PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Main Place Real Estate Investment Trust (MPREIT) is an indirect subsidiary of
NationsBank Corporation (the Corporation). MPREIT was established on October 29,
1996 as a Maryland real estate investment trust to consolidate the acquisition,
holding and management of certain closed-end residential mortgage loans owned by
certain affiliates of the Corporation. MPREIT also issues and sells
mortgage-backed bonds and subordinated indebtedness and acquires, owns, holds
and pledges the related mortgage notes and other assets serving as collateral in
connection therewith. On November 1, 1996, Main Place Funding Corporation (MPFC)
was merged with and into MPREIT, and MPREIT assumed MPFC's obligations under its
mortgage-backed bonds and subordinated indebtedness.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
MPREIT does not own or lease any physical property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
MPREIT has no legal actions or proceedings pending.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Omitted in accordance with General Instruction I to Form 10-K.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
There is no public trading market for MPREIT's Class A Trust Shares (Class A
common shares) or Class B Trust Shares (Class B common shares). On December 31,
1996, all of MPREIT's outstanding shares of Class A common shares were held by
Main Place Holdings Corporation (MP Holdings), a wholly owned subsidiary of
NationsBank, N.A. On December 31, 1996, all of the outstanding shares of MPREIT
Class B common shares were held by NationsBank, N.A. During 1996 and 1995, MPFC
paid aggregate cash dividends of $47.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively,
on its common shares to affiliated entities. In 1996, MPREIT paid aggregate cash
dividends of $139.5 million and $15 thousand, respectively, on its Class A
common shares and Class B common shares.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Omitted in accordance with General Instruction I to Form 10-K.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $193.0 million and
$31.2 million, respectively. The increase in net income reflects the impact of
several factors including the levels and average interest yields on the mortgage
loan portfolio, the issuance of the Series 1995-1 and 1995-2 Bonds and the
subordinated notes, the effects of securities market conditions, the
volatility of interest rates and MPREIT's election for real estate investment
trust status.
2
<PAGE>
Interest income increased $289 million in 1996 when compared to 1995 due
primarily to a $3.7 billion increase in average loans outstanding to $6.4
billion in 1996. The increase in average loans in 1996 was primarily due to the
contribution of loans from affiliates of the Corporation. Interest expense
increased $111 million in 1996 when compared to 1995 due primarily to a $2.1
billion increase in average mortgage-backed bonds outstanding. Other operating
expenses increased $8.5 million to $17.6 million in 1996 compared to 1995 due
primarily to higher mortgage servicing costs associated with the increase in
year-to-date average loans outstanding as discussed above and a $1.0 million
intercompany charge primarily for services performed in connection with the
formation of the real estate investment trust.
The average yields on the mortgage loans for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 were 7.53 percent and 7.34 percent, respectively. Changes in the
average yield are primarily related to the mix between fixed- and
adjustable-rate loans, the repricing terms of adjustable rate loans, the impact
of the general level of interest rates, the levels of prepayments on mortgage
loans and scheduled amortization of the portfolio as a whole. The average
yield on securities available for sale was 7.08 percent for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
The average interest rates on the outstanding mortgage-backed bonds for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 5.89 percent and 6.27 percent,
respectively. The average interest rates on the outstanding subordinated notes
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 6.36 percent and 7.90
percent, respectively. To manage its interest rate risk MPREIT utilizes
generic option products, primarily interest rate caps and floors. Interest
rate caps and floors are agreements where, for a fee, the purchaser obtains
the right to receive interest payments when a variable interest rate moves
above or below a specified cap or floor rate, respectively. At December
31, 1996, MPREIT had a gross notional amount of $2.0 billion in outstanding
interest rate cap and floor contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of

all material respects, the financial position of Main Place Real Estate
Investment Trust (the Trust) at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 and for the period from inception through December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

MAIN PLACE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Main Place Real Estate Investment Trust (MPREIT) is a wholly owned indirect
subsidiary of NationsBank, N.A., which is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
NationsBank Corporation (the Corporation). MPREIT was established on October 29,
1996 as a Maryland real estate investment trust to consolidate the acquisition,
holding and management of certain closed-end residential mortgage loans owned by
certain afilliates of the Corporation.
