AMERICAN INSURED MORTGAGE INVESTORS L.P. - SERIES 88

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

American Insured Mortgage Investors L.P. - Series 88 (the "Partnership")
was formed under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware on
February 13, 1987. The Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") states
that the Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2021, unless terminated
earlier under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

CRIIMI, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CRIIMI
MAE Inc. ("CRIIMI MAE"), holds a partnership interest of 4.9%. AIM Acquisition
Partners, L.P. (the "Advisor") serves as the advisor to the Partnership pursuant
to certain advisory agreements (collectively, the "Advisory Agreements") between
the Advisor and the Partnership. The general partner of the Advisor is AIM
Acquisition Corporation and the limited partners include, but are not limited
to, The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P., Sun America Investments, Inc. (successor to
Broad, Inc.) and CRI/AIM Investment, L.P., an affiliate of CRIIMI MAE. AIM
Acquisition is a Delaware corporation that is primarily owned by Sun America
Investments, Inc. and The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisor renders services to the
Partnership, including but not limited to, the management and disposition of the
Partnership's portfolio of mortgages. Such services are subject to the review
and ultimate authority of the General Partner. However, the General Partner is
required to receive the consent of the Advisor prior to taking certain
significant actions, including but not limited to the disposition of mortgages,
any transaction or agreement with the General Partner or its affiliates, or any
material change as to policies regarding distributions or reserves of the
Partnership. The Advisor is permitted to delegate the performance of services
pursuant to a submanagement agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"). The
delegation of such services does not relieve the Advisor of its obligation to
perform such services. CRIIMI MAE Services Limited Partnership ("CMSLP"), an
affiliate of CRIIMI MAE, manages the Partnership's portfolio, pursuant to the
Sub-Advisory Agreement. The general partner of CMSLP is CMSLP Management
Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CRIIMI MAE.

The Partnership's investment in mortgages consists of participation
certificates evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial interest in government
insured multifamily mortgages issued or sold pursuant to Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") programs ("FHA-Insured Certificates"), mortgage-backed
securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA")
("GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities") and FHA-insured mortgage loans ("FHA-Insured
Loans" and together with FHA-Insured Certificates and GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities, referred to herein as "Insured Mortgages"). The mortgages underlying
the FHA-Insured Certificates, GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities and FHA-Insured
Loans, insured in whole or in part by the federal government, are non-recourse
first liens on multifamily residential developments or retirement homes. As
discussed in Note 3, one of the FHA-Insured Certificates is secured by a
coinsured mortgage.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of September 30,
2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of its operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and its cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. While the General Partner believes that
the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading,
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes to the financial statements included in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

4. INVESTMENT IN FHA-INSURED LOAN

Listed below is the Partnership's aggregate investment in its fully insured

September 30, 2002 December 31, 2001

Fair Value 5,536,375 5,230,714


As of November 1, 2002, the Partnership's FHA-Insured Loan was current with
respect to the payment of principal and interest.


5. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

In order to capitalize IFI with sufficient net worth under regulations of
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), in April
1994, the Partnership transferred a GNMA Mortgage-Backed Security in the face
amount of approximately $2.0 million (the "GNMA Security") to IFI. As of
September 30, 2002, this GNMA Security had a face value of approximately $1.8
million and a fair value of approximately $1.9 million and as of December 31,
2001, this GNMA Security had a face value and a fair value of approximately $1.8
million. The Partnership's interest in this security is included on the balance
sheet in Investment in affiliate. The Partnership, along with two affiliates,
American Insured Mortgage Investors - Series 85, L.P. ("AIM 85") and American
Insured Mortgage Investors L.P. - Series 86 ("AIM 86"), equally own AIM
Mortgage, Inc. In turn, AIM Mortgage, Inc., owns all of the outstanding
preferred and common stock of IFI.

