May marked the 30th anniversary of the AFL-CIO Investment Program. That same month, the Trust's assets topped the historic $1 billion mark. The year saw the Trust's performance reach record levels, both in terms of returns to investors and lending activity. More than $400 million of union pension funds were placed in projects nationwide, creating more than 7,200 housing units. As a board member for 15 years, I have seen firsthand the Trust's growth as its investment programs brought solid returns to investors, promoted union jobs, created housing and improved communities throughout the nation. I witnessed the Trust establish itself as one of the best managed investment programs in the United States. Now, as the AFL-CIO president and a member of the Trust's Executive Committee, I'll work to advance HIT's mission of combining union pension funds with prudent and rewarding investments in America. The labor movement has always been interested in building bridges to give each union member the chance to reach new opportunities, wherever they might be. Building bridges to prosperity is what the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust is all about. Through working in partnership with developers, community groups, non-profits and labor organizations, the Trust creates a nationwide network which links union pension funds with solid investments. I am confident that together, the AFL-CIO and its Housing Investment Trust will continue to meet their shared goal of building bridges to prosperity for union members everywhere. /s/ John J. Sweeney John J. Sweeney AFL-CIO HOUSING INVESTMENT TRUST 1995 ANNUAL REPORT Report to Participants With thirty years of investing experience behind it, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust has proved itself to be one of the strongest long-term performers available to pension investors today. We take pride in the record accomplishments of the past year, when the Trust showed its ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions and achieve unprecedented returns for participants. But of even greater importance to our participants is the Trust's impressive long-term record. The Housing Investment Trust's performance over the long run has consistently been highly competitive with leading fixed-income indices typically used by the industry as performance benchmarks. As a case in point, the Trust's three, five and ten year annualized rates of return exceed both the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. What this demonstrates is that the Trust is an excellent vehicle for investors concerned about growth and performance over time. In its thirty years, the AFL-CIO Investment Program has witnessed many market cycles. It has been through economic upturns and downturns and has seen interest rates rise and fall. Through these cycles, the Trust has maintained its steady growth. It has assumed an active investment management strategy which enables it to take effective advantage of changing market conditions. It has developed a national network of investment partners, which assures the Trust's ready access to competitive investment partners, which assures the Trust's ready access to competitive investment opportunities for its growing assets, while its stringent underwriting criteria provide for the security of these investments. We are pleased to present the 1995 Annual Report. As a result of last year's success, the Trust is in the best position ever to meet the expectations of America's working men and women who look to it for a secure investment future. To our participants, we pledge our continued best efforts to provide you the highest level of professional investment management services you rightfully expect and deserve. /s/ Richard Ravitch Richard Ravitch Chairman, Board of Trustees Setting New Performance Records ------------------------------- The year ended December 31, 1995 proved truly noteworthy for the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust. The Trust's active management approach took full advantage of the year's favorable economic climate -- and declining long-term interest rates -- to bring investors impressive returns that not only surpassed HIT's previous single-year record, but exceeded the leading fixed-income indices. The Trust's gross return on investment of 20.11 percent for the year ended December 31, 1995, put its performance above the 16.80 percent reported by the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index, as well as the 18.50 percent for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Trust's gross rate of return does not reflect the deduction of administrative expenses for the year which were 0.51 percent of average net assets. While such single-year gains are notable, earning competitive long-term returns for participating pension fund investors remained the principal focus of the Trust. For the three, five and ten year periods ended December 31, 1995, the Trust achieved total annualized rates of return of 8.99 percent, 9.59 percent and 10.10 percent, respectively. The Trust's long-term rates of return also compared favorably to leading fixed-income indices. CELEBRATING A LANDMARK YEAR In May 1995, the Trust celebrated the 30th anniversary of the AFL-CIO Investment Program. One of the first vehicles for the joint investment