                  Significant Accounting Policies
 
   In the opinion of Colonial Trust Company (the "Company"), the
   accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all
   adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
   position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
   presented.  The accompanying statements do not include all disclosures
   considered necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles.  Therefore, it is recommended that these
   accompanying statements be read in conjunction with the financial
   statements appearing in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
    
     Nature of Business
 
   The Company was incorporated on August 15, 1989, in the State of Arizona for
   the purpose of engaging in the business of acting as a fiduciary.  The
   Company is domiciled in the State of Arizona and is regulated by the Arizona
   State Banking Department.  Its Common Stock is registered under the
   Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
         
   The Company serves as trustee under various bond indentures for issuers of
   bonds in 39 states.  The issuers are primarily churches and other non-profit
   organizations.  As trustee, the Company receives, holds, invests and
   disburses the bond proceeds as directed by the applicable trust indenture
   and receives weekly or monthly sinking fund payments from the issuer of
   bonds, and, as paying agent, pays the semi-annual principal and interest
   payments to the bondholders.
         
   The Company also serves as trustee of self-directed individual retirement
   accounts for certain bondholders or employees of religious organizations.
         
   On November 1, 1995, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding
   capital stock of Camelback Trust Company ("Camelback"). Effective on
   August 1, 1996, Camelback was merged with and into the Company, the Company
   continued as the surviving corporation, and the separate existence of
   Camelback terminated effective as of such date.  Camelback now operates as
   the Company's "Personal Trust Division."  The Personal Trust division
   provides investment management administration and custodial services for
   customers with various securities held in trust or in investment agency
   accounts.

              Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                 
     (b)  Revenue Recognition
         
    The Company is compensated for its services as trustee and paying
    agent in one of three ways.  The first fee structure allows the Company to
    invest trust funds held for disbursement and retain the gains and earnings
    therefrom.  The second fee structure requires the issuing institution
    to pay a percentage of the bond proceeds to the Company for set-up and
    bond printing costs during the first year.  Additionally, an
    annual maintenance fee is required each year.  The third fee structure
    entitles the Company to interest earnings up to 2.5% of daily trust funds
    held in bond program fund accounts in lieu of a set-up fee.  Annual
    maintenance fees and bond printing costs are charged as a percentage of the
    related bond issue.  The Company's policy is to allow the non-profit issuer
    to choose between the three fee structures.  The Company believes that
    the third fee structure is currently utilized by a majority of the
    Company's competitors.
         
     The Company also receives fees for services provided as custodian for
    self-directed individual retirement accounts.  For its services as trustee,
    the Company receives an annual base fee of $40 and a transaction fee of $5
    per transaction for each transaction in excess of 12 per year.  The Company
    also retains, as a portion of its fee, earnings of 2% on the daily
     uninvested balance in each IRA account.
         
    The Company's Personal Trust Division generates revenues based on two fee
    structures.  The first structure represents a percentage of the
    fiduciary assets, which
    are held as trustee or agent.  Fees are assessed on a quarterly basis to
    individual accounts according to the fair market value of the supporting
    fiduciary assets in such account at the end of each quarter.
         
    Under the second fee structure, the Company charges an annual fee which
    is set up to cover the maintenance of fiduciary assets which the Company
    holds in both trust and self-directed IRA accounts.
         
     (c)  Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share
         
          Basic earnings per share is computed based on weighted average shares
          outstanding and excludes any potential dilution from stock options,
          warrants and other common stock equivalents.  Diluted EPS reflects
          potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities
          into common stock or from other contracts to issue common

  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
  Results of Operations   Three-month Period Ended September 30, 1998
 
  The Company reported an increase in net earnings for the three-month period
  ended September 30,
  1998, compared to the comparable prior period.  The Company had net earnings
  of $93,821, or $.12
  per share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to
  net earnings of
  $67,545, or $.09 per share, for the three-month period ended September 30,
  1997, an increase of 39%.  The Company had total revenue of $743,722 for the
  three-month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to total revenue of
  $598,622 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, an increase
  of 24%.
 
  The Company's bond servicing income increased to $486,317 for the three-month
  period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $419,053 for the three-month
  period ended September 30,
  <PAGE>
  1997, an increase of 16%.  The increase was primarily attributable to an
  increase in the number of bond issues for which the Company serves as Trustee
  and Paying Agent.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company was serving as
  trustee for the benefit of bondholders on 432 bond offerings totaling
  approximately $353,000,000 in original principal amount; as of September 30,
  1997, the Company was serving as trustee for the benefit of bondholders on
  338 bond offerings totaling approximately $304,000,000 in original
  principal amount. The increase in new bond offerings is due to the new
  business development efforts of the Company, including, but not limited to,
  the efforts of Marv Hoeflinger, the Company's Vice President of Business
  Development, who joined the Company in February 1996.
 
