NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Interim Financial Statements:

      The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PMC Capital, Inc. (“PMC Capital”) and its wholly-owned regulated investment company subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us” or “our”) as of June 30, 2000 and the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have not been audited by independent accountants. We believe that the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2000 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

      Certain notes and other information have been omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us 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.

      The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Note 2.  Reclassification:

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

Note 3.  Business:

      PMC Capital is a diversified closed-end management investment company that operates as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). We are primarily engaged in the business of originating loans to small businesses either directly or through our three principal subsidiaries: First Western SBLC, Inc. (“First Western”), PMC Investment Corporation (“PMCIC”) and Western Financial Capital Corporation (“Western Financial”).

  •  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 SBA  7(a) program (the “SBA 7(a) program”).
 
  •  PMCIC is a licensed specialized small business investment company (“SSBIC”) under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (“SBIA”). PMCIC provides long-term collateralized loans to eligible small businesses owned by “disadvantaged” persons, as defined under the regulations of the SBA. The interest rates on loans originated by PMCIC are either fixed or variable based on the prime lending rate (“Prime Rate”). As an SSBIC, PMCIC is eligible to obtain long-term, fixed-rate funding through the SBA by issuing debentures which are guaranteed by the SBA.
 
  •  Western Financial is a licensed small business investment company (“SBIC”) under the SBIA that provides long-term loans to borrowers whether or not they qualify as “disadvantaged”. The interest rates on loans originated by Western Financial are either fixed or variable based on the Prime Rate. As an SBIC, Western Financial is eligible to obtain long-term, fixed-rate funding through the SBA through the issuance of debentures which are guaranteed by the SBA.

      In addition, 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 its subsidiaries. These loans are made to borrowers who exceed the eligibility requirements of the SBA 7(a) program or SBIC programs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

      We primarily originate loans to individuals and small business concerns in the lodging industry. We also target the medical, food service, service, retail and commercial real estate industries. We are a national lender that primarily lends to businesses in the southwest and southeast regions of the United States. In addition to our lending operations, we earn revenue as an investment advisor pursuant to a fee arrangement with PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial”). PMC Commercial is a real estate investment trust and our affiliate as a result of common management.

      First Western, PMCIC and Western Financial are registered under the 1940 Act as diversified closed-end management investment companies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMC and its wholly-owned regulated investment company subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      In addition, PMC Capital is either directly or indirectly the sole shareholder or partner of several non-investment company act subsidiaries. These are: PMC Advisers, Ltd. and its subsidiary (“PMC Advisers”); PMC Funding Corp. and its subsidiary (“PMC Funding”); PMC Capital Limited Partnership (the “1996 Partnership”) and its related general partner and trust; PMC Capital, L.P. 1998-1 (the “1998 Partnership”), and its related general partner and PMC Capital, L.P. 1999-1 (the “1999 Partnership” and collectively with the 1996 Partnership and the 1998 Partnership, the “Limited Partnerships”) and its related general partner.

      The accounts of PMC Advisers, PMC Funding, and the Limited Partnerships are accounted for by the equity method of accounting in conformity with Federal securities laws. PMC Advisers acts as the investment advisor for PMC Commercial. PMC Funding holds assets on our behalf. The Limited Partnerships have been formed as Delaware limited partnerships to act as our special purpose affiliates that acquire loans from us and issue debt through private placements.

Note 4.  Dividends Paid and Declared:

      During January 2000, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock and a special dividend of $0.015 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on December 31, 1999. During April 2000, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on March 31, 2000. During June 2000, we declared a dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on June 30, 2000 which was paid during July 2000.

Note 5.  SBA Debentures Payable and Notes Payable

      During the six months ended June 30, 2000 we paid in full approximately $7.3 million of SBA debentures at their maturity.

      In addition, we issued a $3.0 million SBA debenture during July 2000. The debenture matures on September 30, 2010 and bears an interest rate of 8.20% until September 27, 2000 at which time the interest rate will be set by the SBA based on a spread above the then current 10 year United States Treasury note yield. Based on current market conditions, the note rate is expected to be approximately 8% (including the mandatory SBA annual fee).

      During July 2000 we paid in full approximately $6.7 million of senior notes with an interest rate of 7.2% at their maturity. Concurrently, we issued $10 million of senior notes with a floating rate of interest which is reset on a quarterly basis at LIBOR plus 1.4%. The note matures on July 19, 2004 and the interest rate is initially set at 8.13% until July 31, 2000.

