MACC PRIVATE EQUITIES INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)      Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of MACC Private Equities Inc. (MACC) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary MorAmerica Capital Corporation (MorAmerica Capital) have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

         The financial statements included herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto of MACC Private Equities Inc. and its
Subsidiary as of and for the year ended September 30, 1998. The information
reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations for the interim periods. The results of the interim period
reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
The balance sheet information as of September 30, 1998 has been derived from the
audited balance sheet as of that date.

         SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes the standards for
the reporting and display of comprehensive income in the financial statements.
Comprehensive income represents net earnings and certain amounts reported
directly in stockholders' equity, such as the net unrealized gain or loss on
available-for-sale securities. MACC adopted SFAS 130 effective October 1, 1998.
Because net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are
included in the Statement of Operations, SFAS 130 has no effect on MACC's
financial statements.

(2)      Common Stock

         During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, MACC declared a 30% stock 
split effected in the form of a stock dividend resulting in the issuance of
372,705 shares of Common stock to its shareholders. Cash of $9,676.71 was paid
for fractional shares. The September 30, 1998 net assets per share is computed
as if the stock dividend occurred at that date.

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 MACC pursuant to the
safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act, and are identified as including terms
such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans,"
or similar language. In connection with these safe-harbor provisions, MACC has
identified in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998, important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement made by or on
behalf of MACC, including, without limitation, the high risk nature of MACC's
portfolio investments, any failure to achieve annual investment level
objectives, changes in prevailing market interest rates, and contractions in the
markets for corporate acquisitions and initial public offerings. MACC further
cautions that such factors are not exhaustive or exclusive. MACC does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement which may be made from time to
time by or on behalf of MACC.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Second Quarter and Six Months Ended March 31, 1999, Compared to 
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended March 31, 1998

         MACC's investment income includes income from interest, dividends and
fees. Net investment income/expense represents total investment 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 in the portfolio. These are not included in net investment
income. However, another one of MACC's long-term goals is to achieve net
investment income and increased earnings stability in future years. In this
regard, a significant proportion of new portfolio investments are structured so
as to provide a current yield through interest or dividends. MACC also earns
interest on short term investments of cash.

         During the current year, second quarter total investment income of
$750,157 was approximately 36% greater than total investment income of $553,301
for the prior year second quarter. In the current year second quarter as
compared to the prior year second quarter, interest income increased $1,283,
dividend income increased $197,158, and other income decreased $1,585. The
increase in interest income is attributable primarily to the growth in MACC's
portfolio and the interest received from its portfolio investments. The increase
in dividend income is due to dividends received on five portfolio companies in
the current year second quarter as compared to dividends received on one
portfolio company in the prior year second quarter. MACC records distributions
from its investments in limited liability companies as dividends.


                                        7



<PAGE>   8




         During the current year six-month period, total income of $1,230,565
increased 11% over total income of $1,112,551 in the prior year six-month
period. For the current year six-month period as compared to the prior year
six-month period, interest income increased from $890,537 to $921,172, dividend
income increased from $106,918 to $226,033 and other income decreased from
$115,096 to $83,360. The increases in interest income and dividend income are as
a result of the same factors as indicated above for the second quarter. The
decrease in other income is the net result of higher commitment fees received by
MACC in the prior year six-month period, other income from a payment received on
an other asset during the prior year six-month period, and other income from the
partial payment of MACC's claim against the liquidation estate of one of its
former insurers received in the prior year six-month period, which were
partially offset by an advisory fee received from one portfolio company during
the current year six-month period.

         Total operating expenses for the second quarter and six-month period of
the current year total $629,143 and $1,205,936, respectively, increases of 9%
and 13%, respectively, as compared to total operating expenses for the prior
year second quarter of $577,954 and six-month period of $1,069,220. Interest
expense increased by $5,807 and $22,199 due to additional borrowings from the
Small Business Administration in the current year second quarter and six-month
period, respectively. Management fees increased from $165,622 to $199,563 in the
current year second quarter as compared to the prior year second quarter and
increased from $328,587 to $397,229 in the current six-month period as compared
to the prior year six-month period due to the increase of assets under
management. Professional fees increased by $5,440 and $6,121, respectively, and
other expenses, which includes administrative expenses associated with being a
public corporation, increased by $6,001 and $39,754 in the current year second
quarter and six-month period.

