 **NOTE
        A — ORGANIZATION**
 
 Vestin
        Realty Mortgage I, Inc. (“VRM I”) was organized in January 2006 as a Maryland
        corporation for the sole purpose of effecting a merger with Vestin Fund I,
        LLC
        (“Fund I”). On May 1, 2006, Fund I merged into VRM I and the members of Fund I
        received one share of VRM I’s common stock for each membership unit of Fund I.
        References in this report to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Fund I
        with respect to the period prior to May 1, 2006 and to VRM I with respect
        to the
        period commencing on May 1, 2006. Because Fund I was a limited liability
        company
        (“LLC”) during the periods reflected in this report, where appropriate, we make
        reference to Fund I’s members in reporting our financial results.
 
 We
        invest
        in loans secured by real estate through deeds of trust or mortgages (hereafter
        referred to collectively as “deeds of trust”).
 
 We
        operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We are not a mutual fund or
        an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
        1940,
        nor are we subject to any regulation thereunder. As a REIT we are required
        to
        have a December 31 st fiscal
        year end.
 
 Our
        Manager is Vestin Mortgage, Inc. (the “Manager” or “Vestin Mortgage”), a Nevada
        corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vestin Group, Inc. (“Vestin
        Group”), a Delaware corporation. Michael Shustek, the CEO and director of the
        Manager and CEO, President and a director of us, wholly owns Vestin Group,
        Inc.,
        which is engaged in asset management, real estate lending and other financial
        services though its subsidiaries. Our Manager, prior to June 30, 2006, also
        operated as a licensed Nevada mortgage broker and was engaged in the business
        of
        brokerage, placement and servicing of commercial loans secured by real property.
        On July 1, 2006, the mortgage broker license was issued to an affiliated

 **NOTE
        B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
 
 **Management
        Estimates**
 
 The
        preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management
        to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
        and
        liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
        of
        the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.
 
 **Cash
        and Cash Equivalents**
 
 Cash
        and
        cash equivalents include interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing bank
        deposits, money market accounts, short-term certificates of deposit with
        original maturities of three months or less, and short-term instruments with
        a
        liquidation provision of one month or less.
 
 **Revenue
        Recognition**
 
 Interest
        is recognized as revenue when earned according to the terms of the loans,
        using
        the effective interest method. We do not recognize interest income on loans
        once
        they are determined to be impaired. A loan is impaired when based on current
        information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect
        all
        amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when
        the
        payment of interest is 90 days past due. Cash receipts will be allocated
        to
        interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated by
        the
        terms of the loan as principal reduction or when management does not believe
        our
        investment in the loan is fully recoverable.
 
 **Investments
        in Real Estate Loans**
 
 We
        may
        from time to time acquire or sell investments in real estate loans from or
        to
        the Manager or other related parties pursuant to the terms of our Management
        Agreement provided the price does not exceed the original cost. The primary
        purpose is to either free up capital to provide liquidity for various reasons,
        such as loan diversification, or place excess capital in investments to maximize
        the use of our capital. Selling or buying loans allows us to diversify our
        loan
        portfolio within these parameters. Due to the short-term nature of the loans
        we
        make and the similarity of interest rates in loans we normally would invest
        in,
        the fair value of a loan typically approximates its carrying value. Accordingly,
        discounts or premiums typically do not apply upon sales of loans and therefore,
        generally no gain or loss is recorded on these transactions, regardless of
        whether to a related or unrelated party.
 
 Investments
        in real estate loans are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages (hereafter
        referred to as “deeds of trust”). Generally, our real estate loans require
        interest only payments with a balloon payment of the principal at maturity.
        We
        have both the intent and ability to hold real estate loans until maturity
        and
        therefore, real estate loans are classified and accounted for as held for
        investment and are carried at amortized cost. Loans sold to or purchased
        from
        affiliates are accounted for at the principal balance and no gain or loss
        is
        recognized by us or any affiliate. Loan to value ratios are based on appraisals
        obtained at the time of loan origination and may not reflect subsequent changes
        in value estimates. Such appraisals are generally dated within 12 months
        of the
        date of loan origination and may be commissioned by the borrower. The appraisals
        may be for the current estimate of the “as-if developed” value of the property,
        which approximates the post-construction value of the collateralized property
        assuming that such property is developed. As-if developed values on raw land
        loans or acquisition and development loans often dramatically exceed the
        immediate sales value and may include anticipated zoning changes and timely
        successful development by the purchaser. As most of the appraisals will be
        prepared on an “as-if developed” basis, if a loan goes into default prior to any
        development of a project, the market value of the property may be substantially
        less than the appraised value. As a result, there may be less security than
        anticipated at the time the loan was originally made. If there is less security
        and a default occurs, we may not recover the full amount of the
        loan.

 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, all of our loans provided for payments of interest only
        with
        a “balloon” payment of principal payable in full at the end of the term, with
        the exception of one of our loans which include principal and interest payments.
        As of September 30, 2006, this one loan had a balance of approximately $7.6
        million and a term of 36 months, maturing in the next 12 months. In addition,
        we
        also invest in real estate loans that have interest reserves. Loans with
        interest reserves require the borrowers to maintain interest reserves funded
        from the principal amount of the loan for a period of time. At September
        30,
        2006, we had $23.8 million in investments in real estate loans that had interest
        reserves where the total outstanding principal was approximately $134.0 million,
        including participating lenders. These loans had interest reserves of
        approximately $7.2 million, of which our portion was $1.3 million. At April
        30,
        2006, we had $5.8 million invested in real estate loans which had interest
        reserves where the total outstanding principal was approximately $29.6 million,
        including participating lenders. These loans had interest reserves of
        approximately $1.3 million, of which our portion was $0.2 million.
 
 **Allowance
        for Loan Losses**
 
 We
        maintain an allowance for loan losses on our investments in real estate loans
        for estimated credit impairment. The Manager’s estimate of losses is based on a
        number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the
        portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay,
        prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the
        loan.
        Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and
        are
        based on an assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses
        on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded as a charge-off or a reduction
        to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
        charged off are added back to the allowance or included as income.
 
 Estimating
        allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying
        collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency
        and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect
        loan collections or taking possession of the property. As a non-conventional
        lender willing to invest in loans to borrowers who may not meet the credit
        standards of conventional lenders, the default rate on our loans could be
        higher
        than those generally experienced in the real estate lending industry. We
        generally approve loans more quickly than other real estate lenders and,
        due to
        our expedited underwriting process; there is a risk that the credit inquiry
        we
        perform will not reveal material facts pertaining to a borrower and the
        security.
 
 Additional
        facts and circumstances are discovered as we continue our efforts in the
        collection and foreclosure processes. This additional information often causes
        management to reassess its estimates. In recent years, we have revised estimates
        of our allowance for loan losses. Circumstances that may cause significant
        changes in our estimated allowance include, but are not limited to:
 
 ·
            Declines
                in real estate market conditions, which can cause a decrease in expected
                market value; 
 ·
            Discovery
                of undisclosed liens for community improvement bonds, easements and
                delinquent property taxes; 
 ·
            Lack
                of progress on real estate developments after we advance funds. We
                customarily utilize disbursement agents to monitor the progress of
                real
                estate developments and approve loan advances. After further inspection
                of
                the related property, progress on construction occasionally does
                not
                substantiate an increase in value to support the related loan
                advances; 
 ·
            Unanticipated
                legal or business issues that may arise subsequent to loan origination
                or
                upon the sale of foreclosed upon property;
                and 
 ·
            Appraisals,
                which are only opinions of value at the time of the appraisal, may
                not
                accurately reflect the value of the
                property.  See

 **Real
        Estate Held For Sale**
 
 Real
        estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and
        will
        be carried at the lower of the recorded amount, inclusive of any senior
        indebtedness, or the property's estimated fair value, less estimated costs
        to
        sell, with fair value based on appraisals and knowledge of local market
        conditions. While pursuing foreclosure actions, the Company seeks to identify
        potential purchasers of such property. It is not the Company's intent to
        invest
        in or own real estate as a long-term investment. In accordance with Statement
        of
        Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) 144 - *Accounting
        for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets* (“FAS
        144”), the Company seeks to sell properties acquired through foreclosure as
        quickly as circumstances permit. The carrying values of real estate held
        for
        sale are assessed on a regular basis from updated appraisals, comparable
        sales
        values or purchase offers.
 
 Management
        classifies real estate held for sale when the following criteria are
        met:
 
 ·
            Management
                commits to a plan to sell the properties; 
 ·
            The
                property is available for immediate sale in its present condition
                subject
                only to terms that are usual and
                customary; 
 ·
            An
                active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete
                a
                sale have been initiated; 
 ·
            The
                sale of the property is probable; 
 ·
            The
                property is being actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price;
                and 
 ·
            Withdrawal
                or significant modification of the sale is not
                likely. 
 **Real
        Estate Held For Sale - Seller Financed**
 
 We
        occasionally finance sales of foreclosed properties to independent third
        parties. In order to record a sale of real estate when the seller is providing
        continued financing, FAS 66 - *Accounting
        for Sales of Real Estate* ("FAS
        66'') requires the buyer of the real estate to make minimum and initial
        continuing investments. Minimum initial investments as defined by FAS 66
        range
        from 10% to 25% based on the type of real estate sold. In addition, FAS 66
        limits commitments and contingent obligations incurred by a seller in order
        to
        record a sale.
 
 Because
        we occasionally foreclose on loans with raw land or developments in progress,
        available financing for such properties is often limited and we frequently
        provide financing up to 100% of the selling price on these properties. In
        addition, we may make additional loans to the buyer to continue development
        of a
        property. Although sale agreements are consummated at closing, they lack
        adequate initial investment by the buyer to qualify as a sales transaction
        as
        defined in FAS 66. These sale agreements are not recorded as a sale until
        the
        requirements of FAS 66 are met.
 
