PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
American Mortgage Investors Trust (the "Company") is a business trust which was
formed under the laws of the State of Massachusetts on June 11, 1991. The
Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Advisor to the Company
is Related AMI Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Advisor"). The
Advisor manages the day to day affairs of the Company under the control of the
Company's trustees and pursuant to an Advisory Services Agreement, dated as of
March 29, 1993 and as amended as of October 26, 1993, December 31, 1993 and
March 29, 1994, between the Company and the Advisor (the "Advisory Services
Agreement"). See Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.
The Company's principal investment objectives are to: (i) preserve and protect
the Company's capital; (ii) provide quarterly cash distributions; and (iii)
provide additional distributions from additional interest arising from
participations in the annual cash flow of the Developments (defined below)
and/or the sale or refinancing of a Development. There can be no assurance that
such objectives can be achieved.
The Company has invested principally in two types of Mortgage Investments
("Mortgage Investments"): (i) new mortgage loans originated by or on behalf of
the Company or by other lenders and sold to the Company prior to the loans being
fully funded and (ii) Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities and pass-through
certificates ("Originated Mortgages"); and existing mortgage loans that it
acquires ("Acquired Mortgages") on multifamily residential rental properties
("Developments"). No more than 7% of the Net Proceeds may be invested in
non-interest bearing uninsured loans made directly to developers or sponsors of
Developments (or the general partners or other principals of the owner of the
Developments) with respect to which the Company holds a mortgage ("Additional
Loans"). As of December 31, 1997, of the total Net Proceeds available for
investment, 84.9% had been invested in Originated Mortgages (including 6.32% in
Additional Loans) and 15.1% in Acquired Mortgages.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company has made the following Mortgage
Investments:

(1) On October 15, 1993 the Company allocated $5,000,000 of the principal face
value as an Acquired Mortgage based on the expectation that a majority of the
investment would be held for at least two years. Based on such allocation,
compensation was paid to the Advisor. The Advisor has undertaken to reimburse
the Company for any compensation paid to it which is attributable to the portion
of any REMIC Certificate which is sold to support the Company's distribution
policy (the "Advisor's Reimbursement Undertaking"). On both November 4, 1993 and
February 1, 1994, the Company sold $200,000 of the REMIC Certificate and the
Advisor has reimbursed the Company for the fees previously paid and the trading
loss incurred with respect to the portions of the
-4-
REMIC Certificate which were sold. Also on March 30, 1995, the Company sold
$4,500,000 of the temporary portion at the discounted price of 90.9375% or
$4,092,188. The realized loss on this sale was $447,472. Also on August 15,
1996, the Company sold the remaining balance of the temporary and permanent
portions of the REMIC Certificate which totaled $5,100,000. The realized loss on
this sale was $328,895.
(2) Represented an FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificate. On May 4, 1994, the
Company allocated $2,419,300 of the principal face value as a permanent Acquired
Mortgage based on the expectation that a majority of the investment would be
held for at least two years. Based upon such allocation, compensation was paid
to the Advisor. On May 5, 1994, the Company sold $1,000,000 of the permanent
portion of the Mortgage Participation Certificate and on October 11, 1994, the
Company sold the remaining balance of the temporary and permanent portions of
the Mortgage Participation Certificate which totaled $3,838,600. Pursuant to the
Advisor's Reimbursement Undertaking, the Advisor has reimbursed the Company for
the fees previously paid and the trading loss incurred with respect to the
permanent investment portion of the certificate which was sold. A loss of
$297,836 was recorded on these sales in 1994.
(3) Purchased as a permanent investment using a portion of the proceeds from the
sale of FHLMC REMIC Certificate #G-024C. See (2) above.
(4) The stated final payment date was May 15, 2004. The actual final payment
amounting to $7,099 was received on April 15, 1997.
(5) Purchased as a permanent investment using the proceeds from the final
payment received from the FHA Insured Project Loan (see FHA Insured Project Loan
below and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Fannie Mae REMIC
Certificate #1992-17G (see (1) above).
(6) The stated final payment date was September 15, 1998. The actual final
payment amounting to $17,952 was received on November 15, 1997.