         For the current year second quarter and six-month period, MACC recorded
net investment income of $121,014 and $24,629, respectively, as compared to net
investment expense and income of ($14,753) and $26,231 during the prior year
second quarter and six-month period, respectively.

         During the current year second quarter and six-month period, MACC
recorded net realized loss on investments before income taxes of ($39,782) and
($85,999), respectively, as compared with net realized (loss) gain on
investments before income taxes during the prior year second quarter and
six-month period of ($19,999) and $310,505, respectively. MACC previously
announced that it anticipated a significant gain in connection with the
potential sale of one portfolio company investment, which was expected to occur
in or before the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Although that transaction was
not consummated as anticipated, MACC remains optimistic that the portfolio
company investment may be sold prior to fiscal year end 1999. With the above
portfolio sale and other potential sales, MACC expects to meet management's
projected September 30, 1999, net asset value per share of $13.65. 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.


                                        8


<PAGE>   9




         MACC recorded net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on
investments of ($58,524) during the current year second quarter, as compared to
$2,119,283 during the prior year period which was due to the strong performance
of several portfolio companies. Net change in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation on investments represents the change for the period in
the unrealized appreciation on MACC's total investment portfolio net of
unrealized depreciation on MACC's total portfolio investment. Generally, when
MACC increases the fair value of a portfolio investment above its cost, the
unrealized appreciation item for the portfolio as a whole increases, and when
MACC decreases the fair value of a portfolio investment below it cost, the
unrealized depreciation item for the portfolio as a whole increases. When MACC
sells an appreciated portfolio investment for a gain, unrealized appreciation
for the portfolio as a whole decreases as the gain is realized. Similarly, when
MACC sells a depreciated portfolio investment for a loss, unrealized
depreciation for the portfolio as a whole decreases as the loss is realized.

         The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments
of ($58,524) recorded during the current year second quarter is the net effect
of a decrease in the fair value of four portfolio investments which was
partially offset by the increase in the fair value of three portfolio
investments.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

         MACC, 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 for the next three years in commitment
periods of up to five years through the SBIC capital program and MACC
anticipates that there will be capital available in future periods.

         As of March 31, 1999, MACC's cash totaled $1,815,841. MACC borrowed
$1,000,000 in new SBA Guaranteed Debentures in March 1999 and has a commitment
for an additional $17,290,000 in SBA guaranteed debentures. The additional
commitments of $17,290,000 are 5 year commitments. MACC believes that its
existing cash, together with available proceeds from the additional $17,290,000
in SBA guaranteed debentures and other anticipated cash flows, will provide
adequate funds for MACC's anticipated cash requirements during the current
fiscal year and over the remaining SBA commitment period, including portfolio
investment activities, principal and interest payments on outstanding debentures
payable and administrative expenses. MACC has planned $8,500,000 in new and
follow-on investment activities during the current fiscal year.

         Liquidity for the next several years will be impacted by principal
payments on MACC's debentures payable. Debentures payable are composed of
$12,290,000 in principal


                                        9


<PAGE>   10




amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by MACC's subsidiary, MorAmerica
Capital, which mature as follows: $2,450,000 in 2000, $5,690,000 in 2001,
$2,150,000 in 2003, $1,000,000 in 2007 and $1,000,000 in 2009. It is anticipated
MorAmerica Capital would be able to roll over this debt with new ten year
debentures when it matures. MorAmerica Capital has obtained a 5 year commitment
of leverage from SBA which includes commitments to refinance these debentures
for another 10 year term. As indicated above, the total amount of MorAmerica
Capital's commitment from the SBA is $17,290,000.

