                          Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Organization
     ------------

     Capital Alliance Income Trust Ltd., A Real Estate Investment Trust (the
     "Trust"), a Delaware corporation, invests primarily in mortgage loans
     secured by real estate. The Trust was formed December 12, 1995 as a
     mortgage investment trust, which invests primarily in loans secured by
     deeds of trust on one-to-four unit residential properties as the loan's
     primary collateral.

     The Trust acquired an investment in Capital Alliance Funding Corporation
     ("CAFC"), a taxable subsidiary, during the second quarter of 1997. The
     investment in CAFC is accounted for by the equity method and its financial
     statements are not consolidated with those of the Trust. The Trust holds
     100% of the non-voting preferred stock of CAFC with a 99% economic interest
     in CAFC. CAFC acquires loans for sale, secured by deeds of trust on
     one-to-four unit residential property as the loan's primary collateral. The
     investment in CAFC is reported in "Investment in affiliate" on the Trust's
     balance sheets and in "Equity in gain (loss) of affiliates" in the Trust's
     statement of operations. CAFC's balance sheets and statements of operations
     are summarized in Note 10. References herein to the "Company" refer to the
     Trust and CAFC, collectively

     Capital Alliance Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") originates, services and
     sells the Trust's and CAFC's loans.

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies and nature of operations
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

     Basis of presentation. The accompanying financial statements as of June 30,
     2003 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and on the same
     basis as the annual financial statements and, in our opinion, reflect all
     adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
     a fair presentation of such financial statements. These financial
     statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited
     financial statements included in the Trust's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
     December 31, 2002. The results for the three and six months ended June 30,
     2003 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the year
     ended December 31, 2003.

     Basis of accounting. The Company prepares its financial statements on the
     accrual basis of accounting consistent with accounting principles generally
     accepted in the United States of America. The Trust's year-end for tax and
     financial reporting purposes is December 31.

     Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
     the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and
     liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The
     Company deposits cash in financial institutions insured by the Federal
     Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Trust's account balances may
     exceed the insured limits.

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies and nature of operations
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
     (continued)

     Marketable securities. Marketable securities are classified as either
     trading, or available-for-sale. Management has not acquired any securities
     positions classified as trading securities. Trading securities, if
     acquired, would be reported at fair value, and changes in their fair value
     would be reported in the statement of operations. Available-for-sale
     securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
     excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive
     income. Realized gains and losses on sales of both trading and
     available-for-sale securities are determined on an average cost basis and
     are reported in the statement of operations.

     Concentration of credit risk. The Company assumes certain risks inherent in
     the numerous mortgage notes receivable held, including, but not limited to,
     credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, market
     value risk, and capital risk. The mortgage notes are secured by deeds of
     trust on residential properties located primarily in California, which
     results in a concentration of credit risk. The value of the loan portfolio
     may be affected by changes in the economy or other conditions of the
     geographical area. The Trust seeks to actively manage such risks while also
     providing the stockholders an appropriate rate of return for such risks.
     There can be no assurances that such risks and uncertainties are adequately
     provided for in the financial statements. The Trust has prepared the
     financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
     accepted in the United States and in an effort to properly present the
     risks taken.

     Allowance for losses. Management reviews its allowance for losses provision
     periodically and the Company maintains an allowance for losses on mortgage
     notes receivable at an amount that management believes is sufficient to
     protect against potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
     Company's actual losses may differ from the estimate. Accounts receivable
     deemed uncollectible are written off. The Company does not accrue interest
     income on impaired loans.

     Real estate owned. Real estate owned results from foreclosure of mortgage
     notes receivable and at time of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of
     carrying amount or fair value of the property minus estimated costs to
     sell. Subsequent to foreclosure, the foreclosed asset value is periodically
     reviewed and is adjusted to fair value. No depreciation is taken on the
     real estate owned. Income and expenses related to real estate owned are
     recorded as rental income, interest expense and operating expenses of real
     estate owned in the statements of operations.

     Investments. The Trust owns 100% of the non-voting preferred shares and has
     a 99% economic interest in CAFC. As the Trust does not own the voting
     common shares of CAFC or control CAFC, its investment in CAFC is presented
     by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, original equity
     investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Trust's share of
     earnings or losses and decreased by dividends received (Note 10).

     Origination costs. Origination costs relating to mortgage notes receivable
     are capitalized and amortized over the term of the mortgage notes
     receivable.

