MUNICIPAL MORTGAGE & EQUITY, LLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC ("MuniMae" and, together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") provides debt and equity financing to developers of
multifamily housing. The Company invests in tax-exempt bonds, or interests in
bonds, issued by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to
finance multifamily housing developments. Interest income derived from the
majority of these bond investments is exempt income for federal income tax
purposes. Multifamily housing developments, as well as the rents paid by the
tenants, secure these investments.
The Company is also a mortgage banker. Mortgage banking activities include
the origination, investment in and servicing of investments in multifamily
housing, both for its own account and on behalf of third parties. These
investments generate taxable income.
The Company also invests in (1) other housing-related debt and equity
investments, including equity investments in income-producing real estate
operating partnerships and tax-exempt bonds, or interests in bonds, secured by
student housing or assisted living developments, and (2) tax-exempt community
development bonds, typically secured by special taxes imposed on single-family
or other community development districts or by assessments imposed on the
residents or other lot owners of those developments.
The Company also acquires and sells interests in partnerships that provide
low-income housing tax credits for investors. The Company earns syndication fees
on the placement of these interests with investors, including the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and a number of corporate
investors. The Company also earns asset management fees for managing the
low-income housing tax credit funds syndicated.
MuniMae is a Delaware limited liability company. As a limited liability
company, MuniMae combines the limited liability, governance and management
characteristics of a corporation with the pass-through income features of a
partnership. Since MuniMae is classified as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, no recognition of income taxes is made at the corporate level (except
for income earned through subsidiaries of the Company organized as
corporations). Instead, the distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions
and credits is included in each shareholder's income tax return.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair
statement of the results for the periods presented. These results have been
determined on the basis of accounting principles and policies discussed in Note
1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002 (the "Company's 2002 Form 10-K"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or
omitted. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2002
Form 10-K. Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003
presentation.
The Company posts all Securities and Exchange Commission reports on their
website at http://www.mmafin.com. These reports are available free of charge.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("FAS 150").
FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify those financial instruments with certain
debt-like characteristics as liabilities. The scope of FAS 150 includes
financial instruments issued in the form of mandatorily redeemable shares. These
types of shares embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to
redeem them by transferring assets at a specified date. Management has
determined that the Company's preferred shareholders' equity in a subsidiary
company appears to fall within the scope of FAS 150. Therefore, the Company will
be required to reclassify its preferred shareholders' equity of $160.5 million
to the liability section of the consolidated balance sheets. In addition,
amounts currently classified as distributions paid to the preferred shareholders
will be recorded as interest expense. FAS 150 is effective for instruments held
by the Company at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 requires the consolidation of a Company's equity investment in a variable
interest entity ("VIE") if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and
if risks are not effectively dispersed among the owners of the VIE. The Company
is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the Company absorbs
the majority of the losses of the VIE. FIN 46 is effective for VIEs created
after January 31, 2003. For any VIE in which the Company held an interest that
it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for the first interim
reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is currently
reviewing the impact of FIN 46 on the tax credit syndication funds that a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company sponsors and asset manages, as well as
investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company
will continue to review new investments in order to determine if they should be
accounted for in accordance with FIN 46.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN TAX-EXEMPT BONDS
The Company originates investments in tax-exempt bonds and taxable loans
primarily to the affordable multifamily housing industry. Tax-exempt bonds are
issued by state and local government authorities to finance multifamily housing
developments or other real estate financings. The bonds are typically secured by
nonrecourse mortgage loans or tax levies on the underlying properties. The
Company's sources of capital to fund these lending activities include proceeds
from equity offerings, securitizations, and lines of credit. The Company earns
interest income from its investment in tax-exempt bonds and taxable loans. The
Company also earns origination and construction administration fees from
originating the bonds and servicing the bonds during the construction period.
For further discussion of the general terms of tax-exempt bonds see Note 1 to
the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company held $775.8 million
and $770.3 million of tax-exempt bonds, respectively. The following table
summarizes tax-exempt bonds by type.

