hereby amended as set forth below. Except as amended hereby, all of the terms of
the Offer and all disclosure set forth in the Schedule previously filed remain
unchanged.

                                  TENDER OFFER

         This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer by
SUTTER OPPORTUNITY FUND 2, LLC (the "Purchaser") to purchase up to 296,948
Shares of Common Stock $0.01 par value (the "Shares") in CAPITAL ALLIANCE INCOME
TRUST LTD., A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $4.50 per Share,
less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Shares
between the Offer Date and the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of
Transmittal.

         As noted above, the Offer Price is $4.50 per share, less the amount of
any distributions declared or made with respect to the Shares between the Offer
Date and the Expiration Date. On April 16, 2001, the Issuer declared a dividend
of $0.085 per Share, effectively reducing the Offer Price to $4.415 per Share.

         The Expiration Date, originally May 4, 2001, is hereby extended to May
18, 2001.

         The number of Shares subject to the Offer and the price per share
relate to the Common Shares as outstanding on the date of the Offer, and will be
adjusted proportionately upon the effectiveness of any reverse stock split or
other structural adjustment to the outstanding Shares occurring prior to
consummation of the Offer.

         Sutter Capital Management, LLC and Robert E. Dixon are named as
"Bidders" in this Schedule TO solely because of control relationships with
Sutter Opportunity Fund 2, LLC. Due to such relationships they may be deemed
beneficial owners of securities owned by Sutter Opportunity Fund 2, LLC.
Nevertheless, only Sutter Opportunity Fund 2, LLC intends to acquire Shares
pursuant to this offer and neither Sutter Capital Management, LLC, manager of
Sutter Opportunity Fund 2, LLC, nor Robert E. Dixon, manager of Sutter Capital
Management, LLC, intends to acquire directly any shares.

         The information in the Offer to Purchase and in the original Schedule
TO, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference in response to all the items of this Statement.