FHA Insured Project Loan
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of its Offering to purchase a FHA
Insured Project Loan in the amount of $3,374,679 from an unaffiliated third
party. The full amount of the purchase price was allocated as a permanent
Acquired Mortgage. The stated final payment date was to be April 1, 2019. The
actual final payment amounting to $3,392,445 was received on May 23, 1997.
Competition
As described above, the Company's business is affected by competition to the
extent that the underlying properties from which it is to derive interest and
principal payments may be subject to competition from neighboring properties.
Employees
The Company does not directly employ anyone. All services are performed for the
Company by the Advisor and its affiliates. The Advisor receives compensation in
connection with such activities as set forth in Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, Item 11, Executive Compensation and Item 13, Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions. In addition, the Company reimburses the
Advisor and certain of its affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with
the performance by their employees of services for the Company in accordance
with the Declaration of Trust.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company does not own or lease any property.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Shareholders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year covered by this report through the solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Shareholder
Matters.
The Offering terminated as of November 30, 1994. As of December 31, 1997, a
total of 3,809,601 shares have been sold to the public, either through the
Offering or the Company's dividend reinvestment plan (the "Reinvestment Plan"),
representing Gross Proceeds of $76,192,021 (before volume discounts of $40,575).
Pursuant to the Redemption Plan, which became effective November 30, 1994, the
Company is required to redeem eligible shares presented for redemption for cash
to the extent it has sufficient net proceeds from the sale of shares under the
Reinvestment Plan. Since November 30, 1994, 229,501 shares have been sold
through the Reinvestment Plan, the proceeds of which are restricted for use in
connection with the Redemption Plan and are not included in gross proceeds.
Pursuant to the Redemption Plan as of December 31, 1997, 248,167 shares have
been redeemed for an aggregate price of $4,604,870.
The number of shareholders as of December 31, 1997 was 3,478. Although the
shares are freely transferable, shareholders may not be able to liquidate their
investment because the shares are not intended to be included for listing or
quotation on any established
-5-
market and no public trading market is expected to develop for the shares,
although there may be an informal market. Shares may, therefore, not be readily
accepted as collateral for a loan. Furthermore, even if an informal market for
the sale of shares develops, a shareholder may only be able to sell its shares
at a substantial discount from the public offering price. Consequently, the
purchase of shares should be considered only as a long-term investment.
Reinvestment Plan
A Reinvestment Plan is available which enables shareholders to have their
distributions from the Company invested in shares of the Company, or fractions
thereof. The Reinvestment Plan became effective on March 29, 1993, the effective
date of the Offering.
During the offering period the price per share purchased pursuant to the
Reinvestment Plan equaled $20. From November 30, 1994 (the termination of the
offering period) until November 30, 1997 (the third anniversary of the final
closing date), the price per share purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan
was equal to $19. Effective November 30, 1997, the Board adopted a policy to
adjust the reinvestment price annually to reflect the net asset value of a share
of the Company's stock.
Shares received pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan will entitle participants to
the same rights and be treated in the same manner as those issued pursuant to
the Offering. In connection with shares issued pursuant to the Company's
Reinvestment Plan, the Company will issue shares to the Advisor in an amount
which will equal (after such issuance) 1% of the outstanding shares.
Experience under the Reinvestment Plan may indicate that changes are desirable.
The Company's Declaration of Trust gives the Trustees broad powers to renew,
modify, extend, consolidate or cancel the Company's Reinvestment Plan without
the consent of shareholders.
Redemption Plan
The Company's Redemption Plan became effective November 30, 1994. Under the
Redemption Plan, any shareholder (except the Advisor who cannot participate in
the Redemption Plan) who acquired or received shares directly from the Company
or the Reinvestment Plan (such shares, for so long as owned by the original
holder, are called "Eligible Shares") may present such Eligible Shares to the
Company for redemption. The Company is required to redeem such Eligible Shares
presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has sufficient net proceeds
("Reinvestment Proceeds") from the sale of shares under the Reinvestment Plan.
