disclosures necessary for 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 fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows for the period presented.
The unaudited financial statements of the Company
should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2011 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2011. Operating results for
the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.
Nature of Business
American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota
corporation, was incorporated on May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage primarily in the business of making mortgage
loans to churches and other nonprofit religious organizations throughout the United States, on terms established for individual
organizations.
Accounting Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in
preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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. The most sensitive estimates
relate to the realizability of the mortgage loans receivable, the valuation of the bond portfolio and real estate held for sale.
It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any,
may be material to the financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's loans have been granted to churches and other non-profit
religious organizations. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent on member contributions
and the involvement in the church or organization of its senior pastor.

Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains accounts primarily at
two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and equivalents balances may exceed amounts
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash in money market funds is not federally insured. The Company had approximately
$159,000 and $0 in money market fund accounts at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts.
Bond Portfolio
The Company accounts for the bond portfolio
under the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320. The Company classifies the bond portfolio as “available-for-sale”
and measures the portfolio at fair value. While the bonds are generally held until contractual maturity, the Company classifies
them as available-for-sale as the bonds may be used to repay secured investor certificates or provide additional liquidity or working
capital in the short term. The Company has classified $981,000 and $873,000 in bonds as current assets as of March 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, respectively, based on management’s estimates for liquidity requirements and contractual maturities of
certain bonds maturing in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable
The Company records mortgage loans receivable
at estimated net realizable value, which is the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans receivable, less the allowance
for mortgage loans. The Company’s loan loss policy provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible loans based on an evaluation
of the current status of the loan portfolio. This policy reserves for principal amounts outstanding on a particular loan if cumulative
interruptions occur in the normal payment schedule of a loan; therefore, the Company recognizes a provision for losses and an allowance
for the outstanding principal amount of a loan in the Company’s portfolio if the amount is in doubt of collection. Additionally,
no additional interest income is recognized on impaired loans that are declared to be in default and are in the foreclosure process.
At March 31, 2012, the Company reserved $583,712 for thirteen mortgage loans, of which six are three or more mortgage payments
in arrears. At December 31, 2011, the Company reserved $812,809 for fifteen mortgage loans, of which eight were three or more mortgage
payments in arrears. One of the loans was in the foreclosure process.

The total impaired loans, which are loans that
are in the foreclosure process or are declared to be in default, were approximately $946,000 and $1,563,000 at March 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, respectively, which the Company believes are adequately secured by the underlying collateral and the allowance
for mortgage loans.
Loans totaling approximately $3,391,000 and
$3,137,000 exceeded 90 days past due but continued to accrue interest as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The Company believes that continued interest accruals are appropriate because the loans are well secured, not deemed to be in default
and the Company is actively pursuing collection of past due payments.
Real Estate Held for Sale
The Company records real estate held for sale
at the estimated fair value, which is net of the expected expenses related to the sale of the real estate.
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests long-lived assets or asset
groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances
which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant
adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally
expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history
of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will
more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of the estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying
amount of the asset compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal
of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An allowance for losses is recognized when the carrying amount
is deemed not recoverable and exceeds fair value as determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited
to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third party independent appraisals.

Revenue Recognition
Interest income on mortgage loans receivable
and the bond portfolio is recognized as earned. Other income included with interest represents cash received for loan origination
fees, which are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company defers the costs related to obtaining
financing. These costs are amortized over the life of the financing using the straight line method, which approximates the effective
interest method.
Income Per Common Share
No adjustments were made to income for the
purpose of calculating earnings per share, as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures certain financial instruments
at fair value in our balance sheets. The fair value of these instruments is based on valuations that include inputs that can be
classified within one of the three levels of a hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical
assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level
2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other
observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no
market data.
Except for the bond portfolio, which is required
by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Balance Sheets, the Company elected not to record any
other financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. We recorded additional provisions for losses on our St.