     Impairment policy. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
     "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS
     144), requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of be measured at the
     lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell.

     The Trust reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
     changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
     recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison

     of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to
     be generated and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition. If
     the long-lived asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
     recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds
     the fair value as determined from an appraisal, discounted cash flow
     analysis, or other valuation technique. There were no impairment losses
     recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

     Fair value of financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, the
     carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For mortgage notes
     receivable, fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
     using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to
     borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
     maturities. It was determined that the difference between the carrying
     amount and the fair value of the mortgage notes receivable is immaterial.
     For loans payable, fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash
     flows using current interest rates as determined by the Trust's current
     borrowing rates. It was determined that the difference between the carrying
     amount and the fair value of loans payable is immaterial.

     Income taxes. The Trust intends at all times to qualify as a real estate
     investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes, under Sections
     856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
     applicable Treasury Regulations. Therefore, the Trust generally will not be
     subject to federal corporate income taxes if the Trust distributes at least
     90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. To qualify as a REIT, the
     Trust must elect to be so treated and must meet on a continuing basis
     certain requirements relating to the Trust's organization, sources of
     income, nature of assets, and distribution of income to stockholders. The
     Trust must maintain certain records and request certain information from
     its stockholders designed to disclose actual ownership of its stock.

     In addition the Trust must satisfy certain gross income requirements
     annually and certain asset tests at the close of each quarter of its
     taxable year.

     If the Trust fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year,
     and the relief provisions do not apply, the Trust will be subject to tax on
     its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to
     stockholders in any year in which the Trust fails to qualify will not be
     deductible by the Trust nor will they be required to be made. Unless
     entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the Trust will also
     be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years
     following the year during which qualification was lost.

     Based on the Trust's belief that it has operated in a manner so as to allow
     it to be taxed as a REIT since inception, no provision for federal income
     taxes has been made in the financial statements. For the three and
     six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the dividends paid per
     Preferred Share and Common are allocated 100% as ordinary income.

     State taxes. The state of Delaware imposes a tax on the capitalization of
     the Trust. Each year, the Trust also incurs a franchise tax from the state
     of California.

     -------------------------------------------------------------------
    (continued)
    -----------

     for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for
     stock-based compensation and requires prominent disclosures in both annual
     and interim financial statements about the method used on reported results.
     The alternative methods of transition of SFAS 148 follows Accounting
     Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to
     Employees", in accounting for stock options to employees.

     Revenue recognition. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis of
     accounting in accordance with the terms of the loans. When the payment of
     principal or interest is 90 or more days past due, management reviews the
     likelihood that the loan will be repaid. For these delinquent loans,
     management continues to record interest income and establishes a loan loss
     reserve as necessary to protect against losses in the loan portfolio
     including accrued interest. However, if the mortgage's collateral is
     considered insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance, after estimated
     foreclosure and selling costs, interest is not accrued.

     Reclassifications. Certain 2002 amounts may have been reclassified to
     conform to the 2003 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on
     reported net income or earnings per share.

     Recent accounting pronouncements. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
     "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The objective of this
     interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable
     interest entity and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling
     interests and results of operation of a variable interest entity need to be
     included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A company that
     holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity
     if the company's interest in the variable interest entity is such that the
     company will absorb a majority of the variable interest entity's expected
     losses and/or receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns.
     The provisions of this interpretation became effective upon issuance. FIN
     46 may require consolidation of CAFC into the Trust's financial statements
     commencing with the Trust's January 1, 2004 reporting period.

3.   Restricted cash and mortgage note holdbacks
     -------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to mortgage loan agreements between the Company and its borrowers,
     a portion of the proceeds are held by the Company in segregated accounts to
     be disbursed to borrowers upon completion of improvements on the secured
     property.

4.   Marketable securities
     ---------------------

     Marketable securities consist of equity securities and are accounted for as
     available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded
     from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

5.   Accounts receivable
     -------------------

     Accounts receivable consists primarily of accrued interest on mortgage
     notes receivable and other amounts due from borrowers.

6.   Warehousing facilities to related parties
     -----------------------------------------

     The Trust entered into a loan purchase agreement on December 12, 1997 with
     CAFC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Trust advances funds to CAFC to
     acquire mortgage loans secured by real estate. The Trust then acquires all
     of CAFC's right, title and interest in such loans. CAFC is obligated to
     reacquire the loans from the Trust at a preset price. As of June 30, 2003
     and December 31, 2002, the Trust advanced to CAFC $5,696,357 and
     $3,382,940, respectively. The interest rate on this line of credit varies
     with market conditions and is payable monthly. As of June 30, 2003 and
     December 31, 2002 the applicable interest rate was 6.0%. During the three
     and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Trust earned interest in
     the amount of $55,354 and $59,414 and $86,050 and $118,619, respectively.