      Included above are the accounts of the Limited Partnerships. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Limited Partnerships had $2,822,000 and $1,957,000 in total income, respectively, and net income of $1,019,000 and $785,000 before the elimination of the net cash flow relating to the interest-only strip receivables. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Limited Partnerships had $5,784,000 and $3,556,000 in total income, respectively, and net income of $2,156,000 and $1,451,000 before the elimination of the net cash flow relating to the interest-only strip receivables.

Note 7.  Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments:

      In determining the fair value of the interest-only strip receivable related to our securitization and sale transactions, we utilize certain assumptions which include:

         
SBA 7(a) Non-SBA 7(a)
Transactions Transactions


Prepayment rate(a) Minimum 22% CPR Minimum 8% CPR
Loss rate(b) Approximately 0.5% per anum Approximately 0.5% per anum
Discount rate(c) 14.2% 14.2%


 
(a) CPR is a commonly used term for prepayment speeds and is an abbreviation for constant prepayment rate. Our prepayment rate is based on current performance of the respective loan pools, adjusted for anticipated principal payments considering the current loan pools and similar loans.
 
(b) Credit exposure exists to the extent of possible default on the underlying collateral requiring payment from anticipated future residual interests. We believe that a 0.5% loss rate covers this inherent risk.
 
(c) The rate is as of June 30, 2000 and is based upon our estimate of comparable rates of discount which would be used by potential purchasers of similar assets.

Note 8.  Earnings Per Common Share Computations:

      The computations of basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of determining the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding were increased for the effect of stock options by approximately 6,000 and 3,000 shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. For the purpose of determining the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding were not impacted by the effect of stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 since the stock options were anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share were 11.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

      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 PMCIC. Preferred stock dividend requirements were approximately $63,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and approximately $125,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

Note 9.  Commitments and Contingencies:

      Loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2000, to various small business companies, including the unfunded portion of projects in the construction phase, amounted to approximately $40.3 million. Of these commitments, $13.2 million are for loans to be originated by First Western, a portion of which will be sold into the secondary market. These commitments are made in the ordinary course of our business and, in our 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.

and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

 
General

      Our operations include originating, servicing and selling commercial loans. We sell the government guaranteed portion of our loans originated under the SBA 7(a) program and sell commercial mortgage loans through securitizations and structured financings. Historically, we have retained servicing rights and residual interests in all loans sold. Servicing rights include the right to collect payments on behalf of the loan purchaser, monitor the loan for any defaults and address any problems in collecting the required principal and interest payments. We retain a residual interest on sold loans by owning a percentage of the related loan and by establishing cash reserves to cover future losses relating to the sold loans. In addition, we operate as an investment manager to evaluate properties and loans and to service loans and lease contracts pursuant to fee arrangements with PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial”). Our revenue sources include the following:

  •  Interest earned on commercial loans originated and retained including the effect of commitment fees collected at the inception of the loan.
 
  •  Fee income from the management of PMC Commercial’s property and loan portfolios.
 
  •  Equity interests in the income of our non-investment company unconsolidated subsidiaries.
 
  •  Premiums recognized from the sale of the government guaranteed portion of SBA  7(a) program loans into the secondary market.
 
  •  Interest earned on temporary (short-term) investments.
 
  •  Gains relating to securitizations and structured loan sales.
 
  •  Other fees, including: late fees, prepayment fees, construction monitoring and site visit fees.

      Our earnings depend primarily on the level of interest and related portfolio income and net realized and unrealized earnings on our investment portfolio after deducting interest incurred on borrowed funds and operating expenses. Interest income includes the stated interest rate earned on a loan, the collection and amortization of loan origination fees and original issue discount. Our ability to generate interest income is dependent on economic, regulatory and competitive factors that influence interest rates and loan originations, and our ability to secure financing for our investment activities. For a more detailed description of the risk factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations, see the risk factors section in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