============= ============= ============ ==============
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company invested in tax-exempt bonds
with a face amount of $4.6 million for $4.4 million. These investments represent
new primary investments (bonds which the Company originated).
The Company invested an additional $14.0 million in existing tax-exempt
draw down bonds with a face amount of $14.0 million. Since the end of 2002, the
Company has structured tax-exempt bonds that allow the borrower to make draws on
the bonds throughout the construction period. The initial draws on these bonds
have been reported as new primary investments in prior quarters.
In order to facilitate the securitization (see Note 1 to the Company's 2002
Form 10-K) of certain assets at higher leverage ratios than otherwise available,
the Company has pledged additional bonds as collateral for senior interests in
certain securitization trusts and credit enhancement facilities. At June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002, the total carrying amount of the tax-exempt bonds
pledged as collateral for such trusts and facilities was $360.7 million and
$372.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 3 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
The Company's loans receivable consist primarily of construction loans,
permanent loans, supplemental loans and other taxable loans. For further
discussion of the general terms of loans held by the Company and the allowance
for loan losses see the description of mortgage banking activities in Note 1 to
the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The following table summarizes loans receivable by
loan type at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

The Company has loans receivable held for sale of $11.0 million and $39.1
million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. These loans are
sold to Fannie Mae and third party conduit lenders. Due to the short time the
Company holds these loans, carrying value approximates fair value.
The Company pledges its construction loans, permanent loans and
supplemental loans as collateral for the Company's notes payable and line of
credit borrowings. In addition, in order to facilitate the securitization of
certain assets at higher leverage ratios than otherwise available, the Company
has pledged additional taxable loans to a pool that acts as collateral for
senior interests in certain securitization trusts and credit enhancement
facilities. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the total carrying amount of
the loans receivable pledged as collateral was $407.2 million and $417.1
million, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RESIDUAL INTERESTS IN BOND SECURITIZATIONS
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's residual interests in
bond securitizations are investments in Residual Interest Tax-Exempt Securities
Receipts ("RITESSM"). For further discussion of the Company's securitization
programs see Note 1 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The following table
provides certain information with respect to the residual interests in bond
securitizations held by the Company at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

(1) The amounts disclosed represent the fair values of all the Company's
investments in residual interests in bond securitizations at the reporting date.
(2) The aggregate negative fair value of the investments is included in
liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The negative fair value of these
investments is considered temporary and is not indicative of the future earnings
on these investments.
(3) The amount of outstanding Puttable Floating Option Tax-Exempt Receipts
("P-FloatsSM"), which are senior to the Company's RITESSM investments and which
are not reflected in the Company's balance sheet, was $190.2 million and $177.8
million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The Company purchased $13,000 of RITESSM for $0.8 million in the second
quarter of 2003. The Company also collapsed a $5,000 RITESSM position and placed
the related $27.3 million bond in the MBIA securitization program.
RITESSM Valuation Analysis
The fair value of a RITESSM investment is derived from the quote on the
underlying bond reduced by the outstanding corresponding P-FLOATsSM face amount.
The Company bases the fair value of the underlying bond, which has a limited
market, on quotes from external sources, such as brokers, for these or similar
bonds. The fair value of the underlying bond includes a prepayment risk factor.
The prepayment risk factor is reflected in the fair value of the bond by
assuming the bond will prepay at the most adverse time to the Company given
current market rates and estimates of future market rates. Based on this, an
adverse change in prepayment risk would not have an effect on the fair value of
the Company's RITESSM investments. In addition, the RITESSM investments are not
subject to prepayment risk as the term of the securitization trusts is only for
a period during which the underlying bond cannot be prepaid. Based on historical
experience, credit losses were estimated to be zero.
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, a 10% and 20% adverse change in key
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's RITESSM would have
the following impact.
(000s) June 30, 2003 December 31, 2002
------------- -----------------
Fair value of retained interests, net $11,756 $9,592
Residual cash flows discount rate (annual rate) 3.1% - 8.5% 3.8% - 8.1%
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change ($8,406) ($9,108)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change ($16,109) ($17,444)
The sensitivity analysis presented above is hypothetical in nature and
presented for information purposes only. The analysis shows the effect on fair
value of a variation in one assumption and is calculated without considering the
effect of changes in any other assumption. In reality, changes in one assumption
may affect the others, which may magnify or offset the sensitivities.
NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's investments in
derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps and put option
contracts. For further discussion of the Company's investment in derivative
financial instruments see Note 6 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The Company
terminated swap contracts with a total notional amount of $105.7 million ($319.4
million in swap contracts and $213.6 million in reverse swap contracts). In
addition, a swap contract with a notional amount of $13.1 million expired in the
second quarter of 2003. The following table provides certain information with
respect to the derivative financial instruments held by the Company at June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002.