As a result of the merger of Main Place Funding Corporation (MPFC) with and into
MPREIT on November 1, 1996, MPREIT issues and sells mortgage-backed bonds and
subordinated indebtedness and acquires, owns, holds and pledges the related
mortgage notes and other assets serving as collateral in connection therewith.
The merger between MPREIT and MPFC was accounted for as a pooling of interests
of entities under common control and, accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements include the results of operations and financial condition of MPFC
since inception.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant
estimates made by management are discussed in these footnotes as applicable.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period
classifications.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash items in the process of collection and
amounts due from affiliated banks.
SECURITIES
Securities are classified based on management's intention on the date of
purchase. Securities which management has the intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held for investment and reported at amortized cost.
All other securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair
value with net unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders' equity.
Interest and dividends on securities, including amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts, are included in interest income. Realized gains and
losses from the sales of securities are determined using the specific
identification method.
LOANS
Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances, net of any
charge-offs and unamortized premiums or discounts. Discounts and premiums are
amortized to income using methods that approximate the interest method.
NONPERFORMING LOANS
Residential mortgages are generally placed on nonperforming status at 120 days
past due or upon inception of foreclosure proceedings. Ordinarily, interest
accrued but not collected is charged off along with the principal.
11
<PAGE>
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is available to absorb losses inherent in the
credit extension process. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are
charged against the allowance for credit losses. Recoveries of previously
charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
MPREIT's process for determining an appropriate allowance for credit losses
includes management's judgment and use of estimates. The adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses is reviewed regularly by management. Additions to
the allowance for credit losses are made by charges to the provision for credit
losses. On a quarterly basis, a comprehensive review of the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses is performed. This assessment is made in the context
of historical losses, as well as existing economic conditions and performance
trends within specific portfolio segments and individual concentrations of
credit.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Loans are classified as other real estate owned when MPREIT forecloses on a
property or when physical possession of the collateral is taken regardless of
whether foreclosure proceedings have taken place. Other real estate owned is
carried at the lower of (1) the recorded amount of the loan for which the
foreclosed property previously served as collateral or (2) the fair value of the
property minus estimated costs to sell. Prior to foreclosure, the recorded
amount of the loan is reduced, if necessary, to the fair value, minus estimated
costs to sell, of the real estate to be acquired by charging the allowance for
credit losses.
Subsequent to foreclosure, gains or losses on the sale of and losses on the
periodic revaluation of other real estate owned are credited or charged to
expense. Net costs of maintaining and operating foreclosed properties are
expensed as incurred.
Risk Management Instruments
Interest rate caps and floors are used to modify the interest rate
characteristics of MPREIT's mortgage-backed bonds. These instruments are
designated as hedges and must be effective throughout the hedge period. These
instruments are accounted for on the accrual basis with revenues or expenses
recognized as adjustments to interest expense on the mortgage-backed bonds.
Option premiums are amortized over the option life on a straight-line basis.
INCOME TAXES
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is subject to a number of organizational
and operational requirements, including the requirement that it currently
distribute to beneficial holders at least 95 percent of its "real estate
investment trust taxable income." For the period subsequent to November 1, 1996,
MPREIT is electing to be taxed as a real estate investment trust and
accordingly, no current or deferred tax expense was provided after
November 1, 1996.
Prior to November 1, 1996, MPREIT did not qualify as a real estate investment
trust and its operating results were included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of the Corporation. The method of allocating federal income tax
expense was determined under a tax allocation agreement with the Corporation.
This agreement specified that income tax expense be computed for all
subsidiaries on a separate company method, taking into account tax planning
strategies and the tax position of the consolidated group. There were two
components of income tax provision: current and deferred. Current income tax
provisions approximated taxes to be paid or refunded for the applicable period.
Balance sheet amounts of deferred taxes were recognized on the temporary
differences between the bases of assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws
and their bases as reported in the financial statements. Deferred tax expense or
benefit was then recognized for the change in deferred tax liabilities or assets
between periods. Recognition of deferred tax balance sheet amounts was based on
management's belief that it was more likely than not that the tax benefit
associated with certain temporary differences, tax operating loss carryforwards
and tax credits would be realized.

