Item 1. Business

Overview

       Investment Income Properties of America, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 1995. Initial capitalization
occurred on January 13, 1995. The business of the Company is to invest primarily
in existing residential properties in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties,
Florida. The Company did not own any properties within that region as of
December 31, 1996. The complete investment objectives and policies of the
Company are described under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies" on
pages 31 through 37 of the Company's Prospectus dated February 15, 1996 (the
"Prospectus") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 33-95758), which
are hereby incorporated by reference.

       In connection with each of its property acquisitions, the Company will
obtain a Phase I Environment Report, and such additional environmental reports
and surveys as are necessitated by such preliminary reports. Based on such
reports, the Company is not aware of any environmental situations requiring
remediation at its properties which have not been or not currently being
remediated as necessary.

       As of the end of 1996, the Company did not own any properties. However,
the following is a summary of three properties the Company has considered to be
purchased during 1996.

       The Company entered into an agreement on April 18, 1995 to purchase the
Northwood Terrace Apartments in Oakland Park, Florida. The original purchase
price was $3,350,000 and was subsequently amended to $3,450,000 with a closing
of May 15, 1996. The Company has paid $75,000 in deposits under the agreement.
Subsequent to May 15, 1996, the contract was terminated because the Company was
not able to raise the necessary funds to purchase the Northwood Apartments. The
$75,000 deposit was retained by the seller and expensed by the Company.
Information with respect to Northwood Terrace Apartments is hereby incorporated
by reference from page 53 through 54 of the Company's Prospectus.

       The Company entered into an agreement on October 2, 1996 to purchase the
Kendale Gardens Apartments in Miami, Florida. The purchase price was $7,135,000
with a closing date of November 15, 1996. A deposit of $10,000 was required at
the time the agreement was signed. On December 17, 1996, the agreement to
purchase Kendale Garden Apartments dated October 2, 1996, was amended. The
amended agreement reduces the purchase price to $6,925,000 if purchased by
February 28, 1997. A deposit of $15,000 was required upon the execution of the
amended agreement. On February 28, 1997, the agreement to purchase Kendale
Gardens Apartments dated December 17, 1996, was amended. The amended agreement
increases the purchase price to $6,975,000, if purchased by April 30, 1997. A
deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of the amended agreement. On
June 5, 1997, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to July 31,
1997. A deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of this amendment.
The apartment building purchase will be financed by a private placement or a
public offering of the Company's stock.

       The Company entered into an agreement on December 20, 1996 to purchase
the Spring House Apartments in Tamarac, Florida. The purchase price was
$16,490,000 with a closing date of February 28, 1997. A deposit of $25,000 was
required and paid in January 1997. The apartment building purchase will be
financed by a private placement or a public offering of the Company's stock. On
January 21, 1997, the agreement to purchase Spring House Apartments dated
December 20, 1996, was amended. The agreement extends the closing date to March
28, 1997. A deposit of $100,000 was required upon the execution of the amended
agreement. On March 25, 1997, the agreement to purchase Spring House Apartments
dated January 21, 1997 was amended. The agreement extends the closing date to
May 5, 1997. A deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of the amended
agreement.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

       Item intentionally left blank.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

       The Company invests primarily in multiple dwelling residential units in
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. The Company intends to quality
as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes. The Company was
capitalized on January 13, 1995 and May 1995, respectively in the approximate
amount of $475,000. Changes in the Company's liquidity and capital resources
reflect the inability of management and their underwriters in the lack of sales
of shares to investors which effect the ability of the Company for periodic
acquisitions of properties by the Company. Similarly, the lack of results from
operations reflect decreases in income, and the capital base of the Company.

       Liquidity and Capital Resources

       There was a significant change in the Company's liquidity during the year
ended December 31, 1996. During 1996, the company was only able to sell 21,400
shares of its units to its investors bringing the total number of shares
outstanding to 97,400. The total gross proceeds from the shares sold in 1996 was
$202,500. With this additional capital, the Company's gross capitalization still
decreased from $415,662 at December 31, 1995 to $73,222 at December 31, 1996.
Shares were sold through the Company's management to enhance the financial
structure of the firm.