There is no assurance that there will be Reinvestment Proceeds available for
redemption and, accordingly, an investor's shares may not be redeemed. The full
amount of Reinvestment Proceeds in any quarter will be used to redeem Eligible
Shares presented for redemption during such quarter. If the full amount of
Reinvestment Proceeds available for redemption in any given quarter is
insufficient to redeem all Eligible Shares presented for redemption during such
quarter, the Company will redeem the Eligible Shares presented for redemption on
a pro rata whole share basis, without redemption of fractional shares.
Through the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the redemption price was $19 per
Eligible Share. As permitted by the provisions of the Redemption Plan, the Board
of Trustees implemented the following change to the calculation of the
redemption price for the quarter ended June 30, 1997: the original $19 per share
redemption price was reduced to reflect any return of principal received by
shareholders. As of June 30, 1997, the amount of principal which had been
distributed to shareholders was $1.53 per share and, therefore, the redemption
price was $17.47 per share ($19 per share less $1.53 per share) for redemptions
which occurred in October 1997 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The Board
subsequently adopted a policy to adjust the redemption price annually to reflect
the then net asset value of a share of the Company's stock. This new policy is
effective for redemptions with respect to quarters ended September 30, 1997 and
thereafter. As of December 31, 1997, the backlog of shares to be redeemed is
129,275.
A shareholder may present less than all his or her Eligible Shares to the
Company for redemption, provided, however, that (i) he or she must present the
lesser of all of his or her Eligible Shares or 125 Eligible Shares (50 Eligible
Shares for an Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan) for redemption, and
(ii) if he or she retains any Eligible Shares, he or she must retain at least
125 Eligible Shares (50 Eligible Shares for an Individual Retirement Account or
Keogh Plan).
Pursuant to the Redemption Plan, through March 27, 1998, the Company redeemed
248,167 shares aggregating $4,604,870.
The Trustees, may amend or suspend the Redemption Plan at any time they
determine, in their sole discretion, that it is in the best interest of the
Company.

------- ----------
Total for 1996 $1.4500 $5,569,283
======= ==========
Quarterly distributions were made 45 days following the close of the calendar
quarter and were funded from cash provided from earnings through approximately
the distribution dates.
There are no material legal restrictions upon the Company's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Declaration of Trust.
The Company has adopted a policy of attempting to maintain stable distributions
to shareholders during the offering and acquisition stages of the Company. In
order to accomplish this result, it has disposed of, and may be required to
continue to dispose of, a portion of the Mortgage Investments consisting of CMOs
and REMICs during this period. The effect of this policy has been the following:
(a) a portion of the distributions have constituted, and will continue to
constitute, a return of capital; (b) earlier investors' returns from an
investment in the Company will be greater than later investors' returns; and (c)
there will be a decrease in funds remaining invested in Mortgage Investments.
The Company has completed the offering and acquisition stage and therefore, the
Board reviewed and changed the current distribution policy. Beginning in the
first quarter of 1998 the Company's distribution policy will call for quarterly
distributions which more closely reflect collections of interest payments.
Of the total distributions of $5,575,532 and $5,569,283 made in the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, $2,029,717 ($.53 per share or 36%) and $2,281,652
($.57 per share or 41%) represented returns of capital determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. As of December 31, 1997, the
aggregate amount of the distributions made since the commencement of the
Offering representing a return of capital, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, totaled $9,012,732. The portion of the distributions
which constitutes a return of capital was significant during the acquisition
stage in order to maintain level distributions to shareholders. However, the
aggregate amount of the disposition proceeds used for distributions cannot in
the aggregate, exceed 3% of the Gross Proceeds. As of December 31, 1997, the
aggregate amount of disposition proceeds used to support distributions equaled
2.44% of the Gross Proceeds, resulting in approximately $428,000 being available
to support future distributions if necessary. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Distribution
Policy".

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has completed the offering and acquisition stage and has utilized
the Net Proceeds of the Offering primarily to make or invest in Originated
Mortgages and Acquired Mortgages. The Company has also invested in uninsured
Additional Loans made directly to the developers or sponsors of Developments.
