     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  
                                     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 Annual Report on Form
         10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1998.
        
         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 stock.

    Note Receivable
   
         On December 1, 1990, the Company
         entered into a Master Note and Letter
         Agreement with Church Loans and Investment
         Trust, Inc., its former parent corporation.
          The Master Note, in the maximum
         amount of $1,000,000, is due on demand,
         bears interest payable monthly at 1% less
         than the prime rate and is unsecured.
          Amounts advanced from time to time may
         be prepaid and reborrowed.
        
    Lease Commitments
   
         The Company was party to an office
          lease for commercial office space
         formerly occupied by Camelback as
          its executive office.  This office lease
         terminated on February 14, 1998. 
         During the nine-month period ended
          December 31, 1998, the Company no
         longer leased office space.

    Item 2.  Management's Discussion
    and Analysis or Plan of Operation
   
    Results of Operations   Three-month Periods
    Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
   
    The Company reported an increase in net earnings
    for the three-month period ended December 31,
    1998, compared to the comparable prior period. 
    The Company had net earnings of $118,734, or
    $.15 per share, for the three-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to net earnings of
    $52,305, or $.07 per share, for the three-month
     period ended December 31, 1997, an increase
     of 127%.  The Company had total revenue
    of $800,077 for the three-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to total revenue
    of $566,777 for the three-month period ended
    December 31, 1997, an increase of 41%.
    <PAGE>
   
    The Company's bond servicing income increased
     to $526,431 for the three-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to $394,331
    for the three-month period ended December
    31, 1997, an increase of 33%.  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
    December 31, 1998, the Company was
    serving as trustee for the benefit of bondholders
    on 434 bond offerings totaling approximately
    $365,736,000 in original principal amount; as
    of December 31, 1997, the Company was serving
     as trustee for the benefit of bondholders
    on 400 bond offerings totaling approximately
    $313,200,000 in original principal amount. The
     increase in new bond offerings is due to the new
    business development efforts of the Company.
   
    Income from IRA Accounts increased to
    $152,778 for the three-month period
    ended December 31, 1998, compared to
     $88,617 for the three-month period
    ended December 31, 1997, an increase
    of 72%.  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 December 31, 1998, the Company served
    as trustee for approximately 7,950 self-directed
    Individual Retirement Accounts with total
     assets of approximately $153,658,000; as
    of December 31, 1997, the Company
    served as trustees for approximately 6,300
    self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts
    with total assets of approximately $138,000,000.
   
    Trust fee income increased to $107,544
     for the three-month period ended December
     31, 1998, compared to $73,427 for the
    three-month period ended December 31,
     1997, an increase of 46%.  The increase
     was due to an increase in the number
     of accounts for which the Company serves as
     trustee or agent.
    <PAGE>
   
    Interest income increased to $13,324 for
    the three-month period ended December 31,
    1998, compared to $10,402 for the three-month
     period ended December 31, 1997, an increase
     of 28%.  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 $599,796 for the
     three-month period ended December 31, 1998,
     compared to $477,580 for the three-month
    period ended December 31, 1997, an increase
     of 26%.  The increase was due primarily to
     the addition of several staff members,
    as well as other additional expenses involved
     in administering the Company's growing 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 75% for the
    three-month period December 31, 1998,
    compared to 84% for the comparable
    prior period.  The foregoing decrease reflects
    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
    December 31, 1998, and 41.4% for the three-month
    period ended December 31, 1997.
   
   
    Results of Operations   Nine-month Periods
     Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
   
    The Company reported an increase in net
     earnings for the nine-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to the
    comparable prior period.  The Company had net
     earnings of $306,291, or $.39 per share, for the
    nine-month period ended December 31, 1998,
    compared to net earnings of $155,233, or
    $.20 per share, for the nine-month period ended
    December 31, 1997, an increase of 97%.  The
     Company had total revenue of $2,227,314 for
    the nine-month period ended December 31,
    1998, compared to total revenue of $1,732,207
    for the nine-month period ended December 31,
    1997, an increase of 29%.
    <PAGE>
    The Company's bond servicing income increased
    to $1,464,810 for the nine-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to $1,178,853
    for the nine-month period ended December
     31, 1997, an increase of 24%.  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
     $402,025 for the nine-month period ended
    December 31, 1998, compared to $317,209
     for the nine-month period ended December
    31, 1997, an increase of 27%.  The increase
     was due primarily to an increase in the number
     of IRA Accounts serviced by the Company.
   
    Trust fee income increased to $323,720 for
     the nine-month period ended December 31,
    1998, compared to $206,670 for the nine-month
     period ended December 31, 1997, an increase
    of 57%.  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 $36,759 for the
     nine-month period ended December 31, 1998,
    compared to $29,475 for the nine-month period
    ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 25%. 
    <PAGE>
    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 $1,711,283 for
    the nine-month period ended December 31,
    1998, compared to $1,470,005 for the nine-month
    period ended December 31, 1997, an increase
     of 16%.  The increase was due primarily to
     the addition of several staff members, as
    well as other additional expenses involved
    in administering the Company's growing bond
    servicing, IRA and personal trust business. 
    For the nine-month period ended December
    31, 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 77% for the nine-month period
    ended December 31, 1998, compared to 85%
     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
    40.6% for the nine-month period ended
     December 31, 1998, and 40.8% for the nine-month
    period ended December 31, 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.
    <PAGE>
   
    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 technology 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 anticipates completing 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 were 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 were 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.  The Company does not
     believe expenditures to be Year 2000
    compliant will be material, and is expensing
    all costs associated with the Year 2000
    remediation plan.  However, there can be
    no assurance that the ultimate cost to identify
     and implement solutions to all Year 2000
    problems will not be material to the Company.
   
    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 $2,047,373 on December
    31, 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 December 31, 1998, $333,545 of the
     Company's net capital met the
    <PAGE>
    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 $361,286 for the nine-month
    period ended December 31, 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.
   
    The Company's cash and cash equivalents
     increased from $28,475 on March 31,
    1998, to $82,133 on December 31, 1998,
    while the note receivable increased from $389,489
    on March 31, 1998, to $412,095 on
    December 31, 1998.  The increase in cash
    and cash equivalents was primarily due to
    the results of operations.  The increase in
    the note receivable was due to the reinvestment
     of interest earned on the note receivable.  The
     Company's net property and equipment
    ncreased from $712,482 on March 31, 1998, to
    $758,599 on December 31, 1998.  The increase
    was primarily due to the purchase of additional
    furniture, equipment and computer software for
     new employees.  The Company believes
    that capital expenditure requirements for the
     foreseeable future will be covered by excess cash
    low from operations.
