EMERGENT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A--BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with the SEC's rules regarding interim financial statements, and therefore do
not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the
financial statements included in the Company's annual report for 1994
including the footnotes thereto.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1995 and the consolidated
statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited and in the opinion of
management contain all known adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments readily convertible to
known amounts of cash or having a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
NOTE B--INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES
For the three month period ended March 31, the Company paid interest of
$1,795,000 in 1995 and $1,327,000 in 1994.
For the three month period ended March 31, the Company paid income taxes of
$17,000 in 1995 and $56,000 in 1994.
NOTE C--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company maintains its primary checking accounts with two principal banks
and makes overnight investments in reverse repurchase agreements with those
same banks. The amounts maintained in the checking accounts are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100,000. At
March 31, 1995 the amounts maintained in overnight investments in reverse
repurchase agreements, which are not insured by the FDIC, totaled $44,000
which was with Carolina First Bank. The investments were collateralized by
U.S. Government securities held by the banks.
Short-term investments include a certificate of deposit with Carolina First
Bank in the face amount of $197,000, plus accrued interest, at March 31,
1995. The cost of this investment approximates market.
NOTE D--SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company currently operates in three industry segments:
1) The Financial Services segment consists of making first and second
residential mortgage loans, construction loans, small business loans
and consumer loans.

<PAGE>
EMERGENT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(Continued)
2) The Apparel Manufacturing segment consists of design, manufacture,
and marketing and dresses for children.
3) The Transportation segment consists of short line railroad operations,
boxcar leasing and railcar repair shop operations.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 was $169,000
compared to $511,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This decrease in
net income was due principally to the reduction in net income at Young
Generations, Inc. ("YGI"), which comprises the Apparel Manufacturing segment.
This decrease in net income at YGI was partially offset by the improved
results of the Financial Services segment, principally due to the net income
of Carolina Investors, Inc. ("CII").
The Financial Services segment had net income of $393,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to net income of $74,000
for the same period in 1994. This improvement in net income of the Financial
Services segment was due principally to the improved results of CII which had
net income of $659,000 for the 1995 period compared to a net loss of $6,000
for the 1994 period. CII sells floating rate notes and subordinated debentures
to residents of South Carolina and originates and services first and second
residential mortgage loans. Emergent Business Capital, Inc. ("EBC"), which
originates and services commercial loans partially guaranteed by the Small
Business Administration ("SBA"), had a loss of $222,000 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1995 compared to net income of $65,000 for the
comparable period in 1994.
The Apparel Manufacturing segment, which consists of the operations of YGI,
had a net loss of $339,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995
compared to net income of $112,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This
decrease in net income was due to lower sales volume.
The Transportation segment had net income of $27,000 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1995 compared to net income of $110,000 for the
comparable period in 1994. This decrease in net income was due to the sale
of Peninsula Terminal Company ("PT") and the sale of 346 leased boxcars
during 1994.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Revenues from the Financial Services segment were $4,711,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to revenues of
9
<PAGE>
$2,943,000 for the comparable period in 1994. The increase in revenues was
due principally to the increase in interest income at EBC and CII as a
result of the increase in loan portfolios and the income in realized gains
on investment sales at CII. Interest income for EBC was $699,000 for the
three-month period in 1995 compared to $352,000 for the same period in 1994.
Interest income for CII was $1,875,000 for the three-month period in 1995
compared to $1,309,000 for the comparable period in 1994. EBC had loans
receivable of $23,211,000 at March 31, 1995 compared to $19,306,000 at
March 31, 1994. CII had a growth in loans receivable from $45,598,000 at
March 31, 1994 to $60,964,000 at March 31, 1995. Realized gain on investment
sales for CII for the three-month period in 1995 was $765,000 compared to no
activity for the comparable period in 1994.
