AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY 

NOTE TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with the instructions for interim statements and, therefore, do 
not include all information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation 
of results of operations, financial position, and changes in cash flow in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in the 
opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include 
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the 
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period 
presented.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996, are not indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the 
full year ending December 31, 1996.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read 
in conjunction with its December 31, 1995, audited financial statements 
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-QSB, as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Note 2. Subsequent Event

On or about April 15, 1996, the Company commenced active business operations 
after it surpassed the "Minimum Amount" in its "best-efforts, minimum/maximum" 
public offering of its common stock.  Since April 15, 1996 and as of September 
30, 1996 the Company has funded six first mortgage loans to churches in the 
aggregate principal amount of $2,070,288 and purchased $100,000 principal 
amount of mortgage secured church bonds for $72,805.

	AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY

	 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
	CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation

	The Company was founded in May 1994, began a "best efforts" offering 
of its common stock on July 11, 1995, and commenced active business operations 
on approximately April 15, 1996 after completion of the "Minimum Amount" in 
its public offering (described below).  Consequently, for the years ended 
December 31, 1994 and 1995, the Company had no operating revenues.      
	
	On July 11, 1995, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared 
effective the Company's offering of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of 
$10.00 per share.  The Company achieved the Minimum Offering of at least 
200,000 shares ($2,000,000) sold to not less than 100 individuals (the 
"Minimum Offering") on April 15, 1996.  As of such date the Company has sold 
272,000 shares to approximately 240 individuals, not including 20,000 shares
($200,000) previously purchased by the Company's initial stockholder DRM 
Holdings, Inc.  Until the Minimum Offering was achieved, the Company could not 
commence its active business of making mortgage loans to churches.  
Consequently, business operations from Inception (May 27, 1994) to completion 
of the Minimum Offering (April 15, 1996) were limited to daily business 
organizational efforts, activities relating to the offering, reviewing 
potential candidates for church mortgage loans to be made by the Company once 
the Minimum Offering was achieved, and conducting informational meetings with 
brokers and broker-dealers identified to the Company by the Underwriter--
American Investors Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Company.  

	Between the date upon which the Company began active business 
operations (April 15, 1996), and the end of the its last fiscal quarter 
(September 30, 1996), it funded six first mortgage loans to churches, in the 
aggregate principal amount of $2,070,288 and purchased $100,000 principal 
amount of church-issued, mortgage-secured bonds for an aggregate purchase 
price of $72,805.   Funding of additional first mortgage loans is expected 
to continue on an on-going basis as the Company's investable assets become 
available through (I) the sale of additional shares in the public offering;
(ii) prepayment and repayment at maturity of existing loans; (iv) borrowed 
funds; and (v) dividends reinvested under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment 
Plan.   The "best efforts" public offering of the Company's shares is expected 
to continue through November 8, 1996, however, there can be no assurance that 
a meaningful number of the remaining shares being offered will be sold.  As of 
September 30, 1996, a total of 292,606 shares of the Company's common stock 
were issued and outstanding held by approximately 241 investors. The Company 
and the Dealer Manager (American Investors Group, Inc.) may discontinue the 
public offering at any time.

Results of Operations

	The Company's business is to extend mortgage loans to churches and 
other non-profit religious organizations and to purchase for investment 
mortgage secured bonds issued by churches and other non-profit religious 
organizations, and to operate as a real estate investment trust for tax 
purposes by distributing at least 95% of taxable income to shareholders in 
the form of dividends.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had funded six 
first mortgage loans to churches for an aggregate amount of $2,070,288 and 
purchased $100,000 principal amount of church-issued mortgage-secured bonds 
for a purchase price of $72,805.  The loans made by the Company range in 
interest rate charged to the borrowers from 9.25% for annually adjustable, 20 
year amortized loans, to 11.25% for 15 year fixed interest rate loans.  As of 
September  30, 1996, the average, principal-adjusted interest rate on the 
Company's portfolio of loans was 10.76%.  The Company's portfolio of bonds has 
a current yield of 11.68% and a yield to maturity of 16.78%.  
	
	Net income for the Company's fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996, 
reflecting 90 days of operations, was $49,063 on total revenues of $59,369. 
Net Income for the Company's nine month period ending September 30, 1996 was 
$69,855 on total revenues of $129,713.   Interest income earned on the 
Company's portfolio of loans for the three month period and nine month periods 
ending September 30, 1996 were $57,756 and $125,073 respectively.

