DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN

         The Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of PMC
Capital, Inc. ("PMC Capital" or the "Company") provides Participants in the Plan

diversified, closed-end management investment company, that has elected to be
regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). PMC Capital is engaged
in the business of originating loans to small businesses, either directly or
through its three principal subsidiaries, primarily under certain programs of
the Small Business Administration (the "SBA").

Investment options offered under the Plan are:

optional payments at any time of not less than $50 per payment or more than
$5,000 in the aggregate per calendar month to purchase shares of common stock.

         The price of shares purchased by Participants either with reinvested
dividends or optional payments will be ninety-eight (98%) percent of the average
of the mean of the high and low prices of the common stock, as published in The
Wall Street Journal - American Stock Exchange listings, for the five days in
which trading of such shares takes place, immediately prior to the applicable
investment date.

                                    SYNOPSIS

         This Prospectus relates to 1,000,000 shares of the common stock, $.01
par value per share ("Common Stock"), of PMC Capital being offered for sale
through PMC Capital, Inc.'s Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the
"Plan"). The minimum cash payment for the purchase of shares through the Plan
shall be $100.00. The Common Stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange
("AMEX"). On September 30, 1997, the closing price of the Common Stock on the
AMEX was $14.69.

         PMC Capital, Inc. ("PMC Capital" or "PMC" and, together with its wholly
owned regulated investment company subsidiaries, the "Company") is a
diversified, closed-end management investment company, that has elected to be
regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company
Act. The Company engages in the business of originating loans to small
businesses either directly or through its three principal subsidiaries: First
Western SBLC, Inc. ("First Western"), PMC Investment Corporation ("PMIC") and
Western Financial Capital Corporation ("Western Financial"). First Western, PMIC
and Western Financial are registered under the Investment Company Act as
diversified closed-end management investment companies. In addition, PMC Capital
is either directly or indirectly the sole shareholder or partner of PMC
Advisers, Ltd. ("PMC Advisers"), PMC Funding Corp. ("PMC Funding"), PMC Capital
Corp. 1996-A ("PMC Capital Corp."), PMC Trust 1996-A, and PMC Capital Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"). PMC Advisers is an investment advisor who
evaluates and services loans pursuant to a fee arrangement. First Western,
Western Financial and PMIC originate loans under loan guarantee and funding
programs sponsored by the Small Business Administration (the "SBA").
Additionally, PMC has originated non-SBA loans to small business concerns and
has sold operating equipment to small business concerns and individuals. The
Company's investment objective is to maximize earnings for distribution to
shareholders from interest income, loan servicing and other fees generated by
loans which it originates. PMC Capital has elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company and distributes substantially all its taxable income as
dividends to its shareholders, thereby incurring no Federal income tax liability
on such income.

         During the five years ended December 31, 1996, the Company originated
loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $353 million and sold
approximately $162 million aggregate principal amount of loans originated under
the SBA's 7(a) lending program ("SBA 7(a) Program Loans") into the secondary
market and approximately $25 million through a structured sale in 1994 and $46
million through a structured financing in 1996. For the three months ended March
31, 1997, the Company originated loans in the aggregate principal amount of
approximate $20.5 million and sold approximately $7.0 million of its SBA 7(a)
Program Loans in the secondary market. The Company has historically serviced
substantially all the loans that it originated and at March 31, 1997 had a
serviced loan portfolio outstanding of approximately $283 million. During the
same five year period, the Company's average annual loan losses have been
approximately 0.35% of its average loan portfolio.

</TABLE>

- ---------------------

(1)  The purpose of the above table, including the example, is to assist
     investors in understanding various costs and expenses that investors in the
     Company may bear directly or indirectly. See "Selected Consolidated
     Financial Data" and "Management." The table and the example are based on
     the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. THE HYPOTHETICAL 
     EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE 
     EXPENSES.  ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN IN THE
     TABLE AND THE EXAMPLE.

(2)  All costs of the Plan are borne by the Company and are included in the fees
     paid to the transfer agent for the monthly services provided thereby. Such
     expenses are reflected in "All Other Expenses" above.

(3)  Net assets attributable to common shares equals net assets (i.e., total
     assets less total liabilities and redeemable preferred stock outstanding)
     as of December 31, 1996.

(4)  The Company is internally managed and does not have an investment advisor.
     Accordingly, the Company directly incurs all costs with respect to the
     selection, research and supervision of all investments. For purposes of
     this Fund Expenses table, the Company has done an internal valuation of its
     expenses allocable to the research, selection and supervision of its
     investments. Management's good faith estimate of such costs is
     approximately $2.9 million, representing 4.44% of net assets attributable
     to common shares.



                                     -4-

<PAGE>   7

(5)  The Company had outstanding borrowings of $79.6 million at December 31, 
     1996.

(6)  Total Annual Expenses as a percentage of consolidated net assets
     attributable to common shares are higher than most closed-end management
     investment companies due to the Company's consolidated outstanding
     borrowings of $79.6 million and consolidated preferred stock of $7.0
     million at December 31, 1996, which significantly reduce the consolidated
     net assets attributable to common shares on which the Annual Expenses
     percentage is calculated. If the total annual expenses were calculated as a
     percentage of total assets, such percentage would be 6.34%.

</TABLE>


(1)       Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at the end
          of the year presented.

(2)       The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing
          indebtedness is calculated as the Company's consolidated total assets
          less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior
          securities, divided by senior securities representing indebtedness.
          This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by $1,000 to determine the
          Asset Coverage Per Unit. The asset coverage ratio for a class of
          senior securities that is preferred stock is calculated as the
          Company's consolidated total assets less all liabilities and
          indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by senior
          securities representing indebtedness, plus the involuntary liquidation
          preference of the preferred stock (see footnote 3). The Asset Coverage
          Per Unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share.

(3)       The amount to which such class of senior security would be entitled
          upon the voluntary liquidation of the issuer in preference to any
          security junior to it.

(4)       Not applicable, as senior securities are not registered for public
          trading.

(5)       Issued by the Company's small business investment company subsidiaries
          to the U. S. Small Business Administration. These categories of senior
          securities are not subject to the asset coverage requirements of the
          Investment Company Act.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         General. The Company's operations include originating and servicing
commercial loans for its own account as well as operating as an investment
advisor who evaluates and services loans under a fee arrangement for PMC
Commercial Trust ("PMC Commercial"), a Texas real estate investment trust and an
affiliate of PMC Capital. In addition, the Company sells the guaranteed portion
of its loans originated under the SBA's Section 7(a) Program (the "7(a)
Program") and in November 1996 securitized a portion of its fixed rate portfolio
as part of a structured financing (the "Structured Financing") as an additional
source of working capital. See "Business--Non Investment Company Subsidiaries."
Historically, the Company has retained servicing and residual interests in all
loans sold.

         The Company's revenue sources include the following:

         o        Interest earned on loans originated and retained including the
                  effect of commitment fees collected at the inception of the
                  loan (generally 3% on fixed rate loans).

         o        Advisory fee income from the management of PMC Commercial.

         o        Equity in the income of non-investment company subsidiaries.

         o        Premiums recognized from the sale of the government guaranteed
                  portion of 7(a) Program loans sold into the secondary market.

         o        Interest earned on temporary (short-term) investments.

         o        Other fees, including: late fees, prepayment fees,
                  construction monitoring and site visit fees.

         In order to generate revenues, PMC originates commercial loans. The
following table sets forth information concerning the aggregate gross loans
funded for the Company and the respective changes from previous years:

         In 1993, the Company formed a registered investment advisor, PMC
Advisers, which pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement acts
as the investment advisor for PMC Commercial. The Company's subsidiary, PMC
Advisers, has been the investment advisor for PMC Commercial since the
completion of PMC Commercial's public offering in December 1993 (see footnote 14
to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). During 1996 PMC Advisers
earned management fees of $1.6 million from PMC Commercial.

         The Company also earns income through its equity ownership in its
non-investment company subsidiaries, primarily the Partnership. In November 1996
the Partnership completed a private placement of approximately $40.7 million of
its Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes, Series 1996-A (the "Notes") which were issued
at par and have an interest rate of 6.725%. The Notes were originally
collateralized by approximately $45.7 million of loans contributed to the
Partnership by PMC Capital. The net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes,
approximately $37.5 million were distributed to PMC Capital and are being
utilized to originate additional loans. The differential between the interest
received on the collateralized loans (originally $45.7 million at an average
yield of 11.5%) and the interest paid on the Notes (originally $40.7 million at
6.725%), less any loan losses and amortization of transaction fees, will
contribute to the profit of PMC Capital.

         Due to the reduction of loan origination opportunities experienced by
First Western over the past several years, the Company has actively sought to
increase other sources of revenues and thereby reduce its reliance on the income
generated by First Western. During this period the Company's other lending
activities have increased and the Company has established other revenue sources
such as the investment advisory income.

         The Company has initiated a new marketing program and positioned itself
to add an additional lending program. Late in the fourth quarter of 1996 the
Company began marketing a variable rate lending program (the "Prime Lending
Program") which is separate from the 7(a) Program of First Western, the
Company's other variable rate lending program. The Prime Lending Program is
designed to refinance existing real estate secured commercial loans with
borrowers who have proven timely payment histories and loan-to-value and debt
coverage ratios within the Company's underwriting criteria. It is anticipated
that many of the loans refinanced under this program will originally have been
7(a) Program loans and that some of these loan originations may refinance loans
currently in First Western's portfolio. These loans will have variable interest
rates based on the Prime Rate (as defined below).

         Additionally, the Company has been approved as a licensee under the
Rural Economic Development Business and Industry Loan Program sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (the "B & I Loan Program"). Under the B & I Loan
Program, loans are to be originated in rural areas (generally city areas with a
population of less than 50,000) and are partially guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. The U.S. Government guarantees repayment of up to 80% of the
principal amount of loans originated under the B & I Loan Program.

         Substantially all of the First Western loans are variable rate which
reset quarterly based on a spread above the prime rate of interest as stated in
The Wall Street Journal on the first day 



                                      -11-
<PAGE>   14

of the applicable period ("Prime Rate"). The spread over the Prime Rate charged
by First Western ranges from 1.0% to 2.75%.

         Prime rates utilized by First Western were as follows:

Fourth Quarter        8.25%     8.75%     7.75%
</TABLE>

         Due to the decline in interest rates since 1995 and the increased
availability of either fixed rate loans or variable rate loans with interest
rates less than that on the outstanding portfolio of First Western, prepayments
have increased.

         The Company experienced a 9% decrease in loans originated from $77.6
million during the year ended December 31, 1995 to $70.2 million during the year
ended December 31, 1996. This origination reduction is due in significant part
to increased competition. In management's opinion, there has been an increasing
amount of competitor lending activity at advance rates and interest rates which
are considerably more aggressive than those offered by the Company. In order to
maintain a quality portfolio, the Company will continue to adhere to its
historical underwriting criteria, and as a result, certain loan origination
opportunities will not be funded by the Company. The Company has instituted the
Prime Lending Program to attract those established seasoned small business
lending opportunities which merit lower interest rates. The yield on these loans
(assuming no change in the Prime Rate) will be lower than the Company has
historically experienced.

         As a result of its working capital requirements for loan originations
as well as holding borrowers advances and cash reserves for its completed
securitizations or structured financings, the Company has temporary short-term
investments. In order to minimize its short-term investment positions, the
Company may enter into a bank warehouse facility and anticipates greater
utilization of its revolving credit facility.

         The Company receives other investment income from various sources
including late fees, prepayment fees, construction monitoring and site visit
fees. The net amount of other investment income earned during 1996 was $608,000.
The amount earned will vary based on volume funded, the mix of loans
(construction versus non-construction), the rate on loans originated (whether
fixed or floating) as well as the general level of interest rates.

         Expenses primarily consist of interest expense and company overhead.
Expenses were 44% of total income during the year ended December 31, 1996
compared to 45% during the year ended December 31, 1995.



                                      -12-
<PAGE>   15

         Interest expense was $5.7 million during 1996. Interest expense is
primarily derived from (i) $35 million of unsecured notes with a weighted
average interest rate of 7.3% and weighted average remaining maturity of 4.8
years as of December 31, 1996, and (ii) $44,570,000 of debentures due to the SBA
as a result of borrowings made by the Company's SBIC subsidiaries, with a
weighted average interest rate of 6.9% and weighted average remaining maturity
of 5.7 years as of December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no
borrowings outstanding pursuant to its revolving credit facility, and had
availability of $15 million. Any borrowings thereunder would bear interest at a
rate based on either the prime rate or LIBOR.

         Company overhead was $4.7 million in 1996 and is comprised of salaries
and related benefits, general and administrative, profit sharing plan, rent,
legal and accounting, SBA fees and directors and shareholders expense. The
Company's operations are centralized from its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. The
Company presently has other marketing offices located in Hollywood, Florida,
Atlanta, Georgia and Phoenix, Arizona. The largest overhead expense is the
salaries and related benefits which consist of salaries for the Company's
officers and employees who provide for all of the Company's management and
portfolio functions including marketing, servicing, accounting and portfolio
analysis. Salaries and related benefits were 13% of total income during each of
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. It is anticipated that overhead will
continue to increase as the Company's portfolio under management increases.

         General and administrative expenditures consist primarily of the Texas
franchise and other taxes, advertising and promotional expense, telephone
services, corporate printing costs and general office expenses. General and
administrative expenses were 4% of total income during the year ended December
31, 1996 compared to 5% during the year ended December 31, 1995. These costs are
anticipated to increase in proportion to the growth of the Company's portfolio
under management. The largest component of general and administrative expense,
the Texas franchise tax, is currently being reviewed by the Texas legislature
with significant modifications being considered. During the year ended December
31, 1996, the Company expensed $197,000 relating to the Texas franchise tax.

         Profit sharing plan, rent, legal and accounting, SBA fees and directors
and shareholders expense (collectively the "Other Administrative Costs")
aggregated $723,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Other
Administrative Costs were 3% of total income for each of the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995. These costs are anticipated to increase in
proportion to the increase in salaries and general administrative expense as a
result of the anticipated growth of the Company's portfolio under management.

         In 1994, PMIC filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to register shares of its common stock. The Company incurred
approximately $136,000 in costs in connection with the filing of this
registration statement. PMIC, a licensed specialized small business investment
company, uses long-term funds provided by the SBA through the issuance of
debentures (which are guaranteed by the SBA and on which the interest rate is
reduced through a SBA subsidy by 3% during the first five years). Based on the
lack of availability of SBA subsidized debentures or preferred stock the 
registration was suspended.  



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   16

Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company expensed the
costs of registration.

CERTAIN ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

         In accordance with its business and financing strategy, the Company
sells the guaranteed portions of its SBA loans while retaining servicing rights.
A portion of the Company's revenue is recognized from the premium on the sale of
loans, which principally represents either cash received or an excess servicing
spread. The excess servicing spread is calculated as the present value of the
difference between the interest rate charged by the Company to a borrower and
the interest rate paid to the investors who purchased the loan (adjusted for
prepayment assumptions) to the extent that this difference exceeds the normal
loan servicing fees (the "Excess Servicing Spread"). At the time of sale, the
value of the Excess Servicing Spread is reported as income and concurrently
recorded as a corresponding asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheet
(the "Excess Servicing Asset").

         During the first quarter of 1995, the Company completed a reassessment
of the method used to amortize the Excess Servicing Asset. Historically, the
Company had amortized the Excess Servicing Asset based upon the estimated life
for each loan at the time of sale, expectation of prepayments and other
considerations. When a loan was paid in full, the remaining unamortized Excess
Servicing Asset, if any, was charged against income. Considering the above
factors and the Company's historical portfolio performance, the Company extended
to the expected remaining life of the related loans, on a pooled basis, the
period over which the remaining Excess Servicing Asset would be amortized for
loans originated and sold prior to January 1, 1995. The Excess Servicing Asset
is amortized on an accelerated method over the estimated remaining lives of the
related assets. There can be no assurance of the accuracy of management's
prepayment estimates. If prepayments occur at a faster rate than expected, the
amortization of the Excess Servicing Asset will be accelerated as a charge to
earnings. If actual prepayments occur at a slower rate than estimated, cash
flows from the Excess Servicing Spread would exceed previously expected amounts
and total income in future periods would be enhanced. Management will evaluate
on an ongoing basis the future benefit anticipated from the Excess Servicing
Asset. If it is determined the future benefit is impaired, the Company will
reflect the impairment as a charge to earnings during the period evaluated. To
the extent future Excess Servicing Spread exceeds the estimated amortization of
the Excess Servicing Asset pertaining to these loans, additional revenues will
be recognized.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

         Interest income increased by $2,241,000 (14%) from $16,330,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, to $18,571,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the Company's
portfolio. The average loan portfolio outstanding during the year ended December
31, 1996 was $124.9 million, a 33% increase from $94.1 million in the comparable
period of 1995. Accordingly, interest income on loans increased by $3,076,000
(21%) from $14,428,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995, to
$17,504,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996. Average temporary
investments 



                                      -14-
<PAGE>   17

outstanding during the year ended December 31, 1996 were $21.3 million, a 34%
decrease from $32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Accordingly,
interest income on temporary investments decreased by $835,000 (44%) from
$1,902,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 to $1,067,000 during the year
ended December 31, 1996.