     The Trust entered into a loan purchase agreement on January 1, 1998 with
     Calliance Mortgage Trust, which subsequently merged into the Mortgage
     Division of Calliance Realty Fund, LLC ("CRF") on May 30, 2000. Under the
     terms of the agreement, the Trust advances funds to CRF to acquire mortgage
     loans secured by real estate. The Trust then acquires all of CRF's right,
     title and interest in such loans. CRF is obligated to reacquire the loans
     from the Trust at a preset price. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31,
     2002, CRF owed the Trust $0. Annual interest on this line of credit is
     between 7.0% and 12.0% and is payable monthly. The Trust earned interest in
     the amount of $0 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and
     2002, respectively. The Trust also borrows on an unsecured basis from CRF
     with interest payable monthly at an annual rate of between 5.0% and 12.0%.
     As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Trust had repaid all
     borrowings from CRF.

7.   Mortgage notes receivable
     -------------------------

     Mortgage notes receivable represent home equity loans primarily secured by
     deeds of trust on one-to-four unit residential real estate. At the time of
     origination, all loans have a combined loan-to-value equal to or less than
     75% of the underlying collateral. The Trust is subject to the risks
     inherent in finance lending including the risk of borrower default and
     bankruptcy.

     Mortgage notes receivable are stated at the principal outstanding. Interest
     on the mortgages is due monthly and principal is usually due as a balloon
     payment at loan maturity.

     A reconciliation of the Trust's mortgage notes receivable follows:

8.   Allowance for losses
     --------------------

     The Trust measures loan impairment based on the fair value of the related
     collateral since all loans subject to this measurement are collateral
     dependent. Management believes a $200,000 and $310,000 allowance for losses
     are adequate to protect against potential losses inherent in all
     receivables as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The
     Trust's actual losses may differ from the estimate.

     A reconciliation of the Trust's allowance for losses follows:

                                        Six months ended       Year ended

9.   Real estate owned
     -----------------

     On January 1, 2002, the Trust owned two properties. During 2002 the Trust
     foreclosed on one property and sold three properties to CAFC for their
     estimated fair market value, which resulted in a net loss of $29,527.
     During 2003, the Trust foreclosed on one property and sold this property to
     CAFC for its estimated fair market value, which resulted in neither a gain
     nor a loss. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Trust did not
     own any properties.

     A reconciliation of the real estate owned account shows its cash and
     non-cash activities follows:

10.  Investment in affiliates
     ------------------------

     Capital Alliance Funding Corporation

     On April 11, 1997 the Trust formed CAFC, a non-qualified REIT subsidiary,
     to conduct a mortgage banking business. The Trust owns all of the
     outstanding Series "A" Preferred Stock (2,000 shares of non-voting stock),
     which constitutes a 99% economic interest in CAFC. The Trust's Manager owns
     all of the Common Shares (1,000 shares) of CAFC, which constitutes a 1%
     economic interest, and has 100% voting control. The Trust's Manager also
     manages CAFC and provides mortgage origination and sale services for CAFC.
     The Trust accounts for its investment in CAFC under the equity method of
     accounting.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Trust did not
     contribute any mortgage loans to CAFC. The transfer of mortgage notes
     receivable is a non-cash transaction that is not shown on statements of
     cash flows.

     The following are selected footnote disclosures from CAFC's financial
     statements:

     Basis of presentation
     ---------------------

     The accounting and financial reporting policies of CAFC conform to
     accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
     and with the policies adopted by the Trust. CAFC's selected financial
     information has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and
     consistent with the periods reported by the Trust.

     Accounts receivable
     -------------------

     Accounts receivable consists primarily of accrued interest on mortgage
     notes receivable and amounts due from borrowers for items such as property
     taxes, insurance, and interest on a first deed mortgage that were paid by
     CAFC on behalf of the property securing the mortgage notes.

     Mortgage notes receivable
     -------------------------

     Mortgage notes receivable are stated at the principal outstanding. Interest
     on the loans is due monthly. The loans are primarily secured by first and
     junior deeds of trust on residential properties. CAFC is subject to the
     risks inherent in finance lending including the risk of borrower default
     and bankruptcy.

