for loan losses.

         SFAS No. 114 made certain changes to existing accounting principles
applicable to in-substance foreclosures and restructured loans. SFAS No. 114
substantially narrows the definition of an in-substance foreclosure to
situations in which the lender has physical possession of the collateral.

         SFAS No. 114 was amended by SFAS No. 118 which allows for
existing income recognition practices to continue. The implementation of SFAS
Nos. 114 and 118 did not have any impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 - 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. Also 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 portion 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 a
         permanent 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.

the economic gain on the sale of Mortgage Investments;  (iv) an amount,  payable
in shares of the Company which,  after issuance,  will equal 1% of all shares of
the Company  issued  during the  offering  period or  pursuant to the  Company's

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). These persons are required by regulation of the
Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996, the Company's officers, directors and greater than ten
percent beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing
requirements.

The Advisor

         The Advisor is Related AMI Associates, Inc. The directors and executive
officers of the Advisor are set forth below. These officers of the Advisor may
also provide services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

         The Company has six executive officers and three Trustees (two of whom
are Independent Trustees). The Company does not pay or accrue any fees, salaries
or other forms of compensation to its officers. Independent Trustees receive
compensation for serving as Trustees at the rate of $10,000 per year. Certain
directors and officers of the Advisor and certain officers of the Company
receive compensation from the Advisor and its affiliates for services performed
for various affiliated entities, which may include services performed for the
Company. Such compensation may be based in part on the performance of the
Company; however, the Advisor believes that any compensation attributable to
services performed for the Company is immaterial. See also Note 5 to the
financial statements above in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

         As of December 31, 1996, no person was known by the Company to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of the
Company. The Advisor purchased 10,000 Shares at an aggregate purchase price of
$200,000 prior to the Offering. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the
Offering and the Advisory Services Agreement, the Company will issue shares to
the Advisor in an amount which will equal (after such issuance) 1% of the shares
of the Company as compensation for services rendered in connection with the
organization of the Company. During the Offering the Advisor received 38,481
shares, in addition to the 10,000 shares purchased by the Advisor, however as a
result of shares being redeemed the Advisor was required to return 172 shares.
As of December 31, 1996, shares received by the Advisor totaled 38,309 at a
total value of $565,058 ($14.75 per share). Such costs have been charged
directly to shareholders' equity as part of offering costs. As of December 31,
1996, J. Michael Fried, Trustee of the Trust, owned 1,920 shares of the Trust.
No other directors and officers or trustees of the Advisor or the Company own
any shares of the Company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

         The Company has and will continue to have certain relationships with
the Advisor and its affiliates, as discussed in Item 11, Executive Compensation
and Note 5 to Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. However,
there have been no direct financial transactions between the Company and the
directors and officers of the Advisor.

                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Members
Cove Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cove Apartments, L.C. (a Texas
Limited  Liability  Company),  U.S.  Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD")  Project  Number  114-1112-REF,  as of December 31, 1996 and the related
statements of profit and loss, changes in members' equity and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 1996. These financial  statements are the responsibility
of the  company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing standards
and Government  Auditing  Standards,  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United  States.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the overall  financial  statements
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in a
material respects, the financial position of Cove Apartments, L.C. (the Company)
as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its  operations,  changes in members'
equity  and cash  flows for the year then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

In accordance  with Government  Auditing  Standards and the  Consolidated  Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs  issued by the U.S.  Department  of Housing and
Urban  Development,  we have also issued a report dated February 7, 1997, on its
compliance  and  specific  requirements  applicable  to major HUD  programs  and
specific requirements applicable to Affirmative Fair Housing.

Our audit was  conducted  for the  purpose  of  forming  an opinion on the basic
financial   statements  taken  as  a  whole.   The  accompanying   supplementary
information  shown on pages  11-21 are  presented  for  purposes  of  additional
analysis and is not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements  of the
Company.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial  statements  and, in our opinion,  is fairly
stated in all material in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a
whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


Note 1   Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

         Organization

         Cove  Apartments,  L.C.  (the  "Company")  was  organized  as a Limited
         Liability  Company  on June 25,  1992,  under  the laws of the State of
         Texas,  for the purpose of acquiring and operating a housing project or
         projects with the assistance of mortgage  insurance  under the National
         Housing  Act,   Section  223F.  Such  projects  are  regulated  by  the
         Department of Housing and Urban  Development  ("HUD").  The  Regulatory
         Agreement  limits  distributions  of net  operating  income to "surplus
         cash"  available for  distribution at the end of a semiannual or annual
         fiscal period.  The Limited  Liability  Company will terminate June 24,
         2032, according to the terms of the Articles of Organization.