 These
        sale agreements are recorded under the deposit method or cost recovery method
        as
        defined in FAS 66. Under the deposit method, no profit is recognized and
        any
        cash received from the buyer is reported as a deposit liability on the balance
        sheet. Under the cost recovery method, no profit is recognized until payments
        by
        the buyer exceed the carrying basis of the property sold. Principal payments
        received will reduce the related receivable, and interest collections will
        be
        recorded as unrecognized gross profit on the balance sheet. The carrying
        values
        of these properties are included in real estate held for sale on the
        accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
 In
        cases
        where the investment by the buyer is significant (generally 20% or more)
        and the
        buyer has an adequate continuing investment, the purchase money debt is not
        subject to future subordination, and a full transfer of risks and rewards
        has
        occurred, we will use the full accrual method. Under the full accrual method
        a
        sale is recorded and the balance remaining to be paid is recorded as a normal
        note. Interest is recorded as income when received.

 **Classification
        of Operating Results from Real Estate Held for Sale**
 
 FAS
        144 - *Accounting
        for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets* ("FAS
        144'') generally requires operating results from long lived assets held for
        sale
        to be classified as discontinued operations as a separately stated component
        of
        net income. The Company's operations involve foreclosing on real estate when
        necessary and the Company considers these operating results to be part of
        the
        Company's continuing operations. Accordingly, expenses related to real estate
        held for sale and related rental income, when applicable, have been included
        on
        the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
 **Investment
        in Marketable Securities - Related Party**
 
 Investment
        in marketable securities - related party consists of stock in VRM II. The
        securities are stated at fair value as determined by the market price as
        of
        September 30, 2006. All securities are classified as available -for-sale
        under
        the provisions of FAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
        and
        Equity Securities.
 
 **Fair
        Value of Financial Instruments**
 
 FAS
        107 - *Disclosures
        about Fair Value of Financial Instruments* (“FAS
        107”), requires the determination of fair value of the Company’s financial
        assets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
        value of financial instruments included in the following
        categories:
 
 (a)
            Certificate
                of Deposits and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts of these
                instruments are at amortized cost, which approximates fair
                value. 
 (b)
            Investment
                in Real Estate Loans: The carrying value of these instruments, net
                of the
                allowance for loan losses, approximates the fair value due to their
                short-term maturities. Fair values for loans, which are delinquent
                and/or
                in foreclosure are determined by underlying collateral securing the
                loans. 
 (c)
            Assets
                under Secured Borrowing: The carrying amount of these instruments
                approximate fair value. The fair value is estimated based upon projected
                cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at
                which
                similar loans would be made. 
 At
        September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006, the estimated fair values of the real
        estate loans, including seller financed loans, were approximately $58.7 million
        and $46.7 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006,
        we
        had no assets under secured borrowings. These estimates were based upon the
        present value of expected cash flows discounted at rates currently available
        for
        similar loans. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time;
        based
        on relevant market information; are subjective in nature; and involve
        uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Accordingly, the estimates
        presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would
        be
        collected upon maturity or disposition of the loans.
 
 **Basic
        and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share**
 
 Basic
        earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed, in accordance with FAS 128 - *Earnings
        per Share* (“FAS
        128”), by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted
        average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is similar to basic
        EPS
        except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is
        increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have
        been
        outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been exercised. We
        had
        no outstanding common shares equivalents during the period presented. The
        following is a computation of the EPS data for the five months ended September
        30, 2006:

 **Income
        Taxes**
 
 The
        Company is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate
        investment trust (“REIT”) and to comply with the provisions of the Internal
        Revenue Code with respect thereto. A REIT is generally not subject to federal
        income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income (“Taxable Income”), which
        is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of Taxable
        Income
        is distributed and provided that certain other requirements are met.
 
 Certain
        assets of the Company are held in a taxable REIT subsidiary. The income of
        a
        taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal and state income taxes. For
        the
        five months ended September 30, 2006, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary
        recorded an income tax provision of $15,000.

 We
        maintain cash deposit accounts and certificates of deposit, which at times
        may
        exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such
        accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on
        cash.
        As of September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006 we had $0.7 million and $11.1
        million, respectively, in excess of the federally insured limits.
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, 32%, 16%, 14%, and 10% of our loans were in Nevada,
        California, Hawaii and Arizona, respectively, compared to 26%, 17%, 17% and
        7%,
        at April 30, 2006, respectively. As a result of this geographical concentration
        of our real estate loans, a downturn in the local real estate markets in
        these
        states could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, the aggregate amount of loans to our three largest borrowers
        represented 31.49% of our total investment in real estate loans. These real
        estate loans consisted of commercial and acquisition and development loans,
        located in California, Hawaii and Nevada, with a first lien position, earning
        between 5% and 14%, with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately
        $20.6
        million and maturing through September 2007. At April 30, 2006, the aggregate
        amount of loans to our three largest borrowers represented 39.77% of our
        total
        investment in real estate loans. These real estate loans consisted of commercial
        and acquisition and development loans, located in California, Hawaii and
        Nevada,
        with a first lien position, earning between 5% and 14%, with an aggregate
        outstanding balance of approximately $21.3 million and maturing through
        September 2007. Because we have a significant concentration of credit risk
        with
        our three largest borrowers, a default by any of such borrowers could have
        a
        material adverse effect on us.
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, all of our loans provided for payments of interest only
        with
        a “balloon” payment of principal payable in full at the end of the term, with
        the exception of one of our loans which include principal and interest payments.
        The success of a borrower’s ability to repay its real estate loan obligation in
        a large lump-sum payment may be dependent upon the borrower’s ability to
        refinance the obligation or otherwise raise a substantial amount of cash.
        An
        increase in interest rates over the loan rate applicable at origination of
        the
        loan may have an adverse effect on the borrower’s ability to
        refinance.
 
 **NOTE
        D — INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE LOANS**
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006, we had four real estate loan products
        consisting of commercial, construction, acquisition and development, and
        land.
        The effective interest rates on all product categories range from 5% to 14%.
        Revenue by product will fluctuate based upon relative balances during the
        period.

            Loan
                to value ratios are based on the most recent appraisals and may not
                reflect subsequent changes in value estimates. Such appraisals, which
                may
                be commissioned by the borrower, are generally dated no greater than
                12
                months prior to the date of loan origination. The appraisals may
                be for
                the current estimate of the “as-if developed” value of the property, which
                approximates the post-construction value of the collateralized property
                assuming that such property is developed. “As-if developed” values on raw
                land loans or acquisition and development loans often dramatically
                exceed
                the immediate sales value and may include anticipated zoning changes,
                and
                successful development by the purchaser; upon which development is
                dependent on availability of financing. As most of the appraisals
                will be
                prepared on an “as-if developed” basis, if a loan goes into default prior
                to completion of the development of the project, the market value
                of the
                property may be substantially less than the appraised value. As a
                result,
                there may be less security than anticipated at the time the loan
                was
                originally made. If there is less security and a default occurs,
                we may
                not recover the full amount of the loan. 
 (2)
            The
                following table reconciles the balance of the loan portfolio to the
                amount
                shown on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contra
                accounts
                represent the amount of real estate held for sale sold to third parties
                where the Company provided financing. GAAP requires the borrower
                to have a
                certain percentage equity ownership (ranging from 10% to 25%) to
                allow the
                Company to record the sale of a property. In addition, the borrower
                must
                maintain a minimum commitment in the property on a continuing basis.
                Therefore, until the borrower meets this requirement, the investment
                in
                the new loan is reduced by the amount originally invested in the
                real
                estate held for sale.

 At
        September 30, 2006, the following four loans were non-performing (based on
        current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to
        collect
        all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement
        or when
        the payment of interest is 90 days past due); RightStar (Part I & Part II),
        Monterrey Associates and Rio Vista Nevada. These loans are currently carried
        on
        our books at a value of approximately $9.6 million, net of allowance for
        loan
        losses of approximately $4.7 million for the RightStar loans. These loans
        have
        been placed on non-accrual of interest status and are the subject of pending
        foreclosure proceedings.
 
 ·
            RightStar
                (Part I & Part II) are loans secured by a lien on the business and
                virtually all of the property of RightStar, which includes 4 cemeteries
                and 8 mortuaries in Hawaii with an outstanding balance of $32 million
                of
                which our portion is approximately $9.3 million ($4.4 million for
                Part I
                and $4.9 million for Part II). The lenders commenced a judicial
                foreclosure on the loans, Part I and Part
                II. 
 ·
            Monterrey
                Associates, L.P., a loan secured by a 248 Unit apartment complex
                in
                Oklahoma City, OK, along with other real estate collateral, with
                an
                outstanding balance of approximately $4.4 million of which our portion
                is
                approximately $1.2 million. The loan is two months in arrears in
                payments
                of interest. Our Manager has commenced foreclosure proceedings and
                is
                filing litigation to enforce the personal guarantee on the loan.
                Our
                Manager has evaluated this loan and concluded that the value of the
                underlying collateral is sufficient to protect us from loss of principal.
                No specific allowance was deemed
                necessary. 
 ·
            Rio
                Vista Nevada, LLC, a loan secured by 480 residential building lots
                located
                within the Rio Vista Master Planned Community in Cathedral City,
                CA with
                an outstanding balance of approximately $30 million of which our
                portion
                is approximately $3.7 million. The loan is one month in arrears in
                payment
                of interest. Our Manager is assisting the borrower in selling the
                property
                to satisfy the principal balance of the loan and accrued interest.
                Our

 On
        May 1,
        2006 the bankruptcy plan of Mid-State Raceway, Inc. for Vernon Downs became
        effective. As a result of the bankruptcy plan, we and VRM II received the
        following:
 
 ·
            A
                new first deed of trust was received from the buyer, Vernon Downs
                Acquisition, LLC, approximating $22.8 million, of which our portion
                is
                approximately $3.2 million. The new terms included a $1.2 million
                principal payment, reducing our principal balance by approximately
                $171,000. This transaction resulted in us recording unearned revenue
                of
                approximately $171,000, to be recognized through March 2007, the
                maturity
                of the loan. The terms of the loan are 9% due in 6 months, with an
                option
                to extend, which was granted in September 2006, for an additional
                6 months
                for a fee. 
 ·
            The
                loan is secured by a first deed of trust on Vernon Downs properties
                and a
                150% personal guarantee by the borrowers. 
 ·
            Prepayment
                of interest in the aggregate amount of $500,000, of which our portion
                was
                approximately $71,000. 
 ·
            Delay
                fees from the date of the bankruptcy confirmation until the effective
                date
                in the aggregate amount of $282,000 of which our portion was approximately

                of past due forbearance fees of approximately $555,000 of which our
                portion was approximately $79,000, to be recognized as unearned revenue
                and amortized through March 2007, the maturity of the
                loan. 
 Our
        Manager periodically reviews and makes a determination as to whether the
        allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential losses. Additions
        to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for
        loan
        losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the
        allowance for loan losses or included as income when the asset is disposed.
        As
        of September 30, 2006, we have provided a specific reserve related to the
        two
        loans secured by 4 cemeteries and 8 mortuaries in Hawaii (“RightStar loans”), of
        which our portion of the specific reserve is approximately $4.7 million.
        Our
        Manager evaluated the loans and concluded that the remaining underlying
        collateral was sufficient to protect us against further losses of principal.
        Our
        Manager will continue to evaluate these loans in order to determine if any
        other
        allowance for loan losses should be recorded.
 
