ORGANIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS AMRESCO Capital Trust (the "Company"), a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), was organized under the laws of the State of Texas. The Company was formed to take advantage of certain mid- to high-yield lending and investment opportunities in real estate related assets, including various types of commercial mortgage loans (including, among others, participating loans, mezzanine loans, acquisition loans, construction loans, rehabilitation loans and bridge loans), commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate, equity investments in joint ventures and/or partnerships, and certain other real estate related assets. The Company was initially capitalized on February 2, 1998 and commenced operations on May 12, 1998, concurrent with the completion of its initial public offering ("IPO") of 9,000,000 common shares and private placement of 1,000,011 common shares. On September 26, 2000, shareholders approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Company under the terms and conditions of a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution which was approved by the Company's Board of Trust Managers on March 29, 2000. Pursuant to the terms of a Management Agreement dated as of May 12, 1998, as amended, and subject to the direction and oversight of the Board of Trust Managers, the Company's day-to-day operations are managed by AMREIT Managers, L.P. (the "Manager"), an affiliate of AMRESCO, INC. ("AMRESCO") (together with its affiliated entities, the "AMRESCO Group"). For its services, the Manager is entitled to receive a base management fee equal to 1% per annum of the Company's Average Invested Non-Investment Grade Assets, as defined, and 0.5% per annum of the Company's Average Invested Investment Grade Assets, as defined. In addition to the base management fee, the Manager is entitled to receive reimbursements for its quarterly operating deficits, if any. These reimbursements are equal to the excess, if any, of the Manager's operating costs (including principally personnel and general and administrative expenses) over the sum of its base management fees and any other fees earned by the Manager from sources other than the Company. The base management fee and operating deficit reimbursements, if any, are payable quarterly in arrears. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, base management fees charged to the Company totaled $257,000. During this same period, operating deficit reimbursements totaled $211,000, of which $124,000 was attributable to termination benefits which were paid to departing employees of the Manager on March 31, 2001. An amount equal to these termination benefits, and those expected to be payable to the remaining employees of the Manager, was included in amounts due to manager at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, base management fees and operating deficit reimbursements due to the Manager totaled $468,000. Termination benefits expected to be borne by the Company through future operating deficit reimbursements totaled $1,366,000 at March 31, 2001. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. As described in Note 1, shareholders approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Company on September 26, 2000. As a result, the Company adopted liquidation basis accounting on that date. Under liquidation basis accounting, the Company's revenues and expenses are reported as changes in net assets in liquidation. Additionally, under liquidation basis accounting, the Company's assets are carried at their estimated net realizable values and the Company's liabilities are reported at their expected settlement amounts in a consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, statements of income, earnings per share data and an amount representing total comprehensive income are not presented. 8 9 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under liquidation basis accounting, the Company's investment in AMREIT II, Inc., a taxable subsidiary, is carried at its estimated net realizable value. The Company accounts for its investment in AMREIT II, Inc. using the cost method of accounting and thus reports income only when cash is received. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (the "10-K"). The notes to the financial statements included herein highlight significant changes to the notes included in the 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. Operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuations of the Company's mortgage loan investments. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 3. MORTGAGE LOANS As of March 31, 2001, the Company's mortgage loan investments are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund approximately $3,032,000 under four loans. The Company is obligated to fund these commitments to the extent that the borrowers are not in violation of any of the conditions established in the loan agreements. Conversely, a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon and therefore the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A summary of mortgage loan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is as follows (in thousands): Balance, beginning of period............... $ 88,401 Investments in loans....................... 67 Collections of principal................... (4,443) -------- Balance, end of period..................... $ 84,025 ========

9 10 4. ASSET DISPOSITIONS On January 18, 2001, the Company sold its remaining CMBS holdings to an unaffiliated third party (the "Buyer"). At the time of the sale, the Company received net cash proceeds totaling $16,555,000. Concurrently, AMRESCO Investments, Inc. ("AMRESCO Investments"), a member of the AMRESCO Group, sold (to the Buyer) its unrated bonds which had been issued from the same securitization. As the former owner of the unrated class, AMRESCO Investments had had the right to grant special servicing rights with respect to all of the subject securities. Under the terms of an earlier agreement, AMRESCO Investments is obligated to pay the designated special servicer a termination fee in the event that such servicer's rights are terminated on or before March 17, 2003. The simultaneous sale of the Company's securities and AMRESCO Investments' securities was a condition precedent to the Buyer's acquisition of either party's securities. In order to induce AMRESCO Investments