         Premium income decreased by $905,000 (32%) from $2,847,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, to $1,942,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a 33% decrease in the guaranteed
portion of loans held for sale or sold (under the 7(a) Program) during the year
ended December 31, 1996 ($20.0 million) as compared to the year ended December
31, 1995 ($29.9 million).

         Other investment income, net, increased by $240,000 (65%) from $368,000
for the year ended December 31, 1995, to $608,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $200,000 in
fees received on loans which prepaid during the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company experienced a greater
number of loan prepayments in 1996 as compared to 1995 because of the general
decline in interest rates and the increased competition for financing in the
lodging industry.

         Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased by
$447,000, from a loss of $78,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 to
income of $369,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase is
primarily due to the formation of the Partnership in November 1996 which had net
profits of $328,000. The Partnership profits include all yield generated from
the loans contributed by PMC Capital less the cost of the Notes issued by the
Partnership. The net income from the Partnership included $80,000 in fees
received on prepaid loans. In addition, PMC Funding realized an increase in
revenues from charter services of its airplane which resulted in a change in
profits from a loss of $78,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 to a
profit of $41,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996.

         Other income, net, increased by $536,000 (30%) from $1,795,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1995, to $2,331,000 during the year ended December
31, 1996. This increase was primarily a result of investment management fees
generated by PMC Advisers which increased by approximately $400,000 (33%) from
$1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1995 to $1.6 million during the
year ended December 31, 1996.

         Operating expenses, excluding interest, increased by $255,000 (6%) from
$4,492,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995, to $4,747,000 during the
year ended December 31, 1996. This increase was a result of an increase in
salaries and related benefits of $402,000 (15%) from $2,778,000 during the year
ended December 31, 1995, to $3,180,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996.
The increase in salaries and related benefits was a result of increased number
of employees (due to the increase in portfolio under management and the
complexity of the financing transactions undertaken by the Company), and a
general increase in the level of salaries for employees during 1996. This
increase was offset partially by a $210,000 decrease in administrative and
general costs. During the third quarter of 1995, the Company expensed
approximately $106,000 of costs pertaining to its decision not to pursue an
offering of common 



                                      -15-
<PAGE>   18

stock of PMIC. Also, the Company had reductions in advertising, telephone and
travel expenses when comparing the year ended December 31, 1996 to the year
ended December 31, 1995. Advertising reductions were due to fewer newspaper ad
placements, telephone reductions were due to a change in long distance carriers
and travel reductions were due to increased use of PMC Funding's airplane.

         Interest expense increased by $659,000 (13%) from $5,049,000 during the
year ended December 31, 1995 to $5,708,000 during the year ended December 31,
1996. The increase was primarily attributable to: (i) the interest expense on
approximately $17.3 million of SBA debentures which were issued or assumed
during the year ended December 31, 1995 by PMIC and Western Financial, (ii) the
assumption of $1,030,000 of SBA debentures in June 1996, (iii) the scheduled
increase in the interest rate of $2.0 million of PMIC's SBA debentures during
June 1995 and (iv) the issuance of $10.0 million of unsecured notes by PMC
Capital in April 1995.

         Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments changed from a loss
of $359,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 to a loss of $147,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in the aggregate losses on a
dollar amount and a percentage basis was due to continued steady performance of
the lodging portion of the portfolio. In addition, to the extent loans were
deemed non-performing or were liquidated or foreclosed upon, the percentage
recovery has generally been substantial due to the high concentration of real
estate collateral on such loans. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on
investments as a percentage of average loans receivable for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 0.12% and 0.38%, respectively.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

         Interest income increased by $4,378,000 (37%) from $11,952,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994, to $16.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1995. This increase was primarily attributable to: (i) the growth in the
Company's portfolio from $75.3 million at December 31, 1994 to $110.5 million at
December 31, 1995, (ii) the increased yield on First Western's loan portfolio as
a result of an increase in the Prime Rate and (iii) the increased interest
earned on temporary investments from funds received on the securitization and
structured sale of assets during December 1994 which were placed in short-term
investments until loans were funded.

         Premium income increased by $119,000 (4%) from $2,728,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994, to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The premium income increased even though the volume of loans sold decreased by
$2.7 million, or 8%, from $33.0 million during the year ended December 31, 1994
to $30.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase in
premium income was primarily attributable to the increased demand for these SBA
loan products by the secondary market. The increased demand was a result of
stabilized interest rates and the decrease in the prime rate in July 1995.
Accordingly, the premium on individual loans sold increased. The premium derived
from the secondary market is directly related to the term of the loan.



                                      -16-
<PAGE>   19

         Other investment income, net, increased by $65,000 (21%) from $303,000
for the year ended December 31, 1994, to $368,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to forfeited deposits and
prepayment penalties.

         Other income, net, increased by $328,000 (22%) from $1,467,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1994, to $1,795,000 during the year ended December
31, 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the investment management
fees generated by PMC Advisers.

         Operating expenses, not including interest, increased by $529,000 (13%)
from $3,963,000 during the year ended December 31, 1994, to $4,492,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1995. Included in operating expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1995, are $136,000 pertaining to the aggregate of costs of
the PMIC registration statement. This increase was also primarily attributable
to: (i) increased staff and general overhead necessary to manage the increased
portfolio of the Company, (ii) the operations of PMC Advisers and (iii)
increases in state franchise tax expense.

         Interest expense increased by $1,434,000 (40%) from $3,615,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1994, to $5,049,000 during the year ended December
31, 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to: (i) the interest expense
on $23,260,000 in SBA debentures issued or assumed between September 1994 and
September 1995 by PMIC and Western Financial, (ii) the scheduled increase in
interest rate on $5,000,000 of PMIC's SBA debentures during the first half of
1995 and (iii) the issuance of $10,000,000 of senior notes by PMC Capital on
April 19, 1995.

         Due to First Western's securitization and structured sale of assets,
during the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company recognized a $3,346,000
gain. This gain represented the difference between the proceeds from the sale of
these assets plus the present value of the difference between the interest
charged to the borrowers and the interest paid to the purchasers less the
carrying value of the assets (including discounts from the application of
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force 88-11)
and an allowance for credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 1995 the
Company did not complete any securitization and structured sale, and did not
have any comparable gain recognized. Not including the aforementioned gain,
realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments has increased by $163,000
(83%) from a loss of $196,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, to a loss of
$359,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase in loss is
attributable primarily to a greater number of loans presently in the process of
liquidation during 1995. Based on updated area demographics, appraisals and the
condition of the collateral properties, valuation reserves were increased.
However, loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1995 continued at an
annualized rate of approximately 0.39% of average outstanding loans receivable,
primarily attributable to: (i) minimal losses incurred in the Company's largest
industry concentration (the lodging industry), (ii) continued monitoring
efforts, (iii) the strong economy and (iv) the low interest rates over the
previous several years.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

         The Company generated $14.1 million and $12.9 million from operating
activities during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase of $1.2 million (9.0%) was primarily attributable to the increase in
net income from $11.4 million during 1995 to $13.2 million during 1996. Included
in cash flows from operating activities is the lending activity of First Western
relating to the government guaranteed portion of loans originated which are sold
into the secondary market ("Government Guaranteed Lending"). During the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company used net cash of $1,927,000 and
$169,000, respectively, from Government Guaranteed Lending activities.

         The Company used $25.9 million and $31.9 million from investing
activities during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company increased its use of funds for loans originated by $800,000 from $47.1
million during the year ended December 31, 1995 to $48.2 million during the year
ended December 31, 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1996 principal
collected was $22.6 million as compared to $10.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 1995. This increase of $11.8 million (110%) was primarily due to an
increase in prepayments on larger principal balance fixed rate loans during 1996
primarily in the portfolios of PMC Capital and PMIC and increased prepayment
activity on the variable rate portfolio of First Western (which loans have no
prepayment fees). Also included as proceeds from investing activity are the
proceeds from maturities of government securities ($8.9 million) and purchases
of $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 1995 for which there were no
comparable transactions during the year ended December 31, 1996.

         The Company generated $30.4 million from financing activities during
the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $16.9 million during the year
ended December 31, 1995. The source of funds in 1995 were primarily from the
issuance of $25 million in debt, $2 million in preferred stock of PMIC and $1.4
million from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment plan ("DRP Stock Issuance"). The source of funds in 1996 was
primarily the net proceeds from the issuance of Notes by the Partnership ($37.5
million) which were distributed to PMC Capital and $2.8 million from DRP Stock
Issuances. Dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 1996 were $11.9
million as compared to $11.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $700,000 (6.0%).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The primary use of the Company's funds is to originate loans, and from
time to time, the Company may use funds to acquire loans from governmental
agencies and/or their agents. The Company also uses funds for the payment of
financing costs, dividends to shareholders, general and administrative expenses,
capital expenditures, advances on loan liquidations and payments of principal
due on borrowing facilities. Approximately $2.5 million of the Company's SBA
debentures became payable in February 1997 and were paid in full. As a regulated
investment company, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Company
is required to pay out substantially all of its net investment company taxable
income to the common shareholders. To sustain growth in the size of its 
investment portfolio, the Company continually reviews the need 



                                      -18-
<PAGE>   21

for obtaining additional funds from either (i) debt offerings and additional
credit facilities, (ii) securitization and sale of a portion of the loan
portfolio and/or (iii) equity offerings. Historically, the Company's primary
sources of capital and liquidity have been debentures issued through programs of
the SBA, private and public issuances of common stock, the issuance of senior
unsecured notes, the securitization and sale of its loan portfolio and the
utilization of its short-term, uncollaterialized revolving credit facility.

         Loan commitments outstanding at December 31, 1996 to various
prospective small business companies, including the unfunded portion of projects
in the construction phase, amounted to approximately $45.9 million. Of these
commitments, $6.6 million were for loans partially guaranteed by the SBA of
which approximately $5.0 million will be sold into the secondary market. Such
commitments are made in the ordinary course of the Company's business.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided that
the terms established in the contract are met. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates and require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire
without the proposed loan closing, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.

         In order to meet its working capital requirements and increase the size
of its investment portfolio, during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
the Company has completed the following leverage transactions:

<PAGE>   22

(3)      Fixed rate loan-backed notes issued by the Partnership (see footnote 15
         to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

     PMC has a $15 million uncollaterialized revolving credit facility which
expires May 1998. Advances pursuant to the credit facility bear interest at the
Company's option at the bank's prime rate less 50 basis points or the London
Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 175 basis points. The credit facility
requires the Company to meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which
includes that the ratio of net charge-offs to net loans receivable will not
exceed 2%, and the ratio of assets to senior debt (as defined in the note
agreement) will not fall below 150%. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no
balance outstanding on this credit facility. At December 31, 1996, the Company
was in compliance with all covenants of this facility.

     Due to changes in the SBIC program to the cost and availability of SBA
debentures and preferred stock (see "Business -- Overview of SBA Regulations"),
the Company has utilized other sources of funds to expand its loan portfolio.
The cost and terms of these other sources of funds will not be as favorable as
those historically achieved on SBA debentures; however, the Company has been
able to issue debt through the private placement of notes and receive working
capital through securitization and sale of a portion of its portfolio. If
additional funds are required, the Company would attempt to either issue
additional unsecured notes, privately or publicly raise equity and/or securities
and structure a sale of a portion of either the unguaranteed portion of SBA
loans or the portfolio of PMC, Western Financial and/or PMIC. Management
believes that through utilization of one or more of these sources of debt or
equity capital, the Company should meets its liquidity needs for the foreseeable
future.

     PMC Capital is in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum of
200% asset coverage of debt as defined in sections 18 and 61 of the Investment
Company Act as modified by exemptive orders obtained by the Company from the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122 "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights," an amendment of SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for
Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to require that an entity recognize as
separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how
such servicing is acquired. SFAS No. 122 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The effects on operations and financial
condition of implementing SFAS No. 122, in management's opinion, is not
considered significant.

     In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfer and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." Those
standards have been established to provide a consistent application of
accounting based on a financial-components approach which distinguishes the
transfer of financial assets that are sales from those that are secured
borrowings. This approach is based upon control of the related assets, whereby
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, and
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered


                                     -20-
<PAGE>   23

and liabilities are extinguished. SFAS No. 125 is
effective for transfer and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and may only be applied
prospectively.

     In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS
No. 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 is designed to improve the earnings per share
information provided in financial statements by simplifying the existing
computational guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements and increasing
the comparability of earnings per share data. SFAS No. 128 is effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. In the opinion
of management, the effect of this pronouncement on earnings per share is not
considered significant.

     In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
About Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 requires certain disclosure about an
entity's capital structure. SFAS No. 129 is effective for financial statements
for periods ending after December 15, 1997. In the opinion of management, the
effect of this pronouncement on the Company's financial position or results of
operation is not considered significant.

                            DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following is a description of the provisions of the Dividend
Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan of PMC Capital in question and answer
format:


                                    PURPOSE

     1.       What is the purpose of the Plan?

     The Plan offers participants ("Participants") a convenient and economical
way to purchase PMC Capital's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"). Once a Participant is enrolled in the Plan, cash dividends
will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock (both whole and fractional
shares). Participants pay no brokerage commissions for purchases made under the
Plan. Purchases of shares of Common Stock under the Plan will provide the
Company with funds to be applied toward general corporate purposes.


                                   ADVANTAGES

     2.       What are the advantages of the Plan?

     Shareholders may participate in the Plan by having cash dividends on all,
or a portion of their shares of Common Stock automatically reinvested.
Participants are not required to pay any brokerage commissions in connection
with purchases made under the Plan and shares acquired under the Plan are
purchased at a 2% discount from the market price. A full investment of funds is
possible under the Plan because fractions of shares of Common Stock, as well as
full shares of Common Stock, will be credited to Participants' Plan accounts
including dividends on these shares. Participants will avoid the cumbersome
safekeeping of certificates for shares of Common Stock credited to their Plan
accounts as the shares of Common Stock are held in custody for Participants by
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("American Stock Transfer"). Statements
of Participants' Plan accounts will be provided monthly.


                                 ADMINISTRATION

     3.       Who administers the Plan?

     PMC Capital is the Plan Administrator. American Stock Transfer is the
agent for the Company and acts as custodian for the shares held in the Plan and
purchases shares of Common Stock as the Participants' agent. American Stock
Transfer will keep a record of each Participant's participation and will send
monthly statements of each Participant's Plan account. Shares of Common Stock
purchased under the Plan will be registered in the name of American Stock
Transfer, as agent for Participants in the Plan, and not in the name of the
Participant. If American Stock Transfer ceases to serve as agent, its success
will be designated by PMC 



                                     -22-
<PAGE>   25

Capital. At the option of the Company, the shares of
Common Stock purchased under the Plan on behalf of Participant will be newly
issued by PMC Capital, issued from treasury stock or purchased in the open
market by American Stock Transfer as agent for the Participant.

     4.       Who interprets and regulates the Plan?

     PMC Capital reserves the right to interpret and regulate the Plan as
deemed desirable or necessary. PMC Capital, American Stock Transfer or an agent
administering the Plan, will not be liable for any act done in good faith or
for any omission to act in good faith, including, without limitation, any claim
of liability arising out of a failure to terminate a Participant's account upon
the Participant's death prior to receipt of written notice of the death (unless
the Company is deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the federal
securities laws, in which case the Company cannot be so excluded from
liability). Such exclusion of liability to American Stock Transfer or any other
agent of PMC Capital does not affect any liability of PMC Capital.

     Participants should recognize that PMC Capital cannot assure them of a
profit or protect them against a loss on the shares of Common Stock purchased
under the Plan.

     5. May the Plan be modified or discontinued?

     PMC Capital reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate the Plan at
any time. Any suspension, major modification or termination of the Plan will be
announced by PMC Capital to all Plan Participants.


                                 PARTICIPATION

     6. Who is eligible to participate in the Plan?

     Subject to the limitations designated below, all shareholders of record
are eligible to join the Plan. In order to be eligible to participate,
beneficial owners of Common Stock whose shares are registered in names other
than their own (e.g., in the name of a broker or a bank nominee) must become
shareholders of record by having their shares of Common Stock transferred into
their names. Beneficial owners may request the record holders of their shares
of Common Stock to participate on their behalf in the dividend reinvestment
feature of the Plan; however, only holders of record may participate in the
optional cash payment feature of the Plan. In the event a Participant's account
shall have fewer than 15 shares of Common Stock, PMC Capital shall have the
option, but not the obligation, to terminate the Participant's account. In the
event a Participant's account is terminated by PMC Capital, a certificate for
whole shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Participant and the
Participant's fractional shares of Common Stock shall be sold (see Question
Nos. 21, 22 and 23).

<PAGE>   26

                         PARTICIPATION BY SHAREHOLDERS

         7. How does a shareholder of record participate?

         Shareholders of record may join the Plan at any time by completing the
Authorization Form and returning it to American Stock Transfer. Authorization
Forms will be furnished to shareholders at any time upon request made to
American Stock Transfer (1-800-278-4353).

