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

    The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company should be read in conjunction with the preceding "Selected
Historical Financial and Other Data," the Company's Financial Statements and
Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this document.
The dollar amounts below have been rounded in order to simplify their
presentation.  However, the ratios and percentages are calculated using the
detailed financial information contained in the Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto and the financial data included elsewhere in this document.
References to years are for the respective fiscal years ended June 30, unless
otherwise noted.

OVERVIEW

    The Company's principal investment objectives are to achieve a high level
of income from both interest on loans and debt securities, generally referred to
as "debt investments" and long-term appreciation in the value of equity
interests in its portfolio companies.  The Company's debt investments are
typically secured, have relatively high fixed interest rates, and are
accompanied by warrants to purchase equity securities of the borrower.  In
addition to interest on debt investments, the Company also typically collects an
origination fee on each debt investment.

    The Company's financial performance is composed of four primary elements.
The first is "income before gains (losses) in small business concerns," which is
the difference between the Company's income from interest and fees and its total
operating expenses, including interest expense.  Interest income is earned on
debt investments and the temporary investment of funds available for investment
in portfolio companies, which are presented in the Company's balance sheets as
cash equivalents.  The second element is "realized gains (losses) on
investments," which is the difference between the proceeds received from the
disposition of portfolio assets in the aggregate during the period and the cost
of such portfolio assets.  The third element is the "change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments," which is the net change in the
estimated fair values of the Company's portfolio assets at the end of the period
as compared with their estimated fair values at the beginning of the period or
the cost of the portfolio asset, if purchased during the period.  Generally,
"realized gains (losses) on investments" and "changes in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of investments" are inversely related.  When an appreciated asset
is sold to realize a gain, a decrease in unrealized appreciation occurs when the
gain associated with the asset is transferred from the "unrealized" category to
the "realized" category.  Conversely, when a loss is realized by the sale or
other disposition of a depreciated portfolio asset, the reclassification of the
loss from "unrealized" to "realized" causes an increase in unrealized
appreciation and an increase in realized loss.  The fourth element is "tax
expense".  The Company is currently taxed as a "C" corporation.  Following the
filing of this Form 10, the Company intends to qualify for taxation under


                                          4

Subchapter M.  For a discussion of Subchapter M, see "Business--Taxation as a
Regulated Investment Company" in Item 1 of this Form 10.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

    INTEREST INCOME.  During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company
earned interest on debt investments of $1.7 million, an 85% increase over the
$941,000 earned in the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996.  This increase in
interest income resulted primarily from increases in the dollar amount of debt
investments outstanding during the applicable periods, as there were no material
changes in the average interest rate earned.  The Company's debt investments (at
cost) increased to $19.6 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of 35% from
$14.5 million at March 31, 1996.  During the nine months ended March 31, 1997,
the Company earned interest on funds available for investment of $126,000, a 40%
decrease from the $210,000 earned during the first nine months of 1996.  This
decrease was the result of portfolio investing and the resultant lower balances
of funds available for investment during the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  The Company's interest expense, which related to the SBA
financing, was $345,000 for the first nine months of 1997, a 108% increase over
the $166,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  The change in interest expense
is directly related to the level of borrowings from the SBA, which were $9.3
million as of March 31, 1997, and $4.2 million as of March 31, 1996.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
totaled $667,000 for the first nine months of 1997, a 44% increase over the
$464,000 during the comparable period in 1996.  The increase was due primarily
to increases in staffing and employee compensation.  General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total assets were 2.5% and 2.1% for these respective
periods.

    OTHER EXPENSES.  These expenses include legal, audit and trade association
expense.

    REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) ON INVESTMENTS.  The Company's net realized loss on
investments was ($95,000) for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to
a net realized gain of $462,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  The
losses in 1997 resulted from the realization of previously recorded unrealized
depreciation on investments in two portfolio companies.  The gain in 1996
resulted primarily from the sale of the Company's equity position in one
portfolio company.

    INCOME TAXES.  The Company incurred federal and state income tax expense of
$893,000 in the first nine months of 1997 (an effective rate of 40%), and
$220,000 in the first nine months of 1996 (an effective rate of 17%).  The
effective rate for 1996 resulted from reversal of valuation allowances relating
to deferred tax assets, which had been established in prior periods.  As of June
30, 1996, all such valuation allowances had been eliminated.