Not more than an aggregate of 7% of the Net Proceeds raised in the Offering may
be invested in Additional Loans. As of December 31, 1997, of the total Net
Proceeds available for investment, 84.9% had been invested in Originated
Mortgages (including 6.32% in Additional Loans) and 15.1% in Acquired Mortgages.
As permitted by the provisions of the Redemption Plan, the Board of Trustees
implemented the following change to the calculation of the redemption price for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997: the original $19 per share redemption price was
reduced to reflect any return of principal received by shareholders. As of June
30, 1997, the amount of principal which had been distributed to shareholders was
$1.53 per share and, therefore, the redemption price was $17.47 per share ($19
per share less $1.53 per share) for redemptions which occurred in October 1997
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The Board subsequently adopted a policy to
adjust the redemption price each quarter to reflect the then net asset value of
a share of the Company's stock. This new policy is effective for redemptions
with respect to quarters ended September 30, 1997 and thereafter. As of December
31, 1997, the backlog of shares to be redeemed is 129,275. With respect to the
Reinvestment Plan, the Board also adopted a policy to adjust the reinvestment
price at which participants may acquire additional shares under the Reinvestment
Plan to also reflect the then net assets value of a share of the Company's
stock. The change in policy with respect to the reinvestment price is effective
November 30, 1997.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents decreased
approximately $2,988,000 due to investments in mortgage loans ($2,466,000),
purchase of REMIC and GNMA Certificates ($3,871,000) and distributions to
shareholders ($5,576,000) which exceeded cash provided by operating activities
($4,434,000) and principal repayments of loans, GNMAs, REMICs and the FHA
Insured Project Loan ($4,492,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the
net income to cash provided by operating activities is net amortization in the
amount of $494,000.
For a description of the Company's investments in Originated Mortgages, REMIC
and GNMA Certificates, see Item 1. Business.
Net unrealized gains on REMIC and GNMA investments included in shareholders'
equity pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
aggregated $173,598 at December 31, 1997. This represents a decrease of $254,984
in the unrealized loss for the year ended December 31, 1997, of which a decrease
of $15,647 is attributable to the sale of securities (which resulted in a
realized loss of $66,735) a decrease of $53,925 is attributable to securities
purchased during 1997 and a decrease of $185,412 is attributable to an increase
in market prices for the investments held at December 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996. As of March, 16 1998, the unrealized gain was approximately $182,000.
The yield on the REMIC and GNMA Certificates will depend, in part, upon the rate
and timing of principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages in the asset
pool. Generally, as market interest rates decrease, mortgage prepayment rates
increase and the market value of interest rate sensitive obligations like the
REMIC and GNMA Certificates increases. As market interest rates increase,
mortgage prepayment rates tend to decrease and the market value of interest rate
sensitive obligations like the REMICs and GNMAs tends to decrease. The effect of
prepayments on yield is greater the earlier a prepayment of principal is
received. Due to the complexity of the REMIC structure and the uncertainty of
future economic and other factors that affect interest rates and mortgage
prepayments, it is not possible to predict the effect of future events upon the
yield to maturity or the market value of the REMIC and GNMA Certificates upon
any sale or other disposition or whether the Company, if it chose to, would be
able to reinvest proceeds from prepayments at favorable rates relative to the
coupon rate.
The Company expects to use its reinvestment dividend to redeem shares through
its Redemption Plan and does not expect to have reinvested dividends available
for investment. Unadvanced amounts will be invested in temporary investments.
The Company expects that cash generated from the Company's investments will be
sufficient to pay all of the Company's expenses in the foreseeable future.
The Company's liquidity is based primarily on interest received from permanent
Mortgage Investments and interest on unadvanced amounts from Originated
Mortgages. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended, the Company must, among other things, distribute at least 95% of its
taxable income.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
primarily consist of interest income from Original Mortgages, REMIC
Certificates, FHA Insured Project Loan and temporary investments less
administrative expenses, realized losses on sale of REMICs and GNMAs and FHA
Insured Project Loan and amortization expenses. The total of the annual
operating expenses of the Company may not exceed the greater of (i) 2% of the
Average Invested Assets of the Company or (ii) 25% of the Company's net income,
unless such excess is approved by the Independent Trustees. There was no such
excess for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
1997 vs 1996
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 consist primarily of
interest income of approximately $3,118,000 earned on Originated Mortgages
(excluding GNMAs), approximately $976,000 earned from investments in REMIC and
GNMA Certificates and the FHA Insured Project Loan, and approximately $151,000
earned from temporary investments.