      Our retained loan portfolio at value was $118.2 million and $106.3 million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, we originated investments in loans totaling $24.1 million, $84.3 million and $66.4 million and received repayments and sold loans totaling $10.8 million, $90.2 million and $75.5 million, respectively. As a result, our outstanding portfolio increased by 11.2% during the first half of 2000. Primarily as a result of the structured loan sale in June 1999, the total loan portfolio decreased by 9% from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, principal collections including prepayments (as an annualized percentage of our total retained loan portfolio), were 11%, 15% and, 19%, respectively. Prepayments generally increase during times of declining interest rates. When fixed interest rate loans are paid off prior to their maturity, we receive the immediate benefit of prepayment charges. Prepayment charges result in one-time increases in our other investment income. The proceeds from the prepayments we have received were invested initially in temporary

investments and have been re-loaned or committed to be re-loaned at lower interest rates. These lower interest rates have had an adverse effect on our results of operations and depending upon the rate of future prepayments may have an impact on our ability to maintain shareholder distributions at current levels. The impact of the lower lending rates was partially offset by reduced cost of borrowings. First Western’s loans (all variable-rate) have no prepayment fees in accordance with SBA policy. We believe that as a result of the current interest rate environment the prepayment activity on fixed interest rate loans may continue at the lower levels that we experienced during 1999 and the first half of 2000, during the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2000.

      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 of the applicable period (the “Prime Rate”). The spread over the Prime Rate charged by First Western ranges from 0.5% to 2.75%.

      The Prime Rates for variable-rate loans are as follows:

                         
2000 1999 1998



First Quarter 8.50 % 7.75 % 8.50 %
Second Quarter 9.00 % 7.75 % 8.50 %
Third Quarter(1) 8.00 % 8.50 %
Fourth Quarter 8.25 % 8.25 %


(1)  Effective July 1, 2000, the Prime Rate is 9.5%.

      We receive other investment income from various sources including prepayment fees, late fees, construction monitoring fees and site visit fees. The amount of other investment income earned will vary based on the volume of loans funded, the timing and amount of financings, the volume of loans which prepay, the mix of loans (construction versus non-construction), the rate and type of loans originated (whether fixed or variable) and the general level of interest rates.

      Expenses primarily consist of interest expense, salaries and related benefits and overhead. General and administrative expenditures consist primarily of insurance, advertising and promotional expense, telephone services, corporate printing costs, commissions and general office expenses. In addition, we have other administrative costs which consist of profit sharing plan, rent, legal and accounting, SBA fees and directors and shareholders expense. Our operations are centralized in Dallas, Texas where our headquarters are located. We presently have additional business development offices located in Atlanta, Georgia, Phoenix, Arizona, Arlington, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri.

Certain Accounting Considerations

      We have transferred assets to special purpose entities in connection with securitizations and structured financings in order to obtain working capital to originate new loans. The transfer of assets that qualifies for sale treatment under SFAS No. 125 (“Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”) is generally accounted for by the seller by: (i) derecognizing all assets sold, (ii) recognizing all assets obtained and liabilities incurred at their relative fair value, and (iii) recognizing all assets retained at their allocated previous carrying amount based on relative fair values. We typically receive cash and retain the right to receive contractual servicing fees and the right to receive future interest income on loans transferred that exceed the contractually specified servicing fee, typically on the guaranteed portion of an SBA 7(a) program loan, in exchange for a portion of the loan. The difference between (i) the carrying value of the portion of loans sold and (ii) the sum of (a) cash received, (b) servicing rights, and (c) the interest-only strip receivable retained, constitutes the gain on sale.

13


Table of Contents

      In accordance with SFAS No. 125, we establish a servicing asset to the extent we receive contractual compensation for servicing loans which is in excess of adequate compensation to service these loans. Servicing the sold portion of government guaranteed loans requires First Western to retain a minimum servicing spread of 1%. The amount of this spread exceeds adequate compensation to service these loans. Accordingly, we have recorded a servicing asset relating to the servicing of the sold portion of First Western’s loans. 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.

      As of the date a securitization or structured financing is completed, an asset is established and classified as an “interest-only strip receivable.” This receivable is initially valued based on management’s estimate of the anticipated discounted future cash flows retained by us related to the pool of securitized loans. Management’s assumptions include estimates of prepayment speeds, default rates and future loan losses. The discount rate is a market rate based on interest rate levels at the time of completion of the transaction considering the risks inherent in the transaction.

      On a quarterly basis, we measure the fair value of the interest-only strip receivable based upon the future anticipated cash flows discounted to reflect the current market interest rates for investments of this type. Any appreciation (depreciation) of the interest-only strip receivable is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as an unrealized gain (loss) on investments.