 Because
        any decision regarding the allowance for loan losses reflects a judgment
        about
        the probability of future events, there is an inherent risk that such judgments
        will prove incorrect. In such event, actual losses may exceed (or be less
        than)
        the amount of any reserve. To the extent that we experience losses greater
        than
        the amount of our reserves, we may incur a charge to our earnings that will
        adversely affect our operating results and the amount of any distributions
        payable to our stockholders.

        is secured by a lien on the business and virtually all of the property of
        RightStar, which includes 4 cemeteries and 8 mortuaries in Hawaii. The aggregate

 The
        loans
        are subject to an inter-creditor agreement which states the order of priority
        for any payments received are disbursed as follows:
 
 ·
            First
                to reimburse collection and foreclosure expenses advanced by the
                lenders; 
 ·
            Second
                to pay past due interest on the Senior Principal (including default
                rate
                interest); 
 ·
            Third
                to pay past due interest on the Junior Principal (including default
                rate
                interest);

            Fourth
                to pay Senior Principal; and

            Fifth
                to pay Junior Principal. 
 We
        and
        VRM II acquired the senior portion of the loan on July 14, 2005 for
        approximately $15.5 million of which our portion was approximately $5.4 million
        (including accrued interest of approximately $0.5 million). We and VRM II
        acquired this balance to expedite the foreclosure process and remove the
        prior
        senior lender from its priority position, which had the potential to impair
        the
        value we may receive at the time the property is sold. In exchange for
        assistance in expediting the foreclosure process, the lenders jointly agreed
        to
        release the guarantors from their guaranty of the loan.
 
 RightStar
        is currently being operated by a Court appointed Receiver, installed at the
        request of the lenders.

 Foreclosure
        proceedings are being delayed by the State of Hawaii which has refused to
        issue
        licenses to potential buyers or the lenders to: (1) operate the facility,
        (2)
        operate a pre-need program and (3) operate a perpetual care program. During
        the
        ten month transition period ended April 30, 2006, the State of Hawaii notified
        the lenders of a potential statutory trust fund deficiency, estimated to
        be
        between $20 million and $30 million and claimed that this balance has priority
        over all lenders. The lenders dispute the amount and priority of this deficit.
        On April 20, 2006, the lenders filed suit against the State of Hawaii listing
        26
        causes of action, including allegations that the State of Hawaii has illegally
        blocked the lender’s right to foreclose and take title to its collateral by
        inappropriately attaching conditions to the granting of licenses needed to
        operate the business, the pre-need trust funds and the perpetual care trust
        funds and that the State of Hawaii has attempted to force the lenders to
        accept
        liability for any statutory trust fund deficits while no such lender liability
        exists under the laws of the State of Hawaii. On April 24, 2006, the State
        of
        Hawaii responded by filing allegations against Vestin Mortgage, Inc. and
        VRM II
        alleging that these Vestin entities improperly influenced the former RightStar
        trustees to transfer trust funds to VRM II. Our Manager believes the State’s
        claims to be without merit and intend to vigorously pursue their remedies
        while
        defending against any allegations made by the State. The outcome of this
        litigation is unforeseeable at this time. We cannot estimate when the
        foreclosure will ultimately be completed or when the lenders may obtain title
        to
        the underlying properties.
 
 We
        have
        evaluated the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the potential
        trust
        fund deficit, and the expected cost and length of litigation. Based on this
        estimate we increased our total specific reserve allowance for loss by
        approximately $3.0 million during the ten month transition period ended April
        30, 2006 and specifically allocated our general allowance of approximately
        $0.7
        million to the RightStar loans. The increase in the reserve allowance included
        approximately $0.5 million for estimated litigation fees and expenses which
        we
        anticipate incurring in enforcing our rights against the underlying collateral.
        We will continue to evaluate our position in the RightStar loan as the situation
        progresses. As of September 30, 2006, our specific reserve allowance on the
        RightStar loans totaled approximately $4.7 million, which includes a legal
        reserve balance of approximately $265,000.
 
 In
        addition, our Manager had granted extensions on eight loans pursuant to the
        terms of the original loan agreements, which permit extensions by mutual
        consent. Such extensions are generally provided on loans where the original
        term
        was 12 months or less and where a borrower requires additional time to complete
        a construction project or negotiate take-out financing. However, our Manager
        only grants extensions when a borrower is in full compliance with the terms
        of
        the loan, including, but not limited to the borrower’s obligation to make
        interest payments on the loan. The aggregate amount due from borrowers whose
        loans had been extended as of September 30, 2006 was approximately $12.4
        million. Our Manager concluded that no allowance for loan loss was necessary
        with respect to these loans as of September 30, 2006.
 
 **Asset
        Quality and Loan Reserves**
 
 Losses
        may occur from investing in real estate loans. The amount of losses will
        vary as
        the loan portfolio is affected by changing economic conditions and the financial
        condition of borrowers.
 
 The
        conclusion that a real estate loan is uncollectible or that collectibility
        is
        doubtful is a matter of judgment. On a quarterly basis, the Manager evaluates
        our real estate loan portfolio for impairment. The fact that a loan is
        temporarily past due does not necessarily mean that the loan is impaired.
        Rather, all relevant circumstances are considered by our Manager to determine
        impairment and the need for specific reserves. Such evaluation, which includes
        a
        review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
        considers among other matters:
 
 ·
            Prevailing
                economic conditions; 
 ·
            Historical
                experience; 
 ·
            The
                nature and volume of the loan
                portfolio;  See
              review
              report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

              -
 *Table
            of Contents*
 
 ·
            The
                borrowers’ financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the
                borrowers’ ability to pay; 
 ·
            Evaluation
                of industry trends; and 
 ·
            Estimated
                net realizable value of any underlying collateral in relation to
                the loan
                amount. 
 Based
        upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance
        for
        loan losses is adequate to cover any potential losses. Additions to the
        allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses.
        As of September 30, 2006, our Manager had provided approximately $4.7 million
        as
        a specific allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2006, the following
        loans
        were non-performing (based on current information and events, it is probable
        that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
        terms of the loan agreement or when the payment of interest is 90 days past
        due); RightStar (Part I & Part II), Monterrey Associates and Rio Vista
        Nevada. These loans are currently carried on our books at a value of
        approximately $9.6 million, net of allowance for loan losses of approximately
        $4.7 million for the RightStar loans. Our Manager evaluated the loans and
        concluded that the underlying collateral was sufficient to protect us against
        further losses of principal or interest. Our Manager will continue to evaluate
        these loans in order to determine if any other allowance for loan losses
        should
        be recorded.
 
 **NOTE
        E — REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE**
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, we had no real estate held for sale. Our investment in
        real
        estate held for sale, sold during the five months ended September 30, 2006,
        was
        accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell with
        fair
        value based on appraisals and knowledge of local market conditions. It is
        not
        our intent to invest in or own real estate as a long-term investment. We
        seek to
        sell properties acquired through foreclosure as quickly as circumstances
        permit.

 During
        July 2006, we and VRM II sold the land containing residential lots in Henderson,
        NV, for approximately $3.8 million, of which we received approximately $2.5
        million, which resulted in a gain of $41,000.
 
 **NOTE
        F — REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE - SELLER FINANCED**
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, we held an interest in two **** properties
        with a total carrying value of $8.8 million, which have been sold in
        transactions where we provided the financing to the purchaser. GAAP requires
        us
        to include these properties in real estate held for sale until the borrower
        has
        met and maintained a certain percentage of equity ownership, which ranges
        from
        10% to 25%. We may share ownership of such properties with VRM II, Fund III,
        the
        Manager, or other related and/or unrelated parties. The summary below includes
        our percentage of ownership in each property. These investments in real estate
        held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs
        to
        sell with fair value based on appraisals and knowledge of local market
        conditions. The following is a roll-forward of seller-financed real estate
        held
        for sale for the five months ended September 30, 2006:

 **(1)**
            During
                August 2005, we and VRM I sold the 126 unit (207 bed) assisted living
                facility in Phoenix, AZ and financed 100% of the purchased price
                of $10.5
                million maturing in January 2007. The transaction resulted in a $144,000
                deferred gain, which will be recognized once the equity requirement
                has
                been met. We have received approximately $228,000 in payments from
                the
                borrower. These payments are recorded as a deposit liability and
                will be
                recognized as income once the equity requirement has been
                met. 
 **(2)**
            During
                September 2004, we and VRM I sold an assisted living facility in
                Las
                Vegas, NV and financed 100% of the purchased price of $15.3 million
                maturing in September 2007. The transaction resulted in no gain or
                loss.
                We have received approximately $1.1 in payments from the borrower.
                These
                payments are recorded as a deposit liability and will be recognized
                as
                income once the equity requirement has been
                met 
 Until
        borrowers have met the minimum equity ownership requirement to allow us to
        record a sale, we will record payments received under the deposit method
        or the
        cost recovery method, which ever is applicable in accordance with FAS
        66.
 
 **NOTE
        G — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**
 From
        time
        to time we may acquire or sell investments in real estate loans from/to our
        Manager or other related parties pursuant to the terms of our Management
        Agreement provided the price does not exceed the original cost. No gain or
        loss
        is recorded on these transactions, as it is not our intent to make a profit
        on
        the purchase or sale of such investments. The purpose is generally to diversify
        our portfolio by syndicating loans, thereby providing us with additional
        capital
        to make additional loans.
 