The increase in interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding GNMAs) of
approximately $252,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 1996
is primarily due to the additional advances on the Stonybrook Orginated Mortgage
in 1997.
-9-
The decrease in interest from REMIC and GNMA Certificates and the FHA Insured
Project Loan of approximately $331,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to 1996 is primarily due to the sale of one REMIC in August 1996 and
the repayment of the FHA Insured Project Loan in May 1997, partially offset by
the purchase of two REMICs in May 1997 and two REMICs and one GNMA in June 1997.
The decrease in interest income from temporary investments of approximately
$101,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 1996 is primarily
due to a decrease in uninvested proceeds earning interest in 1997.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $60,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 1996 is primarily due to a
decrease in legal, engineering and accounting fees, as well as decreases in
several other general and administrative expenses in 1997.
The decrease in realized loss on sale of REMICs and GNMAs and FHA Insured
Project Loan of approximately $349,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to 1996 is primarily due to the sale of one REMIC in August 1996.
1996 vs 1995
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 consist primarily of
interest income of approximately $2,866,000 earned on Originated Mortgages
(excluding GNMAs), approximately $1,307,000 earned from investments in REMIC and
GNMA Certificates and the FHA Insured Project Loan, and approximately $252,000
earned from temporary investments.
The increase in interest income from Originated Mortgages (excluding GNMAs) of
approximately $608,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995
is due to the addition of the Stony Brook Originated Mortgage in December 1995
and additional advances on the Columbiana Originated Mortgage during 1995 and
1996.
The decrease in interest from REMIC and GNMA Certificates and the FHA Insured
Project Loan of approximately $276,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 is primarily due to the sale of a portion of one of the REMICs
in March 1995 and the sale of one REMIC in August 1996, as well as decreased
principal balances as a result of principal repayments.
The decrease in interest income from temporary investments of approximately
$263,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 is primarily
due to a decrease in uninvested proceeds, temporary investments earning interest
in 1996.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $28,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 is primarily due to a
decrease in printing and stationery expenses.
Distribution Policy
The Company has adopted a policy of attempting to maintain stable distributions
to shareholders during the offering and acquisition stages of the Company. In
order to accomplish this result, it has disposed of, and may be required to
continue to dispose of a portion of the CMOs and REMICs during this period. The
effect of this policy has been the following: (a) a portion of the distributions
have constituted, and will continue to constitute, a return of capital; (b)
earlier investors' returns from an investment in the Company will be greater
than later investors' returns; and (c) there has been a decrease in funds
remaining to be invested in Mortgage Investments. The Company has completed the
offering and acquisition stage and therefore, the Board reviewed and changed the
current distribution policy. Beginning in the first quarter of 1998 the
Company's distribution policy will call for quarterly distributions which more
closely reflect collections of interest payments.
In order to minimize the possible adverse effects of the investment and
distribution policy described above, the Company has made the following
undertakings: (a) the Advisor has agreed not to retain acquisition fees or loan
disposition fees with respect to any portion of REMICs or CMOs which are sold
pursuant to the distribution policy; such fees totaled $96,112 as of December
31, 1997 and 1996; (b) the Advisor has agreed to contribute to the Company funds
equal to the amount by which all trading losses exceed the gains resulting from
the sale of REMIC and CMO investments to supplement the distribution policy;
such funds totaled $97,221 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996; and (c) the Company
has agreed to limit the total amount which can be returned to investors from the
early sale of investments to support the distributions policy to less than 3% of
the Gross Proceeds. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, no
investments were sold in order to support the distribution policy.