         8.       When will dividends be invested?

         If the Authorization Form is received by American Stock Transfer on or
before the dividend record date, then the dividend will be used to purchase
additional shares of Common Stock for a Participant on the dividend payment
date. The dividend declaration date is the date on which the Board of Directors
of PMC Capital decides whether a dividend should be paid and in what amount. If
the Authorization Form is received after the record date, a Participant's
purchase will not start until the next quarterly dividend payment date. The
dividend record dates are generally on the last business day of each calendar
quarter in which the AMEX is open for trading. Quarterly dividends are paid
approximately two weeks following the dividend record date.

         9. How are optional cash payments made and invested?

         Optional cash payments are invested on the fifth business day of each
month. Optional cash payments should be sent so that they are received by
American Stock Transfer at least five business days before a purchase date. Any
optional cash payments received later than a purchase date will be held by
American Stock Transfer and applied to the next purchase date, unless the
shareholder requests, in writing, to American Stock Transfer the return of such
payment.

         Participants do not receive any interest on the amounts held by
American Stock Transfer pending investment.

         Participants may not send less than $50 per payment nor more than
$5,000 per calendar month, provided that if a Participant sends less than $50 or
more than $5,000, American Stock Transfer will refund the entire amount to him
or her.

         10. Are shareholders enrolled in the Plan required to send in a new
Authorization Form annually?

         No. Shareholders are enrolled in the Plan without further action on
their part, unless the Participant gives notice to the Plan Administrator in
writing that he or she wishes to terminate participation (see Question Nos. 21
and 22 for information concerning termination of participation in the Plan). A
shareholder may also submit a new Authorization Form to change the portion of
cash dividends that are to be issued in the form of Common Stock, provided that
such an election must be submitted to the Plan Administrator prior to a dividend
record date in order to be effective for the corresponding dividend payment date
(presently quarterly).

                                     -24-
<PAGE>   27

         11.      What does the Authorization Form provide?

         The Authorization Form allows a Participant to decide the extent to
which such Participant wants to participate in the Plan. By checking the
appropriate box on the Authorization Form, a Participant may indicate whether he
wants to:

                  (a) Reinvest dividends paid on all shares of Common Stock
registered in a Participant's name;

                  (b) Reinvest dividends paid on a portion of Common Stock
registered in a Participant's name; or

                  (c) Invest amounts exceeding $50 by making optional payments
at any time up to an aggregate of FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000) per
calendar month.


                                   PURCHASES

         12. How many shares of Common Stock will be purchased for Participants?

         The number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased depends on the
amount of the Participant's dividends credited to the Participant's account
under the Plan or the amount of any optional payments and the purchase price of
the shares of Common Stock. Each Participant's account will be credited with
that number of shares, including fractions computed to four decimal places,
equal to the total amount to be invested divided by the applicable purchase
price.

         13. What is the price of the new shares of Common Stock?

         The price of shares of Common Stock bought with cash dividends or
optional payments will be ninety-eight (98%) percent of the average for the mean
of the high and low prices of Common Stock, as published in the Wall Street
Journal - American Stock Exchange listings, for the five days in which trading
of shares of Common Stock takes place immediately prior to the applicable
purchase date (the related dividend payment date).

         14. Are any fees or expenses incurred by Participants?

         Participants will pay no brokerage commissions for purchases made under
the Plan. Certain charges (see Question 22) may be incurred by Participants if
they withdraw from the Plan or if the Plan is terminated by the Company.


                                     -25-
<PAGE>   28

                            REPORTS TO PARTICIPANTS

         15. How will Participants be advised of their purchases of shares of
Common Stock?

         As soon as practicable, Participants will receive monthly statements of
their purchases and accounts. These statements are Participants' continuing
records of the cost of their purchases and should be retained for tax purposes.
In addition, Participants will receive copies of the same communications sent to
other shareholders, including PMC Capital's annual report, interim reports,
notice of annual meeting and proxy statement, and income tax information.

         Participants should notify American Stock Transfer (attn: Dividend
Reinvestment) of any change in address or duplicate mailings, so that American
Stock Transfer can consolidate their accounts and simplify their tax reporting.


                                   DIVIDENDS

         16. Will Participants be credited with dividends on shares of Common
Stock held in their accounts under the Plan?

         Yes. The Company pays dividends, as declared, to the record holders of
its shares of Common Stock. As the record holder for Participants, American
Stock Transfer, as agent, will receive dividends for all Plan shares held on the
record date. It will credit these dividends to Participants on the basis of full
and fractional shares of Common Stock held in their accounts, and will reinvest
these dividends in additional shares of Common Stock.


                                  CERTIFICATES

         17. Will stock certificates be issued for shares of Common Stock
purchased?

         Normally, certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased under the
Plan will not be issued to Participants. The number of shares of Common Stock
credited to accounts under the Plan will be shown on Participants' monthly
statements. This additional service protects against loss, theft or destruction
of stock certificates. The shares of Common Stock will be owned for record
purposes by American Stock Transfer until certificates are issued to a
Participant upon a Participant's written request.

         Certificates for any number of whole shares of Common Stock up to the
full number of shares of Common Stock credited to Participants' Plan accounts
will be issued upon written request to American Stock Transfer (see Question
22). Any remaining full shares of Common Stock and fractional shares of Common
Stock will continue to be credited to Participants' accounts.


                                     -26-
<PAGE>   29

         Shares of Common Stock credited to the accounts of Participants under
the Plan may not be pledged. Participants who wish to pledge such shares of
Common Stock must request that certificates for such shares of Common Stock be
issued in their names. Certificates for fractional shares of Common Stock will
not be issued under any circumstances.

         18. In whose name will accounts be maintained and certificates
registered when issued?

         Accounts for Participants will be maintained in the Participants' names
as shown on PMC Capital's shareholder records at the time the Participants join
the Plan. Certificates for whole shares of Common Stock will be so registered
when issued, except in instances such as death. Upon written request,
certificates can also be registered and issued in names other than the account
name, subject to compliance with any applicable laws and the payment by the
Participants of any applicable taxes, provided that the request bears the
signatures of the Participants and the signatures are guaranteed by a commercial
bank or member firm of AMEX.


                          CHANGING INVESTMENT OPTIONS

         19. How do Participants change their investment option?

         Participants may change their investment option at any time by
completing a new Authorization Form. New Authorization Forms may be obtained by
submitting a written request to American Stock Transfer. A Participant's request
will become effective as soon as practicable after the Authorization Form is
received by American Stock Transfer.

         20. May PMC Capital elect not to issue shares of Common Stock under the
Plan?

         PMC Capital reserves the right to terminate or modify the Plan at any
time (see Question 29) or direct the Agent not to acquire shares of Common Stock
under the Plan. Moreover, if at any time the value of the shares to be issued
(taking into account the 2% discount) is less than the current net asset value
of Common Stock (which net asset value shall be determined within forty-eight
hours, excluding Sundays and holidays next preceding the time of such
determination), then that dividend will be paid in cash.


                           WITHDRAWING FROM THE PLAN

         21. May Participants withdraw all or a portion of their shares of
Common Stock from the Plan?

         Yes. The Plan is entirely voluntary and Participants may withdraw at 
any time, by completing the account correspondence stub attached to the monthly
statement, or by forwarding a written request to American Stock Transfer for a
full or partial withdrawal. Withdrawing



                                     -27-
<PAGE>   30

Participants may request either that their shares of Common Stock be
sold and the cash proceeds forwarded to them or request that certificates be
issued to them.

         22. How do Participants withdraw all or a portion of their shares of
Common Stock from the Plan?

         In order to withdraw from the Plan, Participants must notify American
Stock Transfer in writing that they wish to withdraw. Written notice should be
addressed to American Stock Transfer. Written notice may also be provided by
completing the reverse side of the account correspondence stub of the monthly
statement and returning it to American Stock Transfer.

         If a Participant requests a partial withdrawal, he must specify that
American Stock Transfer either sell the full shares of Common Stock designated
or issue a certificate for any number of whole shares of Common Stock credited
to his Plan account.

         If a Participant requests a full withdrawal, he must specify that
American Stock Transfer sell all of his shares of Common Stock or issue a
certificate for any number of whole shares credited to his Plan account.

         If a Participant requests his shares of Common Stock to be sold,
American Stock Transfer will place a market order to sell as soon as practicable
after receipt of his request. The Participant will receive the proceeds of the
sale less any brokerage commission and any transfer tax. This will include cash
proceeds for any fraction of a share of Common Stock.

         If a Participant's request for withdrawal or sale of shares of Common
Stock is received by American Stock Transfer prior to the fifth business day
after the record date, the amount of the dividend which would otherwise have
been invested on the next investment date will be paid in cash as soon as
practicable to the withdrawing Participant. If such request is received by
American Stock Transfer on or after the fifth business day after the record
date, then it will be processed as soon as practicable after the dividend
payment date. Thereafter, all dividends will be paid in cash. Any eligible
shareholder may elect to re-enroll in the Plan at any time.

         23. What happens to fractions of shares of Common Stock when
Participants withdraw from the Plan?

         When Participants withdraw from the Plan, cash payments representing
any fractions of shares of Common Stock will be mailed directly to the
Participants. The cash payment price will be based on the current market price
of the Common Stock less any brokerage commission and transfer tax on the date
the withdrawal notice is received by American Stock Transfer. If that date is
not a trading day, the next previous trading day will be substituted (see
Questions 21 and 22).

                               OTHER INFORMATION

         24. What happens when Participants sell or transfer all of the shares
of Common Stock registered in their names?

         If Participants dispose of all shares of Common Stock registered in
their names, PMC Capital will, unless otherwise instructed by the Participants,
continue to reinvest the dividends on the shares of Common Stock credited to
their Plan accounts.

         25. What happens if PMC Capital issues a stock dividend, declares a
stock split, or has a rights offering?

         Any shares of Common Stock distributed by PMC Capital as a stock
dividend on shares of Common Stock credited to Participants' Plan accounts, or
on any split of their shares of Common Stock, will be credited to their Plan
accounts. In a rights offering, Participants' entitlements will be based on
their total holdings, including those credited to their Plan accounts. Rights
applicable to shares of Common Stock credited to their Plan accounts, however,
will be sold by American Stock Transfer. The proceeds will be credited to
Participants' Plan accounts and applied to purchase shares of Common Stock on
the next investment date.

         26. What happens if PMC Capital makes the right to purchase additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities available to its shareholders?

         In the event that PMC Capital makes available to its shareholders (1)
rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or (2) any securities of
any other class of PMC Capital, then the Plan Administrator will afford to
Participants the opportunity to exercise any such rights or warrants accruing to
the whole shares of Common Stock credited to the Participants' Plan accounts.

         27. How will Participant's shares of Common Stock be voted at meetings
of shareholders?

         The Participants will receive proxy cards covering the total number of
whole shares of Common Stock credited to the Participants' Plan accounts. The
Plan Administrator will vote any whole shares of Common Stock that it holds for
Participants in accordance with the proxies returned by the Participants to PMC
Capital. If a proxy card is returned properly signed, but without indicating
instructions as to the manner shares are to be voted with respect to any item
thereon, the shares of Common Stock covered will be voted in accordance with the
recommendations of PMC Capital's management. If a proxy card is not returned, or
it is returned unexecuted or improperly executed, the shares of Common Stock
covered will not be voted unless the Participant or the Participant's duly
appointed representative votes in person at the meeting. Participants will
continue to receive separate proxy cards for any other whole shares of Common
Stock registered in the Participants' names.

         28. What are the responsibilities of the Plan Administrator under the
Plan?

         The Plan Administrator shall not be liable under the Plan for any act
done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without
limitation, any claim of liability (1) arising out of any such act or omission
to act which occurs prior to the termination of participation and (2) with
respect to the prices at which shares of Common Stock are issued to
Participants' accounts. Participants should recognize that neither PMC Capital
nor the Plan Administrator can assure Participants of profits, or protect
Participants against losses, on shares issued and/or held under the Plan.

         29. May the Plan be changed or discontinued?

         PMC Capital reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend or terminate
the Plan at any time. Notice of any such modification shall be furnished to
Participants at least fifteen (15) days prior to the dividend record date for
which the amendment shall be effective. In such event, PMC Capital as Plan
Administrator will follow the procedures for termination set forth in Question
21.

         30. Where should correspondence regarding the Plan be sent?

         Any notice, instruction, request or election which by any provision of

         32.      Can successor Plan Administrator(s) be named?

         PMC Capital may, from time to time, designate a bank or trust company
as successor Plan Administrator under the Plan.

         33.      What law governs the Plan?

         The terms and conditions of the Plan and its operation are governed by
the laws of the State of Florida.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

         The net proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock purchased from
PMC Capital from time to time will be used for general corporate purposes, which
may include lending such proceeds in accordance with the Company's underwriting
criteria.


                             CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

         In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the
following factors should be carefully considered in evaluating an investment in
the Common Stock.

         Credit Risks of Loans and Portfolio Diversification. The Company's
lending business is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, the
risk that borrowers will not satisfy their debt service obligations and the risk
that the value of the collateral securing a liquidated loan is less than the
principal amount of such loan. In addition, since the Company's borrowers are
small businesses with more limited financial resources than larger, more
established companies, the Company may assume a greater risk of loss than might
otherwise be the case if it had focused on lending to larger companies. The
Company attempts to reduce its risk of loss by evaluating each borrower's
creditworthiness and the value of the collateral securing each loan; by limiting
the maximum amount loaned to any single borrower; by taking security interests
in assets, including real property, of the borrower and, in certain cases,
parties related to the borrower; and by obtaining personal guarantees.

         The Company has relatively high levels of loans to the lodging industry
(approximately 44% of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 1996).
Pursuant to a change in the emphasis of the Company's investment strategy, the
Company's investments in the lodging industry have increased while the
percentage of its investments in the health care field have decreased. In
consideration of the Company's efforts to decrease their investments in the
health care field, the Company, through a shareholder vote at the annual
shareholders' meeting held June 19, 1993, amended its fundamental policies to
allow for concentration in only the lodging industry. The Company will invest
the proceeds of any sales of shares pursuant to the Plan in a manner the ensures
that it is in compliance with its current fundamental policies.


                                     -31-
<PAGE>   34

         In the event of a downturn in the lodging industry, the ability of such
borrowers to satisfy their debt service obligations to the Company could be
adversely affected. In addition, approximately 38%, 13% and 11% of the Company's
total assets as of December 31, 1996 consisted of loans to borrowers located in
Texas, Florida and Georgia, respectively. A significant economic downturn in
either of these regions could adversely affect the value of collateral located
in these regions.

         Interest Rate and Prepayment Risk. The Company's income is materially
dependent upon the "spread" between the rate at which it borrows funds and the
rate at which it loans these funds. Western Financial and PMIC have historically
borrowed funds from the SBA for terms of 10 years and have made fixed rate loans
for terms of four to 25 years. PMC has borrowed funds through private placements
of senior unsecured notes with maturities ranging from 6 to 10 years and have
made fixed rate loans for terms of 5 to 20 years. If interest rates decline,
Western Financial, PMIC and PMC may experience significant prepayments, and such
prepayments, as well as scheduled repayments, are likely to be reloaned at lower
rates, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Western
Financial, PMIC and PMC attempt to protect against declining interest rates by
generally requiring prepayment penalties and by making loans at initial spreads
which reflect this risk. First Western has less prepayment risk because it makes
variable rate loans which periodically adjust with changing market conditions.

         If the yield on loans originated by the Company with funds obtained
from borrowings or the issuance of preferred stock fails to cover the cost of
such funds, the Company's cash flow will be reduced. During periods of changing
interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact the Company's
net income, dividend yield and the market price of the Common Stock. Most of the
fixed rate loans that the Company originates have prepayment penalties. If
interest rates decline, the Company may experience significant prepayments. Such
prepayments, as well as scheduled repayments, are likely to be reloaned or
invested at lower rates, which may have an adverse effect on the Company's
ability to maintain distributions at existing levels.

         In connection with First Western's sale of the guaranteed portion of
the loans it originates, the Company typically receives cash and retains the
right to receive contractual servicing fees and the right to receive future
interest income on loans sold that exceed the contractually specified servicing
fee (the interest-only strip receivable) in exchange for a portion of the loan,
typically the guaranteed portion of an SBA 7(a) Program Loan. The difference
between the carrying value of the portion of loans sold, and the sum of cash
received and the relative fair values of the servicing rights and the
interest-only strip receivable retained constitutes the gain on the sale. In
accordance with SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (adopted by the Company
effective January 1, 1997), the servicing asset is amortized in proportion to
and over the period of estimated net servicing income and is evaluated for
impairment by stratifying the servicing assets by one or more of the
predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial assets. The
interest-only strip receivable is accounted for like an investment in debt
securities classified as trading under SFAS No. 115. Accordingly, the Company
measures the fair value of the interest-only strip receivable based upon the
future anticipated cash flows discounted to reflect the current market



                                     -32-
<PAGE>   35

interest rates for investments of this type. The estimated net servicing income
and the investment in the interest-only strip receivable are based in part upon
management's estimate of prepayment speeds, including default rates. There can
be no assurance of the accuracy of these estimates. If the prepayment speeds
occur at a faster rate than anticipated, the amortization of the servicing
asset will be accelerated and the interest-only strip receivable will be repaid
faster than originally estimated. If prepayments occur slower than anticipated,
cash flows would exceed estimated amounts and total income in future periods
would be enhanced.