     A reconciliation of the mortgage notes receivable follows:

     Some of the mortgage loans originated and purchased by CAFC are held for
     sale to the Trust. The remaining originations and purchases are designated
     for sale to independent third parties. The Trust's purchase price is the
     mortgage loans outstanding balance (par value) plus any accrued interest.
     Loans designated for sale to a third party are pre-approved for purchase by
     the third party, before the loan is acquired by CAFC. Sales to third
     parties are usually greater than CAFC's total acquisition cost.

     Allowance for losses

     CAFC measures loan impairment based on the fair value of the related
     collateral since all loans subject to this measurement are collateral
     dependent. Management believes an $85,000 and $225,000 allowance for losses
     is adequate to protect against potential losses inherent in all receivables
     as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. CAFC's actual
     losses may differ from the estimate.

     A reconciliation of the allowance for losses follows:

     over the Prime Rate (determined on a not less than quarterly basis) or (c)
     the rate set by the Board of Directors. The preferred dividend preference

     year, until the dividends declared on each Common Share for that year
     equals the dividend preference for each Preferred Share for such year. Any
     additional dividends generally will be allocated such that the amounts of
     dividends per share to the Preferred Shareholders and Common Shareholders
     for the subject year are equal. The Preferred Shareholder's additional
     dividends, if any, are non-cumulative.

     Preferred Shareholders are entitled to receive all liquidating
     distributions until they have received an amount equal to their aggregate
     adjusted net capital contribution. Thereafter, Common Shareholders are
     entitled to all liquidation distributions, until the aggregate adjusted net
     capital contributions of all Common Shares has been reduced to zero. Any
     subsequent liquidating distributions will be allocated among Common
     Shareholders and Preferred Shareholders pro rata.

     The Preferred Shares are redeemable by a shareholder, subject to the
     consent of the Board of Directors, annually on June 30 for redemption
     requests received by May 15 of such year. The Board of Directors may in its
     sole discretion deny, delay, postpone or consent to any or all requests for
     redemption. The redemption amount to be paid for redemption of such
     Preferred Shares is the adjusted net capital contribution plus unpaid
     accrued dividends, divided by the aggregate net capital contributions plus
     accrued but unpaid dividends attributable to all Preferred Shares
     outstanding, multiplied by the net asset value of the Trust attributable to
     the Preferred Shares which shall be that percentage of the Trust's net
     asset value that the aggregate adjusted net capital contributions of all
     Preferred Shares bears to the adjusted net capital contributions of all
     Shares outstanding.

     The Trust has the power to redeem or prohibit the transfer of a sufficient
     number of Common and/or Preferred Shares or the exercise of warrants and/or
     options and to prohibit the transfer of shares to persons that would result
     in a violation of the Trust's shareholding requirements. The Bylaws provide
     that only with the explicit approval of the Trust's Board of Directors may
     a shareholder own more than 9.8% of the total outstanding shares.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
                                PLAN OF OPERATION

The financial statements of Capital Alliance Income Trust Ltd., A Real Estate
Investment Trust (the Trust") dated herein were prepared from the unaudited
books and records of the Trust. Capital Alliance Funding Corporation ("CAFC") is
an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Trust. References to the "Company" refer to
the Trust and CAFC, collectively.

Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical information and
certain statements contained in future filings by the Trust with the SEC, in the
Trust's press releases or in the Trust's public and stockholder communications
may not be based on historical facts and are "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or
periods, or by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may", "will", "expect",
"anticipate", or similar terms. Actual results could materially differ from
those in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.

Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Company's significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies require
management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which have a material
impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and the Company
considers these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and
assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results
could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could
have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet dates and results of operations for the reporting periods.

The Company believes the following are critical accounting policies that require
the most significant estimates and assumptions that are particularly susceptible
to a significant change in the preparation of the Company's financial
statements.

Allowance for losses. A provision for losses in based on management's evaluation
of an amount that is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the existing loan
portfolio. The evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full
collection may not be reasonable assumed, considers among other matters, general
economic conditions, the fair market value or the estimated net realizable value
of the underlying collateral, past experience, trends in loan delinquency and
other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance to
absorb inherent losses. However, the recovery of all loan balances is
susceptible to future market forces beyond the Company's control.

Real estate owned. Real estate owned represents property acquired in foreclosure
of mortgage notes receivable. The real estate is carried at the lower of the
value of the mortgage note receivable less selling costs on the real estate or
fair market value. Certain estimates and assumptions are required in determining
the cost to sell or in estimating the fair market value of the real estate.