 **Transactions
        with the Manager**
 
 Our
        Manager is entitled to receive from us an annual management fee of up to
        0.25%
        of our aggregate capital contributions received by us and Fund I from the
        sale
        of shares or membership units, paid monthly. The amount of management fees
        paid
        to our Manager for the five months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
        approximated $115,000, for each period.
 
 As
        of
        April 30, 2006, we owed our Manager $37,000, related to unpaid management
        fees,
        and expenses paid on our behalf related to the maintenance of real estate
        held
        for sale. As of September 30, 2006 the balance due to our Manager was paid
        in
        full.
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, Vestin Mortgage owned 100,000 of our common shares. For
        the
        five months ended September 30, 2006 we paid $8,000 in dividends to our Manager
        based on the number of shares they held on the dividend record date. For
        the
        five months ended September 30, 2005 we recorded pro-rata distributions owed
        to
        our Manager of approximately $26,000.

        with Other Related Parties**
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, we owned 286,658 common shares of VRM II. For the five
        months ended September 30, 2006 we received approximately $60,000 in dividends
        from VRM II based on the number of shares we held on the dividend record
        date.
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006, VRM II owned 236,557 of our common shares.
 
 During
        the five months ended September 30, 2005, we purchased $600,000 in real estate
        loans from VRM II. No gain or loss resulted form these
        transactions.
 
 For
        the
        five months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we incurred $24,000 and $19,000
        respectively, for legal fees to the law firm of Levine, Garfinkel & Katz in
        which the Secretary of Vestin Group has an equity ownership interest in the
        law
        firm.
 
 **NOTE
        H — NOTES RECEIVABLE**
 
 During
        October 2004, we and VRM II sold the Castaways Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas,
        Nevada
        of which our portion of the net cash proceeds was approximately $2,118,000.
        We
        originally sold this property under a 100% seller financing arrangement.
        The
        borrowers then sold the property to an unrelated third party that resulted
        in a
        payoff of the note and also allowed us to record the sale and remove the
        asset
        from seller financed real estate held for sale. In addition, during September
        2004, we received a promissory note from the guarantors of the loan in the
        amount of $160,000 in exchange for a release of their personal guarantees.
        Since
        payments on the note did not begin for 18 months from the date of the note,
        we
        discounted the face value of the note to $119,000, which is based on a discount
        rate of 8% as of that date. For the five months ended September 30, 2006,
        we
        received approximately $8,000 in principal payments. The outstanding balance
        as
        of September 30, 2006 was approximately $111,000, net of allowance.
 
 During
        March 2005, we and VRM II sold the
        126
        unit hotel in Mesquite, Nevada for $5,473,000 of which our share of the proceeds
        were approximately $1.8 million which resulted in a loss of approximately
        $389,000. In
        addition, during June 2005, we and VRM II entered into a settlement agreement
        with the guarantors of the loan in the amount of $2,000,000 in exchange for
        a
        release of their personal guarantees of which our share was approximately
        $640,000. The balance is secured by a second trust deed and is payable in
        a
        first installment of $100,000 due in July 2005 and monthly interest only
        payments of 5% on $1,100,000 from July 2005 through July 2008, at which time
        the
        entire balance is due. The guarantors are entitled to a discount of $782,000
        from the principal balance in the event the entire balance is paid by December
        2006. The first installment was received and recognized as income in July
        2005,
        of which our portion was $32,000. Payments will be recognized as income when
        received. For the five months ended September 30, 2006, we received
        approximately $5,000 in interest payments. This note is fully
        reserved.
 
 During
        November 2004, we and VRM II sold the 140 Unit/224 beds senior facility in
        Mesa,
        Arizona of which our portion of the consideration received totaled $1,009,000.
        We and VRM II received a promissory note from the original guarantor in the
        amount of $478,000 of which our portion was $67,000. The promissory note
        is
        payable in interest only payments of 8% on the principal balance outstanding.
        Commencing June 25, 2005 through May 25, 2006, monthly payments shall increase
        to $15,000 and be applied to principal and accrued interest. Beginning June
        25,
        2006 through May 25, 2009 payments are to increase to $20,000 monthly. Due
        to
        the uncertainty of collectibility, we have provided a valuation allowance
        for
        the entire balance of the promissory note. Income
        will be recognized when payments are received. For
        the
        five months ended September 30, 2006, we received approximately $24,000 in principal and interest
        payments. This
        note
        is fully reserved.
 
 During
        December 2005, we and VRM II sold the 460-acre residential subdivision in
        Lake
        Travis, TX for $5.5 million, of which our portion was $1.8 million. The purchase
        price included cash proceeds of $5 million and a $500,000 note receivable
        with
        an imputed interest rate of 8% in July 2006. A net gain of $71,000 resulted
        in
        this transaction, of which our portion was $24,000. The purchaser has defaulted
        on the note and our manager is pursuing litigation. Our portion of the
        outstanding balance as of September 30, 2006 was $171,000.

 In
        May
        2006, we financed a 12 month insurance policy for Directors and Officers
        liability, with an annual interest rate of 6.92%. The agreement required
        a down
        payment of $49,000 and nine monthly payments of approximately $22,000 beginning
        on May 27, 2006. At September 30, 2006 the outstanding balance of the note
        was

 **NOTE
        J — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**
 
 On
        September 13, 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”),
“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Qualifying
        Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which provides interpretive
        guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements
        in
        quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality
        assessment. SAB 108 is effective for companies with fiscal years ending after
        November 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company in its fiscal
        year ending December 31, 2006. However, early application is encouraged in
        any
        report for an interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November
        15,
        2006, filed after the publication of this guidance. The Company is currently
        assessing the impact of the adoption of SAB 108.
 
 In
        September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS
        157 - *Fair
        Value Measurements* (“FAS
        157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
        value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures
        about
        fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
        pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
        previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
        the
        relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
        any
        new fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements
        issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
        within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the
        Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently
        assessing the impact of the adoption of this Statement.
 
 **NOTE
        K — LEGAL MATTERS INVOLVING THE MANAGER**
 
 The
        United States Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “Commission”) conducted
        an investigation of certain matters related to us, our Manager, Vestin Capital,
        VRM II and Fund III. We fully cooperated during the course of the investigation.
        On September 27, 2006, the investigation was resolved through the entry of
        an
        Administrative Order by the Commission (the “Order”). Our Manager, Vestin
        Mortgage and its Chief Executive Officer, Michael Shustek, as well as Vestin
        Capital (collectively, the “Respondents”), consented to the entry of the Order
        without admitting or denying the findings therein. In the Order, the Commission
        finds that the Respondents violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933 through the use of certain slide presentations in
        connection with the sale of units in Fund III and in Fund II, the predecessor
        to
        VRM II. The Respondents consented to the entry of a cease and desist order,
        the
        payment by Mr. Shustek of a fine of $100,000 and Mr. Shustek’s suspension from
        association with any broker or dealer for a period of six months. In addition,
        the Respondents agreed to implement certain undertakings with respect to
        future
        sales of securities. We are not a party to the Order and we do not expect
        that
        the sanctions imposed upon the Respondents will have any material affect
        upon
        our operations.

        Vestin Mortgage, Inc. and Michael V. Shustek (“Defendants”) are defendants in a
        civil action filed by 88 separate plaintiffs (“Plaintiffs”) in Superior Court
        for Clark County, Nevada. The Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that
        Defendants: breached certain alleged contractual obligations owed to Plaintiffs;
        breached fiduciary duties supposedly owed to Plaintiffs; and misrepresented
        or
        omitted material facts regarding the conversion of Fund II into VRM II. The
        Action seeks monetary damages and a rescission of the REIT conversion. The
        Defendants believe that the allegations are without merit and that they have
        adequate defenses. The Defendants intend to undertake a vigorous defense.
        The
        terms of VRM II’s management agreement and Fund II’s operating agreement contain
        indemnity provisions whereby ,
        Vestin

        and Vestin Mortgage, Inc. (“Defendants”) are defendants in a breach of contract
        action filed in San Diego Superior Court by certain plaintiffs who allege,
        among
        other things, that they were wrongfully denied appraisal rights in connection
        with the merger of Fund II into Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. The action
        is
        being brought as a purported class action on behalf of all members of Vestin
        Fund II who did not vote in favor of the merger. The Defendants believe that
        the
        allegations are without merit and that they have adequate defenses. The
        Defendants intend to undertake a vigorous defense. The terms of VRM II’s
        management agreement and Fund II’s Operating Agreement contain indemnity

 Our
        Manager is involved in a number of legal proceedings concerning matters arising
        in connection with the conduct of its business activities. The Manager believes
        it has meritorious defenses to each of these actions and intends to defend
        them
        vigorously. The Manager believes that it is not a party to any pending legal
        or
        arbitration proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the
        Manager’s financial condition or results of operations or cash flows, although
        it is possible that the outcome of any such proceedings could have a material
        impact on the Manager’s net income in any particular period.
 
 **NOTE
        L — LEGAL MATTERS INVOLVING THE COMPANY**
 
 Vestin
        Group, Vestin Mortgage, and Del Mar Mortgage, Inc., a company wholly owned
        by
        Michael V. Shustek, the sole stockholder and CEO of Vestin Group, are defendants
        in a civil action entitled Desert Land, LLC et al. v. Owens Financial Group,
        Inc. et al (the “Action”). The Action is based upon allegations that Del Mar
        Mortgage, Inc. and/or Vestin Mortgage charged unlawful fees on various loans
        arranged by them in 1999, prior to the formation of Vestin Fund I, LLC. Desert
        Land sought in excess of $10 million in monetary damages. On April 10, 2003,
        the
        United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “Court”) entered
        judgment jointly and severally in favor of Desert Land against Vestin Group,
        Vestin Mortgage and Del Mar Mortgage, Inc. Judgment was predicated upon the
        Court’s finding that Del Mar Mortgage, Inc. received an unlawful penalty fee
        from the plaintiffs.
 
