               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 $2,754,509 and $2,420,094 at June
30, 1999 and 1998,  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 $76,000 and $66,000 for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income actually recognized during
1999 and 1998 was approximately $19,000 and $24,000, respectively.

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, 1999 as Compared to
the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 1998:


                                    Revenues

On June 17, 1999, the Trust  received  $1,380,493 in full and final payment of a
loan owing to the Trust from St. Stephens  Church of God in Christ,  Inc. of San
Diego,  California.  Such  amount  paid  in full  the  principal,  interest  and
attorney's fees owing to the Trust by such Borrower. The loan had been accounted
for as a nonperforming  loan by the Trust and certain interest payments had been
credited  to  principal.  Therefore,  the  pay-off  resulted  in  an  additional
recognition of interest income of approximately $611,000 during June 1999.

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  $471,135  for  the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the corresponding  period
in 1998 is primarily due to the pay-off of the  aforementioned  loan, the effect
of which was offset by a decrease in the amount of  performing  loans and church
bonds  from  approximately   $35,656,000  at  June  30,  1998  to  approximately
$34,046,000 at June 30, 1999 and also a decline in the average rate of return of
the  mortgage  loan and church  bond  portfolio  from 10.57% at June 30, 1998 to
9.82% at June 30, 1999.

At June 30, 1999,  the Trust has four loans  totaling  approximately  $4,187,000
(accrued  interest totaling  approximately  $139,000) to a certain borrower that
began  experiencing  cash flow  difficulty  and has been unable to make  certain
required monthly interest payments. The Trust believes that the borrower will be
able to improve its cash flow and,  therefore,  has not yet  accounted for these
loans as  nonperforming;  however,  the Trust will  continue to closely  monitor
these  loans,  and  it is  possible  that  the  loans  could  be  classified  as
nonperforming in the future.

                                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, 1999 and 1998.  The  decrease of $57,402 in interest  expense  resulted
from a decrease in the average total amount of indebtedness  outstanding  during
the three-month  period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period ended
June 30,  1998 and a  decrease  in the  weighted  average  interest  rate on all
indebtedness from 7.48% at June 30, 1998 to 6.87% at June 30, 1999.

                            Other Operating Expenses

Other operating  expenses were $172,836 for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and were less than the  $179,719 for the same period in 1997,  primarily  due to
lower legal costs.

                                    Year 2000

The following  information  which appears in this section  constitutes Year 2000
Readiness  Disclosure,  pursuant  to  the  Year  2000  ("Y2K")  Information  and
Readiness  Disclosure Act. The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems
using a two-digit  format,  as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Any
of the Trust's computer programs or hardware that have  date-sensitive  software
or embedded chips may not appropriately interpret dates beyond the year 1999.

This could result in a system failure,  miscalculation  or other computer errors
causing  disruptions  of  operations.  The  Trust's  plan to  address  the issue
involves the follow five phases: awareness, assessment, remediation, testing and
implementation.  The plan also  involves  communicating  with  external  service
providers to ensure that they are taking  appropriate  action to remedy any Year
2000 issues.  To date,  the Trust has completed  its  assessment of systems that
could be affected by the Year 2000. As part of the  assessment  phase,  systems,
which have the greatest impact, were designated as mission critical systems.

Internal mission  critical  systems include the Trust's internal  accounting and
information system. This system includes a small server-based local area network
and a small peer-to-peer network that uses commercially  available operating and
networking software. The vendors (primarily Microsoft,  Compaq and Gateway) have
certified this hardware and software as Year 2000 compliant. The Trust's primary
application programs (including general ledger, mortgage loan, shareholder, bond
financing and Secured Savings  Certificate  accounting  modules) are customized.
During  November  1998,  an  independent  consultant  performed  an  analysis to
determined  if programs  were Year 2000  compliant.  The cost of the testing was
less than $1,000.

The  Trust has  engaged  the  consultant  to  modify  and test the  noncompliant
programs.  Remediation  began about  December 1998 and through June 30, 1999 was
65% complete.  The consultant has committed to the completion of remediation and
testing no later than December 15, 1999,  however, it is believed that remaining
modifications  and testing  will be  virtually  complete by the end of the third
calendar  quarter.  It is estimated that the cost to modify the files will range
from $6,000 to $7,500 (excluding the cost to upgrade and replace systems used in
the  ordinary  course of  business).  Such  costs  will be charged to expense as
incurred.

The Trust's  operations are relatively  simple.  As far as essential vendors are
concerned,  the primary ones are considered to be the Trust's  primary bank (the
same bank serves as  depositor  and  lender),  and the  electric  and  telephone
utility.  The Trust has received  reports from these  providers  regarding their
efforts to attain Y2K readiness. The negative impact of large loan customers who
have not dealt with the  implications  of the Y2K  problem  on their  operations
could be serious to the Trust. However, the Trust does not believe that the risk
to its  typical  loan  customer  is as  great  as it is to a  normal  commercial
operation.  This is due to the fact that the source of loan  payments  generally
made by all churches is from individuals making  contributions via cash or check
to the church.  Accordingly, it is believed that most churches should not suffer
adversely  from  the Y2K  issue.  Nevertheless,  the  Trust  surveyed  its  loan
customers  with  balances over $100,000 in the first quarter of calendar 1999 to
determine their Y2K  compliance.  Most churches have responded that they will be
in  compliance.  The Trust intends to follow up soon on those  churches who have
not responded.

                        (A Real Estate Investment Trust)

The Trust believes that it has an effective program in place to resolve the Year
2000 issue in a timely manner and that it is unlikely that Year 2000 issues will
cause any  significant  problems  with  customer  service  or  otherwise  have a
material  adverse  impact on the Trust's  operations  or financial  performance.
However,  if appropriate  modifications are not completed in a timely manner for
some unexpected reason, the Year 2000 issue could impact the Trust's operations.
In  addition,  disruptions  in the economy  generally  resulting  from Year 2000
issues could also  materially  impact the Trust.  There can be no guarantee that
the systems of other companies on which the Trust is effected will be remediated
in a timely manner and not have any adverse impact on the Trust's operations. At
this time, the Trust has not developed year 2000 contingency  plans,  other than
the review and remedial  actions  described  above, and does not intend to do so
unless  the  Trust  believes  such  plans  are  merited  by the  results  of its
continuing Year 2000 review.

The Trust has not  developed a "worst case"  scenario  with respect to Year 2000
issues,  but  instead  has  focused  its  resources  on  identifying   material,
remediable problems and reducing uncertainties generally,  through the Year 2000
review described above.