amount of the Company's interest rate swap contracts ($265,935 as of June 30,
2003 and $598,415 as of December 31, 2002) less the total amount of the
Company's reverse interest rate swap contracts ($34,960 as of June 30, 2003 and
$248,605 as of December 31, 2002). For put option agreements, the notional
amount represents the Company's aggregate obligation under the put option
agreements.
(2) The amounts disclosed represent the net fair values of all the Company's
derivatives at the reporting date.
(3) The aggregate negative fair value of the investments is included in
liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The negative fair value of these
investments is considered temporary and is not indicative of the future earnings
on these investments.
NOTE 6 - OTHER ASSETS
The Company's investment in other assets includes prepaid expenses, other
receivables, debt issue costs, property and equipment, and certain investments
in interest-only securities. Included in the other asset balance at June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002 is $9.5 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of
receivables due from various syndicated low-income housing tax credit funds (for
further discussion of syndicated low-income housing tax credit funds, see Note 1
to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K). The decrease in this receivable from December
31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 is due to certain funds repaying the Company after
obtaining an alternative source of financing.
NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBT
The Company's notes payable consist primarily of notes payable and advances
under line of credit arrangements, which are used to: (1) finance construction
lending needs; (2) finance working capital needs; (3) warehouse real estate
operating partnerships before they are placed into tax credit equity funds; and
(4) warehouse permanent loans before they are sold. The Company's short- and
long-term debt relates to securitization transactions that the Company has
recorded as borrowings (see Notes 1 and 9 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K). The
following table summarizes notes payable and debt at June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002.

Covenant Compliance
Under the terms of the various credit facilities, the Company is required
to comply with covenants including net worth, interest coverage, collateral and
other terms and conditions. The Company was in compliance with its debt
covenants at June 30, 2003.
NOTE 8 - GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
For discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies see Note 11
to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. Since December 31, 2002, there has been no
material change to the information related to commitments and contingencies.
Guarantees
The Company's maximum exposure under its guarantee obligations is not
indicative of the likelihood of the expected loss under the guarantees. The
Company recognizes contingent liabilities on guarantees when the losses are
probable and can be reasonably estimated.
The following table summarizes the Company's guarantees by type at June 30,
2003.

$ 664.8 $ 1.7
============= ==========
Notes:
(1) As a Fannie Mae DUS lender and Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA") loan servicer, the Company may share in losses relating to
underperforming real estate mortgage loans delivered to Fannie Mae and
GNMA. More specifically, if the borrower fails to make a payment on a DUS
loan originated by the Company and sold to Fannie Mae, of principal,
interest, taxes or insurance premiums, the Company may be required to make
servicing advances to Fannie Mae. Also, the Company may participate in a
deficiency after foreclosure on DUS and GNMA loans. As a DUS lender, the
Company must maintain a minimum net worth and collateral with a custodian.
The term of the loss sharing agreement is based on the contractual
requirements of the underlying loans delivered to Fannie Mae and GNMA,
which varies to a maximum of 40 years.
(2) The Company provides payment or performance guarantees for certain
borrowings under line of credit facilities with a term of 1 year or less.
(3) The Company acquires and sells interests in partnerships that provide
low-income housing tax credits for investors. In conjunction with the sale
of these partnership interests, the Company may provide performance
guarantees on the underlying properties owned by the partnerships or
guarantees to the fund investors. These guarantees have various expirations
to a maximum term of 18 years.
(4) The Company has entered into arrangements that require the Company to make
payment in the event a specified third party fails to perform on its
financial obligation. The Company typically provides these guarantees in
conjunction with the sale of an asset to a third party or the Company's
investment in equity ventures. The term of the guarantee varies based on
loan payoff schedules or Company divestitures.
(5) The Company has entered into put option agreements with counterparties
whereby the counterparty has the right to sell to the Company, and the
Company has the obligation to buy, an underlying investment at a specified
price. These put option agreements expire at various dates between February
1, 2006 and April 1, 2007.
(6) The Company provides a guarantee of the repayment on losses incurred under
letters of credit issued by third parties or provide a guarantee to provide
substitute letters of credit at a predetermined future date. In addition,
the Company may provide a payment guarantee for certain assets in
securitization programs. These guarantees expire at various dates between
March 1, 2004 and September 1, 2017.
(7) The Company has entered into indemnification contracts, which require the
guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an
underlying investment that is related to an asset or liability of the
guaranteed party. These agreements typically require the Company to
reimburse the guaranteed party for legal and other costs in the event of an
adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to
a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. The
term of the indemnification varies based on the underlying program life,
loan payoffs, or Company divestitures. Based on the terms of the underlying
contracts, the maximum exposure amount only includes amounts that can be
reasonably estimated at this time; the actual exposure amount could vary
significantly.
NOTE 9 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In April 2003, the Company acquired a property by deed in lieu of
foreclosure. This property previously served as collateral for a tax-exempt bond
held by the Company. In June 2003, the Company sold the property for net
proceeds of $38.1 million. The Company used the proceeds to terminate interest
rate swaps (see Note 5 for further discussion) and to purchase third party
P-FloatsSM. The P-FloatsSM replaced the tax-exempt bond as collateral with
Merrill Lynch. All activity related to this property has been classified as
discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income. The following
table summarizes the components of discontinued operations.

