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 $5,625,910 and $2,522,099 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 $305,000 and $153,000 for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest income actually recognized during 2000 and 1999 was approximately $323,000 and $32,000, 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.

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

Results of Operations - Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000 as Compared to the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 1999:

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. Such revenues (decreased) increased by $(43,827) and $539,999 for the six-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Included in the 2000 periods is the revenue recognized from interest payments received on two large loans that the interest is recognized on a cash basis, which amounted to approximately $292,000. Included in the 1999 periods is the revenue recognized on a loan, which was paid in full and 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. Additionally, average loan balances and rate of returns increased during the 2000 periods. Loans outstanding were $41,129,669 and $34,470,948 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The average rate of return of the mortgage loan and church bond portfolio increased from 9.86% at September 30, 1999 to 10.67% at September 30, 2000.

Interest Expense

The most significant expense item is interest expense which comprised the majority of total operating expense for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The increase of $173,396 and $255,457 in interest expense during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, resulted from an increase in the average total amount of indebtedness as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 1999 and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on all indebtedness from 7.31% at September 30, 1999 to 8.50% at September 30, 2000.

Other Income

Other income was $184,934 and $81,654 for the six-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and was greater than the $4,792 and $2,136 for the same periods in 1999, primarily due to the gain on sale of other real estate of $180,662 and $79,518 for the same periods during 2000.
