NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)                      NOVEMBER 30, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Community  Reinvestment Act Qualified  Investment Fund (the "Fund") was
organized  as a  Delaware  business  trust  on  January  15,  1999.  The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended,  as
an open-end,  management investment company. The Fund is a non-diversified fund.
The Fund is organized to offer a single class of shares of beneficial  interest.
The initial  capitalization of the Fund, $100,000,  was provided on June 3, 1999
by  CRAFund  Advisors,  Inc.,(the  "Advisor").  The  Fund  commenced  investment
operations on August 30, 1999.

     The  costs   incurred  in  connection   with  the   organization,   initial
registration  and public offering of shares have been paid by CRAFund  Advisors,
Inc.(the "Advisor").  Accordingly, no organizational costs have been recorded by
the Fund.

     The following is a summary of significant  accounting policies consistently
followed  by the  Fund  in the  preparation  of its  financial  statements.  The
policies are in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
investment companies.

SECURITY  VALUATION.  Investments in securities traded on a national  securities
exchange  are valued at the last  reported  sales  price.  Unlisted  securities,
listed   securities  in  which  there  were  no  sales,  or  securities   traded
over-the-counter, are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. When
market  quotations  are not readily  available,  securities and other assets are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.  Debt
securities are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services
which use  prices  provided  by  market  makers or  estimates  of market  values
obtained from yield data  relating to  instruments  or  securities  with similar
characteristics. Short-term obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, which the Board
of Trustees  believes  represents  fair value.  Discounts  and  premiums on debt
securities are amortized to income over their prospective lives.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund  may  invest  in  repurchase  agreements  from
broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions, provided that the Fund's
custodian always has possession of the securities  serving as collateral for the
repurchase  agreements  or has  proper  evidence  of book  entry  receipt of the
securities.  In a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases securities subject to
the seller's simultaneous agreement to repurchase those securities from the Fund
at a specified  time and price.  The  repurchase  price  reflects an agreed-upon
interest rate during the time of investment.  All repurchase  agreements entered
into by the Fund  must be  collateralized  by U.S.  Government  securities,  the
market  values of which  equal or  exceed  102% of the  principal  amount of the
Fund's investment.

INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND  SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS.   Security  transactions  are
accounted  for on the  date  the  securities  are  purchased  or  sold.  Cost is
determined and gains and losses are based on the identified  cost basis for both
financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend  date or as soon as information
is available to the Fund. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES.  It is the  policy  of  the  Fund  to  comply  with  all
requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable to regulated  investment
companies  and to  distribute  substantially  all of its  taxable  income to its
shareholders.  Therefore,  no Federal income tax provision is required.  Cost of
securities for tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting
purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends from net investment income are declared
and paid monthly and  distributable  net  realized  capital  gains,  if any, are
declared and distributed at least annually.  Distributions  to shareholders  are
recorded on the  ex-dividend  date.  Income and capital  gain  distribution  are
determined  in  accordance  with  income tax  regulations  which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principals.

USE OF ESTIMATES. In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles,  management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements,  as well as the reported  amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
