                   AIM 84 REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NET EARNINGS
                             OF SEVEN CENTS PER UNIT
                           --------------------------

     ROCKVILLE,  MD, August 13, 2003 -- (AMEX/AIA) -- American  Insured Mortgage
Investors  (AIM  84),  a  liquidating  partnership  that  holds  investments  in
government insured  multifamily  mortgages,  reported net earnings for the three
months  ended June 30, 2003 of  approximately  $772,000  (seven  cents per unit)
compared to  approximately  $408,000  (four cents per unit) for the three months
ended June 30,  2002.  Net  earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were
approximately  $2.6  million  (25  cents  per unit)  compared  to  approximately
$804,000 (eight cents per unit) for the same period last year.

     Net earnings  increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as
compared to the  corresponding  periods in 2002  primarily due to an increase in
gains on mortgage  dispositions and interest and other income,  partially offset
by a  decrease  in  mortgage  investment  income.  AIM 84  recognized  gains  of
approximately  $1.5 million from the  assignment of three  mortgages  during the
first quarter of 2003 and recognized a gain of  approximately  $532,000 from the
assignment  of one  mortgage in the second  quarter of 2003.  No gains or losses
were recognized during the first six months of 2002.  Mortgage investment income
decreased  primarily  due to a reduction  in the  Partnership's  mortgage  base.
Interest  and  other  income  increased  primarily  due to  interest  earned  on
debentures received from HUD.

     As of June 30, 2003,  the  Partnership's  investments  included  four fully
insured  mortgages  and three  debentures  with an aggregate  amortized  cost of
approximately $14.9 million, a face value of approximately $15.8 million,  and a
fair value of approximately  $15.8 million.  The four mortgages have been put to
HUD under the  Section  221 program of the  National  Housing  Act, of which one
assignment  was approved by HUD in July 2003.  As of August 1, 2003,  AIM 84 has
not received approval from HUD for the remaining three assignments.  AIM 84 will
continue  to  accrue   interest  on  the  mortgages  until  the  debentures  are
transferred to the mortgagee and AIM 84 begins receiving the debenture interest.

     As the  Partnership  continues to liquidate  its mortgage  investments  and
investors  receive  distributions  of  return  of  capital  and  taxable  gains,
investors  should  expect a reduction in earnings and  distributions  due to the
decreasing  mortgage  base.  Early  prepayment  by  HUD  of  some  or all of the
debentures,  or a sale of some or all of the debentures by the Partnership,  may
effect  an  early  termination  and  dissolution  of AIM 84  before  the  stated
termination  date of December 31, 2008.  Upon the termination and liquidation of
the  Partnership,  distributions  to unitholders will be made in accordance with
the terms of its Partnership Agreement,  as amended, which is not based on GAAP.
As a  result,  it is likely  that the  amounts  that  unitholders  receive  upon
termination  and  liquidation  of AIM 84 will be  substantially  lower  than the
amounts reflected in the Partnership's financial statements.