  Income from IRA Accounts increased to $116,405 for the three-month period
  ended September 30, 1998, compared to $96,030 for the three-month period
  ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 21%.  The increase was due primarily
  to an increase in the number of IRA Accounts serviced by the
  Company.  IRA Accounts are serviced by both the Corporate Trust Division and
  the Personal Trust Division of the Company.  As of September 30, 1998, the
  Company served as trustee for approximately 7,550 self-directed Individual
  Retirement Accounts with total assets of approximately
  $155,000,000; as of September 30, 1997, the Company served as trustees for
  6,900 self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts with total assets of
  approximately $134,000,000.
 
  Trust fee income increased to $129,284 for the three-month period ended
  September 30, 1998, compared to $74,036 for the three-month period ended
  September 30, 1997, an increase of 75%.  The increase was due to an
  increase in the number of accounts for which the Company serves as trustee
  or agent.
 
  Interest income increased to $11,716 for the three-month period ended
  September 30, 1998,compared to $9,503 for the three-month period ended
  September 30, 1997, an increase of 23%.  The increase was primarily
  attributable to an increase in the note receivable balance due to reinvestment
  of earned income.
 
  The Company's general and administrative expenses increased to $585,505 for
  the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $485,084 for the
  three-month period ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 21%.  The
  increase was due primarily to the addition of several staff members, as
  well as other additional expenses involved in administering the Company's
  increased bond servicing, IRA and personal trust business.  The Company's
  general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of the
  Company's total revenues to 79% for the three-month period September 30,
  1998, compared to 81% for the comparable prior period.  The foregoing
  decreases reflect the Company's ability to spread its general and
  administrative expenses over an expanding revenue base.
 
  The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.7% for the three-month period
  ended September 30, 1998, and 40.5% for the three-month period ended
  September 30, 1997.
<PAGE>
  Results of Operations   Six-month Period Ended September 30, 1998
 
  The Company reported an increase in net earnings for the six-month period
  ended September 30,
  1998, compared to the comparable prior period.  The Company had net earnings
  of $187,557, or $.24
  per share, for the six-month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to net
  earnings of
  $102,928, or $.13 per share, for the six-month period ended September 30,
  1997, an increase of 82%.
  The Company had total revenue of $1,427,237 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1998,
  compared to total revenue of $1,165,430 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1997, an increase of 22%.
 
  The Company's bond servicing income increased to $938,379 for the six-month
  period ended
  September 30, 1998, compared to $784,522 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1997; an increase of 20%.  The increase was primarily
  attributable to an increase in the number of bond issues
  for which the Company serves as Trustee and Paying Agent and, to a lesser
  extent, a one-time collection of approximately $45,000 in outstanding fees
  related to a settlement of a bankruptcy estate.
 
  Income from IRA Accounts increased to $249,247 for the six-month period
  ended September 30, 1998, compared to $228,592 for the six-month period
  ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 9%.  The increase was due
  primarily to an increase in the number of IRA Accounts serviced by the
  Company.
 
  Trust fee income increased to $216,176 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1998, compared to $133,243 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1997, an increase of 62%.  The increase was due to an
  increase in the number of accounts for which the Company serves as trustee
  or agent.
 
  Interest income increased to $23,435 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1998, compared to $19,073 for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1997, an increase of 23%.  The increase was primarily
  attributable to an increase in the note receivable balance due to
  reinvestment of earned income.
 
  The Company's general and administrative expenses increased to $1,111,487
  for the six-month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $992,425 for
  the six-month period ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 12%.  The
  increase was due primarily to the addition of several staff members,
  as well as other additional expenses involved in administering the Company's
  increased bond servicing, IRA and personal trust business.  For the
  six-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company incurred an expense
  of approximately $54,500 in connection with the termination in June
  1997 of its proposed private placement of Common Stock.  Such expenses were
  for legal, accounting, and investment banking fees incurred (and previously
  accrued by the Company) in connection with such private placement.  The
  Company sold no securities in the private placement.  The Company's
  general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of the
  Company's total revenues to 78% for the six-month period September 30, 1998,
  compared to 85% for the comparable prior period.  The foregoing decreases
 
  <PAGE>
  reflect the Company's ability to spread its general and administrative
  expenses over an expanding revenue base.
 
  The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.6% for the six-month
  period ended September 30, 1998, and 40.5% for the six-month period ended
  September 30, 1997.