         On December 16, 1993, the Members of Cove Apartments,  L.C. contributed
         a 308 unit  multifamily  project  located  at 2000 Bay  Area  Blvd.  in
         Houston, Texas known as the Cove Apartments (the "Project') and certain
         other  assets to the  Company.  Concurrently,  the  Company  obtained a
         mortgage  loan  in the  amount  of  $6,800,000,  collateralized  by the
         Project and other  assets.  The Project was  recorded by the Company at
         the members' net carrying  basis of $6,127,303  which  represents  cost
         less accumulated  depreciation.  The proceeds of the mortgage loan were
         used to repay the members'  existing  debt on the Project,  fund escrow
         balances and pay closing  costs all of which were funded at closing and
         did not flow through the cash  accounts of the Company.  The  aggregate
         amount of the  assets  contributed,  including  the  Project  and other
         assets and escrow  balances,  in excess of the  mortgage  loan  totaled
         $378,206 and was recorded as a capital contribution.

         Revenue Recognition

         The Company  recognizes  real estate rental revenue in accordance  with
         the terms of the respective leases.

         Property, Furniture and Equipment

         Property,   furniture  and  equipment  are  carried  at  cost  and  are
         depreciated  using the straight line method over the  estimated  useful
         lives of 5 to 10 years for  furniture  and equipment and 20 to 40 years
         for building and building improvements.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,1996

Note 1    Organization  and  Summary  of  Significant   Accounting   Policies
          (Continued)

          Financing Costs

          Financing  costs consist  principally  of fees incurred in conjunction
          with  obtaining  the permanent  mortgage loan and are being  amortized
          over the 35 year term of the  mortgage  loan  using the  straight-line
          method.

          Income Taxes

          No provision  for Federal  income taxes is made in the accounts of the
          Company  since  taxes  on  its  operations  are  the   obligations  of
          individual members.

          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.

Note 2    Mortgage Loan Payable

          The mortgage loan payable to TRI Capital Corporation bears interest at
          7.625%  and is due  in  monthly  installments  of  $46,457,  including
          interest,   through  January  1,  2029.  The  Company's  property  and
          equipment and the various funded reserves  collateralize  the mortgage
          loan.

          Annual  principal  payments for years  subsequent to December 31, 1996
          are as follows:

          Years Ending December 31.                        Amount

                                                      ============
Note 3    Real Estate Leases

          At December 31, 1996  approximately 80% of the Projects 308 units were
          committed  under  either   month-to-month   leases  or   noncancelable
          operating leases with terms varying from-six to twelve months.  Future
          minimum real estate  rental income under the  noncancelable  operating
          leases existing at December 31, 1996,  expected during the year ending
          December 31, 1997 is approximately $477,933.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC
               REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO AFFIRMATIVE FAIR HOUSING

The Members Cove Apartments, LC.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD")  Project No.  114-11122-REF,  Cove  Apartments,  L.C.  (the
Company) for the year ended December 31, 1996 and have issued our report thereon
dated February 7, 1997.

We have applied procedures to test the Company's compliance with the Affirmative
Fair Housing  requirements  applicable to its HUD assisted programs for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

Our procedures were limited to the applicable  compliance  requirement described
in the  Consolidated  Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs  issued by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General in July
1993.  Our  procedures  were  substantially  less in  scope  than an  audit  the
objective  of which  would be the  expression  of an  opinion  on the  Company's
compliance with the Affirmative Fair Housing  requirements.  Accordingly,  we do
not express such an opinion.

The  results of our tests  disclosed  no  instances  of  noncompliance  that are
required to be reported herein under the Guide.