         Dependence on SBA Programs. The Company funds a substantial portion of
the loans that it originates through certain SBA programs. Approximately    $43
million of the Company's loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 were funded
under the specialized small business company ("SSBIC") and small business
investment company ("SBIC") programs of the SBA which allow for PMIC and Western
Financial to borrow funds at below market rates. Discontinuation, elimination or
a significant reduction of these SBA programs would have a material adverse
effect on the Company. There have been attempts in previous years by the federal
government to eliminate the SBA or to curtail its activities or funding. Any
significant change in the SBA programs could have a material adverse effect on
further periods of operation.

         Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company is dependent upon the efforts 
and abilities of Dr. Fredric M. Rosemore, its Chairman of the Board, Lance B.
Rosemore, its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Andrew S.
Rosemore, its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Although
the Company believes that it has a capable management group, the loss or
interruption of the services of these persons could have a material adverse
effect on the Company. The Company has entered into employment agreements with
Dr. Fredric M. Rosemore, Lance B. Rosemore and Dr. Andrew S. Rosemore, which
agreements expire in June 2000.

         The Company has not purchased policies insuring the lives of Dr.
Fredric M. Rosemore, Lance B. Rosemore or Dr. Andrew S. Rosemore. All of the
executive officers are required to spend all of their business time on Company
business, including the management of PMC Advisers in connection with advisory
services to be provided by PMC Advisers to affiliates of the Company in the
future. See "Remuneration of Directors and Officers" and "Management." See also
"Certain Affiliated Transactions and Other Matters" for important information
concerning the management of the Company.

         Availability of Funding Sources. The Company has a continuing need for
capital to finance its lending activities and has generally funded its loan
origination activities by borrowings through programs of the SBA, private and
public issuances of Common Stock, the issuance of senior unsecured notes, the
securitization and sale of its loan portfolio and the utilization of its
short-term uncollateralized credit facility. Accordingly, reductions in the
availability of funds from these sources could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. In addition, since the Company distributes as dividends to its
shareholders all its investment company taxable income, such earnings are not
available to fund loan originations.



                                     -33-
<PAGE>   36

         Environmental Liabilities. The Company has acquired, and may in the
future acquire, through foreclosure, properties that secured defaulted loans.
While the Company performs extensive due diligence investigations into
properties both prior to originating the loan secured by such properties and
prior to foreclosing thereon, there is a risk that hazardous substances or
wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof could be discovered on
properties acquired by the Company or with respect to which the Company is
deemed to be an owner or operator under applicable environmental laws. In such
event, the Company could be required under certain environmental laws to remove
such substances and clean up the affected property at its sole cost and expense
or to contribute to the cost of such remediation or clean up , which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company could be
required to pay fines and/or penalties imposed by governmental agencies. The
Company requires environmental site assessments of commercial real estate
securing loans it makes as a condition to making such loans; however, there can
be no assurance that such assessments would reveal any or all potential
environmental liabilities.

         Competition. PMC Capital's primary competition comes from banks,
financial institutions, franchise loan programs and other companies operating
under SBA sponsored programs. Some of these competitors have greater financial
and larger managerial resources than the Company. Competition has increased as
the financial strength of the banking and thrift industries improved. PMC
Capital believes that it competes effectively with such entities on the basis of
the interest rates, maturities and payment schedules, the quality of its
service, its reputation as a lender, the timely credit analysis and decision
making processes, and the renewal options available to borrowers. In addition,
to the extent that the investment opportunities reviewed by PMC Advisers conform
to the investment criteria of PMC Commercial, and PMC Commercial has funds
available to make these investments, such investments will be made by PMC
Commercial.
See "Business -- Competition."

         Leverage. The Company has borrowed funds and issued shares of preferred
stock, and intends to borrow additional funds through advances on its revolving
credit facility and through the issuance of notes payable or SBA debentures, if
available. As a result, the Company is leveraged. The SBA and private lenders
have fixed dollar claims on the Company's assets superior to the claims of the
holders of Common Stock. Any increase in the interest rate earned by the Company
on investments in excess of the interest rate or dividend payable on the funds
obtained from either borrowings or the issuance of preferred stock would cause
its net income and earnings per share to increase more than they would without
the leverage, while any decrease in the interest rate earned by the Company on
investments would cause net income and earnings per share to decline by a
greater amount than they would without the leverage. Leverage is thus generally
considered a speculative investment technique. In order for the Company to repay
indebtedness or meet its obligations in respect of any outstanding preferred
stock on a timely basis, the Company may be required to dispose of assets at a
time which it would not otherwise do so and at prices which may be below the net
book value of such assets. Dispositions of assets may adversely impact the
Company's results of operations.

         Decline in Net Asset Value. If the net asset value of the Company's
assets were to decline, PMC Capital's ability to pay dividends on the Common
Stock may be adversely effected.



                                     -34-
<PAGE>   37

Such inability to pay dividends may cause PMC Capital to
lose its status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Additionally, such reduction may require the Company to dispose of assets at a
time at which it would not otherwise do so and at prices which may be below the
net book value of the assets.

         Shares Eligible for Future Sale. As of March 31, 1997 the Company's
executive officers and directors ("Management Shareholders") owned an aggregate
of 2,977,599 shares of Common Stock (approximately 26.4% of total shares of
Common Stock outstanding at that time). In addition, certain other persons have
purchased shares of Common Stock in reliance upon certain exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). Sales of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Management Shareholders
or such other shareholders may not be made in a public distribution unless
registered under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder.
Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market subsequent,
and the possibility that such sales may be made, could adversely affect the
prevailing market price of the Common Stock and could impair the Company's
ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.

(1)  Average value during period, calculated based on average net assets during
     the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding. Securities for which market values are available are valued at
     market, all other assets are valued at fair value as determined by the
     Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that the fair
     value of the Company's loans is the principal amount of the loan less any
     discounts, deferred fees, net of related costs and loan loss reserves.

SHARE REPURCHASES

         The Company is a closed-end investment company designed for long-term
investment and investors should not consider it to be trading vehicle. In
connection with the Plan and in recognition that the Company's shares, which
historically have traded at a premium to net asset value, might trade at a
discount to net asset value or at any value that is less than the desired value
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), the Board
contemplates that the Company may from time to time repurchase its shares in the
open market pursuant to Section 23(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

         The Company anticipates that the market price of its shares will remain
at a premium to net asset value but may vary. The market price of the Company's
shares will be determined by, among other things, the relative demand for and
supply of such shares in the market, the Company's investment performance, the
Company's dividends and yield and investor perception of the Company's overall
attractiveness. Although the Board believes that share repurchases generally
would have a favorable effect on the market price of the Company shares, it
should be recognized that the acquisition of shares by the Company in the open
market will decrease total assets and consequently have the effect of increasing
the Company's expense ratio. Due to the nature of the Company's investment
objectives, policies and portfolio, under current market conditions the Company
anticipates that repurchases generally should not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's investment performance; however, this may not always be the
case.

                                    BUSINESS

GENERAL

         PMC Capital is a diversified closed-end management investment company
that operates as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. The Company engages in
the business of originating loans to small businesses either directly or
indirectly or through its three principal subsidiaries: First Western, PMIC and
Western Financial. First Western, PMIC and Western Financial are registered
under the Investment Company Act as diversified closed-end management investment
companies. In addition, PMC Capital is either directly or indirectly the sole
shareholder or partner of PMC Advisers, PMC Funding, PMC Capital Corp., PMC
Trust 1996-A and the Partnership. PMC Advisers is an investment advisor who
evaluates and services loans pursuant to a fee arrangement. PMC Capital has
elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and distributes
substantially all its taxable income as dividends to its shareholders, thereby
incurring no Federal income tax liability on such income.

         The Company primarily originates loans to individuals and small
business concerns in the lodging industry. The Company also targets the medical,
food service, service, retail and commercial real estate industries. The Company
primarily lends to businesses in the Southwest and Southeast regions of the
United States. A majority of the Company's loans in the lodging industry are to
owner-operated facilities generally operating under national franchises. The
Company believes that franchise operations offer attractive lending
opportunities because such businesses employ proven business concepts, have
consistent product quality, are screened and monitored by franchisors and
generally have a higher rate of success as compared to other independently
operated businesses. In addition, management believes that the franchise lodging
industry and the other industry segments upon which it focuses are underserved
by traditional lending sources.

         PMC Capital, incorporated in Florida under the name of Pro-Med Capital,
Inc. in June 1983, became the successor by merger to Western Capital Corporation
(founded in 1979) in December 1983 and changed its name to "PMC Capital, Inc."
in March 1991. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at
17290 Preston Road, Third Floor, Dallas, Texas 75252.

         Earnings per share on a quarterly basis since 1988 were as follows:

LENDING PROGRAMS
                                     
     FIRST WESTERN

     First Western is a small business lending company ("SBLC") that originates
variable-rate loans which are partially guaranteed by the SBA pursuant to the
7(a) Program. While the eligibility requirements of the 7(a) Program vary by
the industry of the borrower and other factors, the general eligibility
requirements are that: (i) gross sales of the borrower cannot exceed $5.0
million (other than with respect to certain industries where eligibility is
determined based on a number of employees), (ii) liquid assets or real estate
equity of the borrower (and certain affiliates) cannot exceed certain limits
and (iii) the maximum aggregate SBA loan guarantees to a borrower cannot exceed
$750,000.

     The interest rate environment and legislative changes have affected the
secondary market for the 7(a) Program guaranteed portion of loans originated by
First Western. 7(a) Program lenders are required to pay a fee of between 40
basis points and 50 basis points ("SBA Servicing Fees") per annum on the
outstanding principal balance of any loans sold in the secondary market
depending upon when the loan was sold. At present, a 50 basis point fee is in
effect for loans originated after October 1995. The value of the guaranteed
portion of loans decreased as a result of this fee. Additionally, as interest
rates fluctuated during 1994, the secondary market demand for the guaranteed
portion of the 7(a) Program loans decreased and the premiums declined. The
secondary market demand increased in late 1994, continued the increase during
1995 and stabilized during 1996, partially offsetting the negative effect of
the SBA Servicing Fees established in 1993.

     Effective October 1995, the fees charged to the borrower by the SBA for
the SBA's guaranty of a loan to the lender increased, are now based on the size
of the originated loan and range from 2% to 3.875% of the guaranteed portion of
the loan. The fees had been 2% of the guaranteed portion of the loan. First
Western had a decrease in loan origination volume during 1996 partially as a
result of these increased fees and an increase in competition. Due to the
decrease in loan origination volume, the premiums recognized from the sale of
the government guaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans sold in the secondary
market decreased from $2.8 million in 1995 to $1.9 million during 1996.

     Effective March 1, 1996, certain eligibility requirements of the 7(a)
Program were amended. As a result of these amendments and other factors
described above, First Western has experienced a reduction in loan origination
opportunities within the 7(a) Program. Set forth below are the qualifications
to the program. When the total amount of the proposed financing:

     (1) Is $250,000 or less, each 20 percent owner of the applicant must
contribute to the business personal liquid assets per the SBA rules and
regulations ("Personal Liquid Assets") in excess of two times the total
financing or $100,000, whichever is greater;




                                     -39-
<PAGE>   42

     (2) Is between $250,001 and $500,000, each 20 percent owner of the
applicant must contribute Personal Liquid Assets to the business in excess of
one and one-half times the total financing or $500,000, whichever is greater;
and

     (3) Exceeds $500,000, each 20 percent owner of the applicant must
contribute to the business Personal Liquid Assets in excess of one times the
total financing or $750,000, whichever is greater.

     Continued program and market changes may have an adverse effect on future
periods of operations. The future profitability of the Company's 7(a) Program
lending activities will be impacted by a number of factors including: (i) the
more efficient capital structure achieved by First Western's 1994
securitizations, (ii) volume of lending, (iii) length of loans, (iv) structure
of sales to the secondary market, (v) interest rates charged and related terms,
(vi) quality of portfolio, (vii) prepayment experience and (viii) legislative
and/or regulatory changes.

     Any other aspect of SBA programs under which the Company participates
could be modified by legislation or agency policy changes. PMC Capital
continues to evaluate alternative lending strategies and would pursue such
strategies should the SBA programs under which any of its subsidiaries operates
be eliminated or significantly curtailed.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, First Western had outstanding loans
receivable, net, in an aggregate amount of $26.3 million and $20.8 million,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, First Western
originated $29.2 million and $40.6 million, respectively, in loans and sold
$20.0 million and $30.3 million, respectively, of the guaranteed portion of its
loans into the secondary market (without recourse to the Company). At December
31, 1996 and 1995, First Western had loans receivable with aggregate balances
of approximately $412,000 and $659,000 (1.6% and 3.2%, respectively, of First
Western's outstanding loans receivable, net) greater than 60 days past due.
Realized and unrealized losses on First Western's investments were $56,000 and
$238,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     PMIC

     PMIC is a licensed specialized SSBIC under the Small Business Investment
Act of 1958, as amended ("SBIA"). PMIC uses long-term funds provided by the
SBA, together with its own capital, to provide long-term, fixed-rate
collateralized loans to eligible small businesses owned by "disadvantaged"
persons, as defined under the regulations of the SBA. As an SBIC (as defined
below), PMIC is eligible to obtain long-term, fixed-rate funding from the SBA
through the issuance of debentures which are guaranteed by the SBA. For any
debentures issued by PMIC prior to 1996, the interest rate has been reduced
through an SBA subsidy by 3% during the first five years. As an SSBIC, prior to
1996 PMIC was eligible to issue preferred stock to the SBA with either a 3% or
4% per annum cumulative dividend rate. Issuance of debentures and preferred
stock is subject to SBA approval and availability. See "Overview of SBA
Regulations."


                                     -40-
<PAGE>   43


     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMIC had loans receivable, net, in an
aggregate amount of $28.6 million and $36.7 million, respectively. During the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMIC originated $19.3 million and $21.2
million, respectively, in loans and during the year ended December 31, 1996
transferred $24.8 million in loans to PMC Capital in conjunction with the
Structured Financing. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMIC had loans receivable
with aggregate balances of approximately $160,000 and $707,000 (0.8% and 2.0%,
respectively, of PMIC's loans receivable, net) greater than 60 days past due.
Realized and unrealized losses on PMIC's investments were $27,000 during each
of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

     WESTERN FINANCIAL

     Western Financial is a licensed small business investment company ("SBIC")
under the SBIA that provides fixed-rate loans to small business concerns and
persons whether or not they qualify as "disadvantaged." As an SBIC, Western
Financial is eligible to obtain long-term, fixed-rate funding from the SBA
through the issuance of debentures. Issuance of debentures is subject to SBA
approval and availability. See "Overview of SBA Regulations."

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Western Financial had loans receivable,
net, in an aggregate amount of $14.4 million and $25.1 million, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, Western Financial originated
$7.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, in loans and during the year ended
December 31, 1996 transferred $10.0 million in loans to PMC Capital in
conjunction with the Structured Financing. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Western Financial had loans receivable with aggregate principal balances of
approximately $215,000 and $436,000 (1.5% and 1.7%, respectively, of Western
Financial's loans receivable, net) greater than 60 days past due. Realized and
unrealized losses on Western Financial's investments were $64,000 and $94,000,
respectively, during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

     PMC CAPITAL

     PMC Capital has originated loans to borrowers on a non-SBA supported basis
using criteria similar to that utilized by its three principal investment
company subsidiaries whose loans are funded under the SBA programs. These loans
are: (i) to borrowers who exceed the eligibility requirements of the 7(a)
Program or SBIC programs, (ii) payable in monthly installments of principal and
interest based upon four to 25 year amortization tables, with the balance due
at maturity (typically four to 20 years), (iii) primarily collateralized by
real estate and (iv) generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowers.
The funding for this lending program is limited to the extent of leverage
available to the Company. However, the Company expects that most non-SBA
supported loans will be made by PMC Commercial in the future and that such
loans will be made by the Company only to the extent that PMC Commercial does
not have available funds.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMC Capital had loans receivable, net, in
an aggregate amount of $24.1 million and $27.9 million, respectively. During
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMC Capital originated $14.2
million and $7.7 million in loans, respectively, and



                                     -41-
<PAGE>   44

during the year ended December 31, 1996 contributed $45.6 million in loans to
the Partnership (including the $34.8 million in loans transferred from PMIC and
Western Financial to PMC Capital) in conjunction with the Structured Financing.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, PMC Capital had no loans receivable greater than
60 days past due. PMC Capital had no realized or unrealized losses during the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

NON-INVESTMENT COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
PMC and its wholly owned regulated investment company subsidiaries. The
accounts of PMC Advisers, PMC Funding, PMC Capital Corp., PMC Trust 1996-A and
the Partnership are accounted for by the equity method of accounting in
conformity with the requirements of the Federal securities laws.

