ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
------

Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989 by
filing a Declaration of Trust in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust is
authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of beneficial
interest ("the Shares"). The Trust raised approximately $300 million through a
public offering of Shares of beneficial interest and used the proceeds available
for investment primarily to acquire participating insured mortgages ("PIMs"),
participating insured mortgage investments ("PIMIs") and mortgage-backed
securities ("MBS"). The Trust considers itself to be engaged in only one
industry segment, investment in mortgages.

The Trust has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"),
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Trust shall terminate
on December 31, 2029 unless earlier terminated by the affirmative vote of
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. See
Note A of Notes to Financial Statements included in Appendix A of this report
for additional information.

The Trust's investments in PIMs on multi-family residential properties consist
of (1) a MBS or an insured mortgage loan (collectively, the "insured mortgage")
guaranteed or insured as to principal and basic interest, and (2) a
participating mortgage. The insured mortgages were issued or originated under or
in connection with the housing programs of Fannie Mae, the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), or the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")
under the authority of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").
PIMs provide the Trust with monthly payments of principal and basic interest and
may also provide for Trust participation in the current revenue stream and in
residual value, if any, from a sale or other realization of the underlying
property. The borrower conveys the participation rights to the Trust through a
subordinated promissory note and mortgage. The participation features are
neither insured nor guaranteed.

The PIMIs consist of (1) an insured mortgage issued by GNMA or originated under
the lending program of the FHA, (2) an additional loan ("Additional Loan") to
the borrower or owners of the borrower in excess of mortgage amounts insured or
guaranteed under GNMA or FHA programs that increases the Trust's total financing
with respect to that property and (3) a participating mortgage. Additional Loans
associated with insured mortgages issued or originated in connection with HUD
insured programs cannot, under government regulations, be collateralized by a
mortgage on the underlying property. These Additional Loans are typically
collateralized by a security interest satisfactory to Berkshire Mortgage
Advisors Limited Partnership ("the Advisor"). The Additional Loans are neither
insured nor guaranteed. In addition, the participation features related to the
participating mortgage are neither insured nor guaranteed. Additional Loans
provide the Trust with semi-annual interest payments and may provide additional
interest in the future while the participating mortgage provides for Trust
participation in the net income and residual value, if any, of the underlying
property.

The Trust also has investments in MBS collateralized by single-family and
multi-family mortgage loans issued or originated by GNMA, FHA, Fannie Mae, the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). Fannie Mae and FHLMC guarantee
the principal and basic interest of the Fannie Mae and FHLMC MBS, respectively.
GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on its MBS, and HUD
insures the pooled mortgage loans underlying the GNMA MBS and FHA mortgage
loans.

The Trust will distribute all proceeds from prepayments or other realizations of
mortgage assets to investors either through quarterly dividends or special
dividends.

Although the Trust will terminate no later than December 31, 2029, the value of
the PIMs and PIMIs may be realized by the Trust through repayment or sale as
early as ten years from the dates of the closings of the permanent loans, and
the Trust may realize the value of all of its other investments within that time
frame thereby resulting in a dissolution of the Trust significantly prior to
December 31, 2029.

The Trust's investments are not expected to be subject to seasonal fluctuations,
although net income may vary somewhat from quarter to quarter based upon the
participation features of its investments. The requirements for compliance with
federal, state and local regulations to date have not adversely affected the
Trust's operations, and the Trust anticipates no adverse effect in the future.



To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Trust made a valid
election to be so treated and must continue to satisfy a range of complex
requirements including criteria related to its ownership structure, the nature
of its assets, the sources of its income and the amount of its dividends to
shareholders. The Trust intends to qualify as a REIT in each year of operation,
however, certain factors may have an adverse effect on the Trust's REIT status.
If for any taxable year, the Trustees and the Advisor determine that any of the
asset, income, or dividend tests are not likely to be satisfied, the Trust may
be required to borrow money, dispose of mortgages or take other action to avoid
loss of REIT status.

Additionally, if the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, it
will be subject to federal income tax as if it were a corporation and the
shareholders will be taxed as shareholders of a corporation. If the Trust were
taxed as a corporation, the payment of such tax by the Trust would substantially
reduce the funds available for dividends to shareholders. To the extent that
dividends had been made in anticipation of the Trust's qualification as a REIT,
the Trust might be required to borrow additional funds or to liquidate certain
investments in order to pay the applicable tax. Moreover, should the Trust's
election to be taxed as a REIT be terminated or voluntarily revoked, the Trust
may not be able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the following five-year
period.

As of December 31, 2001, there were no personnel directly employed by the Trust.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
------

None.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
------

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Trust, any director, officer
or affiliate of the Trust is a party to which would have a material effect on
the Trust and there are no material pending legal proceedings which any of its
investments are subject to.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
------

None.


                                   PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
------

There currently is no established public trading market for the Shares.

The number of investors holding Shares as of December 31, 2001 is approximately
11,200.

The Trust has and intends to continue declaring and paying dividends on a
quarterly basis. The Trustees established a dividend rate per Share per quarter
of $.17 per Share per quarter for 2000 and 2001. The Trustees expect to maintain
that rate for 2002.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
------

Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-K constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the Trust's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other
things, federal, state or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic
or local conditions; the inability of the borrower to meet financial obligations
on additional loans; pre-payments of mortgages; failure of borrowers to pay
participation interests due to poor operating results at properties underlying
the mortgages; uninsured losses and potential conflicts of interest between the
Trust and its Affiliates, including the Advisor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2001 the Trust had liquidity consisting of cash and cash
equivalents, of approximately $13.2 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 $2.6 million, and special dividends. Funds
for dividends come from interest income received on PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, 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 periodically reviews the dividend rate to determine whether an
adjustment is necessary based on projected future cash flows. The current
dividend rate is $.17 per Share per quarter. The Trustees, based on the
Advisor's recommendations, generally set a dividend rate that provides for level
quarterly dividends. To the extent quarterly dividends do not fully utilize the
cash available for distribution and cash balances increase, the Trustees may
adjust the dividend rate or distribute such funds through a special dividend.



