AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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, 2000 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, 2000.
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 that it establishes for individual
organizations.
Accounting Estimates
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.
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 its 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 has not experienced any
losses in such accounts.
Bond Portfolio
The Company accounts for its bond portfolio under Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
The Company classified its bond portfolio as "available-for-sale".
Available-for-sale bonds are carried at fair value. Although no ready public
market for these bonds exists, management believes that their cost approximates
their fair value. During the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the
Company bought $308,000 bonds at par. In addition, during the same three month
period, the Company sold $143,000 of its bonds at par, which was the same as
amortized cost, to an affiliate of the Advisor (see note 4). There were no gains
or losses on the sale.
7
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable
The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for mortgage loans
receivable. At March 31, 2001, the Company followed its loan reserve policy and
provided $2,555 for one mortgage loan which is three mortgage payments in
arrears. In addition, the Company expensed $2,778 of interest due and payable
but never received from the same mortgage loan in arrears.
Organizational Expenses
Organizational expenses were stated at cost net of amortization and were
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.
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 for the purpose of calculating earnings per
share. Stock options had no effect on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
2. MORTGAGE LOANS AND BOND PORTFOLIO
At March 31, 2001, the Company had mortgage loans receivable totaling
$11,676,913. The loans bear interest ranging from 9.50% to 12.00%. The Company
also had a portfolio of secured church bonds at March 31, 2001 which are carried
at cost plus amortized interest income. The bonds pay either semi-annual or
quarterly interest ranging from 5.75% to 10.50%. The combined principal of
$2,440,000 at March 31, 2001 is due at various maturity dates between May 1,
2001 and April 1, 2019.
The maturity schedule for mortgage loans and bonds receivable as of March 31,
2001 is as follows:
Mortgage Loans Bond Portfolio
2002 $ 282,319 $ 28,000
2003 319,858 65,000
2004 352,411 98,000
2005 391,416 56,000
2006 434,756 53,000
Thereafter 9,896,153 2,140,000
Less loan loss reserve (2,555)
Less discounts from par (9,769)
---------- ----------
Totals $11,674,358 $2,430,231

3. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company 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 was to be the fair market value at the grant date. Options outstanding
are 105,000 shares at a price of $10 per share at March 31, 2001. These options
became exercisable November 15, 1996 and incrementally at one year intervals
after the date of grant and expire November 15, 2001 through November 15, 2005.
No options were exercised as of March 31, 2001.
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.,
Minnetonka, Minnesota ("Advisor"). The Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the Company and provides office space, administrative services and
personnel.
Under the terms of 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 to the Advisor management
and origination fees totaling $36,558 and $0 through March 31, 2001.
The Advisor and the Company are related through common ownership and common
management. See Notes 1 and 6.
5. PUBLIC OFFERINGS OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK
The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for a third public offering of its common stock in August 1999. The
Company offered to sell 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10
per share. The offering is being underwritten by an underwriter (an affiliate of
the Advisor) on a "best efforts" basis, and no minimum sale of stock was
required. The stock sale commenced on September 23, 1999. A total of 189,407
shares have been sold through March 31, 2001.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments, none of which
are held for trading purposes, are as follows:
March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000
------------------------------- ---------------------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------
Cash and equivalents $ 509,073 $ 509,073 $ 213,084 $ 213,084
Accounts receivable 12,174 12,174 9,892 9,892
Mortgage loans receivable 11,674,358 11,674,358 11,740,049 11,740,049
Bond portfolio 2,430,231 2,430,231 2,289,962 2,289,962
The carrying value of cash and equivalents approximates fair value. The fair
value of the mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio are estimated by
discounting future cash flows using current discount rates that reflect the
risks associated with similar types of loans.
8. LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has obtained a $1,000,000 line of credit with its bank on July 22,
1999, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, through August 1, 2001.
Interest is charged at 1% over the prime rate totaling 8.50% at March 31, 2001.
The line of credit is collateralized by the mortgage secured bonds held by the
Company. Outstanding borrowings were $699,653 at March 31, 2001.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AMERICAN CHURCH MORTGAGE COMPANY
Plan of Operation
We were founded in May 1994 and began a "best efforts" offering of our common
stock on July 11, 1995, and commenced active business operations on April 15,
1996 after completion of the "Minimum Amount" in our initial public offering
(described below). Consequently, for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995,
we 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 our
offering of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $10.00 per share. We 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, we could not commence our 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 us once the Minimum Offering was achieved, and conducting informational
meetings with brokers and broker-dealers identified to us by the
Dealer/Manager--American Investors Group, Inc. ("American"), an affiliate of
ours. We concluded our initial public offering on November 8, 1996. As of such
date we had sold 335,481 shares to approximately 281 individuals, not including
20,000 shares ($200,000) previously purchased by our initial shareholder -- DRM
Holdings, Inc.
