Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  In the opinion of the management of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership, (the “Partnership”) the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

  Basis of Presentation

      $ 261,603,994     100.00%  $ 258,431,902   100.00%





  Variable rate loans use as indices the one-year, five-year and 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index (3.40%, 3.77% and 4.00%, respectively, as of June 30, 2005), the prime rate (6.00% as of June 30, 2005) or the weighted average cost of funds index for Eleventh or Twelfth District savings institutions (2.62% and 2.35%, respectively, as of June 30, 2005) or include terms whereby the interest rate is adjusted at a specific later date. Premiums over these indices have varied from 250–650 basis points depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made.

  A majority of the loans made or invested in by the Partnership require the borrower to make a “balloon payment” on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans.

  As of June 30, 2005, the Partnership has commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction and other loans in the total amount of approximately $54,656,000.

  As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership held a participation interest in five and three loans, respectively, with a total principal balance of $31,434,000 and $24,237,000, respectively, with an unrelated mortgage investment group (the “Lead Lender”) that originated the loans with the borrowers. The General Partner receives the payments on these participated loans from the Lead Lender. Pursuant to Intercreditor Agreements between the Partnership and the Lead Lender on all of the participated loans as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership is guaranteed its share of interest and principal prior to any other investors participating in such loans. The Partnership received full repayment from the Lead Lender on one of these loans with a principal balance of $14,000,000 in July 2005 (subsequent to quarter end).

  During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership refinanced loans totaling $0 and $23,465,000, respectively.

  The scheduled maturities for 2005 include approximately $59,058,000 of loans that are past maturity as of June 30, 2005, of which $7,702,000 represents loans for which interest payments are delinquent over 90 days.

  The Partnership’s investment in impaired loans that were delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days was approximately $17,329,000 and $37,319,000 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Partnership’s investment in impaired loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $51,356,000 and $23,583,000 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Of these impaired loans, approximately $1,100,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $5,182,000 involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Of the total past maturity loans, four loans with a total principal balance of approximately $27,923,000 were paid off in full in July 2005.

  The Partnership’s investment in loans delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days consisted of six and seven loans as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, $10,727,000 of the delinquent loans has a specific related allowance for credit losses totaling $1,800,000. There is a non-specific allowance for credit losses of $2,650,000 for the remaining delinquent balance and for other loans. The Partnership has discontinued the accrual of interest on all loans that are delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days.

  Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2005 2004 2005 2004
Balance, beginning of period     $ 4,450,000   $ 4,100,000   $ 4,100,000   $ 4,100,000  
    Provision       --     --     350,000     (100,000 )
    Recovery of bad debts       --     --     --     100,000  
    Charge-off       --     --     --     --  




Balance, end of period     $ 4,450,000   $ 4,100,000   $ 4,450,000   $ 4,100,000  





  The General Partner believes that the allowance for estimated loan losses is appropriate as of June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

  As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership’s loans secured by deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 44% ($114,205,000) and 53% ($135,867,000), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern California region (which includes the following counties and all counties north: Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo) is a large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate.

  Investment in Limited Liability Companies

  Oregon Leisure Homes, LLC

  Oregon Leisure Homes, LLC (OLH) was formed in 2001 between the Partnership and an unrelated developer for the purpose of improving, marketing and selling eight condominium units located in Lincoln City, Oregon, which were acquired by the Partnership via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. OLH also purchased two houses located by the ocean in Lincoln City for renovation and ultimate sale.

  During the six months ended June 30, 2005, a Membership Interest Redemption Agreement was executed by the members of OLH whereby the Partnership’s joint venture partner was removed as a member of OLH for no consideration. There was no financial impact from the joint venture partner’s removal, as the joint venture partner did not have an equity balance in OLH. OLH will continue as a single member LLC and will continue to be consolidated into the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income.

  During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Partnership advanced an additional $21,000 to OLH for continued operation and marketing of the condominium units that are for sale and received repayment of advances of $5,000 from collections on notes receivable. The net loss to the Partnership was approximately $10,000 and $8,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(5) Transactions with Affiliates

  In consideration of the management services rendered to the Partnership, Owens Financial Group, Inc. (“OFG”), the General Partner, is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans.

  All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration for which OFG receives up to .25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans.

  OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the management and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the allowable limits calculated on an annual calendar year basis. Even though the fees for a particular month may exceed one-twelfth of the maximum limits, at the end of the calendar year the sum of the fees collected for each of the twelve months may not exceed the stated limits. Management fees amounted to approximately $3,156,000 and $1,496,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $4,295,000 and $2,332,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Service fees amounted to approximately $160,000 and $166,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $316,000 and $340,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

  The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2 ¾% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 (annualized), the management fees were 1.46%, 2.01%, 2.00% and 3.35% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, the management fees to the general partner on an annualized basis exceed the 2 ¾% maximum pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. However, these fees will be adjusted during the succeeding six months so that they will not exceed 2 ¾% for 2005.

  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, OFG receives all late payment charges from borrowers on loans owned by the Partnership, with the exception of loans participated with outside entities. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $215,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to OFG, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $5,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives loan origination fees from borrowers. Such fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $1,063,000 and $1,488,000 on loans originated of approximately $53,163,000 and $46,586,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  OFG is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to OFG by the Partnership during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $12,000 and $11,000, respectively.

