PART I


Item 1. Business.

General

Capital Mortgage Plus L.P. (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 23, 1988.
The sole general partner of the Registrant is CIP Associates, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "General Partner"). The General Partner manages and controls
the affairs of the Registrant. See Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of
the Registrant, below.

On May 10, 1989 the Registrant commenced a public offering (the "Offering")
representing assignments of Beneficial Assignment Certificates of limited
partnership interests ("BACs"), managed by IDS Financial Services Inc. (the
"Dealer Manager"), a subsidiary of IDS Financial Corporation, pursuant to a
prospectus dated May 10, 1989, as supplemented (the "Prospectus").

Pursuant to the Offering, the Registrant received $36,733,200 of Gross
Proceeds from 3,545 investors, resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$32,031,000 available for investment, after payment of sales commissions,
offering and organization expenses, loan origination fees and establishment of a
working capital reserve. The final closing of the Offering occurred on May 23,
1991 and no further issuance of BACs is anticipated. See also Item 5, Market for
the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder Matters.

The Registrant's principal investment objectives are to: (i) preserve and
protect the Registrant's capital; (ii) provide quarterly cash distributions of
adjusted cash from operations; and (iii) provide additional distributions from
additional interest arising from participations in the annual cash flow of the
developments and/or the sale or refinancing of a development. Due to the
depressed state of the real estate market in recent years, there can be no
assurance that all of the objectives can be achieved. Although there have been
some payments of additional interest, they have not yet been sufficient to
increase distributions.

The Registrant has originated federally insured and co-insured first
mortgage construction and permanent loans ("Mortgages") to finance multi-family
residential rental properties ("Developments") developed by unaffiliated
entities. All base interest and initially at least 90% in the aggregate of the
principal of the Mortgages in which the Registrant invests are insured or
coinsured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and Related
Mortgage Corporation ("RMC"), an affliate of the General Partner. The remaining
10% of the Registrant's portfolio is comprised of uninsured non-interest bearing
equity loans made directly to the same developers as the Mortgages for, among
other purposes, defrayal of certain specific cash requirements of the
properties. The Registrant has made five mortgage loans in the aggregate amount
of $26,158,190 and five non-interest bearing equity loans in the aggregate
amount of $3,062,135 in connection with five multi-family projects. The balance
of the Gross Proceeds, $2,810,675, was temporarily invested and is being
utilized as a working capital reserve.

The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of investing in Mortgages
and equity loans; therefore,

The following table lists the mortgage loans and equity loans which the
Registrant holds as of March 3, 1997:

============ =============


(1) The minimum interest rate shown above includes interest payable under
the first mortgage note plus additional interest payable pursuant to the terms
of a Limited Operating Guaranty agreement for Fieldcrest III Apartments
("Fieldcrest") and the Additional Interest Guaranty agreements for Mortenson
Manor Apartments ("Mortenson"), Windemere Apartments ("Windemere"), Holly Ridge
II Apartments ("Holly Ridge") and Willow Trace Apartments ("Willow Trace").

(2) The Mortenson and Windemere mortgage loans are co-insured by HUD and
RMC. The Fieldcrest, Holly Ridge and Willow Trace mortgage loans are fully
insured by HUD. As of March 9, 1997, all loan amounts have been disbursed.

(3) Cost certification on Mortenson occurred in November 1991 and
amortization of the loan began during September 1991. The property was 100%
occupied as of March 9, 1997. The property achieved Final Endorsement during
February 1992. The Registrant has received approximately $168,400 as of December
31, 1996 from Mortenson representing partial repayment of the mortgage loan.
Default Interest payments of approximately $85,000, $98,000, $119,000 and
$165,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, have not been received and, as a result, an allowance for
uncollectability amounted to approximately $442,000 and $285,000 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The operations of Mortenson have not been able to
support the payment of the required interest. Accordingly, effective January 1,
1995 the Registrant entered into a modification agreement whereby the annual
yield was modified to a cumulative yield of 9.4% per annum from the Permanent
Loan Date and the Default Rate was redefined as 8.43% per annum. The
modification agreement also provided that pre-1995 accrued interest shall not
accrue further interest on and after January 1, 1995, and shall be paid solely
out of Capital Proceeds prior to the calculation of participation percentages.
Mortenson also agreed to defer the management fee payable up to the Default
Rate. Since the Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Period expired, pursuant to its terms,
payment of interest in excess of 8.43% is contingent upon the amount of the
distributable cash, which is dependent upon the future results of operations, or
net proceeds of the capital transactions of the mortgagor. In addition to the
interest rate during the post-construction period, the Registrant will be
entitled to 30% of cash flow remaining after payment of 9.4% interest and
accrued