to sell its unrated securities, the Company agreed to reimburse the affiliate in an amount equal to the termination fee if the Buyer elects to terminate AMRESCO Investments' appointee on or before March 17, 2003. Alternatively, if a termination has not occurred prior to the time that the Company intends to declare its final liquidating distribution, then the Company can satisfy this obligation by paying to AMRESCO Investments an amount equal to one-half of the termination fee that would have been payable had an actual termination occurred at that time. Under the terms of the agreement between AMRESCO Investments and the special servicer, the termination fee is based, in part, on the number of months remaining until March 17, 2003 and therefore the amount of such fee declines each month. If a termination had occurred at the time the bonds were sold, the Company would have been obligated to reimburse AMRESCO Investments approximately $300,000 (the estimated maximum reimbursement obligation). When recording the sale, the Company accrued the amount at which it expects to settle this obligation. These additional selling expenses, totaling $114,000, are included in accounts payable and other liabilities at March 31, 2001. On February 1, 2001, one of the Company's loan investments was fully repaid. At the date of repayment, the amount outstanding under this loan totaled $4,443,000. On March 5, 2001, a partnership controlled by the Company's unconsolidated taxable subsidiary sold a mixed-use property at a gross sales price of $18,250,000. Prior to its sale, the property was encumbered by a $17,000,000 first lien mortgage which had been provided by an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the sale, the non-recourse mortgage was fully extinguished. On March 6, 2001, the Company received $1,800,000 from the partnership. At March 31, 2001, the estimated net realizable value of the Company's remaining investment in its taxable subsidiary totaled $200,000. 5. LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company made two liquidating distributions totaling $29,618,000 (or $2.95 per share). On January 17, 2001, the Company made its third liquidating distribution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. The distribution, totaling $3,514,000 (or $0.35 per share), was declared on December 21, 2000 and was payable to shareholders of record on December 31, 2000. For tax purposes, this distribution was deemed to have been paid by the Company on December 31, 2000. Similarly, this distribution was deemed (for tax purposes) to have been received by the Company's shareholders on December 31, 2000. On March 30, 2001, the Company made its fourth liquidating distribution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. This distribution, totaling $26,104,000 (or $2.60 per share), was declared on March 8, 2001 and was payable to shareholders of record on March 19, 2001. 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company, as an investor in real estate related assets, operates in only one reportable segment. Historically, the Company made asset allocation decisions within this segment based upon its diversification strategies and changes in market conditions. The Company does not have, nor does it rely upon, any major customers. All of the Company's investments are secured directly or indirectly by real estate properties located in the United States; accordingly, all of its revenues were derived from U.S. operations. 10 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW AMRESCO Capital Trust (the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which was formed in early 1998 to take advantage of certain mid- to high-yield lending and investment opportunities in real estate related assets, including various types of commercial mortgage loans (including, among others, participating loans, mezzanine loans, acquisition loans, construction loans, rehabilitation loans and bridge loans), commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), commercial real estate, equity investments in joint ventures and/or partnerships, and certain other real estate related assets. Subject to the direction and oversight of the Board of Trust Managers, the Company's day-to-day operations are managed by AMREIT Managers, L.P. (the "Manager"), an affiliate of AMRESCO, INC. The Company commenced operations on May 12, 1998 concurrent with the completion of its initial public offering of 9,000,000 common shares and private placement of 1,000,011 common shares with AMREIT Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMRESCO, INC. From the Company's inception of operations through July 5, 2000, AMRESCO, INC. and AMREIT Holdings, Inc. collectively owned 1,500,111 shares, or approximately 15%, of its outstanding common stock. On July 5, 2000, all of these common shares were sold to affiliates of Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. Historically, the Company's investment activities were focused in three primary areas: loan investments, CMBS and equity investments in real estate. In early 2000, the Board of Trust Managers approved a course of action to market and sell the Company's non-core assets, including its CMBS holdings and its equity investments in real estate. As of March 31, 2001, all of the Company's non-core assets had been sold. On September 26, 2000, shareholders approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Company under the terms and conditions of a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution which was approved by the Company's Board of Trust Managers on March 29, 2000. As a result, the Company adopted liquidation basis accounting on September 26, 2000. Under liquidation basis accounting, the Company's assets are carried at their estimated net realizable values and the Company's liabilities are reported at their expected settlement amounts in a consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation. Additionally, under liquidation basis accounting, the Company's revenues and expenses are reported as changes in net assets in liquidation. Statements of income, earnings per share data and an amount representing total comprehensive income are not presented. Furthermore, no discussion of the changes in operating results between the current fiscal quarter and the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year is provided in this Form 10-Q. As noted above, the Company's operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's operating results were presented in accordance with the historical cost (or going concern) basis of accounting. At the date of this report, the Company's investment portfolio is comprised of four mortgage loans and a residual interest in its unconsolidated taxable subsidiary. A majority of the loans are expected to be fully repaid at or near their scheduled maturities (including extension options) in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. The residual interest in the subsidiary is expected to be fully realized on or about July 31, 2001. The Board of Trust Managers intends to distribute the Company's remaining assets to its shareholders as, and when, additional loans are repaid and/or sold, provided that the Trust Managers believe that adequate reserves are available for the payment of the Company's liabilities, expenses and unfunded loan commitments. Given the short duration and quality of the Company's remaining loans, the Company believes that the liquidation process will be completed within 18 to 24 months from the date that shareholders approved the liquidation, although there can be no assurances that this timetable will be met or that the anticipated proceeds from the liquidation will be achieved. CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IN LIQUIDATION The following discussion of changes in net assets in liquidation should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in "Item 1. Financial Statements". Under the liquidation basis of accounting, net assets in liquidation decreased by $27,235,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2001. During this period, revenues, expenses and liquidating distributions paid to common shareholders totaled $2,877,000, $494,000 and $29,618,000, respectively. 11 12 The Company's sources of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were as follows: o $2,432,000 from five mortgage loan investments, one of which was fully repaid on February 1, 2001. o $96,000 from investments in CMBS (the Company's remaining CMBS holdings were sold on January 18, 2001 at their then current carrying value). o $349,000 of interest income from short-term investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's expenses were comprised of the following: o $344,000 of management fees incurred pursuant to the terms of the amended Management Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, base management fees charged to the Company totaled $257,000. During this same period, operating deficit reimbursements totaled $211,000, of which $124,000 was attributable to termination benefits which were paid to departing employees of the Manager on March 31, 2001. An amount equal to these termination benefits, and those expected to be payable to the remaining employees of the Manager, was included in amounts due to manager at December 31, 2000. o $150,000 of general and administrative costs, including $13,000 for professional services, $59,000 for directors and officers' insurance, $15,000 of fees paid to the Company's Chairman of the Board of Trust Managers and Chief Executive Officer for his services to the Company, $40,000 of fees paid to the Company's other trust managers for their services to the Company, and $23,000 of other miscellaneous expenses. As described above, shareholders approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Company on September 26, 2000. As a result, the Company's dividend policy was modified to provide for the distribution of the Company's assets to its shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company made two liquidating distributions totaling $29,618,000 (or $2.95 per share). Liquidating distributions of $3,514,000 (or $0.35 per share) and $26,104,000 (or $2.60 per share) were paid to the Company's shareholders on January 17, 2001 and March 30, 2001, respectively. The timing and amount of future liquidating distributions will be at the discretion of the Board of Trust Managers and will be dependent upon the Company's financial condition, tax basis income, capital requirements, the timing of asset dispositions, reserve requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and such other factors as the Board of Trust Managers deems relevant. At a minimum, the Company intends to make distributions in a manner which will allow it to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code throughout the liquidation period. Tax basis income differs from the operating results reported for financial reporting purposes under the liquidation basis of accounting due to differences in methods of accounting for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. As a result of these accounting differences, the increase/decrease in net assets in liquidation from operating activities is not necessarily indicative of the distributions which must be made by the Company in order for it to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. REMAINING ASSETS As of March 31, 2001, the Company's mortgage loan investments are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

12 13 As set forth above, the Company has commitments to fund $87.057 million (under four loans), of which $84.025 million was outstanding at March 31, 2001. The Company is obligated to fund the outstanding commitments of $3.032 million to the extent the borrowers are not in violation of any of the conditions established in the loan agreements. Conversely, a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon and therefore the unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Based upon the amounts outstanding under these facilities, the Company's portfolio of commercial mortgage loans had a weighted average interest pay rate of 10.5% and a weighted average interest accrual rate of 11.2% as of March 31, 2001. One investment, the Company's $14.7 million Richardson office loan, provides the Company with the opportunity for profit participation above the contractual accrual rate. Pursuant to the terms of the underlying loan agreements, extension options are available to two of the Company's remaining borrowers provided that such borrowers are not in violation of any of the conditions established in the loan agreements. The loans provide for an extension fee to be paid to the Company at the time the extension option is exercised by the borrower. The extension fees range from 0.5% to 1% of the loan commitment amount, depending upon the length of the extension option. The following table summarizes the extension options currently available to the Company's borrowers under the terms of their respective loan agreements (dollars in thousands):