    CHANGE IN UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS.  For the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded net unrealized
appreciation of investments of $1.5 million and $336,000, respectively.  These
changes are the result of the Company's revaluation of its portfolio in
accordance with its valuation policy to reflect the change in estimated fair
value of each of its portfolio assets.  The unrealized gains in the 1996 and
1997 periods resulted from valuation changes in several investments.  The
unrealized gains in 1996 were partially offset by the realized gain discussed
above.  A description of all of the Company's debt investments is presented
under the caption "Business--The Company's Investment Portfolio" in Item 1 of
this Form 10.

FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, 1995, AND 1994

    INTEREST INCOME.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company
earned interest on debt investments of $1.3 million , a 6.6% increase over the
$1.2 million earned in 1995, which was a 15.7% increase over the $1.1 million
earned during 1994.  These increases in interest income resulted primarily from
increases in the dollar amount of debt investments outstanding during the
applicable periods, as there were no material changes in the average interest
rate earned on outstanding debt investments.  The Company's debt investments (at
cost) increased to $16.1 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of 47% from $10.9
million at June 30, 1995, which in turn was a 5.2% decrease from $11.5 million
at June 30, 1994.  During 1996, the Company earned interest on funds available
for investment of $266,000, a 237% increase over the $79,000 earned in 1995,
which was a 58% increase over the $50,000 earned in 1994.  The increased income
in 1995 and 1996 was the result of the sale of an investment during the fourth
quarter of 1995, which resulted in unusually high fund balances during a portion
of 1995 and most of 1996.  A substantial portion of these funds were committed
for investments that had not yet closed.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  The Company's interest expense, which related to the SBA
financing, increased to $250,600 in 1996, a 3.2% increase over the $243,000 in
1995, which in turn was a 12.7% decrease from the $278,000 of interest expense
in 1994.  These changes in interest expense are directly related to the level of
borrowings from the SBA, which were $4.2 million, $2.6 million and $3.1 million
on June 30, 1996, 1995, 1994, respectively.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  The Company's general and
administrative expenses totaled $630,000 in 1996, a 20.3% increase over the
$524,000 in 1995, which in turn was a .04% decrease from the $526,000 in 1994.
The increase from 1996 over 1995 was due primarily to increases in employee
compensation.  Although the dollar amount of these expenses increased over the
three-year period, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total
assets remained fairly constant at 2.7%, 2.5% and 2.8% for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

    OTHER EXPENSES.  These expenses include legal, audit and trade association
expense.  Other expenses in 1994 were unusually high because of bad debt expense
and legal fees.


                                          6

<PAGE>

    REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) ON INVESTMENTS.  The Company's net realized gains
on investments in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $508,000, $3.7 million and $1.3
million, respectively, as a result of sales of the Company's equity position in
one portfolio company in each of those years.

    INCOME TAXES.  The Company incurred federal and state income tax expense of
$372,000 in 1996 (an effective rate of 14%), $532,000 in 1995 (an effective rate
of 18%), and did not incur income tax expense in 1994.  During 1994, the Company
incurred pretax losses, but did not record the benefit of the associated net
operating loss carry forwards in the statement of operations because realization
of that benefit was uncertain.  The effective tax rates for 1996 and 1995 are
substantially lower than the statutory rate as a result of the reversal of
valuation allowances which had been established against deferred tax benefits
recorded in prior periods.

    CHANGE IN UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS.  For the
year ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation of
investments of $1.4 million, and net unrealized depreciation of ($1.2 million)
and ($2.3 million) for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The unrealized gains in 1996 resulted from changes in the valuations of several
portfolio investments in accordance with the Company's valuation policies.  The
unrealized losses in 1995 and 1994 reflected the realized gain from the sale by
the Company of its equity position in one portfolio company in each of those
years and the reduction in market value of two publicly traded equity securities
in the Company's portfolio.  A description of all of the Company's investments
is included under the caption "Business--The Company's Investment Portfolio" in
Item 1 of this Form 10.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At March 31, 1997, the Company had $3.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents.  The Company's principal sources of capital to fund its portfolio
growth have been borrowings through the SBA sponsored SBIC debenture program,
principal payments on debt investments, and sales of the Company's equity
positions in certain portfolio companies.  Principal payments made to the
Company on its debt investments were $767,000 and $946,000 for the first nine
months of 1997 and 1996, respectively, $1.2 million in 1996, $2.2 million in
1995, and $260,000 in 1994.  For fiscal 1998, the scheduled principal payments
owed to the Company on existing debt investments are $606,000.  Cash proceeds
from the sale of equity positions were $120,000 and $3.9 million for the first
nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively, $3.9 million for 1996, $3.8 million
for 1995 and $2.3 million for 1994.