(6) Note Payable

  During the six months ended June 30, 2005, 720 University obtained a new note with a financial institution in the amount of $10,500,000, which fully repaid its existing note payable with a balance of $9,729,000 as of December 31, 2004 and provided additional funds for property improvements. The note payable is secured by 720 University’s retail development in Greeley, Colorado. The note requires monthly interest payments until March 1, 2010 at a fixed rate of 5.07% per annum. Commencing April 1, 2010, monthly payments of $56,816 will be required, with the balance of unpaid principal due on March 1, 2015. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $135,000 and $96,000, respectively. The note contains certain covenants, which the Company has complied with as of June 30, 2005.

(7) Note and Interest Payable to General Partner

  The Partnership has a note and interest payable to the General Partner in the total amount of approximately $1,218,000 as of June 30, 2005 as a result of the deed in lieu of foreclosure obtained on a Partnership loan in June 2004. The principal balance of the original note of $907,000 bears interest at the rate of 12.0% per annum, which is to be accrued and deferred until maturity. The Partnership recorded interest expense on this note of approximately $27,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The note was amended at the time of foreclosure in June 2004 to extend the maturity date to June 8, 2009 and specifies that upon the sale of the property the General Partner will only be paid the amounts due under the note after the Partnership recovers its basis in the property at the time of sale including any capital improvements made after foreclosure, but excluding the amounts capitalized pursuant to this note.

(8) Line of Credit Payable

  The Partnership has a line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which provides interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The amount of credit available under this line of credit is $40,000,000. There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Interest expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $0 and $174,000, respectively. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the bank’s prime rate, which was 6.0% as of June 30, 2005. The line of credit expired on July 31, 2005 but an extension was granted until September 30, 2005 while the line of credit agreement is being revised. The Partnership does not expect any significant changes to the terms of the existing agreement. The Partnership is required to maintain non-interest bearing accounts in the total amount of $500,000 with two of the banks. The agreement requires the Partnership to meet certain financial covenants including profitability, minimum tangible net worth and total liabilities to tangible net worth. The Partnership has complied with these covenants as of June 30, 2005.

  Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

  Forward Looking Statements

                           Some of the information in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”“continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial conditions or state other forward-looking information. When considering such forward-looking statements you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Partnership’s Form 10-Q. Although management of the Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are certain factors, in addition to these risk factors and cautioning statements, such as general economic conditions, local real estate conditions, adequacy of reserves, or weather and other natural occurrences that might cause a difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements.

  Results of Operations

  Overview

                           Owens Mortgage Investment Fund (the “Partnership”) is a California Limited Partnership that invests in mortgage loans on real property located in the United States that are primarily originated by the Partnership’s general partner, Owens Financial Group, Inc. (the “General Partner”).

                           The Partnership’s primary objective is to generate monthly income from its investment in mortgage loans. The Partnership’s focus is on making mortgage loans to owners and developers of real property whose financing needs are often not met by traditional mortgage lenders. These include borrowers that traditional lenders may not normally consider because of perceived credit risks based on ratings or experience levels, and borrowers who require faster loan decisions. One of the Partnership’s competitive advantages is the ability to approve loan applications more quickly than traditional lenders.

                           The Partnership will originate loans secured by very diverse property types. In addition, the Partnership will occasionally lend to borrowers whom traditional lenders will not normally lend to because of a variety of factors including their credit ratings and/or experience. Due to these factors, the Partnership may make mortgage loans that are riskier than mortgage loans made by commercial banks and other institutional lenders. To compensate for those potential risks, the Partnership seeks to make loans at higher interest rates and with more protection from the underlying real property, such as with lower loan to value ratios.

                           The Partnership’s operating results are affected primarily by:

o the amount of cash available to invest in mortgage loans;

o the level of real estate lending activity in the markets serviced;

o the ability to identify and lend to suitable borrowers;

o the interest rates the Partnership is able to charge on loans;

o the level of delinquencies on mortgage loans;

o the level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced; and

o the income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal.

                           Economic developments in the United States have generally been favorable in 2005 and this has led to expansion and gains in employment. The strengthening demand has been a factor contributing to the rise in inflation. These and other factors led the Federal Reserve Board to increase the discount rate by a total of 2.00% between June 2004 and June 2005. The rates that the Partnership charges on its loans have not been significantly impacted by these actions. The weighted average interest rate on Partnership loans increased only slightly from 11.10% as of June 30, 2004 to 11.15% as of June 30, 2005. Presently, the General Partner does not expect a noticeable increase in the rates charged on Partnership loans, primarily because there continues to be a shortage of suitable loans for the Partnership to invest in.

                           This shortage is primarily due to there being fewer commercial real estate transactions suitable for Partnership lending and increased competition from other lenders. In general, the decrease in real estate transactions is partially due to real estate values having increased in relation to other investments. During the late 1990’s, investors had diverse investment opportunities, such as the stock market and fixed income investments. However, the stock market has become very volatile in the last few years, and yields on fixed income investments have dropped significantly. Owners of commercial real estate are therefore less willing to dispose of their properties, since alternative investments are not currently as attractive.

                           Increased competition has come both from existing lenders whose lending previously was not in competition with the Partnership, and from newly organized lenders seeking greater returns. Due to their unusually large supplies of cash available for lending, banks and other institutional lenders have become more aggressive in placing loans. Additionally, those investors seeking to maximize returns in a market with fewer acceptable investment opportunities have been willing to take increased risk to obtain ostensibly higher yields. These factors have resulted in decreased lending opportunities for the Partnership.