 The
        defendants subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration. The Court denied
        the
        motion and, on August 13, 2003, held that Vestin Group, Vestin Mortgage,
        and Del
        Mar Mortgage, Inc. were jointly and severally liable for the judgment in
        the
        amount of $5,683,312 (which amount includes prejudgment interest and attorney’s
        fees). On August 27, 2003, the Court stayed execution of the judgment against
        Vestin Group and Vestin Mortgage based upon the posting of a bond in the
        amount
        of $5,830,000. Mr. Shustek personally posted a cash bond without any cost
        or
        obligation to Vestin Group and Vestin Mortgage. Additionally, Del Mar Mortgage,
        Inc. had indemnified Vestin Group and Vestin Mortgage for any losses and
        expenses in connection with the Action, and Mr. Shustek had guaranteed the
        indemnification with his cash bond. On September 12, 2003, all of the defendants
        held liable to Desert Land appealed the judgment to the United States Court
        of
        Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which heard the case on October 18, 2005.
        On
        November 15, 2005, the Ninth Circuit vacated the judgment of the District
        Court
        and dismissed the state law claims against the defendants without prejudice
        on
        the basis that the District Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction in the
        case. On November 29, 2005, Desert Land petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court
        for
        rehearing with a suggestion that the matter be heard en banc. On December
        16,
        2005, the District Court issued an Order releasing the bond, and on January
        6,
        2006, the Ninth Circuit denied Desert Land’s petition and the matter remains
        dismissed.
 
 On
        or
        about April 6, 2006, Desert Land filed a Writ of Certiorari seeking review
        of
        the 9th Circuit’s decision by the United States Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme
        Court denied Desert Land’s Writ of Certiorari on June 12, 2006, effectively
        ending this action.

        filed by Desert Land in the United States District Court, with the exception

        March 6, 2006, Desert Land amended the state court complaint to name us as
        a
        defendant. Desert Land alleges that one or more of the defendants have
        transferred assets to other entities without receiving reasonable value
        therefore; alleges plaintiffs are informed and believe that defendants have
        made
        such transfers with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud Desert
        Land;
        that such transfers made the transferor insolvent and that sometime between
        February 27 and April 1, 2003, Vestin Group transferred $1.6 million to us
        for
        that purpose. The state court complaint further alleges that Desert Land
        is
        entitled to avoid such transfers and that pursuant to NRS 112.20, Desert
        Land is
        entitled to an injunction to enjoin defendants from further disposition of
        assets. Additionally, Del Mar Mortgage, Inc. has indemnified Vestin Group
        and
        Vestin Mortgage for any losses and expenses in connection with the Action,
        and
        Mr. Shustek has guaranteed the indemnification.
 
 On
        April
        21, 2006, through our Manager, we filed a complaint in the Circuit Court
        of the
        First Circuit in Hawaii to expedite our efforts to foreclose upon first trust
        deeds secured by the assets of RightStar International, Inc. (the “RightStar
        Trust Deeds”). In the filing, we allege that the State of Hawaii has
        unreasonably blocked the foreclosure without any legal basis for doing so.
        On
        April 24, 2006, the State of Hawaii responded by filing allegations against
        Vestin Mortgage, Inc., and VRM II alleging that these Vestin entities improperly
        influenced the former RightStar trustees to transfer trust funds to VRM II.
        Our
        Manager believes the State’s claims to be without merit and intend to vigorously
        pursue their remedies while defending against any allegations made by the
        State.
        The outcome of this litigation is unforeseeable at this time.
 
 In
        addition to the matters described above, we are involved in a number of other
        legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct
        of
        our business activities. We believe we have meritorious defenses to each
        of
        these actions and intend to defend them vigorously. Other than the matters
        described above, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal
        or
        arbitration proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on our
        financial condition or results of operations or cash flows, although it is
        possible that the outcome of any such proceedings could have a material impact
        on our net income in any particular period.
 
 **NOTE
        M — DIVIDEND REQUIREMENT**
 
 To
        maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to make dividend distributions,
        other than capital gain dividends, to our stockholders each year in an amount
        at
        least equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of our taxable income, computed without
        regards to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain, and (b)
        90% of
        the net income, after tax, from foreclosure property, minus (2) the sum of
        certain specified items of non-cash income over 5% of our REIT taxable income.
        All dividend distributions will be made at the discretion of our Board of
        Directors and will depend on our earnings, both tax and GAAP, financial
        condition, maintenance of REIT status and such other factors as the Board
        of
        Directors deems relevant.
 
 **NOTE
        N — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**
 
 During
        October 2006, we, Vestin Origination, Inc., VRM II and Fund III entered into
        an
        intercreditor agreement with a third party totaling $20 million related to
        the
        funding of a $31.3 million construction real estate loan, of which approximately
        $22.9 million has been funded through October 26, 2006. The secured borrowing
        will be recognized pro rata between us, VRM II and Fund III for the amount
        each
        entity has funded for the loan. As of October 26, our portion is approximately
        $718,000. In the event VRM II and Fund III were unable to pay there pro rata
        share of the secured borrowing, we would be liable for the full outstanding
        balance.
 
 The
        Board
        of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, for the
        three months ended September 30, 2006, on October 24, 2006 to be paid on
        November 29, 2006, to the stockholders of record as of November 13,
        2006.

        INDEPENDENT REGISTEREDPUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
 To
        the
        Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vestin Realty Mortgage I,
        Inc.:
 
 We
        have
        reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vestin Realty Mortgage
        I, Inc. and its subsidiary as of September 30, 2006, and the related
        consolidated statements of income for the three-month and five-month periods
        ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and stockholders’ equity and comprehensive
        income for the five-month period ended September 30, 2006, and cash flows
        for
        the five-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. All information
        included in these consolidated financial statements is the representation
        of the
        management of Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc.
 
 We
        conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
        Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
        information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
        inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It
        is
        substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
        standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective
        of
        which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
        taken
        as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
 Based
        on
        our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be
        made
        to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for
        them
        to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
        United
        States of America.
 
 We
        have
        previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
        Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet
        of
        Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. as of April 30, 2006 and the related consolidated
        statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the ten-month
        transition period ended April 30, 2006, managements assessment of the
        effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December
        31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting
        as of December 31, 2005, and in our report dated June 27, 2006, we expressed
        an
        unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements; an unqualified
        opinion on managements assessment of, and an adverse opinion on the effective
        operation of internal control over financial reporting. The consolidated
        financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of
        internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented
        herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
        consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all
        material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which
        it
        has been derived.

 **Overview**
 
 Our
        primary business objective is to generate income by investing in real estate
        loans. We believe there is a significant market opportunity to make real
        estate
        loans to owners and developers of real property whose financing needs are
        not
        met by traditional real estate lenders. The loan underwriting standards our
        Manager utilizes are less strict than traditional real estate lenders. In
        addition, one of our competitive advantages is our ability to approve loan
        applications more quickly than traditional lenders. As a result, in certain
        cases, we may make real estate loans that are riskier than real estate loans
        made by commercial banks. However, in return we seek a higher interest rate
        and
        our Manager takes steps to mitigate the lending risks such as imposing a
        lower
        loan to value ratio. While we may assume more risk than traditional real
        estate
        lenders, in return, we seek to generate higher yields from our real estate
        loans.
 
 Our
        operating results are affected primarily by: (i) the amount of capital we
        have
        to invest in real estate loans, (ii) the level of real estate lending activity
        in the markets we service, (iii) our ability to identify and work with suitable
        borrowers, (iv) the interest rates we are able to charge on our loans and
        (v)
        the level of non-performing assets, foreclosures and related loan losses
        which
        we may experience. Our capital, subject to a 3% reserve, will constitute
        the
        bulk of the funds we have available for investment in real estate loans.
        We do
        not have any arrangements in place to materially increase the funds we will
        have
        available to invest from any other sources. See discussion under - “Capital and
        Liquidity.”

 Our
        operating results during the past several years have been adversely affected
        by
        allowances for non-performing loans. At September 30, 2006, the following
        four
        loans were non-performing (based on current information and events, it is
        probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
        contractual terms of the loan agreement or when the payment of interest is
        90
        days past due); RightStar (Part I & Part II), Monterrey Associates and Rio
        Vista Nevada. These loans are currently carried on our books at a value of
        approximately $9.6 million, net of allowance for loan losses of approximately
        $4.7 million for the RightStar loans. These loans have been placed on
        non-accrual of interest status and are the subject of pending foreclosure
        proceedings. For additional information see “Specific Loan Allowance” in Note D
        - *Investment
        Real Estate Loans* of the
        Notes to Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 *Financial
        Statements* of
        this
        Report Form 10-Q. Non-performing assets, net of allowance for loan losses,
        totaled approximately $9.6 million or 14.69% of our total assets as of September
        30, 2006 as compared to $10.3 million or 16.1% of our total assets as of
        April
        30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, non-performing assets consist of approximately
        $9.6 million of non-performing loans, net of allowance for loan losses of
        approximately $4.7 million. During July 2006, we and VRM II sold the land
        containing residential lots in Henderson, NV, for approximately $3.8 million,
        of
        which we received approximately $2.5 million, which will result in a gain
        of
        $41,000. The level of non-performing assets may reflect the continuing weakness
        in certain sectors of the economy and the risk inherent in our business
        strategy, which entails more lenient underwriting standards and expedited
        loan
        approval procedures. If the economy weakens and our borrowers who develop
        and
        sell commercial real estate projects are unable to complete their projects
        or
        obtain takeout financing or are otherwise adversely impacted, we may experience
        an increase in loan defaults which may reduce the amount of funds we have
        to pay
        dividends to our stockholders. Such conditions may also require us to
        restructure loans. The weighted average term of our outstanding loans as
        of
        September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006 was 17 and 18 months,
        respectively.
  Uncertain
          economic conditions during the next year could have a material impact on
          the
          collectibility of our loans. A downturn in the real estate markets where
          we
          conduct business might increase defaults on our loans and might require
          us to
          record additional reserves with respect to non-performing loans. Recognizing
          the
          risk, we seek to maintain an adequate loan-to-value ratio which, as of
          September
          30, 2006, was 71.98% on a weighted average basis, generally using appraisals
          prepared on an “as-if developed” basis in connection with the loan origination.
          In this manner, we hope to retain sufficient cushion in the underlying
          equity
          position to protect the value of our loans in the event of a default.
          Nevertheless, no assurances can be given that a marked increase in loan
          defaults
          accompanied by a rapid decline in real estate values will not have a material
          adverse effect upon our financial condition and operating
          results.
 