Operating costs of the Financial Services segment were $4,297,000 for the
three-month period ending March 31, 1995 compared to $2,782,000 for the
same period in 1994. The increase in operating costs was due principally to
the increase in interest expense as a result of increased borrowing to fund
the growth in the loan portfolios at EBC, CII and Loan Pro$, Inc. ("Loan
Pro$"). The increase in operating costs was also due to the additional
provision for losses on real estate held for sale at CII and the increase in
selling, general and administrative costs as a result of expansion at CII
and the opening of new loan production offices by Loan Pro$ and Premier
Financial Services, Inc. ("Premier").
Loan Pro$, which originates and services consumer loans secured by preowned
automobiles, had net income of $38,000 for the three-month period in 1995
compared to $12,000 for the same period in 1994. This improvement was due to
the increase in interest income from $273,000 for the three-month period in
1994 to $456,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase in interest income
was due to the growth in the loan portfolio from $4,599,000 at March 31, 1994
to $7,569,000 at March 31, 1995. The increase in interest income was offset by
the increase in expenses due to the opening of Loan Pro$'s fourth loan
production office in January 1995.
Premier had a net loss of $7,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
1995 compared to net income of $5,000 for the same period in 1994. This
decrease was due principally to the additional expenses resulting from the
opening of Premier's second loan production office in January 1995. The
increase in interest income from $131,000 for the three-month period in 1994
to $154,000 for the same period in 1995 somewhat offset the increase in
expenses due to the opening of Premier's second office.
Management believes that the Financial Services segment will continue to
operate profitably in 1995 due to the continued growth in loan portfolios,
principally at CII and the increase in mortgage banking revenue and
realized gains on investment sales at CII.
The operations of EBC are subject to the changes in regulations and
operating procedures of the SBA. The SBA reduced the total amount of any
single loan which it would guarantee from $1,000,000 to $500,000 effective
January 1, 1995. The SBA has announced that it will discontinue federal
guaranties for certain refinancings as of May 15, 1995. The SBA
will continue to guarantee refinancings for debts to
10
<PAGE>
suppliers. Management believes that these changes may have an adverse
effect on the volume of loans made by EBC. Management anticipates that these
policy changes by the SBA may be subject to review and possible revision
and improvement as the fiscal 1996 budget of the U.S. Government is finalized.
APPAREL MANUFACTURING
YGI had revenues of $3,339,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
1995 compared to revenues of $3,786,000 for the same period in 1994. Net
sales at wholesale to specialty and department stores decreased from
$2,551,000 for the three-month period in 1994 to $2,332,000 for the same
period in 1995. This decrease was due to the reduced number of specialty
stores in the market and the reduction of orders placed by retail
department stores. Sales in YGI's retail factory outlet stores were
$1,007,000 for the three-month period in 1995 compared to $1,235,000
for the same period in 1994. The decrease in sales in the retail factory
outlet stores was due principally to the Easter holiday falling in the
second quarter (April 16) in 1995 compared to April 3 in 1994. The Easter
season is a major selling period for the dresses manufactured by EGI,
resulting in a significant sales increase in the retail factory outlet stores
during the two weeks prior to Easter Sunday.
Cost of sales for YGI was $2,210,000 for the three-month period ending
March 31, 1995 compared to $2,178,000 for the same period in 1994.
The increase in cost of sales was due principally to the increased
cost of manufacturing as a result of YGI's efforts to improve quality,
styling and response to customers.
Management believes that YGI's operating results may improve for the
remainder of 1995 due to efforts to increase the quality and styling
of the children's dresses being manufactured, an increase in marketing
efforts to department and specialty stores and increased volume at
YGI's retail factory outlet stores. There is, however, no assurance
that this will occur. There are no plans for YGI to open additional
retail factory outlet stores in 1995.
TRANSPORTATION
Revenues in the Transportation segment were $108,000 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1995 compared to revenues of $441,000 for the same
period in 1994. This reduction was due to the sale of PT and the sale of
346 leased boxcars during the last six months of 1994.
Operating costs in the Transportation segment were $82,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to $217,000 for the
same period in 1994. This decrease was due to the sale of PT and the
sale of 346 leased boxcars during the last six months of 1994.
Management is continuing its efforts to seek buyers for the remaining
assets in the Transportation segment and intends to continue operating
those businesses in the Transportation segment that can operate profitably
until such a buyer is identified.
11
<PAGE>
INTEREST
Interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 was
$3,368,000 compared to $2,249,000 for the same period in 1994. The increase
in interest income was due to growth in the loan portfolios in the
Financial Services segment. Interest income for the Financial Services
segment was $3,337,000 for the three-month period in 1995 compared to
$2,230,000 for the same period in 1994.
Interest expense increased from $1,474,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1994 to $1,800,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase in interest expense was a result of increased borrowing by
the Financial Services segment to fund the growth in its loan portfolios.
Interest expense in the Financial Services segment was $1,745,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to $1,298,000 for the
same period in 1994. The increase in interest expense was due principally
to increased borrowing by CII through the growth in sales of subordinated
debentures and senior floating rate notes and increased borrowing by EBC
under bank lines of credit. Borrowings attributable to the sales of these
debt instruments at CII was $79,844,000 at March 31, 1995 compared to
$72,368,000 at March 31, 1994. CII had $2,205,000 due to banks at
March 31, 1995 compared to no bank debt at March 31, 1994. EBC had
outstanding debt to banks of $11,060,000 at March 31, 1995 compared to
$3,979,000 at March 31, 1994.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Selling, general and administrative expense was $3,528,000 for the
three-month ended March 31, 1995 compared to $2,960,000 for the same
period in 1994. This increase is due principally to the increase in
selling, general and administrative expense in the Financial Services
segment. The Financial Services segment had selling, general and
administrative expense of $1,786,000 for the three-month period in
1995 compared to $1,298,000 for the same period in 1994. This increase
was due to the expansion of the credit underwriting department at CII
and the opening of one new loan production office at both Loan
Pro$ and Premier.
The Apparel Manufacturing segment had selling, general and administrative
expense of $1,387,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995
compared to $1,319,000 for the same period in 1994. This increase was due
to the opening of one retail factory outlet store during June of 1994.
Corporate selling, general and administrative expense was $341,000 for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to $313,000 for
the comparable period in 1994. This small increase is reflective of
management's continuing efforts to control corporate overhead expenses.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Cash and cash equivalents increased from $384,000 at December 31, 1994
to $1,183,000 at March 31, 1995. Cash provided by operating activities
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 was $3,157,000, cash used
in investing activities was $5,671,000 and cash provided by financing
activities was $3,313,000.
Cash used in investing activities was due principally to the net increase
in loans originated or purchased by the Financial Services segment. Cash
provided by financing activities was due principally to the increase in
borrowing by the Financial Services segment, both through bank financing
and through the sale of subordinated debentures and senior floating
rate notes.
The Financial Services segment requires continual access to long-term and
short-term sources of capital. This capital requirement is currently being
provided through the sale of senior floating rate notes and subordinated
debentures and mortgage banking activities by CII, utilization of lines of
credit and sales into the secondary market of the guaranteed portions of
loans originated by EBC. These sources of capital have historically been
sufficient to provide for the requirements of the operations of the
Financial Services segment. Although there can be no assurance as to this
matter, management believes, based on historical retention of invested funds,
that the capital provided by these sources should provide the sources of
capital necessary to continue the current and anticipated levels of
operations.
CII has available a line of credit in the amount of $20,000,000 of which
$17,800,000 was available at March 31, 1995. EBC has available a line of
credit up to a maximum of $8,000,000 of which none was available at March
31, 1995. This line is limited to the outstanding balance of the guaranteed
portion of loans made through the SBA. EBC also has a line of credit up to
a maximum of $24,000,000 of which $4,051,000 was available at March 31,
