PART I



Item 1. Description of Business

Intervest Corporation of New York (the "Company") was formed in April 1987 by
Lowell S. Dansker, Lawrence G. Bergman and Helene D. Bergman for the purpose of
engaging in the real estate business, including the acquisition and purchase of
real estate mortgage loans.

The principal offices of the Company are located at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite
1015, New York, New York 10020-1903, and its telephone number is 212-757-7300.
The Company presently has no employees; and only one of its officers serves with
compensation. It presently owns mortgages on real estate, and intends to acquire
and originate additional mortgages on real estate. The Company may in the future
engage in any aspect of the real estate and mortgage finance business.

The Company also has two wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Present Business

The Company owns a portfolio of mortgages on improved real property. The
aggregate outstanding principal balance at December 31, 1997 due on such
mortgages is approximately $75,202,000 ($74,316,000 after adjusting for a
discount of $886,000). The company has in the past and may in the future own
"wraparound mortgages" under which the principal amount of and debt service on
one or more senior mortgages is included within the principal amount of and debt
service on the wraparound mortgage. The holder of the wraparound mortgage is
required to pay the obligations due under such senior mortgages from the
payments which it receives on the wraparound mortgage.

For financial statement reporting purposes, all mortgages contributed or sold to
the Company by affiliates have been recorded at the historical cost of the
affiliate. The historical cost of the mortgage loans which originated in
connection with the sale of real estate includes a discount to reflect an
appropriate market interest rate at the date of origination.

Five mortgages owned by the Company are senior mortgages on net leased, single
tenant, free standing commercial properties, thirty-one are senior mortgages on
multifamily residential apartment buildings, five are junior mortgages on
multifamily residential apartment buildings, one is a senior mortgage on land,
three are senior mortgages on commercial buildings and two are participations in
first mortgages on commercial properties.

Twenty-eight of the residential properties are located in New York City, two are
located in suburbs of New York City, four are located in the State of New
Jersey, one is located in the State of Pennsylvania and one is located in the
State of Florida. One of the Company's mortgages is a blanket mortgage covering
several residential properties located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two of the
residential properties are owned by cooperative corporations (a form of
owner-occupied apartment ownership in New York City). Thirty-four of the
residential properties are rental properties, nine of which have commercial
space (stores) on the ground floor. Twenty-nine of the Company's mortgages on
these properties are first mortgages, and five are junior mortgages. Two of the
mortgages are participations in first mortgages on commercial properties in
Florida. One of the mortgages is a first mortgage on land located in the State
of Florida.

Future Business Operations

The Company plans to engage in the real estate business, including the
acquisition and origination of additional mortgages in the future. Such
additional mortgages may be purchased from affiliates of the Company or from
unaffiliated parties. It is anticipated that such mortgages will be acquired or
originated using the proceeds of offerings of the Company's debt securities
and/or internally generated funds.

The Company intends to continue to originate new mortgages, to acquire existing
mortgages, and to acquire equity interests in real property. In originating new
mortgages, the Company intends to act as a lender of money to owners of equity
interests in real property. The Company acquired certain existing mortgages from
mortgagees after it commenced business and intends to acquire additional
existing mortgages from mortgagees in the future. The Company does not presently
own any equity interests in real property nor has it acquired such an equity
interest in real property since the date it commenced business. However, the
Company may purchase equity interests in real property in the future or it may
acquire such an equity interest pursuant to a foreclosure upon a mortgage held
by it.

The Company's mortgage loans may include: (i) first mortgage loans; (ii) junior
mortgage loans; and (iii) wraparound mortgage loans.

The Company's mortgage loans will generally be secured by income-producing
properties. In determining whether to make mortgage loans, the Company will
analyze relevant real property and financial factors which may in certain cases
include such factors as the condition and use of the subject property, its
income-producing capacity and the quality, experience and creditworthiness of
the owner of the property. The Company's mortgage loans will generally not be
personal obligations of the borrower and will not be insured or guaranteed by
governmental agencies or otherwise. The Company may make both long- and
short-term mortgage loans. The Company anticipates that generally its mortgage
loans will provide for balloon payments due at the time of their maturity.

With respect to the acquisition of equity interests in real estate, the Company
may acquire and retain title to properties or, may, directly or through a
subsidiary, retain an interest in a partnership formed to acquire and hold title
to real property.

