    NOTES:
    
    (a)  The classification "residential" includes single dwellings only.  Residential multiple dwellings are included
            in "apartment and business".
    
    (b)  Real estate taxes and easements, which in the opinion of the Company are not undue burden on the properties,
            have been excluded from the determination of "prior liens".
    
    (c)  In this schedule III, carrying amount of mortgage loans represents unpaid principal balances plus unamortized
           premiums less unamortized discounts and allowance for loss.
    
    (d)  Interest in arrears for less than three months has been disregarded in computing the total amount of principal
           subject to delinquent interest.  The amounts of mortgage loans being forclosed are also included in amounts
           subject to delinquent interest.
    
    (e)  Information as to interest due and accrued at the end of the period is shown by type of mortgage loan.
           Information as to interest due and accrued for the various classes within the types of mortgage loans is not
           readily available and the obtaining thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense.
    
         The Company does not accrue interest on loans which are over three months delinquent.
    
    (f)  Information as to interest income by type and class of loan has been omitted because it is not readily available
          and the obtaining thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense.  In lieu thereof, the average gross
          interest rates (exclusive of amortization of discounts and premiums) on mortgage loans held at
          December 31, 1996 are shown by type and class of loan.
    
         The average gross interest rates on mortgage loans held at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are
         summarized as follows:
    
                                                        1996      1995      1994