                               PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

         During the six months ended March 31, 1999, MACC invested $1,989,609 in
five portfolio companies, consisting of $1,739,000 invested in two new portfolio
companies and $250,609 invested in follow-on investments in three existing
portfolio companies. MACC's investment level objectives for fiscal year 1999
call for total new and follow-on investments of $8,500,000. MACC 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 MACC's overriding concern of investing in only
those portfolio companies which satisfy MACC's investment criteria.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

         The net asset value per share of MACC'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 close (or bid price 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. MACC's use of SBA valuation procedures did not
result in a material variance as of March 31, 1999, 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 and on such other interim periods as are
justified by material portfolio company events if the Board of Directors
determines in good faith that cost no longer represents fair value.



                                       10


<PAGE>   11




                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         MACC anticipates that it will incur internal staff costs as well as
consulting and other expenses related to the enhancements necessary to prepare
its systems for the year 2000, and expects to be complete with the year 2000
project by June 30, 1999. Based on MACC's current knowledge, the expense of the
year 2000 projects as well as the related potential effect on MACC's earnings is
not expected to have a material effect on MACC's financial position or results
of operations. MACC's current estimate for fiscal 1999 expenses of the year 2000
project are not expected to exceed $50,000. MACC is aware of potential year 2000
risks and the possible adverse impact resulting from failures by third parties
(such as banks and vendors) and portfolio companies to adequately address year
2000 problems. MACC could incur losses if portfolio companies incur business
losses related to the year 2000. To date, MACC has not yet been advised by such
parties that they do not have plans in place to address and correct the issues
associated with the year 2000; however, no assurance can be given as to the
adequacy of such plans or to the timeliness of their implementation. MACC's
computer operations are not complex and functions can be performed manually for
some period of time.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         MACC is exposed to market risk from changes in market prices of
publicly traded equity securities held in the MACC consolidated investment
portfolio. At March 31, 1999, publicly traded equity securities in the MACC
consolidated investment portfolio were recorded at a fair value of $882,386. In
accordance with MACC's valuation policies and SBA regulations, the fair value of
publicly traded equity securities is determined based upon the average of the
closing prices (or bid price in the case of over-the-counter equity securities)
for the valuation date and the preceding two days. The publicly traded equity
securities in the MACC consolidated investment portfolio thus have exposure to
price risk, which is estimated as the potential loss in fair value due to a
hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted market prices, and would amount to a
decrease in the recorded value of such publicly traded equity securities of
approximately $88,239. Actual results may differ.

         MACC is also exposed to market risk from changes in market interest
rates that affect the fair value of MorAmerica Capital's debentures payable
determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair
value of MorAmerica Capital's outstanding debentures payable at March 31, 1999,
was $12,480,000, with a cost of $12,290,000. Fair value of MorAmerica Capital's
outstanding debentures payable is calculated by discounting cash flows through
estimated maturity using the borrowing rate currently available to MorAmerica
Capital for debt of similar original maturity. None of MorAmerica Capital's
outstanding debentures payable are publicly traded. Market risk is estimated as
the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 0.5% decrease
in interest rates. Actual results may differ.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         On February 23, 1999, the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(the "Meeting") was held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A quorum of 852,028 shares, or
approximately 68.35% of issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 1998,

of and 10,979 shares withheld, the shareholders elected three directors to serve
until 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their respective successors
shall be elected and qualified. These directors and the votes cast in favor of
and withheld with respect to each are as follows:

         Director                   For              Withheld
         --------                   ---              --------

                         MORAMERICA CAPITAL CORPORATION
                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         This INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT dated as of March 1, 1999 (the
"Agreement") by MorAmerica Capital Corporation, a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Iowa ("MACC"), and InvestAmerica Investment Advisors,
Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware
("InvestAmerica").

         WHEREAS, MACC is licensed as a small business investment company
("SBIC") under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and
operates as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "ICA"); and

         WHEREAS, MACC is in need of certain investment advisory services 
in order to carry on its business;

         WHEREAS, InvestAmerica is registered as an investment advisor under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         Section 1.  Definitions.

         1.1  "Affiliate"  shall have the meaning given under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         1.2  "Assets Under Management" shall mean the total value of MACC's
assets Managed by InvestAmerica under this Agreement.