Agnes and Agape bonds (Note 3), which totaled $0 and $300,000 for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Total allowance for losses on our bond portfolio equaled $1,000,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Real estate held for sale and impaired loans
are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of real estate held for sale was based upon the listed sales
price less expected selling costs, which is a Level 2 input. There were no provisions for losses on real estate held for sale for
the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The fair value of impaired loans was based upon the Company’s loan loss policy,
which is Level 3 input. The Company reserved an additional provision of $5,459 and $45,563 for loan losses at March 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively.

8.57% at March 31, 2012. The Company had mortgage loans receivable totaling $29,870,023 that bore interest ranging from 1.00% to
10.25% with a weighted average of approximately 8.40% at December 31, 2011.
The Company has a portfolio of secured church
bonds at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which are carried at fair value. The bonds pay either semi-annual or quarterly interest
ranging from 5.25% to 10.40%. The aggregate value of secured church bonds equaled approximately $10,982,000 at March 31, 2012 with
a weighted average interest rate of 7.09% and approximately $10,997,000 at December 31, 2011 with a weighted average interest rate

The Company currently owns $2,035,000 First
Mortgage Bonds issued by St. Agnes Missionary Baptist Church located in Houston, Texas. The total principal amount of First Mortgage
Bonds issued by St. Agnes is $13,375,000. St. Agnes defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in June 2007. The church
subsequently commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the three properties that secure the First Mortgage
Bonds in November 2007, which was dismissed in September 2008, and the church was subsequently foreclosed upon. The Company, along
with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. No accrual for interest receivable from the First Mortgage
Bonds is recorded by the Company. The Company has an aggregate allowance for losses of $800,000 for the First Mortgage Bonds at
March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes
will be recovered. In March 2009, a lease was signed with St. Agnes to permit it to remain in the property while submitting lease
payments to bondholders as partial interest payments. Lease payments began in the second quarter of 2009, however St. Agnes failed
to make all required lease payments and was evicted from the property in the first quarter of 2010. The trustee has sold one of
the properties. The trustee has not provided details of the sale to bondholders as of March 31, 2012.
The Company currently owns $637,000 First Mortgage
Bonds and $497,000 Second Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church located in Orlando, Florida. The total principal
amount of First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape is $7,200,000, and the total principal amount of Second Mortgage Bonds issued is
$715,000. Agape defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in September 2010. The church subsequently commenced a Chapter
11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the property that secures the First Mortgage Bonds in December 2010. Agape is
currently performing under a loan modification agreement. The trustee is collecting weekly sinking fund payments from the Church,
however this has not yet resulted in any disbursements to bondholders as of March 31, 2012. If the Church continues to make its
re-scheduled weekly payments, the trustee believes it will be able to resume the quarterly distribution of interest to bondholders
in the second quarter of 2012. The Company, along with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. The
Company has an aggregate allowance for losses of $200,000 for the First and Second
AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY

Mortgage Bonds at March 31, 2012 and December
31, 2011, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes will be recovered.
4. SECURED INVESTOR CERTIFICATES
Secured investor certificates are collateralized
by certain mortgage loans receivable or secured church bonds of approximately the same value as the certificates. The weighted
average interest rate on the certificates was 6.65% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Holders of the secured
investor certificates may renew certificates at the current rates and terms upon maturity at the Company’s discretion. Renewals
upon maturity are considered neither proceeds from nor issuance of secured investor certificates. Renewals totaled approximately
$46,000 and $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The secured investor certificates have certain
financial and non-financial covenants indentified in the respective series’ trust indentures.
The estimated maturity schedule for the secured
investor certificates at March 31, 2012 is as follows:

In October 2008, the Company filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer $20,000,000 worth of Series C secured investor certificates. The
offering was declared effective by the SEC on March 30, 2009 and was amended in January 2010. The offering concluded March 31,
2012. The certificates were being offered in multiples of $1,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 7.25%, subject to changing
market rates, and maturities from 4 to 7 and 13 to 20 years. The certificates are collateralized by certain mortgage loans receivable
and church bonds of approximately the same value. At March 31, 2012, approximately 7,932 Series C certificates had been issued
and were outstanding for $7,932,000, of which 2,586 Series C certificates were issued through its stock repurchase program (see
Note 5).