-3-


interest, if any, and certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. During
the first quarter of 1997, the Registrant received a Default Interest Payment
of approximately $25,000, representing partial payment for 1996.

(4) Cost certification on Windemere occurred in June 1992 and amortization
of the loan began the same month. The property was 95% occupied as of March 9,
1997. Windemere achieved Final Endorsement during July 1992. The Registrant has
received approximately $153,000 as of December 31, 1996 from Windemere
representing partial repayment of the mortgage loan. The interest rate during
the Guaranteed Rate Guaranty period was 10.64%. Since the Guaranteed Rate
Guaranty Period expired at the end of August 1993, payment of interest in excess
of 9.55% is contingent upon the amount of the distributable cash, which is
dependent upon the future results of operations, or net proceeds of capital
transactions of the mortgagor. A Default Interest payment of approximately
$130,000 for the period January 1996 to December 1996 expected to be received
during the second quarter of 1997. In addition to the interest rate during the
post-construction period, the Registrant will be entitled to 30% of cash flow
remaining after payment of 10.64% interest and accrued interest, if any, and
certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds.

(5) Cost certification on Fieldcrest occurred in August 1992. The property
was 95% occupied as of March 9, 1997. Final endorsement was achieved during
November 1992 and amortization of the loan began the same month. The Registrant
has received approximately $49,400 as of December 31, 1996 from Fieldcrest
representing partial repayment of the mortgage loan. The mortgage loan has a
term of 40 years and bears interest at a rate ranging from 8.75% to 10.11%
during the post-construction period of which 8.75% is insured by HUD. The
interest rate during the Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Period is 10.11%. The
Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Period terminated in November 1995. As a result, any
amount of the Default Rate of 8.75% is contingent on the property's ability to
produce cash flow in excess of this amount. A Default Interest payment of
approximately $2,300 for the period January 1996 to December 1996 is expected to
be received during the second quarter of 1997. In addition to the interest rate
during the post-construction period, the Registrant will be entitled to receive
payment of 30% of cash flow remaining after payment of 10.11% interest and
accrued interest, if any, and certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds.

(6) Cost certification on Holly Ridge occurred in July 1994 and
amortization of the loan began during September 1994. The property was 97%
occupied as of March 9, 1997. The fully insured 221(d)(4) mortgage loan is for
$5,310,100. In connection with this loan, $5,994,500 was advanced to the
borrower as of December 31, 1995, of which $684,400 represented the equity loan.
The Registrant has received approximately $43,500 as of December 31, 1996 from
Holly Ridge representing partial repayment of the mortgage loan. The mortgage
loan has a term of 40 years and bore interest at 10.25% during the construction
period and bears interest at 8.25% to 9.89% during the post-construction period
of which 8.25% is insured by HUD. In addition to the interest rate during the
post-construction period, the Registrant will be entitled to 30% of cash flow
remaining after payment of 9.89% interest and accrued interest, if any, and
certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. Payments at the rate of 9.89%
are guaranteed by the developer for three years after September 1, 1994. A
Guaranteed Interest payment of approximately $22,000 for the period October 1996
to December 1996 is expected to be received during the second quarter of 1997.

