       prepared  from  the  books  of the  Trust in  accordance  with  generally
       accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments (consisting of
       normal  recurring  accruals)  which are,  in the  opinion of  management,
       necessary to a fair  statement of the results of operations and financial
       position for the interim  periods.  Such financial  statements  generally
       conform to the  presentation  reflected in the Trust's  Annual  Report to

(4)    MORTGAGE LOANS, CHURCH BONDS AND INTERIM CONSTRUCTION LOANS

       Mortgage loans, church bonds and interim  construction loans on which the
       accrual of interest  had been  discontinued  amounted to  $3,962,215  and
       $2,769,345 at June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively. If interest
       on these mortgage loans, church bonds and interim  construction loans had
       been accrued as earned,  interest  and fees on loans in the  accompanying
       condensed statements of income would have been increased by approximately
       $98,000 and $92,000 for the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and
       1995, respectively.

                        CHURCH LOANS & INVESTMENTS TRUST
                        (A Real Estate Investment Trust)

               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

       On June 27, 1996, because of recent deterioration or past due status, the
       Trust added additional loans in the total principal balance of $1,625,514
       to nonearning  assets.  Two interim loans represented  $1,297,662 of such
       amount.  Such interim  loans were moved to  non-accrual  status after the
       makers  of  loans  filed  for  protection  under  Chapter  11 of the U.S.
       Bankruptcy Code during June 1996. In connection with placing the loans on
       nonaccrual, the Trust wrote off approximately $45,000 in accrued interest
       receivable  related to the loans.  In  addition to the  nonaccrual  loans
       previously  mentioned,  management  has  doubts as to a  certain  interim
       loan's ability to comply with present  repayment  terms.  Such loan had a
       balance  of  approximately  $1,556,000  at  June  30,  1996  and  was not
       classified as nonearning at that date. Management believes that potential
       losses related to the aforementioned  loans have been provided for in the
       Trust's allowance for possible credit losses.

(5)    SECURED SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

       Secured  Savings  Certificates  (Certificates)  are  issued in amounts of
       $1,000 or more and have  single  maturity  dates from 30 days to 10 years
       from date of issue. With respect to an individual  certificate,  interest
       rate and  frequency of payment of interest  (either  monthly,  quarterly,
       semiannually,  annually or at maturity) are fixed at the time of issuance
       of the Certificate.  Effective July 18, 1994, Church Loans decided not to
       register  and was not  able to sell  additional  SSCs  after  that  date.
       However,  during  April  1995,  the Board of Trust  Managers  decided  to
       register  $20,000,000  of SSCs on Form SB-2 and during the quarter  ended
       December 31, 1995,  such  registration  was effective and SSCs were being
       issued.

       Certificates  are secured under the terms of an indenture  that requires,
       among other things,  the pledge of mortgage notes  receivable  with total
       unpaid  principal  amounts  not less than  100% or 125% of the  aggregate
       principal amount of Certificates outstanding.  Due to the fluctuations in
       the amount of sales of  Certificates as well as in the repayment of notes
       pledged to secure the  Certificates,  the Trust has on occasion failed to
       maintain the required ratio of pledged notes to outstanding  Certificates
       for a short period of time until the deficiency  could be corrected.  The
       indenture  trustee has been aware of these temporary  technical  defaults
       and has not declared a default under the Indenture. At June 30, 1996, the
       Trust was in compliance with the requirement.

                   This information is an integral part of the
                       accompanying financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of  Operations -  Three-Month  Period Ended June 30, 1996 as Compared to
the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 1995:

                                    REVENUES

The Trust's  revenues are derived from interest  income earned on mortgage loans
as well as, to a lesser degree,  interest  earned on church bonds and short-term
investments.   The  decrease  in  the  Trust's  revenues  of  $287,169  for  the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the corresponding  period
in 1995 is primarily due to a decrease in the amount of income  recognized  from
the early pay-off of certain loans, the effect of writing off $45,000 of accrued
interest related to certain loans that were placed on nonaccrual,  a decrease in
the average rate of return of the mortgage loan and church bond  portfolio  from
10.94% at June 30, 1995 to 10.39% at June 30, 1996 and a decrease in the average
total amount of mortgage loans,  church bonds,  and interim  construction  loans
outstanding during the period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period
ended June 30, 1995.

                                INTEREST EXPENSE

The most  significant  expense  item is interest  expense  which  comprised  the
majority of total operating  expense for each of the  three-month  periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The decrease of $101,468 in interest  expense  resulted
from a decrease in the weighted average  interest rate on all indebtedness  from
8.02% at June 30, 1995,  to 7.21% at June 30, 1996, as well as a decrease in the
average total amount of indebtedness  outstanding  during the three-month period
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 1995.

                                NONEARNING ASSETS

On June 27, 1996, because of recent  deterioration or past due status, the Trust
added  additional  loans  in  the  total  principal  balance  of  $1,625,514  to
nonearning assets. Two interim loans represented $1,297,662 of such amount. Such
interim loans were moved to  non-accrual  status after the makers of loans filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during June 1996. In
connection   with  placing  the  loans  on  nonaccrual,   the  Trust  wrote  off
approximately  $45,000  in  accrued  interest  receivable  related to the loans.
Management  believes  that  potential  losses  related  to such  loans have been
provided for in the Trust's allowance for possible credit losses.

                                    LIQUIDITY

Due to the cost of  registration  and of sales of Secured  Savings  Certificates
(Certificates),  the cost of these  funds are  normally  higher than the cost of
borrowing from bank sources or master notes. Therefore, the Trust decided not to
register  additional  Certificates  and the  Trust  is not  able  to sell  these
Certificates  after July 18, 1994, and,  therefore,  did not have available this
source of funds to meet its liquidity  needs.  However,  during April 1995,  the
Board of Trust Managers decided to register $20,000,000 of SSCs on Form SB-2 and
during the quarter ended December 31, 1995, such  registration was effective and
SSCs were being issued.