     The Company's operations have been limited by the availability of capital,
rather than investment opportunities.  As a result, the Company's ability to
make new portfolio investments has been limited to the redeployment of proceeds
from the realization of existing investments.

     The Company borrowed $5.5 million from the SBA in December 1996 and $2.0
million in March 1996.  Each of these borrowings was evidenced by a debenture.
The proceeds were, in part, used to repurchase at par $3.0 million of the
Company's preferred stock which had previously been


                                          7

<PAGE>

issued to the SBA and to pay accrued dividends thereon.  This brought total
indebtedness on SBA borrowings to $9.3 million at March 31, 1997.  The two
debentures are non-amortizing, mature in 2006 and can be prepaid without penalty
after five years.  The interest rate on these debentures is 7.08%, payable
quarterly.  The remaining portion of the Company's SBA borrowings is evidenced
by a seven year, 8.375% interest, fully amortizing note that matures on April 1,
2000, and requires quarterly principal and interest payments of $169,872.  The
balance on the note was $1.8 million as of March 31, 1997.  The Company has
applied to receive an additional $3.0 million of SBA debt financing as part of
the SBA's third quarter debenture funding.  There is no assurance that any
funding will be obtained.  Based on the Company's current leverageable capital
(as defined by the SBA), it is eligible to borrow up to a total of $14.5 million
from the SBA.

     The $3.0 million of debt investments made by the Company for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 was a 31% decrease over the comparable period in
1996.  The $6.5 million of debt investments made by the Company during 1996 was
a 600% increase over the $934,000 of investments made in 1995, which was a 27%
decrease from the $1.3 million invested in 1994.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments to provide
financing totaling $1.4 million.  Although the Company continues to review new
investment requests, no additional commitments are anticipated until additional
capital is obtained or one or more existing investments are sold.

     The Company does not currently have a line of credit or revolving credit
facility.

     The Company expects to raise $20 million of additional capital through a
private placement of its common stock during the fiscal quarter ending September
30, 1997.  If completed, the proceeds of the offering will be used to pay a
dividend, which is currently estimated to be approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million,
to current stockholders in order to meet one of the requirements for Subchapter
M tax treatment.  The remaining net proceeds will be used for making investments
in current and new portfolio companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Capital Dimensions, Inc.
Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Capital Dimensions, Inc. as of
June 30, 1996 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1996.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  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
management, 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 1996 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Dimensions, Inc. as
of June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As explained in Note 2, the financial statements include investments securities
valued by the Board of Directors totaling $18,262,890 at June 30, 1996, none of
which have been valued based on public market quotations.  We have reviewed the
procedures used by the Board of Directors in arriving at its estimate of value
of such investments and have inspected underlying documentation and, in the
circumstances, we believe the procedures are reasonable and the documentation
appropriate.  However, because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of
investment securities, those estimated values may differ significantly from the
values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments
existed, and the differences could be material.

CAPITAL DIMENSIONS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994, 1995, AND 1996 AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Capital Dimensions, Inc. (the Company) is a Specialized Small Business
    Investment Company (SSBIC) licensed under the Small Business Investment Act
    of 1958.  The Company provides equity capital, long-term loans, and
    management assistance to small business concerns which are at least 50%
    owned by persons who are socially or economically disadvantaged as defined
    under SBA guidelines.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies applied in
    the preparation of the financial statements.

    PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Prior to March 31, 1997, Capital
    Dimensions Venture Fund, Inc. (CDVFI) was a wholly owned subsidiary of
    Capital Dimensions, Inc. (CDI).  Effective March 31, 1997, CDI and CDVFI
    were merged with CDVFI as the surviving entity.  Under the plan of merger;
    (i) all of the previously outstanding shares of CDVFI were canceled, (ii)
    each one share of previously outstanding CDI common stock was converted
    into one share of the Company's common stock, and (iii)  each one share of
    previously outstanding CDI Series A preferred stock was converted into one
    share of the Company's common stock.  Subsequent to the merger, CDVFI
    changed its name to Capital Dimensions, Inc.  Also, effective with the
    merger, all cumulated but unpaid and undeclared dividends related to the
    Series A preferred stock lapsed.

    The merger of CDI and CDVFI has been reflected in these financial
    statements as a reorganization of entities under common control.
    Accordingly, these financial statements have been restated to reflect the
    merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
    presented.

    RECAPITIZATION - Effective May 31, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
    amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a 3-for-1 stock split,
    issued in the form of a 200% stock dividend effective May 31, 1997 to
    stockholders of record on May 31, 1997; to increase the authorized number
    of common stock to 9,000,000; and to authorize the issuance of up to
    1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the terms of which may be fixed by the
    Company's Board of Directors without further shareholder approval.  All
    share and per share amounts included in these financial statements and
    related notes have been restated to reflect this stock split.

    ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
    generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
    liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
    dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
    expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from
    those estimates and assumptions.

    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
    COMPENSATION.  The Company has elected to continue following the guidance
    of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED
    TO EMPLOYEES, for measurement and recognition of stock-based transactions
    with


                                         F-9

    employees.  The Company will adopt the disclosure provisions, which are not
    expected to be material, of SFAS No. 123 in fiscal year 1997.

    In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE.  SFAS
    No. 128 supersedes APB No. 15 and replaces the presentation of primary
    earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share.  The
    Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 128 in fiscal year 1998.  On
    a pro forma basis, had the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128,
    basic earnings per share of $(.50), $1.29, $1.20, $.54, and $.78 for the
    periods ended June 30, 1994, 1995, 1996, and March 31, 1996 and 1997,
    respectively, would have been presented in the statement of operations.  In
    addition, diluted earnings per share amounts substantially equivalent to
    the earnings per share amounts currently presented in the statement of
    operations would have been shown.

    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Earnings per common share are computed on
    earnings reduced by dividend requirements on preferred stock and based upon
    the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares,
    consisting of the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during each
    period.  Earnings per common share assuming full dilution are substantially
    the same.

    VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - The Company records its investments at estimated
    fair value as determined by the Board of Directors.  Realization of the
    carrying value of investments is subject to future developments relating to
    investee companies.

    Among the factors considered by the Board of Directors in determining the
    fair value of investments are the cost of the investment to the Company,
    developments since the acquisition of the investment, the financial
    condition and operating results of the investee, the long-term potential of
    the business of the investee, the value of the underlying collateral, and
    other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of investments.  There
    is no public market for the majority of the investments.  The Board, in
    making its evaluation, has relied on financial data of investees and, in
    many instances, on estimates by the management of the Company and of the
    investee companies as to the potential effect of future developments.  Due
    to the nature of the Company's investments, the valuations could differ
    materially in the near term.

    CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
    with a maturity at time of purchase of three months or less to be cash
    equivalents.

    EQUIPMENT - Equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation on equipment is
    calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
    the assets, generally five years.

    INTEREST INCOME - Interest earned on investments in small business concerns
    is recorded on the accrual basis.  Loans and debt securities are reviewed
    regularly by management and placed on nonaccrual status when the collection
    of interest or principal is uncertain.  Thereafter, no interest is
    recognized as income unless received in cash or until such time the
    borrower demonstrates the ability to pay interest and principal.

    LOAN ORIGINATION FEES - Loan origination fees, net of direct costs, are
    deferred and amortized to interest income, using the effective interest
    method, over the term of the original promissory notes.

    REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) ON INVESTMENTS - Cost of investments sold is
    reported on the basis of identified cost.  Amounts reported as realized
    gains (losses) are measured by the difference between the proceeds of sale,
    if any, and the cost basis of the investment.


                                         F-10
    

<PAGE>

   
    Investments are also recorded as realized losses when, in the opinion of
    the Board of Directors, there is little likelihood of recovery of the
    investment cost.  The determination is based on past performance, business
    plans, and representations by management of the investee company.

    INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION - The Company's portfolio is concentrated in the
    radio broadcast industry, where the Company currently holds investments in
    eight businesses that operate in California, the District of Columbia,
    Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, and North Carolina.  These investments
    comprise 70.1% of the estimated fair market value of the Company's
    portfolio at March 31, 1997.  The radio stations operated by these
    businesses include both large and small listener markets, both AM and FM
    stations, and a variety of programming formats.  The Company has also
    invested in the rural telephone industry and the airport food and beverage
    service industry which comprise 14.9% and 8.8%, respectively, of the
    Company's investment portfolio as of March 31, 1997.

    INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The information set forth in the financial
    statements as of March 31, 1997 and for the nine months ended March 31,
    1996 and 1997 is unaudited.  The information reflects all adjustments,
    consisting only of normal recurring entries, that in the opinion of
    management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
    of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods indicated.
    Results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative
    of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to
    conform to the 1996 presentation.  Such reclassifications had no impact on
    net income and stockholders' equity as previously reported.

2.  INVESTMENTS IN SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS

    Investments were valued at estimated fair value determined by the Board of
    Directors at $14,528,143 at June 30, 1995, of which $2,513,926 was valued
    based on public quotations, and $18,262,890 and $23,023,135 at June 30,
    1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively, none of which was valued based on
    public quotations.

    The Company acquired the investments by direct purchases from the investees
    and the Board of Directors valued the securities on the premise that in
    most instances they may not be publicly re-sold without registration under
    the Securities Act of 1933.  The prices of securities purchased were
    determined by direct negotiations between the Company and the investees.

    Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is as follows:

                                                 June 30,            March 31,

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

    Loans and debt securities with recorded fair values of $2,300,278,
    $3,496,747, and $3,489,254 were in nonaccrual of interest status at June
    30, 1995 and 1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively.

5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Company is subject to a Repurchase Agreement dated March 31, 1993 with
    the SBA (the Repurchase Agreement) under which the Company redeemed at a
    substantial discount all of the Company's then outstanding 3% preferred
    stock, having a par value of $10,000,000, which had been issued to the SBA
    under a funding program that was subsequently discontinued.  The redemption
    price was paid by the Company issuing to the SBA a seven-year amortizing
    note for $3,571,578.  As a condition to the redemption of the 3% preferred
    stock, the Company granted the SBA a liquidating interest in a newly
    created restricted capital surplus account equal to the amount of the
    repurchase discount of $6,428,422.  This liquidating interest is being
    amortized over an 84-month period on a straight-line basis, and as of
    June 30, 1995 and 1996 and March 31, 1997 had been reduced to $4,362,150,
    $3,443,802, and $2,755,041, respectively.  Should the Company default under
    the Repurchase Agreement at any time, the liquidating interest will become
    fixed at the level immediately preceding the event of default and will not
    decline further until the default is cured or waived.  The liquidating
    interest will expire on the later of (i) 60 months from the date of the
    Repurchase Agreement (i.e. March 31, 1998); (ii) the date the repurchase
    note is paid in full; or (iii) if an event of default has occurred and the
    default has been cured or waived, the later date on which the liquidating
    interest is fully amortized.

    Should the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidate prior to the
    expiration of the liquidating interest, any assets which are available,
    after the payment of all debts of the Company, shall be distributed first
    to the SBA until the amount of the then remaining liquidating interest has
    been distributed to the SBA.  That payment, if any, would be prior in right
    to any payments of the Company's stockholders.  As the liquidating interest
    declines, the restricted capital account is reduced and additional paid-in
    capital is increased.


                                         F-13

    The Company transferred $300,000 and $1,400,000 of retained earnings to
    paid-in capital in 1995 and 1996, respectively, to increase its "private
    capital" for SBA regulatory purposes.  "Private capital" for SBA regulatory
    purposes was $10,971,311, $12,064,163, $12,008,026 at June 30, 1995, 1996,
    and March 31, 1997, respectively.

6.  RETIREMENT PLANS

    Effective December 1, 1988, the Company adopted a retirement plan 
    covering substantially all of its employees.  Contributions to the plan 
    are discretionary and are determined by the Board of Directors.  The 
    Company's contributions to this plan for the years ended June 30, 1994, 
    1995 and 1996 and for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 were 
    $25,150, $49,637, $40,320, $23,760, and $29,813, respectively.

