PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

The Company:

The Company, Ministry Partners Investment Corporation, is a California corporation, formed in October, 1991, for the sole purpose of investing in or purchasing existing loans to qualified church organizations. The Company was formed by and is currently the wholly-owned subsidiary of ECCU. 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 (mission) of providing 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. In accordance with its mission, the Company operates with a view towards providing the highest practical yields to its investors in relation to the yields it realizes on its Mortgage Loan investments and its operating, general and administrative costs. As the Company's sole shareholder, ECCU has not, and does not intend in the future to cause the Company to operate with a view towards maximizing profit. The Company's primary goal will be to continue to provide funds for 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.

To date, the Company's investments have been financed by the sale of investor notes and through ECCU's investment in the Company's common stock. The Company's Mortgage Loan Investments have been facilitated through a warehouse credit line from ECCU. This credit line financing is currently in the amount of $2,500,000. 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 has filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (including all amendments thereto, the "Registration Statement"), with respect to its Class Alpha notes. For further information about the Company and its Securities, reference is made to the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, which may be examined without charge at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at Room 1204, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549, and copies of which may be obtained from the Commission upon payment of the prescribed fees. The Registration Statement may also be obtained from the Commission's website maintained at http://www.sec.gov.

Since December 31, 1996 and continuing after the date of this report, the Company will be 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.

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

As of the date of this Report, there is no material litigation, threatened or pending, against the Company. The Company's management is not aware of any disagreements, disputes or other matters which may lead to the filing of legal proceedings involving the Company.



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 has 125,000 shares of its common stock outstanding, all of which shares are owned by Evangelical Christian Credit Union, 1150 N. Magnolia Avenue, Anaheim, California 92801. These shares are not traded publicly. None of the Company's officers or directors beneficially owns any of these shares. The Company does not have outstanding any options, warrants or convertible securities. No other rights to purchase securities of the Company have been issued.



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. Historically, these sources have provided sufficient funds for the Company's timely payment of debt security obligations and it has not been required or attempted to obtain funds from the sale or hypothecation of its Mortgage Loan investments. Historically, the Company has experienced significant rates of reinvestment or renewal by its debt security investors upon maturity of their investments. Thus, 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, 2001 vs. Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2000

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred a net gain of $43,660 as compared to a net gain of $4,865 for the same twelve months ended December 31, 2000, an increase in net income of $38,795. Interest income, net, for the period, was $473,370, an increase of 22% from $388,544 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The Company's cost of funds (i.e., interest expense) during this period increased $126,484 (or 12%) to $1,230,019 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2001 as compared to $1,103,535 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. This is attributable to growth in both the Company's debt securities and notes receivable portfolios, as well as an increase in the net interest margin over the same period in 2000. At December 31, 2001, the company had outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) of $22,947,034, up from $16,939,707 at December 31, 2000, an increase of 36%.

The Company's operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 increased to $383,470 from $362,102 for the same period ending December 31, 2000, an increase of 6%. This is attributable to increases in Salaries and Benefits, and increases in Office Operations for the company over the same period in 2000.





Liquidity and Capital Resources

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2001 vs. Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2000

Net decrease in cash during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 was $94,841, compared to a net increase of $11,715 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. This decrease of $106,556 was due to both decreases in net cash provided by operating activities and investing activities. Net cash used by operating activities totaled $830,129 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001; a decrease of $1,715,499 from $885,370 provided by operating activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000.

Net cash used by investing activities totaled $5,522,039 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2,310,008 used during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, an increase in cash used of $3,212,031. 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, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $6,257,327 for this twelve-month period in 2001, an increase of $4,820,974 from $1,436,353 provided by financing activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. 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 2000.

At December 31, 2001, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves and cash available for investment in the mortgage loans, was $112,647, down from $207,488 at December 31, 2000, a decrease of $94,841.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business: Ministry Partners Investment Corporation was incorporated in California in 1991 and is a wholly-owned 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 classification used in the current year.

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.