At March 31, 2001, the Company's commercial mortgage loan commitments (all of which are secured by office properties) were geographically dispersed as follows (dollars in thousands):

As the loan investment portfolio is expected to contract as a result of repayments and/or sales, geographic and product type concentrations will persist. The Company believes that geographic and product type concentrations present additional risks, particularly if there is a deterioration in the general condition of the real estate market or in the sub-market in which the loan collateral is located, or if demand for a particular product type does not meet expectations due to adverse market conditions that are different from those projected by the Company. At March 31, 2001, the estimated net realizable value of the Company's remaining investment in its unconsolidated taxable subsidiary totaled $200,000. In March 2001, a partnership controlled by the subsidiary sold a mixed-use property to an unaffiliated buyer; in connection with this sale, the partnership received a $100,000 promissory note. The amount of the note, which is due on July 31, 2001, is included in management's estimate of the value that is expected to be derived from the subsidiary in connection with the wrap-up of its activities (including the wind-up of the partnership's affairs). 13 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in "Item 1. Financial Statements." The Company's principal demands for liquidity are cash for operations, including funds which are required to satisfy its obligations under existing loan commitments, management fees, general and administrative expenses and distributions to its shareholders (in amounts that are sufficient to allow it to continue to qualify as a REIT). Distributions in excess of the amounts required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification will be funded with the proceeds from loan repayments and/or sales. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash reserves, pay rate interest income from its mortgage loans and proceeds from loan repayments and/or sales. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and the proceeds from loan repayments and/or sales will be sufficient to meet the Company's currently expected liquidity and capital requirements. The Company's $35 million line of credit matured on April 30, 2001. No amounts were borrowed under the credit facility during the four months ended April 30, 2001. REIT STATUS Management expects the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes throughout the period during which the Company's assets are being liquidated. As a REIT, the Company will not pay income taxes at the trust level on any taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, although AMREIT II, Inc., its "taxable REIT subsidiary", may be subject to tax at the corporate level. Qualification for treatment as a REIT requires the Company to meet specified criteria, including certain requirements regarding the nature of its ownership, assets, income and distributions of taxable income. The Company may, however, be subject to tax at normal corporate rates on any ordinary income or capital gains not distributed. Given the changes in the nature of the Company's assets and in the Company's sources of income that could result from dispositions of assets in the liquidation process and the need to retain assets to meet liabilities, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet the REIT qualification tests. If the Company ceases to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, it would not be entitled to deduct distributions paid to shareholders from its taxable income. In this case, the Company would be liable for federal income taxes with respect to its gains from sales of assets and the Company's income from operations for that year and for subsequent taxable years. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not based on historical facts and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that forward-looking statements be subject to such Act and any similar state or federal laws. Forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions, include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its Manager, and their respective Trustees or directors and officers, and may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by use of forward-looking terminology such as "intends," "may," "could," "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," or similar terms or variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties and changes with respect to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in international, national, regional or local economic environments, changes in prevailing interest rates, credit risks, basis and asset/liability risks, event risk, conditions which may affect public securities and debt markets generally or the markets in which the Company operates, geographic or product type concentrations of assets, other factors generally understood to affect the real estate acquisition, mortgage and leasing markets, changes in federal income tax laws and regulations, and other risks described from time to time in the Company's SEC reports and filings, including its registration statement on Form S-11 and periodic reports on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K and Form 10-K. 14 15 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is a party to four financial instruments which are subject to market risk. These instruments include three senior loans and one mezzanine investment. The Company's four mortgage loans involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate risk. Additionally, these financial instruments are subject to real estate market risk. The Company is a party to certain other financial instruments, including trade receivables and payables and amounts due to its manager which, due to their short-term nature, are not subject to market risk. For a discussion of market risk exposures, reference is made to Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The market risk exposures described therein have not materially changed since December 31, 2000; accordingly, no additional discussion or analysis is provided in this Form 10-Q. PART II.