5. STOCK EXCHANGE AND REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
The Company commenced a stock exchange program
effective February 2, 2010 whereby it offered to shareholders on an ongoing basis (until terminated or modified by the Board of
Directors) an exchange of one $1,000 principal amount Series C secured investor certificate for 200 shares of common stock of the
Company, and, with respect to odd-lot holders above 200 shares converted into certificates, the sum of $5.00 cash for each remaining
share. This exchange ratio was determined by management and approved by the Board of Directors, and was established as a basis
for the completion of the exchange offer. This ratio was not intended to represent the amount at which the Company or any other
party
AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited
March 31, 2012
would be expected to purchase common stock in an arm’s-length transaction. The Company’s Board of Directors approved
up to 1,000,000 shares to be repurchased. As of March 31, 2012, requests representing approximately 532,743 shares have been submitted
for share exchanges. The Company did not exchange any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company exchanged
528,974 shares during the year ended December 31, 2011 for 2,586 Series C certificates ($2,586,000 in principal amount) and paid
$76,870 in cash for remainder shares. The program was terminated by the Board of Directors on April 12, 2012 since the Company
terminated the Series C secured investor certificate offering. (See Note 4).
The Company commenced a share repurchase plan
on July 19, 2011 whereby it offers to shareholders on an ongoing, first-come, first-served basis (until terminated or modified
by the Board of Directors) the repurchase of an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. Shares may
be purchased at the sole discretion of the Company, subject to the funds available after meeting Company obligations. Shareholders
must present for repurchase either: (i) a minimum of 500 Shares, or (ii) the total number of Shares registered in such Shareholder’s
name. The Company repurchased 10,162 shares for $40,649 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011,
the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 160,927 shares for $643,229 in cash under the program. The Program may be modified
or rescinded at the Board’s discretion upon 10 days’ notice to shareholders.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company has an Advisory Agreement with
Church Loan Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). The Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company
and provides office space and administrative services. The Advisor and the Company are related through common ownership and common
management. A majority of the independent board members approve the advisory agreement on an annual basis. The Company paid the
Advisor management fees of approximately $99,000 and $102,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is required to disclose the fair
value information about financial instruments, where it is practicable to estimate that value. Because assumptions used in these
valuation techniques are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot always be substantiated by comparison
to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale
or settlement of the instrument.
The fair value estimates presented herein are
based on relevant information available to management as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Management is not
aware of any factors that would significantly affect these estimated fair value amounts. As these reporting requirements exclude
certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent
management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were
used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
Cash and equivalents
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts receivable
The carrying amount of accounts receivable
approximates fair value.
Interest receivable
The carrying amount of interest receivable
approximates fair value.
Mortgage loans receivable
The fair value of the mortgage loans receivable
is currently more than the carrying value as the portfolio is currently yielding a higher rate than similar mortgages with similar
terms for borrowers with similar credit quality. The credit markets in which we conduct business have experienced a decrease in
interest rates resulting in the fair value of the mortgage loans falling during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Bond portfolio
We determine the fair value of the bond portfolio
shown in the table above by comparing with similar instruments in inactive markets. The analysis reflects the contractual terms
of the bonds, which are callable at par by the issuer at any time, and the anticipated cash flows of the bonds and uses
AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY

observable
and unobservable market-based inputs. Unobservable inputs include our internal credit rating and selection of similar bonds for
valuation.
Secured investor certificates
The fair value of the secured investor certificates
is currently greater than the carrying value due to higher interest rates than current market rates.

Plan of Operation
We were founded in May 1994 and commenced active
business operations on April 15, 1996 after the completion of our initial public offering.
We have completed public offerings of common
stock and debt securities. In October 2008, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a
public offering of $20,000,000 worth of Series C Secured Investor Certificates, was offered in multiples of $1,000 at interest
rates ranging from 4.50% to 7.25%, subject to changing market rates, and maturities from 4 to 7 and 13 to 20 years. The offering
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2010 and amended in January 2010. The offering concluded
March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, approximately 7,932 Series C certificates had been issued and were outstanding for $7,932,000
of which 2,586 Series C certificates were issued in connection with its stock repurchase program.
