PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

The Company:

The Company, Ministry Partners Investment Corporation, is a California corporation, formed in October, 1991. The Company was formed by ECCU, which owns all of the Company's outstanding common stock. See "BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY - ECCU and Its Relationship to the Company." The Company is a taxable organization under both federal and California state law. ECCU is a mutual benefit corporation and is exempt from both federal and California state income taxes but is subject to taxes on unrelated business income.

The Company was organized for the purpose of providing funds for real property secured loans for the benefit of Evangelical churches and church organizations through funding provided to the Company by members of and persons associated with such churches and organizations. In accordance with its mission, the Company seeks to provide higher than average yields to its investors in relation to the yields it realizes on its mortgage loan investments and its operating, general and administrative costs. The Company does not seek to maximize its profits from its lending activities. The Company's primary goal will be to continue to provide affordable secured loans to Evangelical churches and church organizations on a cost effective basis both for the Company and such borrowers.

The Company is one of the few institutions or agencies within the western United States organized to assist local evangelical Christian church congregations and organizations to provide financing for the acquisition, development and/or renovation of churches or church-related properties. Historically, through the sale of its debt securities to persons affiliated with evangelical Christian churches and organizations, the Company has given these persons the opportunity to jointly and indirectly provide their organizations with such financing, something they may not have been able to accomplish individually. To date, the Company has suffered no defaults under any of its mortgage loans nor has the Company defaulted on or been delinquent in the payment of any interest or principal on the notes it has sold to investors.

The Company's investments are financed by the sale of investor notes and through ECCU's investment in the Company's common stock. The Company's mortgage loan investments are facilitated through a warehouse credit line from ECCU in the amount of $3,000,000. This credit line, which the Company intends to maintain indefinitely, is subject to ECCU's standard commercial loan requirements, including blanket liens on the Company's assets. ECCU has agreed to subordinate this loan to the payment of its Class A, Class A-1 and Class Alpha Notes. There is no assurance that ECCU will be able to continue to provide this credit line to the Company in the future.

The Company currently employs three full-time persons. ECCU provides the Company with certain services for which ECCU charges the Company on a current basis.



Reports:

The Company is not required to, and does not, deliver annual reports to its security holders.

The Company is required to file such reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as it may be required to file pursuant to the Exchange Act by reason of Section 15(d) thereof. The Company is not otherwise subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith does not otherwise file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission. Any reports, proxy statements and other information filed by the Company in accordance with the Exchange Act can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at Room 1204, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549 and Suite 1400, 5670 Wilshire Boulevard, 11th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90036. Copies of such material can be obtained at prescribed rates from the public reference section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such reports, proxy statements and other information concerning the company may also be obtained from the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.



Item 2. Description of Property

The Company's business offices are located at 955 West Imperial Highway, Brea, California 92822. The Company's telephone number is 800-753-6742.

The Company currently rents its offices (approximately 1200 square feet) from ECCU on a month-to-month basis for $2,160. ECCU provides the Company with certain services and the use of certain of its facilities for which ECCU charges the Company on a current basis. Presently, the amounts ECCU charges the Company in this regard are at the market rate for similar services and facilities charged by unrelated persons.



Item 3. Legal Proceedings

None

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

The Company's common stock is not traded in any public market.

On February 25, 2003, the Company sold 200 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to Telesis Community Credit Union, 9301 Winnetka Avenue, Chatsworth, CA 91311, at a cash price of $1,000 per share. The Company relied upon the exemption from Registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in making the sale.



Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations

The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements, including the notes thereto. The Company's plan of business consists of the offer and sale of debt obligations to investors on a continuous basis to provide funds for the Company's mortgage loan investments. Management believes that its strategy for maintaining liquidity will enable it to timely service and retire the notes regardless of the maturity mix of the notes outstanding.



Management intends to continue the Company's current liquidity plan which relies primarily on funds from operations, cash reserves and borrowings under the ECCU Credit Line to pay interest and principal on its debt securities on a timely basis. In addition, the Company has from time to time asked ECCU to repurchase some of the Company's mortgage loan investments in order to provide short term liquidity, in each case ECCU agreed to do so. However, ECCU is under no obligation to continue this practice. Historically, the Company has experienced significant rates of reinvestment or renewal by its debt security investors upon maturity of their investments. These sources may not continue to provide sufficient liquidity in the event the Company does not experience comparable reinvestment rates on the notes. Even so, management believes that the Company can realize sufficient funds from its ECCU Credit Line and/or the sale or hypothecation of its mortgage loan investments, should additional funds be necessary to repay the Company's debt securities as they mature. Management bases this belief on the size and quality of the Company's mortgage loan investments, the availability of purchasers of those assets on a timely basis and a historic price (at or near par) paid for secured loans comparable to the Company's mortgage loan investments.

Management believes that it can continue to achieve profitable margins between interest revenues and interest expenses irrespective of fluctuating interest rates or inflation based on the adjustment of interest rates the Company pays to its note investors to reflect increases or decreases, in the blended index rate (as defined in the prospectus). In addition, a significant percentage of the Company's mortgage loan investments have variable interest rates and reflect interest rate fluctuations due to inflation or other factors over the term of the investment.

