NOTE A--ORGANTZATION

The Lutheran Church Extension Fund - Missouri Synod ("LCEF") was organized
in 1978 as part of an overall plan to restructure all of the church
extension activities of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod ‘"Synod").
The plan for restructuring Synod's church extension activities called for
the LCEF to continue the activities of, and to succeed to the assets and
liabilities of all the Synod's loan funds, the internal fund grouping of
Synod previously used to account for all aspects of church extension work.

Accordingly, as of September 30, 1978, the LCEF nade an excnange offer i
47 of the states in which the Synod had existing investors in chur
extension notes. Investors were given the option to tender their church
extension notes in exchange for similar obligations of the LCEF, or to
retain their existing church extension notes. Investors in Church
Extension 3onds were act offered an exchange.