As part of the Partnership's transfer of the GNMA Security to IFI, the
Partnership is reimbursed for expenses related to IFI, pursuant to an expense
reimbursement agreement, as amended on January 1, 2001. The Partnership's
expense reimbursement and the Partnership's equity interest in IFI's net income
or loss substantially equals the mortgage interest on the GNMA Security
transferred to IFI. The Partnership received expense reimbursements of
approximately $33,000 and $99,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2002, respectively, and approximately $33,000 and $100,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, which are netted against
general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of income and
comprehensive income.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS

The distributions paid or accrued to Unitholders on a per Unit basis for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

2002 2001
-------- --------

Quarter ended March 31 $ 0.355(1) $ 1.010(3)
Quarter ended June 30 0.090 0.105
Quarter ended September 30 0.655(2) 0.305(4)
-------- --------
$ 1.100 $ 1.420
======== ========

(1) This amount includes approximately $0.26 per Unit representing net proceeds
from the prepayment of the following mortgages: Orchard Creek Apartments of
$0.14 and Westview Terrace Apartments of $0.12.
(2) This amount includes approximately $0.565 per Unit representing net
proceeds from the prepayment of the mortgage on Stoney Creek.
(3) This amount includes approximately $0.90 per Unit of net proceeds from the
disposition of the following mortgages: Silver Lake Apartments of $0.56 per
Unit, Holton Manor of $0.10 per Unit and St. Charles Place - Phase II of
$0.24 per Unit.
(4) This amount includes approximately $0.20 per Unit return of capital and
gain from the disposition of the following mortgages: Water's Edge of New
Jersey of $0.09 and Lorenzo Carolina Apartments of $0.11.


The basis for paying distributions to Unitholders is net proceeds from
mortgage dispositions, if any, and cash flow from operations, which includes
regular interest income and principal from Insured Mortgages. Although the
Insured Mortgages pay a fixed monthly mortgage payment, the cash distributions
paid to the Unitholders will vary during each quarter due to (1) the fluctuating
yields in the short-term money market where the monthly mortgage payments
received are temporarily invested prior to the payment of quarterly
distributions, (2) the reduction in the asset base and monthly mortgage payments
due to monthly mortgage payments received or mortgage dispositions, (3)
variations in the cash flow attributable to the delinquency or default of
Insured Mortgages and professional fees and foreclosure costs incurred in
connection with those Insured Mortgages and (4) variations in the Partnership's
operating expenses. As the Partnership continues to liquidate its mortgage
investments and Unitholders receive distributions of return of capital and
taxable gains, Unitholders should expect a reduction in earnings and
distributions due to the decreasing mortgage base.

General
- -------

As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership had invested in 12 fully Insured
Mortgages and one co-insured mortgage with an aggregate amortized cost of
approximately $38.5 million, a face value of approximately $39.7 million and a
fair value of approximately $40.2 million.

As of November 1, 2002, all of the FHA-Insured Certificates, GNMA
Mortgage-Backed Securities and FHA-Insured Loans were current with respect to
the payment of principal and interest.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net earnings decreased by approximately $306,000 and $1.1 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in gains on mortgage
dispositions, mortgage investment income and interest and other income, as
discussed below. The decreases were also impacted by an adjustment to provision
for loss that was recognized in 2001.

Mortgage investment income decreased by approximately $172,000 and $514,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to a reduction in
the mortgage base. The mortgage base decreased as a result of five mortgage
dispositions with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $7.5 million,
representing an approximate 14% decrease in the aggregate principal balance of
the total mortgage portfolio since July 2001, as compared to September 2002.

Interest and other income decreased by approximately $4,000 and $142,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to the amounts and
timing of temporary investment of mortgage disposition proceeds prior to
distribution to Unitholders.

Asset management fee to related parties decreased by approximately $19,000
and $65,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2001, due to the
reduction in the mortgage base, as discussed previously.

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $20,000 and
$51,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in
legal expenses related to the litigation of the mortgage on Water's Edge of New
Jersey, which was settled in 2001.