While no such transactions are presently pending, the Company would, in
appropriate circumstances, consider the expansion of its business through
investments in or acquisitions of other companies engaged in real estate or
mortgage business activities.

Real Estate Investment Policies

While the Company has not previously made acquisitions of real property or
managed income-producing property, its management has had substantial experience
in the acquisition and management of properties and, in particular, multifamily
residential properties. The executive officers of the Company have been actively
involved in such activities for many years. (See "Item 10").

Real property that may be acquired will be selected by management of the
Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted any formal
policies regarding the percentage of the Company's assets that may be invested
in any single property, or in any type of property, or regarding the geographic
location of properties that may be acquired. No vote of any securities holders
of the Company is necessary for any investment in real estate.

The Company anticipates that any equity interests it may acquire will be in
commercial, income-producing properties, primarily multifamily residential
properties located in the New York metropolitan area. The acquisition of real
estate may be financed in reliance upon working capital, mortgage financing or a
combination of both. It is anticipated that properties selected for acquisition
would have potential for appreciation in value.

4





While such properties would typically generate cash flow from rentals, it is
anticipated that income from properties will generally be reinvested in capital
improvements to the properties.

While the Company would maintain close supervision over any properties that it
may own, independent managing agents may be engaged when deemed appropriate by
management. All such properties would, as a matter of policy, be covered by
property insurance in amounts deemed adequate in the opinion of management.


Mortgage Investment Policy

Future investments in mortgages will be selected by management of the Company.
The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted any formal policy
regarding the percentage of the Company's assets which may be invested in any
single mortgage, or in any type of mortgage investment, or regarding the
geographic location of properties on which the mortgages owned by the Company
are liens. However, it is the present intention of the management of the Company
to maintain the diversification of the portfolio of mortgages owned by the
Company. No vote of any security holders of the Company is necessary for any
investment in a mortgage.

The Company anticipates that it will acquire or originate senior and junior
mortgages, primarily on multifamily residential properties located in the New
York metropolitan area. The Company anticipates that the amount of each mortgage
it may acquire in the future will not exceed 85% of the fair market value of the
property securing such mortgage. Such mortgages generally will not be insured by
the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration
or otherwise guaranteed or insured in any way. The Company requires that all
mortgaged properties be covered by property insurance in amounts deemed adequate
in the opinion of management. The Company also acquires or originates mortgages
which are liens on other types of properties, including commercial and office
properties, and may resell mortgages.

Temporary Investment by Affiliates on Behalf of the Company

An affiliate of the Company may make a mortgage loan or purchase a mortgage in
its own name and temporarily hold such investment for the purpose of
facilitating the making of an investment of the Company, provided that any such
investment is acquired by the Company at a cost no greater than the cost of such
investment to the affiliate plus carrying costs and provided there is no other
benefit to the affiliate arising out of such transaction.

Certain Characteristics of the Company's Mortgage Investments

Mortgages typically provide for periodic payments of interest and, in some
cases, principal during the term of the mortgage, with the remaining principal
balance and any accrued interest due at the maturity date. The majority of the
mortgages owned by the Company provide for balloon payments at maturity, which
means that a substantial part or all of the original principal of the mortgage
is due in one lump sum payment at maturity. The property on which the mortgage
is a lien provides the security for the mortgage. If the net revenue from the
property is not sufficient to make all debt service payments due on mortgages on
the property, or if at maturity or the due date of any balloon payment the owner
of the property fails to raise the funds to make the payment (by refinancing,
sale or otherwise), the Company could sustain a loss on its investment in the
mortgage. To the extent that the aggregate net revenues from the Company's
mortgage investments are insufficient to provide funds equal to the payments due
under the Company's debt obligations, then the Company would be required to
utilize its working capital for such purposes or otherwise obtain the necessary
funds from outside sources. No assurance can be given that such funds would be
available to the Company.

With respect to any wraparound mortgages which may be originated by the Company
in the future, such wraparound mortgages are generally negotiated and structured
on an individual, case by case basis, and may be structured to include any or
all of the following provisions:



5





(i) The Company may lend money to a real property owner who would be
obligated to repay the senior underlying mortgage debt as well as the new
wraparound indebtedness owed to the Company.

(ii) The Company may legally assume the obligation to make the payments
due on the senior underlying mortgage debt.