MPREIT had $28 million of nonperforming loans on December 31, 1996 and $.2
million on December 31, 1995. The increase of nonperforming loans was the result
of a higher average loans balance during 1996.
Other real estate owned amounted to $.5 million on December 31, 1996 compared to
$.8 million on December 31, 1995.
NOTE 4 - AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the merger of MPFC into MPREIT on November 1, 1996,
NationsBank, N.A., NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (NationsBank Texas) and
NationsBank, N.A. (South) (NationsBank South), each wholly owned indirect
subsidiaries of the Corporation, contributed an aggregate of approximately $10.9
billion of mortgage loans to MPREIT.
During 1996 and 1995, NationsBank Texas contributed $502 million and $3.4
billion, respectively, of mortgage loans to MPREIT at fair value in order to
establish or maintain collateral requirements on the mortgage-backed bonds.
During 1996, NationsBank South contributed an aggregate of approximately $871
million of mortgage loans and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA)
certificates to MPREIT at fair value in order to maintain collateral
requirements on the mortgage-backed bonds.
During 1996, MPREIT distributed a dividend of certain assets with a book value
of $52 million to NationsBank South and NationsBank Texas. Also, MPREIT made
other capital distributions totaling $504.3 million to NationsBank Texas and
NationsBank South.
MPREIT has entered into agreements with NationsBanc Mortgage Corporation, a
subsidiary of NationsBank Texas, and with NationsBank, N.A. for the servicing
and administration of its mortgage portfolio. Servicing fees paid to NationsBanc
Mortgage Corporation approximated $16.3 million and $7.7 million for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During 1996, MPREIT entered into an agreement with NationsBank, N.A. for
advisory services. Advisory fees paid to NationsBank, N.A. were not significant
in 1996.
MPREIT maintains its cash and cash equivalent accounts primarily with
NationsBank Texas. At December 31, 1996, MPREIT had $214.9 million of accounts
receivable from affiliates of the Corporation. These receivables are related to
mortgage payments in process and generally clear within 30 days.

NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT
In September 1994, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
MPFC's shelf registration statement (Registration Statement) to issue up to $4
billion of Mortgage-Backed Bonds (Bonds). The obligations of MPFC under the
Bonds were assumed by MPREIT pursuant to the merger of MPFC with and into MPREIT
on November 1, 1996. The Bonds, which are issuable in series pursuant to
separate indentures, are generally subject to the following terms. The Bonds,
collateralized primarily by mortgage loans on 1-to-4 family dwellings, are
obligations solely of MPREIT. The Bonds are not prepayable at the option of
MPREIT, but are subject to redemption in whole or in part under certain
circumstances. Under the terms of an indenture relating to each series of Bonds,
MPREIT must maintain a minimum amount of eligible collateral, which is
determined on a discounted basis and may consist of mortgage loans, certain U.S.
agency mortgage pass-through certificates, U.S. government securities and cash
held by a trustee (the Trustee). The types, characteristics and permitted
amounts of eligible collateral are subject to change from time to time without
the consent of the bondholders if such changes would not adversely affect the
ratings assigned to the Bonds. In the event such collateral requirements are not
met with respect to any series, MPREIT must provide additional or substitute
mortgage loans or other acceptable collateral with respect to such series to
meet the required amount of eligible collateral and/or repurchase Bonds in an
amount sufficient to meet collateral requirements. If sufficient eligible
collateral is not supplied and/or sufficient Bonds are not repurchased, MPEIT
must redeem a portion of the outstanding Bonds of such series such that the
existing amount of eligible collateral meets the collateral requirements of the
indenture relating to the Bonds of such series that remain outstanding after the
redemption.
On July 18, 1995, MPREIT issued $1.5 billion of Mortgage-Backed Bonds, Series
1995-1, due 1998 (Series 1995-1 Bonds), bearing interest at the one-month LIBOR
plus 21 basis points with a maximum interest rate of 12 percent. On October 31,
1995, MPREIT issued $1.5 billion of Mortgage-Backed Bonds, Series 1995-2, due
2000 (Series 1995-2 Bonds), bearing interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 17
basis points. On December 31, 1996, all of the Series 1995-1 and 1995-2 Bonds
were outstanding with interest rates of 5.878 percent and 5.701 percent,
respectively, based on the rates in effect on December 31, 1996. On December 31,
1996, the Series 1995-1 Bonds were collateralized by mortgage loans with a book
value of approximately $2.2 billion and the Series 1995-2 Bonds were
collateralized by mortgage loans and FNMA certificates with an aggregate book
value of approximately $2.2 billion. On January 5, 1997, the discounted value
of the eligible collateral for the Series 1995-1 and 1995-2 Bonds, as computed
by the Trustee, was approximately $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively,
and exceeded the amount required by the terms of the related indentures by
approximately $151 million and $180 million, respectively.
