                       AMERICAN INSURED MORTGAGE INVESTORS

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION

     American Insured Mortgage  Investors (the  "Partnership")  was formed under
the Uniform Limited Partnership Act in the state of California on July 12, 1983.
The Partnership Agreement ("Partnership  Agreement") states that the Partnership
will  terminate  on December  31,  2008,  unless  terminated  earlier  under the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

     CRIIMI, Inc. (the "General  Partner"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of CRIIMI
MAE Inc. ("CRIIMI MAE"),  holds a partnership  interest of 2.9%. AIM Acquisition
Partners L.P. (the "Advisor") serves as the advisor to the Partnership  pursuant
to an Advisory  Agreement  between the Advisor and the Partnership.  The general
partner of the Advisor is AIM Acquisition  Corporation  ("AIM  Acquisition") and
the limited  partners  include,  but are not limited  to, AIM  Acquisition,  The
Goldman Sachs Group, L.P., Sun America  Investments,  Inc.  (successor to Broad,
Inc.) and CRI/AIM Investment,  L.P., an affiliate of CRIIMI MAE. AIM Acquisition
is a Delaware  corporation  that is primarily owned by Sun America  Investments,
Inc. and The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P.

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

     The  Partnership's   investment  in  mortgages  consists  of  participation
certificates  evidencing  a 100%  undivided  beneficial  interest in  government
insured  multifamily  mortgages  issued  or sold  pursuant  to  Federal  Housing
Administration  ("FHA") programs  ("FHA-Insured  Certificates")  and FHA-insured
mortgage loans ("FHA-Insured Loans", and together with FHA-Insured  Certificates
referred  to  herein as  "Insured  Mortgages").  The  mortgages  underlying  the
FHA-Insured  Certificates and FHA-Insured Loans are non-recourse  first liens on
multifamily residential developments.


2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

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

Certificates as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001:


                                                            March 31,               December 31,

Face Value                                                   9,985,425               10,037,064
Fair Value                                                   9,819,646                9,727,346


     All of the FHA-Insured Certificates are current with respect to the payment
of  principal  and  interest  as of May 1,  2002,  except  for the  mortgage  on
Westbrook Apartments, which is delinquent with respect to the April 2002 payment
of principal and interest.

     Most of the Insured Mortgages held by the Partnership were issued under the
Section  221  program of the  National  Housing  Act of 1937,  as  amended  (the
"Section 221 program"). Under the Section 221 program, a mortgagee has the right
to assign a mortgage  ("put") to FHA at the expiration of 20 years from the date
of final  endorsement  if the  mortgage  is not in  default  at such  time.  Any
mortgagee  electing  to assign  an  FHA-insured  mortgage  to FHA  receives,  in
exchange  therefor,  debentures issued by the United Sates Department of Housing
and  Urban  Development  ("HUD")  having a total  face  value  equal to the then
outstanding  principal balance of the FHA-insured mortgage plus accrued interest
to the date of assignment.  These HUD debentures  generally mature 10 years from
the date of assignment  and bear interest at a rate announced  semi-annually  by
HUD in the Federal Register ("going Federal rate") at such date. This assignment
procedure is applicable to an Insured  Mortgage  which had a firm or conditional
FHA  commitment for insurance on or before  November 30, 1983.  The  Partnership
anticipates that each eligible Insured Mortgage,  for which a prepayment has not
occurred and which has not been sold,  will be assigned to FHA at the expiration
of 20 years from the date of final endorsement. The Partnership, therefore, does
not anticipate holding any eligible Insured Mortgage beyond the expiration of 20
years from final  endorsement  of that Insured  Mortgage.  The  Partnership  has
directed the servicer of each Insured  Mortgage to put these mortgages to FHA as
they become due.  Once the servicer of a mortgage has filed an  application  for
insurance benefits under the Section 221 program, the Partnership will no longer
receive the monthly principal and interest on the applicable mortgage.

5.   DUE FROM AFFILIATE

     The  mortgage  on Fox Run  Apartments  was  beneficially  owned  50% by the
Partnership  and  50% by an  affiliate  of  the  Partnership,  American  Insured
Mortgage Investors - Series 85, L.P. ("AIM 85"). A debenture,  with a face value
of  $2,385,233,  was issued to AIM 85 in  December  2000 with  interest  payable
semi-annually  on  January 1 and July 1. In  January  2002,  the  debenture  was
liquidated at par value. The Partnership received approximately $1.2 million for
its  share  of the  debenture  proceeds,  including  interest  of  approximately
$42,000.  A distribution of approximately  $0.11 per Unit related to the receipt
of these  proceeds  was  declared in March 2002 and paid to  Unitholders  in May
2002.


6.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS

     The  distributions  paid or accrued to  Unitholders on a per Unit basis for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

       Quarter Ended                              2002             2001
       -------------                            --------         --------

       March 31                                 $   0.16(1)      $   0.05
                                                ========         ========

(1)  This amount includes  approximately $0.11 per Unit due to the redemption of
     a  debenture  received  from  the  assignment  of the  Fox  Run  Apartments
     mortgage. This amount was received from AIM 85. The debenture was issued to
     AIM 85 since it was the record  owner of the Fox Run  Apartments  mortgage.
     The Partnership was a 50% beneficial owner.

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

General
-------

     As of March 31, 2002, the Partnership had invested in 10 Insured Mortgages,
with an aggregate amortized cost of approximately  $20.8 million,  face value of
approximately $24.3 million and fair value of approximately $23.9 million.

     As  of  May  1,  2002,  all  of  the  FHA-Insured   Loans  and  FHA-Insured
Certificates  are current  with respect to payment of  principal  and  interest,
except for the  mortgage  on  Westbrook  Apartments,  which is  delinquent  with
respect to the April 2002 payment of principal and interest.