       The Company entered into an agreement on April 18, 1995 to purchase the
Northwood Terrace Apartments in Oakland Park, Florida. The original purchase
price was $3,350,000 and was subsequently amended to $3,450,000 with a closing
of May 15, 1996. The Company has paid $75,000 in deposits under the agreement.
Subsequent to May 15, 1996, the contract was terminated because the Company was
not able to raise the necessary funds to purchase the Northwood Apartments. The
$75,000 deposit was retained by the seller and expensed by the Company.

       The Company entered into an agreement on October 2, 1996 to purchase the
Kendale Gardens Apartments in Miami, Florida. The purchase price was $7,135,000
with a closing date of November 15, 1996. A deposit of $10,000 was required at
the time the agreement was signed. On December 17, 1996, the agreement to
purchase Kendale Garden Apartments dated October 2, 1996, was amended. The
amended agreement reduces the purchase price to $6,925,000 if purchased by
February 28, 1997. A deposit of $15,000 was required upon the execution of the
amended agreement. On February 28, 1997, the agreement to purchase Kendale
Gardens Apartments dated December 17, 1996, was amended. The amended agreement
increases the purchase price to $6,975,000, if purchased by April 30, 1997. A
deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of the amended agreement. On
June 5, 1997, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to July 31,
1997. A deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of this amendment.
The apartment building purchase will be financed by a private placement or a
public offering of the Company's stock.


                                        3

       The Company entered into an agreement on December 20, 1996 to purchase
the Spring House Apartments in Tamarac, Florida. The purchase price was
$16,490,000 with a closing date of February 28, 1997. A deposit of $25,000 was
required and paid in January 1997. The apartment building purchase will be
financed by a private placement or a public offering of the Company's stock. On
January 21, 1997, the agreement to purchase Spring House Apartments dated
December 20, 1996, was amended. The agreement extends the closing date to March
28, 1997. A deposit of $100,000 was required upon the execution of the amended
agreement. On March 25, 1997, the agreement to purchase Spring House Apartments
dated January 21, 1997 was amended. The agreement extends the closing date to
May 5, 1997. A deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of the amended
agreement. As of June 5, 1997, the Company has not closed on the property and
has $175,000 in nonrefundable deposits toward the purchase.

       The Company is working on additional funding by a private placement or a
public offering of the Company's Stock.

       The Company intends to hold all of its properties on a totally
unleveraged basis. However, the Company will borrow in conjunction with the
purchase of properties. The full balance of the debt incurred will be repaid
through the sale of additional shares.

       Cash and cash equivalents totalled $29,660 on December 31, 1996 versus
$80,541 on December 31, 1995. During the year, the Company did not distribute
any return of capital or dividends to shareholders.

       While the Company is always assessing potential acquisitions, no material
negotiations, commitments or agreements to purchase additional properties
existed at year end. The Company expects to acquire new properties as additional
funds are valuable.

       The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown
in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon commencement of successful
operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability
to finance its future operations. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets
and liability amounts which might result from the above uncertainties.

       The Company has and will continue to take a number of steps to reduce its
operating losses. The Company will continue to increase its efforts in marketing
their initial public offering the Company's shares to raise funds. Management
believes that as a result of the action stated above, the Company can continue
in existence for the next twelve months; however, there is no assurance that
such action will be consummated or will eliminate the Company's need for
additional capital.

       Results of Operations

       The results of the Company's operations for the year December 31, 1996
does not include any acquisitions of properties where the Company relies on
rental income generated by the properties for its cash for the payment of these
operating expenses. As the operations of the Company were capitalized on January
13, 1995 and May 1995, respectively, an overall comparison of years ended
December 31, 1995 and December 31 1996 would not be meaningful. The decrease in
income and the increase in expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 over
1995 primarily reflects the costs expected from a public offering of equity
securities. During 1996, the Company concluded that the expected public offering
would not be completed and therefore wrote-off these costs.