This  report  is  intended  for the  information  of  management  and  the  U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, this report is a matter of
public record and its distribution is not limited.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC
                  REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO MAJOR HUD PROGRAMS

The Members
Cove Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD")  Project No.  114-11122-REF,  Cove  Apartments,  L.C.  (the
Company) for the year ended December 31, 1996 and have issued our report thereon
dated  February 7, 1997. In addition,  we have audited the Company's  compliance
with the specific program  requirements  governing mortgage status,  replacement
reserve,  security  deposits  and  cash  receipts  and  disbursements  that  are
applicable  to each of its  major  HUD-assisted  programs,  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1996. The management of Cove  Apartments,  L.C. is responsible  for
compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on compliance with those requirements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing  Standards,  issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States, and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the Guide')
issued  by the U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and Urban  Development,  Office of
Inspector  General in July 1993.  Those  standards and the Guide require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material
noncompliance  with  the  requirements  referred  to  above  occurred.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test basis,  evidence about the Companies  compliance
with those  requirements.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

The results of our audit procedures disclosed no instances of noncompliance with
the requirements referred to above, that are required to be reported herein.

In our opinion, Cove Apartments, L.C. complied in all material respects with the
requirements  governing  Section 207 pursuant to Section  223(f) of the National
Housing Act that are  applicable  to each of its HUD  assisted  programs for the
year ended December 31, 1 996.

This  report  is  intended  for the  information  of  management  and  the  U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, this report is a matter of
public record and its distribution is not limited.

              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL
                  STRUCTURE (COMBINED REPORT APPLICABLE TO THE
                 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND HUD-ASSISTED PROGRAMS)

The Members 
Cove Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD")  Project No.  1114-11122-REF  Cove  Apartments,  L.C.  (the
Company)  as of and for the year ended  December  31,  1996 and have  issued our
report  thereon  dated  February 7, 1997.  We have also  audited  the  Company's
compliance with requirements  applicable to major HUD-assisted programs and have
issued our report thereon dated February 7, 1997.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government  Auditing  Standards,  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United States,  and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the
Guide ), issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,  Office
of the Inspector  General,  in July 1993.  Those standards and the Guide require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial  statements are free of material  misstatements  and about whether
the Company complied with laws and regulations,  noncompliance  with which would
be material to a major HUD assisted program.

The management of Cove  Apartments,  L.C. is responsible  for  establishing  and
maintaining an internal control  structure.  In fulfilling this  responsibility,
estimates  and  judgments  by  management  are  required to assess the  expected
benefits  and  related  costs  of  internal  control   structure   policies  and
procedures.  The  objections  of an internal  control  structure  are to provide
management  with  reasonable,  but  not  absolute,  assurance  that  assets  are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions
are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly
to permit the  preparation of financial  statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting  principles,  and that HUD-assisted  programs are managed in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations
in any  internal  control  structure,  errors,  irregularities,  or instances of
noncompliance may nevertheless  occur and not be detected.  Also,  projection of
any  evaluation  of the  stature  to future  periods is subject to the risk that
procedures  may become  inadequate  because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness  of the  design and  operation  of  policies  and  procedures  may
deteriorate.

In planning and performing an  understanding  of the design of relevant  Optimal
control structure  policies and procedures and determined  whether they had been
placed in  operation,  and we assessed  control risk in order to  determine  our
auditing  procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the Company's
financial statements and on its compliance with specific requirements applicable
to its  major  HUD-assisted  programs  and the  report on the  Internal  control
structure in accordance  with the provisions of the Guide and not to provide any
assurance on the Internal control structure.

We  performed  tests of  controls,  as  required by the Guide,  to evaluate  the
effectiveness of the design and operation of Internal control structure policies
and procedures that we considered  relevant to preventing or detecting  material
noncompliance  with specific  requirements  applicable to the major HUD-assisted
programs. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to render an
opinion on such Internal control polices and procedures.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Our consideration of the Internal  structure would not necessarily  disclose all
matters in the  Internal  control  structure  that might be material  weaknesses
under  standards  established  by the American  Institute  of  Certified  Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation
of one or more of the Internal control  structure  elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level risk that error or  irregularities in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial  statements or that noncompliance laws and
regulations  that would be material to a HUD-assisted  program may occur and not
be  detected  within a timely  period  by  employees  in the  nominal  course of
performing their assigned functions.. We noted no matters involving the Internal
control structure and its operations that we consider to be material  weaknesses
as defined above.