In addition to providing guaranteed or insured monthly principal and interest
payments, the Trust's investments in PIMs and PIMIs also may provide additional
income through the interest on the Additional Loan portion of the PIMIs as well
as participation income based on operating cash flow and an increase in the
value realized upon the sale or refinance of the underlying properties. However,
these payments are neither guaranteed nor insured and depend upon the successful
operations of the underlying properties.

The Trust received both installments of Additional Loan interest due in 2001
from the Red Run PIMI. Two other PIMI investments, Mountain View and Windward
Lakes operate under workout agreements with the Trust that require Additional
Loan interest payments only if Surplus Cash, as defined by HUD, is generated
through property operations. Neither of these properties generated Surplus Cash
for the periods ending December 31, 2000 or June 30, 2001; consequently, the
Trust did not receive any Additional Loan interest.

The Trust received participation interest based on cash flow generated by
property operations from six of its investments during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2001. Waterford Townhomes paid $60,502, Red Run paid $72,841, The
Seasons paid $50,750, Lifestyles paid $118,968, Rivergreens paid $69,067 and
Lincoln Green paid $223,873.

Three properties operate under workout agreements with the Trust. Windward
Lakes' operating results deteriorated during 1995 and 1996, and in early 1997
the independent Trustees approved a workout with the borrower of the Windward
Lakes PIMI, an affiliate of the Advisor of the Trust. In the workout, the Trust
agreed to reduce the effective basic interest rate on the insured first mortgage
by 2% per annum for 1997 and 1% per annum for 1998, 1999 and 2000. The borrower
made an equity contribution of $133,036 to the property and agreed to cap the
annual management fee paid to an affiliate at 3% of revenues. The Trust's
participation in current operations is 50% of any Surplus Cash as determined
under HUD guidelines, and the Additional Loan interest is payable out of its
share of Surplus Cash. Any unpaid Additional Loan interest accrues at 7.5% per
annum. When the property is sold or refinanced, the Trust will receive 50% of
any net proceeds remaining after repayment of the insured mortgage, the
Additional Loan, the interest rate relief, accrued and unpaid Additional Loan
interest and the Borrower's equity up to the point that the Trust has received a
cumulative, non-compounded 10% preferred return on its investment in the PIMI.

In May 1998, the borrower on the Lifestyles PIMI defaulted on its debt service
payment on the insured first mortgage. The Trust agreed to a new workout that
runs through 2007. Under its terms, the Trust agreed to reduce the effective
interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.75% retroactively for 1998 to
clear the default, by 1.75% for 1999, and by 1.5% each year thereafter until the
property is sold or refinanced. An affiliate of the Advisor refunds
approximately .25% per annum to the Trust related to the interest reduction. The
borrower made a $550,000 equity contribution, which was escrowed, for the
exclusive purpose of correcting deferred maintenance and making capital
improvements to the property. The escrow has been used up for paint, building
repairs, parking lot repairs, a new fitness facility, clubhouse remodeling and
landscaping. Any Surplus Cash that is generated by property operations will be
split evenly between the Trust and the borrower. When the property is sold or
refinanced, the first $1,100,000 of any proceeds remaining after the insured
mortgage is paid off will be split 50% / 50% between the Trust and the borrower;
the next $1,690,220 of proceeds will be split 75% to the Trust and 25% to the
borrower; and any remaining proceeds will be split 50% / 50%. The borrower's new
equity and the reduction in the effective interest rate on the insured first
mortgage have provided funds for repairs and improvements that have helped
reposition Lifestyles. As a result of the performance of the property, the Trust
had initially established a valuation allowance of $1,130,316 on the Additional
Loan in 1998. During 2001, the Trust received a payment of $118,968 which was
recorded as a reduction in the principal balance of the Additional Loan and
related impairment provision. Based on improved market conditions and property
operations, the Trust has further reduced the impairment provision by $344,389
to $666,539 in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Mountain View is similar to Lifestyles with respect to competitive market
conditions. In June 1999, the Trust approved a second workout that runs through
2004. Under its terms, the Trust agreed to reduce the effective interest rate on
the insured first mortgage by 1.25% retroactively for 1999 and each year
thereafter until the property is sold or refinanced, and to change the
participation terms. The workout eliminated the preferred return feature,
forgave $288,580 of previous accruals of Additional Loan interest related to the
first workout, and changed the Trust's participation in Surplus Cash generated
by the property. The Trust will receive 75% of the first $130,667 of Surplus
Cash and 50% of any remaining Surplus Cash on an annual basis to pay Additional
Loan interest. Unpaid Additional Loan interest related to the second workout
will accrue and be payable if there are sufficient proceeds from a sale or
refinancing of the property. In addition, the borrower repaid $153,600 of the
Additional Loan and funded approximately $54,000 to a reserve for property
improvements. As a result of the factors described above, the Advisor determined
that the Additional Loan collateralized by the Mountain View asset was impaired
and maintains a valuation allowance of $1,032,272.



Whether the operating performance at any of the properties mentioned above
provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay either the Additional Loan
interest or participation income will depend on factors that the Trust has
little or no control over. Should the properties be unable to generate
sufficient cash flow to pay the Additional Loan interest, it would reduce the
Trust's distributable cash flow and could affect the value of the Additional
Loan collateral.