(7) On June 18, 1993, the Registrant closed the investment in Willow Trace,
a 152 unit project, which had completed construction, located in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. The property was 95% occupied as of March 9, 1997. The 223(f) mortgage
loan in the amount of $4,420,000 is fully insured by HUD. The Registrant
provided an additional $680,000 as a non-interest bearing equity loan to the
developer. The Registrant has received approximately $83,100 as of December 31,
1996 from Willow Trace representing partial repayment of the mortgage loan. The
mortgage loan has a term of 35 years and bears interest at 8.37% to 9.65% during
the permanent period of which 8.37% is insured by HUD. In addition to the
interest rate during the permanent period, the Registrant is entitled to 30% of
cash flow remaining after payment of 9.657% interest and accrued interest, if
any, and certain amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds. A Default Interest
payment of approximately $19,000 for the period September 1996 to December
1996 is expected to be received during the first quarter of 1997. In addition,
the Registrant expects to receive approximately $15,000 during March 1997,
representing 30% of cash flow after payment of Default Interest. Payments at
the rate of 9.657% are guaranteed by the developer for three years
after June 18, 1993.

(8) All loans have call provisions effective ten years following final
endorsement and a grace period. The Registrant, in order to enforce such
provisions, would be required to terminate the mortgage insurance contract with
FHA (and/or the coinsurer) not later than the accelerated payment date. Since
the exercise of such option would be at the Registrant's discretion, it is
intended to be exercised only where the Registrant determines that the value of
the Development has increased by an amount which would justify accelerating
payment in full and assuming the risks of foreclosure if the mortgagor failed to
make the accelerated payment. The Registrant presently expects to dispose of
such loans within 10 to 15 years after acquisition.

(9) Construction has been completed on all properties.

(10) Equity loans are non-interest bearing.

Following is the interest income from mortgage loans as a percentage of
total revenues.

Competition

The Registrant'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. In particular, the
receipt of additional interest and the repayment of the equity loans, neither of
which is insured or guaranteed by government or quasi-government agencies, is
dependent upon the economic performance of the underlying properties which could
be adversely affected by competitive conditions.

Employees

The Registrant does not directly employ anyone. All services are performed
for the Registrant by its General Partner and its affiliates. The General
Partner receives compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Registrant reimburses the General Partner and
certain of its affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with the
performance by their employees of services for the Registrant in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement.

Item 2. Properties.

The Registrant does not own or lease any property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There are no material legal proceedings pending against or
involving the Registrant.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal
year covered by this report through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

-5-


PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.

As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant had issued and outstanding
1,836,660 limited partnership interests ("Limited Partnership Interests"), each
representing a $20 capital contribution to the Registrant, for aggregate gross
proceeds of $36,733,200. All of the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership
Interests have been issued to Related FI BUC$ Associates, Inc. (the "Assignor
Limited Partner"), which has issued Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs"),
each BAC representing all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership
rights attributable to a Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor
Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no
cost to the holder, but Limited Partnership Interests are not convertible back
into BACs. There is currently no established public trading market for BACs and
it is not anticipated that BACs will be listed for trading on any securities
exchange or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market.

All of the Registrant's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $1,000, are held by the General Partner.

There are no material legal restrictions upon the Registrant's present or
future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. The
Registrant currently expects that cash distributions will be paid in the future
from revenues from operations, reserves and the accrual without payment of fees
and certain expense reimbursements, however, distributions may decrease after
the expiration of the remaining Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Periods which are
outstanding for two of the Registrant's investments. See also Item 7 -
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Item 1, Business.


Distribution Information

Cash distributions per BAC made to the limited partners or BACs holders for
the following quarters in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:



1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------

1996 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529
1995 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529
1994 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529


Quarterly distributions are made 45 days following the close of the
calendar quarter.

A total of $7,713,992 was distributed to the limited partners or BACs
holders in 1996, 1995 and 1994. The Registrant utilized the original working
capital reserve, in the aggregate amount of $477,532, for distributions from
1989 through 1991, which is considered to be a return of capital. An additional
working capital reserve of approximately $2,800,000 was formed from uninvested
offering proceeds, a portion of which was applied to pay a part of the 1996,
1995 and 1994 distributions (which is considered to be a return of capital).
Approximately $897,000, $669,000 and $932,000 of the $2,571,000 paid to the
limited partners or BACs holders in each of the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, represented a return of capital on a generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis (the return of capital on a GAAP
basis is calculated as BACs holder distributions less net income allocated to
the limited partners or BACs holders). A total of $157,429 was distributed to
the General Partner in 1996, 1995 and 1994.