 We
        generally invest in real estate loans throughout the areas in which Vestin
        Mortgage and its correspondents have experience. As of September 30, 2006
        our
        loans were in the following states; Arizona, California, Hawaii, Mississippi,
        Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

 *Total
        Revenues* :
        For the
        three months ended September 30, 2006 total revenues decreased by approximately
        $864,000 or 39% compared to the same period in 2005 due in significant part
        to
        the following factors:
 
 ·
            Our
                  interest income decreased by approximately $621,000. In the 2005
                  period we
                  recognized deferred interest income of approximately $495,000 relating
                  to
                  two seller financed real estate loans which paid off during the
                  three
                  months ended September 30, 2005. Additionally, the decrease in
                  interest
                  income is attributable to the decrease of approximately $6.2 million
                  in
                  the monthly average balance in investments in real estate loans
                  during the
                  three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same
                  period in
                  2005. The decline in investments in real estate loans is attributable
                  to
                  the reduction in capital (resulting from membership unit redemptions)
                  we
                  had available for investments. For additional information see Note

                  on
                  Form 10-Q. Fund I’s capital was reduced by redemptions of membership units
                  of approximately $8.3 million paid to its’ members during the ten month
                  transition period ended April 30,

            Included
                in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
                a
                settlement received in the amount of $272,000. We received no related
                income in the same period in 2006. 
 *Total
        Expenses* :
        For the
        three months ended September 30, 2006, total expenses were approximately
        $390,000 compared to approximately $230,000 for the three months ended September
        30, 2005, an increase of approximately $160,000 or 70%. Expenses were primarily
        affected by the following factors:
 
 ·
            Interest
                expense decreased by approximately $48,000 primarily due to the decrease
                of secured borrowing of approximately $1.6 million from September
                30, 2005
                compared to September 30, 2006. 
 ·
            Professional
                fees increased approximately $106,000 for the three months ended
                September
                30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to
                professional expenses incurred relating to financial reporting and
                legal
                fees related to real estate loans during the three months ended September
                30, 2006. For additional information see Note M -*Legal

                Form 10-Q. 
 ·
            Other
                expenses included $72,000 in liability insurance expense for the
                Company’s
                directors and officers and expenses relating to investor services
                for the
                three months ended September 30, 2006. There were no similar expenses
                incurred during the same period in 2005. 
 *Total
        Income (Loss) from Real Estate Held for Sale* :
        For the
        three months ended September 30, 2006, total income from real estate held
        for
        sale was approximately $40,000 compared to a loss of $75,000 the same period
        in
        2005 due in significant part to the following factors:
 
 ·
            During
                the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a gain on
                the sale
                of 82 residential lots in Henderson, Nevada of approximately $41,000.
                No
                gain on sale of real estate was incurred during the same period in
                2005. 
 ·
            We
                incurred approximately $75,000 in expenses related to real estate
                held for
                sale for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,000
                during the same period in 2006. As of September 30, 2006 we have
                no real
                estate held for sale.

 *Total
        Revenues* :
        For the
        five months ended September 30, 2006 total revenues decreased by approximately
        $1.2 million or 37% compared to the same period in 2005 due in significant
        part
        to the following factors:
 
 ·
            Our
                interest income decreased by approximately $1.1 million primarily
                as the
                result of a the recognition of deferred interest income referred
                to above
                and the decrease of approximately $9.1 million in the monthly average
                balance in investments in real estate loans during the five month
                period
                ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The
                decline
                in investments in real estate loans is attributable to the reduction
                in
                capital (resulting from membership unit redemptions) we had available
                for

 ·
            This
                decline was partially offset by the increase in bank interest income,
                which is included in other income, earned on cash and cash equivalents
                accounts held at banking institutions. Bank interest income increased
                by
                approximately $108,000 during the five month period ended September
                30,
                2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increase is attributed
                to a
                higher average monthly balance in cash and cash equivalents during
                the
                five months ended September 30, 2006. 
 *Total
        Expenses* :
        For the
        five months ended September 30, 2006, total expenses were approximately $586,000
        compared to approximately $1.8 million for the five months ended September
        30,
        2005, a decrease of approximately $1.2 million or 68%. Expenses were primarily
        affected by the following factors:
 
 ·
            During
                the five months ended September 30, 2005, expenses were significantly
                impacted by the recognition of provisions for loan losses of approximately
                $1.2 million related to the loans secured by 4 cemeteries and 8 mortuaries
                in Hawaii. For additional information see “Specific Loan Allowance” in

                on
                Form 10-Q. There were no additions to the provision for loan loss
                during
                the five months ended September 30, 2006. 
 ·
            Interest
                expense decreased by approximately $163,000 primarily due to the
                decrease
                in secured borrowing of approximately $1.6 million from September
                30, 2005
                compared to September 30, 2006. 
 ·
            Other
                expenses included $118,000 in liability insurance expense for the
                Company’s directors and officers and expenses relating to investor
                services for the five months ended September 30, 2006. There were
                no
                similar expenses incurred during the same period in
                2005. 
 *Total
        Income (Loss) from Real Estate Held for Sale* :
        For the
        three months ended September 30, 2006, total income from real estate held
        for
        sale was approximately $39,000 compared to a loss of $510,000 the same period
        in
        2005 due in significant part to the following factors:
 
 ·
            During
                the five months ended September 30, 2005 we recorded a charge of
                approximately $354,000 in connection with a write-downs on real estate
                for
                sale related to residential lots in Henderson, Nevada. There were
                no
                write-downs on real estate held for sale during the five months ended
                September 30, 2006. 
 ·
            We
                incurred approximately $156,000 in expenses related to real estate
                held
                for sale for the five months ended September 30, 2005 compared to
                $2,000
                during the same period in 2006. As of September 30, 2006 we have
                no real
                estate held for sale. 
 *Net
        Income* .
        Overall, net income for the three and five months ended September 30, 2006
        totaled approximately $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as compared
        to $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the three and five months ended September
        30, 2005.
 
 *Dividends* .
        To
        maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to make distributions, other
        than
        capital gain dividends, to our stockholders each year in an amount at least
        equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of our taxable income, computed without regards
        to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain, and (b) 90% of
        the net
        income, after tax, from foreclosure property, minus (2) the sum of certain
        specified items of non-cash income over 5% of our REIT taxable income. During
        the five months ended September 30, 2006 we paid dividends to our shareholders
        of approximately $549,000. On October 24, 2006 the Board of Directors declared
        a
        quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, for the three months ended September
        30, 2006, to be paid on November 29, 2006, to the stockholders of record
        as of
        November 13, 2006.

 **CAPITAL
        AND LIQUIDITY**
 
 Liquidity
        is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements,
        including ongoing commitments to fund lending activities and general operating
        purposes. Subject to a 3% reserve, we generally use all of our available
        funds
        to invest in real estate loans. Distributable cash flow generated from such
        loans is paid out to our stockholders, in the form of a dividend. We do not
        anticipate the need for hiring any employees, acquiring fixed assets such
        as
        office equipment or furniture, or incurring material office expenses during
        the
        next twelve months because Vestin Mortgage will manage our affairs. We may
        pay
        Vestin Mortgage an annual management fee of up to 0.25% of our aggregate
        capital
        received by us and Fund I from the sale of shares or membership
        units.
 
 During
        the five months ended September 30, 2006, cash flows provided by operating
        activities approximated $1.2 million. Investing activities consisted of cash
        provided by loan payoffs of approximately $12.6 million. Cash used for new
        investments and purchases of real estate loans totaled approximately $24.5
        million. In addition, investing activities consisted of the purchase of $2.5
        million in certificates of deposit and proceeds from maturities of certificates
        of deposit totaling $2.7 million. Financing activities consisted of payments
        on
        a note payable in the amount of approximately $106,000 and dividends to
        stockholders, net of reinvestment, of $0.5 million.
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, we had $723,000 in cash, $150,000 in certificates of
        deposit, $1,971,000 in marketable securities - related party and approximately
        $65.2 million in total assets. We intend to meet short-term working capital
        needs through a combination of proceeds from loan payoffs, loan sales and/or
        borrowings. We believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our operating
        needs in the near term.
 
 Since
        we
        distribute most or all of our distributable cash generated by operations,
        our
        sources of liquidity include: repayments of outstanding loans, dividend
        reinvestments by our stockholders and arrangements with third parties to
        participate in our loans and proceeds from issuance of note payable and secured
        borrowings.
 
 We
        have
        no current plans to sell any new shares except through our dividend reinvestment
        program. The level of dividend reinvestment in the future will depend upon
        our
        performance, as well as the number of our stockholders who prefer to reinvest
        rather than receive current dividends.
 
 We
        rely
        primarily upon repayment of outstanding loans to provide capital for investment
        in new loans. Any significant level of defaults on outstanding loans could
        reduce the funds we have available for investment in new loans. Resulting
        foreclosure proceedings may not generate full repayment of our loans and
        may
        result in significant delays in the return of invested funds. This would
        diminish our capital resources and would impair our ability to invest in
        new
        loans. Non-performing assets include loans in non-accrual status, net of
        allowance for loan losses of $9.6 million as of September 30, 2006 compared
        to
        non-performing assets of $10.3 million, which includes $7.8 million in loans
        in
        non-accrual status, net of allowance for loan losses, and $2.5 million in
        real
        estate held for sale, as of April 30, 2006. It is possible that no earnings
        will
        be recognized from these assets until they are disposed of, or that no earnings
        will be recognized at all, and the time it will take to dispose of these
        assets
        cannot be predicted. Our Manager believes that these non-performing assets
        are a
        result of factors unique to specific borrowers and properties. Because of
        the
        estimated value of the underlying properties, we do not currently believe
        that
        any losses beyond those already recognized will be incurred from these assets
        upon final disposition. However, it is possible that we will not be able
        to
        realize the full estimated carrying values upon disposition.
 