There are contractual restrictions on the repayment of the PIMs and PIMIs.
During the first five years of the investment, borrowers are prohibited from
repayment. During the second five years, the PIM borrowers can prepay the
insured first mortgage by paying the greater of a prepayment premium or the
participation due at the time of the prepayment. Similarly, the PIMI borrowers
can prepay the insured first mortgage and the Additional Loan by satisfying any
contractual obligations. The participation features and Additional Loans are
neither insured nor guaranteed. If the prepayment of the PIM or PIMI results
from the foreclosure on the underlying property or an insurance claim, the Trust
would probably not receive any participation income or any amounts due under the
Additional Loan.

On January 2, 2002, the Trust received a prepayment of the Waterford Apartments
Subordinate Promissory note. The Trust received $379,725 of Minimum Additional
Interest and $425,643 of Shared Appreciation Interest. On January 17, 2002, the
Trust received $6,625,742 representing the principal proceeds on the first
mortgage. In addition, the Trust received a prepayment premium of $66,257 from
the payoff. The Advisor has declared a special dividend of $0.51 per share from
the proceeds of the Waterford Apartments PIM prepayment which will be paid in
the first quarter of 2002.

On December 31, 2001, the Trust received a prepayment of the Red Run Additional
Loan. The Trust received $2,900,000 of Additional Loan principal, $238,369 of
Shared Appreciation Interest, $3,506,952 of preferred interest and $67,667 of
Base Interest on the Additional Loan. In addition, the Trust recognized $702,259
of Additional Loan interest that had been previously received and recorded in
deferred income on additional loans. On January 3, 2002, the Trust received
$18,330,825 representing the principal proceeds on the first mortgage note. The
Advisor declared a special dividend of $1.68 per share from the proceeds of the
Red Run PIMI prepayment which was paid on January 16, 2002.

On July 23, 2001, the Trust received a prepayment of the Seasons Subordinated
Promissory Note and the Seasons Additional Loan. The Trust received $1,924,649
of Additional Loan principal, $180,916 of surplus cash, $847,450 of preferred
interest, $1,052,455 of contingent interest, $69,129 of Base Interest on the
Additional Loan and $1,299,562 which represents the Trust's portion of the
residual split. The Trust received $8,567,890 representing the principal
proceeds on the first mortgage note on July 26, 2001. In addition, the Trust
recognized $180,633 of Additional Loan interest that had been previously
received and recorded in deferred income on additional loans. On August 17,
2001, the Advisor paid a special dividend of $0.93 per share from the proceeds
of the Seasons PIMI prepayment.

The payoff of the Seasons PIMI was a result of the sale of the underlying
property by the borrower, Maryland Associates Limited Partnership ("MALP"),
which is an affiliate of the Adviser, to an affiliate of MALP's general partner.
Because the sale of the underlying property was to an affiliate, the Independent
Trustees of the Trust were required to approve the transaction, which they did
based upon a number of factors, including an appraisal of the underlying
property prepared by an independent third party MAI appraiser. The purchase
price paid by the affiliate for the underlying property was $1.6 million greater
than the value indicated by such appraisal.

During the third quarter of 1999, the Trust received a prepayment of the Audubon
Villas PIMI when the property was refinanced. The Trust received the prepayment
of the principal balance of the insured mortgage of $14,861,957, the principal
balance of the Additional Loan of $2,691,000, and participation income of
$1,966,901. Also, $1,962,261 was recognized as Additional Loan interest income
which was previously recorded as deferred income. On August 18, 1999, the
Advisor declared a special dividend of $1.30 per share that was paid on
September 17, 1999 from the payoff of the Audubon Villas PIMI.

The Trust has the option to call certain PIMs and all the PIMIs by accelerating
their maturity if the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year after permanent
funding. The Advisor will determine the merits of exercising the call option for
each PIM and PIMI as economic conditions warrant. Such factors as the condition
of the asset, local market conditions, the interest rate environment and
available financing will have an impact on these decisions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Trust's critical accounting policies relate primarily to revenue recognition
related to the participation features of the Trust's PIM and PIMI investments as
well as the recognition of deferred interest income on the Additional Loans. The
Trust's policies are as follows:

Basic interest is recognized based on the stated rate of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") Insured Mortgage loan (less the servicer's
fee) or the coupon rate of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA")
or Fannie Mae MBS. The Trust recognizes interest related to the participation
features when the amount becomes fixed and the transaction that gives rise to
such amount is consummated. The Trust defers the recognition of Additional Loan
interest payments as income to the extent these interest payments were from
escrows established with the proceeds of the Additional Loan. When the
properties underlying the PIMI's generate sufficient cash flow to make the
required Additional Loan interest payments and the Additional Loan value is
deemed collectible, the Trust recognizes income as earned and commences
amortization of the deferred interest amounts into income over the remaining
estimated term of the Additional Loan. During periods where mortgage loans are
impaired the Trust suspends amortizing deferred interest.



The Trust also fully reserves the portion of any Additional Loan interest
payment satisfied through the issuance of an operating loan and any associated
interest due on such operating loan. The Trust will recognize the income related
to the operating loan when the borrower repays amounts due under the operating
loan.

ITEM 7A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-------

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Trust's investments in insured mortgages and MBS are guaranteed or insured
by Fannie Mae, FHLMC, GNMA and 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.


Fannie Mae is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees
obligations originated under its programs. 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. GNMA
guarantees the full and timely payment of principal and basic interest on the
securities it issues, which represents interest in pooled mortgages insured by
HUD. Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government, 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,
ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating expenses, ability to
maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage. Operations also
may be effected by 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.

