ITEM 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Condition

o     General

               Waterside Capital Corporation ("Waterside" or the "Company") is a
               specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia. The
               Company invests in equity and debt securities to finance the
               growth, expansion and modernization of small private businesses,
               primarily in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The Company was formed in
               1993 as the Eastern Virginia Small Business Investment
               Corporation. Through June 30, 1996 the Company operated as a
               development stage company focused primarily on preparation to
               commence operations. The Company was licensed in 1996 by the 
               Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Small Business 
               Investment Company (SBIC) under the Small Business Investment Act
               of 1958. In October 1996 the Company made its first portfolio 
               investment. In January 1998 the Company completed its Initial 
               Public Offering (IPO) to raise additional equity to support its 
               growth strategy.

               The majority of the Company's operating income is derived from
               dividend and interest income on portfolio investments and
               interest earned on cash equivalents. The remaining portion of the
               Company's operating income comes from application and processing
               fees related to investment originations. The Company's operating
               expenses primarily consist of payroll and other expenses
               incidental to operations. Waterside currently has 8 full time
               employees and 3 offices from which it operates -- Norfolk and
               Richmond, Virginia and Charlotte, North Carolina.

o     Results of Operations

               Due to the successful completion of its IPO in January 1998 and
               the Company's initiation of its growth strategy using the
               proceeds from its IPO, the three months ended September 30, 1998
               do not offer a meaningful comparison with the performance for the
               three months ended September 30, 1997.

               For the three months ended September 30, 1998, total operating
               income was $678 thousand compared to the $54 thousand generated
               during the same period of 1997. The increase in operating income
               is due to the growth in the Company's investment portfolio. The
               1998 operating income consisted of dividends of $226 thousand,
               fee income of $322 thousand, interest on loans of $104 thousand
               and interest on cash equivalents of $27 thousand.
<PAGE>

               Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30,
               1998 were $322 thousand, consisting primarily of salary and
               benefits of $226 thousand, legal and accounting expenses of $15
               thousand and other operating expenses of $81 thousand. These
               total operating expenses compared to the $63 thousand expended
               during the three months ended September 30, 1997. Net operating
               income of $307 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 1998
               compared favorably to the $1 thousand loss during the same
               quarter of 1997.

               The Company recognized realized appreciation on investments of
               $140,514 during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 due to
               settlement of the sale of equity securities of Election Products,
               Inc., one of the Company's portfolio investments.

               The reduction in the change in unrealized appreciation on
               investments, net of taxes of $389 thousand for the three months
               ended September 30, 1998 and $120 thousand for the three months
               ended September 30, 1997 was due to the decreased stock price of
               a publicly traded portfolio company.

o     Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

               During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company
               originated $6,275,000 in new investments including $4,500,000 in
               preferred equity securities and $1,775,000 in loans. To fund
               these originations the Company reduced its cash position from
               $4.4 million at June 30, 1998 to $200 thousand outstanding at
               September 30, 1998. In addition, the Company borrowed $700
               thousand under a Line of Credit Agreement with its primary bank.
               Borrowings under the Line of Credit were fully repaid on October
               2, 1998. On October 2, 1998 the Company borrowed $6 million from
               the SBA as its first draw on a leverage commitment previously
               outstanding. The Company has additional approved leverage
               available of $6.3 million, which it anticipates will be
               sufficient to operate through approximately March 31, 1999. The
               Company has an additional two tiers of leverage (or approximately
               $26 million) that it may borrow from the SBA based on its current
               regulatory capital position. These additional two tiers of
               leverage are subject to approval by the SBA. Management believes
               that these sources of capital will be sufficient to fund the
               Company's operations and grow its portfolio in fiscal 1999.

               During the quarter ended September 30, 1998 cash provided by
               operating activities was $517 thousand as compared to the $55
               thousand provided during the three months ended September 30,
               1997, primarily due to the increase in net operating income
               before taxes. The Company used $5.4 million in investing
               activities during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as
               compared to the $425 thousand used in the comparable period of
               1997. This increase is primarily attributable to the growth in
               the investment portfolio described above, net of the $875
               thousand in cash generated from the liquidation of the Company's
               investment in Election Products, Inc. The Company generated $700
               thousand in cash from financing activities in the quarter ended
               September 30, 1998 representing the proceeds from the line of
               credit described above.

o     The Year 2000

               State of readiness:

