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.

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.

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 Registrant is engaged solely in the business of investing in Mortgages and
equity loans; therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not
applicable.

The following table lists the mortgage loans and equity loans which the
Registrant holds as of March 3, 1998:

(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, 1998, 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 1, 1998. The property achieved Final Endorsement during February 1992. The
Registrant has received approximately $ 205,900 as of December 31, 1997 from
Mortenson representing principal payments of the mortgage loan. 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 subordinate
the management fee 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 interest, if any, and certain amounts from
sale or refinancing proceeds. Default Interest payments of approximately
$563,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 to 1997 have not been received
and, as a result, an allowance for uncollectability amounted to approximately
$538,000 and $442,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(4) Cost certification on Windemere occurred in June 1992 and amortization of
the loan began the same month. The property was 99% occupied as of March 1,
1998. Windemere achieved Final Endorsement during July 1992. The Registrant has
received approximately $194,400 as of December 31, 1997 from Windemere
representing principal payments 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
$65,000 for the period July 1997 to December 1997 expected to be received during
the second quarter of 1998. 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
92% occupied as of March 1, 1998. Final endorsement was achieved during November
1992 and amortization of the loan began the same month. The Registrant has
received approximately $63,700 as of December 31, 1997 from Fieldcrest
representing principal payments 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. 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 1997 to December 1997 is
expected to be received during the second quarter of




-3-



1998. 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
1, 1998. The fully insured 221(d)(4) mortgage loan is for $5,310,100. An equity
loan of $684,400 was also advanced to the borrower. The Registrant has received
approximately $64,900 as of December 31, 1997 from Holly Ridge representing
principal payments of the mortgage loan. The mortgage loan has a term of 40
years 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 $51,000 for the period July 1997 to
December 1997 is expected to be received during the second quarter of 1998.

(7) On June 18, 1993, the Registrant closed the investment in Willow Trace, a
152 unit project, located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The property was 98% occupied
as of March 1, 1998. 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 $112,300 as of December 31, 1997 from Willow Trace representing
principal payments 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 $28,000 for
the period July 1997 to December 1997 is expected to be received during the
second quarter of 1997. In addition, the Registrant expects to receive
approximately $15,000 during the second quarter of 1998, 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.

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.

PART II

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

As of December 31, 1997, 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 represents 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.



-5-



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.

Distribution Information

Cash distributions per BAC made to the limited partners or BACs holders for the
following quarters in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
1997 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529
1996 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529
1995 .3452 .3490 .3529 .3529

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

A total of $7,713,991 was distributed to the limited partners or BACs holders in
1997, 1996 and 1995. 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 1997,
1996 and 1995 distributions (which is considered to be a return of capital).
Approximately $706,000, $897,000 and $669,000 paid to the limited partners or
BACs holders in each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
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 $157,428 was distributed to the General Partner in
1997, 1996 and 1995.

Since contingent interest on some of the mortgage loans is paid semi-annually, a
portion of the 1997 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,
1998 through the distribution date, February 14, 1998. 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 final
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

Sources of Registrant funds included interest earned on (1) investments in
mortgage loans (see also Item 1, Business) and (2) the working capital reserve.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents of the
Registrant decreased by approximately $350,000. Cash provided by operating
activities and collections of principal on mortgage loans were approximately
$2,130,000 and $145,000, 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 $279,000.

In addition, the General Partner has allowed the accrual without payment of the
partnership management fee through 1992 and for the Quarter ended December 31,
1997 in aggregate amounts equal to approximately $268,000 and 38,000,
respectively. 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
1997 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 will be sufficient to cover anticipated expenses in 1998.

Distributions of approximately $2,571,000 made to the limited partners or BACs
holders for each of the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 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. Approximately $52,000
was distributed to the General Partner for each of the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996.

The level of future distributions will depend on results of operations.
Furthermore, the expiration of the final Guaranteed Rate Guaranty Periods in
1997 (see Item 1, Business) may have an adverse affect on future distributions
if contingent interest is not realized on the mortgage loans. Beginning in the
first quarter of 1998 the Partnerships distribution policy will call for
quarterly distributions which reflect collections of interest payments.

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

1997 vs. 1996

Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 consisted
primarily of interest income of approximately $2,471,000 and $2,423,000,
respectively, earned from investments in mortgage loans.

Interest income from mortgage loans increased approximately $48,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily due to the receipt of an
annual yield payment form Fieldcrest in 1997.