      In addition, on a quarterly basis, income generated by the interest-only strip receivable is recognized based on an “internal rate of return” (the “IRR”), which during the initial reporting period after completion of the securitization is the market rate used in valuing the interest-only strip receivable. Management updates the anticipated future cash flows on a quarterly basis and determines a revised IRR based on the recorded interest-only strip receivable as of the balance sheet date. If during any evaluation of the interest-only strip receivable it is determined that the IRR is lower than a “risk free” rate for an asset of similar duration, a realized loss will be incurred which adjusts the recorded value of the interest-only strip receivable to the market value.

      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, default rates and future loan losses. There can be no assurance of the accuracy of these estimates. If the prepayment speeds occur at a faster rate than anticipated or future loan losses occur quicker than expected or in amounts greater than expected, the amortization of the servicing asset will be accelerated and the value of the interest-only strip receivable will decline. If prepayments occur slower than anticipated or future loan losses are less than expected, cash flows would exceed estimated amounts and total income in future periods would be enhanced.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

      Net income decreased by $2,440,000 (31%), from $7,760,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $5,320,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. As more fully detailed below, the most significant reason for this decrease in net income was the gain of approximately $2.6 million recognized from the securitization and sale of a loan portfolio during June 1999. There was no comparable transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were approximately 11.8 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

      Interest income: Interest income decreased by $313,000 (4%), from $7,641,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $7,328,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Interest income includes the interest earned on loans, the interest earned on short-term (“temporary”) investments, up-front fees collected including the accretion of up-front fees and the interest earned on the interest-only strip receivables. This overall decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in income from up-front fees recognized and the decline in the weighted average interest rate on loans outstanding. This decline was primarily a result of the loans sold in the June 1999 securitization having a higher interest rate than the loans originated with the proceeds from the securitization.

      Interest income on loans decreased by $374,000 (5%), from $7,008,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $6,634,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest income was a

14


Table of Contents

result of the recognition of commitment fee income and a decrease in the weighted average portfolio outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 we recognized approximately $450,000 more in commitment fees than during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in commitment fees is attributable to less loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2000 (a reduction of approximately $10 million) when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the recognition of previously deferred commitment fees on loans sold in the June 1999 securitization. In addition, the average retained loan portfolio decreased by 3% to $113.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $116.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease noted above was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate primarily related to an increase in the Prime Rate causing interest income to be increased on our variable interest rate portfolio.

      Interest on other investments (which consists of interest on temporary investments and the interest-only strip receivables) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $694,000 which was $61,000 more than the $633,000 in interest income on other investments earned during the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the interest income earned on the interest-only strip receivable that was established during June 30, 1999 as a result of the securitization and sale of loans in June 1999. This increase was partially offset by the interest income earned during the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the proceeds from the securitization and sale of loans in June 1999. The proceeds had been substantially reinvested in loans by the end of March 2000.

      Premium income: Premium income decreased by $27,000 (7%), from $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $355,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily a result of reduced loan sales to the secondary market. Our proceeds from the sale of the government guaranteed portion of loans (under the SBA 7(a) Program) decreased from $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

      Other investment income, net: Other investment income, net, decreased by $143,000 (34%), from $417,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $274,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in prepayment fees received during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

      Other income, net: Other income, net, decreased by $68,000 (6%), from $1,110,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,042,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Other income, which primarily consists of income relating to the advisory services provided to PMC Commercial, remained consistent when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2000 to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

      Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries: As a BDC, we do not consolidate the operations of our non-investment company subsidiaries. Instead we are required to recognize the income of our non-investment company subsidiaries under the “equity method” of accounting. Earnings of our unconsolidated subsidiaries, primarily the Limited Partnerships established by us in connection with the structured sales of our loans, are reflected as a single line item (Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries) on our consolidated statements of income.

      The differential between the interest and other loan related income received by the Limited Partnerships on the loans transferred to them by PMC Capital and the interest paid by the Limited Partnerships on the notes issued by the Limited Partnerships in connection with the structured sales, less the net cash flow relating to the interest-only strip receivable on our balance sheet and any loan losses, contributes to the revenues of PMC Capital through its equity ownership in the Limited Partnerships.

      Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased by $29,000 (2%), from $1,494,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,465,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

      Equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased as a result of the following:

  •  We recognized additional income from unconsolidated subsidiaries due to the formation of the 1999 Limited Partnership during June 1999. We recognized $726,000 in net income related to

15


Table of Contents

the retained interests in the loans transferred to the 1998 Partnership and the 1999 Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $346,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

      The increase from the 1998 and 1999 Limited Partnerships was partially offset by :

  •  The net income of PMC Advisers was $246,000 during the six months ended June  30, 2000 compared to $316,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was related to a reduction in fees generated from the lease supervision agreement entered into with PMC Commercial. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 we earned $81,000 in fees related to the acquisition by PMC Commercial of four properties. There was no comparable transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition we had a reduction in fees during the six months ended June 30, 2000 since PMC Commercial sold a property during June 2000.
 
  •  PMC Funding had a loss of $12,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to a $168,000 gain during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The primary reason for such change was the recognition of a gain on the sale of an asset during the first quarter of 1999. There was no comparable transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
 
  •  Profits from the 1996 Partnership decreased. The 1996 Partnership had net income of $505,000 and $664,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the continued reduction in outstanding principal balance of loans owned by the 1996 Partnership.

      Operating expenses, not including interest expense: Operating expenses, not including interest, increased by $114,000 (4%) from $2,719,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2,833,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Operating expenses are comprised of salaries and related benefits, general and administrative, profit sharing plan, rent, legal and accounting, SBA fees and directors and shareholders expense. The largest operating expense is salaries and related benefits which consist of salaries for the Company’s officers and employees who provide all of our management, advisory and portfolio functions, including marketing, servicing, accounting and portfolio analysis. We had an increase in salaries and related benefits of $94,000 (5%), from $1,901,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,995,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in salaries and related benefits was attributable to an increase in our marketing staff including the salaries attributable to our new loan production offices in Kansas City, Missouri and Arlington, Texas.

      Interest expense: Interest expense decreased by $118,000 (4%), from $2,647,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2,529,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense results primarily from interest on (i) the Company’s $38.3 million of unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 7.4% and weighted average remaining maturity of 2.7 years as of June 30, 2000, (ii) $28.3 million of debentures due to the SBA, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.0% and weighted average remaining maturity of 4.1 years as of June 30, 2000, and (iii) balances outstanding on our revolving credit facility ($2.7 million at June 30, 2000). During July 1999, we issued an additional $3.3 million in senior debt, during September 1999 we repaid at maturity $3.5 million in SBA debentures and during the six months ended June 30, 2000 we repaid at maturity $7.3 million in SBA debentures.

      Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments: Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments changed from a gain of $2,082,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to a gain of $218,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

      The primary reason for this change was the gain recognized on sale of assets (related to the sale of a loan pool) of $2,564,000 recognized during June 1999. There was no comparable transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1999, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses (excluding the gain relating to our securitization transaction discussed above) of $482,000 compared to net realized and

16


Table of Contents

unrealized gains of $218,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 we recognized $414,000 in valuation losses relating to our interest-only strip receivables. The primary reason for the valuation losses during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was increased prepayment of principal on the underlying pool of variable rate loans originated by First Western. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 we recognized $330,000 in valuation gains relating to our interest-only strip receivables. The primary reason for the net gains during the six months ended June 30, 2000 was the continued low rate of prepayment and loss activity related to the structured loan sale of fixed interest rate loans completed in June 1999.

      We also recognized $68,000 of net realized and unrealized loan valuation losses during the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $112,000 in net realized and unrealized loan valuation losses during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Losses were minimal during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. On an annualized basis, losses were 0.12% and 0.20% during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

      Net income decreased by $2,311,000 (46%), from $5,015,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2,704,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. As more fully detailed below, the most significant reason for the decrease in net income when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was the gain of approximately $2.6 million recognized from the securitization and sale of a loan portfolio during June 1999. There was no comparable transaction during the three months ended June 30,2000. The weighted average common shares outstanding were approximately 11.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      Interest income: Interest income decreased by $213,000 (5%), from $3,925,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3,712,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Interest income includes the interest earned on loans, the interest earned on short-term (“temporary”) investments, up-front fees collected including the accretion of up-front fees and the interest earned on the interest-only strip receivables. This overall decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in up-front fees recognized and a decline in the weighted average interest rate on loans outstanding. This decline was primarily a result of the loans sold in the June 1999 securitization having a higher interest rate than the loans originated with the proceeds from the securitization.