NOTE 10 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators in the basic
and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculations for common shares for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The effect of all potentially
dilutive securities was included in the calculation. The Company did not have
any options to purchase common shares that were not included in the computation
of diluted EPS at June 30, 2003 or 2002 due to options' exercise prices being
greater than the average price of the common shares for the period.

NOTE 11 - DISTRIBUTIONS
On July 17, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.4475
for the three months ended June 30, 2003, to common shareholders of record on
July 28, 2003. The payment date was August 8, 2003.
NOTE 12 - NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' SHARE PLANS AND EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company accounts for both the non-employee director share plans and the
employee share incentive plans (see Note 1 and Note 15 to the Company's 2002
Form 10-K) under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the options issued
under the plans during the second quarter of 2003. The Company issued 7,000
options in the first quarter of 2003 and 30,000 options in the second quarter of
2003. The Company issued 30,000 options in the second quarter of 2002. The
Company estimated the fair value of each option awarded using the Black Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions.

NOTE 14 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
See Note 14 of the Company's 2002 Form 10-K for a detailed description of
the Company's related party transactions. Except as disclosed below, there has
been no material change since December 31, 2002 to the information related to
related party transactions.
In June 2003, the Company received approximately $0.8 million in cash and a
34.1% limited partnership interest in SCA Associates 86-II Limited Partnership
("SCA86-II") from SCA Custodial Co., Inc. ("SCAC"). The general partner of
SCA86-II is Shelter Development Holdings, Inc. ("Shelter Holdings"). Mr. Mark K.
Joseph, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of
Directors, controls and is an officer of Shelter Holdings. Mr. Joseph also owns
a 20.8% limited partnership interest in SCA86-II. In addition, Mr. Michael L.
Falcone, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, owns a 3% limited
partnership interest in SCA86-II. SCAC is indirectly wholly owned by The Shelter
Policy Institute, Inc., which is controlled by Mr. Joseph.
The cash received by the Company was recorded as other income in the
consolidated statements of income and is an accumulation of distributions from
the 34.1% limited partnership interest in SCA86-II. SCA86-II's sole asset is
shares of the Company. Therefore, the shares allocated to the Company's interest
in SCA86-II are classified as treasury shares on the consolidated balance
sheets. The partnership interest was held by SCAC as collateral for guaranteed
obligations related to a tax-exempt bond held by the Company. In April 2003, the
Company acquired the property that collateralized this bond by deed in lieu of
foreclosure and subsequently sold the property to a third party (See Note 9).
The sale of the property fulfilled all remaining guaranteed obligations and
allowed the release of the collateral held by SCAC.
The Company no longer leases office space from an affiliate due to the sale
of the building to a third party in February 2003.
NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 1, 2003, the Company acquired Housing and Community Investment
("HCI"), the tax credit equity unit of Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, for
$102 million in cash. The acquisition was financed by a $120 million secured
term credit facility provided by a syndicate of banks led by the Royal Bank of
Canada. HCI is a market leading syndicator of low income tax credit equity
investments. In connection with this acquisition, the Company's operating
subsidiary, MuniMae Midland, LLC, has been renamed MMA Financial, LLC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------
General Business
The Company provides debt and equity financing to developers of multifamily
housing. The Company invests in tax-exempt bonds, or interests in bonds, issued
by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to finance
multifamily housing developments. Interest income derived from the majority of
these bond investments is exempt income for federal income tax purposes.
Multifamily housing developments, as well as the rents paid by the tenants,
secure these investments.
The Company is also a mortgage banker. Mortgage banking activities include
the origination, investment in and servicing of investments in multifamily
housing, both for its own account and on behalf of third parties. These
investments generate taxable income.
The Company also invests in (1) other housing-related debt and equity
investments, including equity investments in income-producing real estate
operating partnerships and tax-exempt bonds, or interests in bonds, secured by
student housing or assisted living developments, and (2) tax-exempt community
development bonds, typically secured by special taxes imposed on single-family
or other community development districts or by assessments imposed on the
residents or other lot owners of those developments.
The Company also acquires and sells interests in partnerships that provide
low-income housing tax credits for investors. The Company earns syndication fees
on the placement of these interests with investors, including Fannie Mae and a
number of corporate investors. The Company also earns asset management fees for
managing the low-income housing tax credit funds syndicated.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's sources of capital to fund its tax-exempt bond lending
activities include proceeds from equity offerings, securitizations, and draws on