We currently have sixty-eight first mortgage
loans aggregating $29,064,086 in principal amount, two second mortgage loans totaling $64,815 in principal amount and a first mortgage
bond portfolio with par values aggregating $10,982,012. Funding of additional first mortgage loans and purchase of first mortgage
bonds issued by churches is expected to continue on an on-going basis as more investable assets become available through: (i) future
sales of securities; (ii) prepayment and repayment at maturity of existing loans and bonds; and (iii) borrowed funds. These capital
sources and interest received on loans and bonds provide general working capital to the Company.
Results of Operations
Net income for the Company’s three months
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $125,000 and $108,000, respectively, on total interest and other income of approximately
$776,000 and $778,000, respectively. Interest and other income is comprised of interest from loans, interest from bonds, amortization
of bond discounts and amortization of loan origination fees. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s loans receivable have interest
rates ranging from 1.00% to 10.25%, with an average, principal-adjusted interest rate of 8.57%. The Company’s bond portfolio
has an average current yield of
7.09% as of March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2011, the average, principal-adjusted interest rate
on the Company’s portfolio of loans was 8.36% and the Company’s portfolio of bonds had an average current yield of
7.90%. The decrease in interest income was due to the scheduled repayment of mortgage loans and the maturation and sale of some
of the bonds in our portfolio.
Interest expense was approximately $461,000
and $455,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to the
issuance of additional secured investor certificates. Net interest margin decreased from 42.23% to 40.62% resulting primarily from
a decline in interest and other income of approximately 1.56% compared to an increase in interest expense of approximately 1.18%.
We continually assess our
loan portfolio and reserve for potential losses based on the payment history, status of loans, and market conditions. Due to changing
economic conditions and the current status of and trends in our loan portfolio, which saw a significant rise in both past due loans
and loans in the foreclosure process, we made changes to our loan loss policy in fiscal 2010 to permit us to accelerate the recording
of provisions when amounts become past due. These changes to our loan loss policy have increased the amount of reserves against
potential loan losses and our expense of past due amounts that are deemed doubtful of collection.
Allowance for losses on mortgage loans receivable
increased during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as we recorded additional provisions against the mortgage loans. We recorded
an additional provision for losses on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012 of approximately $5,500 compared to approximately
$46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, we reserved approximately $584,000 for thirteen mortgage
loans, of which eight are three or more mortgage payments in arrears. At December 31, 2011, we reserved approximately $813,000
for sixteen mortgage loans, of which eight were three or more mortgage payments in arrears and one was in the foreclosure process.
This reduction from sixteen mortgage loans to thirteen mortgage loans was a result of one loan where the foreclosure process was
completed and we currently own the property. Two loans were restructured and have been performing for over twelve months and we
no longer are carrying a provision for these two loans.
Our lending practices limit
deployment of our capital to churches and other non-profit religious organizations. The total principal amount of our second mortgage
loans is limited to 20% of our average invested assets. We currently have two second mortgage loans totaling approximately $65,000
in principal amount outstanding. We do not loan to any borrower who has been in operation for less than two years and the borrower
must demonstrate they can service the debt outstanding for the prior three years based on historical financial statements. We do
not loan money based on projections or pledge programs. The loan amount to any borrower cannot exceed 75% loan to appraised value.
Typically, we do not loan over 70% loan to value except in extenuating circumstances. In addition, the borrower’s long-term
debt (including the proposed loan) cannot exceed four times the borrower’s gross income for the previous twelve month period.
Historically, loans in our
portfolio are outstanding for an average of five years. Our borrowers are typically small independent churches with little or no
borrowing history. Once a church establishes a payment history with us, they look to refinance their loan with a local bank, credit
union or other financial institution which is willing to provide financing since the borrower has established a payment history
and have demonstrated they can meet their mortgage debt obligations.
Operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2012 increased to approximately $185,000 compared to $180,000 at March 31, 2011. The increase is the result of higher
legal fees incurred incurred with recent foreclosure proceedings.