                           The Partnership has been closed to most new limited partner investments since September 2001, because there have not been enough suitable mortgage loans for the Partnership to invest in to remain fully invested for a sustained period of time. Remaining closed to new investments reduces the Partnership’s excess cash that would be invested in lower yielding investments, which could have the effect of decreasing the yield paid to existing limited partners.

                           If economic conditions worsen in 2005, the Partnership could experience an increase in loan defaults. This would reduce the amount of income available for distribution to partners. Recognizing this risk, the General Partner seeks to maintain a low loan-to-value ratio on its loans, which as of June 30, 2005 was 56.1% on a weighted average basis. By this means, the Partnership hopes to protect the value of loans in the event of default by providing an increased equity position in underlying real property in the event of foreclosure. 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 on the Partnership’s financial condition and operating results.

                           Historically, the General Partner has focused its operations on California and certain Western states. Because the General Partner has a significant degree of knowledge with respect to the real estate markets in such states, it is likely most of the Partnership’s loans will be concentrated in such states. As of June 30, 2005, 43.7% of loans were secured by real estate in Northern California, while 10.6% and 10.2% were secured by real estate in Arizona and Southern California, respectively. Such geographical concentration creates greater risk that any downturn in such local real estate markets could have a significant adverse effect upon results of operations.

                           Commercial real estate markets in segmented areas of California have continued to prosper. However, there can be no assurance that the rate of growth will continue to increase in the future. A worsening economy, particularly in California and Arizona, could adversely affect the Partnership’s operating results.

(2) Distribution per partnership unit (yield) is the annualized average of the monthly yield paid to the partners for the periods indicated. The monthly yield is calculated by dividing the total monthly cash distribution to partners by the prior month’s ending partners’ capital balance.

  Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

  Total Revenues

                           Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds increased $1,186,000 (17.6%) and $775,000 (5.6%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, primarily due to the collection of approximately $1,399,000 in delinquent interest on one loan in July 2005, which was accrued as of June 30, 2005. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of 4.0% and 6.9% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 2004.

                           Gain on sales of real estate increased $223,000 (68.5%) and $211,000 (48.7%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004, due primarily to the sale of unimproved land located in Sacramento, California in June 2005, which resulted in a gain of approximately $449,000 to the Partnership. See further discussion under “Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment”below.

                           Rental and other income from real estate properties increased $440,000 (27.4%) during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily as a result of revenue earned from the assisted living facility located in Monterey, California that was obtained via foreclosure in June 2004.

                           Other income increased $97,000 (633.7%) and $142,000 (351.2%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004, due primarily to interest earned on money market investments. The Partnership has had an increased amount of cash and equivalents available during 2005 (as compared to 2004) as a result of loan payoffs in excess of loan originations. In addition, the yields on these investments have increased in 2005.

  Total Expenses

                           Management fees to the General Partner increased $1,660,000 (110.9%) and $1,963,269 (84.2%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004, due primarily to the unexpected collection of delinquent interest of approximately $1,399,000 on one loan at the time of payoff in July 2005. See “Financial Condition – Loan Portfolio” below.

                           Management fees to the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2 ¾% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 (annualized), the management fees were 1.46%, 2.01%, 2.00% and 3.35% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, the management fees to the general partner on an annualized basis exceed the 2 ¾% maximum pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. However, these fees will be adjusted during the succeeding six months so that they will not exceed 2 ¾% for 2005.

                           In determining the management fees and hence the yield to the partners, the General Partner may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, uninvested cash and real estate activities. The General Partner expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that the General Partner will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if the General Partner chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.

                           Legal and accounting expenses increased $150,000 (171.0%) and $185,000 (105.7%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2004, due to accounting and consulting expenses incurred in the effort to ready the Partnership’s internal controls for audit pursuant to Rule 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Partnership will continue to incur accounting and consulting related fees that have not been incurred in the past as this project is continued into 2005 and 2006.

                           Rental and other expenses on real estate properties increased $80,000 (4.3%) during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the acquisition through foreclosure of the assisted living facility located in Monterey, California in June 2004.

                           Interest expense decreased $108,000 (40.0%) and $170,000 (30.6%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004, primarily because the Partnership did not utilize its line of credit to invest in loans secured by trust deeds during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

                           The increase in the provision for loan losses of $350,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio, which resulted in an increase in the specific allowance for one delinquent loan in the amount of $500,000 and a decrease in the general allowance for loan losses in the amount of $150,000 during 2005.

  Financial Condition

  June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004

  Loan Portfolio

                           The number of Partnership mortgage investments decreased from 87 to 84, and the average loan balance increased from $2,970,000 to $3,114,000 between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005.

                           Approximately $17,329,000 (6.6%) and $37,319,000 (14.4%) of the loans invested in by the Partnership were more than ninety days delinquent in monthly payments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Partnership’s investment in loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $51,356,000 (19.6%) and $23,583,000 (9.3%) as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Of the impaired loans, approximately $1,100,000 (0.4%) and $4,000,000 (1.5%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure, and approximately $5,182,000 (2.0%) and $5,182,000 (2.0%), respectively, involved loans to borrowers who were in bankruptcy. Of the total past maturity loans as of June 30, 2005, four loans in the total amount of approximately $27,923,000 were paid off in full subsequent to quarter end.

                           Loans in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2004 consisted of two loans, of which one loan in the amount of $2,900,000 was sold to an unrelated party during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and one loan in the amount of $1,100,000 is still delinquent and in foreclosure.