                                       23
<PAGE>
Interest recognition. The Company accrues interest income as it is earned. Loans
may be placed on a non-accrual status when any portion of the principal or
interest is three scheduled payments past due or earlier when concern exists as
to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Nonaccrual status loans
are returned to an accrual status when principal and interest become current and
are anticipated to be fully collectible.

Stock option. The Trust has issued stock options to certain employees of the
Manager and to its Directors. The stock options issued are accounted for using
the intrinsic-value method. Because the options were issued with exercise prices
no less than the market price of the Trust's common stock on the dates of grant
and because other key terms are fixed, use of the intrinsic-value method results
in the Trust not recognizing compensation expense for these options. If the
terms of these options were changed, variable accounting might need to be used,
and the Trust might then need to begin recognizing compensation expense for the
options.

Equity method of accounting. The Trust's 99% economic interest in CAFC is
presented in the Trust's financial statements according to the equity method of
accounting. This presentation requires the Trust to report the CAFC interest as
an investment. Included in the footnotes to the Trust's financial statements are
CAFC's Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the Statement
of Operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.
If required, consolidation of CAFC's financial information into the Trust may
materially change the Trust's financial statement balances, but would not affect
the Trust's net income or the earnings per common share calculations. FASB
Interpretation No. 46 may require consolidation commencing with the Trust's
January 1, 2004 reporting period.

Management has discussed the Company's critical accounting policies and the
development, selection and disclosure of the estimates and alternatives with the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and obtained their approval prior to
filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

In May of 1997, the Trust registered its common shares with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. On September 30, 1998, the
initial public offering of Common Shares was completed. As of October 1, 1998,
1,484,740 Common Shares were issued and outstanding. Since October 1, 1998, the
common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange with the exchange symbol
of "CAA".

On November 17, 2000, the Trust duly approved a one share for each three share
reverse stock split of its Common and Preferred Shares which became effective at
the close of business on May 11, 2001. After the split, approximately 494,913
Common Shares were issued and outstanding and 213,761 Preferred Shares were
issued and outstanding. These outstanding totals include 27,160 Common Shares
and 3,176 Preferred Shares held in the Treasury as of May 11, 2001.

Operating Strategy. The Trust invests as a portfolio lender primarily in
non-conforming mortgage loans on one-to-four unit residential properties
primarily secured by first and second deeds of trust. Management believes that
this segment of the mortgage market is inadequately served and that there is a
large demand for non-conforming mortgage loans with a complete spectrum of
credit grades.

CAFC's operating strategy is to originate, through mortgage loan brokers and a
correspondent network, conforming and non-conforming home equity loans to be
sold to the Trust and to be sold in the secondary mortgage market for cash.
Although the loans currently made are concentrated in California, CAFC plans to
originate and/or purchase loans on both an individual and bulk basis throughout
the western United States. Loans will then be sold into the secondary market for
a premium or to the Trust at fair market value, when they meet the Trust's
underwriting standards (which include a combined loan-to-value ratio that does
not exceed 75% of the underlying collateral).

                                       24
<PAGE>
Loan Origination and Loan Servicing. Mortgage loan origination consists of
establishing a relationship with a borrower or his broker, obtaining and
reviewing documentation concerning the credit rating and net worth of borrowers,
inspecting and appraising properties that are proposed as the collateral for a
home equity loan, processing such information and underwriting and funding the
mortgage loan. Mortgage loan servicing consists of collecting payments from
borrowers, accounting for interest payments, holding borrowed proceeds in escrow
until fulfillment of mortgage loan requirements, contacting delinquent
borrowers, foreclosing in the event of un-remedied defaults and performing other
administrative duties. Mortgage loan origination and loan servicing are provided
to the Trust by CAAI, its Manager.

Commitments and Contingencies. As of June 30, 2003, the Trust's loan portfolio
included 98 loans totaling $18,033,542 of which 13 loans totaling $3,148,890
representing 17% of the loan portfolio were delinquent over two months. One
delinquent loan, totaling $254,882, was paid in full and another delinquent loan
totaling $533,200 was brought current by July 31, 2003. After adjusting the June
30, 2003 delinquent balances for these payments, the delinquencies in excess of
two months are eleven loans totaling $2,360,808 or 13% of the loan portfolio. In
assessing the collectability of these delinquent mortgage loans, management has
established a loan loss reserve of $200,000, if it is necessary to foreclose
upon the mortgage loans.