-6-


Since Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Period Interest or contingent interest, when
such period has expired, on some of the mortgage loans is paid semi-annually, a
portion of the 1996 fourth quarter distribution (of which approximately $648,000
and $13,000 was paid to BACs holders and the General Partner, respectively) has
been funded from cash provided from earnings during the period from January 1,
1997 through the distribution date, February 14, 1997. See Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a
discussion of the effect of fee deferments and the expiration of the Guaranteed
Rate Guaranty Period on the distributions.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Registrant received $36,733,200 in gross proceeds for BACs pursuant to
twenty-one investor closings during the period July 28, 1989 through May 23,
1991, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $32,031,000 available for
investment, after payment of sales commissions, offering and organization
expenses, loan origination fees and establishment of a working capital reserve.
As of December 31, 1996, $29,220,325 of the net proceeds available for
investment have been disbursed. The remaining proceeds of the Offering of
approximately $2,800,000 were temporarily invested and are being utilized as a
working capital reserve. No further issuance of BACs is anticipated.

Other sources of Registrant funds included interest earned on (1)
investments in mortgage loans (see also Item 1, Business), (2) net offering
proceeds which were invested pending investment of mortgage loans and (3) the
working capital reserve.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents of the
Registrant decreased by approximately $651,000. Cash provided by operating
activities and collections of principal on mortgage loans were approximately
$1,839,000 and $134,000, respectively, and distributions paid to partners
approximated $2,624,000. Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net income
to cash flow from operations is amortization of approximately $280,000 and
provision for bad debts of approximately $157,000.

In addition, the General Partner has allowed the accrual without payment of
the partnership management fee through 1992 in an aggregate amount equal to
approximately $268,000. Since 1992, substantially all partnership management
fees and expense reimbursements have been paid. See Note 4-Related Parties, in
Notes to Financial Statements, included in Item 8 below. In future years, a
portion of the working capital reserve may be used to pay accrued and unpaid
fees and/or distributions in the event that cash generated from operations is
not sufficient to maintain current distribution levels and repay such fees.
Distributions in 1996 and prior years have been supplemented by a portion of
working capital reserves.

The Registrant anticipates that cash generated from operations and invested
in temporary investments, including the working capital reserve, will be
sufficient to cover anticipated expenses in 1997.

Distributions of approximately $2,571,000 made to the limited partners or
BACs holders for each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were made
from adjusted cash flow from operations and, to a lesser extent, from working
capital reserves, which is considered to be a return of capital. A total of
approximately $52,000 was distributed to the General Partner for each of the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

The level of future distributions will depend on results of operations.
Furthermore, the expiration of the Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Periods, two of
which expired in 1993, one of which expired in 1995, one of which expired in
1996, and one of which will expire during 1997 (see Item 1, Business) may have
an adverse affect on future distributions if contingent interest is not realized
on the mortgage loans.

Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or
uncertainties that will impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes
the only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. All base
interest and the principal of the Registrant's investments in mortgage loans are
insured or co-insured by HUD and a private mortgage lender (which is an
affiliate of the General Partner). The Registrant's investments in uninsured
non-interest bearing equity loans (which represent approximately 10% of the
Registrant's portfolio) are secured by a Registrant interest in properties which
are diversified by location so that if one area of the counrty is experiencing
downturns in the economy, the remaining properties may be experiencing upswings.
However, the geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against
a general downturn in the national economy.

Results of Operations

1996 vs. 1995

Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
consisted primarily of interest income of approximately $2,423,000 and
$2,449,000, respectively, earned from investments in mortgage loans.

Interest income from mortgage loans remained fairly constant for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995. Interest income from temporary
investments decreased approximately $25,000 for 1996 as compared to 1995
primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents balances.