                           One loan in the amount of $14,000,000 which had entered into foreclosure during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was paid off in full in July 2005 (subsequent to quarter end). The Partnership had participated in this loan with an unrelated mortgage investment group (the “Lead Lender”) that originated the loan with the borrower. The Partnership and the Lead Lender were subject to an Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of which stated that the Partnership was guaranteed its share of interest and principal prior to any other lenders participated in the loan. The loan had been past maturity since March 31, 2004 and, at the time of payoff, the Lead Lender paid the Partnership all of its delinquent interest on its portion of the loan of approximately $1,399,000. This interest has been accrued in the Partnership’s statement of income as of June 30, 2005.

                           Loans involving borrowers in bankruptcy as of December 31, 2004 consisted of two loans, which are still in bankruptcy as of June 30, 2005.

                           As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership held the following types of mortgages:

June 30,
2005
December 31,
2004

        1st Mortgages
    $ 259,774,220     256,372,106  
        2nd Mortgages       1,829,774     2,059,796  


        Total     $ 261,603,994   $ 258,431,902  



   
        Income Producing Properties     $ 168,843,710   $ 159,885,572  
        Construction       45,371,652     66,934,856  
        Unimproved Land       47,173,632     31,396,474  
        Residential       215,000     215,000  


           Total     $ 261,603,994   $ 258,431,902  



                           The Partnership’s investment in construction loans decreased by $21,563,000 (32.2%) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to partial payoffs received on two loans in the total amount of approximately $9,443,000, the completion of construction (and reclassification to “Income Producing”) on properties securing three loans in the total amount of approximately $24,213,000, net of the origination of two new construction loans and additional construction advances on existing loans of approximately $12,093,000 during the six month period.

                           The Partnership’s investment in loans on unimproved land increased by $15,777,000 (50.3%) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily the result of the origination of six new loans secured by unimproved land in the total amount of approximately $19,186,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005, net of repayments on three loans in the total amount of approximately $3,409,000. All of the loans secured by unimproved land are first trust deeds.

                           Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

2005 2004
Balance, beginning of period     $ 4,100,000   $ 4,100,000  
    Provision       350,000     (100,000 )
    Recovery of bad debts       --     100,000  
    Charge-off       --     --  


Balance, end of period     $ 4,450,000   $ 4,100,000  



  Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment

                           As of June 30, 2005, the Partnership held title to nine properties that were foreclosed on or purchased by the Partnership since 1997 in the amount of $32,154,000 (including properties held in four limited liability companies), net of allowance for losses of $660,000 and accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,681,000. As of June 30, 2005, properties held for sale total $8,730,000 and properties held for investment total $23,424,000. When the Partnership acquires property by foreclosure, it typically earns less income on those properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may not be able to sell the properties in a timely manner. Three of the Partnership’s nine properties do not currently generate revenue.

                           During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, three lots (two including houses) located in a manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California (that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1997) were sold for $415,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $99,000.

                           During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, a parcel of unimproved land located in Sacramento, California that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1994 was sold for $1,000,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $449,000.

                           On June 10, 2005, the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the General Partner agreed to sell the Partnership’s industrial land located in San Jose, California to a third party for $5,196,750, subject to certain conditions. The book value of this property was approximately $3,026,000 as of June 30, 2005. The sale is not expected to close until late 2005 or early 2006. The Purchase and Sale Agreement is included as Exhibit 10 to this Form 10-Q.

                           Changes in the allowance for real estate losses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

2005 2004
Balance, beginning of period     $ 660,000   $ 660,000  
    Provision       --     --  
    Deductions for real estate sold       --     --  


Balance, end of period     $ 660,000   $ 660,000  



  Interest and Other Receivables

                           Interest and other receivables increased from approximately $3,196,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $5,013,000 as of June 30, 2005 ($1,817,000 or 56.8%) due primarily to the accrual of past due interest of approximately $1,399,000 on a loan which was paid off in full in July 2005 (subsequent to quarter end). See “Financial Condition – Loan Portfolio” above.

  Due from Affiliate

                           Due from affiliate decreased from approximately $62,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $15,000 ($47,000 or 76.0%) as of June 30, 2005 due to the collection of accrued interest from Dation as a result of lot and house sales during the six month period.

  Due to General Partner

                           Due to General Partner increased from approximately $673,000 as of December 31, 2004 to approximately $2,630,000 as of June 30, 2005 ($1,957,000 or 290.8%) due to increased management fees owed to the General Partner as of June 30, 2005. See “Results of Operations” above.

  Note Payable

                           Note payable increased from approximately $9,728,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $10,500,000 ($772,000 or 7.9%) as of June 30, 2005 due to the refinancing of the note payable securing the Greeley, Colorado retail complex. The existing note payable was fully paid with the proceeds and the additional funds from the new loan have been used for property improvements.

  Note and Interest Payable to General Partner

                           Note and interest payable to general partner increased from approximately $1,103,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $1,218,000 ($115,000 or 10.5%) as of June 30, 2005 due to the accrual of interest on the note payable to the general partner during the six month period.

Asset Quality

                           There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on specific loans or on segments of the loan portfolio. The conclusion that a Partnership loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although lenders such as banks and savings and loans are subject to regulations that require them to perform ongoing analyses of their loan portfolios (including analyses of loan to value ratios, reserves, etc.), and to obtain current information regarding its borrowers and the securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has not adopted these practices. Rather, management of the General Partner, in connection with the quarterly closing of the accounting records of the Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, evaluates the Partnership’s mortgage loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on the General Partner’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the Partnership’s loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters:

o prevailing economic conditions;

o the Partnership’s historical loss experience;

o the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio;

o borrowers’ financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay;

o evaluation of industry trends;

o review and evaluation of loans identified as having loss potential; and

o estimated net realizable value or fair value of the underlying collateral.