Mortgage Loans and Real Estate Held for
Sale
No mortgage loans were paid in full during
the three months ended March 31, 2012. No new loans were funded during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The Company currently owns $2,035,000 First
Mortgage Bonds issued by St. Agnes Missionary Baptist Church located in Houston, Texas. The total principal amount of First Mortgage
Bonds issued by St. Agnes is $13,375,000. St. Agnes defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in June 2007. The church
subsequently commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the three properties that secure the First Mortgage
Bonds in November 2007, which was dismissed in September 2008, and the church was subsequently foreclosed upon. The Company, along
with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. No accrual for interest receivable from the First Mortgage
Bonds is recorded by the Company. The Company has an aggregate allowance for losses of $800,000 for the First Mortgage Bonds at
March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes
will be recovered. In March 2009, a lease was signed with St. Agnes to permit it to remain in the property while submitting lease
payments to bondholders as partial interest payments. Lease payments began in the second quarter of 2009, however St. Agnes failed
to make all required lease payments and was evicted from the property in the first quarter of 2010. The trustee has sold one of
the properties. The trustee has not provided details of the sale to bondholders as of March 31, 2012.
The Company currently owns $637,000 First Mortgage
Bonds and $497,000 Second Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church located in Orlando, Florida. The total principal
amount of First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape is $7,200,000, and the total principal amount of Second Mortgage Bonds issued is
$715,000. Agape defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in September 2010. The church subsequently commenced a Chapter
11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the property that secures the First Mortgage Bonds in December 2010. Agape is
currently performing under a loan modification agreement. The trustee is collecting weekly sinking fund payments from the Church,
however this has not yet resulted in any disbursements to bondholders as of March 31, 2012. If the Church continues to make its
re-scheduled weekly payments, the trustee believes it will be able to resume the quarterly distribution of interest to bondholders
in the near future. The Company, along with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. The Company has
an aggregate allowance for losses of $200,000 for the First and Second Mortgage Bonds during the periods ended March 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes will be recovered.
Dividends
We have elected to operate as a real estate
investment trust (REIT), therefore we are required, among other things, to distribute to shareholders at least 90% of “Taxable
Income” in order to maintain our REIT status. The dividends declared and paid to shareholders may include cash from origination
fees even though they are not recognized as income in their entirety for the period under generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. We did not earn any origination fees for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We paid a dividend of $.09 for each share held
of record on January 25, 2012. The dividend, which was paid January 30, 2012, represents a 3.60% annual rate of return on each
share of common stock owned, assuming a purchase price of $10 per share.
Our Board of Directors declared a dividend
of $.09 for each share held of record on April 25, 2012. The dividend, which was paid April 30, 2012, represents a 3.60% annual
rate of return on each share of common stock owned, assuming a purchase price of $10 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate revenue through implementation
of our business plan of making mortgage loans to, and acquiring first mortgage bonds issued by, churches and other non-profit religious
organizations. Our revenue is derived principally from interest income, and secondarily through the origination fees and renewal
fees generated by the mortgage loans we make. We also earn income through interest on funds that are invested pending their use
in funding mortgage loans and on income generated on church bonds. Our principal recurring expenses are advisory fees, legal and
accounting fees, interest payments on secured investor certificates. Our liabilities at March 31, 2012 are primarily comprised
of dividends declared as of March 31, 2012 but not yet paid and our secured investor certificates.
Our current capital is fully deployed into
loans and first mortgage church bonds. We do not intend to fund any new loans until further notice at which time additional capital
will need to be raised. Our current funding sources are expected to provide adequate cash for our operations for the next twelve
months. Future capital needs are expected to be met by: (i) the additional sale of securities; (ii) prepayment and repayment at
maturity of mortgage loans we make; (iii) borrowed funds; and (iv) bonds that mature or we sell from our bond portfolio. We believe
that the “rolling” effect of mortgage loans maturing and bond repayments will provide a supplemental source of capital
to fund our business operations in future years. Nevertheless, we believe that it may be desirable, if not necessary, to sell additional
securities in order to enhance our capacity to make mortgage loans on a continuous basis. There can be no assurance we will be
able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable for such purposes.
In October 2008, we filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a registration statement to offer $20,000,000 worth of Series C Secured Investor Certificates to qualified
investors. The offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2009 and amended in January
2010. The offering was concluded March 31, 2012. These certificates provided a source of capital to fund additional loans to qualified
borrowers, pay down existing maturing certificates and to pay off our line of credit. At March 31, 2012, approximately $7,932,000
had been collected from the issuance of 7,932 Series C certificates.