On December 31, 1996, $629 million was owed on a subordinated note from
NationsBank South (the NationsBank South note). In addition, $444 million was
owed under a subordinated note from NationsBank Texas dated November 30, 1995
(the NationsBank Texas note). The NationsBank South note bears interest at a
floating rate based on 3-month LIBOR plus 14 basis points and matures on
September 25, 1999. The NationsBank Texas note bears interest at 6.50 percent
and matures on September 25, 2000. The notes are subordinated to all of MPREIT's
senior debt, including the Bonds. MPREIT may repay amounts, from time to time,
owed under the notes from funds which are not subject to the lien of any
indenture relating to any senior debt. During 1996, payments in the amount of
$764 million were made and additional borrowings under the notes amounted to
$517 million.
Interest expense on the Series 1995-1 and 1995-2 Bonds for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $176.6 million and $59.0 million, respectively.
Interest expense on the subordinated notes for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $81.5 million and $87.8 million, respectively.
As of February 28, 1997, MPREIT had $1.0 billion of capacity available to issue
additional mortgage-backed bonds under its existing Registration Statement.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred tax assets:

Other ............................... - 138
------------------------------
Net deferred tax asset ................. $ - $6,370
There were no deferred tax assets at December 31, 1996 due to MPREIT's tax
status (see Note 1). Current income tax expense is determined as if MPREIT filed
a separate tax return and the amount so determined is payable to or receivable
from the Corporation. Current federal taxes payable to the Corporation of $23
million and $25 million are included in the balance sheet on December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires the disclosure of the estimated fair
values of financial instruments. The fair value of an instrument is the amount
at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted market
prices, if available, are utilized as estimates of the fair values of financial
instruments. Fair values of items for which no quoted market price is available
have been derived based on management's assumptions with respect to future
economic conditions, the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated
discount rates. The estimation methods for individual classifications of
financial instruments are more fully described below. Different assumptions
could significantly affect these estimates. Accordingly, the net realizable
values could be materially different from the estimates presented below.
In addition, the estimates are only indicative of individual instruments' values
and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of MPREIT.
SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable from affiliates, interest receivable and
amounts due from the Trustee, approximates the fair value. These financial
instruments generally expose MPREIT to limited credit risk and have no stated
maturities or maturities of less than 30 days.
LOANS
Fair values were estimated for the loans based on credit quality and maturity.
The fair value of fixed-rate loans was estimated by discounting estimated future
cash flows using the December 31 origination rate of the Corporation and its
affiliates for similar loans. Contractual cash flows were adjusted for
prepayments using published industry data. For variable-rate loans, the carrying
amount was considered to approximate fair value as loans reprice frequently
based on current market rates. Where credit deterioration has occurred, cash
flows for fixed- and variable-rate loans have been reduced to incorporate
estimated losses. Where quoted market prices were available, such market prices
were utilized as estimates of fair value.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The fair value of the NationsBank Texas note was estimated by using the December
31 market rates on similar debt. The Series 1995-1 and Series 1995-2 Bonds and
the NationsBank South note are variable rate instruments and the fair value
approximates book value.
17
<PAGE>
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The carrying value of securities available for sale approximates the fair value.
Off-balance sheet Instruments
MPREIT uses interest rate caps and floors to manage the interest rate
characteristics of its mortgage-backed bonds. At December 31, 1996, MPREIT had
a gross notional amount of $2.0 billion in outstanding interest rate cap and
floor contracts. The unrealized depreciation on these contracts was $.7 million
as of December 31, 1996. No such contracts were outstanding prior to January 1,
1996.
The book and fair values of financial instruments for which book and fair value
differed on December 31 were (dollars in thousands):