      Interest income on loans decreased by $113,000 (3%), from $3,545,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3,432,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest income was a result of the recognition of commitment fee income. During the second quarter of 1999 we recognized approximately $350,000 more in commitment fees than during the second quarter of 2000. The decrease in commitment fees is attributable to less loan originations during the second quarter of 2000 (a reduction of approximately $6 million when compared to the second quarter of 1999) and the recognition of previously deferred commitment fees on loans sold in the June 1999 securitization. The decrease in interest income on loans was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average outstanding principal amount of loans. The average retained loan portfolio increased by 6% to $116.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $110.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      Interest on other investments (which consists of interest on temporary investments and the interest-only strip receivables) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $280,000 which was $100,000 less than the $380,000 in interest income earned on other investments during the three months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to the interest income earned during the three months ended June 30, 1999 from the proceeds from the securitization and sale of loans in June 1999. The proceeds had been substantially reinvested in loans by the end of March 2000. Accordingly the interest earned on idle fund investments was reduced during the three months ended June 30, 2000.

      Premium income: Premium income increased by $23,000 (11%), from $213,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Our proceeds from the sale of the government guaranteed portion of loans (under the SBA 7(a) Program) was comparable during both the second quarter of 2000 and 1999 at approximately $4 million for each quarter. The increase relates to a slight increase in the premium which the secondary market was willing to pay for the loans which we sold.

      Other investment income, net: Other investment income, net, decreased by $49,000 (25%), from $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $147,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in prepayment fees received during the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      Other income, net: Other income, net, increased by $15,000 (3%) from $528,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $543,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Other income, which primarily consists of income relating to the advisory services provided to PMC Commercial, remained consistent when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2000 to the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries: Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased by $34,000 (5%), from $631,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $665,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000.

      The primary reason for the increase in income was the formation of the 1999 Limited Partnership during June 1999. We recognized $308,000 in net income related to the retained interests in the loans transferred to the 1998 Partnership and the 1999 Partnership during the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $217,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      The increase discussed above was partially offset by :

  •  The net income of PMC Advisers was $118,000 during the three months ended June  30, 2000 compared to $124,000 during the three months ended June  30, 1999. The decrease was related to fees generated from the lease supervision agreement entered into with PMC Commercial. Such fees declined since PMC Commercial sold a property during June 2000.
 
  •  PMC Funding had a loss of $14,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to a $5,000 loss during the three months ended June  30, 1999.
 
  •  Profits from the 1996 Partnership decreased. The 1996 Partnership had net income of $253,000 and $295,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the continued reduction in outstanding principal balance of loans owned by the 1996 Partnership.

      Operating expenses, not including interest expense: Operating expenses, not including interest, increased by $40,000 (3%) from $1,374,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,414,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Operating expenses are comprised of salaries and related benefits, general and administrative, profit sharing plan, rent, legal and accounting, SBA fees and directors and shareholders expense. The largest operating expense is salaries and related benefits which consist of salaries for the Company’s officers and employees who provide all of our management, advisory and portfolio functions, including marketing, servicing, accounting and portfolio analysis. We had an increase in salaries and related benefits of $72,000 (8%), from $936,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,008,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in salaries and related benefits was attributable to an increase in our marketing staff including the salaries attributable to our new loan production offices in Kansas City, Missouri and Arlington, Texas.

      Interest expense: Interest expense decreased by $79,000 (6%), from $1,344,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,265,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense results primarily from interest on (i) the Company’s $38.3 million of unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 7.4% and weighted average remaining maturity of 2.7 years as of June 30, 2000, (ii) $28.3 million of debentures due to the SBA, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.0% and weighted average remaining maturity of 4.1 years as of June 30, 2000, and (iii) balances outstanding on our revolving credit facility ($2.7 million at June 30, 2000). During July 1999, we issued an additional $3.3 million in senior debt, during September 1999 we repaid at maturity $3.5 million in SBA debentures and during the six months ended June 30, 2000 we repaid at maturity $7.3 million in SBA debentures.

      Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments: Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments changed from a gain of $2,240,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to a gain of $80,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000.

      The primary reason for this change was the gain recognized on sale of assets (related to the sale of a loan pool) of $2,564,000 recognized during June 1999. There was no comparable transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2000.

      During the three months ended June 30, 1999, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses (excluding the gain relating to our securitization transaction discussed above) of $324,000 compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $80,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. During the three months ended June 30, 1999 we recognized $254,000 in valuation losses relating to our interest-only strip receivables. The primary reason for the valuation losses in the second quarter of 1999 was increased prepayment of principal on the underlying pool of variable rate loans originated by First Western. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 we recognized $220,000 in valuation gains relating to our interest-only strip receivables. The primary reason for the net gains in the second quarter of 2000 was the continued low rate of prepayment and loss activity related to the structured loan sale of fixed interest rate loans completed in June 1999.