lines of credit. The Company's sources of capital to fund its mortgage banking
activities include (1) warehousing facilities and short-term lines of credit
with commercial banks and pension funds, (2) debt and equity financings, either
through the Midland Affordable Housing Group Trust or the Midland Multifamily
Equity REIT ("MMER"), and (3) working capital.
The Company relies on the regular availability of capital from pension
funds, government sponsored entities ("GSEs"), equity offerings, bank lines of
credit and securitization transactions to finance its growth. The Company
expects to meet its cash needs in the short-term, which consist primarily of
funding of new investments, payment of distributions to shareholders and funding
of mortgage banking activities, from equity offering proceeds, cash on hand and
bank lines of credit. To continue to grow these activities, the Company will
need to increase its access to capital in 2003 and future years. The Company
expects it will need $100 to $200 million in new capital to meet its 2003
production targets for its lending and tax credit equity businesses. The
Company's February 2003 equity offering generated net proceeds of $71.9 million
to satisfy a portion of the new capital needed. The Company has also increased
its borrowing capacity on two existing lines of credit by a total of $126
million. In addition, the Company is seeking to establish relationships with
additional pension funds and to expand its relationships with GSEs. If the
Company is unable to secure the remaining additional capital needed during 2003,
its production targets may decrease by $130 to $225 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company structured $65.7
million in tax-exempt bond transactions. This includes both construction and
permanent transactions because, although they relate to the same loans, the
Company counts them as separate loans for consistency with tracking of taxable
lending, where construction and permanent loans are legally distinct loans. In
addition, the Company originated $94.0 million of construction loans, $118.4
million of permanent loans and $7.7 million of supplemental loans. The Company
also closed $38.1 million for investment in syndicated tax credit equity funds
and originated $46.9 million of conventional market rate equity transactions.
Since December 31, 2002, there has been no material change to the
information related to the Company's liquidity and capital resources except as
discussed below.
Pension Funds
MMER is a Maryland real estate investment trust established by a group of
pension funds that the Company has had relationships with for over twenty-five
years. During the second quarter of 2003, MMER received an additional $7 million
in share subscriptions. Of this additional subscription amount, $2 million was
from a pension fund that the Company had not had a relationship with in the
past, which brought the total number of investors in MMER to five.
Lines of Credit
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company expanded the capacity of a
general bank line of credit used to fund supplemental loans from $4 million to
$30 million. In addition, the Company expanded a loan warehousing line from $100
million to $200 million. The uses of this line were also expanded to include
warehousing of tax-exempt bonds, new construction loans and pre-development
loans. In addition, the Company's mortgage servicing rights have been added as a
source of collateral.
Leverage
The Company's leverage ratio was 51.7% and 55.8% at June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively. This leverage ratio is based on total debt
(notes payable, short- and long-term debt) divided by the Company's total
capitalization (notes payable, short- and long-term debt, preferred
shareholders' and minority interests' equity in subsidiary companies, and
shareholders' equity). Management includes short-term debt in this calculation
because of the importance of short-term debt to the Company's management of its
overall cost of capital. It should be noted that this leverage ratio is one of
many ways to measure leverage. For example, as of June 30, 2003, this ratio
excludes $257.5 million of securitization interests that are senior to the
Company's investments that were previously accounted for as sales and includes
$183.5 million of construction loans where the economic risk belongs to a third
party.
The Company will continue to try to maintain overall leverage ratios in the
50% to 65% range, with certain assets at significantly higher ratios, up to
approximately 99%, and other assets not leveraged at all.
Factors that Could Affect Future Results
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's factors that could affect future results. There has been no material
change since December 31, 2002 to the information related to factors that could
affect future results.
Acquisition of Housing and Community Investment Unit of Lend Lease Real Estate
Investments
On July 1, 2003, the Company acquired Housing and Community Investment
("HCI"), the tax credit equity unit of Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, for
$102 million in cash. The acquisition was financed by a $120 million secured
term credit facility provided by a syndicate of banks led by the Royal Bank of
Canada. HCI is a market leading syndicator of low income tax credit equity
investments. In connection with this acquisition, the Company's operating
subsidiary, MuniMae Midland, LLC, has been renamed MMA Financial, LLC.
Contractual Obligations
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a description of the Company's
material contractual obligations. Except as disclosed below, there has been no
material change since December 31, 2002 to the information related to
contractual obligations.
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company entered into an operating