The Trust's investments also include cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$6.2 million of Agency paper, which is issued by Government Sponsored
Enterprises with a credit rating equal to the top rating category of a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Interest Rate Risk

The Trust's primary market risk exposure is to interest rate risk, which can be
defined as the exposure of the Trust's net income, comprehensive income or
financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. At December 31,
2001, the Trust's PIMs, PIMIs and MBS comprise the majority of the Trust's
assets. Decreases in interest rates may accelerate the prepayment of the Trust's
investments. The Trust does not utilize any derivatives or other instruments to
manage this risk as the Trust plans to hold all of its investments to expected
maturity.

The Trust monitors prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as
dividend requirements of the Trust, when setting regular dividend policy. For
MBS, the fund forecasts prepayments based on trends in similar securities as
reported by statistical reporting entities such as Bloomberg. For PIMs and
PIMIs, the Trust incorporates prepayment assumptions into planning as individual
properties notify the Trust of the intent to prepay or as they mature.

The following table provides information about the Trust's financial instruments
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For mortgage investments, the
table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates
("WAIR") by expected maturity dates. The expected maturity date is contractual
maturity adjusted for expectations of prepayments.

The Trust's net income increased in 2001 when compared to 2000 due primarily to
increases in Additional Loan and participation interest and a decrease in
provision for impaired mortgage loans. This is partially offset by decreases in
basic interest on PIMs and PIMIs, interest income on MBS, interest income on
cash and cash equivalents and by increases in amortization and general and
administrative expenses. Additional Loan interest increased primarily due to the
recognition of deferred revenue from the Season's and the Red Run Additional
Loan payoffs. Participation interest increased due to the collection of
participation interest from the Season's and Red Run payoffs (see discussion
above). The provision for impaired mortgage loans decreased due to an
improvement in the performance of the Lifestyles apartments. Basic interest on
PIMs and PIMIs decreased primarily due to the Season's PIMI payoff in the third
quarter of 2001. Interest income on MBS decreased due to principal collections
reducing the asset balance. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents
decreased due to lower average interest rates earned on cash balances available
for short-term investing in 2001 as compared to 2000. Amortization expense
increased due to the payoff of the Red Run PIMI. General and administrative
expenses increased due to an increase in legal fees associated with the research
related to the classification of income for REIT purposes.

The Trust's net income decreased by approximately $3.9 million for 2000 when
compared to 1999 due primarily to decreases in interest income net of decreases
in amortization expense and asset management fees due to an affiliate. Basic
interest on PIMs and PIMIs, Additional Loan Interest, and participation interest
decreased by $4.3 million in 2000 primarily due to the payoff of the Audubon
Villas PIMI in the third quarter of 1999. Interest income on MBS will continue
to decline as principal collections reduce the MBS investment balance. Interest
income on cash and cash equivalents decreased due to lower average cash
balances. Amortization expense decreased due to the payoff of the Audubon Villas
PIMI. The decrease in asset management fees is due to the Trust's asset base
declining.

To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of
Krupp Government Income Trust:

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Krupp
Government Income Trust (the "Trust") at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion,
the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related financial statements. These financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Trust's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                          KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.    Organization

      Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989
      by filing a Declaration of Trust in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
      Trust is authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of
      beneficial interest (the "Shares"). The Trust was organized for the
      purpose of investing in commercial and multi-family loans and mortgage
      backed securities. Berkshire Mortgage Advisors Limited Partnership
      ("BMALP")(the "Advisor"), acquired 10,000 of such Shares for $200,000 and
      14,999,999 Shares were sold for $299,480,263 net of purchase volume
      discounts of $519,717 under a public offering which commenced on April 19,
      1990 and ended on July 15, 1991. Under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
      ("DRP"), 43,136 Shares were sold for $819,356 during its public offering.
      The Trust shall terminate on December 31, 2029, unless earlier terminated
      by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares
      entitled to vote thereon.

B.    Significant Accounting Policies

      The Trust uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting
      purposes:

      Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
      basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally
      accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

      MBS

      The Trust, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
      Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
      Securities" ("FAS 115"), classifies its MBS portfolio as
      available-for-sale. As such, the Trust carries its MBS at fair market
      value and reflects any unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component
      of Shareholders' Equity. The Trust amortizes purchase premiums or
      discounts over the life of the underlying mortgages using the effective
      interest method.

      The Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") insured mortgage is carried at
      amortized cost. The Trust holds this loan at amortized cost since it is
      fully insured by FHA.

      PIMs and PIMIs

      The Trust accounts for its MBS portion of a PIM or PIMI in accordance with
      FAS 115 under the classification of held to maturity. The Trust carries
      those MBS at amortized cost.

      The insured mortgage portion of the FHA PIM or FHA PIMI is carried at
      amortized cost. The Trust holds these mortgages at amortized cost since
      they are fully insured by FHA.

      The Additional Loans are carried at amortized cost unless the Advisor of
      the Trust believes there is an impairment in value, in which case a
      valuation allowance is established in accordance with FAS 114 and FAS 118.

      Basic interest is recognized based on the stated rate of the Department of
      Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") Insured Mortgage loan (less the
      servicer's fee) or the coupon rate of the Government National Mortgage
      Association ("GNMA") or Fannie Mae MBS. The Trust recognizes interest
      related to the participation features when the amount becomes fixed and
      the transaction that gives rise to such amount is consummated. The Trust
      defers the recognition of Additional Loan interest payments as income to
      the extent these interest payments were from escrows established with the
      proceeds of the Additional Loan. When the properties underlying the PIMI's
      generate sufficient cash flow to make the required Additional Loan
      interest payments and the Additional Loan value is deemed collectible, the
      Trust recognizes income as earned and commences amortization of the
      deferred interest amounts into income over the remaining estimated term of
      the Additional Loan. During periods where mortgage loans are impaired the
      Trust suspends amortizing deferred interest.



