Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Resource Capital Group, Inc. have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect
the policies detailed below.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
Resource Capital Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries: 8050 Roswell Associates, LLC,
(Roswell); 419 Crossville Associates, LLC (Crossville); Colonial Park Commons
LLC, (Colonial); Heide Lot, LLC (Heide); Meggan Lot, LLC (Meggan);8046 Roswell
Road, LLC (8046); Woodstock Office One, LLC (Woodstock); 920 Holcomb Bridge, LLC
(Holcomb) and Hunter Management Company. Where subsidiaries were acquired or
disposed of during the period the operating results are included from the date
of acquisition or the date of sale. All intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3 Acquisition of properties

In February 1998 920 Holcomb Bridge, LLC ( Holcomb) was formed and capitalized
with a $280,000 cash contribution, which was funded by



                                        6
<PAGE>   7

the Company for a one hundred percent interest. Holcomb acquired a 14,500 square
foot office building located in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia for $1,250,000
which was partially funded with a $970,000 mortgage payable. The mortgage bears
interest at 8.5% per annum and matures in March, 2018. The terms of the mortgage
require monthly payments of $8,418 be applied first to interest with the balance
to reduction of principal.

In May, 1998 the Company submitted an earnest money deposit in the amount of
$25,000 for the purchase of the Montclair I Building for $1,175,000. This
property is located in Birmingham, Alabama and consists of a 22,248 square foot
office building.

Note 4 Earnings per share

Net earnings per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock
warrants is not significant and is therefore excluded from the calculation.

Note 5 Investments in and receivables from partnerships

In April 1998 MLP sold the Rolling Hills Apartments for a sales price of
$7,544,000. The Company received approximately $2,300,000 in proceeds from the
sale including the principal balance of the $1,657,947 note receivable from MLP
and the repayment of a portion of the advances to MLP.

The Company owns a 2.55% general partner interest and a 43.10% limited partner
interest in AGS Meadow Oaks Associates (Meadow) which owns a 345 unit apartment
property located in Kansas City, Kansas.

Management has determined that its interest in Meadow is of little or no value.
The Company is currently negotiating with the mortgage holder to acquire their
mortgage at a discount. If the Company is unsuccessful in its attempt to acquire
the note, management may decide to dispose of its interest in Meadow.

At December 31, 1997 the Company's tax basis in Meadow is a negative $1,168,000.
Therefore, if the Company disposes of its interest in Meadow it anticipates that
it will result in a substantial tax liability to the Company.

If management decides to dispose of this holding, it intends to establish a
reserve account for this liability. The Company's current cash balances are more
than sufficient to create this reserve.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity is based primarily on its cash reserves, real estate
operating and investment income, its ability to obtain mortgage financing, and
the interest income and loan repayments received on its notes receivable from
AGS Partners MLP, L.P. (MLP). These funds are used to pay the Company's normal
operating expenses and fund new acquisitions.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had cash reserves of $711,153. The Company's
cash reserves and current level of income are sufficient to meet the Company's
current level of operating expenses on an ongoing basis.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 the Company received $74,381 in
interest income from MLP. During the same period advances to MLP increased by
$63,447 to help it finance major capital improvements to its Rolling Hills
property. MLP plans to continue to make major capital improvements to its
remaining property, Aspen Walk Apartments, in an attempt to maximize the resale
value of the property.

The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in and receivable from MLP
is dependent on the future operations and/or sale of the MLP properties. In
April 1998 MLP sold Rolling Hills Apartments for a sales price of $7,544,000.
The Company received approximately $2,300,000 in proceeds from the sale, with
the repayment of the $1,657,947 note receivable from MLP and the repayment of a
portion of the advances receivable from MLP.

The operating properties of the MLP and the various other real estate
partnerships in which the Company is the general partner are financed with
non-recourse debt. The Company is not liable for the principal or interest on
the mortgages and the other assets of the partnerships are more than adequate to
satisfy other recourse liabilities. Therefore, the Company's liquidity should
not be adversely affected by these general partner obligations.

The Company's business plan includes accelerating its transition from
investments in mortgage receivables and apartment buildings into the ownership
and operation of small properties, primarily suburban office buildings
concentrated in Atlanta, Georgia and other fast growing metropolitan areas in
the southeast.