<PAGE>
Excluded from revenue for the nine month period ending September 30, 1996 is 
$38,415  of origination income, or "points," received by the Company, 
recognition of which under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 
must be deferred over the expected life of each loan.  However, under tax 
principles, origination income is recognized in the period received.  
Accordingly, because the status of the Company as a real estate investment 
trust requires, among other things, the distribution to shareholders of at 
least 95% of "Taxable Income," the dividend declared and to be paid to 
shareholders for the quarter ending September 30, 1996 includes origination 
income even though it is not recognized in its entirety for the period under 
GAAP.

	The Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.23125 for 
each share held of record on September 30, 1996 for the fiscal quarter ending 
September 30, 1996.  During the Company's public offering, dividends are 
computed and paid to each shareholder based on the number of days during a 
quarter that the shareholder owned his or her shares.  Based on the 90 day 
quarter of operations, the Company's dividend represents a 9.25% annualized 
yield to its shareholders.

	Total assets of the Company increased from $243,648 as of December 31, 
1995 to $2,722,809 as of September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the sale 
and issuance of the Company's common stock pursuant to its public offering. 
Shareholders' Equity rose from $194,155 to $2,621,028 for the same reason.  
Company liabilities at the end of the September 30, 1996 quarter are primarily 
comprised of a "Deferred Income" item, reflecting the practice of the Company 
of recognizing its origination income -- fees charged to borrowers at the 
commencement of its loans -- over the life of each loan and dividends declared 
and payable as of September 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had funded first mortgage loans to six 
churches in the aggregate principal amount of $2,070,288.   As additional 
shares of the Company's common stock are sold in the public offering, the 
Company intends to fund future first mortgage loans.  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will sell any meaningful 
number of the remaining shares in the public offering.  The offering period 
for the public offering expires on or about November 8, 1996, and the offering 
could be discontinued at any time prior thereto at the option of the Company 
and the Dealer Manager.

	On March 31, 1996, the Company had no assets other than the $200,000 
cash paid by its promoter for the 20,000 shares owned by it ($10.00 per share) 
and had incurred no material obligations, other than accumulated and unpaid 
expenses pertaining to the public offering.  The initial $200,000 capital 
contribution by the promoter has been partially used to pay legal and 
accounting costs relating to the organization of the Company, Independent 
Director's fees and certain professional and other fees and costs associated 
with the public offering.  Subsequent to March 31, 1996, on or about April 15, 
1996, the Company recorded additional paid-in capital of $2,019,205 in 
connection with the sale of Company's stock in the public offering.

	The Company anticipates that its revenue will be derived principally 
from interest income, and secondarily, origination fees generated by 
mortgage loans that it has made.  The Company will also earn income through 
interest on funds that are invested pending their use in funding mortgage 
loans or distributions of dividends to its shareholders, and on income 
generated on church bonds it may purchase and own.  
	
	The Company began generating operating revenues shortly after 
completion of the Minimum Offering on April 15, 1996, through (I) permitted 
temporary investments of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares, and 
(ii) implementation of its business plan of making mortgage loans to churches. 
The principal expenses of the Company will be Advisory Fees, legal and 
accounting fees, director fees, costs associated with its communications with 
shareholders, and the expenses of its stock transfer agent, registrar and 
dividend reinvestment agent.  Personnel, office space and other administrative 
expenses are absorbed by the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

	The public offering of up to 2,000,000 shares ($20,000,000) of the 
Company's common stock is expected to continue on a "best efforts" basis up 
to November 8, 1996.  However, there can be no assurance that any meaningful 
number of additional shares will actually be sold.  After the initial offer 
and sale of shares in its public offering, the Company's capital needs are 
expected to be met in the future by (I) additional sales of its common stock); 
(ii) prepayment, repayment at maturity and renewal of mortgage loans made by 
the Company; (iii) borrowed funds, and (iv) the receipt of additional paid-in 
capital through the reinvestment of dividends by shareholders pursuant to the 
Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  The Company believes that the "rolling" 
effect of mortgage loans maturing, together with dividends reinvested under 
the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, will provide an on-going source

of capital to fund its business operations for the foreseeable future.  
Nevertheless, the Company believes that it may be desirable, if not 
necessary, to sell additional shares of common stock, in order to enhance its 
capacity to make mortgage loans on a continuous basis and to maximize the 
Company's earnings.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able 
to raise additional capital on terms acceptable for such purposes.  Although 
the Company may borrow funds in an amount not to exceed 50% of its Average 
Invested Assets in order to increase its lending capacity, it has not secured 
a source for such borrowing.