                           Based upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover potential losses of the Partnership. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Partnership increased the allowance for loan losses in the amount of $350,000. As of June 30, 2005, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4,450,000 and the allowance for real estate losses in the amount of $660,000 are adequate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                           Sales of Units to investors, portfolio loan payoffs, and advances on the Partnership’s line of credit provide the capital for new mortgage investments. If general market interest rates were to rise substantially, investors might turn to interest-yielding investments other than Partnership Units, which would reduce the liquidity of the Partnership and its ability to make additional mortgage investments to take advantage of the generally higher interest rates. In contrast, a significant increase in the dollar amount of loan payoffs and additional limited partner investments without the origination of new loans of the same amount would increase the liquidity of the Partnership. This increase in liquidity could result in a decrease in the yield paid to limited partners as the Partnership would be required to invest the additional funds in lower yielding, short term investments. With the exception of the reinvestment of distributions, the Partnership has been closed to most new limited partner investments since September 2001, because there have not been enough suitable mortgage investments to allow the Partnership to remain fully invested in loans for a sustained period of time.

                           Withdrawal percentages have been 6.64%, 5.45%, 3.32%, 4.42%, 4.47% and 3.67% (annualized) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These percentages are the annual average of the limited partners’ capital withdrawals in each calendar quarter divided by the total limited partner capital as of the end of each quarter.

                           The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from the Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding capital accounts at $1.00 per Unit within 61 to 91 days after written notices are delivered to the General Partner, subject to the following limitations, among others:

o No withdrawal of Units can be requested or made until at least one year from the date of purchase of those Units, other than Units received under the Partnership’s Reinvested Distribution Plan.

o Any such payments are required to be made only from net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined) during said 91-day period.

o A maximum of $100,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter.

o The General Partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding such payments.

o No more than 10% of the total outstanding limited partnership interests may be withdrawn during any calendar year except upon a plan of dissolution of the Partnership.

                           The Partnership may incur indebtedness for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, among other things. The total amount of indebtedness incurred by the Partnership cannot exceed the sum of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership loans. The Partnership has executed a line of credit agreement with a bank, which provides interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The amount of credit available under this line of credit is $40,000,000. There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of June 30, 2005. The Partnership also has a note payable with a bank through its investment in 720 University, LLC with a balance of $10,500,000 as of June 30, 2005.

Contingency Reserves

                           The Partnership maintains cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of 2% of the limited partners’ capital accounts to cover expenses in excess of revenues or other unforeseen obligations of the Partnership. Although the General Partner believes that contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for the Partnership to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of its investments to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to the Partnership.

  Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

                           The following table contains information about the Partnership’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of June 30, 2005. The presentation for each category aggregates the assets and liabilities by their maturity dates for maturities occurring in each of the years 2006 through 2010 and aggregates the information for all maturities arising after 2010. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2005.

  Market Risk

                           Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, equity prices and real estate values. The Partnership does not have any assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Partnership does not hedge or otherwise seek to manage interest rate risk. The Partnership does not enter into risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

                           The majority of the Partnership’s mortgage loans (88.1% as of June 30, 2005) earn interest at fixed rates. All of the mortgage loans are held for investment purposes and are held until maturity. None of the mortgage loans have prepayment penalties. Changes in interest rates may affect the value of the Partnership’s investment in mortgage loans and the rates at which the Partnership reinvests funds obtained from loan repayments and new capital contributions from limited partners. As interest rates increase, although the interest rates the Partnership obtains from reinvested funds will generally increase, the value of the Partnership’s existing loans at fixed rates will generally tend to decrease. As interest rates decrease, the amounts becoming available to the Partnership for investment due to repayment of Partnership loans may be invested at lower rates than the Partnership had been able to obtain in prior investments, or than the rates on the repaid loans.

                           The Partnership’s note payable bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.07%. The Partnership’s line of credit payable (currently no balance outstanding) bears interest at a variable rate, tied to the bank’s prime rate. As a result, the Partnership’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, which will affect the interest cost of outstanding amounts on the note and line of credit payable.

  Item 4. Controls and Procedures

                           Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the General Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s management, including the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

  PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

  Item 1. Legal Proceedings

  The Partnership is not presently involved in any material legal proceedings.

  Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

  None

  Item 5. Other Information

(a) Information responsive to Item 1.01 of Form 8-K (Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement):

  On June 10, 2005, as amended on August 9, 2005, the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (Agreement), as Seller of a property owned by it in San Jose, California (the Property), with Venture Development Corporation, an unrelated California corporation, as Buyer. The Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Form 10-Q.

  The following is a brief description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement that are material to the Partnership.

  The buyer has deposited $50,000 with the escrow holder, First American Title Guaranty Company, which is applicable to the purchase price of $5,196,750, subject to specific conditions to the completion of Buyer’s purchase and close of escrow on the sale on the Property.

  The first of such conditions is the acceptance by Buyer of the preliminary title report, which has been delivered to the Buyer by the escrow holder in accordance with the Agreement. It contains exceptions to which the Buyer has made specific objections or are pending Buyer’s satisfaction as part of its feasibility study. As of August 11, 2005, the Partnership has elected to cure or delete certain of the exceptions in the preliminary title report at its expense. By the expiration of the feasibility period (see below), the Buyer may elect in writing to either waive the other objections to the preliminary title report and proceed with its purchase or terminate the Agreement, in which case it will be entitled to return of its deposit with the escrow holder.

