To the Board of Directors
Business Development Corporation
   of South Carolina
Columbia, S.C.  29221


We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Business
Development Corporation of South Carolina as of September 30, 1995,
and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash
flows for the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, in
accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  All information included in these financial statements
is the representation of the management of Business Development
Corporation of South Carolina.

A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as
a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying September 31, 1995 and 1994
financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994, were
audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our
report dated January 19, 1995, but we have not performed any
auditing procedures since that date.

           BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA

                              COLUMBIA, S.C.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            SEPTEMBER 30, 1995






Note 1.     Organization
          The corporation was established by the General Assembly of the
       State of South Carolina to promote business development and to assist
       new business and industry in the state by making loans or assisting in
       other business transactions.

          Any financial institution can be a member in the corporation and is
       obligated as a member to make loan commitments to the corporation.
       Loans are made by the members based on their commitment in proportion
       to their capital as it relates to the capital of all members combined
       who have committed.

Note 2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Loans Receivable
          The corporation provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which,
       in the opinion of management, is adequate to cover possible loan
       losses.  Loans may be partially sold to investors with the corporation
       retaining the obligation to service the entire debt.  The balance of
       loans receivable of $7,364,988 at September 30, 1995 and $7,017,269 at
       December 31, 1994 is the portion of the obligations retained by
       Business Development Corporation of South Carolina.

       Furniture and Fixtures
          The corporation carries fixed assets at cost.  The straight-line
       depreciation method is used with useful lives varying from five to ten
       years.

Note 3.     Income Taxes
          The corporation is exempt from South Carolina income taxes.  For
       federal income tax purposes temporary differences in the basis of
       assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax
       reporting occur.  One difference is the use of varying methods and
       periods to calculate depreciation.  Also the provision for doubtful
       accounts is used for financial statement purposes, whereas the direct
       charge-off method is used for writing off accounts as they become
       worthless for income tax purposes.

          The net deferred tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets
       include the following at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:


                Excess of Tax over Financial
               Accounting Depreciation                  $   (5,299)
                Excess of Allowance for Doubtful
               Accounts for Financial
                  Accounting over Tax                       35,255

                                                            29,956

       at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, was $2,763,236 and
       $3,157,820.

       interest at the rate of price plus 1%.  Book value of the equipment at
       September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was $4,163 and $6,245,
       respectively.

          Dividends payable consist of dividends declared in prior years which
       have not been presented for payment.  No dividends have been declared
       in the periods included in these statements.

Note 6.     Capital Surplus
          The legislation which established Business Development Corporation of
       South Carolina requires that at least ten percent of annual earnings be
       transferred to capital surplus annually up to a maximum of one-half of
       the paid-in capital.

          In 1987 the executive committee adopted a policy of maintaining
       surplus equal to the sum of ten percent of cumulative net earnings
       plus 100% of all known potential loan losses.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995






Note 12.    Financial Instruments
     (A) Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
     The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and
     cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates
     fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these
     financial instruments.  The carrying amount for loans receivable and long-
     term debt approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are
     variable rate notes that fluctuate with the prime rate.

    (B) Concentration of Credit Risk
    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
    concentrations of credit risk consist of loans receivable.  All loans are
    made to borrowers located in the State of South Carolina.  Loans are
    generally secured by assets, personal guarantees and are generally
    partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