Results of Operations

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2002 vs. Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2001

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the Company had net income of $104,277 as compared to net income of $43,660 for the same twelve months ended December 31, 2001, an increase in net income of $60,617. Interest income, net, for the period, was $698,929, an increase of 48% from $473,370 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The Company's cost of funds (i.e., interest expense) during this period increased $60,632 (or 5%) to $1,290,651 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2002 as compared to $1,230,019 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The increase are attributable to growth in both the Company's debt securities (i.e., notes payable) and notes receivable portfolios, as well as an increase in the net interest margin over the same period in 2001. At December 31, 2002, the company had outstanding debt securities (notes payable) of $30,248,223, up from $22,947,034 at December 31, 2001, an increase of 32%.

The Company's operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 increased to $471,816 from $383,470 for the same period ending December 31, 2001, an increase of 23%. This is attributable to increases in Salaries and Benefits, and increases in Marketing and Promotions for the company over the same period in 2001.





Liquidity and Capital Resources

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2002 vs. Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2001

Net increase in cash during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 was $82,178, compared to a net decrease of $94,841 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. This increase of $177,019 was due to increases in both net cash provided by operating activities and investing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $151,333 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002; an increase of $981,462 from $830,129 used by operating activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001.

Net cash used by investing activities totaled $7,370,344 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, compared to $5,522,039 used during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, an increase in cash used of $1,848,305. This difference is primarily attributable to an increase in cash used by net notes receivable (the difference between purchases of notes receivable and principal payments received on notes receivable) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7,301,189 for this twelve-month period in 2002, an increase of $1,043,862 from $6,257,327 provided by financing activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. This difference is primarily attributable to an increase in cash provided by net borrowings on notes payable (the difference between principal payments made one notes payable and proceeds from borrowings on notes payable) as compared to the same period in 2001.

At December 31, 2002, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves and cash available for investment in the mortgage loans, was $194,825, up from $112,647 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $82,178.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



Board of Directors

Ministry Partners Investment Corporation



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ministry Partners Investment Corporation as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ministry Partners Investment Corporation as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MINISTRY PARTNERS INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Nature of Business: Ministry Partners Investment Corporation was incorporated in California in 1991 and is a subsidiary of Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU). The Company provides funds for real property secured loans for the benefit of Evangelical churches and church organizations through funding provided by members of and persons associated with such churches and organizations. The Company's offices, as well as those of its loan origination source, ECCU, are located in the state of California and substantially all of the business and operations of the Company are currently conducted in California and its mortgage loan investments are concentrated in California.



Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Notes Receivable: Interest income on notes receivable is recognized over the term of the note and is generally computed using the simple interest method. The allowance for notes receivable losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge offs (net of recoveries).



Property and Equipment: Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.



Prepaid Offering Expense: Prepaid public offering is related to a public offering of unsecured notes. It is being amortized over a two-year period.

Reclassifications: Certain account reclassifications have been made to the financial statements of the prior year in order to conform to classifications used in the current year.



NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company maintains all its funds at the parent, ECCU. Total funds held with ECCU at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $194,825 and $112,647, respectively. Interest earned on these funds for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $5,433 and $23,891, respectively.



Page 6



NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company, as part of its investment strategy, purchases an interest in participation loans offered for sale by ECCU. The Company purchased participation loans totaling $30,809,066 and $18,654,716 from ECCU and received no fee income from ECCU during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company recognized interest income on notes receivable from ECCU of $1,977,919 and $1,677,089 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company pays support charges for management services and rent to ECCU on a month-to-month basis. Charges of $79,380 and $75,600 were paid for these services for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The method used to arrive at the periodic charge is based on the fair market value of services provided. Management believes that such method is reasonable.

The Company reimburses ECCU for salaries and benefits of employees. The amounts reimbursed for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $195,022 and $181,580, respectively.

The Company had $34,338 and $26,575 due to ECCU at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

The notes receivable are backed by loan participation agreements secured by loans originated by ECCU to various churches and related organizations to finance facilities. Loan maturities extend through 2008. The notes earn interest at rates between 3.53% and 9.63%, with a weighted average yield of 6.5%.

The Company maintains allowance for notes receivable losses of $60,000. The Company has no experience of loan loss and, as of December 31, 2002, none of the loans are impaired. Management believes all of the notes are adequately secured and the allowance is adequately maintained.



NOTE 4 - LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has an unsecured $3,000,000 line of credit with ECCU that expires March 31, 2003. There were no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. The interest rate at December 31, 2002 was 4.75%. The interest rate on this line varies based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate published by The Wall Street Journal. Interest of $5,712 and $935 was paid to ECCU during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of financial condition. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the company.



The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:



Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Notes and Loans Receivable: Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current average rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Notes Payable: The fair value of fixed maturity notes is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for notes payable of similar remaining maturities.

NOTE 10 - PENSION PLAN

Employees of the company participate in ECCU's defined benefit contribution pension plan that includes two components: a 401(k) plan and a profit-sharing plan.

401(k):

Employees are eligible upon hire date, no minimum service is required and the minimum age is twenty-one. Each employee may elect voluntary contributions not to exceed 15% of salary. The plan has a matching program, the percent of which is annually determined by the board of directors. Contributions for the plan year ended December 31, 2002 were $5,577.

Profit-sharing:

The profit-sharing plan is for all employees who, at the end of the calendar year, are at least twenty-one years old, still employed, and have at least 1,000 hours of service during the latest accrual period. The amount annually contributed on behalf of each qualified employee is determined by the board of directors, and is calculated as a percentage of the eligible employee's annual earnings. Plan forfeitures are used to reduce the credit union's annual contribution. Contributions for the plan year ended December 31, 2002 were $5,007.