The Company commenced a stock exchange program
effective February 2, 2010 whereby it offered to shareholders on an ongoing basis (until terminated or modified by the Board of
Directors) an exchange of one $1,000 principal amount Series C secured investor certificate for 200 shares of common stock of the
Company, and, with respect to odd-lot holders above 200 shares converted into certificates, the sum of $5.00 cash for each remaining
share. This exchange ratio was determined by management and approved by the Board of Directors, and was established as a basis
for the completion of the exchange offer. This ratio was not intended to represent the amount at which the Company or any other
party would be expected to purchase common stock in an arm’s-length transaction. The Company’s Board of Directors approved
up to 1,000,000 shares to be repurchased. As of March 31, 2012, requests representing an aggregate of approximately 532,743 shares
have been submitted for share exchanges. The Company exchanged 0 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company
exchanged 528,974 shares during the year ended December 31, 2011 for 2,586 Series C certificates ($2,586,000 in principal amount)
and paid $76,810 in cash for remainder shares. The program was terminated by the Board of Directors on April 12, 2012 because the
Company did not renew the Series C secured investor certificate offering.
The Company commenced a share repurchase plan
on July 19, 2011 whereby it offers to shareholders on an ongoing, first-come, first-served basis (until terminated or modified
by the Board of Directors): the repurchase of an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. Shares may
be purchased at the sole discretion of the Company, subject to the funds available after meeting Company obligations. Shareholders
must present for repurchase either: (i) a minimum of 500 Shares, or (ii) the total number of Shares registered in such Shareholder’s
name. The Company repurchased 10,162 shares for $40,649 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011,
the Company had repurchased 160,927 shares for $643,229 in cash. The Program may be modified or rescinded at the Board’s
discretion upon 10 days’ notice to shareholders.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012,
total assets increased by approximately $1,114,000 due to an increase in proceeds from our Series C certificate offering. Current
liabilities increased by approximately $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to an increase in current maturities
of our secured investor certificates. Non-current liabilities increased by approximately $1,078,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2012 due to the sale of secured investor certificates from our series C certificate offering.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012,
net cash provided by operating activities decreased to approximately $137,000 from $165,000 from the comparative period ended March
31, 2011, primarily due to decreases in the provision for mortgage loans receivable, amortization of loan origination discounts
and interest receivable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012,
net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $143,000 compared to cash provided by investing activities of approximately
$403,000 from the comparative three months ended March 31, 2011, due to a decrease in collections of mortgage loans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012,
net cash provided by (used for) financing activities increased to approximately $929,000 from ($422,000) for the comparative three
months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to a increase in proceeds from secured investor certificate sales.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of our financial statements requires
estimates and judgments to be made that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported. Such decisions
include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates.
We evaluate these estimates based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The difficulty in applying these policies arises
from the assumptions, estimates and judgments that have to be made currently about matters that are inherently uncertain, such
as future economic conditions, operating results and valuations as well as management intentions. As the difficulty increases,
the level of precision decreases, meaning that actual results can and probably will be different from those currently estimated.
Management uses estimates and assumptions in
preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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. The most sensitive estimates relate to the realizability of the
mortgage loans receivable and the valuation of the bond portfolio and real estate held for sale. It is at least reasonably possible
that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any, may be material to the financial
statements.
We estimate the value of real estate we hold
pending re-sale based on a number of factors. We look at the current condition of the property as well as current market conditions
in determining a fair value, which will determine the listing price of each property. Each property is valued based on its current
listing price less any anticipated selling costs, including for example, realtor commissions. Since churches are single use facilities
the listing price of the property may be lower than the total amount owed to us. Attorney fees, taxes, utilities along with real
estate commission fees will also reduce the amount we collect from the sale of a property we have acquired through foreclosure.
The fair value of the real estate held for sale includes estimates of expenses related to the sale of the real estate.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Items 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal accounting
officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended March
31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that information required
to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2012,
there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
