PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION

     American Insured Mortgage Investors (the Partnership) was formed under the
Uniform Limited Partnership Act in the state of California on July 12, 1983. The
Partnership Agreement states that the Partnership will terminate on December 31,
2008, unless previously terminated under the provisions of the Partnership
Agreement.

     Effective September 6, 1991, CRIIMI, Inc. (the General Partner) succeeded
the former general partners to become the sole general partner of the
Partnership.  CRIIMI, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRIIMI MAE Inc.
(CRIIMI MAE).

     The Partnership's investment in mortgages consists of participation
certificates evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial interest in government
insured multifamily mortgages issued or sold pursuant to Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) programs (FHA-Insured Certificates) and FHA-insured
mortgage loans (FHA-Insured Loans, and together with FHA-Insured Certificates
referred to herein as Insured Mortgages).  The mortgages underlying the FHA-
Insured Certificates and FHA-Insured Loans are non-recourse first liens on
multifamily residential developments.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted.  While the General Partner believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes to the financial statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     New Accounting Standards
     ------------------------
          In February 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("FAS
     128").  FAS 128 changes the requirements for calculation and disclosure of
     earnings per share.  This statement eliminates the calculation of primary
     earnings per share and requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share
     and diluted earnings per share.  There will be no impact to the earnings
     per Unit of limited partnership interest.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Continued

          During 1997 FASB issued SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about
     Capital Structure" ("FAS 129").  FAS 129 continues the existing
     requirements to disclose the pertinent rights and privileges of all
     securities other than ordinary common stock but expands the number of
     companies subject to portions of its requirements.  The Partnership does
     not anticipate an impact to its current disclosures.

          During 1997 FASB issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
     ("FAS 130").  FAS 130 states that all items that are required to be
     recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income
     are to be reported in either the statement of income or another statement
     of comprehensive income.  This would include net income as currently 
     reported by the Partnership adjusted for unrealized gains and losses 
     related to the Partnership's mortgages accounted for as "available for 
     sale".  FAS 130 is effective beginning January 1, 1998.

3.   INVESTMENT IN FHA-INSURED LOANS

     Listed below is the Partnership's aggregate investment in FHA-Insured Loans
as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996:


                                June 30,     December 31,
                                           1997           1996    
                                      ------------    ------------

  Acquired Insured Mortgages                     4               4
  Originated Insured Mortgages                   2               2
Amortized Cost                        $ 23,181,684    $ 23,262,738
Face Value                              26,210,541      26,338,828
Fair Value                              26,195,338      26,801,846



     All of the FHA-Insured Loans are current with respect to payment of
principal and interest as of August 1, 1997, except for the mortgage on
Portervillage I Apartments, which has been delinquent since January 1997.  In
May 1997, the servicer of this mortgage filed a Notice of Default and an
Election to Assign the mortgage with HUD.  The face value of this mortgage was
approximately $1.2 million at December 31, 1996.  The Partnership expects to
receive 99% of this amount plus accrued interest.

     In addition to base interest payments from originated insured mortgages,
the Partnership is entitled to additional interest based on a percentage of the
net cash flow from the underlying development and of the net proceeds from the
refinancing, sale or other disposition of the underlying development (referred
to as Participations).  During the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the
Partnership received $0 and $61,988, respectively, from the Participations. 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership received $0
and $12,158, respectively, from the Participations.  These amounts are included
in mortgage investment income on the accompanying statements of operations.

Fair Value                        13,763,831        14,105,760



     All of the FHA-Insured Certificates were current with respect to the
payment of principal and interest as of August 1, 1997. 

5.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS

     The distributions paid or accrued to Unitholders on a per Unit basis for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:




Quarter Ended                        1997           1996  
- -------------                      --------       --------
                                            
March 31,                          $   0.07       $   0.08
June 30,                               0.07           0.08
                                   --------       --------
                                   $   0.14       $   0.16
                                   ========       ========


     The basis for paying distributions to Unitholders is net proceeds from
mortgage dispositions, if any, and cash flow from operations, which includes
regular interest income and principal from Insured Mortgages.  Although Insured
Mortgages yield a fixed monthly mortgage payment once purchased, the cash
distributions paid to the Unitholders will vary during each period due to (1)
the fluctuating yields in the short-term money market where the monthly mortgage
payment receipts are temporarily invested prior to the payment of quarterly
distributions, (2) the reduction in the asset base resulting from monthly
mortgage payments received or mortgage dispositions, (3) variations in the cash
flow attributable to the delinquency or default of Insured Mortgages and (4)
changes in the Partnership's operating expenses.

6.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     The General Partner and certain affiliated entities have, during the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, earned or received compensation or
payments for services from the Partnership as follows:

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Introduction
- ------------
     The Partnership's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that may be considered
forward looking.  These statements contain a number of risks and uncertainties
as discussed herein and in the Partnership's reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission that could cause actual results to differ materially.

General
- -------
     As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had invested in 15 Insured Mortgage
Investments, with an aggregate amortized cost of approximately $34.5 million,
face value of approximately $40.0 million and fair value of approximately $40.0
million.

     All of the mortgage investments are current with respect to payment of
principal and interest as of August 1, 1997, except for the mortgage on
Portervillage I Apartments, which has been delinquent since January 1997.  In
May 1997, the servicer of this mortgage filed a Notice of Default and an
Election to Assign the mortgage with HUD.  The face value of this mortgage was
approximately $1.2 million at December 31, 1996.  The Partnership expects to
receive 99% of this amount plus accrued interest.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
     Net earnings increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 1996, primarily due to the loss
recognized on the modification of the mortgage on Creekside Village in May 1996.

     Mortgage investment income decreased slightly for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.  The
decrease is due primarily to a reduction in mortgage investment income as a
result of the normal amortization of the mortgages, partially offset by an
increase in cash flow received from Participations.

     General and administrative expenses decreased for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.  This
decrease was due primarily to decreases in legal and payroll related expenses.

     The Partnership did not dispose of any mortgage investments during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  In May 1996, the mortgage
note on Creekside Village was amended to reduce the mortgage interest rate from
11.50% to 7.75%.  In connection with this modification, the Partnership
recognized a loss of $146,464 on the accompanying statements of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, primarily representing the
unamortized balance of acquisition and closing costs paid in connection with the
origination of this mortgage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
     The Partnership's operating cash receipts, derived from payments of
principal and interest on insured mortgages, plus cash receipts from interest on
short-term investments, were sufficient for the six months ended June 30, 1997
to meet operating requirements.

     The basis for paying distributions to Unitholders is net proceeds from
Insured Mortgage dispositions, if any, and cash flow from operations, which
includes regular interest income and principal from Insured Mortgages.  Although
Insured Mortgages yield a fixed monthly mortgage payment once purchased, the 

12

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


cash distributions paid to the Unitholders will vary during each period due to
(1) the fluctuating yields in the short-term money market where the monthly
mortgage payment receipts are temporarily invested prior to the payment of
quarterly distributions, (2) the reduction in the asset base resulting from
monthly mortgage payments received or mortgage dispositions, (3) variations in
the cash flow attributable to the delinquency or default of Insured Mortgages
and (4) changes in the Partnership's operating expenses.

     Net cash provided by operating activities did not change significantly for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the corresponding period in
1996.

     Net cash provided by investing activities decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily
due to the modification of the mortgage on Creekside Village, as discussed
above.  This decrease was offset by an increase in the receipt of mortgage
principal from scheduled payments. 

     Net cash used in financing activities decreased for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the corresponding period in 1996, primarily due to
the decrease in the 1997 first and second quarters' distributions.