                                    Continued

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued



B.    Significant Accounting Policies, continued

      PIMs and PIMIs, continued

      The Trust also fully reserves the portion of any Additional Loan interest
      payment satisfied through the issuance of an operating loan and any
      associated interest due on such operating loan. The Trust will recognize
      the income related to the operating loan when the borrower repays amounts
      due under the operating loan.

      Impaired Mortgage Loans

      Impaired loans are those loans which the Advisor believes that the
      collection of all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of
      the loan agreement are not likely. Impaired loans are measured based on
      the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest received on the
      impaired loans is applied against the loan principal.

      Cash Equivalents

      The Trust includes all short-term investments with maturities of three
      months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents.
      The Trust invests its cash primarily in agency paper and money market
      funds with a commercial bank and has not experienced any loss to date on
      its invested cash.

      Prepaid Fees and Expenses

      Prepaid fees and expenses represent prepaid acquisition fees and expenses
      and prepaid participation servicing fees paid for the acquisition and
      servicing of PIMs and PIMIs. The Trust amortizes prepaid acquisition fees
      and expenses using a method that approximates the effective interest
      method over a period of ten to twelve years, which represents the
      estimated life of the underlying mortgage.

      The Trust amortizes prepaid participation servicing fees using a method
      that approximates the effective interest method over a ten year period
      beginning at final endorsement of the loan if a HUD-insured mortgage loan
      or a GNMA MBS and at closing if a Fannie Mae MBS.

      Upon the repayment of a PIM or PIMI any unamortized acquisition fees and
      expenses and unamortized participation servicing fees related to such loan
      are expensed.

      Income Taxes

      The Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
      Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it will continue to meet all such
      qualifications. Accordingly, the Trust will not be subject to federal
      income taxes on amounts distributed to shareholders provided it
      distributes annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income and meets
      certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Therefore, no
      provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the financial
      statements.

      Estimates and Assumptions

      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and
      revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates include the
      net carrying value of Additional Loans and the unrealized gain on MBS
      investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

C.    PIMIs

      The Trust had investments in four PIMIs on December 31, 2001 and five
      PIMIs on December 31, 2000 that provide the permanent financing of
      multi-family housing. One component of a PIMI is either a securitized
      HUD-insured first mortgage loan issued and guaranteed by GNMA or a sole
      participation interest in a first mortgage loan originated under the FHA
      lending program and insured by HUD (collectively the "Insured Mortgages").
      The FHA first mortgage or the first mortgage underlying the GNMA security
      provided the borrower (generally a limited partnership) with a below
      market interest rate loan in exchange for providing the Trust with
      participation in a percentage of the cash generated from property
      operations and in a percentage of any appreciation of the underlying
      property to a preferred return, then a percentage of any appreciation
      thereafter. The borrower conveys these rights to the Trust through a
      subordinated promissory note and mortgage. In addition, the Trust made an
      Additional Loan to the owners of the borrower to provide additional funds
      for the construction and permanent financing of the property. The owners
      generally collateralize the Additional Loan through a pledge and security
      agreement that pledges their ownership interests in the borrower, and
      their share of any distributions made from surplus cash generated by the
      property and the proceeds realized upon the refinancing of the property,
      sale of the property or sale of the partnership interests. Amounts payable
      under the Additional Loan are neither guaranteed nor insured.

      The Trust receives level monthly principal and interest ("Basic Interest")
      payments amortizing over thirty to forty years, on the Insured Mortgage
      and is entitled to receive participation income under the subordinated
      promissory note and mortgage, and semi-annual interest payments
      ("Additional Loan Interest") and preferred interest under the Additional
      Loan ("Preferred Interest"). The Trust receives principal and interest
      payments on the Insured Mortgages currently, because these payments are
      insured or guaranteed; however, there are limitations to the amount and
      obligation to pay participation income, Additional Loan Interest and
      Preferred Interest.

      The subordinated promissory note and mortgage entitles the Trust to
      receive (i) Participating Income Interest generally equal to 50% of (a)
      all distributable Surplus Cash (as defined in the regulatory agreement of
      the HUD-insured first mortgage) generated by the property (b) any
      unrestricted cash generated from property operations and (c) to the extent
      available unexpended reserves and escrows, and (ii) Participating
      Appreciation Interest generally equal to 50% of the net proceeds or value
      of the property upon the sale, refinancing, maturity or accelerated
      maturity, or permitted prepayment of all amounts due under the Insured
      Mortgage and Additional Loan less the Outstanding Indebtedness, as
      defined. Amounts received by the Trust pursuant to the subordinated
      promissory note as Participating Income Interest reduce amounts payable as
      Preferred Interest and may reduce amounts payable as Base Interest under
      the Additional Loan.

      The Insured Mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally have
      maturities of 30 to 40 years, however, under the subordinated promissory
      note the Trust can generally accelerate these maturity dates at any time
      after the tenth anniversary of final endorsement for coinsurance or
      insurance, but in certain cases for construction loans after the eleventh
      or twelfth anniversary of initial endorsement (commencement of
      construction) for coinsurance or insurance, upon giving twelve months
      written notice for the payment of all accrued participation interest
      through the accelerated maturity date. The Trust can accelerate the
      maturity date for payment of amounts due under the subordinated promissory
      note and the insured mortgage providing the contract of insurance or
      coinsurance with the Secretary of HUD on the insured mortgage is canceled
      prior to the accelerated maturity date.

