ITEM 7.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

This Form 8-K/A amends a Form 8-K Current Report dated December 28, 1995 and
filed January 12, 1996 by Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust (the "Trust")
and provides required financial statements that were not available at the date
of the original filing.

(a)  Pro forma financial information:

Pro forma statements of operations are presented for the year ended December
31, 1994 and the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  A pro forma balance
sheet as of September 30, 1995 is also presented.

A summary of the pro forma transactions follows:

In December 1995, the Trust purchased Brookfield Corporate Center, a 63,504
square foot industrial facility in Chantilly, Virginia for $3.5 million,
exclusive of commissions and closing costs.  The Trust paid $650,000 in cash
and the seller provided mortgage financing in the amount of $2.8 million.  The
mortgage bears interest at a rate of 7.6% per annum, requires monthly payments
of principal and interest of $21,000 and matures in December 1998.

The $3.5 million purchase price of Brookfield Corporate Center is approximately
1.9% of the Trust's consolidated assets at December 31, 1994.  Although not a
significant acquisition in itself, when aggregated with the other acquisitions
completed by the Trust in 1995 as described below, such acquisitions constitute
a significant acquisition.

In addition to the Brookfield Corporate Center acquisition discussed above, the
Trust purchased four apartment complexes and two other commercial properties in
1995.  The properties, located in Virginia, Texas, South Carolina and Florida,
were purchased for a total of $35.4 million in separate transactions from
unaffiliated sellers, and represent approximately 19.3% of the Trust's
consolidated assets at December 31, 1994.  The Trust paid a total of $7.1
million in cash and financed the remainder of the purchase prices.  The
mortgages bear interest at rates ranging from 6.0% to 9.9% and mature from 1997
to 2013.

The pro forma statements of operations present the Trust's operations as if the
transactions described above had occurred at the beginning of each of the
periods presented.

(b)  Financial statements of property acquired:
