NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in
conjunction with its December 31, 1997, audited financial statements included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Nature of Business
American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota corporation, was incorporated on
May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage in the business of making
mortgage loans to churches an other nonprofit religious organizations throughout
the United States, on terms that it establishes for individual organizations.
Accounting Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues
and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains
some cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured
limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for its debt securities under Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."
The Company classifies its marketable debt securities as "held-to-maturity"
because it has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost.
Allowance for Loans Receivable
The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for loans receivable.
However, at March 31, 1998, management believes the loans receivable to be
collectible in all material respects, and therefore, no allowances is presently
provided.
Organizational Expenses
Organizational expenses are stated at cost and are amortized using the
straight-line method over five years.
Deferred Income
Deferred income represents loan origination fees which are recognized over the
life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.

<PAGE>
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related primarily to differences in recognition of income from loan origination
fees for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred taxes are recognized for
operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).
Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent
of distributions to its shareholders if the Company meets all the requirements
under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Income Per Common Share
No adjustments were made to income in either year for the purpose of calculating
earnings per share. Stock options were not included in computing earnings per
share because their effects were antidilutive.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" was approved for issuance. The Company has adopted this
Statement in fiscal 1998. The effect of this Statement has not been determined,
however, the impact on the Company's financial position and results of
operations is not expected to be material.
2. MORTGAGE AND BONDS RECEIVABLE
At March 31, 1998, the Company had sixteen loans receivable totaling $5,482,429.
The loans bear interest ranging from 9.25% to 12.00%. The maturity schedule for
those loans as of March 31, 1998 is as follows:

2001 159,594
2002 178,269
Thereafter 4,687,154
---------
Total $5,482,429
</TABLE>
The Company also has five bonds receivable, which are carried at cost plus
amortized interest income. The bonds pay either quarterly or semi-annual
interest ranging from 7.75% to 10.70%. The combined principal of $157,000 is due
at various maturity dates between June 1, 1999 and January 25, 2012.
3. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has adopted a Stock Option Plan granting each member of the Board of
Directors and the president of the Advisor (Note 4) an option to purchase 3,000
shares of common stock annually upon their re-election. The purchase price of
the stock will be the fair market value at the grant date. On November 15, 1994,
the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 21,000 shares of common
stock at $10 per share. These options became exercisable November 15, 1995 and
expire November 15, 1999. No options have been exercised as of March 31, 1998.
8
<PAGE>
The Company has chosen to account for stock based compensation in accordance
with APB Opinion 25. Management believes that the disclosure requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 are not material to its
financial statements.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company has an Advisory Agreement with Church Loan Advisors, Inc. (Advisor).
The Advisor is responsible for the day-to- day operations of the Company and
provides administrative services and personnel.
Upon non-renewal or termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Company is
required to pay the Advisor a termination fee equal to two percent of the value
of the average invested assets of the Company as of the date of termination,
subject to limitations set forth in the Advisory Agreement.
The Company pays the Advisor an annual base management fee of 1.25 percent of
average invested assets (generally defined as the average of the aggregate book
value of the assets invested in securities and equity interests in and loans
secured by real estate), which is payable on a monthly basis. The Advisor will
also receive one-half of the origination fees paid by a mortgage loan borrower
in connection with a mortgage loan made or renewed by the Company. The Company
paid advisory and origination fees from January 1 through March 31, 1998 of
$26,030.
The Advisor and the Company are related through common ownership and common
management. See Note 5.
5. PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK
The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for a public offering of its common stock in 1997. The Company
offered to sell 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per
share. The offering was underwritten by a managing underwriter (an affiliate of
the Advisor) and a co-underwriter on a "best efforts basis, and no minimum sale
of stock was required. The stock sale commenced on September 26, 1997 and will
continue through January of 1999.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, none of which
are held for trading purposes, are as follows at March 31, 1998 and 1997:
<TABLE>