  Year 2000
 
  The Company recognizes the potential business impacts related to the Year
  2000 computer system issue and is implementing a plan to assess and improve
  the Company's state of readiness with respect to such issues.  The Year 2000
  issue is one where computer systems may recognize the designation
  "00" as 1900 when it means 2000, resulting in system failure or
  miscalculations.
 
  Commencing in 1997, the Company initiated a comprehensive review of its core
  information technology systems, which the Company is dependent upon for the
  conduct of day to day business operations, in order to determine the
  adequacy of those systems in light of future business requirements.
  Year 2000 readiness was one of a variety of factors to be considered in the
  review of core systems.
 
  In recognition of the Year 2000 issue, in September 1997, the Company began
  a comprehensive review of all information technology and non-information
  technology systems used by the Company, computer hardware and software
  products supplied to broker-dealers by the Company, and computer
  hardware and software products and components and other equipment supplied to
  the Company by third parties.  Such review includes testing and analysis of
  Company systems and inquiries of third parties supplying information
  technology and non-information technology systems, computer
  hardware and software products and components, and other equipment to the
  Company.
 
  The Company has divided its Year 2000 review into two phases.  The first
  addresses the Company's core information technology systems.  The second
  phase addresses non-core information technolog systems, non-information
  technology systems, and products, components and equipment supplied to
  the Company from third parties.  In addition, the Company will implement
  required Year 2000 upgrades and replacements during the second phase.
  The Company substantially completed the first phase of its review in
  June 1998.  The Company believes it will complete the second phase by March
  1999.
 
  In the first phase of its Year 2000 review, the Company tested all software
  products currently provided to broker-dealers, and determined that such
  products are Year 2000 compliant.  The Company also made inquiries of all
  third parties supplying the Company with computer hardware and software
  products and received assurances that such products and components are Year
  2000 compliant.  With respect to core information technology, the Company
  made inquiries of third parties supplying computer hardware and software
  operating systems to the Company, and received assurances that such
  hardware and software systems are Year 2000 compliant.
 
 
  <PAGE>
  The Company 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.
 
  At this time, the Company 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 Company believes such plans are merited by the
  results of its continuing Year 2000 review.  The Company maintains and
  deploys contingency plans designed to address various other potential
  business interruptions.  These plans may be applicable to address the
  interruption of support provided by third parties resulting from
  their failure to be Year 2000 ready.
 
  If the Company or the third parties with which it has relationships were to
  cease or not successfully complete its or their Year 2000 remediation
  efforts, the Company would encounter disruptions to its
  business that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
  position and results of operations.  The Company could be materially and
  adversely impacted by widespread economic or financial market disruption
  or by Year 2000 computer system failures at third parties with which it
  has relationships.
 
  "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
  of 1995
 
  This Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks
  and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the impact of competitive
  products and pricing, product demand and market acceptance risks, the
  presence of competitors with greater financial resources, product
  development and commercialization risks, costs associated with the
  integration and administration of acquired operations, capacity and supply
  constraints or difficulties, the results of financing efforts,
  Year 2000 issues and other risks detailed from time to time in the
  Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  The Company filed its
  fiscal 1998 Form 10K on June 29, 1998.  Please refer to this document
  for a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated
  with the Company's future operations.
 
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
  Under legislation effective on July 20, 1996, the Company is required to
  maintain net capital of at least $500,000; the Company's net capital
  was $1,895,673 on September 30, 1998.  The legislation also requires that
  the Company's net capital meet certain liquidity requirements.
  Specifically, $166,666, $333,332 and $500,000 of such net capital must
  meet the Department's liquidity requirements by December 31, 1997, December
  31, 1998, and December 31, 1999, respectively.  At September 30, 1998,
  $173,074 of the Company's net capital met the Department's liquidity
  requirements.  The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy the
  foregoing liquidity requirements from cash on hand and other assets of the
  Company.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $128,717 for the
  period ended September 30, 1998.  The Company also believes that
  it will be able to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure
  requirements for the foreseeable future from existing cash balances, from
  anticipated cash flow from operating activities, and from funds available
  under the Company's Master Note with its former parent, Church Loans and
  Investments Trust.
  <PAGE>
  The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased from $28,475 on March 31,
  1998, to $11,529 on September 30, 1998, while the note receivable
  increased from $389,489 on March 31, 1998, to $404,576 on September 30,
  1998.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to
  the purchase of additional furniture, equipment and computer hardware.
  The increase in the not receivable was due to the reinvestment of interest
  earned on the note receivable.  The Company's gross property and equipment
  increased from $1,008,938 on March 31, 1998, to $1,089,720 on
  September 30, 1998.  The increase was primarily due to the purchase of
  additional furniture, equipment and computer software for new employees.