 To
        maintain our status as a REIT, we will be required to make distributions,
        other
        than capital gain dividends, to our stockholders each year in an amount at
        least
        equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of our taxable income, computed without regards
        to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain, and (b) 90% of
        the net
        income, after tax, from foreclosure property, minus (2) the sum of certain
        specified items of non-cash income over 5% of our REIT taxable
        income.

 Loans
        in
        which third party investors have participated through inter-creditor agreements
        (“Inter-creditor Agreements”) are accounted for as secured borrowings in
        accordance with FAS 140 - *Accounting
        for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
        Liabilities* (“FAS
        140”). The Inter-creditor Agreements provide us additional funding sources for
        real estate loans whereby a third party investor (the “Investor”) may
        participate on a senior basis in certain real estate loans with us and/or
        VRM II
        and/or Fund III (collectively, the “Lead Lenders”). In the event of borrower
        non-performance, the Inter-creditor Agreements generally provide that the
        Lead
        Lenders must repay the Investor’s loan amount either by (i) continuing to remit
        to the Investor the interest due on the participated loan amount; (ii)
        substituting an alternative loan acceptable to the Investor; or (iii)
        repurchasing the participation from the Investor for the outstanding balance
        plus accrued interest.
 
 As
        of
        September 30, 2006 and April 30, 2006, we had no Inter-creditor
        Agreements.
 
 We
        maintain working capital reserves of approximately 3% in cash and cash
        equivalents, certificates of deposits and short-term investments or liquid
        marketable securities. This reserve is available to pay expenses in excess
        of
        revenues, satisfy obligations of underlying properties, expend money to satisfy
        our unforeseen obligations and for other permitted uses of working
        capital.
 
 **INVESTMENTS
        IN REAL ESTATE LOANS SECURED BY REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO**
 
 We
        offer
        five real estate loan products consisting of commercial, construction,
        acquisition and development, land, and residential loans. The effective interest
        rates on all product categories range from 5% to 14%. Revenue by product
        will
        fluctuate based upon relative balances during the period. We had investments
        in
        32 real estate loans as of September 30, 2006, with a balance of $65.4 million
        as compared to investments in 25 real estate loans as of April 30, 2006,
        with a
        balance of $53.5 million.
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, the following loans were non-performing (based on current
        information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect
        all
        amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when
        the
        payment of interest is 90 days past due); RightStar (Part I & Part II),
        Monterrey Associates and Rio Vista Nevada. These loans are currently carried
        on
        our books at a value of approximately $9.6 million, net of allowance for
        loan
        losses of approximately $4.7 million for the RightStar loans. These loans
        have
        been placed on non-accrual of interest status and are the subject of pending
        foreclosure proceedings.
 
 On
        May 1,
        2006 the bankruptcy plan of Mid-State Raceway, Inc for Vernon Downs became
        effective. As a result of the bankruptcy plan, we and VRM II received the
        following:
 
 ·
            A
                new first deed of trust was received from the buyer, Vernon Downs
                Acquisition, LLC, approximating $22.8 million, of which our portion
                is
                approximately $3.2 million. The new terms included a $1.2 million
                principal payment, reducing our principal balance by approximately
                $171,000. This transaction resulted in us recording unearned revenue
                of
                approximately $171,000, to be recognized through March 2007. The
                terms of
                the loan are 9% due in 6 months, with an option to extend, which
                was
                granted in September 2006, for an additional 6 months for a
                fee. 
 ·
            The
                loan is secured by a first deed of trust on Vernon Downs properties
                and a
                150% personal guarantee by the borrowers. 
 ·
            Prepayment
                of interest in the aggregate amount of $500,000, of which our portion
                was
                approximately $71,000. 
 ·
            Delay
                fees from the date of the bankruptcy confirmation until the effective
                date
                in the aggregate amount of $282,000 of which our portion was approximately
                $40,000. 
 ·
            Payment
                of past due forbearance fees of approximately $555,000 of which our
                portion was approximately $79,000, to be recognized as unearned revenue

 Our
        Manager periodically reviews and makes a determination as to whether the
        allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential losses. Additions
        to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for
        loan
        losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the
        allowance for loan losses or included as income when the asset is disposed.
        As
        of September 30, 2006, we have provided a specific reserve related to the
        4
        cemeteries and 8 mortuaries in Hawaii, of which our portion of the specific
        reserve is approximately $4.7 million. Our Manager evaluated the loans and
        concluded that the remaining underlying collateral was sufficient to protect
        us
        against further losses of principal or interest. Our Manager will continue
        to
        evaluate these loans in order to determine if any other allowance for loan
        losses should be recorded. For additional information on our investments
        in real
        estate loans, refer to Note D - *Investments
        In Real Estate Loans* of the
        Notes to the Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 *Financial Statements* of
        this
        Report Form 10-Q.
 
 **Asset
        Quality and Loan Reserves**
 
 Losses
        may occur from investing in real estate loans. The amounts of losses will
        vary
        as the loan portfolio is affected by changing economic conditions and the
        financial condition of borrowers.
 
 The
        conclusion that a real estate loan is uncollectible or that collectibility
        is
        doubtful is a matter of judgment. On a quarterly basis, the Manager evaluates
        our real estate loan portfolio for impairment. The fact that a loan is
        temporarily past due does not necessarily mean that the loan is impaired.
        Rather, all relevant circumstances are considered by our Manager to determine
        impairment and the need for specific reserves. Such evaluation, which includes
        a
        review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
        considers among other matters:
 
 ·
            Prevailing
                economic conditions; 
 ·
            Historical
                experience; 
 ·
            The
                nature and volume of the loan portfolio; 
 ·
            The
                borrowers’ financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the
                borrowers’ ability to pay; 
 ·
            Evaluation
                of industry trends; and 
 ·
            Estimated
                net realizable value of any underlying collateral in relation to
                the real
                estate loan amount. 
 Based
        upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance
        for
        loan losses is adequate to cover any potential losses. Additions to the
        allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses.
        Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance
        for
        loan losses. For additional information regarding the roll-forward of the
        allowance for loan losses for the five months ended September 30, 2006, refer

 **Investments
        in Real Estate Held for Sale**
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, we held no investments in real estate held for sale.
        During
        July 2006, we and VRM II sold the land containing residential lots in Henderson,
        NV, for approximately $3.8 million, of which we received approximately $2.5
        million resulting in a gain of $41,000. The investments in real estate held
        for
        sale were accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to
        sell
        with fair value based on appraisals and knowledge of local market conditions.
        It
        is not our intent to invest in or own real estate as a long-term investment.
        We
        seek to sell properties acquired through foreclosure as quickly as circumstances
        permit. For additional information on our investments in real estate held
        for
        sale, refer to Note E - *Real

 **Investments
        in Real Estate Held for Sale — Seller Financed**
 
 At
        September 30, 2006, we held an interest in two **** properties
        with a total carrying value of approximately $8.8 million, which have been
        sold
        in transactions where we provided the financing to the purchaser. GAAP requires
        us to include these properties in real estate held for sale until the borrower
        has met and maintained a certain percentage of equity ownership, which ranges
        from 10% to 25%. We may share ownership of such properties with VRM II, Fund
        III, the Manager, or other related and/or unrelated parties. These investments
        in real estate held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair
        value less costs to sell with fair value based on appraisals and knowledge
        of
        local market conditions. For additional information on our investments in

 **CRITICAL
        ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**
 
 **Revenue
        Recognition**
 
 Interest
        income on loans is accrued by the effective interest method. We do not recognize
        interest income from loans once they are determined to be impaired. A loan
        is
        impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that
        we
        will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms
        of
        the loan agreement or when the payment of interest is 90 days past
        due.
 
 The
        following table presents a sensitivity analysis to show the impact on our
        financial condition at September 30, 2006 from fluctuations in weighted average

        It is not intended to imply our expectation of future revenues or to estimate
        earnings. We believe that the assumptions used above are appropriate to
        illustrate the possible material impact on the financial

 **Allowance
        for Loan Losses**
 
 We
        maintain an allowance for loan losses on our investments in real estate loans
        for estimated credit impairment in our investment in real estate loans
        portfolio. The Manager’s estimate of losses is based on a number of factors
        including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse
        situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, prevailing economic
        conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additions to
        the
        allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an
        assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses on the
        loans.
        Actual losses on loans are recorded as a charge-off or a reduction to the
        allowance for loan losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged
        off are added back to the allowance or included as income.
 
 The
        following table presents a sensitivity analysis to show the impact on our
        financial condition at September 30, 2006 from increases and decreases to
        our
        allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio:

 Estimating
        allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying
        collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency
        and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect
        loan collections or taking possession of the property. As a non-conventional
        lender willing to invest in loans to borrowers who may not meet the credit
        standards of conventional lenders, the default rate on our loans could be
        higher
        than those generally experienced in the mortgage lending industry. We generally
        approve loans more quickly than other real estate lenders and, due to our
        expedited underwriting process, there is a risk that the credit inquiry we
        perform will not reveal all material facts pertaining to a borrower and the
        security.
 
 We
        may
        discover additional facts and circumstances as we continue our efforts in
        the
        collection and foreclosure processes. This additional information often causes
        management to reassess its estimates. In recent years, we have revised estimates
        of our allowance for loan losses. Circumstances that have caused significant
        changes in our estimated allowance include, but not limited to:

            Declines
                in real estate market conditions that can cause a decrease in expected
                market value; 
 ·
            Discovery
                of undisclosed liens for community improvement bonds, easements and
                delinquent property taxes; 
 ·
            Lack
                of progress on real estate developments after we advance funds. We
                customarily utilize disbursement agents to monitor the progress of
                real
                estate developments and approve loan advances. After further inspection
                of
                the related property, progress on construction occasionally does
                not
                substantiate an increase in value to support the related loan
                advances; 
 ·
            Unanticipated
                legal or business issues that may arise subsequent to loan origination
                or
                upon the sale of foreclosed upon property;
                and 
 ·
            Appraisals,
                which are only opinions of value at the time of the appraisal, may
                not
                accurately reflect the value of the
                property.  -

 **Real
        Estate Held for Sale**
 
 Real
        estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and
        will
        be carried at the lower of the recorded amount, inclusive of any senior
        indebtedness, or the property's estimated fair value, less estimated costs
        to
        sell, with fair value based on appraisals and knowledge of local market
        conditions. While pursuing foreclosure actions, the Company seeks to identify
        potential purchasers of such property. It is not the Company's intent to
        invest
        in or own real estate as a long-term investment. In accordance with FAS 144
        - *Accounting
        for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,* the
        Company seeks to sell properties acquired through foreclosure as quickly
        as
        circumstances permit. The carrying values of real estate held for sale are
        assessed on a regular basis from updated appraisals, comparable sales values
        or
        purchase offers. As of September 30, 2006 we had no real estate held for
        sale.
 
