Fund II's investment in BAI reflects Fund II's proportionate interest in the net
assets of BAI (22.31% at April 30, 1995). The performance of Fund II is directly
affected by the performance of BAI. The financial statements of BAI are included
in this  report  and  should be read in  conjunction  with  Fund II's  financial
statements.

     The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies followed by
Fund II.

Securities  Valuation:  Fund  II's  interest  in BAI is valued by Fund II at its
proportionate interest in the Net Asset Value of BAI. Valuation of securities by
BAI is  discussed  in Note 1 of BAI's Notes to  Financial  Statements  which are
included elsewhere in this report.

Securities  Transactions  and Investment  Income:  Securities  transactions  are
recorded  on the trade  date.  Realized  and  unrealized  gains and  losses  are
calculated  on the  identified  cost basis.  Interest  income is recorded on the
accrual basis and Fund II accretes  premium or amortizes  discount on securities
purchased using the interest method.

Taxes:  It is Fund II's  intention to continue to meet the  requirements  of the
Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment  companies  and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

Dividends and Distributions: Fund II declares and distributes dividends at least
annually first from net investment income, then from realized short-term capital
gains and other sources.  Fund II also expects to pay  distributions in the form
of return of paid-in capital.  Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of
loss   carryforwards   are   distributed  at  least   annually.   Dividends  and
distributions  are recorded on the ex-dividend  date.  Income  distributions and
capital  gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  income  tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment  Advisory,  Administration and Other Expenses:  Investment  advisory,
administration and other expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Deferred  Organization  Expenses: A total expenditure of $75,825 was incurred in
connection with the  organization of Fund II. These costs have been deferred and
are being  amortized  ratably  over a period of 60 months  from the date Fund II
commenced investment operations.

Note 2.       Agreements

     Fund II has a Master  Administration  Agreement  with  BlackRock  Financial
Management,  Inc. (the  "Advisor")  which  provides  that during the  Commitment
Period  the Trust will pay to the  Advisor  for its  services  (which are solely
administrative  in nature) a semi-annual fee, in arrears,  in an amount equal to
 .25% of the aggregate Capital Commitments, on an annualized basis. Subsequent to
the Commitment Period, the semi-annual fee payable in arrears to the

Advisor is .25% of the weighted  average  capital  invested  during the relevant
period on an annualized basis.

     Fund II has also entered into an Administration Agreement with State Street
Bank  and  Trust  Company   ("State   Street").   For  its  services  under  the
Administration Agreement, State Street receives no fees from Fund II.

     Pursuant to the agreements,  the Advisor  provides  various  administrative
services,  provides  office space and pays the  compensation of officers of Fund
II, who are affiliated  persons of the Advisor.  State Street pays occupancy and
certain  clerical and accounting  costs of Fund II. Fund II bear all other costs
and expenses.

      Certain trustees of Fund II who are not interested  parties are paid a fee
for their services in the amount of $40,000 each on an annual basis.

Note 3.       Portfolio Securities

     Purchases  of  investment  securities  for the period  ended April 30, 1995
aggregated  $4,183,801.  The federal income tax basis of the investments of Fund
II at April 30,  1995 was  substantially  the same as the  basis  for  financial
reporting and,  accordingly,  net and gross unrealized  depreciation for federal
income tax purposes was $369,708.

Note 4.       Notes

     Fund II has issued and sold  $21,000  aggregate  principal  amount of notes
(the "Notes") paying interest at a per annum rate of 2.50% over the yield of the
one-year constant maturity Treasury,  redeemable  annually by the holder and due
on dissolution of the issuer.

Note 5.       Capital

     Fund II has  obtained  Capital  Commitments  from  institutions  and  other
accredited  investors in the form of  subscription  agreements  to engage in the
real estate debt investment  activities  described herein. When notified by Fund
II, in  accordance  with the  Declaration  of Trust,  the  investors  shall make
capital  contributions  as  are  required  to  fill  their  outstanding  Capital
Commitments. Fund II must give fourteen days advance notice before contributions
are due. As of April 30, 1995, the total  outstanding  Capital  Commitments from
investors  was  $108,787,577.  On March 15, 1995,  Fund II made a capital  call,