General and administrative expenses-related parties increased approximately
$25,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due
to higher expense reimbursements to the General Partner in 1996 as well as an
underaccrual of such reimbursements at December 31, 1995.

A provision for bad debts of approximately $157,000 was charged for the
year ending December 31, 1996 representing the 1996 and 1995 Guaranteed Interest
due from Mortenson.

1995 vs. 1994

Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
consisted primarily of interest income of approximately $2,449,000 and
$2,477,000, respectively, earned from investments in mortgage loans.

Interest income from mortgage loans remained fairly constant for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. Interest income from temporary
investments increased approximately $7,000 for 1995 primarily due to higher
interest rates.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $26,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. This was mainly due to an
overaccrual of legal expenses at December 31, 1993, which was reversed in the
fourth quarter of 1994. General and administrative expenses-related parties
decreased approximately $29,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to 1994 primarily due to lower expense reimbursements to the General Partner in
1995.

There was no additional provision for bad debts charged for the year ended
December 31, 1995 due to the modification agreement with the guarantors of the
Mortenson mortgage.

On January 1, 1996, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". This standard requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

On January 1, 1996, the Registrant adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights". This standard eliminates the distinction between
rights to service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan
origination activities and those acquired through purchase transactions.

The adoption of these standards has not materially affected the
Registrant's reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows, because this
is essentially the same method utilized previously to measure and record asset
impairments or to record mortgage servicing rights.

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities" and in December, 1996 issued


-9-


SFAS No. 127 "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No.
125. SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on
consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on
control. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and
is to be applied prospectively and earlier or retroactive application is not
permitted. SFAS No. 127, defers the effective date of SFAS No. 125 for certain
transactions to be after December 31, 1997 for the transfers of certain
financial assets and certain other transactions and established all transfers of
financial assets into two broad categories.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share" and SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about
Capital Structure". SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards for
the amount of earnings per share. SFAS No. 129 requires the disclosure in
summary form within the financial statements the pertinent rights and privileges
of the various securities outstanding. SFAS No. 128 and SFAS No. 129 are
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997 and earlier
application is not permitted.

The implementation of these standards is not expected to materially affect
the Registrant's financial statements because retroactive application is not
permitted relating to its servicing of financial assets and the Registrant is
essentially utilizing the same method for the reporting of transfers and
extinguishments of liabilities, and the Registrant's earnings per share (BAC)
would not be significantly affected and the disclosures regarding the capital
structure in the financial statements would not be significantly changed.

1996 and 1995 and the related statements of income, changes in partners'
capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the General
Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

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 the
General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement

CAPITAL MORTGAGE PLUS L.P.
(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994



NOTE 1 - General

Capital Mortgage Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership") commenced a public offering (the "Offering") on May 10, 1989 of
5,000,000 ($100,000,000) Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs")
representing assignments of limited partnership interests. The BACs represent an
assignment of all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights
attributable to the limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The BACs
holders have virtually the same rights and, for all practical purposes, are
limited partners of the Partnership.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Partnership received $36,733,200 of gross
proceeds from the BACs holders representing 1,836,660 BACs. The final close of
the Offering occurred on May 23, 1991 and no further issuance of BACs is
anticipated.

The Partnership was organized on November 23, 1988 and will continue until
December 31, 2041 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of its
Partnership Agreement.

The general partner of the Partnership is CIP Associates, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "General Partner"). Related FI BUC$ Associates, Inc. is the
Assignor Limited Partner of the Partnership. CIP Associates, Inc. and Related FI
BUC$ Associates, Inc. are under substantially common ownership.

The Partnership was formed to invest in insured or guaranteed mortgage
investments. The Partnership has invested in first mortgage construction and
permanent loans ("Mortgages") to finance multifamily residential rental
properties ("Developments") developed by unaffiliated entities. After an initial
period, a substantial portion of the Mortgages is expected to provide for
additional interest based on the annual cash flow from the Developments and the
proceeds of prepayments, sales or other dispositions. All base interest and
initially at least 90% of the principal of the Mortgages is insured or coinsured
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and a private
mortgage lender (which is an affiliate of the General Partner). The Partnership
has also invested in uninsured equity loans made directly to developers of
developments on which the Partnership holds a first mortgage.