Of the total distributions of $5,575,532, $5,569,283 and $5,566,609 made for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, $2,029,717 ($.53 per share or
36%), $2,281,652 ($.57 per share or 41%) and $2,419,477 ($.61 per share or 43%)
represents a return of capital determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. As of December 31, 1997, the aggregate amount of the
distributions made since the commencement of the Offering representing a return
of capital, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, totaled
$9,012,732. The portion of the distributions which constitute a return of
capital was significant during the acquisition stage in order to maintain level
distributions to shareholders. However, as described above, the aggregate amount
of the disposition proceeds used for distributions cannot in the aggregate
exceed 3% of the Gross Proceeds. As of December 31, 1997, the aggregate amount
of disposition proceeds used to support distributions equaled 2.44% of the Gross
Proceeds resulting in approximately $428,000 being available to support future
distributions if necessary.
Management expects that cash flow from operations combined with the balance of
the disposition proceeds above will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operating expenses and continue to make distributions as determined by the Board
on a quarterly basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new
accounting pronouncements. Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Statement No. 129,
"Disclosure of
-10-
Information about Capital Structure" establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure. The adoption of these standards
in 1997 has not materially affected the Company's reported operating results,
per share amounts, financial position or cash flows.
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, were
issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for
comparative purposes, is required. The statement also requires the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income to be displayed separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement
of financial position.
SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Categories required to be reported as well as reconciled to the
financial statements are segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and
expense items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Both SFAS No. 130 and 131 are disclosure related only and therefore will have no
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Year 2000 Compliance
As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The Advisor is in the process of working with the Company's
service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on information currently
available, the Company does not expect that it will incur significant operating
expenses or be required to incur material costs to be year 2000 compliant.

American Mortgage Investors Trust:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Mortgage Investors
Trust (a Massachusetts Business Trust) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of American Mortgage Investors
Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and

AMERICAN MORTGAGE INVESTORS TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - General
American Mortgage Investors Trust (the "Company") was formed on June 11, 1991 as
a Massachusetts business trust for the primary purpose of investing in
government-insured mortgages and guaranteed mortgage-backed certificates. The
Company is electing to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Company issued 10,000 shares of beneficial interest at $20 per share in
exchange for $200,000 cash from Related AMI Associates, Inc., the current
advisor to the Company (the "Advisor").
On March 29, 1993, the Company commenced a public offering (the "Offering")
through Related Equities Corporation, (the "Dealer Manager") an affiliate of the
Advisor, and other broker-dealers on a "best efforts" basis, for up to
10,000,000 of its shares of beneficial interest at an initial offering price of
$20 per share. The Offering terminated as of November 30, 1994. As of November
30, 1994, a total of 3,809,601 shares had been sold to the public, either
through the Offering or the Company's dividend reinvestment plan (the
"Reinvestment Plan"), representing Gross Proceeds (the "Gross Proceeds") of
$76,192,021 (before volume discounts of $40,575). Pursuant to the Redemption
Plan which became effective November 30, 1994, the Company is required to redeem
eligible shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has
sufficient net proceeds from the sale of shares under the Reinvestment Plan.
Since November 30, 1994, 229,501 shares have been sold through the Reinvestment
Plan, the proceeds of which are restricted for use in connection with the
Redemption Plan and are not included in gross proceeds. Pursuant to the
Redemption Plan as of December 31, 1997, 248,167 shares have been redeemed for
an aggregate price of $4,604,870. Of such redemptions, 16,931 shares were
redeemed from proceeds from the Reinvestment Plan before the termination of the
Offering and therefore, the proceeds available for future investment have been
reduced by $319,987. During the Offering, the Advisor received 38,481 restricted
shares (including 717 from the Reinvestment Plan) in addition to the 10,000
shares purchased, which the Advisor has valued at $14.75 per share, pursuant to
the terms of the Offering. As a result of the shares being redeemed the Advisor
was required to return 172 shares as of December 31, 1994; no additional shares
were required to be redeemed since then. As of December 31, 1997, the backlog of
shares to be redeemed is 129,275. As permitted by the provisions of the
Redemption Plan, the Board of Trustees implemented the following change to the
calculation of the redemption price for the quarter ended June 30, 1997: the
original $19 per share redemption price was reduced to reflect any return of
principal received by shareholders. As of June 30, 1997, the amount of principal
which had been distributed to shareholders was $1.53 per share and, therefore,
the redemption price was $17.47 per share ($19 per share less $1.53 per share)
for redemptions which occurred in October 1997 for the quarter ended June 30,
1997. The Board subsequently adopted a policy to adjust the redemption price
annually to reflect the then net asset value of a share of the Company's stock.