               The Company is in the process of identifying and addressing the
               potential impact of the Year 2000 issue on its operations. This
               process has identified three primary areas in which the Company
               could be affected. First, the Company has assessed its financial
               and administrative software programs. As part of this process,
               the Company has contacted its software vendors, who have
               indicated that their programs either are or will be Year 2000
               compliant. The Company will continue to work with these vendors
               to ensure that necessary upgrades and testing are completed by
               mid 1999. Due to the nature of the Company's business, management
               does not expect a significant impact associated with
               non-information technology systems. Second, the Company is
               assessing its key relationship with suppliers and other third
               parties, including its principal bank, to determine the potential
               impact of Year 2000 on these parties, and in turn on the Company.
               The Company will continue to analyze this area in further detail
               in 1999. Finally, the Company has begun an investigation of the
               impact of Year 2000 issues on its portfolio companies. This
               investigation is not complete, and as a result, the Company
               cannot assess the potential exposure associated with the
               readiness of its portfolio companies for Year 2000. Because of
               the reverse nature and relatively small size of its portfolio
               companies the readiness of its portfolio companies represents the
               Company's most significant risk with regards to the Year 2000.
               Although the Company is currently unaware of any significant Year
               2000 issues related to its portfolio companies, the failure of
               one or more of the portfolio companies to properly prepare for
               the Year 2000 could have a material adverse impact on the
               Company's business results of operations and financial condition.
               The Company plans to complete its initial assessment of the
               readiness of its portfolio companies by the end of 1998. Until
               the Company completes its assessment, it cannot offer any
               assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not adversely affect the
               Company's business. Based upon its assessment, contingency plans
               will be developed to mitigate the potential risks. Based on the
               assessment performed to date, the Company does not believe that
               the cost of its Year 2000 remediation activities will be material
               to its results of operations or financial position.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

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

   (1)   Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
         financial statements of Waterside Capital Corporation (the "Company") 
         are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
         principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to
         the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of 
         Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual 
         financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In 
         the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal 
         recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial 
         statements for the interim period, have been included. The current 
         period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of 
         results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim 
         financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction 
         with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
         Company's Form N-30D, as filed with the Securities and Exchange 
         Commission.

   (2)   Description of Business

         Waterside Capital Corporation was incorporated in the
         Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and is a closed-end
         investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration (the
         "SBA") as a Small Business Investment Corporation ("SBIC"). The Company
         makes equity investments in, and provides loans to, small business
         concerns to finance their growth, expansion and development. Under
         applicable SBA regulations, the Company is restricted to investing only
         in qualified small business concerns as contemplated by the Small
         Business Investment Act of 1958.

   (3)   Investments

         Investments are carried at fair value, as determined by the Executive
         Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company, through its Board of
         Directors, has adopted the Model Valuation Policy, as published by the
         Small Business Administration (SBA), in Appendix III to Part 107 of
         Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (the "Policy"). The Policy,
         among other things, presumes that loans and investments are acquired
         with the intent that they are to be held until maturity or disposed of
         in the ordinary course of business. Except for interest-bearing
         securities which are convertible into common stock, interest-bearing
         securities are valued in an amount not greater than cost, with
         unrealized depreciation being recognized when value is impaired. Equity
         securities of private companies are presumed to represent cost unless
         the performance of the portfolio company, positive or negative,
         indicates otherwise in accordance with the Policy guidelines. The fair
         value of equity securities of publicly traded companies are generally
         valued at their quoted market price discounted for the effect of
         restrictions on the sale of such securities. Discounts range from 0% to
         40%. The Company maintains custody of its investments as permitted by
         the Investment Company Act of 1940.

   (3)   Continued

         Investments consist primarily of preferred stock obtained from and
         loans made to portfolio companies under SBIC investment and loan
         regulations. The financial statements include securities valued at
         $8,506,225 and $13,279,236 at June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998
         (63.6% and 94.1% of assets) respectively. Investments are recorded at
         fair value as determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of
         Directors or by current market prices, if available, in accordance with
         the Company's valuation policy. The valuation process completed by
         management includes estimates made by management and the Executive
         Committee in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. These
         estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would
         have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and those
         differences could be material.

   (5)   Financial Guarantee

         As of September 30, 1998, the Company has issued a guarantee for
         $800,000, through September 4, 1999, on borrowings by a company in
         which it has invested. The Company earned a fee of $40,000 in
         conjunction with the guarantee which will be recognized as fee income
         over the life of the guarantee. The Company receives a maximum monthly
         fee for providing the guarantee of 0.5% of the outstanding loan balance
         at the end of each month.

   (6)   Line of Credit

         On September 29, 1998, the Company borrowed $700,000 under a line of
         credit agreement. The interest rate on the line was the bank's prime
         rate. Borrowings under the line of credit were fully repaid on October
         2, 1998 using the proceeds received from the SBA described in note 8.

   (7)   New Accounting Pronouncement

         As of July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
         SFAS No. 130 established new rules for the reporting and display of
         comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this
         statement had no material impact on the Company's net increase in
         stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share or
         stockholders' equity.

   (8)   Subsequent Event

         On October 2, 1998, the Company borrowed $6,000,000 from the SBA under
         10 year notes. The notes are due on October 2, 2008 and bear interest
         at an interim rate of 5.716% plus a 1.35% fee on the outstanding
         balance. The interest rate will be finalized on March 24, 1999. In
         conjunction with the signing of the notes, the Company paid a 2.5%
         origination fee in addition to the 1% commitment fee paid during fiscal
         1998. The total amount of leverage approved by the SBA and available
         for borrowing is $12,300,000, including the $6,000,000 drawn in October
         1998 described above.