As of June 30, 2002, the Trust's loan portfolio included 104 loans totaling
$20,057,717 of which 17 loans totaling $3,385,422 representing 17% of the loan
portfolio were delinquent over two months. Seven delinquent loans totaling
$1,437,819 were brought current by July 31, 2002. After adjusting the June 30,
2002 delinquent balances for these payments, the delinquencies in excess of two
months are ten loans totaling $1,947,603 or 10% of the loan portfolio. In
assessing the collectability of these delinquent mortgage loans, management has
established a loan loss reserve of $222,000, if it is necessary to foreclose
upon the mortgage loans.

The Trust generally issues loan commitments only on a conditional basis and
generally funds such loans promptly upon removal of any conditions. Accordingly,
the Trust did not have any commitments to fund loans as of June 30, 2003 and
June 30, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The historical information presented herein is not necessarily indicative of
future operations.

Three and Six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $731,620 as compared to $758,274 for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in revenue, during this period was due to
lower interest income earned from mortgages of $30,287 and CAFC's warehouse
borrowings of $4,020. The decrease in mortgage interest was due to a smaller
portfolio, while the decrease in interest income from CAFC was due to a lower
interest rate on CAFC's borrowings. The increase in Equity in gain from CAFC was
$13,437.

Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $418,691 as
compared to $432,599 for the same period in the prior year. The decreased
expenses during the period were primarily due to reduced interest expenses of
$14,791, reduced taxes of $2,191 and reduced general and administrative costs of
$25,909. Increased loan servicing and origination fees of $13,573 were primarily
due to higher expense allocation rates and reduced capitalization rates during
the period. Increased management fees of $18,076 were primarily due to higher
incentive compensations.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $1,432,253 as
compared to $1,499,751 for the same period in the prior year. The decreased
revenues during the period were due to lower interest income earned from
mortgages of $13,320 and CAFC's warehouse borrowings of $32,569. The decrease in
interest income from CAFC was due to a lower interest rate on CAFC's borrowings.
A reduction in the Equity in gain from CAFC of $11,793 also contributed to the
period's reduced revenues.

Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $825,176 as
compared to $859,145 for the same period in the prior year. The decreased
expenses during the period were primarily due to reduced interest expenses of
$18,063, reduced taxes of $11,191 and reduced general and administrative costs
of $38,872. Increased management fees of $41,029 were primarily due to higher
incentive compensation.

INFLATION

The financial statements of the Trust, prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, report the
Trust's financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars
and do not consider the impact of inflation. Inflation affects the Trust's
operations primarily through its effect on interest rates, since interest rates
normally increase during periods of high inflation and decrease during periods
of low inflation. When interest rates increase, the demand for mortgage loans
and a borrower's ability to qualify for mortgage financing may be adversely
affected.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2003, the Company has lines of credit for $19,000,000 with three
different lenders. Management believes that the cash flow from the payment of
mortgage notes receivable, existing bank loan facilities, the renewal of
existing bank loan facilities and additional lines of credit anticipated to be
acquired during 2003 will be sufficient to meet the liquidity needs of the
Trust's businesses for the next

                                       26
<PAGE>
twelve months. However, if the existing credit facilities are not renewed and if
replacement facilities are not obtainable, the Trust could experience a decrease
in net income or a net loss. The loans pledged to secure the Company's
borrowings are short-term, performing assets. As a result, the Company has not
had difficulty renewing short-term dated credit facilities. Nevertheless, there
is no assurance that the Company can renew or replace the existing credit
facilities.

As of January 1, 2003 and 2002, the Trust had $494,443 and $441,909 of cash and
cash equivalents, respectively. During the six month period ended June 30, 2003,
cash and cash equivalents increased by $180,406 whereas it decreased by $20,584
during the same period for the prior year, 2002. After taking into effect the
various transactions discussed below, cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003
and 2002 were $674,849 and $421,325.