(iii) The real property owner-debtor may agree to make payments to the
Company in satisfaction of both the senior underlying mortgage debt and the new
wraparound indebtedness owed to the Company.

(iv) The Company may receive a mortgage on the real property to secure
repayment of the total amount of indebtedness (wraparound indebtedness and the
senior underlying mortgage indebtedness).

The mortgages owned by the Company that are junior mortgages are
subordinate in right of payment to senior mortgages on the various properties.
In all cases, in the opinion of management, the current value of the underlying
property collateralizing the mortgage loan is in excess of the stated amount of
the mortgage loan. Therefore, in the opinion of management of the Company, each
property on which a mortgage owned by the Company is a lien constitutes adequate
collateral for the related mortgage loan. Accordingly, in the event the owner of
a property fails to make required debt service payments, management believes
that, based upon current value, upon a foreclosure of the mortgage and sale of
the property, the Company would recover its entire investment. However, there
can be no assurance that the current value of the underlying property will be
maintained.

Loan Loss Experience

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers a loan as delinquent or
non-performing when it is contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal
or interest payments. To date, the Company has only experienced a single default
or delinquency in its mortgage portfolio. It is pursuing foreclosure proceedings
with respect to a single mortgage, the principal balance of which is $1,583,700.
The Company evaluates its portfolio of mortgage loans on an individual basis,
comparing the amount at which the investment is carried to its estimated net
realizable value. Since the Company has experienced only a single default or
delinquency, no allowance for loan losses is presently maintained.

Tax Accounting Treatment of Payments Received on Mortgages

The Company derives substantially all of its cash flow from debt service
payments which it receives on mortgages owned by it. The tax accounting
treatment of such debt service payments, as income or return of capital, depends
on the particular mortgage. In the case of mortgages which pay interest only,
the entire debt service payment prior to maturity received by the Company is
treated as income and the repayment of principal is generally considered a
return of capital. In the case of mortgages which include amortization of
principal in the debt service payment received by the Company, the amount
representing amortization of principal is generally treated as a return of
capital for tax accounting purposes. However, the Company will report $199,000
of additional taxable income upon the collection of $830,000 of principal
applicable to five mortgages due to deferrals of taxable income in connection
with prior real estate transactions.

Financial Accounting Treatment of Payments Received on Mortgages

For financial reporting purposes, the Company's basis in mortgages originated in
connection with real estate sale transactions is less than the face amount
outstanding. This difference is attributable to discounts recorded by the
Company to reflect a market rate of interest at the date the loans were
originated. These discounts will be amortized over the lives of the mortgages.

Effect of Government Regulation

Investment in mortgages on real properties presently may be impacted by
government regulation in several ways. Residential properties may be subject to
rent control and rent stabilization laws. As a consequence, the owner of the
property may be restricted in its ability to raise the rents on apartments. If
real estate taxes, fuel costs and maintenance of and repairs to the property
were to increase substantially, and such increases are not offset by increases
in rental income, the ability of the owner of the property to make the payments
due on the mortgage as and when they are due might be adversely affected.

Laws and regulations relating to asbestos have been adopted in many
jurisdictions, including New York City, which require that whenever any work is
undertaken in a property in an area in which asbestos is present, the asbestos
must be removed or encapsulated in accordance with such applicable local and
federal laws and regulations. The cost of asbestos removal or encapsulation may
be substantial, and if there were not sufficient cash flow from the property,
after debt service on mortgages, to fund the required work, and the owner of the
property fails to fund such work from other sources, the value of the property
could be adversely affected, with consequent impairment of the security for the
mortgage.

Laws regulating the storage, disposal and clean up of hazardous or toxic
substances at real property have been adopted at the federal, state and local
levels. Such laws may impose a lien on the real property superior to any
mortgages on the property. In the event such a lien were imposed on any property
which serves as security for a mortgage owned by the Company, the security for
such mortgage could be impaired.

Item 2. Properties

None.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Except with respect to foreclosure proceedings related to one of its mortgages,
the Company is not engaged in any litigation, nor does it presently know of any
threatened or pending litigation in which it is contemplated that the Company
will be made a party.