lease for 21,283 square feet of new office space. The initial term of the lease
is ten years commencing October 1, 2003. Rent will be charged at the rate of
$25.20 per square foot with an escalation of 3% per year.
Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a summary of the Company's guarantees
and off-balance sheet arrangements. Since December 31, 2002, there has been no
material change to the information related to guarantees and off-balance sheet
obligations. See Note 8 for a table that summarizes the Company's guarantees by
type as of June 30, 2003.
Dividend Policy and Cash Available for Distribution
Consistent with its strategy of maximizing shareholder value through steady
increases in cash distributions to shareholders, the Company uses cash available
for distribution ("CAD") as a primary measure of its ability to pay
distributions. The Company believes CAD is the most relevant measure of its
ability to pay distributions, as CAD is a measure of current earnings. The
Company uses this measure of current earnings as a basis for declaring its
quarterly distributions.
CAD differs from net income because of variations between GAAP income and
actual cash received. There are three primary differences between CAD and GAAP
income. The first is the treatment of loan origination fees, which for CAD
purposes are recognized as income when received but for GAAP purposes are
amortized into income over the life of the associated investment. The second
difference is the non-cash gain and loss recognized for GAAP associated with
valuations, sales of investments and capitalization and amortization of mortgage
servicing rights, which are not included in the calculation of CAD. The third
difference is the treatment of the Company's investments in partnerships. For
GAAP, the Company records its allocable share of the income (loss) from the
partnership as income, while for CAD reporting, the Company records the cash
distributions it receives from the partnership as income.
Since the first quarter of 2002, when the Company completed the redemption
of preferred shares and term growth shares, the Company's entire net cash flow
has been available for distribution to the common shares. The Company's current
policy is to distribute to common shareholders at least 80% of its annual CAD to
common shares. The table below shows the Company's CAD available to common
shares, CAD per common share, dividend per common share and payout ratio for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Notes
(1) For GAAP reporting, the Company records the non-cash change in fair value of
its investment in interest rate swaps and other derivative financial instruments
through net income. These non-cash gains and losses are not included in the
Company's calculation of CAD.
(2) For GAAP reporting, the Company accounts for various investments in
partnerships using the equity accounting method. As a result, the Company's
allocable share of the income or loss from the partnerships is reported in
income (losses) from equity investments in partnerships. The income from these
partnerships includes depreciation expense and changes in the fair value of
investments in derivatives. For GAAP reporting, distributions are treated as a
return of capital. For CAD reporting, the Company records the cash distributions
it receives from the partnerships as other income. In addition, a portion of the
income or loss from partnerships is reduced by a minority interest for both GAAP
and CAD.
(3) For GAAP reporting, the Company recognizes non-cash gains and losses
associated with the sale of assets or capitalization of mortgage servicing
rights. The capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized into expense
over the estimated life of the serviced loans. The non-cash gains and the
associated amortization expense are not included in CAD.
(4) Origination fees and certain other income amounts are recognized as income
when received for CAD purposes, but for GAAP reporting these items are deferred
and amortized into income over the life of the associated investment. This
adjustment represents the net difference, for the relevant period, between fees
taken into income when received for CAD and the amortization of fees recorded
for GAAP.
(5) For GAAP reporting, the Company records valuation allowances and
other-than-temporary impairments on its investments in loans, bonds and other
bond-related investments. Such non-cash charges do not affect the cash flow
generated from the operation of the underlying properties, distributions to
shareholders, or the tax-exempt status of the income of the financial obligation
under the bonds. Therefore, these items are not included in the calculation of
CAD.
(6) For GAAP reporting, the Company's income tax expense contains both a current
and a deferred component. Only the Company's current income tax expense is
reflected in CAD.
(7) For GAAP reporting, the Company recognized a gain upon the sale of a
property. This gain was required to be classified as discontinued operations
because the Company owned the property prior to the sale. For CAD reporting, the
gain was significantly less due to recording a portion of the proceeds as
interest income. In addition, the carrying value of the tax-exempt bond
associated with the property was significantly more for CAD due to an impairment
of $12.4 million previously recognized for GAAP.
The calculation of CAD is the basis for the determination of the Company's
quarterly distributions to common shares, is used by securities analysts, and is
presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. The
calculation is not approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission nor is it
required by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as
an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes that CAD provides relevant
information about its operations and is necessary, along with net income, for
understanding its operating results.