     PMC ADVISERS

     PMC Advisers, organized in July 1993, is a registered investment advisor
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 which acts as the investment advisor
for PMC Commercial. PMC Advisers provides investment advisory services to PMC
Commercial pursuant to an investment management agreement (the "Investment
Management Agreement") entered into between PMC Capital, PMC Advisers and PMC
Commercial. As the investment advisor for PMC Commercial, PMC Advisers has
earned $1,562,000, $1,189,000 and $429,000 in advisory fees during the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     PMC CAPITAL CORP., PMC TRUST 1996-A AND THE PARTNERSHIP

     The Partnership was formed as a special purpose affiliate of the Company.
On November 13, 1996, the Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership,
completed the Structured Financing through a private placement (the "Private
Placement") of approximately $40.7 million of its Notes. The Notes, issued at
par, which have a stated maturity in 2011 and bear interest at the rate of
6.725% per annum, were originally collateralized by approximately $45.7 million
of loans (the "Initial Loan Contribution") contributed by PMC Capital to the
Partnership. The net book value of the Initial Loan Contribution after deferred
commitment fees, discounts and accrued interest receivable on the date of
transfer was approximately $45.5 million. In connection with the Private
Placement, the Notes were given a rating of "Aa2" by Moody's Investors Service.
The Partnership has the exclusive obligation for repayment of the Notes, and
the holders of the Notes have no recourse to PMC Capital or its other
subsidiaries or their assets in the event of nonpayment of the underlying loans
receivable. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes (approximately
$37.5 million before giving effect to payment of issuance costs of
approximately $396,000 and after giving effect to the funding of a $2.04
million reserve fund held by the trustee as collateral) were distributed to PMC
Capital. PMC Capital Corp. was formed in November 1996 to act as the
independent trustee of PMC Trust 1996-A which is the general partner of the
Partnership and owns a 1% general partnership interest in the Partnership, PMC
Capital owns a 99% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. PMC is the
servicer for all loans held by the Partnership.

     PMC FUNDING

     PMC Funding is a Florida corporation that holds assets on behalf of the
Company. PMC Capital is the sole shareholder of PMC Funding. Operations from
PMC Funding consist of income generated from the operation of properties held
and charter revenue derived from use by third parties of PMC Funding's
airplane.

ELECTION TO BE A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

     In 1980, the Investment Company Act was amended to permit closed-end
investment companies which make certain types of investments ("Qualifying
Assets") to elect to become business development companies rather than
registered investment companies. Under this amendment (the "1980 Amendment"),
BDCs must register their shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and become subject to the Exchange Act's periodic
reporting requirements rather than the Investment Company Act's reporting
requirements. During 1994, PMC Capital elected to operate as a BDC. Companies
having securities registered under the Exchange Act, such as PMC Capital, must
file quarterly rather than semi-annual financial reports. The 1980 Amendment
provides BDCs with greater operating flexibility relating to capital structure,
portfolio diversification, transactions with downstream affiliates, executive
stock options and the frequency with which they may make distributions from
capital gains, that may be greater than that available to registered investment
companies.

     Under the 1980 Amendment, a BDC such as PMC Capital may only acquire
Qualifying Assets unless, at the time of their acquisition, Qualifying Assets
represent at least 70% of the value of the BDC's total assets. The principal
categories of Qualifying Assets relevant to the business of PMC Capital are the
following:

     (1) Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering
from the issuer of such securities, which issuer is an eligible portfolio
company. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the 1980 Amendment as any
issuer which:

          (a) is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of
     business in, the United States;

          (b) is not an investment company other than an SBIC wholly-owned by
     the BDC (PMC Capital's investments in and advances to PMIC, Western
     Financial and First Western are Qualifying Assets ); and

          (c) does not have any class of securities with respect to which a
     broker or dealer may extend margin credit.

     (2) Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect
to securities described in (1) above, or pursuant to the exercise of options,
warrants or rights relating to such securities.




                                     -43-
<PAGE>   46

     (3) Cash, cash items, Government securities or high quality debt
securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

     In addition, a BDC must have been organized (and have its principal place
of business) in the United States for the purpose of making investments in the
type of securities described in (1) above and, in order to classify the
securities as Qualifying Assets for purposes of the 70% test, the BDC must make
available to the issuer of the securities significant managerial assistance
which means, among other things:

     (1) Any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or
employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant
guidance and council concerning the management, operations or business
objectives and policies of a portfolio company; or

     (2) In the case of an SBIC, making loans to a portfolio company.

     Under the 1980 Amendment, now that PMC Capital has elected to be regulated
as a BDC, it may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or
withdraw its election as, a BDC unless authorized by the vote of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock.

COMPETITION

     PMC Capital's primary competition comes from banks, financial
institutions, franchise loan programs and other companies operating under SBA
sponsored programs. Some of these competitors have greater financial and larger
managerial resources than the Company. Competition has increased as the
financial strength of the banking and thrift industries improved. PMC Capital
believes that it competes effectively with such entities on the basis of the
interest rates, maturities and payment schedules, the quality of its service,
its reputation as a lender, the timely credit analysis and decision making
processes, and the renewal options available to borrowers. In addition, to the
extent that the investment opportunities reviewed by PMC Advisers conform to
the investment criteria of PMC Commercial, and PMC Commercial has funds
available to make these investments, such investments will be made by PMC
Commercial.

     During December 1995, in addition to being a "Certified SBA lender" in
Miami, Florida and "Preferred SBA lender" in Dallas, Texas, First Western was
granted the designation of a "preferred lender" in over 50 additional districts
of the SBA. Under the 7(a) Program, in order to have SBA guarantee, the lender
must have some level of SBA approval. Within the 7(a) Program, the different
status levels for SBA approvals are (i) guaranteed lender, (ii) certified
lender and (iii) preferred lender. Approval of loans under the guaranteed
lender program requires the greatest amount of review time by the SBA while the
preferred lender program requires the least. The granting of preferred lender
status to First Western assists the Company in competing for loan origination
opportunities due to the reduction in approval time.

EMPLOYEES

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had 56 employees. Management of the
Company believes its relationship with its employees is good.

OVERVIEW OF SBA REGULATIONS

     The lending operations of First Western, PMIC and Western Financial are
regulated by the SBA establishing, among other things, maximum interest rates
that borrowers may be charged (which currently may not exceed the greater of
19% per annum or 11% above the Company's cost of funds from the SBA) and
minimum and maximum maturities for the Company's loans (which generally range
from four to 25 years). Borrowers must satisfy certain criteria established by
the SBA to qualify for loans originated by the Company under SBA sponsored
programs, including limitations on the net worth and net income of potential
borrowers or alternative criteria that focus upon the number of employees of
the borrower and its gross revenues. In addition, the SBA generally limits the
aggregate amount of guaranties that can be provided to any single borrower and
restricts the use to which the loan proceeds can be employed by the borrower.

     As part of the omnibus funding bill signed into legislation by Congress in
October 1996, the SBIC program was authorized to issue a minimum of $256
million in SBA debentures in the SBA's fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.
This is significantly above amounts available in 1996; however, there are
increased costs for new SBA debentures. A flat 3% "draw-down" fee will replace
the 2% commitment fee and there will be an increase of 100 basis points in the
interest rates to be charged. The interest rates previously charged on SBA
debentures were approximately 70 basis points over the 10 year Treasury Note.
As adjusted, the new rates would be approximately 170 basis points over the 10
year Treasury Note. As part of this legislation, the availability of 3%
subsidized debentures and the right of the SBA to purchase preferred stock of
an SSBIC was repealed. This will have no effect on previously issued debentures
or preferred stock of SSBICs including PMIC.

PROPERTIES

     The Company's headquarters are located at 17290 Preston Road, Dallas,
Texas 75252 where its facilities comprise approximately 12,400 square feet of
space pursuant to leases with a corporation, a majority of whose shareholders
are officers and/or directors of the Company. In addition the Company also
leases office space in Hollywood, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia and Phoenix,
Arizona. The aggregate annual lease payments for the year ended December 31,
1996 were approximately $213,000.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is involved from time to time in routine litigation incidental
to its business. The Company does not believe that the current proceedings will
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
condition of the Company.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

PMC CAPITAL

         PMC Capital's investment objective is to maximize earnings for
distribution to shareholders from interest income, loan servicing and other fees
generated by loans which it originates. Except for the fundamental policies
described below, PMC Capital's investment objectives may be changed by a
majority vote of the PMC Capital Board of Directors.

         The Company places its liquid funds not invested in loans in short-term
monetary instruments. These liquid funds are maintained in such instruments
pending application to long-term portfolio investments. No dollar limit has been
established for short-term investments as a whole or for any type of short-term
instrument.

         Each subsidiary of PMC Capital also sets its own investment policies.


FIRST WESTERN

         The following policies of First Western may be modified or terminated
by a majority vote of its Board of Directors.

         The investment objective of First Western is to receive interest,
premiums, and servicing fees to fund current operations, meet contingencies as
they arise, and provide earnings for the payment of dividends to PMC. In seeking
to achieve this objective, management may expand First Western's investments
through borrowings.


WESTERN FINANCIAL

         The following policies of Western Financial may be modified or
terminated by a majority vote of its Board of Directors.

         The investment objective of Western Financial is to receive interest
and fees to fund current operations, meet contingencies as they arise and
provide earnings for the payment of dividends to PMC.

         Except for certain SBA restrictions which prohibit Western Financial
from making loans to any single borrower in excess of 20% of its regulatory
stated capital and capital surplus, Western Financial has not established any
more restrictive limit on the dollar amount or percentage of its total assets
that may be invested in any particular company or any group of companies than
that imposed by SBA regulations.



                                     -46-
<PAGE>   49

PMIC

         The following policies of PMIC may be modified or terminated by a
majority vote of its Board of Directors, except that its policy to make loans to
"socially or economically disadvantaged" small business entrepreneurs may be
changed only as described below in "Fundamental Policies".

         The investment objective of PMIC is to receive interest and fees to
fund current operations, meet contingencies as they arise and provide earnings
for the payment of dividends to PMC. PMIC has an overall policy of making loans
to "socially or economically disadvantaged" small business entrepreneurs
pursuant to the SBIA.

         SBA restrictions prohibit PMIC from making loans to any single borrower
in excess of 25% of its regulatory stated capital and capital surplus. PMIC has
not established any more restrictive limit on the dollar amount or percentage of
its total assets that may be invested in any particular company or any group of
companies than that imposed by SBA regulations.


FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES

         The following investment policies of PMC Capital and its subsidiaries
are fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of the
lesser of (i) more than 50% of PMC Capital's outstanding voting securities or
(ii) 67% or more of PMC Capital's voting securities present at a meeting of
security holders at which a quorum is present. All other investment policies of
PMC Capital may be changed by PMC Capital's Board of Directors at any time.

         1. The Company will not purchase or sell commodities or commodity
contracts.

         2. The Company will not engage in short sales, purchase securities on
margin or trade in contracts commonly called puts or calls or in combinations
thereof, except that it may acquire warrants, options or other rights to
subscribe to or sell securities in furtherance of its investment objectives.

         3. The Company will not underwrite securities of other issuers, except
that it may acquire portfolio securities under circumstances where, if sold, the
Company might be deemed an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act. The
Company may purchase "restricted securities" as to which there are substantial
restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

         4. The Company will not purchase any securities of a company if any of
the directors or officers of the Company owns more than 0.5% of such company and
such persons owning more than 0.5% together own 5% or more of the shares of such
company (as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act).

         5. The Company may issue senior securities in the form of debentures,
reverse repurchase agreements and preferred stock and may borrow monies from 
banks and other lenders,



                                     -47-
<PAGE>   50

all on an unsecured basis. The Investment Company Act limits the Company to the
issuance of one class of senior debt securities and one class of senior equity
securities.

         6. The Company will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any
one industry except in the lodging industry which may constitute 100% of the
Company's portfolio. The Company will invest at least 25% of its total assets in
the lodging industry.

         7. The Company may invest in real estate development companies, may
make real estate acquisitions and improvement loans and may further make other
loans secured by real estate.

         8. The Company may make loans and purchase debt securities in
furtherance of its investment objectives. The Company will not make loans to its
officers, directors or other affiliated persons.

         9. PMIC will perform the functions and conduct the activities
contemplated under the SBIA, and will provide assistance solely to small
business concerns which will contribute to a well-balanced national economy by
facilitating ownership of such concerns by persons whose participation in the
free enterprise system is hampered because of social or economic disadvantages.
These fundamental policies of PMIC may not be changed without shareholder
approval and without the prior written consent of the SBA.

         As stated above, the Company has a fundamental policy regarding
investment in the lodging industry. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, loans to
businesses in the lodging industry comprised 44% and 55% of its total assets,
respectively.

         There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to experience
the positive results it has historically achieved from lending to the lodging
industry or that market conditions will enable the Company to maintain or
increase its level of loan concentration in this industry. Any economic factors
that negatively impact this industry could have a material adverse effect on the
business of the Company. Additionally, at December 31, 1996, loans to businesses
located in Texas, Florida and Georgia comprised approximately 38%, 13% and 11%
of the Company's outstanding loan portfolio, respectively. A decline in economic
conditions in any of these states may adversely affect the Company.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

         The Company's portfolio turnover rate was 16% for the year ended
December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of First Western's sales of loans in the
secondary market.


INVESTMENT ADVISOR

         The Company is advised internally by its executive officers under the
supervision of its Board.

                               TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following discussion is a general summary of the material Federal
tax considerations applicable to PMC Capital and to an investment in the Common
Stock and does not purport to be a complete description of the tax
considerations applicable to such an investment. Prospective investors should
consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax considerations which
pertain to their purchase of the Common Stock. This summary does not discuss all
aspects of Federal income taxation relevant to holders of the Common Stock
("Holders") in light of their personal circumstances, or to certain types of
Holders subject to special treatment under federal income tax laws, including
foreign taxpayers. This summary does not discuss any aspects of foreign, state,
or local tax laws.


GENERAL

         PMC Capital and each of its subsidiaries (with the exception of PMC
Funding and PMC Advisers) has qualified and intends to continue to qualify to be
treated as "regulated investment companies" under the Code. To be so treated,
the Company must (i) be registered under the Investment Company Act at all times
during the taxable year, (ii) derive at least 90% of its gross income in each
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities
loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or
certain other passive income, (iii) derive less than 30% of its gross income in
each taxable year from the sale or other disposition within three months of
their acquisition by the Company of stock, securities, or certain other
investments that are not directly related to the Company's principal business of
investing in stock or securities, and (iv) diversify its holdings to meet
certain requirements set forth in the Code. The Company has treated, and intends
to continue to treat, all amounts received on the sale of loans in excess of a
normal servicing fee, as qualifying income for purposes of meeting the test in
clause (ii).

         The Company intends to make timely distributions of its investment
company taxable income, net capital gains and capital gain net income so that
the Company will not be subject to federal income or excise taxes. For Federal
income and excise tax purposes, dividends declared in October, November or
December of any calendar year and payable to Holders of record on a specified
date in such a month are deemed to have been received by each Holder, and to
have been paid by the Company, on December 31 of such calendar year, provided
that such dividend is actually paid during January of the following year.


DISTRIBUTIONS

         Distributions to Holders of the Company's dividend and interest income
and of any net short-term capital gain in any year will generally be taxable as
dividend income to Holders to the extent of the Company's earnings and profits.
Distributions which constitute dividends for Federal income tax purposes will 
not generally be eligible for the dividends-received deduction



                                     -49-
<PAGE>   52


for corporations. To the extent that such distributions to a United States
Holder in any year exceed the Company's earnings and profits, they will be
treated as a nontaxable return of capital and will reduce the United States
Holder's basis in his shares. The amount of such distributions, if any, in
excess of the Holder's basis in his shares, will be treated as a gain from the
sale of shares, as discussed below. Distributions of the Company's net capital
gains (which will be designated as capital gain dividends by the Company) will
be taxable to United States Holders as long-term capital gain, regardless of
the length of time the Holder has held his shares.


SALES

         A Holder may recognize taxable gain or loss if the Holder sells shares
of the Company. Any gain or loss arising from such sale will generally be
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such Holder
has held such shares for more than one year at the time of the sale; otherwise
it will be short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss arising
from the sale of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a
long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by
the Holder.


REPORTING AND BACK-UP WITHHOLDING

         PMC Capital will inform Holders each year of the amount and nature of
any income or gain distributed to them. Certain Holders may be subject to a 31%
Federal back-up withholding tax on distributions if they fail to provide PMC
Capital with their correct taxpayer identification number and certification that
they are not subject to backup withholding.

                                 MANAGEMENT

         PMC Capital has no formal advisory board but is advised by its
executive officers under the direction of its Board of Directors. PMC Capital's
Loan Committee, comprised primarily of senior management, including but not
limited to Mr. Lance B. Rosemore, Dr. Andrew S. Rosemore, Ms. Mary J.
Brownmiller and Mr. Jan F. Salit, is primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Company's loan portfolio. PMC Capital's Board of Directors is
divided into three classes with staggered three year terms. No more than one
class of directors is elected at any annual meeting. All officers and directors
hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until
their earlier resignation or removal.

         The Audit Committee of PMC Capital's Board of Directors is currently
comprised of Mr. Thomas Hamill and Mr. Barry A. Imber. The principal functions
of the Audit Committee are to oversee the financial reporting policies,
accounting issues, portfolio valuation and the entire audit function of the
Company. The Audit Committee reports their activities to PMC Capital's Board of
Directors. There are no compensation or nomination committees; however, PMC
Capital's Board of Directors as a whole performs these functions. PMC Capital
has appointed an Independent Directors Committee consisting of Dr. Irvin
Borish, Mr. Robert Diamond, Mr. Hamill, Mr. Imber and Mr. Lee Ruwitch, each of
whom is otherwise unaffiliated with the 



                                     -50-
<PAGE>   53


Company. The Independent Directors Committee, which held one meeting during
1996, reviews all proposed affiliated transactions to ensure that such
transactions do not violate the appropriate provisions of the Investment
Company Act.