This new policy is effective for redemptions with respect to quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and thereafter. With respect to the Reinvestment Plan, the
Board also adopted a policy to adjust the reinvestment price annually at which
participants may acquire additional shares under the Reinvestment Plan to also
reflect the then net asset value of a share of the Company's stock. The change
in policy with respect to the reinvestment price is effective November 30, 1997.
The Company has invested principally in two types of mortgage investments
("Mortgage Investments"): (i) new mortgage loans originated by or on behalf of
the Company or by other lenders and sold to the Company prior to the loans being
fully funded and (ii) Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities and pass-through
certificates ("Originated Mortgages") and existing mortgage loans that it
acquires ("Acquired Mortgages") on multifamily residential rental properties
("Developments"). No more than 7% of the Net Proceeds may be invested in
non-interest bearing uninsured loans made directly to developers or sponsors of
Developments (or the general partners or other principals of the owner of the
Developments) with respect to which the Company holds a mortgage ("Additional
Loans"). As of December 31, 1997, all of the original Net Proceeds available for
investment had been invested in permanent Mortagage Investments. As of December
31, 1997, of the total Net Proceeds available for investment, 84.9% had been
invested in Originated Mortgages (including 6.32% in Additional Loans) and 15.1%
had been invested in Acquired Mortgages.
The Company also invested in REMICs and in CMOs or participations therein that
are backed by single family and/or multifamily mortgage loans insured by FHA or
mortgage certificates guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Due
to the complexity of the REMIC structure and the uncertainty of future economic
and other factors that affect interest rates and mortgage prepayments, it is not
possible to predict the effect of future events upon the yield to maturity or
the market value of the REMIC and GNMA Certificates upon any sale or other
disposition or whether the Company, if it chose to, would be able to reinvest
proceeds from prepayments at favorable rates relative to the coupon rate.
NOTE 2 - Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Accounting
The books and records of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments with original maturity
dates equal to or less than 3 months and are carried at cost plus accrued
interest, which approximates market.
-19-
c) Loan Origination Costs
Acquisition fees and expenses incurred for the investment of mortgage loans have
been capitalized and are included in investment in loans. Loan origination costs
are being amortized on the effective yield method over the lives of the
respective mortgages.
d) Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Company including, but not limited to, legal,
accounting, and registration fees are considered organization costs. These costs
have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight line basis over a 60-month
period.
Costs incurred to sell shares including brokerage and nonaccountable expense
allowance are considered offering costs. These costs were charged directly to
shareholders' equity.
e) Income Taxes
The Company has qualified as a real estate investment trust under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A real estate investment trust is
generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its real estate
investment trust taxable income ("Taxable Income") which is distributed to its
shareholders provided that at least 95% of Taxable Income is distributed. No
provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements, as
the Company believes it is in compliance with the Code and has distributed all
of its Taxable Income.
f) Net Income Per Weighted Average Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which is effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. This statement requires that the current calculations of
earnings per share be replaced by basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations. The Company has determined that the application of SFAS No. 128
had no effect on its calculation of earnings per share.
Net income per weighted average share is computed based on the net income for
the period, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were 3,851,029, 3,972,625 and 3,896,620,
respectively.
g) Investments in Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At December 31, 1997 and
1996, the Company has classified its securities as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain
(loss) reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that
is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related
security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend
and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for
securities are included in earnings and are derived using the specific
identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold.
h) Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation.
i) Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
j) Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
Financial instruments held by the Company include cash equivalents, investments
in loans, investment in REMIC and GNMA Certificates and FHA Insured Project
Loan, interest receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses.