  The second condition to the Buyer’s purchase is that the Agreement, as amended on August 9, 2005, gives the Buyer until September 8, 2005 (the feasibility period) to conduct specified studies and investigations of the Property and the complete discretionary right to approve or disapprove of the economic feasibility of the Property within the feasibility period. Written disapproval of the Property by the Buyer within that period terminates the Agreement, and under the Agreement the deposit would be refunded to the Buyer. Acceptance in writing by the Buyer or the failure of the Buyer to give written notice of disapproval, within the feasibility period, would satisfy the condition, and the Buyer in order to proceed with its purchase would then be required to make an additional deposit of $50,000 to the escrow holder, within the feasibility period. If such deposit is not made, the second condition is not satisfied, and the Agreement would automatically terminate, with the buyer entitled to return of its initial deposit.

  The purchase by the Buyer is also conditioned upon the furnishing of an acceptable title insurance policy at or before the close of escrow and upon the Partnership having complied with its obligations under the Agreement. The Partnership expects those conditions to be satisfied and the escrow to close. Prior to the close of escrow, the Buyer is required to deliver the balance of the purchase price in cash to the escrow holder.

  Close of escrow will occur upon five days prior written notice from the Buyer, but must occur not later than ninety days following the satisfaction, or waiver in writing by the Buyer, of the feasibility period condition described above. The close of escrow is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to Buyer’s purchase summarized above, and to the material performance, or written waiver by the Partnership, of all obligations of the Buyer required by the Agreement.

  The Agreement contains other material provisions, such as representations and warranties of the Partnership, including with respect to its lack of knowledge of any hazardous materials on the Property, that are customary in similar types of real property purchase and sale agreements. The Agreement provides that the representations and warranties of the Partnership extend to the date that is six months following the close of escrow.

Escrow No. NCS-170827-SC


                           OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND, a California limited partnership (“Seller”) is the owner of that certain real property, consisting of approximately fourteen and two tenths (14.2) acres of land, located at 455 Piercy Road in the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of California, more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (APN 678-93-030), together with all easements and appurtenances thereto, including, without limitation, all rights owned by Seller to any mineral rights, water and water rights, wells, well rights and well permits, sanitary and/or storm sewer capacity or reservations and rights under utility agreements with any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental entities or agencies with respect to the providing of utility services to such land referred to above (collectively, the “Property”). This Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”) nominates First American Title Guaranty Company as escrow holder (“Escrow Holder”) and constitutes an agreement by which Seller agrees to sell and VENTURE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a California corporation, dba Venture Corporation (“Buyer’) agrees to buy, the Property on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

ARTICLE 1
RECITALS

                           The Recitals described above are true and correct and are incorporated into the body of this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.

ARTICLE 2
DEPOSITS

                           2.1 Deposits. The total amount of Deposits to be paid by Buyer under this Agreement is equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and such Deposits shall be paid in the following manner:

                                       2.1.1 First Deposit. Within three (3) business days following the date this Agreement is fully executed by Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder, the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “First Deposit”) as a deposit on account of the Purchase Price. Escrow Holder shall place the First Deposit in an interest-bearing account, with interest accruing for the benefit of and payable to Buyer. The interest accrued on the First Deposit while in escrow shall be deemed part of the First Deposit for purposes of this Agreement. If the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are satisfied (or waived in writing by Buyer) on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period referred to in Section 4.1.2 below, then the First Deposit shall be released by Escrow Holder to Seller and shall become non-refundable to Buyer (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). In the event any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.2 are not satisfied (or waived in writing by Buyer) within the time periods prescribed by such Sections, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and the First Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer.

                                       2.1.2 Second Deposit. Upon satisfaction (or waiver in writing by Buyer in its sole discretion) of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 below, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder for immediate release to Seller, an additional sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Second Deposit”) as a deposit on account of the Purchase Price. Upon delivery of such Second Deposit with Escrow Holder (and immediate release of the same to Seller), such Second Deposit (and First Deposit referred to above) shall become non-refundable to Buyer (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). If Buyer does not deposit the Second Deposit with Escrow Holder on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, then the condition set forth in Section 4.1.2 shall be deemed unsatisfied, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder (except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) shall cease, and Buyer shall be entitled to the prompt return of its First Deposit.

                           Without limiting the foregoing, as of the close of escrow hereunder, Buyer releases and forever discharges Seller from any and all claims and causes of action under or with respect to the Carpenter-Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act (California Health and Safety Code Section 25300 et seq.) (including section 25359.7, Title 42 U.S.C. section 9601 et seq. (“CERCLA”), and or Title 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq. (“RCRA”), as these laws may be amended in the future; provided, however, that such release and discharge shall not apply to matters covered by the specific representations and warranties contained in Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.10 above or to any other matter expressly represented and warranted elsewhere by Seller herein...

                           Buyer, on behalf of itself, its officers, directors, employees, agents and their respective successors and assigns hereby expressly waives, as of the close of escrow, all rights and benefits afforded by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows:

                           “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

                           The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive Close of Escrow in perpetuity.

                           9.1 Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

                                       9.1.1 Seller covenants and agrees to pay off and discharge in full and/or remove from the condition of title of the Property at or prior to the close of escrow hereunder, as the case may be, all deeds of trust, mortgages and other monetary liens (other than non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments) affecting the Property, and the same shall not constitute Approved Exceptions.