         1.3  "Capital Losses" are those which are placed, consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles, on the books of MACC and which occur
when:

              (a) An actual or realized loss is sustained owing to Portfolio
         Company or investment events including, but not limited to,
         liquidation, sale or bankruptcy;

              (b) The Board of Directors of MACC determines that a loss or
         depreciation in value from the value on the date of this Agreement
         should be taken by MACC in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles and SBA accounting regulations and is shown on
         its books as a part of the periodic valuation of the Portfolio
         Companies by the Board of Directors; or

              (c) Capital Losses are adjusted for reverses of depreciation
         when the Board of Directors determines that a value should be adjusted
         upward and the investment value remains at or below original cost.

                                       18

<PAGE>   3




         For purposes of this definition, in any case where the Board of
Directors of MACC writes down the value of any investment in MACC's portfolio
(in accordance with the standards set forth in subsection 1.3(b) above), (i)
such reduction in value shall result in a new cost basis for such investment and
(ii) the most recent cost basis of such investment shall thereafter be used in
the determination of any Realized Capital Gains or Capital Losses in MACC's
portfolio (i.e., there shall be no double-counting of losses when a security
(whose value has declined in a prior period) is ultimately sold at a price below
its historical cost).

         1.4  "Capital Under Management" shall mean MACC's (i) fiscal year end
Regulatory Capital as defined in the SBA regulations as of the date hereof
(which regulations define Regulatory Capital to exclude unrealized capital gains

         1.9  "Other Venture Capital Funds" has the meaning set forth in
subsection 3.3(c).

         1.10 "Portfolio Company" or "Portfolio Companies" shall mean any

acquired in liquidation of any Portfolio Company.

         1.11 "Regulatory Capital" has the meaning set forth in the definition
of Capital Under Management in Section 1.4 above.

         1.12 "Realized Capital Gains" shall mean capital gains after deducting
the cost and expenses necessary to achieve the gain (e.g., broker's fees). For
purposes of this Agreement:

              (a) Capital gains are Realized Capital Gains upon the cash
         sale of the capital stock or assets of a Portfolio Company or any other
         asset or item of property managed by InvestAmerica pursuant to the

         Company into the Company, the historical cost of such assets shall be
         the basis for determining any Realized Capital Gains on the disposition
         thereof, and

              (c) Realized Capital Gains other than cash gains shall be
         recorded and calculated in the period the gain is realized; however, in
         determining payment of any incentive fee, the payment shall be made
         when the cash is received. The amount of the fee earned on gains other
         than cash shall be recorded as incentive fees payable on the financial
         statements of MACC.

         Section 3.  Nonexclusive Obligations; Co-investments.

         3.1  The obligations of InvestAmerica to MACC are not exclusive.
 InvestAmerica and its Affiliates may, in their discretion, manage other venture
 capital funds and render the same or similar services to any other person or
 persons who may be making the same or similar investments. The parties
 acknowledge that InvestAmerica may offer the same investment opportunities as
 may be offered to MACC to other persons for whom InvestAmerica is providing
 services. Neither InvestAmerica nor any of its Affiliates shall in any manner
 be liable to MACC or its Affiliates by reason of the activities of
 InvestAmerica or its Affiliates on behalf of other persons and funds as
 described in this paragraph and any conflict of interest arising therefrom is
 hereby expressly waived.

         3.2  InvestAmerica Venture Group, Inc. ("Venture Group") has managed
 MACC in the past. Venture Group is also currently the General Partner of
 InvestAmerica Venture Group L.P. which in turn is the General Partner of the
 Iowa Venture Capital Fund L.P. (the "Iowa Fund"). Because of these
 relationships, Venture Group manages the affairs of the Iowa Fund.

         3.3  For the benefit of MACC's investment activities, InvestAmerica 
and its Affiliates intend to maintain various future co-investment relationships
involving the Company which will include the following co-investments
opportunities for as long as InvestAmerica is an investment adviser to MACC:

              (a) MACC will continue to review and to invest in its current
         coinvestments with the Iowa Fund.