Gains on mortgage dispositions decreased by approximately $1,000 and
$860,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to
the corresponding period in 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, the
Partnership recognized aggregate gains of approximately $123,000 from the
prepayment of the mortgages on Orchard Creek Apartments, Westview Terrace
Apartments and Stoney Creek. During the first nine months of 2001, the
Partnership recognized aggregate gains of approximately $161,000 from the
prepayment of the mortgages on Silver Lake Plaza Apartments, Holton Manor and
Lorenzo Carolina Apartments. In addition, during the first nine months of 2001,
the Partnership recognized a gain of approximately $822,000 on the disposition
of the mortgage on St. Charles Place - Phase II, a delinquent mortgage coinsured
by a third party.

During the first nine months of 2001, the Partnership recognized a loss of
approximately $308,000 on the disposition of the mortgage on Water's Edge of New
Jersey. The loss decreased by approximately $167,000 from the second quarter
2001 due to the final settlement reached in the third quarter of 2001. During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership recognized
no losses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership's operating cash receipts, derived from payments of
principal and interest on Insured Mortgages, plus cash receipts from interest on
short-term investments are the Partnership's principal sources of cash flows and
were sufficient during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to meet
operating requirements. The basis for paying distributions to Unitholders is net
proceeds from mortgage dispositions, if any, and cash flow from operations,
which includes regular interest income and principal received from Insured
Mortgages. Although the Insured Mortgages pay a fixed monthly mortgage payment,
the cash distributions paid to the Unitholders will vary during each quarter due
to (1) the fluctuating yields in the short-term money market where the monthly
mortgage payments received are temporarily invested prior to the payment of
quarterly distributions, (2) the reduction in the asset base and monthly
mortgage payments due to monthly mortgage payments received or mortgage
dispositions, (3) variations in the cash flow attributable to the delinquency or
default of insured mortgages and professional fees and foreclosure costs
incurred in connection with those insured mortgages and (4) variations in the
Partnership's operating expenses. As the Partnership continues to liquidate its
mortgage investments and Unitholders receive distributions of return of capital
and taxable gains, Unitholders should expect a reduction in earnings and
distributions due to the decreasing mortgage base.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately
$180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the
corresponding period in 2001, primarily due to the decrease in mortgage
investment income and interest and other income, as previously discussed. The
2001 cash flows from operations were reduced by the payment of legal expenses
related to the Water's Edge of New Jersey litigation in the third quarter 2001
and an increase in receivables and other assets primarily due to the timing of
the receipt of proceeds due from a delinquent mortgage in 2001.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by approximately $2.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the
corresponding period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from
mortgage dispositions.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by approximately $8.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the
corresponding period in 2001, due to a decrease in the amount of distributions
paid to partners during the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the same
period in 2001.


ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Partnership's principal market risk is exposure to changes in interest
rates in the U.S. Treasury market. The Partnership will experience fluctuations
in the market value of its assets related to (i) changes in the interest rates
of U.S. Treasury securities, (ii) changes in the spread between the interest
rates on U.S. Treasury securities and the interest rates on the Partnership's
Insured Mortgages, and (iii) changes in the weighted average life of the Insured
Mortgages, determined by reviewing the attributes of the Insured Mortgages in
relation to the current market interest rates. The weighted average life of the
Insured Mortgages decreased as of September 30, 2002 compared to December 31,
2001, due to the lower market interest rates, which may imply faster prepayment
rates, and other attributes of the Partnership's Insured Mortgages.

The General Partner has determined that there has not been a material
change as of September 30, 2002, in market risk from December 31, 2001 as
reported in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of filing this Quarterly Report on form
10-Q, the General Partner carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the General Partner's management, including the
Chairman of the Board (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation,
the General Partner's CEO and CFO concluded that its disclosure controls and
procedures are effective and timely in alerting them to material information
relating to the Partnership required to be included in the Partnership's
periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in the General Partner's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