Interest income from temporary investments decreased approximately $24,000
primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents balances.

Total expenses, excluding provision for bad debts, remained fairly constant with
a decrease of approximately 2% for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared
to 1996.

A provision for bad debts of approximately $96,079 and $157,000 was charged for
the year ending December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing the
1995-1997 Guaranteed Interest due from Mortenson.

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.

Recent Financial Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new
accounting pronouncements. Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Statement No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The adoption of
these standards in 1997 has not materially affected the Company's reported
operating results, per share amounts, financial position or cash flows.

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, were
issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for
comparative purposes, is required. The statement also requires the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive



-9-



income to be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of the statement of financial position.

SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Categories required to be reported as well as reconciled to the
financial statements are segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and
expense items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

Both SFAS No. 130 and 131 are disclosure related only and therefore will have no
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Year 2000 Compliance

As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The Advisor is in the process of working with the Company's
service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on information currently
available, the Company does not expect that it will incur significant operating
expenses or be required to incur material costs to be year 2000 compliant.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Capital
Mortgage Plus L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the related statements of income, changes in partners' capital
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the General Partners. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Capital Mortgage Plus L.P. as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

CAPITAL MORTGAGE PLUS L.P.
(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

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 1997, 1996 and 1995. The 1997, 1996 and
1995 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.


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").



-17-



CAPITAL MORTGAGE PLUS L.P.
(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

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) New Pronouncements

CAPITAL MORTGAGE PLUS L.P.
(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new
accounting pronouncements. Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Statement No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The adoption of
these standards in 1997 has not materially affected the Company's reported
operating results, per share amounts, financial position or cash flows.

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, were
issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for
comparative purposes, is required. The statement also requires the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income to be displayed separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement
of financial position.

SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Categories required to be reported as well as reconciled to the
financial statements are segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and
expense items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

Both SFAS No. 130 and 131 are disclosure related only and therefore will have no
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

(A) The Partnership did not receive any construction interest during 1997, as
construction was completed prior to 1997 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, Willow Trace and Holly Ridge provided sufficient cash flow in 1996
to pay the Partnership a participation during 1997.

(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 $25,508,832
and $1,576,661 at December 31, 1997 and $25,651,993 and $1,833,457,

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.


-21-



CAPITAL MORTGAGE PLUS L.P.
(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


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, 1997, 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 $96,000, $85,000 and $98,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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
$538,217 and $442,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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 1997 and 1996 of approximately $96,000 and
$97,000, respectively, has been accrued.

NOTE 4 - Related Parties

The costs incurred to related parties for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995 were as follows:

1997 1996 1995
-------- -------- --------

Partnership management fees (a) $153,065 $153,065 $153,065
Expense reimbursement (b) 63,143 84,444 59,268
-------- -------- --------

$216,208 $237,509 $212,333
======== ======== ========

(a) A Partnership management fee for managing the affairs of the Partnership
equal to .5% per annum of invested assets is payable out of cash flow to the
General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
payments of $114,799, $267,864 and $65,668 were made, respectively. The
remaining balance of the 1995 fee of $114,799 was paid during January 1996. As
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, a balance of $305,822 and $267,556, respectively,
was due to the General Partner for these fees.

(b) The General Partner and its affiliates perform services for the Partnership
which include, but are not limited to: accounting and financial management,
register, transfer and assignment functions, asset management, investor
communications, printing services and other administrative



-22-



services. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement. An affiliate of the General Partner
performs assets monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site
visits and evaluations of the performance of the properties securing the loans.
During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, payments of $1,062,
$138,849 and $58,032 were made, respectively, relating to these costs. As of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner and its affiliates were due
$94,476 and $30,271, respectively.

RMC is a co-insurer on the Mortenson and Windemere Mortgages in which the
Partnership has invested. RMC is entitled to a mortgage insurance premium which
is paid by the mortgagors.

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.

Considerable judgment 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

At December 31, 1997, the estimated carrying value of the mortgage loans
approximated fair value. The estimated fair values at December 31, 1997 were
based on internal valuations of the five properties collateralizing these loans.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument which sets
forth the terms of a loan. This estimate is subjective in nature and involves
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect estimates. Due to the property-specific nature of the loans
and the lack of a ready market for such investments, this fair value estimate
does not necessarily represent the amount which the Partnership could realize
upon a current sale of its investments.

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.