                                       9.1.2 Prior to the close of escrow hereunder (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion), create any encumbrance or lien upon the Property, or originate or cause any assessments to be charged against the Property.

                                       9.1.3 Seller shall not enter into any service contracts, maintenance agreements, property management contracts, leases or other agreements, or any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals to or of the same, with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof which would survive the close of escrow, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Seller shall terminate, as of the close of escrow hereunder, all service contracts, maintenance agreements and property management contracts applicable to all or any portion of the Property and/or the improvements thereon.

                                       9.1.4 Prior to the close of escrow hereunder, Seller shall continue to manage, operate and maintain the Property employing the same management, operation and maintenance standards as were employed by Seller prior to the execution of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
DEFAULTS

                           10.1 Seller Default. In the event Seller fails or refuses to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement when due and such failure or refusal continues for a period of at least five (5) days following receipt of written notice by Seller from Buyer (except that such five (5) day cure period shall not be applicable to any breach by Seller of its obligation to deliver title to the Property to Buyer at closing in the condition required by this Agreement), then Seller shall be in breach or default of such obligation(s) under this Agreement. In the event of such breach or default, Buyer shall be entitled to (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event, Seller shall promptly refund, or cause Escrow Holder to refund, to Buyer the Deposits and all interest accrued thereon while in escrow, and Buyer may bring an action to recover all damages suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of Seller’s breach, or (b) to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity, including, without limitation, filing an action for specific performance.

In the event Buyer fails or refuses to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement when due and such failure or refusal continues for a period of at least five (5) days following receipt of written notice by Buyer from Seller, (except that such five (5) day period shall not be applicable to any breach of Buyer of its obligations to timely deposit the entire purchase price with the Escrow Holder prior to Close of Escrow.) then Buyer shall be in breach or default of such obligation(s) under this Agreement. In the event of such breach or default, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to receive and retain the Deposits as liquidated damages; except that if Buyer breaches its indemnification obligation under Section 6.1 above, then Seller shall not be so limited in its remedies and may pursue an action against Buyer for breach of such indemnification obligation.

BROKER’S COMMISSIONS

                           Buyer and Seller each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or salesperson in connection with this transaction to whom a commission may be owed other than CPS Commercial Property Services (“CPS”). Buyer covenants and agrees to pay CPS a commission in connection with the transaction described herein at the close of escrow pursuant to a separate written agreement. Such commission shall be payable to CPS if, and only if, escrow closes under this Agreement, as the same may be amended by Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs) respecting payment of any sales commission, brokerage commission or finder’s fee to CPS pursuant to the terms of the separate written agreement between Buyer and CPS. In addition, each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other on account of any claims, demands, causes of action, or judgments respecting payment of any sales commission, brokerage commission or finder’s fee, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising from or brought by any third party (other than the CPS) who has dealt or claims to have dealt with such indemnifying party pertaining to the Property. The obligations under this Article 12 shall survive the close of escrow.

ARTICLE 13
TRADE OR EXCHANGE

                           Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in the event Seller attempts to effectuate a Section 1031 exchange with respect to the Property. Such cooperation shall include payment at closing hereunder of all or part of the sales price to a qualified intermediary, in lieu of Seller, under a deferred type exchange, provided that Buyer shall not be required to obtain title to any exchange or target property, execute any promissory note or other document or instrument which would or could impose personal liability upon Buyer, enter into any contract with a third party or make any payment to a third party (other than as provided above), or incur any additional expense, cost or liability whatsoever (including, but not limited to, liabilities or warranties of title, or assumption of indebtedness) with regard to the Section 1031 exchange or exchanges. Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any additional fees, costs or expenses and shall not be obligated to execute documents without Buyer’s attorneys’ approval of all such documents reasonably required by Seller in connection with such exchange or exchanges. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any claim, damage, liability, demand, cause of action, loss, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) Buyer may suffer or incur as a result of Buyer’s participation in the aforesaid exchange or exchanges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s agreement hereunder to participate in a tax-deferred exchange or exchanges shall not extend the closing date hereunder. Buyer shall not, by this Agreement or acquiescence to the exchange contemplated by this Article 13, (a) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (b) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that any exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The obligations of Seller under this Article 13 shall survive the close of escrow.

ARTICLE 14
GENERAL ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

                           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in lieu of the general provisions of Escrow Holder’s standard form instructions, the following shall apply:

                           14.1 Deposit of Funds. All funds received in this escrow shall be deposited with other escrow funds in a general escrow account or accounts of Escrow Holder, with any state or national bank, and may be transferred to any other general escrow account or accounts. All disbursements shall be made by check of Escrow Holder.

                           14.2 Prorations and Adjustments. All prorations and/or adjustments called for in this escrow are to be made on the basis of a thirty (30) day month.

ARTICLE 15
GENERAL PROVISIONS

                           Buyer and Seller further agree as follows:

                           15.1 Possession. Buyer shall be entitled to possession of the Property on the Closing Date, free and clear of all tenancies and other third party occupancy rights.

                           15.2 Merger. All negotiations and agreements, oral or written, heretofore had by and between the parties and their agents with respect to this transaction are merged into this Agreement, which completely sets forth the obligations of the parties.

                           15.3 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings an action at law or in equity to enforce, interpret or redress the breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to its litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in addition to all other relief as may be allowed by law. “Prevailing party” within the meaning of this Section shall include, without limitation, a party who brings an action, which action is dismissed after the other party’s payment of the sum allegedly due or performance of the covenant allegedly breached or if the party obtains substantially the relief sought by it in the action.