              (b) MACC will be accorded the opportunity to invest in all
         investment opportunities found by the Iowa Fund or any future successor
         or continuation fund of the Iowa Fund.

              (c) In the future, MACC will be accorded the opportunity to
         review and to invest in all investments found by other venture capital
         funds managed by InvestAmerica and its Affiliates (collectively, the
         "Other Venture Capital Funds").

         For purposes of this Section 3.3, where the Companies have an
opportunity to co-invest with the Iowa Fund or Other Venture Capital Funds,
investment opportunities shall be


                                       22


<PAGE>   7




offered to the Companies and the Iowa Fund or the Other Venture Capital Funds,
as the case may be, (a) in the same proportion as its Regulatory Capital bears
to the total Regulatory Capital of the Companies and the Iowa Fund or the Other
Venture Capital Funds, as the case may be, in the aggregate, or (b) in such
other manner as is otherwise agreed upon by the Companies and the Iowa Fund or
the Other Venture Capital Funds, as the case may be. Notwithstanding this
Section 3.3, the terms of any applicable exemptive order obtained by the
Companies will control as to the terms of co-investments with the Iowa Fund and
the Other Capital Venture Funds.

         3.4  InvestAmerica will cause to be offered to MACC opportunities to
acquire or dispose of securities as provided in the co-investment guidelines
summarized in the section of the Company's SEC Registration Statement entitled
"Investment Objectives and Policies - Co-Investment Guidelines." Except to the
extent of acquisitions and dispositions that, in accordance with such
co-investment guidelines, require the specific approval of MACC's Board of
Directors, InvestAmerica is authorized to effect acquisitions and dispositions
of securities for MACC's account in InvestAmerica's discretion. Where such
approval is required, InvestAmerica is authorized to effect acquisitions and
dispositions for MACC's account upon and to the extent of such approval. MACC
will put InvestAmerica in funds whenever InvestAmerica requires funds for an
acquisition of securities in accordance with the foregoing, and MACC will cause
to be delivered in accordance with InvestAmerica's instructions any securities
disposed of in accordance with the foregoing.

         3.5  Should InvestAmerica or any of its Affiliates agree to perform 
or undertake any investment management services described in paragraph 3.1 for
any funds or persons in addition to the Iowa Fund, InvestAmerica will notify
MACC, in writing, not later than the commencement of such agreement or the
initial provision of such services.

         3.6  Any such investment management services and all co-investments
shall at all times be provided in strict accordance with rules and regulations
under the ICA, any exemptive order obtained thereunder and the rules and
regulations of the SBA.

         Section 4.  Services to Portfolio Companies.

         4.1  It is acknowledged that as a part of the services to be provided
by InvestAmerica hereunder, certain of its employees, representatives and agents
will act as members of the board of directors of individual Portfolio Companies,
will vote the shares of the capital stock of Portfolio Companies, and make other
decisions which may effect the near- and the long-term direction of a Portfolio
Company. Unless otherwise restricted hereafter by MACC in writing, in regard to
such actions and decisions MACC hereby appoints InvestAmerica (and such
officers, Directors, employees, representatives and agents is it shall
designate) as its proxy, as a result of which InvestAmerica shall have the
authority, in its performance of this Agreement, to make decisions and to take,
without specific authority from the Board of Directors of MACC, as to all
matters which are not hereby restricted.



                                       23


<PAGE>   8




         4.2  All fees, including director's fees that may be paid by or for 
the account of an entity in which MACC has invested or in which MACC is
proposing to invest in connection with an investment transaction in which MACC
participates or provides managerial assistance, will be treated as commitment
fees or management fees and will be received by MACC, pro rata to its
participation in such transaction. InvestAmerica will be allowed to be
reimbursed by Portfolio Companies for all direct expenses associated with due
diligence and management of portfolio investments or investment opportunities
(travel, meals, lodging, etc.).

         4.3  InvestAmerica's sole and exclusive compensation for its services
to be rendered hereunder will be in the form of a management fee and a separate
incentive fee as provided in Section 5. Should any officer or director of
InvestAmerica serve as a member of the Board of Directors of MACC, such officer
or director of InvestAmerica shall not receive compensation as a member of the
Board of Directors of MACC.