On September 26, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
our second public offering of 1,500,000 common shares at a price of $10.00 per
share ($15,000,000) under SEC File 333-27601. The Offering was co-underwritten
by American Investors Group, Inc. and LaSalle St. Securities, Inc., ("LaSalle").
American acted in the capacity of the Managing Underwriter and is an affiliate
of ours. The Offering was conducted on a"best-efforts" basis pursuant to
applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We concluded our
second public offering on January 22, 1999. We sold 799,759 shares during our
second public offering.
On September 23, 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
our third public offering of 1,500,000 common shares at a price of $10.00 per
shares ($15,000,000) under SEC files 333-81819. The Offering is being conducted
on a "best-efforts" basis pursuant to applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. As of March 31, 2001 we had sold 284,469 shares and had
1,483,344 shares outstanding and approximately 773 individual shareholders.
We currently have thirty first mortgage loans aggregating $11,528,750 in
principal amount, four second mortgage loans aggregating $845,000 in principal
amount and $2,440,000 in principal amount of first mortgage bonds issued by
churches. Funding of additional first mortgage loans is expected to continue on
an on-going basis as more investable assets become available through (i) the
sale of additional shares in future public offerings; (ii) prepayment and
repayment at maturity of existing loans; (iv) borrowed funds; and (v) dividends
reinvested under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Results of Operations
During the three month period ended March 31, 2001 our total assets increased by
$423,660 due primarily to sale of our common stock. Total liabilities increased
by $228,968 due to dividends declared but not yet paid as of March 31, 2001 and
increased borrowings on our line of credit. All loans we have made range in
interest rate charged to the borrowers from 9.50% to 12.00%. As of March 31,
2001, the average, principal-adjusted interest rate on the Company's portfolio
of loans was 10.41%. The Company's portfolio of bonds has an average current
yield of 8.94%.
Net income for the Company's three month period ended March 31, 2001 was
$334,398 on total revenues of $405,401. Interest income earned on our portfolio
of loans was $291,568 We have elected to operate as a real estate investment
trust, therefore we distribute to shareholders at least 95% of "Taxable Income,"
the dividends declared and paid to Shareholders for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 may included origination income even though it is not recognized in its
entirety for the period under GAAP. However, as of March 31, 2001 we had not
realized any origination income during the first three months of the fiscal
year.
10
Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $.2125 for each share held of
record on March 31, 2001. During our 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, 2001
represents a 8.50% annual rate of return on each share of common stock owned and
purchased for $10 per share.. Shareholders' Equity rose $194,692 to $13,509,102
for the same reason. Our liabilities at the end of the three month period ended
March 31, 2001 are primarily comprised of a our borrowings on our line of credit
and dividends declared as of March 31, 2001 but not yet paid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our revenue is derived principally from interest income, and secondarily,
origination fees and renewal fees generated by mortgage loans we make. We 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. We generate 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. Our principal
expenses are advisory fees, legal and accounting fees, communications costs with
our Shareholders, and the expenses of our stock transfer agent, registrar and
dividend reinvestment agent.
Our 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 we make, and (iii) borrowed funds. We believe that the "rolling"
effect of mortgage loans maturing, together with dividends reinvested under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, 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 shares of common stock,
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.
We may borrow funds in an amount not to exceed 50% of our average invested
assets. On July 22, 1999 we obtained a line of credit with Beacon Bank,
Shorewood Minnesota. Interest is charged at 1% over the prime rate totaling
8.50% at March 31, 2001. The line of credit is collateralized by the mortgage
secured bonds we own. We have borrowed $699,653 against our line of credit as of
March 31, 2001. During the three month period ended March 31, 2001 we had paid
$16,685 in interest expense.
For the period ended March 31, 2001 cash from operating activities decreased to
$191,343 from $279,585 from the comparative period ended March 31, 2000,
primarily due to a increase in accounts receivable and reduction in accounts
payable.
For the period ended March 31, 2001 cash used for investing activities decreased
to $77,132 from $898,223 from the comparative period ended March 31, 2000,
primarily due to a reduction in investments in mortgage loans.
For the period ended March 31, 2001 cash from financing activities decreased to
$181,778 from $682,291 from the comparative period ended March 31, 2000,
primarily due to reduced proceeds from the stock offering.