The following summarizes the changes in net cash provided by operating
activities, net cash used for investing activities, and net cash provided by
financing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 was $583,313 and $528,998, respectively. During the first six
months of 2003, net income provided $607,077, a net decrease in due from
affiliates provided $67,357 and a decrease in other liabilities used $76,384.
During the same period in the prior year, net income provided $616,564, an
increase in accounts receivable used $111,729 and a net increase in due from
affiliates used $80,887.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002 was $606,865 and $1,042,748, respectively. During the first six months of
2003, a net reduction in mortgage notes receivable provided $1,724,705 and an
increase in warehousing facilities to related parties used $2,013,417. During
the same period in the prior year, increased net mortgage notes receivable used
$2,377,201, which was partially offset by reduced affiliate warehouse borrowing
which provided $1,306,481.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 was $203,958 and $493,166, respectively. During the first six
months of 2003 increased borrowings provided cash of $1,064,334, while dividends
and net treasury stock purchases reduced cash by $545,167 and $315,209,
respectively. During the same period in the prior year, cash was provided by
increased borrowings of $880,745, reduced by $464,726 for the payment of
dividends and net treasury stock sales increased cash by $96,647.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk. Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in
interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and
equity prices. The primary market risks to which the Trust is exposed are
interest rate risk and credit risk.

Interest risk. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including
governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and
political considerations and other factors beyond the control of the Company.
Changes in the general level of the U.S. Treasury yield curve can have
significant effects on the market value of the Company's portfolio. The majority
of the Company's assets are fixed-rate loans with a spread to U.S. Treasuries.
The Company's loans are valued on the June 30, 2003 balance sheets at the lower
of cost or market.

As U.S. Treasury securities are priced to a lower yield and/or the spread to
U.S. Treasuries used to price the Company's assets are decreased, the market
value of the Company's portfolio may increase. Conversely, as U.S. Treasury
securities are priced to a higher yield and/or the spread to U.S. Treasuries

                                       27
<PAGE>
used to price the Company's assets is increased, the market value of the
Company's portfolio may decline. Changes in the level of the U.S. Treasury yield
curve can also affect, among other things, the prepayment assumptions used to
value certain of the Company's loans. In addition, changes in the general level
of the LIBOR money market rates can affect the Company's net interest income.
The majority of the Company's liabilities are floating rate based on a spread
over the average one month LIBOR. A portion of the Company's liabilities are
also based on a spread over the daily Prime Rate. As the level of LIBOR and/or
the Prime Rate increases or decreases, the Company's interest expense will move
in the same direction.

On account of the relatively short adjusted weighted average maturity of the
Company's portfolio (32.5 months), a variety of financial instruments available
to limit the effects of interest rate fluctuations on its operations have not
been utilized. The use of these types of derivatives (such as interest rate
swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts) to hedge
interest-earnings assets and/or interest-bearing liabilities carry risks,
including the risk that the net losses on a hedge position may exceed the amount
invested in such instruments.

Credit risk. Credit risk is the exposure to loss from loan defaults and
foreclosures. Default and foreclosure rates are subject to a wide variety of
factors, including, but not limited to, property values, supply/demand factors,
construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the
strength of the American economy and other factors beyond the control of the
Company.

All loans are subject to a certain probability of default and foreclosure. An
increase in default rates will reduce the book value of the Company's assets and
the Company's earnings and cash flow available to fund operations and pay
dividends.

The Company manages credit risk through the underwriting process, limiting loans
at the time of funding to 75% of the collateral's appraised value, establishing
loss assumptions and carefully monitoring loan performance. Nevertheless, the
Company assumes that a certain portion of its loans will default and adjusts the
allowance for loan losses based on that assumption. For purposes of
illustration, a doubling of the assumed losses in the Company's portfolio would
reduce second quarter 2003 net income available to common shareholders by
$200,000 and 86%.

Asset and liability management. Asset and liability management is concerned with
the timing and magnitude of the maturity of assets and liabilities. In general,
management's strategy is to approximately match the term of the Company's
liabilities to the portfolio's adjusted weighted average maturity (32.5 months).

The majority of the Company's assets pay a fixed coupon and the income from such
assets are relatively unaffected by interest rate changes. The Company's
borrowings are currently under a variable rate line of credit that resets
monthly. Given this relationship between assets and liabilities, the Company's
interest rate sensitivity gap is negative. This implies that a period of falling
short-term interest rates will tend to increase the Company's net interest
income, while a period of rising short-term rates will tend to reduce the
Company's net interest income.

The information presented in the following table projects the impact of sudden
changes in interest rates on the Company's annual projected net income. Many
assumptions are made to present this information and there can be no assurance
that assumed events will occur or that other events will not occur that would
affect the outcomes. This table and all related disclosures constitute
forward-looking statements.