         The following table set forth certain information about the executive
officers and directors of the Company.

- -------------------

(1)  The Company has determined that the amount of perquisites and other
     personal benefits paid to each of the executive officers listed in the
     compensation table does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of each
     such person's annual salary and bonus reported in such table and that the
     aggregate amount of perquisites and other personal benefits paid to all
     executive officers and directors as a group does not exceed the lesser of
     10% of all such person's annual salary and bonus or $650,000 ( $50,000
     multiplied by 13, the number of executive officers and directors).
     Accordingly, none of such perquisites and other personal benefits is
     included in the above table.

(2)  The participants in the Company's profit sharing plan (the "Plan")
     consist of all employees who are at least 20-1/2 years old, have been
     employed by the Company for six months and are employed at the end of each
     fiscal year or have died, become totally disabled or retired after age 65
     during such fiscal year. The Plan is intended to qualify under Section
     401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A required
     distribution of $19,597 was paid to Dr. Fredric M. Rosemore. No monies
     were withdrawn from the Plan during 1995 for the benefit of Mr. Lance B.
     Rosemore or Dr. Andrew S. Rosemore. Mr. Lance B. Rosemore and Dr. Fredric
     M. Rosemore are co-administrators of the Plan.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     The Company entered into employment agreements with Fredric M. Rosemore,
Lance B. Rosemore, Andrew S. Rosemore, Mary J. Brownmiller, Jan F. Salit, Barry
N. Berlin and Cheryl T. Murray. Each of these employment agreements provides
for at least annual reviews by the Board of Directors of the salaries contained
therein, with a mandatory minimum increase based on percentage increases to the
cost of living index. In addition, the Board of Directors may determine, in its
discretion, to award bonuses to each of the foregoing persons based on the
Company's performance. Each of the employment agreements also provides that if
a new board of directors of the Company is put in place, as a result of the
acquisition of the Common Stock by an outside party or otherwise, and such new
board requests the covered executive to resign or substantially modifies the
duties or working conditions of the executive, the executive could resign and
be entitled to be paid by the Company an amount equal to 2.99 times the average
compensation paid to the executive over the last five years.

                DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND LONG-TERM DEBT

CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY

         General. The authorized share capital of PMC Capital consists of
30,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 1997, PMC Capital had
11,491,076 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. In addition, PMC
Capital has reserved for issuance 1,000,000 shares under the Plan. The following
summary is qualified by reference to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended (the "Articles"), a copy of which has been incorporated by reference
herein.

          Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per
share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of Common 
Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.




                                     -57-
<PAGE>   60


     Dividend Rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
out of funds legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board
of Directors. The Company's dividend history and policy is described under
"Dividends".

     Liquidation and Other Provisions. All shares of Common Stock have equal
rights to receive pro rata, the net assets of the Company upon liquidation or
dissolution after payments to creditors and the prior payment of any
preferential amounts payable to holders of preferred stock. The Common Stock is
not redeemable and has no preemptive or conversion rights. All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will
be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Liability and Indemnification of Directors. Florida law limits the
liability of a director of a Florida corporation if the director discharges his
duties in accordance with standards specified by statute. Florida law and the
Company's bylaws also authorize the Company to indemnify the Company's
directors, officers, employees and agents. Additionally, each of the Company's
directors has entered into an agreement with the Company which provides for
such director's indemnification in certain circumstances.

PREFERRED STOCK OF PMIC

     PMIC has outstanding 30,000 shares of $100 par value, 3% cumulative
preferred stock (the "3% Preferred Stock") and 40,000 shares of $100 par vale,
4% cumulative preferred stock (the "4% Preferred Stock"). The 3% Preferred
Stock and the 4% Preferred Stock (collectively the "Preferred Stock") are held
by the SBA pursuant to the SBIA.

     PMIC is entitled to redeem, in whole or in part, the 3% Preferred Stock by
paying 35% of the par value of these securities plus dividends accumulated and
unpaid on the date of redemption. While the 3% Preferred Stock may be redeemed,
redemption is not mandatory. Dividends of approximately $90,000 on the 3%
Preferred Stock were recognized during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

     The 4% Preferred Stock was issued during September 1994 ( $2,000,000) and
May 1995 ( $2,000,000), and must be redeemed at par no later than 15 years from
the date of issuance. Dividends of approximately $160,000 and $132,000 were
recognized during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Neither series of Preferred Stock has any preemptive or conversion rights.
The Preferred Stock provides for a liquidation preference in the amount of $100
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

LONG-TERM DEBT

     PMC Capital has a $15 million uncollateralized revolving credit facility
which, as extended, expires in May 1998. Advances pursuant to the credit
facility bear interest at PMC Capital's option at the lender's prime rate less
50 basis points or the London Interbank Offering




                                     -58-
<PAGE>   61


Rate (LIBOR) plus 175 basis points. The credit facility requires the Company to
meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which includes that the ratio
of net charge-offs to net loans receivable will not exceed 2.0%, and the ratio
of assets to senior debt (as defined in the credit facility) will not fall
below 150%. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no outstanding borrowings
under this credit facility. At December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance
with all covenants of this facility.

         PMC Capital has consummated $35 million in private placements of
uncollateralized senior notes. These borrowings have been utilized to fund
commitments of the Company's non-SBA lending program. The notes require the
Company to meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which require; (i)
that net loans receivable (as defined in the note agreement) exceed 150% of
senior funded debt, (ii) the increase in the Company's loan valuation reserve
for any 12 month period must not exceed 3% of net loans receivable, and (iii)
the Company's consolidated earnings plus interest expense must exceed 150% of
interest expense. At December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all
of the covenants of these notes. At December 31, 1996 outstanding

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND-PAYING AGENT

         The Company retains custody of its securities (which consist

Company Act.

Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, 46th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10005.

FLORIDA LAW

         The Company has elected not to be subject to the Florida Control Share
Act which generally provides that shares acquired in excess of certain specified
thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless such voting rights are
approved by a majority vote of the corporation's disinterested shareholders. The
Florida Control Share Act may deter an attempt to acquire control of the
Company.


                    BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

         The Company generally does not pay brokerage fees on the securities in
its portfolio. Although the Company may pay such fees in the future in
connection with the purchase of short-term investments, there is no arrangement
to allocate brokerage expenses.

         The Company has no obligation to deal with any broker, dealer or group
of brokers or dealers in purchasing or selling portfolio securities, and orders
for such transactions may be placed with a number of brokers and dealers.



                                     -61-
<PAGE>   64


         In purchasing and selling portfolio securities, the Company selects
brokers and dealers on the basis of the price of the security, commission rates
and other factors. Where practicable, the Company will survey a number of
brokers and dealers in connection with a proposed portfolio transaction and
select the broker or dealer that offers the Company the best price and execution
or other services. At least annually the Company evaluates the overall
reasonableness of the brokerage commissions it has paid, if any.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
PMC Capital, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PMC
Capital, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December
31, 1996. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated schedule of
investments as of December 31, 1996. These financial statements and the
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included the examination or
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. 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 consolidated financial statements and financial
highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of PMC Capital, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, and the consolidated schedule of investments as of
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary
consolidating balance sheet and the related consolidating statements of
income, cash flows, and shareholders' equity are presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows of the individual companies, and are not a
required part of the consolidated financial statements. The supplementary
consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.



                                                      COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BUSINESS

PMC Capital, Inc. ("PMC" or "PMC Capital") is a diversified, closed-end
management investment company that has elected to operate as a business
development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
PMC engages in the business of originating loans to small businesses either
directly or through its three principal subsidiaries: First Western SBLC, Inc.
("First Western"), PMC Investment Corporation ("PMIC") and Western Financial
Capital Corporation ("Western Financial"). First Western, PMIC and Western
Financial are registered under the 1940 Act as diversified, closed-end
management investment companies. In addition, PMC is either directly or
indirectly the sole shareholder or partner of PMC Advisers, LTD ("PMC
Advisers"), PMC Funding Corp. ("PMC Funding"), PMC Capital Corp. 1996-A ("PMC
Capital Corp."), PMC Trust 1996-A and PMC Capital Limited Partnership ( the
"Partnership"). PMC has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company
and distributes substantially all of its taxable income as dividends to
shareholders.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMC and its
wholly owned regulated investment company subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"). Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accounts of PMC Advisers, PMC Funding, PMC Capital Corp., PMC Trust 1996-A
and the Partnership are accounted for by the equity method of accounting in
conformity with Federal securities laws.

CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

First Western is a small business lending company ("SBLC") that originates
variable-rate loans which are partially guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration ("SBA") pursuant to its Section 7(a) Program (the "7(a)
Program"). While the eligibility requirements of the 7(a) Program vary by the
industry of the borrower and other factors, the general eligibility
requirements are that: (i) gross sales of the borrower cannot exceed $5.0
million (other than with respect to certain industries where eligibility is
determined based on the number of employees), (ii) liquid assets or real estate
equity of the borrower (and certain affiliates) cannot exceed the greater of
25% of the loan amount or $50,000 and (iii) the maximum aggregate SBA loan
guarantees to a borrower cannot exceed $750,000.

PMIC is a licensed specialized small business investment company ("SSBIC")
under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended ("SBIA"). PMIC uses
long-term funds provided by the SBA, together with its own capital, to provide
long-term, fixed-rate collateralized loans to eligible small businesses owned
by "disadvantaged" persons, as defined under the regulations of the SBA. As an
SSBIC, PMIC was eligible to obtain long-term, fixed-rate funding, generally at
below-market rates, from the SBA through the issuance of debentures (which are
guaranteed by the SBA and on which the interest rate is reduced through an SBA
subsidy by 3% during the first five years) and preferred stock.

Western Financial is a licensed small business investment company ("SBIC")
under the SBIA that provides fixed-rate loans to borrowers whether or not they
qualify as "disadvantaged". As an SBIC, Western Financial is eligible to obtain
long-term, fixed-rate funding, generally at below-market rates, from the SBA
through the issuance of debentures.

PMC originates loans to borrowers on a non-SBA supported basis using similar
criteria as that used for other loans that are funded under the SBA programs
utilized by the subsidiaries. These loans are made to borrowers who exceed the
eligibility requirements of the 7(a) Program or SBIC programs.

UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

PMC Advisers, organized in July 1993, is a registered investment advisor under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 which acts as the investment advisor for
PMC Commercial Trust ("PMC Commercial" or the "Trust"), a Texas real estate
investment trust and an affiliate of PMC Capital.

                       PMC CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

PMC Funding is a Florida corporation that holds assets on behalf of the
Company. PMC Capital is the sole shareholder of PMC Funding.

The Partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in November 1996
to act as a special purpose affiliate of the Company. The Partnership was
established to acquire loans from the Company and to issue fixed-rate debt
through a private placement.

PMC Capital Corp. is a Delaware corporation formed in November 1996 to be the
independent trustee of the general partner of the Partnership. PMC Trust 1996-A
is a Delaware business trust formed in November 1996 to be the general partner
of the Partnership.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at 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.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Loans receivable are carried at the Board of Directors' estimate of fair value.
The Board of Directors has estimated the fair value of loans receivable to be
the loan principal balance less deferred fees and discounts, unless there is
doubt as to the realization of the loan (a "Problem Loan"). A valuation reserve
is established for a Problem Loan based on the creditor's payment history,
collateral value, guarantor support and other factors. Changes in market
interest rates are not considered in determining the estimate of fair value.

Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they
are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of
more than 60 days. If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful
or is partially reserved or charged-off, the loan is classified as nonaccrual.
Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 60 days may
also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal and/or
interest is in doubt.

When selling the SBA-guaranteed portion of loans, the basis of the retained
portion of the loans has been reduced by the differential between the face
amount of the unguaranteed portion of the loans and the value as determined in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") 88-11. This difference being the Retained Loan
Discount. At the time of sale, premium income has been reduced by the Retained
Loan Discount. Unless the underlying loans are paid in full or sold, the
Retained Loan Discount is amortized over the life of the underlying loan based
on an effective yield method. When a loan is prepaid, the remaining Retained
Loan Discount is recognized as an increase to interest income. When a loan is
sold, the remaining Retained Loan Discount is included as a reduction to the
basis of the retained portion of the underlying loan as a reduction of cost.

Excess servicing related to the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans is
carried at the Board of Directors' estimate of fair value at the time of the
related loan sale and amortized on a pool basis over the estimated life of the
underlying pool of loans.

For those sales of the unguaranteed portion of SBA loans, an allowance has been
established which represents the Board of Directors' estimate of probable
credit losses to be incurred over the lives of the loans sold.

Deferred fees consist of non-refundable fees less direct loan origination
costs. These fees are being recognized over the expected life of the related
loan as an adjustment of yield.

Real property owned is carried at the Board of Directors' estimate of fair
value, based upon appraisals and other factors.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

Cash equivalents are carried at value, which approximates cost.

VALUATION OF DEBT

Debt incurred by the Company is valued at cost. Changes in market interest
rates are not considered in determining fair value as determined by the Board
of Directors.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at their value,
which is cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization is computed using accelerated and straight-line methods, with
estimated useful lives ranging from five to 15 years.

REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS

Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the proceeds
from the sale and the cost basis of the investment, without regard to
unrealized gains and losses previously recognized. The gain or loss calculated
also includes loans written-off or charged-down during the year and recoveries
of loans written-off or charged-down in prior years.

Other changes in the value of investments are included as changes in the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the statements of
income.

Realized gains on the sale of the unguaranteed portion of SBA loans are
recognized based upon the difference between the sales price as adjusted for
any excess servicing (less any allowance for credit losses) and the carrying
value of the assets (including the Retained Loan Discount).

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income on loans is accrued as earned. The accrual of interest is
generally suspended when the related loan becomes 60 days past due
("Non-accrual Loan"). Interest income on a Non-accrual Loan is recognized on
the cash basis.

Interest income includes the interest rate spread on loans sold to the
secondary market or through the securitization and sale of the unguaranteed
portion of SBA loans less the amortization of any excess servicing asset.

PREMIUM INCOME

For loans originated by the SBLC, gain on the sale of the SBA guaranteed
portion of such loans to the secondary market has been adjusted to reflect a
normal service fee for the future servicing rights retained by the Company.
Premium income represents the differential between the value attributable to
the sale of a loan to the secondary market and the principal balance (cost) of
the loan in accordance with EITF 88-11. The sale price includes the value
attributable to any excess servicing spread retained by the Company plus any
cash received.

DEFERRED CHARGES

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of SBA debentures and notes
payable are included in deferred charges, deposits and other assets. These
costs are amortized over the life of the related obligation.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company by
meeting certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the
distribution of its net investment income to shareholders. Thereby the Company
incurs no Federal income tax liability on such income. Based on its status as a
regulated investment company, the Company may elect to retain, deem to
distribute or distribute, in whole or in part, net long-term capital gains
realized on the disposition of its investments.

Any dividends declared by the Company in October, November or December of any
calendar year, payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such
month and actually paid during January of the following year, may be treated as
if it were received by the shareholders on December 31 of the year declared.

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

         DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

         Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

         STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
         original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for
         purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

         EXCESS SERVICING ASSET

         During 1995, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 94-9,
         "Determining a Normal Servicing Fee Rate for the Sale of an SBA Loan."
         This consensus provides that for purposes of allocating the recorded
         investment in a loan between the portion of the loan sold and the
         portion retained, including any excess servicing asset, a normal
         servicing fee of 40 basis points should be used. The Company had
         historically used 50 basis points as a normal servicing fee. The
         effect of this change in estimate was not material to the consolidated
         financial statements during the year ended December 31, 1995.

         STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ("SFAS") NO. 122

         During May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
         Mortgage Servicing Rights," an amendment to SFAS No. 65. The Company
         elected to adopt this standard for its financial statement reporting
         beginning in 1996. SFAS No. 122 prohibits retroactive application.
         Accordingly, the Company's financial statement reporting for years
         prior to 1996 was accounted for under SFAS No. 65, the predecessor
         Statement to SFAS No. 122. The impact of SFAS No. 122 to the
         consolidated financial statements was not significant to operations
         during the year ended December 31, 1996.

         SFAS NO. 125

         In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfer
         and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
         Those standards have been established to provide a consistent
         application of accounting based on a financial-components approach
         which distinguishes the transfer of financial assets that are sales
         from those that are secured borrowings. This approach is based upon
         control of the related assets, whereby after a transfer of financial
         assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it
         controls and the liabilities it has incurred, and derecognizes
         financial assets when control has been surrendered and liabilities are
         extinguished. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfer and servicing of
         financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
         December 31, 1996, and may only be applied prospectively.

         SFAS NO. 128

         In February 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS
         No. 128 specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
         requirements for earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 is designed to
         improve the earnings per share information provided in financial
         statements by simplifying the existing computational guidelines,
         revising the disclosure requirements and increasing the comparability
         of earnings per share data. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial
         statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. In the opinion
         of management, the effect of this pronouncement on earnings per share
         is not considered significant.