Net income and distributions of the Partnership are allocated 2% to the
General Partner and 98% to the limited partners, until the limited partners have
received an 11% per annum non-cumulative non-compounded return on their adjusted
contributions as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership. Thereafter, net income and distributions will be allocated 90% to
the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner.

The distributions per BAC were $1.40 for 1996, 1995 and 1994. The 1996,
1995 and 1994 distributions were made from adjusted cash flow from operations
and to a lesser extent were supplemented from working capital reserves, which
was considered to be a return of capital. The General Partner has waived or
allowed the accrual without payment of certain fees. See Note 4-Related Parties.

(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

NOTE 2 - Accounting Policies

a) Basis of Accounting

The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not limited to
legal and accounting, were considered deferred organization costs. These costs
were capitalized and were amortized over a 60 month period.

Acquisition expenses incurred for the investment of mortgage loans have
been capitalized and are included in loan origination costs, which are being
amortized over the average expected lives of the respective mortgages when
acquired.

The equity loans are considered to be premiums paid to obtain the mortgage
loans and are being amortized over the average expected lives of the respective
mortgages.

Interest rate buydowns are being amortized as an adjustment to the
effective interest rate over the average expected lives of the respective
mortgages.

b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments with original
maturity dates of less than 3 months when acquired and are carried at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates market.

c) Income Taxes

The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income
taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operation are passed directly
to the individual partners. The Partnership may be subject to state and local
taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

d) Reclassification

Certain balances have been reclassified from the prior years to conform to
the current year's presentation.

e) Changes in Accounting Principles

On January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". This standard requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

NOTE 2 - Accounting Policies (continued)

On January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights". This standard eliminates the distinction between
rights to service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan
origination activities and those acquired through purchase transactions.

The adoption of these standards has not materially affected the
Partnership's reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows, because this
is essentially the same method utilized previously to measure and record asset
impairments or to record mortgage servicing rights.

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities" and in December, 1996 issued SFAS No. 127 "Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 125 provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. SFAS No. 125 is effective
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied
prospectively and earlier or retroactive application is not permitted. SFAS No.
127, defers the effective date of SFAS No. 125 for certain transactions to be
after December 31, 1997 for the transfers of certain financial assets and
certain other transactions and established all transfers of financial assets
into two broad categories.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share" and SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about
Capital Structure". SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards for
the amount of earnings per share. SFAS No. 129 requires the disclosure in
summary form within the financial statements the pertinent rights and privileges
of the various securities outstanding. SFAS No. 128 and SFAS No. 129 are
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997 and earlier
application is not permitted.

The implementation of these standards is not expected to materially affect
the Partnership's financial statements because retroactive application is not
permitted relating to its servicing of financial assets and the Partnership is
essentially utilizing the same method for the reporting of transfers and
extinguishments of liabilities, and the Partnership's earnings per share (BAC)
would not be significantly affected and the disclosures regarding the capital
structure in the financial statements would not be significantly changed.

(A) The Partnership did not receive any construction interest during 1996, as
construction was completed prior to 1996 on all properties.

(B) Base interest on the Mortgages is that amount that is insured/co-insured by
HUD and is being shown net of service fee.

(C) Default Interest is the minimum amount due over the base rate, and is not
contingent upon cash flow. This interest is secured by Partnership
interests. Fieldcrest's default rate was reduced during 11/95, as per the
Additional Interest documents, to 0.07% over the Base Rate.

(D) Annual Yield is the amount over the default rate and is contingent upon
property cash flow.

(E) Cash Flow Participation is the percent of cash flow due to the Partnership
after payment of the Annual Yield and is contingent upon property cash
flow. Fieldcrest and Willow Trace provided sufficient cash flow in 1995 to
pay the Partnership a participation during 1996.