risks associated with similar types of loans.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY
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
April 15, 1996 after completion of the "Minimum Amount" in its initial public
offering (described below). Consequently, for the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1995, the Company had no operating revenues, and expenses were limited to
organizational and offering-related costs.
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. 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 Dealer/Manager--American, an affiliate of the Company. The
Company concluded its initial public offering on November 8, 1996. As of such
date the Company had sold 335,481 shares to approximately 281 individuals, not
including 20,000 shares ($200,000) previously purchased by the Company's initial
shareholder -- DRM Holdings, Inc.
On September 26, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective the Company's secondary offering of 1,500,000 common shares at a price
of $10.00 per share ($15,000,000) under SEC File 33-87570. The Offering is
currently being co-underwritten by American Investors Group, Inc.("American")
and LaSalle St. Securities, Inc., ("LaSalle"). American is the Managing
Underwriter and is an affiliate of the Company. This Offering is being conducted
on a"best-efforts" basis pursuant to applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and will terminate no later than 365 days from September 26,
1997, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the Company and the Managing
Underwriter for an additional 120 days, or until completion of the sale of all
Shares, whichever fist occurs. The Company reserves the right to terminate this
Offering at any time. As of March 31, 1998 the Company has sold 316,804 shares
of its common stock.
Between the date upon which the Company began active business
operations (April 15, 1996), and as of the date of this Report, the Company has
made loans to sixteen churches in the aggregate amount of $5,482,429, with the
average size being $342,652. The Company has also purchased in the secondary
market for $51,622 (which includes $407 in accrued interest) First Mortgage
Church Bonds in the face amount of $57,000 and $72,805 Second Mortgage Church
Bonds in the face amount of $100,000. 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 its current 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.
Results of Operations
During the three month period ended March 31, 1998 total assets of the
Company increased by $1,364,994 due primarily to sale of the Company's common
stock. Total liabilities increased by $255,297 due to deferred income and
dividends declared but not yet paid as of March 31, 1998. During the three month
period ending March 31, 1998 the Company funded one additional first mortgage
loan and one second mortgage loan to churches for an aggregate amount of
$245,000 and $350,000 respectively. In addition, the Company purchased $5,000
principal amount of First Mortgage Church Bonds for a purchase price of $4,750.
All loans made by the Company range in interest rate charged to the borrowers
from 9.75% for annually adjustable, 20 year amortized loans, 11.25% for fixed 15
year amortized loans to 12.00% for a 2-year interim loan. As of March 31, 1998,
the average, principal-adjusted interest rate on the Company's portfolio of
loans was 11.18%. The Company's portfolio of bonds has an average current yield
of 12.26% .
Net operating income for the Company's three month period ended March
31, 1998 was $127,478 on total revenues of $145,640. Interest income earned on
the Company's portfolio of loans was $131,755. Excluded from revenue for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 is $11,715 of origination income, or
"points," received by the Company, recognition of
10
<PAGE>
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 dividends
declared and paid to Shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 included
origination income even though it is not recognized in its entirety for the
period under GAAP.
The Company's Board of Directors declared dividends of $.23125 for each
share held of record on March 31, 1998. 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. The dividend,
which was paid April 30, 1998 represents a 9.25% annual rate of return on each
share of common stock owned and purchased for $10 per share.
Total assets of the Company for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 increased $1,364,994 to $6,728,390 primarily as a result of the sale and
issuance of the Company's common stock pursuant to its current public offering,
the proceeds of which were deployed into two new mortgage loans, church bonds
purchased in the secondary market, and cash and cash equivalent money market
obligations. Shareholders' Equity rose $1,252.440 to $6,394,019 for the same
reason. Company liabilities at the end of the three month period ended March 31,
1998 are primarily comprised of a "Deferred Income", 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 as of March 31, 1998 but not yet paid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's revenue is derived principally from interest income, and
secondarily, origination fees and renewal fees generated by mortgage loans made
by it. The Company also earns 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 generates revenue 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 and other non-profit
religious organizations. The principal expenses of the Company will be Advisory
Fees, legal and accounting fees, communications costs with its Shareholders, and
the expenses of its stock transfer agent, registrar and dividend reinvestment
agent.
The Company's future capital needs are expected to be met by (i)
additional sale of its shares to the public (ii) prepayment, repayment at
maturity and renewal of mortgage loans made by the Company, and (iii) borrowed
funds. The Company believes that the "rolling" effect of mortgage loans
maturing, together with dividends reinvested under the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment Plan, will provide a supplemental source of capital to fund its
business operations in future years. 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.
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 no present intention of doing so, nor has
it secured a source for such borrowing.