syndication fees due to a decrease in the volume of syndications closed combined
with taking $0.5 million in organizational and offering cost reimbursements
related to closed syndicated tax credit equity funds into income during the
first quarter of 2002, whereas no such fees were recognized during 2003.

Net Holding Gains on Derivatives
The Company recorded net holding losses for mark-to-market adjustments on
derivative financial instruments of $2.4 million and $7.7 million for the
quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This $5.3 million decrease
is due primarily to the termination of interest rate swaps with a total notional
amount of $105.7 million.
The Company recorded net holding gains of $0.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 for mark-to-market adjustments on derivative financial
instruments, which was a $5.0 million decrease from the $4.6 million of losses
recorded in 2002. This $5.0 million decrease is due primarily to the termination
of interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $105.7 million.
Impairments and Valuation Allowances Related to Investments
In accordance with the Company's valuation and impairment policies, the
Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments and valuation allowances
totaling $1.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The impairments
included a $0.7 million impairment on a bond with a face amount of $19.5 million
and $0.4 million of impairments on three taxable loans with total face amounts

during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The impairments included a $0.7
million impairment on a bond with a face amount of $19.5 million and $0.4

Net Losses from Equity Investments in Partnerships
Net losses from equity investments in partnerships increased by $1.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period last
year due primarily to: (1) $0.4 million in losses generated from investments in
real estate operating partnerships that are being warehoused before transfer to
syndicated tax credit equity funds; and (2) a $1.3 million increase in losses
from an investment in income-producing real estate operating partnerships and
related swap partnerships. While these investments generate cash flow to the
Company in the form of quarterly distributions, on a GAAP basis they generate a
net loss due to non-cash adjustments for depreciation and mark-to-market
adjustments related to the swap partnerships. The mark-to-market adjustments
cause volatility in the losses that are recorded.
Net losses from equity investments in partnerships increased by $2.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period last
year due primarily to: (1) $0.9 million in losses generated from investments in

syndicated tax credit equity funds; and (2) a $1.2 million increase in losses
from an investment in income-producing real estate operating partnerships and
related swap partnerships.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 decreased $1.4
million compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due primarily to
a decrease in net income within the operating segment, which contains
corporations that are subject to income taxes.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $2.3
million compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due primarily to
a decrease in net income within the operating segment, which contains
corporations that are subject to income taxes.
Income Allocable to Preferred Shareholders and Minority Interests in Subsidiary
Companies
Income allocable to preferred shareholders in a subsidiary company remained
the same for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to

by $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the quarter ended and six months ended June
30, 2003, respectively. This expense was not present during 2002.
Discontinued Operations