For cash and cash equivalents, investments in loans, interest receivable and
accounts payable and accrued expenses the carrying amounts are a reasonable
estimate of fair value. The investment in REMIC and GNMA Certificates and FHA
Insured Project Loan are carried at fair value.
k) Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. SFAS No. 114 requires lenders to measure impaired loans based on: (i)
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans'
effective interest rate; (ii) the loan's observable market price; or (iii) the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. An allowance
for loan losses is main-
-20-
tained if the measure of an impaired loan is less than its recorded investment.
Adjustments to the allowance are made through corresponding charges or credits
to the provision for loan losses.
l) Recent Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new
accounting pronouncements. Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Statement No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The adoption of
these standards in 1997 has not materially affected the Company's reported
operating results, per share amounts, financial position or cash flows.
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, were
issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for
comparative purposes, is required. The statement also requires the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income to be displayed separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement
of financial position.
SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Categories required to be reported as well as reconciled to the
financial statements are segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and
expense items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Both SFAS No. 130 and 131 are disclosure related only and therefore will have no
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Note 3 - Investment in Mortgage Loans
The Company originally funded five Originated Mortgages (excluding GNMAs-see
Note 4), five non-interest bearing Additional Loans and two additional
loan-bridge loans in the aggregate amount of $46,837,304.

NOTE 5 - Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into an agreement with the Advisor pursuant to which the
Advisor receives compensation consisting primarily of (i) compensation in
connection with the organization and start-up of the Company and the Company's
investment in the Mortgage Investments; (ii) asset management fees calculated as
a percentage of total assets invested by the Company which totaled approximately
$367,000, $376,000 and $340,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively, such amounts are included in due to affiliates; (iii) a
subordinated incentive fee based on the economic gain on the sale of Mortgage
Investments; (iv) an amount, payable in shares of the Company which, after
issuance, will equal 1% of all shares of the Company issued during the offering
period or pursuant to the Company's Reinvestment Plan as compensation for
services rendered. During the Offering the Advisor received 38,481 shares, in
addition to the 10,000 shares purchased, however as a result of the shares being
redeemed the Advisor was required to return 172 shares. (As of December 31, 1997
and 1996, shares received by the Advisor totaled 38,309 at a total value of
$565,058 ($14.75 per share); (v) acquisition expense allowance and acquisition
fees calculated as a percentage of the Gross Proceeds applicable to the
origination of Originated Mortgages and related Additional Loans and the
acquisition of Acquired Mortgages and Additional Loan; (acquisition fees and
acquisition expense allowance approximated $2,545,000 and $725,000 as of
December 31, 1997 and $2,545,000 and $722,000 as of December 31, 1996); and (vi)
certain other fees. In addition to the costs, fees and expenses discussed above,
the Company reimburses affiliates of the Advisor for certain administrative and
other costs incurred on behalf of the Company. The costs and expenses incurred
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were approximately
$111,000, $138,000 and $191,000, respectively.
In order to minimize the possible adverse effects of the Company's investment
and distribution policy of attempting to maintain stable distributions to
shareholders during the offering and acquisition stages, described above, the
Company has made the following undertakings: (a) the Advisor has agreed not to
retain acquisition fees or loan disposition fees with respect to any portion of
REMICs or CMOs which are sold pursuant to the distribution policy; such fees
totaled $96,112 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996; (b) the Advisor has agreed to
contribute to the Company funds equal to the amount by which all trading losses
exceed the gains resulting from the sale of REMICs and CMOs investments to
supplement the distribution policy; such funds totaled $97,221 as of December
31, 1997 and 1996; and (c) the Company has agreed to limit the total amount
which can be returned to investors from the early sale of investments to support
the distributions policy to less than 3% of the Gross Proceeds. As of December
31, 1997, the aggregate amount of disposition proceeds used to support
distributions equaled 2.44% of the Gross Proceeds, resulting in approximately
$428,000 being available to support future distributions if necessary.
NOTE 6 - Subsequent Event
On February 14, 1998, a distribution of $1,385,509 and $17,656 was paid to the
Investors and the Advisor, respectively, representing the 1997 fourth quarter
distribution. The distribution was funded from cash collections of debt service
payments and interest income through approximately the distribution date,
February 14, 1998.
