                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

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

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. As of June 30, 1998, the backlog of shares to be redeemed is
129,029.

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 principals. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of the Advisor, the accompanying
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company as of June 30, 1998, the results of its operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. However, the operating results for the
interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

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 three and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 3,840,656 and 3,849,317 and 3,844,835
and 3,849,921, respectively.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income on January 1,
1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The statement
also requires the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income to be
displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in
the equity section of the balance sheet. Total comprehensive income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $873,250 and $911,219 and
$1,794,787 and $1,692,285, respectively.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information on January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards
for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim
financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Categories required to be
reported as well as reconciled to the financial statements are segment profit or
loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The
Company operates in one segment, investment in mortgages or mortgage backed
securities.

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

undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to

the occurrence of unanticipated events.

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

During 1997 the Company completed the offering and acquisition stage and 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. Not more than an aggregate of 7% of the Net Proceeds raised in the
Offering may be invested in Additional Loans. As of June 30, 1998, 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.

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. As of June 30, 1998, the backlog of shares to be redeemed is
129,029.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents increased
approximately $462,000 due to principal repayments of loans, GNMAs and REMICs
($1,085,000) and cash provided by operating activities ($2,153,000) which
exceeded distributions to shareholders ($2,776,000). Included in the adjustments
to reconcile the net income to cash provided by operating activities is net
amortization in the amount of $235,000.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

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

Net unrealized gains on REMIC and GNMA investments included in shareholders'
equity pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
aggregated $119,178 at June 30, 1998. This represents a decrease of $54,420 in
the unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 1998, of which a decrease
of $14,159 is attributable to the sale of securities (which resulted in a
realized loss of $617) and a decrease of $40,261 is attributable to a decrease
in market prices for the investments held at June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997. As of August 10, 1998, the unrealized gain was approximately $140,865.

The yield on the REMIC and GNMA Certificates will depend, in part, upon the rate
and timing of principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages in the asset
pool. Generally, as market interest rates decrease, mortgage prepayment rates
increase and the market value of interest rate sensitive obligations like the
REMIC and GNMA Certificates increases. As market interest rates increase,
mortgage prepayment rates tend to decrease and the market value of interest rate
sensitive obligations like the REMICs and GNMAs tends to decrease. The effect of
prepayments on yield is greater the earlier a prepayment of principal is
received. 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 expects to use its reinvestment dividend to redeem shares through
its Redemption Plan and does not expect to have reinvested dividends available
for investment. Unadvanced amounts of Originated Mortgages will be invested in
temporary investments. The Company expects that cash generated from the
Company's investments will be sufficient to pay all of the Company's expenses in
the foreseeable future.

The Company's liquidity is based primarily on interest received from permanent
Mortgage Investments. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended, the Com-

                                      -16-

pany must, among other things, distribute at least 95% of its taxable income.

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

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, consists
of interest income from Originated Mortgages, REMIC certificates and temporary
investments less administrative expenses, realized losses on sale of REMICs and
GNMAs and amortization expenses. Results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, primarily consists of interest income from
Originated Mortgages, REMIC certificates, a FHA Insured Project Loan and
temporary investments less administrative expenses, realized losses on sale of
REMICs and GNMAs, and a 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 such excess for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding GNMAs) increased
approximately $18,000 and $87,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997 primarily due to the
additional advances on the Stonybrook Originated Mortgage during 1997 and the
receipt of cash flow interest in the first quarter of 1998 from Oxford.

Interest income from temporary investments decreased approximately $25,000 and
$45,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1997 primarily due to a decrease in temporarily
invested proceeds earning interest in 1998.

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $49,000 and $59,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1997 primarily due to a decrease in printing, expense
reimbursements to the Advisor for certain administrative and other costs
incurred on behalf of the Company as well as decreases in several other general
and administrative expenses in 1998.

Realized loss on sale of REMICs and GNMAs and FHA Insured Project Loan decreased
approximately $52,000 and $61,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the cor-

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

responding periods in 1997 primarily due to the repayment of four REMICs and the
FHA Insured Project Loan in 1997.

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

The Company has completed the offering and acquisition stage and therefore, in
1997 the Board reviewed and changed the distribution policy. Beginning in 1998,
the Company's distribution policy calls for quarterly distributions which more
closely reflect collections of interest payments.

Of the total distributions of $2,775,826 and $2,783,760 made for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, $926,619 ($.24 per share or 33%) and $1,074,787
($.27 per share or 39%) represents a return of capital determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. As of June 30, 1998, 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 $9,939,351. The portion of the distributions
which constitutes a return of capital was 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 June 30, 1998, the
aggregate amount of disposition proceeds used to support distributions equaled
2.44% of the Gross Proceeds.

Management expects that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the
Company's operating expenses and to make distributions as determined by the
Board on a quarterly basis.

Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted
- -----------------------------------------------

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133") "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of
the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge
of foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an
unrecog-

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

nized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. This Statement is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have any impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The Advisor is in the process of working with the Company's
service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on information currently
available, the Company does not expect that it will incur significant operating
expenses or be required to incur material costs to be year 2000 compliant.