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

None.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Shares and Related Stockholder Matters

There is no established trading market for the Company's shares of common stock.
As of February 28, 1998, there were three recordholders of the Company's shares
of common stock. In the two most recent fiscal years, no cash dividends were
declared or paid with respect to the Company's common stock.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company is engaged in the real estate business, including the origination
and purchase of real estate mortgage loans, consisting of first mortgage, junior
mortgage and wraparound mortgage loans. The Company's current investment policy
emphasizes the investment in mortgage loans on income producing properties. The
majority of the Company's loans are expected to mature within approximately five
years.

The Company's liquidity is managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available
to meet maturities of borrowings or to make other investments, taking into
account anticipated cash flows and available sources of funds. The Company's
principal sources of funds have consisted of borrowings (principally through the
issuance of its subordinated debentures), mortgage repayments and cash flow from
ongoing operations. Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 1997 was
$10,521,000. The Company considers its current liquidity and additional sources
of funds sufficient to satisfy its outstanding commitments and its maturing
liabilities.

Results of Operations:

Year Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996

Interest Income for 1997 was $10,088,000 as compared to $9,497,000 for 1996. The
increase of $591,000 resulted mainly from an increase in mortgages receivable.
Interest paid by the Company on most of its debentures, as well as the interest
earned on many of its mortgages, is keyed to the prime rate, which was 8 1/4% at
December 31, 1996, and increased to 8 1/2% on March 26, 1997.

Interest expense for the 1997 period was $8,181,000 as compared to $7,053,000
for the 1996 period. The increase of $1,128,000 resulted mainly from an increase
in long term obligations.

General and administrative expenses for 1997 was $773,000 as compared to
$948,000 for 1996. The decrease of $175,000 resulted mainly from lower
management fees and payroll expenses.

The provision for income taxes are $373,000 and $584,000 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. These provisions represent 46% of pretax income for each period.

Year Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

Interest income for 1996 was $9,497,000 as compared to $7,984,000 for 1995. The
increase of $1,513,000 resulted mainly from an increase in mortgages receivable,
offset in part by a decrease in interest rates subsequent to July 1995. Interest
paid by the Company on most of its debentures, as well as the interest earned on
many of its mortgages, is keyed to the prime rate, which was 8 1/2% at December
31, 1995, and decreased to 8 1/4% on February 1, 1996.

Interest expense for the 1996 period was $7,053,000 as compared to $6,227,000
for the 1995 period. The increase of $826,000 resulted mainly from an increase
in long term obligations, offset in part by a decrease in interest rates
subsequent to July 1995.

General and administrative expenses for 1996 was $948,000 as compared to
$657,000 for 1995. The increase of $291,000 resulted mainly from the payment of
an officer's salary and increased advertising expenses.

The provision for income taxes are $584,000 and $324,000 for 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These provisions represent 46% and 42% of pretax income for each
period.


10





Since the Company intends to continue to expand its asset base, including its
mortgage portfolio, it is anticipated that its interest income will continue to
grow. To the extent that such growth is funded in reliance upon long-term
obligations, interest expense will likewise increase. The size of any such
increase will, of course, depend upon the principal amounts of the additional
assets or liabilities, as well as interest rates.

Since the Company is engaged in the real estate business, its results of
operations are affected by general economic trends in real estate markets, as
well as by trends in the general economy and the movement of interest rates.
Since the properties underlying the Company's mortgages are concentrated in the
New York City area, the economic condition in that area can also have an impact
on the Company's operations.

The number of instances of prepayment of mortgage loans tends to increase during
periods of declining interest rates and tends to decrease during periods of
increasing interest rates. Certain of the Company's mortgages include prepayment
provisions, and others prohibit prepayment of indebtedness entirely. In any
event, the Company believes that it would be able to reinvest the proceeds of
any prepayments of mortgage loans in comparable mortgages so that prepayments
would not have any materially adverse effect on the Company's business.

The rental housing market in New York City remains stable and the Company
expects that such properties will continue to appreciate in value with little or
no reduction in occupancy rates. The Company's mortgage portfolio is composed
predominantly of mortgages on multi-family residential properties, most of which
are subject to applicable rent control and rent stabilization statutes and
regulations. In both cases, any increases in rent are subject to specific
limitations. As such, properties of the nature of those constituting the most
significant portion of the Company's mortgage portfolio are not affected by the
general movement of real estate values in the same manner as other
income-producing properties.