In this regard, the Company has developed a concept it calls "Smart Space". The
"Smart Space" concept includes the subdividing, upgrading, and prefinishing
office space into 500 to 2500 square foot ready to occupy suites. The upgraded
suites generally command higher rental rates because they generally include the
addition of



                                        8
<PAGE>   9

private interior bathrooms, mini kitchens, sheetrock ceilings, recessed
lighting, crown moldings, chair rails, upgraded carpets and finishes in
traditional colors. The concept also includes individually metering each suite
for utilities with the tenants generally paying for their own utilities and
janitorial services.

The Company acquires buildings for the purpose of converting them to "Smart
Space" suites. Early results indicate that the Company can operate "Smart Space"
buildings more profitably than conventional office buildings. Conceptually, once
space has been converted to a "Smart Space" unit the Company will not be
required to move walls or reconfigure the space again cutting down on turnover
time and saving on build-out expenses which historically have been the largest
costs of operating office buildings. In addition, leases are generally written
with the tenants paying for their own utilities and janitorial expenses further
reducing the costs to operate the properties. All buildings are managed, leased
and maintained from a central off site location.

As a result of the Company's recent success in this niche market, mortgage
financing has been offered to the Company from various sources including a small
insurance company and local and regional banks. With mortgage financing
available the Company intends to expand into other neighboring southeast
markets.

The Company expects to be able to fund the expansion of its holdings in this
direction by a combination of mortgage financing and internal funding. It
believes it will be able to expand without seeking financing other than
conventional mortgages for at least the next two years. The proceeds from the
repayment of the Company's investments in mortgage receivables from MLP and the
disposition of its general and limited partner interests in apartment buildings
is expected to provide the balance of the funds.

In February 1998, 920 Holcomb Bridge, LLC (Holcomb) was formed and capitalized
with a $280,000 cash contribution, which was funded by the Company for a one
hundred percent interest. Holcomb acquired a 14,500 square foot office building
located in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia for $1,250,000 which was partially
funded with a $970,000 mortgage payable. The mortgage bears interest at 8.5% per
annum and matures in March, 2018. The terms of the mortgage require monthly
payments of $8,418 be applied first to interest with the balance to reduction of
principal.

Based on 1998 and future budgets and recent property valuations it appears the
Company's real estate investments should produce future operating cash flows and
future resale values for the Company.

In May 1998, the Company submitted an earnest money deposit in the amount of
$25,000 for the purchase of a 22,248 square foot office building located in
Birmingham, Alabama for $1,175,000 in an all



                                        9
<PAGE>   10

cash transaction. Proceeds from the sale of Rolling Hills Apartments by MLP will
be utilized to close this transaction.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 the Company utilized $21,327 for
operations and received $1,194,219 from the net proceeds of mortgages payable
and utilized $1,135,464 principally for the acquisition of Holcomb for a net
increase in cash of $37,428 for the period.

Results of Operations

After expenses related to the transition mentioned above, for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 the Company realized a net loss of $7,118 compared to a net
loss of $7,226 for the same period in 1997.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $336,178 versus
$545,940 in 1997. Rental income decreased primarily due to the Carriage House
and Compass Pointe sale in May 1997. The Company recognized a gain of $18,521
from the sale of marketable equity securities for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Management fee income increased $24,168 due to the September 1997
acquisition of Hunter Management Company.

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $346,963 compared
to $552,610 for the same period in 1997. This decrease in expenses was the
result, in part, of the May 1997 disposition of Carriage House and Compass
Pointe Apartments. Rental operating expenses decreased by $165,640 as a result
of this disposition.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$163,636 increased $32,903 from the same period last year. The increase is
attributable to the September 1997 acquisition of Hunter, increased Keyman and
directors insurance and increased legal, professional and other expenses
relating to the Company's disposition of its apartments and other investments.

Depreciation and amortization of $57,091 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 decreased $14,873 from the same period in 1997 primarily due to the
dispositions mentioned above.

Interest expense decreased $58,037 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1997 due to the mortgages repaid on the
May 1997 disposition of Carriage House and Compass Pointe Apartments.
