NOTE 1 - GENERAL

See Summary of Significant  Accounting  Policies in the Trust's Annual Report on
Form 10- KSB405 for a summary of the Trust's significant accounting policies.

The unaudited condensed financial  statements included herein were 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  Shareholders.  The current  interim  period  reported
herein is included in the fiscal year subject to independent audit at the end of
that year and is not  necessarily an indication of the expected  results for the
fiscal year.

NOTE 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 $2,420,094 and $2,998,476 at June
30, 1998 and 1997,  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 $66,000 and $60,000 for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest income actually recognized during
1998 was approximately $24,000.  Interest income actually recognized in 1997 was
not significant.


NOTE 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
1997, Church Loans discontinued the sale of Certificates.

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% of the  aggregate  principal  amount of
Certificates outstanding.

                   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, 1998 as Compared to
the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 1997:

                                    Revenues

The Trust's  revenues are derived from  interest  income earned on loans as well
as,  to a  lesser  degree,  interest  earned  on  church  bonds  and  short-term
investments.   The  increase  in  the  Trust's  revenues  of  $184,582  for  the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the corresponding  period
in 1997 is primarily  due to an increase in the amount of  performing  loans and
church bonds from  $27,508,857  at June 30, 1997 to $35,655,868 at June 30, 1998
and a slight  increase in the average  rate of return of the  mortgage  loan and
church bond portfolio from 10.54% at June 30, 1997 to 10.57% at June 30, 1998.


                                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, 1998 and 1997.  The  increase of $69,255 in interest  expense  resulted
from an increase in the average total amount of indebtedness  outstanding during
the three-month  period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period ended
June 30, 1997 and a slight increase in the weighted average interest rate on all
indebtedness from 7.29% at June 30, 1997 to 7.48% at June 30, 1998.


                            Other Operating Expenses


Other operating  expenses were $179,719 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
and were comparable to $177,405 for the same period in 1997.


                                    Liquidity

At June 30, 1998, the Trust had book cash overdrafts of $178,475;  however,  the
Trust  also  had  $8,900,000  available  on its  line  of  credit  with a  bank.
Management believes that this and repayments from loans will be adequate to meet
the Trust's obligations.
