ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.


         This section contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "1995
Act").  Such statements are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the
safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act.  In connection with these safe-harbor
provisions, the Company has identified in its Annual Report to Shareholders for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, important factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement made by or on behalf of the Company.  The Company further cautions
that such factors are not exhaustive or exclusive.  The Company does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement which may be made from time
to time by or on behalf of the Company.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Three Months Ended December 31, 1996, Compared to Three Months  Ended
December 31, 1995.

         Total investment income includes the Company's income from interest,
dividends and fees.  Net investment income (expense) represents total income
minus operating and interest expenses, net of applicable income taxes.  The
main objective of portfolio company investments is to achieve capital
appreciation, and realized gains and losses from, and unrealized appreciation
and depreciation in, portfolio investments are not included within total
investment income.  However, consistent with one of the Company's long-term
goals of achieving net investment income and increased earnings stability in
future years, a significant proportion of new portfolio investments are
structured so as to provide a current yield through interest or dividends.  The
Company also earns interest on short term investments of cash funds.

         During the current year, first quarter total investment income of
$467,958 was approximately 24% greater than total investment income of $376,184
for the prior year first quarter.  In the current year first quarter as
compared to the prior year first quarter, interest income increased $90,779,
dividend income decreased $35,310, and other income increased $36,305.  The
increase in investment income for the current year first quarter was largely
due to the increased investment level and the interest on new portfolio
investments.  While dividend income decreased, this was offset by the increase
in other income, consisting primarily of closing fees on new investments.

         Total operating expenses for the first quarter of the current year
were $530,685, an increase of approximately 8% as compared to total operating
expenses for the prior year first  quarter of $493,343.  Management fees
increased from $157,517 to $171,146 in the current year first quarter as
compared to the prior year first quarter due to the increase in assets under
management and in





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
other operating expenses, administrative fees associated with being a public
company increased by $16,585 during the current  year period as compared to the
prior year period.

         During the current year first quarter, the Company recorded a net
realized gain on investments before income taxes of $2,434, as compared with a
net realized gain on investments before income taxes of $500,766 during the
prior year period.  The lower level of net realized gains on investments during
the current year first quarter as compared to the prior year first quarter is
consistent with the expectations of management expressed in the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, due
to the early stage in the investment cycle of most of the Company's portfolio
investments.  However, based upon developments subsequent to the date of this
Report on Form 10- Q, management has revised its expectations regarding
portfolio investment divestiture and liquidity events for the remainder of the
current fiscal year, which may result in greater net realized gains on
investments than previously anticipated for the current fiscal year.
Management does not attempt to maintain a comparable level of realized gains
from year to year or quarter to quarter but instead attempts to maximize total
investment portfolio appreciation through realizing gains in the disposition of
securities and investing in new portfolio investments.

                                  INCOME TAXES

         Due to the net investment expense and net loss on investments recorded
during the first  quarter of the current fiscal year, the Company did not
utilize any of its deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss
carryforwards at the fresh-start date, or record any increase in deferred tax
assets during this period.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         To date, the Company has relied upon several sources to fund its
investment activities, including the Company's U.S. treasury bills, cash
equivalents and cash, and the Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC")
capital program operated by the Small Business Administration (the "SBA").

         The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MorAmerica Capital,
from time to time may seek to procure additional capital through the SBIC
capital program to provide a portion of its future investment capital
requirements.  At present, there is availability of capital through the SBIC
capital program and the Company anticipates that there will be capital
available in future periods.  The Company also believes that recently enacted
federal legislation which permits SBICs to obtain debt financing from federal
home loan banks may provide an additional source of debt financing for the
Company.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company's U.S. treasury bills,
certificates of deposit and cash totaled $10,529,077.  The Company believes
that this provides adequate funds for the Company's planned $8,500,000 in new
and follow-on investment activities during the current fiscal year, of





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
which $3,461,062 was invested during the first quarter of the current fiscal
year.  The Company does not now need additional capital to meet its anticipated
cash requirements over the next twelve months, including investment activities,
operating expenses and odd-lot shareholder stock repurchases.

         Liquidity for the next several years will not be impacted by principal
payments on the Company's debentures payable because there are no scheduled
principal payments until 2000.  Debentures payable are composed of $10,290,000
in principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by the Company's
subsidiary, MorAmerica Capital, which mature as follows: $2,450,000 in 2000,
$5,690,000 in 2001 and $2,150,000 in 2003.

         While additional capital is not anticipated to be required during the
current fiscal year, the Company anticipates that it may seek additional
capital in future years, either in the form of additional SBA-guaranteed
debentures or participating securities issued by MorAmerica Capital or in the
form of common stock of the Company, to fund growth of the Company, to meet
principal payments as the outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures become due and
payable and for other corporate purposes.

                               PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

          During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company invested
$3,461,062 in eight portfolio companies, consisting of $2,906,372 invested in
three new portfolio companies and $554,690 invested in follow-on investments in
five existing portfolio companies. The Company's investment level objectives
for fiscal year 1997 call for total new and follow-on investments of
$8,500,000.  Based upon the total amount of new and follow-on investments made
during the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company anticipates that
it will achieve its investment level objectives for the current fiscal year.
However, management views investment level objectives for any given year as
secondary in importance to the Company's overriding concern of investing in
only those portfolio companies which satisfy the Company's investment criteria.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

         The net asset value per share of the Company's outstanding common
stock is determined quarterly, as soon as practicable after and as of the end
of each calendar quarter, by dividing the value of total assets minus total
liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding at the date as of which
the determination is made.

         In calculating the value of total assets, securities that are traded
in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange are valued in accordance
with the current valuation policies of the Small Business Administration
("SBA").  Under SBA regulations, publicly traded equity securities are valued
by taking the average of the closing prices (or bid prices in the case of
over-the-counter equity securities) for the valuation date and the preceding
two days.  This policy differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission's
guidelines which utilize only a one day price measurement.





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
The Company's use of SBA valuation procedures did not result in a material
variance as of December 31, 1996, from valuations using the Securities and
Exchange Commission's guidelines.

         All other investments are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has determined that
all other investments will be valued initially at cost, but such valuation will
be subject to semi-annual adjustments if the Board of Directors determines in
good faith that cost no longer represents fair value.