         Section 5.  Management and Incentive Fees.

         5.1  During the term of this Agreement, MACC will pay InvestAmerica
monthly in arrears a management fee equal to 2.5% per annum of the Capital Under
Management, but in no event more than either: (i) 2.5% per annum. of the Assets
Under Management, or (ii) 7.5% of Regulatory Capital.

         5.2  During the term of this Agreement, MACC shall pay to 
InvestAmerica an incentive fee determined as specified in this Section 5.2.

              (a)      The incentive fee shall be calculated as follows:

                       (i)  The amount of the fee shall be 13.4% of the Net
              Capital Gains, before taxes, resulting from the disposition of
              investments in MACC's Portfolio Companies or resulting from the
              disposition of other assets or property of MACC managed by
              InvestAmerica pursuant to the terms hereof.

                       (ii) Net Capital Gains, before taxes, shall be
              calculated annually at the end of each fiscal year for the
              purpose of determining the earned incentive fee, unless this
              Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of any fiscal
              year, then such calculation shall be made at the end of such
              shorter period. A preliminary calculation shall be made on the
              last business day of each of the three fiscal quarters
              preceding the end of each fiscal year for the purpose of
              determining the incentive fee payable under Section 5.2(c)(i)
              below. Capital Losses and Realized Capital Gains shall not be
              cumulative (i.e., no Capital Losses nor Realized Capital Gains
              are carried forward into any subsequent fiscal year).



                                       24


<PAGE>   9




                      (iii)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
              the assets on which the incentive fee shall be calculated shall
              include all assets owned by MACC prior to the time of the
              mergers of MorAmerica Financial Corporation and Morris Plan
              Liquidation Company into the Company.

                 (b)  Upon termination of this Agreement, all earned but unpaid
         incentive fees shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however,
         that incentive fees earned with respect to non-cash Realized Capital
         Gains shall not be due and owing to InvestAmerica until the cash is
         received by MACC.

                 (c)  Payment of incentive fees shall be made as follows:

                      (i)  To the extent payable, the incentive fee shall be
                 paid, in cash, in arrears by the last business day of each
                 fiscal quarter in the fiscal year. The incentive fee shall be
                 retroactively adjusted as soon as practicable following
                 completion of valuations at the end of each fiscal year in
                 which this Agreement is in effect to reflect the actual
                 incentive fee due and owing to InvestAmerica, and if such
                 adjustment reveals that InvestAmerica has received more
                 incentive fee income than it is entitled to hereunder,
                 InvestAmerica shall promptly reimburse MACC for the amount of
                 such excess.

                      (ii) In the event MACC earns any incentive fees, the
                  payment of which would cause MACC's Regulatory Capital to be
                  25% or more impaired, the portion of such fees which causes
                  the impairment shall be paid by MACC into a trust or escrow
                  account established by MACC for the benefit of InvestAmerica.
                  Fees from such account shall be released to InvestAmerica at
                  such time as, and to the extent that, MACC's Regulatory
                  Capital is no longer so impaired.

         Section 6.  Liability and Indemnification of InvestAmerica.

         6.1 Neither InvestAmerica, nor any of its officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents or Affiliates, whether past, present or future
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), shall be liable to MACC, or any of
MACC's Affiliates for any error in judgment or mistake of law made by the
Indemnified Parties in connection with any investment made by or for MACC,
provided such error or mistake was made in good faith and was not made in bad
faith or as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Indemnified Parties. MACC confirms that in performing services hereunder
InvestAmerica will be an agent of MACC for the purpose of the indemnification
provisions of the Bylaws of MACC subject, however, to the same limitations as
though InvestAmerica were a director or officer of MACC. InvestAmerica shall not
be liable to MACC, its shareholders or its creditors, except for violations of
law or for conduct which would preclude InvestAmerica from being indemnified
under such provisions. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall be applicable to



                                       25

the Board of Directors, including a majority of members who are not parties to
such agreement or interested persons of any such party.