       Total expenses increased to $567,299 in 1996 from $197,185 in 1995.

       General and administrative expenses totalled 93% of total expenses in
1996 and 82% in 1995. These expenses represent the administrative expenses as
well as the operation of the Company's effort for the public offering of equity
securities. This percentage is expected to further decrease as the Company's
operations grow.


                                        4
<PAGE>

       The Company's other source of income is the investment of its cash and
reserves. The Company had a decrease to $1,120 in 1996 from $2,668 in 1995. The
Company believes with its efforts in marketing their initial public offering of
the Company's shares to raise funds, there will be an increase of interest
income to the Company.

       Impact of Inflation.

       The Company does not believe that inflation had any significant impact on
the operation of the Company in 1996. Future inflation, if any, would likely
cause increased operating expenses, but the Company believes that increases in
expenses would be more than affect by increases in rental income. Continued
inflation may also cause capital appreciation of the Company's properties over
time, as rental rates and replacement costs increase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
Investment Income Properties of America, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Investment Income Properties
of America, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from January 4,
1995 (inception) through 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.
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 statement 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
all material respects, the financial position of Investment Income Properties of
America, Inc. at December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the period from January 4, 1995 (inception) through
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the Company incurred a net loss of $567,691 for the years ended December 31,
1996, and as of that date, the Company's liabilities exceeded its assets by
$743,410. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
described in Note H. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                           December 31, 1995 and 1996

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Organization

       Investment Income Properties of America, Inc. (the "Company") was
       incorporated on January 4, 1995. The Company was formed for the purpose
       of becoming a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) which will invest
       primarily in rental apartment buildings.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents

       For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
       highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
       or less to be cash equivalents.

       Deferred Offering Costs

       At December 31, 1995, the Company has incurred costs in the amount of
       $233,898 in connection with an expected public offering of equity
       securities as described in Note D. During 1996, the Company concluded
       that the expected public offering would not be completed and therefore
       wrote-off these costs.

       Deferred Loan Costs

       Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes payable have
       been capitalized and will be amortized using the interest method over the
       life of the loan (see Note C).

       Fixed Assets

       Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The
       Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the
       assets estimated useful lives.

                           December 31, 1995 and 1996

       Income Taxes

       The Company expects to operate as and will elect to be taxed as a real
       estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
       amended (the "Code"). Generally, a real estate investment trust which
       complies with the provisions of the Code and distributes at least 95% of
       its taxable income to its stockholders does not pay Federal income taxes
       on its distributed income. If the Company complies with the provisions of
       the Code, it will also be exempt from income taxes in the State of
       Florida. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to provide for Federal
       or Florida income taxes on its distributed income.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

       Use of Estimates

       In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
       accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
       the 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.

       Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

       The Company evaluates long-lived assets and certain intangibles held and
       used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
       that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized
       when the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities cannot be
       recovered by the discounted net cash flow they will generate.

       Stock Options

       Options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plans are accounted for
       under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
       interpretations. The additional

       disclosures required by SFAS 123 are contained in Note G. Stock options
       to nonemployees are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123.

NOTE B - COMMITMENTS

       The Company is obligated to pay $12,000 in monthly installments of $1,000
       and 4,000 shares of common stock upon the completion of the public
       offering of its shares (see Note D) to a company as compensation for
       locating a placement agent. No value has been ascribed to the shares.

       The Company entered into an agreement on April 18, 1995 to purchase the
       Northwood Terrace Apartments in Oakland Park, Florida. The original
       purchase price was $3,350,000 and was subsequently amended to $3,400,000
       with a closing of May 15, 1996. The Company had paid $75,000 in deposits
       under the agreement. Subsequent to May 15, 1996, the contract was
       terminated because the Company was not able to raise the necessary fund
       to purchase the Northwood Apartments. The $75,000 deposit was retained by
       the seller and expensed by the Company.