The Company's mortgages are generally acquired or originated for investment and
not for resale in the secondary market, and it is, in general, the Company's
intention to hold such mortgages to maturity. The Company's mortgage loans
generally do not meet the criteria set forth by relevant federal agencies, and
as a result are not readily marketable in the secondary market.

Impact of Inflation:
The Company may lend at fixed interest rates that exceed the rates applicable,
from time to time, to the Debentures payable by the Company. Under such
circumstances inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
continuing operations. Should inflation result in rising interest rates, the
Company would have to devote a higher percentage of the interest payments it
receives from its fixed rate mortgages to meet the interest payments due on the
Debentures. The extent to which the Company may be required to allocate the
interest payments it receives to the payment of the interest due on the
Debentures as a result of increasing interest rates is limited because the
interest payable on both principal and accrued interest on the Debentures may
not exceed a certain maximum percent per annum. Should the Company be required
to pay the maximum interest payable on the Debentures, the Company may be
required to use its working capital for purposes of interest payments.

Business:
The Company is engaged in the real estate business and has historically invested
primarily in real estate mortgage loans secured by income producing real
property. Such transactions typically require an understanding of the underlying
real estate transaction and rapid processing and funding as a principal basis
for competing in the making of these loans. The Company does not finance new
construction.

At December 31, 1997, 59% of the outstanding principal amount of the Company's
loans (net of discounts) were secured by properties located in the greater New
York metropolitan area. The balance of the Company's loans are secured by
properties located in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, upstate New York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia.




11





Certain of the Company's real estate mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed
rate. The balance of such loans bear interest at fluctuating rates. As of
December 31, 1997, approximately 36% of the Company's mortgage portfolio was
comprised of fixed rate mortgages. Interest on the loans is usually payable
monthly.

At December 31, 1997, the Company's portfolio consisted of 47 real estate
mortgage loans totaling $75,202,000 in the aggregate face principal amount
($74,316,000 in carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, the difference
representing unearned discounts). Of the principal amount of real estate loans
outstanding at December 31, 1997, 91% represent first mortgage loans and 9%
represent junior mortgage loans.

The Company may also, from time to time, acquire interests in real property,
including fee interests.

Investment Policy-Operations:

The Company's current investment policy related to mortgages emphasizes
investments in real estate mortgages secured by income producing real property,
located primarily in the greater New York metropolitan area.

The properties to be mortgaged are personally inspected by management and
mortgage loans are made only on those properties where management is
knowledgeable as to operating income and expense. The Company generally relies
upon its management in connection with the valuation of properties. From time to
time, however, it may engage independent appraisers and other agents to assist
in determining the value of income-producing properties underlying mortgages, in
which case the costs associated with such services are generally paid by the
mortgagor.

The Company's current investment policy related to real estate acquisitions
emphasizes investments in income-producing properties located primarily in the
New York metropolitan area.

Current Loan Status:

At December 31, 1997, the Company had 47 real estate loans in its portfolio,
totaling $75,202,000 (face amount) in aggregate principal amount. Interest rates
on the mortgage portfolio range between 6% and 23% per annum. Certain mortgages

INTERVEST CORPORATION OF NEW YORK
Notes to Financial Statements
Note A - The Company

Intervest Corporation of New York (the "Company") was formed by Lowell S.
Dansker, Lawrence G. Bergman and Helene D. Bergman for the purpose of engaging
in the real estate business, including the origination and purchase of real
estate mortgage loans.


Note B - Significant Accounting Policies

[1] Consolidation policy:

The financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries.
Material intercompany items are eliminated in consolidation.

[2] Mortgage loans:

Loans are stated at their outstanding principal balances, net of any
deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized discounts on
purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal
balance. Discounts are amortized to income over the life of the related
receivables using the constant interest method. Loan origination fees
net of certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as
an adjustment of the yield of the related loans.

[3] Allowance for losses:

An allowance for loss related to loans that are impaired is based on
discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate
or the fair value of the collateral. Management's periodic evaluation
of the need for, or adequacy of, the allowance is based on the
Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to
repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of
the underlying collateral and other relevant factors. This evaluation
is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including
the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on
any impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. For
financial reporting purposes mortgages are deemed to be delinquent when
payment of either principal or interest is more than 90 days past due.

[4] Deferred debenture offering costs:

Costs relating to offerings of debentures are amortized over the terms
of the debentures based on serial maturities. Deferred debenture
offering costs consist primarily of underwriters' commissions.