      We also recognized $70,000 of net realized and unrealized loan valuation losses during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $140,000 in net realized and unrealized loan valuation losses during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Losses were minimal during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. On an annualized basis, losses were 0.25% and 0.48% during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Cash Flow Analysis

      The primary source of our funds from operating activities is net income. The source of funds from net income is adjusted primarily by the gain recognized from the sale of assets, the equity in the income of unconsolidated subsidiaries, the change in other assets and liabilities, and First Western’s lending activities.

      We generated cash flow from operating activities of $1,590,000 and $5,884,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The reduction of $4,294,000 was primarily a result of the net change in operating assets and liabilities which provided a source of funds during the six months ended June 30, 1999 of $1,533,000 compared to a use of funds of $2,193,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increased use of funds was primarily the result of disbursing borrower advances during the first half of 2000.

      The net operating income and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments adjusted for the principal non-cash items (which are the change in unrealized depreciation on investments and loans written-off, depreciation and amortization and the gain on sale of assets) was $5,546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $6,217,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999, which represents a $671,000 (11%) decrease.

      We used cash flow of $9,520,000 and $16,548,000 from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This $7,028,000 decrease in cash flows used in investing activities relates primarily to the following:

  •  We had a net decrease in loans funded less principal collected of $3,151,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we funded $8,340,000 less than the six months ended June 30, 1999. See “Competition”;
 
  •  an increase in proceeds from partnership distributions of $1,149,000; and
 
  •  a decrease in funds used for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $1,834,000.

      We used cash flow of $10,710,000 from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to a source of cash flow provided from financing activities of $49,095,000 during the six months

ended June 30, 1999. The primary reason for the change in source of funds by $59,805,000 was the receipt of approximately $55 million in proceeds from the 1999 Partnership related to the sale of loans to the 1999 Partnership and the issuance by the 1999 Partnership of notes payable. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2000 we paid $7,330,000 of SBA debentures when they matured. No debentures matured or were paid off during the first six months of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 
Sources and uses of funds:

      As a regulated investment company, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, we are required to pay out substantially all of our net investment company taxable income to our common shareholders (see “Dividends” below). Consequently, we must procure funds from sources other than earnings in order to meet our capital requirements. In addition, as a BDC, we are generally required to maintain a ratio of at least 200% of total assets to total borrowings, which may restrict our ability to borrow in certain circumstances.

      Our primary use of funds is to originate loans. We also expend funds primarily for payment of:

  •  dividends to shareholders,
  •  principal payments on borrowings,
  •  interest and related financing costs, and
  •  salaries and other general and administrative expenses.

      Historically, our primary source of capital and liquidity has been:

  •  debentures issued through programs of the SBA,
  •  private and public issuances of common stock,
  •  the issuance of senior unsecured medium-term notes,
  •  the structured sale or securitization of a portion of our loan portfolio,  and
  •  the utilization of our short-term, unsecured revolving credit facility.

      Our primary source of capital has most recently been through the structured sale of loans. In order to generate growth in the size of our investment portfolio and meet our outstanding loan commitments, we need to obtain additional funds from:

  •  securitization and sale of a portion of the loan portfolio,
  •  borrowings under our credit facility,
  •  medium-term debt offerings, and/or
  •  equity offerings.

      We had $6.7 million in senior notes which matured and refinanced in July 2000 and $6.7 million in senior notes that mature in July 2001. The $6.7 million in senior notes due July 2000 were rolled over into new senior notes at which time we borrowed an additional $3.3 million. This $10 million in senior notes mature in July 2005 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.4% reset on a quarterly basis. We repaid $7.3 million in SBA debentures at their maturity during the six months ended June 30, 2000. We have $4.3 million in SBA debentures that mature during the twelve months ending June 30, 2001. We expect the remaining $4.3 million of SBA debentures will be rolled over at their maturity through the SBA’s outstanding commitment to provide debentures to our SBIC subsidiaries.