                           15.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

                           15.5 Assignment. Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder subject to obtaining the prior written approval of Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The preceding notwithstanding, Buyer shall have the right, without having to obtain Seller’s consent but upon written notice to Seller, to assign this Agreement or Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder, to an entity in which an affiliate of Buyer or Robert J. Eves holds a direct or indirect interest. At the Close of Escrow hereunder, title to the Property shall vest in such entity designated by Buyer. In the event of any assignment by Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall not be released of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

                           15.6 Successors. Subject to the provisions of Section 15.5 above, All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the respective assigns and successors of Seller and Buyer.

                           15.7 Captions. The captions and headings in this Agreement are for reference and convenience only and shall not limit or expand the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

                           15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

                           15.9 Exhibits. All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference.

                           15.10 Interpretation of Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, although this Agreement has been drafted by Buyer’s legal counsel, Seller or its legal counsel have negotiated, or had an opportunity to negotiate, the terms of such Agreement. Consequently, the doctrine that ambiguities in an agreement should be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in connection with this Agreement and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning.

                           15.11 No Waiver. No failure of either party hereto to exercise any right hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligations specified herein, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.

                           15.12 Back-Up Offers. Seller shall continue to market the subject Property for sale and may accept back-up offers to sell the Property.

                           15.13. No Representation as to Size. Seller has not made and is not herein making any representations of the size of the subject Property. The selling price shall not be adjusted to reflect actual size of the subject Property.

                           15.14 Condemnation. If, prior to the close of escrow, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact. In such event or upon Buyer acquiring knowledge of such condemnation or pending or contemplated taking, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Seller or after Buyer acquires knowledge of such condemnation or pending or contemplated taking. Upon such termination, Escrow Holder or Seller, as the case may be, shall return the Deposits (and all interest accrued thereon while in escrow) to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement and closes escrow in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall assign and turn over to Buyer at closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards (received or to be received) for the taking by condemnation and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Property subject to the taking without reduction in the Purchase Price.

                           15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.

                           15.16 ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES: (If initialed by all parties) Buyer and Seller agree, subject to the exclusions set forth below, that any dispute or claim between Buyer and Seller with respect to, or arising out of, this Agreement shall be decided by neutral, binding arbitration in accordance with the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure 1280 et seq. and not by court action except as provided by California law for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. The parties to an arbitration may agree in writing to use different rules and/or arbitrator(s). In all other respects, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with Part III, Title 9 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties shall have the right to discovery in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure § 1283.05.

                           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties agree that the following procedure shall govern the making of the award by the arbitrator(s):

                           (a) a Tentative Award shall be made by the arbitrator(s) within thirty (30) days following submission of the matter to the arbitrator(s); (b) the Tentative Award shall explain the factual and legal basis for the arbitrator’s (or arbitrators’) decision as to each of the principal controverted issues; (c) the Tentative Award shall be in writing unless the parties agree otherwise; provided, however, that if the hearing is concluded within one day, the Tentative Award may be made orally at the hearing in the presence of the parties; (d) within fifteen (15) days after the Tentative Award has been served or announced, any party may serve objections to the Tentative Award. Upon objections being timely served, the arbitrator(s) may call for additional evidence, oral or written argument, or both. If no objections are filed, the Tentative Award shall become final without further action by the parties or arbitrator(s), and (e) within thirty (30) days after the filing of objections, the arbitrator(s) shall either make the Tentative Award final or modify or correct the Tentative Award, which shall then become final as modified or corrected.

                           The following matters are excluded from arbitration hereunder (a) a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other action or proceeding to enforce a deed of trust, mortgage or real property sales contract as defined in Section 2985; (b) an unlawful detainer action; (c) the filing or enforcement of a mechanic’s lien; (d) any matter which is within the jurisdiction of a probate court or small claims court; or (e) an action for bodily injury or wrongful death, or for latent or patent defects to Code of Civil Procedure 337.1 or 337.15 applies. The filing of a judicial action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, for order of attachment, receivership, injunction, or other provisional remedies, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate under this provision.

                           NOTICE: BY INITIALING IN THE SPACE BELOW YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

Our File No.:12784-050

  Dear Mr. Owens:

                           This firm represents Venture Development Corporation (“Buyer”) in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions, dated as of June 10, 2005, by and between Buyer and Owens Mortgage Investment Fund (“Seller”) with respect to the above-referenced Property (“Agreement”).

                           Buyer desires a thirty (30) day extension of the Feasibility Period so that Buyer can meet with representatives of the City of San Jose concerning certain zoning issues affecting the Property and to confirm whether the Property’s existing zoning will allow the uses of the Property contemplated by Buyer and its prospective commercial condominium purchasers. We understand that, to date, Seller has not agreed in writing to such thirty day extension. If such extension is not agreed to in writing by Seller today, then this letter shall serve as Buyer’s notice to Seller of its disapproval of the feasibility of the Property pursuant to Section 4.1.2 of the Agreement.

                           We are transmitting this letter solely to protect Buyer’s right to the return of its deposit (in accordance with the Agreement) if the extension is not granted. If Seller desires to extend the Feasibility Period for the thirty (30) additional days beyond today, then please execute this letter below today and return it to me no later than tomorrow. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

                           Please feel free to call if you have any questions concerning this matter.

Very truly yours,

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;