of labor-management pension funds in real estate projects, the Trust was founded on the idea that the secure investment of union capital could be a catalyst for increased housing, job generation and economic development nationwide. From its first mortgage, issued in 1965 for an urban rehabilitation project in Washington, D.C., to the financing of its 40,000th housing unit in May 1995, the Trust has grown to surpass its founders' vision. Today, the Trust is an industry leader in providing prudent investment opportunities for union pension funds -- and in building and bettering America's communities. Report to Participants -------------------------------------- REACHING NEW HEIGHTS IN ASSETS The Trust's total net assets climbed to historic levels in 1995, exceeding $1 billion for the first time by mid-year and eventually reaching $1.17 billion by the year's end. The rise represented a 25 percent increase in net assets since the end of 1994. In a strong show of continuing confidence in the Trust's programs, a total of $128 million was generated from new investments and the reinvestment of income. Less than one percent of total net assets were redeemed, a further measure of participants' on-going approval of the Trust's philosophy and performance. By year's end, the total number of Trust participants stood at 387, including the addition of 17 new investors. GAINING PORTFOLIO STRENGTH THROUGH DIVERSITY Guiding the Trust's investments during 1995 was a portfolio management strategy well poised to maximize the advantages presented by the year's favorable interest rates. The short term holdings of the Trust stood at 4.4 percent of the portfolio as of December 31, 1995, with mortgage-backed securities accounting for 41.5 percent of the holdings. The portion of the portfolio devoted to FHA mortgages was 35.1 percent and FHA construction loans, 17.9 percent. The remaining 1.1 percent of the Trust's portfolio were local initiatives, investments consisting of conventional mortgages with a loan-to-value ratio of under 50 percent that receive partial financing from local or state governments or housing finance agencies. For participants, each of the Trust's investments offered a high assurance of security. At year's end, 98.8 percent of the Trust's long-term portfolio was either insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government or government-sponsored enterprises.

Report to Participants -------------------------------------- BREAKING NEW GROUND IN INVESTMENTS Surpassing projected goals by 46 percent, the Trust issued more than $328 million in new investment commitments in 1995, encompassing over 7,200 housing units in a diverse mix of single and multi-family developments. Those new commitments formed the financial foundation for 27 multi-family projects nationwide. Altogether in 1995, the Trust funded more than $407 million. The projects spanned the production spectrum, including: The Imperial Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, converting a historic property near the central business district into 120 single room occupancy and one-bedroom residences, with the Trust's $1.7 million permanent mortgage leveraging nearly $7.5 million in additional development financing; Lowell Square in Boston, Massachusetts, a $30 million mixed-income cooperative to be constructed in the city's historic West End enabled by a $12.1 million construction loan and permanent financing from the Trust; and Market Heights Apartments in San Francisco, California, a high quality, affordable housing development and the first project completed under the Trust-HUD Section 8 initiative. Building upon the considerable expertise and continuing efficiency of its professional staff, the Trust was able to target and close such complex financing arrangements while maintaining an exceptionally low expenses to net assets ratio of only half of one percent. At the same time, the total cost-per-unit for expenses dropped from $5.47 a year ago to $5.38.

Report to Participants -------------------------------------- FORGING NEW PARTNERSHIPS Over the past three decades, the Trust has added to the strength of its own management staff by forging key alliances with leading organizations throughout the housing industry. The success of the Trust's investment strategies during 1995 was due in part to the impact of its innovative National Partnership for Community Investment (National Partnership). Begun in 1993 with the endorsement of the AFL-CIO Executive Council and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Partnership has played an influential role in coordinating public and private investments in housing and community development efforts in cities across the country. During 1995, the Trust invested over $225 million through the National Partnership initiative, creating over 5,500 housing units. These units accounted for almost 76 percent of the Trust's total investment activity for the year. As a result of almost three years of activity, the National Partnership has generated over 3,500 construction jobs and more than 9,200 dwelling units in 44 housing developments. The alliances forged in 1995 strengthened the Trust's ability to make sound, secure investments on behalf of its investors -- and enhanced its reputation for innovation in housing development and finance.