This report is intended for the information of the audit committee,  management,
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  However,  this report is a
matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Members
Oxford Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Oxford  Apartments,  L.C. (a
Texas  Limited  Liability  Company),   U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban
Development ("HUD") Project Number 114-1112-REF, as of December 31, 1996 and the
related statements of profit and loss, changes in members' equity and cash flows
for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing standards
and Government  Auditing  Standards,  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United  States.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the overall  financial  statements
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in a
material respects, the financial position of Cove Apartments, L.C. (the Company)
as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its  operations,  changes in members'
equity  and cash  flows for the year then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

In accordance  with Government  Auditing  Standards and the  Consolidated  Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs  issued by the U.S.  Department  of Housing and
Urban  Development,  we have also issued a report dated February 7, 1997, on its
compliance  and  specific  requirements  applicable  to major HUD  programs  and
specific requirements applicable to Affirmative Fair Housing.

Our audit was  conducted  for the  purpose  of  forming  an opinion on the basic
financial   statements  taken  as  a  whole.   The  accompanying   supplementary
information  shown on pages  11-21  is  presented  for  purposes  of  additional
analysis and is not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements  of the
Company.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial  statements  and, in our opinion,  is fairly
stated in all material in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a
whole.

          obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of  $9,350,000,  collateralized
          by the Project  and other  assets.  The  Project  was  recorded by the
          Company  at the  members'  net  carrying  basis  of  $8,614,164  which
          represents  cost less  accumulated  depreciation.  The proceeds of the
          mortgage  loan were used to repay the  members'  existing  debt on the
          Project,  fund escrow balances and pay closing costs all of which were
          funded at closing and did not flow  through  the cash  accounts of the
          Company. The aggregate amount of the assets contributed, including the
          Project  and  other  assets  and  escrow  balances,  in  excess of the
          mortgage  loan  totaled   $484,789  and  was  recorded  as  a  capital
          contribution.

          Revenue Recognition

          The Company  recognizes  real estate rental revenue in accordance with
          the terms of the respective leases.

          Property, Furniture and Equipment

          Property,  furniture  and  equipment  are  carried  at  cost  and  are
          depreciated  using the straight line method over the estimated  useful
          lives of 5 to 10 years for  furniture and equipment and 19 to 40 years
          for building and building improvements.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,1996

Note 1   Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

          Financing Costs

          Financing  costs consist  principally  of fees incurred in conjunction
          with  obtaining  the permanent  mortgage loan and are being  amortized
          over the 35 year term of the  mortgage  loan  using the  straight-line
          method.

          Income Taxes

          No provision  for Federal  income taxes is made in the accounts of the
          Company  since  taxes  on  its  operations  are  the   obligations  of
          individual members.

          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.

Note 2    Mortgage Loan Payable

          The mortgage loan payable to TRI Capital Corporation bears interest at
          7.625%  and is due  in  monthly  installments  of  $63,878,  including
          interest,   through  January  1,  2029.  The  Company's  property  and
          equipment and the various funded reserves  collateralize  the mortgage
          loan.

          Annual  principal  payments for years  subsequent to December 31, 1996
          are as follows:

             Years Ending December 31,                 Amount
             ------------------------
                     1997                          $ 69,293

                   Thereafter                     8,768,654
                                                 ----------
                                                 $9,175,531
                                                 ==========

Note 3    Real Estate Leases

          At December 31, 1996  approximately 92% of the Projects 308 units were
          committed  under  either   month-to-month   leases  or   noncancelable
          operating leases with terms varying from six to twelve months.  Future
          minimum real estate  rental income under the  noncancelable  operating
          leases existing at December 31, 1996,  expected during the year ending
          December 31, 1997 is approximately $824,389.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC
               REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO AFFIRMATIVE FAIR HOUSING

The Members
Oxford Apartments, LC.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD") Project No.  114-11123-REF,  Oxford  Apartments,  L.C. (the
Company) for the year ended December 31, 1996 and have issued our report thereon
dated February 7, 1997.

We have applied procedures to test the Company's compliance with the Affirmative
Fair Housing requirements  applicable to its HUD-assisted  programs for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

Our procedures were limited to the applicable  compliance  requirement described
in the  Consolidated  Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs  issued by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General in July
1993.  Our  procedures  were  substantially  less in  scope  than an  audit  the
objective  of which  would be the  expression  of an  opinion  on the  Company's
compliance with the Affirmative Fair Housing  requirements.  Accordingly,  we do
not express such an opinion.

The  results of our tests  disclosed  no  instances  of  noncompliance  that are
required to be reported herein under the Guide.