       Earnings per share

       Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common
       and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. The total of
       such weighted average shares was 73,333 and 84,017 for the years ended
       December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE B - COMMITMENTS - Continued

       The Company entered into an agreement on October 2, 1996 to purchase the
       Kendale Gardens Apartments in Miami, Florida. The purchase price was
       $7,135,000 with a closing date of November 15, 1996. A deposit of $10,000
       was required at the time the agreement was signed. On December 17, 1996,
       the agreement to purchase Kendale Gardens Apartments dated October 2,
       1996 was amended. The amended agreement reduces the purchase price to
       $6,925,000 if purchased by February 28, 1997. A deposit of $15,000 was
       required upon the execution of the amended agreement. As of December 31,
       1996, the Company has $25,000 in deposits towards the purchase. On
       February 28, 1997, the agreement to purchase Kendale Gardens Apartments
       dated December 17, 1996 was amended. The amended agreement increases the
       purchase price to $6,975,000 if purchased by April 30, 1997. A deposit of
       $25,000 was required upon the execution of the amended agreement. On June
       5, 1997, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to July 31,
       1997. A deposit of $25,000

       was required upon the execution of this amendment. The apartment building
       purchase will be financed by a private placement or a public offering of
       the Company's stock.

       The Company entered into an agreement on December 20, 1996 to purchase
       the Spring House Apartments in Tamarac, Florida. The purchase price was
       $16,490,000 with a closing date of February 28, 1997. A deposit of
       $25,000 was required and paid in January 1997. The apartment building
       purchase will be financed by a private placement or a public offering of
       the Company's stock. On January 21, 1997, the agreement to purchase
       Spring House Apartments dated December 20, 1996 was amended. The
       agreement extends the closing date to March 28, 1997. A deposit of
       $100,000 was required upon the execution of the amended agreement. On
       March 25, 1997, the agreement to purchase Spring House Apartments dated
       January 21, 1997 was amended. The agreement extends the closing date to
       May 5, 1997. A deposit of $25,000 was required upon the execution of the
       amended agreement. As of June 5, 1997, the Company has not closed on the
       property and has $175,000 in nonrefundable deposits towards the purchase.

NOTE C - NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

       In 1995 and 1996, the Company raised $677,500 through the issuance of
       notes payable to investors. These notes bear interest at the rate of 8%
       per annum, with principal and accrued interest, if any, payable upon the
       earlier of December 31, 1997 or upon the receipt by the Company of gross
       proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $4,500,000 from the
       public offering of the Company's securities.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE C - NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES - Continued

       In connection with the issuance of these notes, these investors as of
       December 31, 1996 were given 96,000 common stock and warrants to purchase
       an additional 103,000 of common stock for $2.00 per share. The warrants
       are exercisable at any time in the next three years. No value has been

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       The Board has authorized the filing of a registration statement relating
       to an initial public offering of common stock. The net proceeds from the
       issuance and sale of the common stock will be used to purchase rental
       property.

NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The Company has entered into a management agreement with Building
       Management Services, Inc. ("BMSI") whereby BMSI will manage all
       properties acquired by the Company for an annual fee ranging from 3% to
       10% of annual gross collected revenues generated by the properties
       depending upon the nature of the property. At December 31, 1996, BMSI is
       100% owned by two of the officers of the Company.

       The Company has entered into an advisory agreement with F & P Realty
       Advisors, Inc. ("F & P") whereby F & P will seek to obtain, investigate,
       evaluate and recommend property investment opportunities for the Company
       as well as administer the day-to-day operations of the Company. F & P
       will receive a quarterly Asset Management Fee equal to .25% of the
       original assets, defined as the gross proceeds which have been received
       from time to time from the sale or sales of the shares, and will also be
       reimbursed for certain direct expenses and allocable overhead incurred in
       connection with its provision of services to the Company. F & P is 100%
       owned by two of the stockholders/officers of the Company.