 Management
        classifies real estate held for sale when the following criteria are
        met:
 
 ·
            Management
                commits to a plan to sell the properties; 
 ·
            The
                property is available for immediate sale in its present condition
                subject
                only to terms that are usual and
                customary; 
 ·
            An
                active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete
                a
                sale have been initiated; 
 ·
            The
                sale of the property is probable; 
 ·
            The
                property is being actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price;
                and 
 ·
            Withdrawal
                or significant modification of the sale is not
                likely. 
 **Real
        Estate Held for Sale - Seller Financed**
 
 We
        occasionally finance sales of foreclosed properties to independent third
        parties. In order to record a sale of real estate when the seller is providing
        continued financing, FAS 66 requires the buyer of the real estate to make
        minimum and initial continuing investments. Minimum initial investments as
        defined by FAS 66 range from 10% to 25% based on the type of real estate
        sold.
        In addition, FAS 66 limits commitments and contingent obligations incurred
        by a
        seller in order to record a sale.
 
 Because
        we occasionally foreclose on loans with raw land or developments in progress,
        available financing for such properties is often limited and we frequently
        provide financing up to 100% of the selling price on these properties. In
        addition, we may make additional loans to the buyer to continue development
        of a
        property. Although sale agreements are consummated at closing, they lack
        adequate initial investment by the buyer to qualify as a sales transaction
        as
        defined in FAS 66. These sale agreements are not recorded as a sale until
        the
        requirements of FAS 66 are met.
 
 These
        sales agreements are recorded under the deposit method or cost recovery method
        as defined in FAS 66. Under the deposit method, no profit is recognized and
        any
        cash received from the buyer is reported as a deposit liability on the balance
        sheet. Under the cost recovery method, no profit is recognized until payments
        by
        the buyer exceed the carrying basis of the property sold. Principal payments
        received will reduce the related receivable, and interest collections will
        be
        recorded as unrecognized gross profit on the balance sheet. The carrying
        values
        of these properties are included in real estate held for sale on the
        accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 **ITEM
        3.**  **QUANTITATIVE
        AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKETRISK**
 
 We
        are
        exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest rates. We do not
        deal
        in any foreign currencies and do not own any options, futures or other
        derivative instruments. We do not have a significant amount of
        debt.
 
 Most
        of
        our assets consist of investments in real estate loans, which from time to
        time
        include those that are financed under Inter-creditor Agreements. At September
        30, 2006, our aggregate investment in real estate loans was approximately
        $52.3
        million, net of allowance, with a weighted average effective interest rate
        of
        10.5%. We had no loans financed under Inter-creditor Agreements at September
        30,
        2006, which would be classified as assets under secured borrowing. Most of
        the
        real estate loans have an initial term of 12 months; the weighted average
        term
        of outstanding loans at September 30, 2006 was 17 months. All but one of
        the
        outstanding real estate loans at September 30, 2006 were fixed rate loans.
        All
        of the real estate loans are held for investment purposes; none are held
        for
        sale. We intend to hold such real estate loans to maturity. None of the real
        estate loans have prepayment penalties and five have an exit fee.
 
 Market
        fluctuations in interest rates generally do not affect the carrying value
        of our
        investment in real estate loans. However, significant and sustained changes
        in
        interest rates could affect our operating results. If interest rates decline
        significantly, some of the borrowers could prepay their loans with the proceeds
        of a refinancing at lower interest rates. This would reduce our earnings
        and
        funds available for dividend distribution to stockholders. On the other hand,
        a
        significant increase in interest rates could result in a slowdown in real
        estate
        development activity, which would reduce the demand for commercial real estate
        loans. As a result, we might encounter greater difficulty in identifying
        appropriate borrowers. We are not in a position to quantify the potential
        impact
        on our operating results from a material change in interest rates.
 
 The
        following table contains information about the investment in real estate
        loans
        held in our portfolio as of September 30, 2006. The presentation aggregates
        the
        investment in real estate loans by their maturity dates for maturities occurring
        in each of the years 2006 through 2009 and thereafter and separately aggregates
        the information for all maturities arising after 2010. The carrying values
        of
        these assets approximate their fair value as of September 30, 2006.

 At
        September 30, 2006, we also had approximately $2.8 million invested in cash,
        cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and marketable securities - related
        party. Approximately 3% of our assets will be held in such accounts as a
        cash
        reserve; additional deposits in such accounts will be made as funds are received
        from investors and repayment of loans pending the deployment of such funds
        in
        new real estate loans. We believe that these financial assets do not give
        rise
        to significant interest rate risk due to their short-term
        nature.

 **Disclosure
        Controls and Procedures**
 
 Our
        Manager’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and
        evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s
        disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange
        Act of
        1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2006.
 
 Our
        Manager’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
        Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
        by this report were not effective as a result of material weaknesses in internal
        controls discussed below.
 
 **Management’s
        Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
 
 Management
        is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
        over
        financial reporting for our Company, as such term is defined in Rules 13a−15(f)
        and 15d−15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial
        reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
        the
        reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
        for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial
        reporting includes those policies and procedures that: pertain to the
        maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
        reflect
        the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company; provide
        reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
        preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures
        of
        our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
        and directors of our Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding
        prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
        of our Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial
        statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
        reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
        evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
        controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
        the
        degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
        deteriorate.
 
 A
        material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
        deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
        misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
        or detected. As of September 30, 2006, management had identified the following
        material weaknesses in their assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
        control over financial reporting:
 
 ·
            *Controls
                over computer database of investments in real estate loans:*We
                did not establish effective controls over investments in real estate
                loans, specifically relating to the access to the computer database
                of
                investments in real estate loans which summarizes information used
                to
                prepare the related disclosures, including the classification of
                types of
                loan, portfolio percentage, loan to value percentage, and the geographical
                location of the investment in real estate loans. During the period
                ended
                September 30, 2006, management established and implemented controls,
                policies and procedures within our information technology department
                that
                are intended to provide monitoring and management of the computer
                systems
                access rights. Such procedures provide for various levels of access
                by
                certain individuals as deemed appropriate by management. These procedures
                also provide for appropriate approvals for programming changes, along
                with
                supporting documentation of such approvals. Management has reviewed
                all
                individuals and their functions and duties within our information
                technology department to establish these access and approval
                controls.  -

            *Controls
                over information recorded in the computer database of investments
                in real
                estate loans:*We
                identified errors in recording information in the computer database
                of
                investments in real estate loans related to the origination of new
                loans
                and loan servicing which summarizes information used to prepare the
                related disclosures, including the classification of types of loan,
                portfolio percentage, loan to value percentage, and the geographical
                location of the investment in real estate loans. During the period
                ended
                September 30, 2006, management established and implemented additional
                controls, policies and procedures within our loan origination department
                which require critical information recorded in the computer database
                to be
                reviewed and documented by an additional person following the information
                being recorded in the database. 
 ·
            *Controls
                over recording interest income from investments in real estate:*We
                identified errors in recording transactions specifically related
                to
                interest income from investments in real estate loans. During the
                review
                and evaluation of the design and operation of our controls related
                to
                recording interest income from investments in real estate loans,
                we
                recognized that controls and procedures were generally manual rather
                than
                automated and required additional manual controls including documented
                sign-offs by preparers and reviewers of various reports. During the
                period
                ended September 30, 2006, management established and implemented
                additional controls, policies and procedures within our loan servicing
                department which require documented sign-offs by the preparers and
                reviewers of these reports. 
 **Remediation
        Plan**
 
 To
        remediate our material weakness over the computer database of investments
        in
        real estate loans, management established and implemented controls, policies
        and
        procedures within our information technology department that are intended
        to
        provide monitoring and management of the computer systems access rights.
        Such
        procedures provide for various levels of access by certain individuals as
        deemed
        appropriate by management. These procedures also provide for appropriate
        approvals for programming changes, along with supporting documentation of
        such
        approvals. Management has reviewed all individuals and their functions and
        duties within our information technology department to establish these access
        and approval controls. Management will continue to test the design and operation
        of these controls and procedures to verify their effectiveness.
 
 To
        remediate our material weakness over information recorded in the computer
        database of investments in real estate loans, management established and
        implemented additional controls, policies and procedures within our loan
        origination and servicing departments which require critical information
        recorded in the computer database to be reviewed and documented by an additional
        person following the information being recorded in the database. Management
        will
        continue to test the design and operation of these controls and procedures
        to
        verify their effectiveness.
 
 To
        remediate our material weakness over recording interest income from investments
        in real estate loans, management established and implemented additional
        controls, policies and procedures within our loan servicing department which
        require documented sign-offs by the preparers and reviewers of monthly reports
        that reconcile subsidiary records to the general ledger. Management will
        continue to test the design and operation of these controls and procedures
        to
        verify their effectiveness.
 
 **Changes
        in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
 
 Our
        management has commenced with the remediation plan discussed above which
        includes establishing
        and implementing controls, policies and procedures within our information
        technology, loan origination and loan servicing departments. These controls
        have
        been implemented and will continue to be tested during our quarter ending
        December 31, 2006 to determine their effectiveness.

 Because
        of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
        can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within our Company
        have
        been or will be detected. Even effective internal control over financial
        reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial
        statement preparation. Furthermore, because of changes in conditions, the
        effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over
        time.
        Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
        Officer, does not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all
        errors.
 
 Notwithstanding
        the above, nothing has come to the attention of management which would cause
        management to believe that the material weaknesses noted above have resulted
        in