(F) The Investments in Loans amount reflects the unpaid balance of the
Mortgages and the unamortized balance of the equity loans in the amounts
of $25,651,993 and $1,833,457, respectively, at December 31, 1996 and
$25,784,370 and $2,090,253, respectively, at December 31, 1995.

=========== ===========

The Mortenson Manor and Windemere Mortgages are co-insured by HUD and
Related Mortgage Corporation ("RMC"), an affiliate of the General Partner. The
Fieldcrest III, Holly Ridge and Willow Trace Mortgages are insured by HUD.

In addition to the interest rate during the post-construction periods, the
Partnership will be entitled to payment of 30% of cash flow remaining after
payment of the permanent loan interest and accrued interest, if any, and certain
amounts from sale or refinancing proceeds.

The equity loans are non-interest bearing and are secured by the assignment
of the owner/developers' interests in the projects. The equity loans are not
insured by HUD or any other party and, for financial statement reporting
purposes, are considered to be premiums paid to obtain the Mortgages. These
premiums are being amortized over the average expected lives of the respective
Mortgages.

The Fieldcrest general partner paid $17,440 to the Partnership as an
interest rate buydown during the construction period. For financial reporting
purposes, the fee is treated as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on
the Mortgage.

At December 31, 1996, all of the loans due to the Partnership are current
(when taking into account the modification agreement discussed below). Mortenson
has not paid its default interest of approximately $85,000, $98,000 and $119,000
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the
first quarter of 1997, the Partnership received default interest of
approximately $25,000, representing partial payment for 1996. As a result, an
allowance for uncollectability relating to the default interest amounted to
Approximately $442,000 and $285,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 3 - Investment in Loans (continued)

The operations of Mortenson have not been able to support the payment of
the required interest. Accordingly, effective January 1, 1995 the Partnership
entered into a modification agreement whereby the annual yield was modified to a
cumulative yield of 9.4% per annum from the Permanent Loan Date and the Default
Rate was redefined as 8.43% per annum. The modification agreement also provided
that pre-1995 accrued interest not accrue further interest on and after January
1, 1995, and shall be paid solely out of Capital Proceeds prior to the
calculation of participation percentages. Mortenson also agreed to defer the
management fee payable up to the Default Rate. Pursuant to this modification
agreement, default interest for 1996 and 1995 of approximately $97,000 and
$98,000, respectively, has been accrued.

NOTE 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires that the estimated fair value of
financial instruments, as defined by SFAS No. 107, be disclosed. Financial
instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity
or a contract which creates obligations and rights to exchange cash and/or other
financial instruments. SFAS No. 107 also requires disclosures of the methods and
significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994


NOTE 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Considerable judgement is required in interpreting data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Partnership could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.

The following methods/assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents

Fair value is determined to be the carrying value because they mature in
three months or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.

Investments in loans

Fair value is estimated based on market quotes provided by an independent
mortgage company. The carrying value of the mortgage loans approximates
fair value.

NOTE 6 - Subsequent Events

On February 14, 1997, a distribution of $648,164 and $13,228 was paid to
BAC holders and the General Partner, respectively, representing the 1996 fourth
quarter distributions.

PART III

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.

The Registrant has no directors or executive officers. The Registrant's
affairs are managed and controlled by the General Partner. The General Partner
was organized in Delaware in November 1988. The executive officers and director
of the General Partner have held their positions as indicated below. Certain
information concerning the director and executive officers of the General
Partner is set forth below.

The Registrant, the General Partner and its directors and executive
officers, and any BACs holder holding more than ten percent of the Registrant's
BACs are required to report their initial ownership of such BACs and any
subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Forms 3, 4 and 5. The Registrant is not aware of any BACs holders who own
more than ten percent of the BACs. Such executive officers, directors are
required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulators to furnish the
Registrant with copies of all Forms 3, 4 or 5 they file. All of these filing
requirements were satisfied by the officers and directors of the General Partner
on a timely basis. In making these disclosures, the Registrant has relied solely
on written representations of the General Partner's directors and executive
officers or copies of the reports they have filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission during and with respect to its most recent fiscal year.