Report to Participants -------------------------------------- BUILDING BRIDGES TO THE FUTURE For the Trust and its investors, the view ahead looks promising. Building on past successes, the Board of Trustees recently adopted an ambitious blueprint for sustaining the Trust's steady performance in the years ahead. As the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust enters its fourth decade of service, its new initiatives and working partnerships promise to build bridges of prosperity that will ensure that the Trust meets its obligation to its participants -- to provide secure, competitive investment opportunities as well as jobs and affordable housing.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR AND CONGRESS OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS HOUSING INVESTMENT TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) Housing Investment Trust (the Trust) is a common law trust created under the laws of the District of Columbia and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a no-load, open-end investment company. The Trust has obtained certain exemptions from the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which are described in the Trust's prospectus. Participation in the Trust is limited to labor organizations and eligible pension, welfare, and retirement plans which have beneficiaries who are represented by labor organizations. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. INVESTMENT VALUATION Investments are presented at value. Value determinations are summarized by specific category of investment as follows: Long-term investments consisting of permanent mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, construction loans and participation certificates are valued using published prices or dealer bids, supported by the present value of the projected cash flows discounted using market based discount and prepayment rates, developed individually for each security. The market-based discount rate is composed of the sum of a risk-free yield (i.e., a U.S. Treasury Note with a weighted average life comparable to the security being valued) and adjusted for an appropriate risk premium. The risk premium reflects actual premiums in the marketplace over the yield on U.S. Treasury securities of a comparable risk and maturity to the security being valued. On loans for which the Trust finances the construction and permanent mortgage, value is determined based upon the total amount of the commitment for the term of the construction loan plus the permanent mortgage loan. For construction only loans, the outstanding principal balance of the loan is used to approximate value, assuming no decline in credit quality. Short-term investments consisting of repurchase agreements, commercial paper and money market accounts which mature less than 60 days from the balance sheet date are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Short-term investments which mature more than 60 days from the balance sheet date are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the month or the mean between the reported bid and ask price if there was no sale. Short-term investments maturing more than 60 days from the balance sheet date for which there are no quoted market prices are valued to reflect current market yields for securities with comparable terms and interest rates. Additional information relative to investment terms and credit risk are described more fully in the Trust's prospectus. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The total cost of the portfolio of investments for federal income tax purposes, approximates the cost of all investments for financial statement purposes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS At the end of each calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31), net investment income earned in the preceding three months is distributed to existing participants based on a pro rata basis. Net realized gains are distributed to existing participants at year end on a pro rata basis. Amounts distributable, but not disbursed, as of the balance sheet date are classified as income distribution payable. Participants redeeming their certificates are paid their pro rata share of undistributed net income accrued to the month-end of redemption. The Trust offers an income reinvestment plan which allows current participants to automatically reinvest their income distribution into the Trust's units of participation. Total reinvestment of distributable income quarterly approximated 85 percent for the year ended December 31, 1995. INVESTMENT INCOME Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Commitment fees, points and other discounts or premiums resulting from the funding or acquisition of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities are accounted for as an adjustment to the cost of the investment and amortized over the estimated life of the mortgage loan or mortgage-backed security, using an amortization method which approximates the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on the trade date using an identified cost basis. (2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ During the year ended December 31, 1995, certain members of the Trust's management provided services to the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, a Maryland Group Trust managed by a Maryland state bank insured by the federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The AFL-CIO has granted permission to use its name. The total cost of these services to the Trust and related expenses, during fiscal year 1995, amounted to $937,365. The Trust was reimbursed for $606,068 of these costs with the remaining amount of $331,297 included in the accompanying financial statements as accounts receivable. (3) COMMITMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The assets of the Trust are invested in short-term investments until they are required to fund commitments for construction loans, mortgage-backed securities, participation certificates or permanent mortgages. At December 31, 1995, the Trust had remaining unfunded commitments of approximately $283,166,000 to fund construction and permanent mortgages and other investments. The Trust is required to maintain a segregated account of securities in an amount no less than the total unfunded commitments less short-term investments.