      In order to meet our commitments as discussed below, we have a $15 million revolving credit facility of which $12.3 million was available at June 30, 2000. Additional sources of capital include principal collections on our existing loan portfolio and proceeds from the sale of 7(a) loans in the secondary market. We have also developed a loan pool of approximately $50 million for a securitization transaction that we anticipate to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2000. To the extent commitments pertain to PMCIC or Western Financial, we should be able to issue SBA debentures to fund those commitments. There can be no assurances that we will be able to complete the above transactions at acceptable advance rates and/or interest rates. If not, we may have to refer commitments to PMC Commercial, issue debt at decreased loan-to-value ratios or increased interest rates and/or sell assets to meet our committed obligations when and if they come due. Management believes that these

financing sources will enable us to generate funds sufficient to meet both our short-term and long-term capital needs.
 
Commitments:

      Loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2000 to various prospective small business companies, including the unfunded portion of projects in the construction phase, amounted to approximately $40.3 million. Of these commitments, $13.2 million were for loans partially guaranteed by the SBA of which approximately $9.6 million would be sold (when fully funded) into the secondary market. Such commitments are made in the ordinary course of our 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.

 
Economy and Competition:

      Our primary competition comes from banks, financial institutions and other lending companies. Additionally, there are lending programs which have been established by national franchisers in the lodging industry. Some of these competitors have greater financial and larger managerial resources than us. Competition has increased as the financial strength of the banking and thrift industries improved. In our opinion, there continues to be competitive lending activity at advance rates and interest rates which are considerably more aggressive than those offered by us. In order to maintain a quality portfolio, we will continue to adhere to our historical underwriting criteria, and as a result, certain loan origination opportunities will not be funded by us. We believe we compete effectively with such entities on the basis of the lending programs offered, the interest rates, maturities and payment schedules, the quality of our service, our reputation as a lender, the timely credit analysis and decision-making processes, and the renewal options available to borrowers.

      As a result of uncertain economic trends and overbuilding in certain regional markets, we are experiencing a slowdown in the number of new hospitality properties that are being built or sold. The result has been an increase in competition at advance rates and with terms with which we have chosen not to compete. The result has been a decline in our new loan volume as we continue to maintain our credit standards. Barring economic changes, based on our presently outstanding commitments to fund loans, the volume of new loans funded is expected to increase primarily late in the fourth quarter of 2000.

 
Revolving credit facility:

      At June 30, 2000, we had $2.7 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and had availability of $12.3 million. Advances pursuant to the credit facility bear interest at our option at either the lender’s prime rate less 50 basis points or LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The credit facility requires we meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which provides that the ratio of net charge-offs to net loans receivable may not exceed 2%, and the ratio of assets to senior debt (as defined in the credit facility) will not fall below 135% with respect to PMC Capital and 150% including our consolidated subsidiaries. At June 30, 2000 we were in compliance with all covenants of this facility.

 
Investment Company Act requirements:

      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 1940 Act as modified by exemptive orders obtained by us from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dividends:

      PMC Capital has historically paid 100% of its investment company taxable income and not paid any return of capital. There are certain timing differences between book and tax income, most notably the recognition of commitment fees received and the recognition of income relating to the 1998 and 1999 structured sale of loans. As a result of these timing differences, the payment and amount of dividends does not necessarily coincide with our earnings. We anticipate (based on past operations and current business trends) that the dividend will be $0.25 per share, per quarter, through the end of the year 2000. Each of the quarterly dividends paid during 1999 were $0.25 per share with an additional special dividend of $0.015 per share declared in December 1999 and paid in January 2000. Our Board of Directors may amend this stabilized dividend policy as warranted by actual and/ or anticipated earnings.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates.

      The Company’s balance sheet consists of two items subject to interest rate risk. First, a majority of the Company’s investment portfolio consists of fixed interest rate loans. Given that the loans are priced at a fixed rate of interest, changes in interest rates should not have a direct impact on interest income. In addition, changes in market interest rates have not typically been a significant factor in the board of directors’ determination of fair value of these loans. However, a significant rise in interest rates (greater than 2% for long-term lending rates) may cause the Board of Directors to revalue the Company’s loan portfolio which may result in a material devaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio. The amount of such revaluation can not be quantified at this time since it involves “marking to market” the loan portfolio which is a procedure involving various factors depending upon then existing market conditions. Significant reductions in interest rates, however, can prompt increased prepayments of the Company’s loans, resulting in possible decreases in long-term revenues due to the re-lending of the prepayment proceeds at lower interest rates. Second, the Company’s liabilities consist of debt payable to the SBA and the Company’s senior unsecured debt. The SBA debentures and the senior unsecured debt are payable at fixed rates of interest, so changes in interest rates do not affect the Company’s interest expense.
