(consisting  primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary  to present 
fairly the Trust's financial position as of March 31, 1998 and the results 
of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
and 1997.The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Managements Discussion and Analysis  of Financial Condition  and Results  of
Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning
Managements expectations regarding the future financial performance and
future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and
uncertainties, including those described herein. Actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1998 the Trust has significant liquidity consisting of cash and
cash equivalents, of approximately $14.7 million as well as the cash inflows
provided by PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents.  The Trust may also
receive additional cash flow  from the participation features of its PIMs and
PIMIs. The Trust anticipates that these  sources will be adequate to provide
the Trust with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations,  including
providing dividends to its investors.

The most significant demand on the Trust's liquidity is quarterly dividends
paid to investors of approximately $5.7  million.  Funds  for dividends come
from interest income received on PIMs,  PIMIs,  MBS  and  cash  and  cash
equivalents net of operating expenses, and the principal collections received
on PIMs, PIMIs and MBS. The portion of dividends funded  from principal
collections reduces the capital resources of the Trust.  As  the capital
resources of the Trust decrease, the total cash flows to the  Trust will also
decrease which may result in periodic adjustments to the dividends paid to the
investors.

The Advisor of the Trust periodically reviews the dividend rate to determine
whether an adjustment to the dividend rate is necessary based on projected
future cash flows. Based on  current projections, the  Advisor believes the
Trust can maintain the  current dividend rate for  the foreseeable future.In
general, the Advisor tries to set a dividend rate that provides for level
quarterly distributions. To the extent quarterly dividends do  not fully
utilize the cash available for distribution and cash  balances increase, the
Advisor may reinvest the available proceeds, adjust the dividend  rate or
distribute such funds through a special distribution.

The borrower on the St. Germain PIMI is pursuing a refinance of the property
while financing options are favorable. The borrower has requested a waiver of
the prohibition preventing a repayment of the loan prior to the end of the
fifth loan year, which occurs in December 1998.  This request is currently
under review by the Advisor.  If the Advisor approves the request, the Trust
will receive its preferred return as well as its share in the increase in the
value of the property, which will be determined with an appraisal. 

Most of the other properties in the Trust=s portfolio generate sufficient
operating revenues to adequately maintain the property, service the debt and
pay participating interest to the Trust.  However, the operating performance

                                           -10-


of Windmill Lakes in South Florida has continued to be adversely affected by
the highly competitive housing market in Pembroke Pines, and the borrower is
currently delinquent in his obligation on the Additional Loan.  The borrower
has been trying to sell the property but has been unable to secure a purchase
offer that will cover the property=s outstanding liabilities.  The Advisor is
currently assessing the feasibility of extending debt service relief to the
borrower until the market stabilizes.

In addition to  funding its quarterly dividends paid to  investors the Trust
has a remaining  commitment of  approximately $1.0  million on  a PIM  in the
construction phase. The Trust has  sufficient cash  reserves to  fund this
commitment. 

For the first five  years of the PIMs and PIMIs the borrowers are prohibited
from prepaying. For the second five years, the borrowers can prepay the loans
incurring a prepayment penalty for PIMs or paying all amounts  due under the
PIMIs and satisfying the required preferred  return. The Trust has the option
of calling certain PIMs and all the PIMIs by accelerating  their maturity if
the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year after permanent funding.  The
Trust will determine the merits of exercising the call option for each PIM or
PIMI as economic conditions warrant. Such factors as the  condition of the
asset, local market conditions, interest rates and available financing will
have an impact on this decision.

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Trust's investments in mortgages are  guaranteed  or insured  by  the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC) and the United  States Department of  Housing and Urban
Development(HUD) and therefore the certainty of  their cash flows  and the
risk of material loss of the amounts invested depends on the creditworthiness
of these entities.

FNMA is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees
obligations originated under its programs. FNMA is one of the largest
corporations in the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States has discretionary authority to lend up to $2.25 billion to FNMA
at any time.  However, obligations  of  FNMA  are not  backed  by the  U.S.
Government. FHLMC is a federally chartered corporation that  guarantees
obligations originated under its programs and is wholly-owned by the twelve
Federal Home Loan Banks. These obligations are not guaranteed by  the U.S.
Government or the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. HUD, an agency of the  U.S.
Government, insures the obligations originated under its programs, which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The Trust's Additional Loans have similar risks as those associated  with
higher risk debt instruments,including: reliance on the  owner's operating
skills and ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating expenses,
maintain properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage; adverse changes in
general economic conditions, adverse local conditions, and  changes  in
governmental  regulations, real  estate zoning  laws, or  tax laws;  and other
circumstances over which the Trust may have little or no control.



                                           -11-


The Trust includes in cash and cash equivalents  approximately $13 million of
commercial paper, which is issued by entities with a credit rating equal to
one of the top two rating categories of a nationally recognized  statistical
rating organization.

Operations

The following discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during the
three ended months March 31, 1998 and 1997. 

The Trust s net income increased slightly during the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997 due to increases in participation
interest and other interest income of approximately $203,000 and $68,000,
respectively and a decline in expenses of approximately $91,000.  This was
offset by a decrease additional loan interest of approximately $99,000.  The
increase in participation income is due to the Trust recognizing the
settlement related to The Estates of $232,000 that was received in 1998 and
three of the PIMIs paying higher participation interest for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.  This was offset
by lower participation interest from four other PIMIs for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.  The decrease in
Additional Loan interest is due to the prepayment of the Willows Additional
Loan during the third quarter of 1997 and no Additional Loan payment from the
borrower of the Windmill Lakes PIMI. Other interest income also increased due
to the Trust having higher short-term investment balances during the first
quarter of 1988 when compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease in
expenses is primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses for
transfer agent costs of approximately $30,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. 

The decrease in base interest on PIMs and the increase in interest on MBS are
primarily due to two transactions in 1997 involving the Willows Apartment PIMI
and the Estates Apartment PIM. In each of these transactions the properties
were sold and the Participating and Additional Loans were paid off.  However,
the buyer assumed the existing first mortgage and the Trust will continue to
receive principal and interest on the portion of the financing but has now
classified it as an MBS.
             
As principal collections reduce the Trust s investments in MBS, PIMs and
PIMIs, interest income on MBS and base interest income on PIMs and PIMIs will
decline.  The Trust funds a portion of dividends with principal collections,
which will continue to reduce the assets of the Trust thereby reducing the
income generated by the Trust in the future.