         SFAS NO. 129

         In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of
         Information About Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 requires certain
         disclosure about an entity's capital structure. SFAS No. 129 is
         effective for financial statements for periods ending after December
         15, 1997. In the opinion of management, the effect of this 
         pronouncement on the Company's financial position or results of
         operations is not considered significant.

         RECLASSIFICATION

         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
         current year presentation.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2.  LOANS RECEIVABLE:

         Loans receivable consist primarily of loans made under SBIC, SSBIC and
         SBLC programs established by the SBA and financings to businesses
         outside of the SBA loan programs.

         As an SBLC, First Western originates loans which are partially
         guaranteed by the SBA and which are collateralized generally, with
         first liens on real and/or personal property of the borrower. The SBA
         guarantees repayment of up to 90% of the principal amount of the loans
         originated by First Western. First Western sells, without recourse,
         the guaranteed portion of its loans into the secondary market ("SBA
         Guaranteed Sales") while retaining the rights to service the loans.
         Funding for the 7(a) Program depends on the annual appropriations by
         the U.S. Congress. At December 31, 1996, included in loans receivable
         are approximately $3.8 million which represents the guaranteed portion
         of First Western loans available for sale.

         The principal balance of the loans serviced on behalf of third parties
         by First Western was approximately $137.7 million and $150.1 million
         at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         First Western's loans: (i) range in original principal amount from
         $30,000 to $1,400,000, (ii) provide for a variable rate of interest
         based on 1.0% to 2.75% above the then prevailing prime rate, (iii)
         have a term of seven to 25 years, (iv) may be prepaid without penalty
         and (v) require monthly payments covering accrued interest and
         amortization of principal based in part on the remaining useful life
         of the assets collateralizing the loans and on the borrowers' use of
         loan proceeds.

         PMIC and Western Financial originate loans that are payable in monthly
         installments of principal and interest based upon four to 20 year
         amortization periods, with the balance due at maturity. These loans
         are collateralized with first liens on real and/or personal property
         and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower.

         PMC originates loans to borrowers on a non-SBA supported basis, using
         similar criteria for loans that are funded under the SBA programs
         utilized by its three principal subsidiaries. These loans are: (i) to
         borrowers who exceed the eligibility requirements of the 7(a) Program
         or SBIC programs, (ii) payable in monthly installments of principal
         and interest based upon four to 25 year amortization periods, with the
         balance due at maturity, (iii) generally collateralized by real estate
         and/or equipment and (iv) are generally guaranteed by the principals
         of the borrower.

         The Company's portfolio of investments consists of loans to borrowers
         located principally in the southern portion of the United States. The
         most significant concentration of loans were to borrowers in Texas,
         Florida and Georgia, as noted below:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2.   LOANS RECEIVABLE: (CONTINUED)

         Loans receivable with an aggregate retained balance of $1.0 million
         and $1.8 million were greater than 60 days past due, litigation
         against the borrowers has commenced, or the loans are in the process
         of liquidation at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the recorded investment in loans
         identified as impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 114 totaled $1.0
         million and $1.5 million, respectively. Of this total, at December 31,
         1996 and 1995, approximately $80,000 and $20,000, respectively,
         related to loans with no valuation reserve, since the estimated fair
         value of the collateral for each loan exceeds the respective loan
         balance. Approximately $900,000 and $1.5 million of these loans at
         December 31, 1996 and 1995, have a corresponding valuation allowance
         of $412,000 and $446,000, respectively. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
         the Company has recognized $22,000 and $21,000 in valuation allowances
         on identified problem loans of $317,000 and $300,000, respectively,
         which were not deemed impaired. The Company did not recognize any
         material amount of interest on impaired loans during the portion of
         the period that they were impaired. Had these impaired loans performed
         in accordance with their original terms, interest income of
         approximately $113,000 and $168,000, respectively, would have been
         recognized during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

         In addition to the SBA Guaranteed Sales, First Western sells through
         separate transactions, the unguaranteed portion of certain of its
         originated loans through private placements ("SBA Unguaranteed
         Sales"). First Western retains the right to service all such loans.
         The guaranteed portions are sold to either dealers in government
         guaranteed loans or institutional investors and certain of the
         unguaranteed portions have been sold in privately negotiated
         transactions between First Western and the purchaser.

         PMC Capital contributed approximately $45.7 million (aggregate
         principal balance due, including $34.4 million in loans transferred
         from PMIC and Western Financial to PMC Capital) of loans to the
         Partnership without recourse. (See Note 15.)

NOTE 3.  EXCESS SERVICING ASSET:

         By retaining the right to service the loan, First Western earns an
         interest rate spread equal to the difference between the interest rate
         on the loan and the interest rate paid to the purchaser on the sold
         portion (this difference being the "Servicing Spread"). On SBA
         Guaranteed Sales, First Western or PMC recognizes premium income by
         receiving either a cash premium, an excess servicing right on the sale
         or a combination of these elements. On SBA Guaranteed Sales that
         involve receiving the maximum premium, First Western retains the
         minimum Servicing Spread of 1% required by SBA regulations ("SBA
         Minimum Servicing"). When receiving the maximum premium, PMC or First
         Western would recognize as premium income the difference between the
         amount received from the purchaser and the aggregate of the
         outstanding principal amount of the guaranteed portion plus any value
         of the Servicing Spread in excess of normal servicing (the "Excess
         Servicing Spread").

         On SBA Guaranteed Sales, First Western recognizes premium income equal
         to the value of the Excess Servicing Spread, plus the difference, if
         any, between the amount received from the purchaser and the
         outstanding principal amount of the guaranteed portion sold as valued
         in accordance with EITF 88-11.

         The Board of Directors estimates the value of the Excess Servicing
         Spread based upon various factors including premiums realized on
         comparable transactions in the secondary market with a 1% servicing
         fee being retained, comparable market bids with normal servicing rates
         on SBA loans and the likelihood of prepayment. The value of the Excess
         Servicing Spread is recognized as premium income at the time of the
         sale and is concurrently capitalized as an asset on the Company's
         balance sheet (the "Excess Servicing Asset"), which is then amortized
         over the estimated life of the loan. In using this valuation method,
         the Company incorporated assumptions that market participants would
         use in estimating future net servicing income which included estimates
         of the cost of servicing per loan, the discount rate, prepayment
         speeds and default rates. During 1995, the Company completed a
         reassessment of the method used to amortize the Excess Servicing
         Asset. Historically, the Company had amortized the Excess Servicing




                                      F-17

                       PMC CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3.  EXCESS SERVICING ASSET: (CONTINUED)

         Asset based upon the estimated life for each loan at the time of sale,
         expectation of prepayments and other considerations. When a loan was
         paid in full, the remaining unamortized Excess Servicing Asset, if
         any, was charged against income. Considering the above factors and the
         Company's historical portfolio performance, the Company extended to
         the expected remaining life of the related loans, on a pooled basis,
         the period over which the remaining Excess Servicing Asset would be
         amortized for loans originated and sold prior to January 1, 1995. The
         Excess Servicing Asset is amortized on an accelerated method over the
         estimated remaining lives of the related pool assets. There can be no
         assurance of the accuracy of management's prepayment estimates. If
         prepayments occur at a faster rate than expected, the amortization of
         the Excess Servicing Asset will be accelerated as a charge to
         earnings. If actual prepayments occur at a slower rate than estimated,
         cash flows from the Excess Servicing Spread would exceed previously
         expected amounts and total income in future periods would be enhanced.

         The sale of the unguaranteed portion of SBA loans has also generated
         an Excess Servicing Asset to the extent that the Servicing Spread
         exceeds the normal servicing fee. (See Note 8.)

         Pursuant to SFAS No. 122, impairment of the Excess Servicing Asset is
         measured based on its fair value. In measuring impairment at December
         31, 1996, the servicing portfolio was evaluated based upon the
         predominant risk characteristics which the Company has determined to
         be prepayment and payment default risks. The Company evaluated the
         serviced portfolio for both the Excess Servicing Asset related to SBA
         Guaranteed Sales and related to the sale of the unguaranteed portion
         of SBA loans in 1994 (the "SBA Unguaranteed Sale"). Based upon current
         prepayment assumptions, estimates of default rates and a discount
         factor considering the current interest rate environment, it has been
         determined that there was no impairment reserve required as of
         December 31, 1996. As a result of an increase in the rate of
         prepayment of loans during 1996, the Company accelerated the
         amortization of its Excess Servicing Asset related to the SBA
         Unguaranteed Sale by $780,000. The related allowance for credit losses
         on loans sold was also adjusted by a similar amount as a result of
         these prepayments. The acceleration of the Excess Servicing Asset
         amortization is included in the schedule below.

         The activity in the excess servicing asset is summarized as follows:

NOTE 5.  NOTES PAYABLE:

         PMC has a $15 million uncollateralized revolving credit facility which
         expires May 1998. Advances pursuant to the credit facility bear
         interest at the Company's option at the bank's prime rate less 50 basis
         points or the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 175 basis
         points. The credit facility requires the Company to meet certain
         covenants, the most restrictive of which includes that the ratio of net
         charge-offs to net loans receivable will not exceed 2%, and the ratio
         of assets to senior debt (as defined in the note agreement) will not
         fall below 150%. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no amounts
         outstanding pursuant to this credit facility and the Company was in
         compliance with all covenants of this facility. At December 31, 1995,
         PMC had a $10 million revolving credit facility which expired in 1996.

         PMC has consummated $35 million in private placements of
         uncollateralized notes. These borrowings have been utilized to fund
         commitments of the non-SBA lending program. The notes require the
         Company to meet certain covenants (terms are as defined in the
         applicable note agreement), the most restrictive of which require; (i)
         that net loans receivable exceed 150% of senior funded debt, (ii) the

NOTE 7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         OPERATING LEASES

         During 1991, the Company entered into an agreement to lease its
         corporate office space for a 15 year period from a corporation, a
         majority of whose principals are officers and directors of the
         Company. Leasehold improvements of $150,000 have been paid to the
         corporation for costs incurred during the build-out of the leased
         premises. The lease has been amended to allow the Company to terminate
         such lease without penalty upon 60 days written notice to the
         corporation. The Company has also entered into agreements to lease
         additional space in the same building for one year periods.

         The independent members of the Board of Directors decide on an annual
         basis whether PMC will continue the leases and the annual lease
         payment.

         At December 31, 1996, the Company has additional agreements to lease
         office space in Florida and Georgia.

         Rental expense amounted to approximately $213,000 , $203,000 and
         $176,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.

         Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 1996 are as follows:

         LOAN COMMITMENTS

         Loan commitments outstanding at December 31, 1996, to various
         prospective small business companies, including the unfunded portion
         of projects in the construction phase, amounted to approximately $45.9
         million. Of these commitments, $5.0 million are for loans to be
         originated by First Western, a portion of which will be sold pursuant
         to SBA Guaranteed Sales. These commitments are made in the ordinary
         course of the Company's business and in management's opinion, are
         generally on the same terms as those to existing borrowers.
         Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer
         provided that the terms established in the contract are met.
         Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and require payment
         of a fee. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being
         drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
         future cash requirements.

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 compensation
         to officers was approximately $1,382,000, $1,229,000 and $1,243,000,
         respectively.

         LITIGATION
         In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various
         proceedings and claims, the resolution of which will not, in
         management's opinion, have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 8.  CREDIT AND INTEREST RATE RISK:

         In connection with First Western's structured sale of a 94% portion of
         certain unguaranteed SBA loans during December 1994, the Company is
         subject to credit risk. Total proceeds from the sale amounted to $24.8
         million. Pursuant to the structured sale, the investors' protection
         from losses is provided by: (i) the subordination of the Company's
         right to receive payment on loans receivable totaling approximately
         $1.6 million at the time of sale ($1.0 million at December 31, 1996),
         (ii) the subordination of the Company's right to receive the Servicing
         Spread on those loans sold in the securitization ($1,335,000 at
         December 31, 1996, included in Excess Servicing Asset on the
         accompanying balance sheet) and (iii) cash deposits provided by the
         Company. At December 31, 1996, approximately $1,229,000 of cash
         deposits held in interest bearing accounts were restricted. In
         connection with this structured sale, a valuation reserve of $2.6
         million was established at the time of sale. At December 31, 1996 the
         valuation reserve was $1,533,000.

         In connection with the Company's investment in the Partnership, all
         payments of principal and interest on the loans contributed to the
         Partnership are to be deposited with the trustee and are used to pay
         the noteholders the required monthly principal and interest then due
         on the notes pursuant to the Trust Indenture (as defined below) prior
         to releasing any excess funds to the Partnership free and clear of the
         Trust Indenture. The Partnership's obligations to the noteholders are
         also collateralized by: (i) the differential between the outstanding
         principal balance remaining due on the underlying loans held by the
         Partnership and the balance due the noteholders, (ii) the reserve
         account established to provide liquidity to the noteholders ( the
         "Reserve Account") and (iii) money held in the operating accounts of
         the Partnership to the extent they are restricted pursuant to the
         terms of the trust indenture established by the noteholders, the
         Company and the Partnership (the "Trust Indenture"). The Trust
         Indenture provides for several covenants which would require, under
         certain circumstances, that the excess cash , after payment of the
         required principal and interest to the Partnership Noteholders (the
         "Excess Cash"), be retained in the Reserve Account until the covenants
         are in compliance. Of the assets of the Partnership at December 31,
         1996, approximately $280,000 was Excess Cash which was distributed to
         the Partners in January 1997.

         The Company has a fundamental policy that requires investment of at
         least 25% of its total assets in the lodging industry, and allows
         investment of up to 100% of total assets in this industry. At December
         31, 1996 and 1995, loans to businesses in the lodging industry
         comprised 44% and 55% of its total assets, respectively, and 77% and

NOTE 8.  CREDIT AND INTEREST RATE RISK: (CONTINUED)

         its loans receivable, net, respectively. There can be no assurance
         that the Company will continue to experience the positive results it
         has historically acheived from these lending activities or that market
         conditions will enable the Company to maintain or increase this level
         of loan concentration. Any economic factors that negatively impact the
         lodging industry could have a material adverse effect on the business
         of the Company. Additionally, loans to businesses located in Texas,
         Florida and Georgia currently comprise approximately 38%, 13% and 11%
         of the Company's outstanding loan portfolio, respectively. A decline
         in economic conditions in any of these states may adversely affect the
         Company.

         Net income of the Company is effected by the spread between the rate
         at which it borrows funds and the rate at which it loans these funds.
         The portfolios of PMC Capital, Western Financial and PMIC have
         typically been long-term and at fixed rates and the borrowed funds of
         these companies are typically long-term and at fixed rates. First
         Western originates variable rate loans and has utilized equity capital
         of PMC Capital and a structured sale in 1994 to obtain funds necessary
         to originate loans. If the yield on loans originated by the Company
         with funds obtained from borrowings or the issuance of preferred stock
         fails to cover the cost of such funds, the Company's cash flow will be
         reduced. During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate
         mismatches could negatively impact the Company's net income, dividend
         yield and the market price of the Common Stock. Most of the fixed rate
         loans that the Company originates have prepayment penalties. If
         interest rates decline, the Company may experience significant
         prepayments. Such prepayments, as well as scheduled repayments, are
         likely to be reloaned or invested at lower rates, which may have an
         adverse effect on the Company's ability to maintain distributions at
         existing levels.

NOTE 9.  CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY:

         PMIC has outstanding 30,000 shares of $100 par value, 3% cumulative
         preferred stock (the "3% Preferred Stock") and 40,000 shares of $100
         par value, 4% cumulative preferred stock (the "4% Preferred Stock").
         The 3% Preferred Stock and the 4% Preferred Stock (collectively the
         "Preferred Stock") are held by the SBA pursuant to the SBIA.

         PMIC is entitled to redeem, in whole or in part, the 3% Preferred
         Stock by paying 35% of the par value of these securities plus
         dividends accumulated and unpaid on the date of redemption. While the
         3% Preferred Stock may be redeemed, redemption is not mandatory.
         Dividends of approximately $90,000 on the 3% Preferred Stock were
         recognized during each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
         1994.

         The 4% Preferred Stock was issued during 1994 ($2,000,000) and 1995
         ($2,000,000), and must be redeemed at par no later than 15 years from
         the date of issuance. Dividends of approximately $160,000, $132,000
         and $22,000 were recognized on the 4% Preferred Stock during the years
         ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Neither series of Preferred Stock has any preemptive or conversion
         rights. The Preferred Stock provides for a liquidation preference in
         the amount of $100 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

NOTE 10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

         The Company has a dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan (the
         "Plan") for up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As amended,
         participants in the Plan have the option to reinvest all or a portion
         of dividends received plus an optional cash purchase of up to $10,000
         per month. The purchase price of the shares is 98% of the average of
         the high and low price of the common stock as published for the five
         trading days immediately prior to the dividend record date or prior to
         the optional cash payment purchase date, whichever is applicable.
         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company
         issued 291,042, 187,005 and 81,345 shares of common stock pursuant to
         the Plan for proceeds (through cash and the reinvestment of dividends)
         of approximately $3.7 million, $2.2 million and $1.2 million,
         respectively.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE COMPUTATIONS:

         The computations of earnings per common share are based on the
         weighted average number of shares outstanding of the Company. Earnings
         are defined as the net operating income and realized and unrealized
         gain (loss) on investments and are reduced by the preferred stock
         dividend requirements of PMIC. Preferred stock dividend requirements
         were approximately $250,000, $222,000 and $112,000 during the years
         ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The weighted
         average number of shares used in the computations of earnings per
         common share were 11.0 million, 10.8 million and 10.6 million for the
         years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 12. BORROWER ADVANCES:

         The Company finances several projects during the construction phase.
         At December 31, 1996, the Company was in the process of funding
         approximately $15.1 million in construction projects, of which $5.9
         million in funding remained. As part of the monitoring process to
         verify that the borrowers' cash equity is utilized for its intended
         purpose, the Company deposits amounts received from the borrowers and
         releases the funds upon presentation of appropriate supporting
         documentation. The Company had approximately $1.8 million and $2.3
         million in funds held on behalf of borrowers at December 31, 1996 and
         1995, respectively.

