To the Board of Directors
Cornerstone Ministries Investments, Inc.
I have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Cornerstone Ministries
Investments, Inc. as of September 30, 2001 and the statements of income,
retained earnings, and cash flows for the 9 months ended September 30, 2001 and
September 30, 2000, in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these
financial statements is the representation of the management of PIF/Cornerstone
Ministries, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.
Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be
made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Securities Act of 1933. Under this Registration Statement it is the Company's
intent to raise approximately $19,275,000 in additional capital. This is to be
accomplished through the issuance of $2,275,000 in additional Common Stock and

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
Since our inception, we have been focused on serving only faith-based
organizations, principally churches. We also offer specialized programs for
churches and non-profit sponsors of senior housing and affordable housing
programs. While our earnings have historically come from financing churches,
that began to change during the last quarter of 2000 as we began to realize
revenues from investment in senior and affordable housing projects.
As previously reported, Cornerstone Ministries Investments, Inc. acquired, by
merger effective December 29, 2000, all of the assets and liabilities of
Presbyterian Investors Fund, Inc., a not for profit corporation. No additional
shares were issued in the merger.
PIF/CMI generates revenue from origination and renewal fees on loans, interest
on these loans, gains on the sale of property and interest on money market
accounts. We also receive limited lease income, but we are no longer pursuing a
lease/purchase strategy. We currently charge a 10% fee on new loans and renewal
fees of as much as 5% of the outstanding balance of the renewing loan. Our
interest rate on all new loans is currently from 10% to 12%. Some loans are
participating loans, enabling PIF/CMI to receive income from the gains on the
sale of property for which it has provided financing. The participation
percentage varies between 25% and 33% of the gains on the sale of real estate.
Comparison of Periods Ending September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001
Income
General. Assets increased from $6,3173,341 at the end of September 30, 2000 to
$37,784,666 at the end of September 2001, as a result of the merger with PIF and
the sale of CMI's stock and certificates. The December 29, 2000 merger has had a
material effect on quarterly income. Gross income was $450,321 for the first 3
quarters of 2000 and $4,276,619 for the same period in 2001. Net income for
these periods, before dividends but after taxes, was $27,461and $313,812
respectively.
Total loans outstanding on September 30, 2000 were $5,182,115 and $26,439,969 on
September 30, 2001. Our other assets at the end of September 2001 included
$147,500 in investments in church bonds, $898,654 in interest receivable and
$2,325,000 in tax-exempt securities. We also had investments in liquid
securities of $5,213,435.
Interest Income. Interest income on loans increased from $301,377 to $2,016,310,
largely as a result of the merger and additional loans made during this period.
Investment interest income increased from $11,944 to $98,228 for the nine month
period
Fee Income. Fee income for the nine months ending September 30, 2001 was
$895,925 versus $136,000 for the same period in 2000. The increase is the result
of additional loans being made during the period out of increased funds arising
from the sale of stock and certificates, as well as some limited refinancing of
existing loans by third parties, providing some additional lendable assets and
the merger.
Income from the sale of property. CMI realized a gain from the sale of real
estate held for investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of
$183,429. No such gain was realized during the same period in the year 2000.
PIF/CMI currently holds title to two properties, one in Soddy Daisy, TN, which
it expects to sell during the year 2001 and one in Cumming, Ga which is being
used for corporate offices.
Expenses
Interest Expense. As a result of its growth in assets through sales and the
merger, PIF/CMI experienced an increase in interest expense from $267,241 in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $1,954,433, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 This increase in interest expense is primarily a result of a
net increase in outstanding certificate principal, from $3,813,729 to
$31,251,206.
11
Marketing and Selling Expenses. CMI has not committed a substantial amount of
resources for marketing its lending capabilities because of the continuing
backlog of projects with which it has been approached. Total promotional
expenses in the first three quarters of 2001 were $33,130 versus $7,435 in the
same period of 2000.
Operating and Administrative Expenses. Operating and administrative expenses
totaled $617,641in the first 3 quarters of 2001 and $94,388 in the same period
of 2000. This increase can be attributed to having a larger asset base on which
administrative services are calculated. Prior to the merger, CMI paid PIF an
administrative services fee of 1.5% of assets. After the merger, all operating
and administrative costs, including salaries, selling commissions and legal
expenses, are paid directly by PIF/CMI.
Selling commissions are paid in cash but capitalized over three, five, and seven
years depending on whether a three-year certificate, five-year certificate or
common stock is sold. Amortized commissions increased from $457,579 at September
30, 2000 to $703,358 at September 30, 2001 as certificates and common stock have
been sold in the current offering, which commenced in May 2000. Commission
expense and the accompanying capitalized assets will increase as securities
continue to be sold.
Amortized legal expenses increased as a result of the new offering in the year
2000. Legal expenses associated with both the 1998 offering and the 2000
offering are capitalized and amortized. We capitalized and are amortizing the
costs associated with the transfer of registrar, paying agent, and trustee
services as well.
Taxes. CMI accrued taxes of $6,785 at September 30, 2000 on pre-tax income of
$34,238, anticipating significant additional income. We estimate taxes for the
year 2001 will be approximately $175,000 based on projected income estimates for
the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash from Operations. Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 was $152,085. For the nine months ended September 30,
2001 net cash provided from operations was $77,889.
Cash from Financings. CMI began operations in 1996 with an initial investment of
$510,000 from individuals and PIF. CMI's first offering of stock and
certificates in 1998 raised a total of $3,747,306. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 cash provided from financing activities was $6,128,450 versus
$1,826,755 for the same period in 2000.
Current Offering. CMI is currently seeking new capital of up to $19,275,000,
consisting of $2,275,000 in common stock (shares priced at $6.50 per share) and
$17,000,000 in unsecured debt. This offering began in May 2000. For the quarter
ended September 30, 2001 no new shares had been sold. Additionally $5,294,010 in
certificates had been sold, including rollovers from maturing certificates.
We believe that additional sales of new investments from the current and planned
offerings, as well as cash on hand, expected refinancings and sales of existing
loans, will be sufficient to meet our capital needs for the next quarter. The
amount and timing of our future capital requirements will depend on factors such
as the origination and funding of new investments, the costs of additional
underwriting and marketing efforts, and general expenses of operations.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation, which has been limited during the course of our operating history,
has had little effect on operations and we do not believe it will have a
significant effect on our cost of capital or on the rates that we charge on our
loans. Inflation resulting in increased prices for real estate could potentially
decrease the ability of some potential clients to purchase, finance, or lease a
property.