The table quantifies the potential changes in annual net income should interest
rates immediately change 100 and 200 basis points. The cash flows calculated
with each rate change are based on a variety of

                                       28
<PAGE>
assumptions, including prepayment speed, time until yield adjustments, yield on
future investments, the slope of the yield curve, the size of the investment
portfolio, financial leverage, and a historically consistent level of
originations and sales into the secondary market. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimated in the table.

                       CAPITAL ALLIANCE INCOME TRUST LTD.
                       ANNOUNCES RECORD QUARTERLY EARNINGS

SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE)- August 12, 2003 - Capital Alliance Income Trust
Ltd. ("CAIT") (AMEX: CAA-News) a residential mortgage REIT, operating both
mortgage investment and mortgage banking businesses, announced record net income
of $312,929 ($0.55 basic and $0.47 diluted per share) for the three months
ending June 30, 2003 and $607,077 ($1.06 basic and 0.90 diluted) for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to net income of $309,587 ($0.53 basic
and $0.43) diluted per share) and $616,564 ($1.06 basic and $0.89 diluted per
share), respectively, for the like periods in 2002. Revenues were reported as
$731,620 for the three months ending June 30, 2003 and $1,432,253 for the six
month period ending June 30, 2003, as compared to $758,274 and $1,499,751 for
the same periods in 2002.

As a REIT, CAIT is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income. CAIT's
Board of Directors recently declared a cash dividend of $0.45 per share, payable
August 15, 2003. Based upon the closing stock price of August 11, 2003, CAIT's
$1.80 annualized common share dividend yield is 9.86%.

Thomas Swartz, CAIT's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted "the quality
of CAIT's earnings is poised to continue for the remainder of 2003 and our
management team remains focused on creating shareholder value, notwithstanding
the uncertainty afflicting the general economy, residential real estate values,
and recent interest rate volatility. During 2003 CAIT's senior executive
management exercised stock options in acquiring 30,826 common shares."

CAIT's Form 10-QSB and its financial statements included therein, scheduled to
be filed August 14, 2003, will be duly certified pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002.

CAIT is a specialty residential lender, which originates and invests in
conforming and high-yielding, non-conforming residential mortgage loans on
one-to-four-unit-residential properties located primarily in California and
other western states. It also originates loans for sale to investors, on a
whole-loan basis for cash through its mortgage banking subsidiary, Capital
Alliance Funding Corporation. All loans with a combined loan-to-value ratio of
greater than 75% of the collateral's appraised value at the time of funding are
pre-sold into the secondary market. Only residential loans with a combined
loan-to-value of 75% or less are retained in CAIT's portfolio of mortgage
investments. On June 30, 2003 the combined loan to value of CAIT's portfolio was
68%.

This document contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that inherently involve risks
and uncertainties. CAIT's actual results and liquidity can differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of changes in
the level and composition of CAIT's investments and unforeseen factors. As
discussed in CAIT's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, these
factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic
conditions, the availability of suitable investments, fluctuations in and market
expectations for fluctuations in interest rates and levels of mortgage
prepayments, deterioration in credit quality and ratings, the effectiveness of
risk management strategies, the impact of leverage, the liquidity of secondary
markets and credit markets, increases in costs and other general competitive
factors.

                          FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2003

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2003--Capital Alliance Income Trust Ltd.
("CAIT") (AMEX:CAA-news) a specialty residential mortgage REIT, operating both
mortgage investment and mortgage banking businesses announced earnings for the
first quarter ending March 31, 2003 of $294,148 ($0.50 basic and $0.43 diluted
per share) as compared to earnings of $306,979 ($0.53 basic and $0.42 diluted
per share) for the like period in 2002. Revenues were $700,633 and $741,478 for
the three months ending March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Earlier this month, CAIT's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.45 per
common share, payable May 16, 2003. Based on the May 14th closing stock price,
CAIT's annualized common share dividend yields 10.5%. Tomorrow's dividend is
CAIT's fourth consecutive $0.45 quarterly common share payment.

Richard J. Wrensen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of CAIT
noted that the Company (CAIT and its unconsolidated mortgage banking subsidiary)
has continued to increase its loan loss reserves. Recent macro-economic trends,
including higher unemployment, increased delinquencies and heightened
foreclosure rates suggest increased reserves are necessary and prudent. "As of
March 31, 2003, the Company's combined loan loss reserves equaled 2.17% or 217
basis points of the Company's loan portfolio. One year earlier the combined
reserve was 1.31% or 131 basis points. Our reserve has increased $243,542 or 65%
to protect our shareholders against the weakened economy."