      Additional Loan Interest is payable from the following sources: (i) any
      Surplus Cash received pursuant to the subordinated promissory note as
      Participating Income Interest, (ii) amounts conveyed to the Trust by the
      owners of the borrowing entity representing distributions of Surplus Cash
      and (iii) amounts in reserve accounts established with the Additional Loan
      proceeds, if available, and any interest earned on these amounts. If these
      sources are not sufficient to make Additional Loan Interest payments the
      owners of the borrowing entity must notify the Trust of the amount of the
      shortfall and at its option the Trust could require a capital call from
      the owners of the borrowing entity. The capital call would be equal to 50%
      of the Additional Loan Interest shortfall and the Trust in certain
      situations could convert the remaining 50% into an operating loan.

C.    PIMIs, Continued

      In addition to the Additional Loan Interest payments, the Additional Loan
      requires the payment of Preferred Interest representing a cumulative,
      non-compounded preferred return from the date of final endorsement to the
      date of calculation at interest rates ranging from 9.5% to 11% per annum
      on the outstanding balance of the Insured Mortgage plus the Additional
      Loan and any other funds advanced by the Trust to the borrowing entity or
      the owners of the borrowing entity less: (i) interest payments paid to the
      Trust under the Insured Mortgage, (ii) Participating Income Interest and
      (iii) Additional Loan Interest payments made under the Additional Loan.

      The Insured Mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally cannot be
      prepaid for a term of five years from the construction completion date or
      final endorsement and thereafter may be prepaid in whole without penalty
      provided all participation interest and amounts under the Insured Mortgage
      are paid. Any prepayment requires not less than ninety nor more than 180
      days prior written notice.

      The Additional Loan generally may not be prepaid before the fifth
      anniversary of the Agreement or the construction completion date and
      thereafter may be prepaid in full without penalty provided Preferred
      Interest and any amounts due under the Insured Mortgage and subordinated
      promissory note are paid in full.

      On December 31, 2001, the Trust received a prepayment of the Red Run
      Additional Loan and subordinated promissory note. The Trust received
      $2,900,000 of Additional Loan principal, $238,369 of Shared Appreciation
      Interest, $3,506,952 of preferred interest and $67,667 of Base Interest on
      the Additional Loan. In addition, the Trust recognized $702,259 of
      Additional Loan interest that had been previously received and recorded in
      deferred income on additional loans.

      On July 23, 2001, the Trust received a prepayment of the Seasons
      Subordinated Promissory Note and the Seasons Additional Loan. The Trust
      received $1,924,649 of Additional Loan principal, $180,916 of surplus
      cash, $847,450 of preferred interest, $1,052,455 of contingent interest,
      $69,129 of Base Interest on the Additional Loan and $1,299,562 which
      represents the Trust's portion of the residual split. The Trust received
      $8,567,890 representing the principal proceeds on the first mortgage note
      on July 26, 2001. In addition, the Trust recognized $180,633 of Additional
      Loan interest that had been previously received and recorded in deferred
      income on additional loans. On August 17, 2001, the Advisor paid a special
      dividend of $0.93 per share from the proceeds of the Seasons PIMI
      prepayment.

      The payoff of the Seasons PIMI was a result of the sale of the underlying
      property by the borrower, Maryland Associates Limited Partnership
      ("MALP"), which is an affiliate of the Adviser, to an affiliate of MALP's
      general partner. Because the sale of the underlying property was to an
      affiliate, the Independent Trustees of the Trust were required to approve
      the transaction, which they did based upon a number of factors, including
      an appraisal of the underlying property prepared by an independent third
      party MAI appraiser. The purchase price paid by the affiliate for the
      underlying property was $1.6 million greater than the value indicated by
      such appraisal.

      During the third quarter of 1999, the Trust received a prepayment of the
      Audubon Villas PIMI including the Insured Mortgage with a remaining
      principal balance of $14,861,957, the Additional Loan of $2,691,000 and
      participation interest of $1,966,901. Also, $1,962,261 was recognized as
      Additional Loan interest income which was previously recorded as deferred
      income. On August 18, 1999, the Advisor declared a special dividend of
      $1.30 per share that was paid on September 17, 1999 from the payoff of the
      mortgage on the Audubon Villas PIMI.

      In June 1999, the Trust entered into a second modification agreement (the
      "Agreement") with the borrowers of the Mountain View Apartments PIMI
      reducing the interest rate on the Insured Mortgage by 1.25% per annum
      beginning January 1, 1999 and continuing through December 31, 2004 and
      changing the participation feature. The Agreement eliminated the Preferred
      Interest required under the Additional Loan and changed the Trust's
      participation in the Surplus Cash generated by the property. Under the
      Agreement, the Trust will receive 75% of the first $130,667 of Surplus
      Cash and 50% of any remaining Surplus Cash on an annual basis to pay the
      Additional Loan Interest. Unpaid Additional Loan Interest will accrue and
      be payable if there are sufficient proceeds from a sale or refinancing of
      the property except that $288,580 of existing accruals

      related to the Additional Loan had been forgiven. In addition, the
      borrower repaid $153,600 of the Additional Loan and funded approximately
      $54,000 to a reserve for property improvements. As a result of the factors
      described above, the Advisor determined that the Additional Loan
      collateralized by the Mountain View asset was impaired and has recorded
      and maintains a valuation allowance of $1,032,272.