18

INTERVEST CORPORATION OF NEW YORK
Notes to Financial Statements

Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

[5] Statement of cash flows:

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest and income taxes were
paid as follows:

Year Ended
December 31, Interest Income Taxes
- ------------ -------- ------------
1997 $6,721,000 $ 827,000
1996 5,679,000 196,000
1995 7,584,000 331,000


[6] Estimated fair value of financial instruments:

The Company considers the carrying amounts presented for mortgages
receivable and subordinated debentures payable on the consolidated
balance sheets to be reasonable approximations of fair value. The
Company's variable or floating interest rates on large portions of its
receivables and payables approximate those which would prevail in
current market transactions. Considerable judgement is necessarily
required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair
value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market
transaction.

[7] Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

[8] Concentration of credit risk:

(a) The Company places its temporary cash investments with higher
credit-quality financial institutions, including a bank owned by
the shareholders of the Company and in governmental obligations.
Such investments are generally in excess of the FDIC insurance
limit. The Company has not experienced any losses from such
investments.

(b) The Company's mortgage portfolio is composed predominantly of
mortgages on multi-family residential properties in the New York
City area, most of which are subject to applicable rent control
and rent stabilization statutes and regulations. In both cases,
any increases in rent are subject to specific limitations. As
such, properties of the nature of those constituting the most
significant portion of the Company's mortgage portfolio are not
affected by the general movement of real estate values in the
same manner as other income-producing properties. The rental
housing market in New York City remains stable and the Company
expects that such properties will continue to appreciate in value
with little or no reduction in occupancy rates.

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

"Prime" refers to the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Prime was 8 1/2% on December 31, 1997. Minimum interest is 9 1/2% and maximum
interest is 15% on Series 5/13/91. Series 2/20/92 has minimum interest of 8% and
maximum interest of 14%, Series 6/29/92 has maximum interest of 14%, Series
9/13/93, 1/28/94, 10/28/94, 5/12/95, 10/19/95, 5/10/96, 10/15/96 and 4/30/97 due
October 1, 2005 have maximum interest of 12%, and Series 4/30/97 due July 1,
1999 has interest of 9%.

Payment of interest on an aggregate of $13,790,000 of debentures is deferred
until maturity and earns interest at prime. Any debenture holder who has
deferred receipt of interest may at any time elect to receive the deferred
interest and subsequently receive regular payments of interest.

The debentures may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option
of the Company. For debentures issued after 1996, redemption would generally be
at a premium of 1% or 2% if the redemption is prior to 1999.

The debentures are unsecured and subordinate to all present and future senior
indebtedness, as defined.

Interest rates on mortgages range from 6% to 23%. Certain mortgages have been
discounted utilizing rates ranging from 12% to 17%.

During 1996 and 1997 certain mortgages were paid in full prior to their maturity
date. This resulted in the recognition of a gain, which represents the balance
of the unamortized discount applicable to these mortgages.

Maturities of mortgages receivable are summarized as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements


Note D - Mortgages Receivable (continued)

The Company evaluates its portfolio of mortgage loans on an individual basis,
comparing the amount at which the investment is carried to its estimated net
realizable value. At the respective balance sheet dates, no allowances were
required, although as of December 31, 1997, one mortgage with a carrying value
of $1,584,000 is delinquent. The Company is in the process of foreclosing on the
related property, the fair value of which exceeds the carrying value of this
loan.


Note E - Related Party Transactions

During 1995 affiliates sold, to unrelated third parties, properties subject to
mortgages held by the Company. In connection with those sales, the Company's
mortgages in the original aggregate amount of $6,958,000 was refinanced and the
Company received new first mortgages totaling $9,670,000.

Other income includes fees of $6,000 , $8,000 and $42,000 from affiliates in
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

The Company utilizes personnel and other facilities of affiliated entities and
is charged service fees for general and administrative expenses for placing
mortgages, servicing mortgages and distributing debenture interest checks. Such
fees amounted to $264,000, $367,000 and $342,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management believes these service fees are reasonable.

The Company participates with Intervest Bank in two mortgages. The balance of
the Company's participation in these mortgages was $1,309,919 at December 31,
1997. The shareholders of the Company are officers, directors and shareholders
of the Parent of Intervest Bank.