This  report  is  intended  for the  information  of  management  and  the  U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, this report is a matter of
public record and as distribution is not limited.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC
                  REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO MAJOR HUD PROGRAMS

The Members
Oxford Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  (-HUD') Project No.  114-11122-REF,  Oxford  Apartments,  L.C. (the
Company) for the year ended December 31, 1996 and have issued our report thereon
dated  February 7, 1997. In addition,  we have audited the Company's  compliance
with the specific program  requirements  governing mortgage status,  replacement
reserve,  security  deposits  and  cash  receipts  and  disbursements  that  are
applicable  to each of its  major  HUD-assisted  programs,  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1996. The management of Cove  Apartments,  L.C. is responsible  for
compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on compliance with those requirements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing  Standards,  issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States, and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the Guide')
issued  by the U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and Urban  Development,  Office of
Inspector  General in July 1993.  Those  standards and the Guide require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material
noncompliance  with  the  requirements  referred  to  above  occurred.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Companys compliance with
those  requirements.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis for
our opinion.

The results of our audit procedures disclosed no instances of noncompliance with
the requirements referred to above, that are required to be reported herein.

In our opinion,  Oxford Apartments,  L.C. complied in all material respects with
the  requirements  governing  Section  207  pursuant  to  Section  223(f) of the
National  Housing Act that are  applicable to each of its HUD assisted  programs
for the year ended December 31, 1996.

This  report  is  intended  for the  information  of  management  and  the  U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, this report is a matter of
public record and its distribution is not limited.

              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL
                  STRUCTURE (COMBINED REPORT APPLICABLE TO THE
                 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND HUD^SSISTED PROGRAMS)

The Members
Oxford Apartments, L.C.

We have audited the financial statements of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD")  Project No.  114-11123-REF  Oxford  Apartments,  L.C. (the
Company)  as of and for the year ended  December  31,  1996 and have  issued our
report  thereon  dated  February 7, 1997.  We have also  audited  the  Companies
compliance with requirements  applicable to major HUD-assisted programs and have
issued our report thereon dated February 7, 1997.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government  Auditing  Standards,  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United States,  and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the
Guide ), issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,  Office
of the Inspector  General,  in July 1993.  Those standards and the Guide require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial  statements are free of material  misstatements  and about whether
the Company complied with laws and regulations,  noncompliance  with which would
be material to a major HUD assisted program.

The management of Cove  Apartments,  L.C. is responsible  for  establishing  and
maintaining an internal control  structure.  In fulfilling this  responsibility,
estimates  and  judgments  by  management  are  required to assess the  expected
benefits  and  related  costs  of  internal  control   structure   policies  and
procedures.  The  objections  of an internal  control  structure  are to provide
management  with  reasonable,  but  not  absolute,  assurance  that  assets  are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions
are executed in accordance with managements  authorization and recorded properly
to permit the  preparation of financial  statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting  principles,  and that HUD-assisted  programs are managed in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations
in any  internal  control  structure,  errors,  irregularities,  or instances of
noncompliance may nevertheless  occur and not be detected.  Also,  projection of
any  evaluation  of the  stature  to future  periods is subject to the risk that
procedures  may become  inadequate  because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness  of the  design and  operation  of  policies  and  procedures  may
deteriorate.

In planning and performing an  understanding  of the design of relevant  Optimal
control structure  policies and procedures and determined  whether they had been
placed in  operation,  and we  assessed  contra risk in order to  determine  our
auditing  procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the Company's
financial statements and on its compliance with specific requirements applicable
to its  major  HUD-assisted  programs  and the  report on the  internal  control
structure in accordance  with the provisions of the Guide and not to provide any
assurance on the internal control structure.

We  performed  tests of  controls,  as  required by the Guide,  to evaluate  the
effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies
and procedures that we considered  relevant to preventing or detecting  material
noncompliance  with specific  requirements  applicable to the major HUD-assisted
programs. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to render an
opinion on such Internal control polices and procedures.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Our consideration of the Internal  structure would not necessarily  disclose all
matters in the  internal  control  structure  that might be material  weaknesses
under  standards  established  by the American  Institute  of  Certified  Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation
of one or more of the Internal control  structure  elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level risk that error or  irregularities in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial  statements or that noncompliance laws and
regulations  that would be material to a HUD-assisted  program may occur and not
be  detected  within a timely  period  by  employees  in the  nominal  course of
performing their assigned functions.. We noted no matters involving the internal
control structure and its operations that we consider to be material  weaknesses
as defined above.

This report is intended for the information of the audit committee,  management,
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  However,  this report is a
matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.