       The Company has entered into a property acquisition/disposition agreement
       under which J & W Realty of South Florida, Inc. ("J & W") will act as an
       exclusive real estate broker in connection with the Company's purchase
       and sales of property. J & W will be entitled to a fee from the Company
       in an amount which is in accordance with the then current industry
       standard; provided, however, that if J & W's fee on any such purchase and
       sale is less than 2% of the purchase or sale price of a property being
       purchased or sold by the Company, the Company will pay to J & W such
       amount as is necessary for J & W's commission on such purchase or sale to
       be 2% of the sale or purchase price of the property being sold or
       purchased.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - Continued

       A principal in a law firm which provides services to the Company is also
       a director and stockholder of the Company. The total fees charged in 1995
       by this firm to the Company were $8,732. In 1996, he resigned as a
       director, but is still a stockholder and provides legal advise on real
       estate. He owns less than 5% of the issued and outstanding stock of the
       Company.

       A director, who is also a stockholder of the Company, provides
       acquisition services to the Company. The total fees charged were $0 and
       $5,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE F - INCOME TAXES

       As discussed in Note A, the Company expects to be exempt from Federal and
       Florida income taxes for any future distributed profits provided that it
       meets the required tests.

       The net loss of $(198,119) for the period ended December 31, 1995, and
       the net loss of $(567,691) for the year ended December 31, 1996, contain
       certain organizational and start-up costs that must be capitalized and
       amortized for tax purposes. No deferred taxes have been recorded for
       these temporary differences or the net operating loss carryforward, due
       to the Company's expected tax status as a REIT. Income tax expense is a
       result of applying the applicable Federal rate to interest income earned
       in the respective periods.

NOTE G - STOCK OPTIONS

       The Company has granted stock options which are classified as
       non-qualified, and which are not part of an Employee' Incentive Stock
       Option Plan. The Company accounted for such options under APB Opinion 25
       and related Interpretations. Commencing January 1, 1996, the Company
       accounts for non-qualified options issued to non-employees, under SFAS
       123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.

       The exercise price of all options granted by the Company equals the
       market price at the date of grant. Compensation expense of $8,400 has
       been recognized in 1996.

NOTE G - STOCK OPTIONS - Continued

       Had compensation cost for non-qualified options issued to employees been
       determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates
       consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and loss
       per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated
       below.

       The above pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects
       on reported net income for future years as the Company may continue to
       grant options to employees.

       The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
       using the binomial option-pricing model with the following
       weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1995: dividend yield of
       0.0 percent for all years; expected volatility of 18.91 percent in 1995;
       risk-free interest rates of 5.20 percent in 1995; and expected holding
       periods of 3 years in both periods. There were no options granted in
       1996.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE H - GOING-CONCERN

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
       with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
       continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company
       sustained a substantial loss from operations in 1995 which has resulted
       in a deterioration in the Company's financial position.

                                                                     (continued)

NOTE H - GOING-CONCERN - Continued

       The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown
       in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon commencement of
       successful operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the
       Company's ability to finance its future operations. The financial
       statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
       and classification of recorded assets and liability amounts which might
       result from the above uncertainties.

       The Company has and will continue to take a number of steps to reduce its
       operating losses. The Company will continue to increase its efforts in
       marketing their initial public offering of the Company's shares to raise
       funds. Management believes that a result of the action stated above, the
       Company can continue in existence for the next twelve months; however,
       there is no assurance that such action will be consummated or will
       eliminate the Company's need for additional capital.

NOTE I - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased an office building in Pompano
       Beach, Florida for $2,600,000. The purchase was financed through a
       purchase money mortgage of $2,080,000 and funds provided through loans by
       individuals who also own shares in the Company. The mortgage bears
       interest at 1% below the prime rate, is payable monthly, and is
       collateralized by the property. During any time the mortgage is
       outstanding, the seller has the option to convert the mortgage and note
       to common stock of the Company. In addition, under the purchase
       agreement, the seller has the option to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the
       common