    During 1996, the Company adopted an additional retirement plan covering
    substantially all of its employees.  Contributions to the plan are
    mandatory at 10% of compensation.  The Company's contribution to this plan
    for the year ended June 30, 1996 was $36,880 and for the nine months ended
    March 31, 1996 and 1997 was $21,240 and $27,375, respectively.

    On April 1, 1997, in conjunction with the asset management agreement
    discussed in Note 11, these retirement plans were assumed by the management
    company.

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    The Company leases office facilities in Minnesota under a noncancelable
    operating lease which expires on June 30, 1998.  Under this operating
    lease, future minimum lease payments of $31,740, $31,740 and $63,480 are
    payable in the years ending June 30, 1997 and 1998 and in aggregate,
    respectively.

    Total rent expense was $32,872, $32,872, $33,914, $26,606, and $26,281 for
    each of the years ended June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 and the nine months
    ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

    The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the
    normal course of business.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the
    resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
    financial position or operations of the Company.

8.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

    The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan on February 15, 1990.  The Company
    has reserved 480,000 shares of common stock for options which may be
    granted under the stock option plan. Under the Plan, option exercise prices
    are 100% of the market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of
    the common stock at the time of the grant.  Options become exercisable over
    a five-year period from the date of grant and expire five years from the
    date of the grant.

    301,038, 262,638, and 216,000 shares, respectively, were exercisable.
    Outstanding options expire November 2001 (179,838 shares), January 2004
    (72,000 shares), and July 2004 (45,000 shares).  The 27,000 shares which
    are not exercisable as of March 31, 1997 vest at 3,000 shares each year
    until July 1999.

9.  CREDIT RISK

    The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
    exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any
    losses in such accounts.  The Company does not believe it is exposed to any
    significant risk on cash.  In addition, the Company's idle funds are
    invested in repurchase agreements which are backed by U.S. government
    securities.

10. LETTERS OF CREDIT

    The Company is the guarantor of two letters of credit aggregating $410,000
    issued by a bank, on the behalf of two of the Company's portfolio
    companies.  Under the letters of credit the third-party beneficiaries may
    draw on the letters of credit upon the occurrence of specified events.
    Amounts drawn upon, if any, under these letters of credit will be added to
    the loan amounts due from the portfolio companies to secure these letters
    of credit.  The Company has contractually restricted $410,000 of its cash.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    As discussed in Note 1, effective March 31, 1997, CDI and CDVFI were merged
    to form the Company.  In connection with that merger, a separate company
    (the Management Company), owned by the officers of the Company, was formed
    to manage the Company's assets.  The Company has entered into a one-year
    agreement with the Management Company whereby the


                                         F-15
    

<PAGE>

   
    Management Company will manage the Company's portfolio in exchange for
    a monthly fee equal to .25% of the average balance of assets under
    management during the month.  In addition, the Company transferred certain
    assets to the Management Company in exchange for a promissory note in the
    amount of $143,856, representing the book value of the assets on the date
    of transfer.  The promissory note will be retired in accordance with the
    useful life of these assets over a maximum of four years.

    In connection with the merger, the Company adopted the Capital Dimensions
    Venture Fund, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan (the Plan), all stock options
    outstanding at the time of the merger were exchanged for identical shares
    under the new plan, and all previous stock option plans were terminated.
    The Company has reserved 450,000 shares of common stock for options which
    may be granted under the Plan.  Under the Plan, option exercise prices are
    100% of market value of the common stock at the time of the grant.  Options
    become exercisable as determined by a committee of not less than two
    nonemployee directors and expire no more than ten years from the date of
    the grant.

12. POTENTIAL DIVIDEND

    The Company intends to qualify for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the
    Internal Revenue Code.  Eligibility for Subchapter M treatment requires
    that the Company pay out, as a dividend, an amount at least equal to its
    cumulative earnings and profits from all prior periods.  The Company's
    Board of Directors expects to declare a dividend, to stockholders of record
    on June 30, 1997, in an amount sufficient to meet this requirement.  The
    declaration of this dividend will be made contingent upon the Company
    obtaining net proceeds of at least $15 million from the sale of newly
    issued shares of common stock.