     Most of the Insured Mortgages held by the Partnership were issued under the
Section 221 program. Under the Section 221 program, a mortgagee has the right to
assign a mortgage  ("put") to FHA at the expiration of 20 years from the date of
final  endorsement if the mortgage is not in default at such time. Any mortgagee
electing  to  assign  an  FHA-insured  mortgage  to FHA  receives,  in  exchange
therefor,  debentures issued by the United Sates Department of Housing and Urban
Development  ("HUD")  having a total  face value  equal to the then  outstanding
principal balance of the FHA-insured  mortgage plus accrued interest to the date
of assignment.  These HUD debentures  generally mature 10 years from the date of
assignment  and bear interest at a rate  announced  semi-annually  by HUD in the
Federal Register ("going Federal rate") at such date. This assignment  procedure
is  applicable  to an  Insured  Mortgage  which  had a firm or  conditional  FHA
commitment  for  insurance  on or before  November  30,  1983.  The  Partnership
anticipates that each eligible Insured Mortgage,  for which a prepayment has not
occurred and which has not been sold,  will be assigned to FHA at the expiration
of 20 years from the date of final endorsement. The Partnership, therefore, does
not anticipate holding any eligible Insured Mortgage beyond the expiration of 20
years from final  endorsement  of that Insured  Mortgage.  The  Partnership  has
directed the servicer of each Insured  Mortgage to put these mortgages to FHA as
they become due.  Once the servicer of a mortgage has filed an  application  for
insurance benefits under the Section 221 program, the Partnership will no longer
receive the monthly principal and interest on the applicable mortgage.

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

     Net earnings decreased by approximately  $55,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002, as compared to the corresponding  period in 2001,  primarily due
to a reduction in mortgage  investment  income and interest and other income, as
discussed below.

     Mortgage investment income decreased by approximately $32,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002,  as compared to the  corresponding  period in 2001,
primarily due a reduction in the mortgage  base. The mortgage base decreased due
to one mortgage  disposition,  in September  2001,  with a principal  balance of
approximately  $1.2  million,  representing  an  approximate  5% decrease in the
aggregate  principal  balance of the total mortgage  portfolio  since  September
2001, as compared to March 2002.

     Interest and other income decreased by approximately  $23,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002,  as compared to the  corresponding  period in 2001.
This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest earned on the debenture
due from an affiliate, as discussed below.

     Asset management fee to related parties decreased by approximately  $2,600,
or  5%,  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2002,  as  compared  to the
corresponding  period in 2001, primarily due to the 5% reduction in the mortgage
base, as previously discussed.

     General and administrative  expenses increased by approximately  $3,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the  corresponding  period
in 2001.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in the costs  associated
with partner level tax reporting as a result of the new Internal Revenue Service
electronic filing requirements for large partnerships.

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

     The  Partnership's  operating  cash  receipts,  derived  from  payments  of
principal and interest on Insured Mortgages, plus cash receipts from interest on
short-term  investments,  were  sufficient  for the three months ended March 31,
2002 to meet  operating  requirements.  The basis for  paying  distributions  to
Unitholders is net proceeds from Insured Mortgage dispositions, if any, and cash
flow from  operations,  which  includes  regular  interest  income and principal
received from Insured Mortgages.  Although Insured Mortgages pay a fixed monthly
mortgage  payment,  the cash  distributions  paid to the  Unitholders  will vary
during each period due to (1) the  fluctuating  yields in the  short-term  money
market where the monthly  mortgage  payment  receipts are  temporarily  invested
prior to the payment of quarterly distributions,  (2) the reduction in the asset
base resulting from monthly mortgage payments received or mortgage dispositions,
(3) variations in the cash flow  attributable  to the  delinquency or default of
Insured Mortgages and (4) changes in the Partnership's  operating  expenses.  As
the Partnership  continues to liquidate its mortgage investments and Unitholders
receive distributions of return of capital and taxable gains, Unitholders should
expect a reduction in earnings and distributions due to the decreasing  mortgage
base.

     Net cash provided by operating  activities did not change significantly for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the  corresponding  period
in 2001.

     Net cash provided by investing  activities  increased by approximately $1.2
million  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2002,  as  compared  to the
corresponding  period in 2001,  primarily due to the debenture proceeds received
from AIM 85 in January 2002. The mortgage on Fox Run Apartments was beneficially
owned  50% by  the  Partnership  and  50% by an  affiliate  of the  Partnership,
American Insured  Mortgage  Investors - Series 85, L.P. ("AIM 85"). A debenture,
with a face value of approximately $2.4 million was issued to AIM 85 in December
2000 with  interest  payable  semi-annually  on January 1 and July 1. In January
2002, the debenture was

13

liquidated at par value. The Partnership received approximately $1.2 million for
its  share  of the  debenture  proceeds,  including  interest  of  approximately
$42,000.  A distribution of approximately  $0.11 per Unit related to the receipt
of these  proceeds  was  declared in March 2002 and paid to  Unitholders  in May
2002.

     Net cash used in financing  activities  did not change for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the corresponding period in 2001.


ITEM 3.   QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Partnership's  principal market risk is exposure to changes in interest
rates in the U.S. Treasury market. The Partnership will experience  fluctuations
in the market value of its assets  related to changes in the  interest  rates of
U.S.  Treasury  bonds as well as increases in the spread  between U.S.  Treasury
bonds and the Partnership's Insured Mortgages. As of March 31, 2002, the average
U.S.  Treasury  rate  used to price  the  Partnership's  Insured  Mortgages  had
increased by approximately 35 to 54 basis points compared to December 31, 2001.

     Management has determined  that there has not been a material  change as of
March 31,  2002,  in market  risk from  December  31,  2001 as  reported  in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2001.