      In May 1998, the borrower on the Lifestyles PIMI defaulted on its debt
      service payment on the insured first mortgage. The Trust agreed to a new
      workout that runs through 2007. Under its terms, the Trust agreed to
      reduce the effective interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.75%
      retroactively for 1998 to clear the default, by 1.75% for 1999, and by
      1.5% each year thereafter until the property is sold or refinanced. An
      affiliate of the Advisor refunds approximately .25% per annum to the Trust
      related to the interest reduction. The borrower made a $550,000 equity
      contribution, which was escrowed, for the exclusive purpose of correcting
      deferred maintenance and making capital improvements to the property. The
      escrow has been used up for paint, building repairs, parking lot repairs,
      a new fitness facility, clubhouse remodeling and landscaping. Any Surplus
      Cash that is generated by property operations will be split evenly between
      the Trust and the borrower. When the property is sold or refinanced, the
      first $1,100,000 of any proceeds remaining after the insured mortgage is
      paid off will be split 50% / 50% between the Trust and the borrower; the
      next $1,690,220 of proceeds will be split 75% to the Trust and 25% to the
      borrower; and any remaining proceeds will be split 50% / 50%. The
      borrower's new equity and the reduction in the effective interest rate on
      the insured first mortgage have provided funds for repairs and
      improvements that have helped reposition Lifestyles. As a result of the
      factors described above, the Trust determined that the Additional Loan
      collateralized by the Lifestyles asset was impaired, and recorded a
      valuation allowance of $1,130,346 in the fourth quarter of 1998. During
      2001, the Trust received $118,968 of surplus cash generated by property
      operations. The Trust recognized this receipt as a reduction of principal
      balance of the Additional Loan and related impairment provision. In
      addition, the Trust further determined that the valuation allowance should
      be reduced by an additional $344,839 based upon the current estimated fair
      value of the underlying property.

      At December 31, 2001 and 2000 there are no Insured Mortgage loans within

      (a)     The Trust entered into an Agreement which reduced the interest
              rate on the Insured Mortgage by 1.75% per annum effective January
              1, 1998 for a period of twenty-four months and by 1.5% per annum
              for 2000 though 2007. An affiliate of the Advisor refunds
              approximately .25% per annum to the Trust related to the interest
              reduction. The Trust will not receive any Additional Loan interest
              or Preferred Return due to the workout, but will receive a share
              of any cash generated from property operations and from proceeds
              of a sale or refinance.

      (b)     The Trust entered into an agreement which reduced the interest
              rate on the Insured Mortgage by 2.0% per annum for 1997 and by
              1.0% for 1998 through 2000. In addition, the Preferred Interest
              was reduced by 1% and Additional Loan Interest is payable from
              surplus cash.

      (c)     The Trust entered into a second modification agreement which
              reduced the interest rate on the Insured Mortgage by 1.25% per
              annum effective January 1, 1999 and continuing through December
              31, 2004. The Agreement eliminated the Preferred Interest required
              under the Additional Loan and changed the Trust's participation in
              the surplus cash generated by the property. Furthermore, debt
              service relief provided by the first modification was forgiven.

      (d)     The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $50,811,558.

      (e)     The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $5,688,959.

Impaired Additional Loans

The Advisor of the Trust has determined that the Lifestyles Additional Loan is
impaired. As a result, during 1998, a valuation allowance of $1,130,346 was
established to adjust the carrying amount of the loan to the estimated fair
market value of the collateral less anticipated costs of sale. During 2001, the
Trust received $118,968 of interest on the Additional Loan which was reflected
as a reduction of the carrying amount of the loan and the valuation allowance.
In addition in the fourth quarter of 2001, the Trust further reduced the
valuation allowance by $344,839 to $666,539 based upon the current estimated
fair value of the underlying property. The Trust will continue to reflect
interest receipts as reductions to the carrying amount of the loan and the
valuation allowance until the valuation allowance is zero. The Trust did not
receive any interest payments on the Lifestyles Additional Loan during 2000 or
1999 and did not recognize any interest income during 2001, 2000 or 1999.

The Advisor of the Trust has determined that the Mountain View Additional Loan
is impaired. As a result, during 1998, a valuation allowance of $984,000 was
established to adjust the carrying amount of the loan to the then estimated fair
market value of the collateral less anticipated costs of sale. During 1999, the
Trust increased the valuation allowance of Mountain View

D.    PIMs

      The Trust had investments in five PIMs at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The
      Trust's PIMs consist of a GNMA or Fannie Mae MBS or a sole participation
      interest in a HUD-insured first mortgage loan originated under the FHA
      lending program (collectively the "Insured Mortgages"), and participation
      interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of the underlying
      property above specified base levels. The borrower conveys these
      participation features to the Trust generally through a subordinated
      promissory note and mortgage (the "Agreement").

      The Trust receives guaranteed level monthly payments of principal and
      interest, amortized over thirty to forty years. The GNMA and Fannie Mae
      MBS are guaranteed by GNMA and Fannie Mae and HUD insures the mortgage
      loan underlying the GNMA MBS and the FHA mortgage loan. The borrower
      usually cannot prepay the insured mortgage during the first five years but
      may prepay it thereafter subject to a 9% prepayment penalty in years six
      through nine, a 1% prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment
      penalty thereafter. The Trust may receive income related to its
      participation interests in the underlying property, however, these amounts
      are neither insured nor guaranteed.

      Generally, the participation features consist of the following: (i)
      "Minimum Additional Interest" at rates ranging from .5% to .75% per annum
      calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the Insured Mortgage on the
      underlying property, (ii) "Shared Income Interest" ranging from 25% to 30%
      of the monthly gross rental income generated by the underlying property in
      excess of a specified base, but only to the extent that it exceeds the
      amount of Minimum Additional Interest received during such month, and
      (iii) "Shared Appreciation Interest" ranging from 25% to 30% of any
      increase in value of the underlying property in excess of a specified
      threshold.

      Payment of participation interest from the operations of the property is
      limited to 50% of net revenue or Surplus Cash as defined by Fannie Mae or
      HUD, respectively. Payment of participation interest at the time of the
      prepayment of the PIM or upon its maturity generally cannot exceed 50% of
      any increase in value of the underlying property.