NOTE 13. PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

         The Company has a profit sharing plan available to its full-time
         employees after one year of employment. Vesting increases ratably to
         100% after the sixth year of employment. Pursuant to the profit
         sharing plan, the Company has expensed approximately $217,000,
         $188,000 and $168,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
         and 1994, respectively. Contributions to the profit sharing plan are
         at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         Pursuant to agreements between PMC Capital and its wholly owned
         subsidiaries, during the three years in the period ended December 31,
         1996, PMC provided certain services to the subsidiaries at no cost.
         These services and costs include salaries, rent and other general
         corporate expenses. However, PMC retains all cash premiums on First
         Western's SBA Guaranteed Sales ($1,937,000, $2,927,000 and $2,734,000
         during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively)
         as compensation for these services and for the working capital
         provided by PMC Capital to First Western.

         During December 1993, PMC Advisers entered into an investment
         management agreement with the Trust. The officers and certain trust
         managers of the Trust are officers and directors of PMC. Pursuant to
         its agreement with PMC Advisers, through June 30, 1996 the Trust paid
         PMC Advisers a base annual servicing fee of 0.50% of the average
         assets (as defined in the agreement) of the Trust under management
         plus an advisory fee of 1% of the average invested assets (as defined
         in the agreement ) of the Trust. In addition, PMC Advisers earned an
         advisory fee up to 1% of the average invested assets upon meeting
         certain criteria in regards to investment returns to the Trust
         shareholders. All such advisory fees were reduced by 50% with respect
         to the value of average invested assets that exceed the beneficiaries'
         equity of the Trust as a result of leverage or the issuance of
         preferred shares.

         Effective July 1, 1996, the Investment Management Agreement was
         amended to include compensation to PMC Advisers for its assistance in
         any issuance of debt or equity securities for PMC Commercial. Such
         compensation includes a consulting fee based on (i) 12.5% of any
         offering fees incurred by PMC Commercial pursuant to the public
         offering or private placement of its common shares, and (ii) 50% of
         any issuance or placement fees incurred by PMC Commercial pursuant to
         the public offering or private placement of its debt securities or
         preferred shares of beneficial interest. Of the amount of servicing
         and advisory fees paid or payable to PMC Advisers as of December 31,
         1996, approximately $251,000 was earned pursuant to a public offering
         of common shares by PMC Commercial in July 1996.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: (CONTINUED)

         Pursuant to the amended Investment Management Agreement, the quarterly
         servicing and advisory fee (the "Base Fee") is based on the assets and
         capital structure of PMC Commercial. As defined in the Investment
         Management Agreement, the Base Fee is the sum of (i) 0.4167% (1.67% on
         an annual basis) of the lesser of (a) the average quarterly value of
         common equity capital or (b) the average quarterly value of all
         invested assets and (ii) 0.21875% (0.875% on an annual basis) of the
         difference between the average quarterly value of all invested assets
         and the average quarterly value of common equity capital. For purposes
         of calculating the Base Fee, the average quarterly value of common
         equity capital shall not be increased by the proceeds received from
         any public offering of common shares by PMC Commercial (other than
         pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan or any employee/trust
         manager benefit plan) during the 180 calendar day period immediately
         following such public offering. In no event will the aggregate annual
         fees charged under the new agreement be greater than that which would
         have been charged had there been no revision to the investment
         management agreement.

         Pursuant to the applicable investment management agreement between PMC
         Advisers and PMC Commercial, PMC Advisers earned $1.6 million, $1.2
         million and $429,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
         1994, respectively.

         PMC CAPITAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

         On November 13, 1996, the Partnership (a newly formed special purpose
         affiliate of the Company) completed a private placement of
         approximately $40.7 million of its Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes,
         Series 1996-A (the "Notes"). The Notes, issued at par, which have a
         stated maturity in 2005 and bear interest at the rate of 6.725% per
         annum, are collateralized by approximately $45.7 million of loans
         contributed by PMC Capital to the Partnership. In connection with this
         private placement, the Notes were given a rating of "Aa2" by Moody's
         Investors Service. The Partnership has the exclusive obligation for
         the repayment of the Notes, and the holders of the Notes have no
         recourse to PMC Capital or its other subsidiaries or their assets in
         the event of nonpayment of the loans. The net proceeds from the
         issuance of the Notes (approximately $37.5 million before giving
         effect to payment of offering costs of approximately $396,000 and
         after giving effect to the funding of a $2.04 million reserve fund
         held by the trustee as collateral) were distributed to PMC Capital.
         The net effect of the contributed loans less the distributed funds
         comprises the limited partners capital on the following condensed
         statement of assets, liabilities and partners' capital.

         The following is the condensed statement of assets, liabilities and
         partners' capital for PMC Capital Limited Partnership as of December
         31, 1996 and for the period November 8, 1996 (inception) to December
         31, 1996:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 17. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

         The estimates of fair value as required by SFAS No. 107 differ from
         the value of the financial assets and liabilities determined by the
         Board of Directors primarily as a result of the effects of discounting
         future cash flows. Considerable judgement is required to interpret
         market data and develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the
         estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the
         amounts of the Company could realize in a current market exchange or
         the amount that ultimately will be realized by the Company upon
         maturity or disposition.

         The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments
         pursuant to SFAS No. 107 are as follows:

</TABLE>

          Loans receivable, net: The estimated fair value for all fixed rate
          loans is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the
          current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
          similar credit ratings and maturities. The impact of delinquent loans
          on the estimation of the fair values described above is not
          considered to have a material effect and accordingly, delinquent
          loans have been disregarded in the valuation methodologies employed.

          Cash and cash equivalents, restricted investments and excess
          servicing asset: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimation of
          fair value.

          Debentures payable and notes payable: The estimated fair value is
          based on present value calculation based on prices of the same or
          similar instruments after considering risk, current interest rates
          and remaining maturities.


NOTE 18.  WRITE-DOWN OF REGISTRATION COSTS:

          In 1994, PMC Investment Corporation ("PMIC") filed a registration
          statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register
          shares of its common stock. The Company had incurred approximately
          $136,000 in costs in connection with the filing of the registration
          statement. PMIC, a licensed specialized small business investment
          company, uses long-term funds provided by the SBA through the
          issuance of Debentures (which are guaranteed by the SBA and on which
          the interest rate is reduced through an SBA subsidy of 3% during the
          first five years). Due to the lack of availability of SBA subsidized
          Debentures or preferred stock for the SSBIC program, the Company
          believed the registration would not be completed in the near term.
          Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
          expensed the costs of registration.

To the General Partner
PMC Capital Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and partners'
capital of PMC Capital Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December
31, 1996, and the related statements of income, partners' capital and cash
flows for the period from November 8, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's General
Partner. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 the General Partner, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 PMC Capital Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the period from November 8, 1996 (inception) to December 31,

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

          BUSINESS:

          PMC Capital Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") was formed as a
          Delaware limited partnership in November 1996 to act as a special
          purpose affiliate of PMC Capital, Inc. ("PMC Capital"). PMC Capital
          is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that has
          elected to operate as a business development company under the
          Investment Company Act of 1940. PMC engages in the business of
          originating loans to small businesses either directly or through its
          three principal subsidiaries. The Partnership was established to
          acquire loans from PMC Capital and to issue fixed-rate debt through a
          private placement. PMC Capital is either directly or indirectly the
          sole partner of the Partnership.

          PMC Capital Corp. is a Delaware corporation formed in November 1996 to
          be the independent trustee of the general partner of the Partnership.
          PMC Trust 1996-A is a Delaware business trust formed in November 1996
          to be the general partner of the Partnership.

          USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
          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.

          VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

          Loans receivable are carried at amortized cost which is the loan
          principal balance less deferred fees and discounts, unless there is
          doubt as to the realization of the loan (a "Problem Loan"). A
          valuation reserve is established for a Problem Loan based on the
          creditor's payment history, collateral value, guarantor support and
          other factors.

          Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as
          non-accrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of
          principal or interest for a period of more than 60 days. If a loan or
          a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful or is partially
          reserved or charged-off, the loan is classified as non-accrual. Loans
          that are on a current payment status or past due less than 60 days
          may also be classified as non-accrual if repayment in full of
          principal and/or interest is in doubt.

          Deferred fees consist of non-refundable fees less direct loan
          origination costs. These fees are being recognized over the expected
          life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield.

          REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS

          Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the
          proceeds from the sale and the cost basis of the investment, without
          regard to unrealized gains and losses previously recognized. The gain
          or loss calculated also includes loans written-off or charged-down
          during the year and recoveries of loans written-off or charged-down
          in prior years.

          Other changes in the value of investments are included as changes in
          the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the
          statement of income.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)

          INTEREST INCOME

          Interest income on loans is accrued as earned. The accrual of
          interest is generally suspended when the related loan becomes 60 days
          past due ("Non-accrual Loan"). Interest income on a Non-accrual Loan
          is recognized on the cash basis.

          DEFERRED BORROWING COSTS

          Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are
          included in deferred borrowing costs. These costs are amortized over
          the estimated life of the related obligation.

          STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

          The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
          original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for
          purposes of the statement of cash flows.

NOTE 2.   LOANS RECEIVABLE:

          On November 13, 1996, PMC Capital contributed approximately $45.7
          million of loans (the "Contributed Loans") to the Partnership without
          recourse to PMC Capital.

          At December 31, 1996 their was no recorded investment in loans
          identified as impaired.

          The Company's portfolio of investments consists of loans to borrowers
          located principally in the southern portion of the United States. The
          most significant concentration of loans were as noted below:

                                            === 
</TABLE>

         There were no loans receivable; (i) greater than 60 days past due,
         (ii) on which litigation against the borrowers had commenced, or (iii)
         which were in the process of liquidation at December 31, 1996.


NOTE 3.  CREDIT RISK:

         At December 31, 1996, loans to businesses in the lodging industry
         comprised 85% of loans receivable and 74% of total assets. There can
         be no assurance that the Partnership will experience the positive
         results which PMC Capital has historically achieved from these lending
         activities. Any economic factors that negatively impact the lodging
         industry could have a material adverse effect on the business of the
         Company. Additionally, loans to businesses located in Texas and
         Florida currently comprise approximately 42% and 10% of the Company's
         outstanding loan portfolio, respectively. A decline in economic
         conditions in any of these states may adversely affect the
         Partnership.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4.    NOTES PAYABLE:

           On November 13, 1996, the Partnership completed a private placement
           of approximately $40.7 million of its Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes,
           Series 1996-A (the "Notes"). The Notes, issued at par, which have a
           stated maturity in 2005 and bear interest at the rate of 6.725% per
           annum, are collateralized by approximately $45.7 million of loans
           contributed by PMC Capital to the Partnership. In connection with
           this private placement, the Notes were given a rating of "Aa2" by
           Moody's Investors Service. The Partnership has the exclusive
           obligation for the repayment of the Notes, and the holders of the
           Notes have no recourse to PMC Capital or its other subsidiaries or
           their assets in the event of nonpayment of the loans. Required
           principal payments to the noteholders are based upon the collection
           of principal on the Contributed Loans. All principal collected on
           the Contributed Loans during the monthly period (as defined in the
           Trust Indenture) are used to make the required principal payment on
           the first business day of the following month.

NOTE 5.    PARTNERS' CAPITAL:

           The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes (approximately $37.5
           million before giving effect to payment of offering costs of
           approximately $396,000 and after giving effect to the funding of a
           $2.04 million reserve fund held by the trustee as collateral) were
           distributed to PMC Capital. Pursuant to an agreement between PMC
           Capital and PMC Trust 1996-A, PMC Trust 1996-A waived any rights it
           had under the partnership agreement to receive any portion of such
           distribution.

NOTE 6.    FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

           The estimates of fair value as required by Statement of Financial
           Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107 differ from the value of the
           financial assets and liabilities determined by the General Partner
           primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash
           flows. Considerable judgement is required to interpret market data
           and develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates
           presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
           Partnership could realize in a current market exchange or the amount
           that ultimately will be realized by the Partnership upon maturity or
           disposition.

           The estimated fair values of the Partnership's  financial instruments
           pursuant to SFAS No. 107 are as follows:

<TABLE>

                                            1996

    Restricted investments .....     5,444         5,444
Liabilities:
    Notes payable ..............    40,183        39,770
</TABLE>


           Loans receivable, net: The estimated fair value for all fixed rate
           loans is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the
           current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
           similar credit ratings and maturities. The impact of delinquent
           loans on the estimation of the fair values described above is not
           considered to have a material effect and accordingly, delinquent
           loans have been disregarded in the valuation methodologies employed.

NOTE 6.    FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: (CONTINUED)


           Restricted investments : The carrying amount is a reasonable
           estimation of fair value.

           Notes payable: The estimated fair value is based on present value
           calculation using prices of the same or similar instruments after
           considering risk, current interest rates and remaining maturities.

NOTE 7.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

           At December 31, 1996, the balance in due to affiliates of $83,000
           was a result of payments on loans receivable of affiliates deposited
           directly by the borrower into the Partnership's operating bank
           account. The balance in due from affiliates of $826,000 was a result
           of payments on the Partnership's loans receivable deposited directly
           by the borrower into an affiliate's operating bank account. These
           balances were transferred to the appropriate company subsequent to
           year end.

ITEM 27.          PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT

                  The Registrant owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common
                  stock or is the sole owner (either directly or indirectly) of
                  the following: Western Financial Capital Corporation ("WFCC"),
                  a Florida corporation, First Western SBLC, Inc. ("First
                  Western"), a Florida corporation, PMC Investment Corporation
                  ("PMIC"), PMC Funding Corp., a Florida corporation ("PMC
                  Funding"), PMC Advisers, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership
                  ("PMC Advisers"), PMC Capital Corp. 1996-A, a Texas
                  corporation, PMC Trust 1996-A, a Delaware Trust, and PMC
                  Capital Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership.
                  WFCC, First Western and PMIC are registered under the
                  Investment Company Act. Each of the investment company
                  subsidiaries is included in the consolidated financial
                  statements of PMC Capital included herein. PMC Advisers, PMC
                  Funding, PMC Capital Corp. 1996-A, PMC Trust 1996-A and PMC
                  Capital Limited Partnership are not consolidated because they
                  are not investment companies.

ITEM 28.          NUMBER OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

                  As of May 27, 1997 there were approximately 1,794 holders of
                  record of the Registrant's common stock, par value    $.01 per
                  share.

ITEM 29.          INDEMNIFICATION

                  Section 607.0850 of the Florida Statutes and Article IX of the
Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the Bylaws of the Registrant provide
for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers under certain
circumstances. Additionally, in 1992, each of the Company's directors entered
into an indemnification agreement with the Company which provides for such
director's indemnification under certain circumstances.

                  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                  The Registrant's books and records are located at 17290 
                  Preston Road, 3rd Floor, Dallas, Texas 75252, c/o Lance B.

ITEM 33.          UNDERTAKINGS

                  A.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                           (1)      To file, during any period in which offers
                                    or sales are being made, a post-effective
                                    amendment to this registration statement:

                                    (i)     To include any prospectus required
                                            by Section 10(a)(3) of the 
                                            Securities Act of 1933;

                                    (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any
                                            facts or events arising after the
                                            effective date of the registration
                                            statement (or the most recent
                                            post-effective amendment thereof)
                                            which, individually or in the
                                            aggregate, represent a fundamental
                                            change in the information set forth
                                            in the registration statement; and

                                    (iii)   To include any material information
                                            with respect to the plan of
                                            distribution not previously
                                            disclosed in the registration
                                            statement or any material change to
                                            such information in the registration
                                            statement.

                           (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any
                                    liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
                                    each such post-effective amendment shall be
                                    deemed to be a new registration statement
                                    relating to the securities offered therein,
                                    and the offering of such securities at that
                                    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
                                    fide offering thereof.

                           (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
                                    post-effective amendment any of the
                                    securities being registered which remain
                                    unsold at the termination of the offering.

                  B.       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
                  under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
                  officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
                  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has
                  been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
                  Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
                  policy as  expressed in the Securities Act and is,

                  therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for 
                  indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
                  payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a 
                  director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
                  the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
                  asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer or
                  controlling person in connection with the securities being
                  registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 
                  counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
                  submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
                  whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
                  expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
                  final adjudication of such issue.