deed in lieu of foreclosure. This property previously served as collateral for a
tax-exempt bond held by the Company. The Company sold the property for net
proceeds of $38.1 million, which resulted in a $26.8 million gain. The $26.8
million gain and $1.0 million of losses from operations of the property were
classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's critical accounting policies and estimates. Since December 31, 2002,
there has been no material change to the information related to critical
accounting policies and estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("FAS 150").
FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify those financial instruments with certain
debt-like characteristics as liabilities. The scope of FAS 150 includes
financial instruments issued in the form of mandatorily redeemable shares. These
types of shares embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to
redeem them by transferring assets at a specified date. Management has
determined that the Company's preferred shareholders' equity in a subsidiary
company appears to fall within the scope of FAS 150. Therefore, the Company will
be required to reclassify its preferred shareholders' equity of $160.5 million
to the liability section of the consolidated balance sheets. In addition,
amounts currently classified as distributions paid to the preferred shareholders
will be recorded as interest expense. FAS 150 is effective for instruments held
by the Company at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 requires the consolidation of a Company's equity investment in a variable
interest entity ("VIE") if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and
if risks are not effectively dispersed among the owners of the VIE. The Company
is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the Company absorbs
the majority of the losses of the VIE. FIN 46 is effective for VIEs created
after January 31, 2003. For any VIE in which the Company held an interest that
it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for the first interim
reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is currently
reviewing the impact of FIN 46 on the tax credit syndication funds that a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company sponsors and asset manages, as well as
investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company
will continue to review new investments in order to determine if they should be
accounted for in accordance with FIN 46.
Related Party Transactions
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's related party transactions. Except as disclosed below, there has been
no material change since December 31, 2002 to the information related to related
party transactions.
In June 2003, the Company received approximately $0.8 million in cash and a
34.1% limited partnership interest in SCA Associates 86-II Limited Partnership
("SCA86-II") from SCA Custodial Co., Inc. ("SCAC"). The general partner of
SCA86-II is Shelter Development Holdings, Inc. ("Shelter Holdings"). Mr. Mark K.
Joseph, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of
Directors, controls and is an officer of Shelter Holdings. Mr. Joseph also owns
a 20.8% limited partnership interest in SCA86-II. In addition, Mr. Michael L.
Falcone, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, owns a 3% limited
partnership interest in SCA86-II. SCAC is indirectly wholly owned by The Shelter
Policy Institute, Inc., which is controlled by Mr. Joseph.
The cash received by the Company was recorded as other income in the
consolidated statements of income and is an accumulation of distributions from
the 34.1% limited partnership interest in SCA86-II. SCA86-II's sole asset is
shares of the Company. Therefore, the shares allocated to the Company's interest
in SCA86-II are classified as treasury shares on the consolidated balance
sheets. The partnership interest was held by SCAC as collateral for guaranteed
obligations related to a tax-exempt bond held by the Company. In April 2003, the
Company acquired the property that collateralized this bond by deed in lieu of
foreclosure and subsequently sold the property to a third party (See Note 9).
The sale of the property fulfilled all remaining guaranteed obligations and
allowed the release of the collateral held by SCAC.
The Company no longer leases office space from an affiliate due to the sale
of the building to a third party in February 2003.
Income Tax Considerations
MuniMae is organized as a limited liability company. This structure allows
MuniMae to combine the limited liability, governance and management
characteristics of a corporation with the pass-through income features of a
partnership. Therefore, the distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions
and credits is included in each shareholder's income tax return. In addition,
the tax-exempt income derived from certain investments remains tax-exempt when
it is passed through to the shareholders. MuniMae records cash dividends
received from subsidiaries organized as corporations as dividend income for tax
purposes. Shareholders' distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions and
credits are reported to shareholders on Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1.
While the bulk of the Company's recurring interest income is tax-exempt,
from time to time the Company may sell or securitize various assets, which may
result in capital gains and losses for tax purposes. Since the Company is taxed
as a partnership, these capital gains and losses are passed through to
shareholders and are reported on each shareholder's Schedule K-1. Until January
1, 2003, the Company had elected under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code
to adjust the tax basis of the Company's property on the transfer of shares to
reflect the price each shareholder paid for its shares. As a result, for shares
purchased prior to January 1, 2003, the capital gain and loss allocated to those
shares may be different for each shareholder due to the Company's Section 754
election and will depend on, among other things, the timing of the shareholder's
purchase of the shares, the timing of transactions that generate gains or losses
for the Company and the difference (the "Basis Difference") between the
Company's tax basis in its property and a shareholder's tax basis in the shares.
This means that for assets purchased by the Company prior to a shareholder's
purchase of shares, the shareholder's basis in the assets may be significantly
different than the Company's basis in those same assets. Although the procedure
for allocating the basis adjustment is complex, the result of the election is
that each share is homogeneous, while each shareholder's basis in the assets of
the Company may be different. Consequently, the capital gains and losses
allocated to individual shareholders may be significantly different than the
capital gains and losses recorded by the Company.
In January 2003, the Company applied to have its election under Section 754
of the Internal Revenue Code revoked. The Company applied for this revocation
due to the increasing administrative burden attributable to this election
resulting from the increased numbers of common shareholders and the increasing
frequency both of events generating capital gain or loss and of purchases and
sales of common shares.
In May 2003, the Internal Revenue Service approved the Company's
application to revoke its election under Section 754 for the Company's tax year
ending December 31, 2003. As a result, for common shares purchased on or after
January 1, 2003, the capital gain and loss allocated from the Company will be
based on their pro-rata share of the Company's gain and loss allocated without
regard to the Basis Difference. In other words, for shares purchased prior to
January 1, 2003, portions of the Basis Difference may from time to time be
recognized and reported on the shareholder's Schedule K-1 as and when the
Company's assets are sold. While for shares purchased on or after January 1,
2003, the Basis Difference will be eliminated when the shareholder sells the
shares.
This change in the method of calculating the Company's tax basis in its
assets could result in the shareholder being allocated more or less income in
any given year than he or she would have received if the Section 754 election
remained in place; however, it is difficult to predict the precise impact of the
change for individual shareholders. The revocation of the Company's 754 election
may result in shareholders who purchase shares on or after January 1, 2003,
experiencing a difference in the overall character of income allocated or
recognized.
A portion of the Company's interest income is derived from private activity
bonds that for income tax purposes are considered tax preference items for
purposes of alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). AMT is a mechanism within the
Internal Revenue Code to ensure that all taxpayers pay at least a minimum amount
of taxes. All taxpayers are subject to the AMT calculation requirements although
the majority of taxpayers will not actually pay AMT. As a result of AMT, the
percentage of the Company's income that is exempt from federal income tax may be
different for each shareholder depending on that shareholder's individual tax
situation.
The Company has numerous corporate subsidiaries that are subject to income
taxes. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS
109"). FAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Since December 31, 2002 there has been no material change to the
information included in Item 7A of the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
-------------------------------
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-14(c)
and 15d-14(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days before the filing of this
quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"), and they have concluded that, as of
the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective at ensuring
that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports
filed under the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in internal controls
We maintain a system of internal accounting controls that are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our
transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2003, there were no significant changes to our
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our
internal controls.