      Shared Appreciation Interest is payable when one of the following occurs:
      (1) the sale of the underlying property to an unrelated third party on a
      date which is later than five years from the date of the Agreement, (2)
      the maturity date or accelerated maturity date of the Agreement, or (3)
      prepayment of amounts due under the Agreement and the Insured Mortgage.

      Under the Agreement, the Trust, upon giving twelve months written notice,
      can accelerate the maturity date of the Agreement to a date not earlier
      than ten years from the date of the Agreement for (a) the payment of all
      participation interest due under the Agreement as of the accelerated
      maturity date, or (b) the payment of all participation interest due under
      the Agreement plus all amounts due on the first mortgage note on the
      property.

      At December 31, 2001 and 2000 there are no Insured Mortgage loans within
      the Trust's portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.

F.   Shareholders' Equity

     Under the Declaration of Trust and commencing with the initial closing of
     the public offering of shares, the Trust has declared and paid dividends on
     a quarterly basis. During the period in which the Trust qualifies as a
     REIT, the Trust has and will pay quarterly dividends aggregating at least
     95% of taxable income on an annual basis to be allocated to the
     shareholders in proportion to their respective number of shares.

     In order for the Trust to maintain its REIT status with respect to the
     requirements of Share ownership, the Declaration of Trust prohibits any
     investor from owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the
     outstanding Shares and empowers the Trustees to refuse to permit any
     transfer of Shares which, in their opinion, would jeopardize the status of
     the Trust as a REIT.

G.   Related Party Transactions

     Under the terms of the Advisory Service Agreement, the Advisor receives an
     Asset Management Fee equal to .75% per annum of the value of the Trust's
     actual and committed invested assets payable quarterly.

     The Trust also reimburses affiliates of the Advisor for certain costs
     incurred in connection with maintaining the books and records of the Trust,
     the preparation and mailing of financial reports, tax information and other
     communications to investors and legal fees and expenses. Included in the
     general and administrative expenses are legal fees and expenses paid by the
     Trust to an affiliate of $12,033, $3,305 and $1,285, for the years ended
     December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     During the three years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Trust
     received interest collections on Additional Loans with affiliates of the
     Advisor of the Trust of $155,738, $173,544 and $225,156, respectively. In
     addition, the Trust received $3,431,133 in 2001, $174,505 in 2000 and
     $153,499 in 1999 related to Participating Interest Income.

     As discussed in Note C, the Trust received a prepayment of the Seasons PIMI
     as a result of a sale of the property to an affiliate.

H.   Original Shares

     Upon termination of the Trust, an affiliate of the Advisor is committed to
     pay to holders of Original Shares the amount (if any) by which (a) the
     Shareholders' Original Investments exceed (b) all Dividends (as defined in
     the prospectus) paid by the Trust with respect to such Original Shares.
     Original Shares are those Shares purchased during the Trust's initial
     public offering either through purchase or through the dividend
     reinvestment program and held until the last mortgage held by the Trust is
     repaid or disposed of.

     The Trust paid dividends of $1.61 per share during 2001 which represents
     approximately $0.91 from ordinary income and $0.70 represents a non-taxable
     distribution for federal income tax purposes.

     The basis of the Trust's assets for financial reporting purposes is less
     than its tax basis by approximately $7,021,000 and $8,209,000 at December
     31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The basis of the Trust's liabilities for
     financial reporting purposes exceeded its tax basis by approximately
     $2,314,000 and $3,550,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

J.   Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

     The Trust uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair
     value of each class of financial instruments:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
     of those instruments.

     MBS

     The Trust estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted market prices
     while it estimates the fair value of insured mortgages based on quoted
     prices of MBS with similar interest rates. Based on the estimated fair
     value determined using these methods and assumptions the Trust's
     investments in MBS had gross unrealized gains of approximately $906,000 at
     December 31, 2001 and gross unrealized gains and losses of approximately
     $646,000 and $1,000 at December 31, 2000.

     PIMs and PIMIs

     There is no active trading market for these investments. Accordingly,
     management estimates the fair value of the PIMs and the insured mortgage
     portion of the PIMIs using quoted market prices of MBS having the same
     stated coupon rate as the Insured Mortgages. Additional Loans are based on
     the estimated fair value of the underlying properties as an estimate of the
     fair value of the loan is not practicable. Management does not include any
     participation income in the Trust's estimated fair values, as Management
     does not believe it can predict the time of realization of the feature with
     any certainty. Based on the estimated fair value determined using these
     methods and assumptions, the Trust's investments in PIMs and PIMIs had
     gross unrealized gains of approximately $2,403,000 at December 31, 2001 and
     gross unrealized gains and losses of approximately $343,000 and $1,738,000,
     respectively at December 31, 2000.

         (a)    Distributable Cash Flow consists of income before provision for
                impaired mortgage loans, amortization of prepaid fees and
                expenses and organization costs and includes deferred interest
                on Additional Loans. The Trust believes Distributable Cash Flow
                is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance,
                however, it should not be considered as a substitute for net
                income as an indication of operating performance or cash flows
                as a measure of liquidity.

         (b)    Represents all dividends paid in 2001 except the February 2001
                dividend and includes an estimate of the February 2002 dividend
                and the $1.68 special dividend for Red Run paid in January 2002.

         (c)    Includes an estimate of the February 2002 dividend and the $1.68
                special dividend for Red Run paid in January 2002.

         (d)    Shareholders average per Share return of capital on a cash basis
                as of February 2002 is $10.54 [$21.87 - $11.33].

                Return of capital represents that portion of the dividends which
                is not funded from DCF such as principal collections received
                from MBS and PIMs.
