                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

     Sirrom Capital Corporation (the "Company"), a Tennessee Corporation, was
formed in November 1994 and Sirrom Capital, L.P. (the "Partnership") became a
partnership under the laws of the State of Tennessee in November 1991. The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis appropriate for
investment companies as enumerated in the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants' Audit and Accounting Guide on Audits of Investment
Companies.

     The Company is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company, which has
elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Prior to August 1996, the Company was
also a small business investment company ("SBIC") licensed under the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958 (the "1958 Act"). The Company was licensed by
the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") on May 14, 1992. In August
1996, the Company transferred its SBIC operations, including its SBIC license,
assets and liabilities, to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sirrom Investments,
Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("SII").  Under applicable SBA regulations, SII
is restricted to investing only in qualified small business concerns in the
manner contemplated by the 1958 Act, as amended. Additionally, beginning in
February 1995, the Company elected to be taxed as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and in August 1996, SII elected the same tax treatment.

     In August 1996, the Company acquired Harris Williams & Co., L.P. ("Harris
Williams"), for 898,454 shares of common stock of the Company. After the
acquisition, Harris Williams began operating as a "C" corporation. Harris
Williams is a merger and acquisition advisory services firm located in
Richmond, Virginia, that is being operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The acquisition of Harris Williams is accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1995 and
September 30, 1996, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 and the Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996 have been restated accordingly to reflect the operations of
Harris Williams as an unconsolidated subsidiary accounted for by the equity
method of accounting in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

     The Company's objectives are to achieve both a high level of current
income from interest on loans and fees and long-term growth in the value of its
net assets through equity interests primarily in small, privately owned
companies. The Company targets small businesses that the Company believes meet
certain criteria, including the potential for significant growth, adequate
collateral coverage, experienced management teams, sophisticated outside equity
investors and profitable operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company
and SII.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidation.  Harris Williams is accounted for by the equity method of
accounting in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

     Portfolio investments are stated at fair value as determined by the Board
of Directors.

     Under the Company's valuation policy, the fair values of loans to small
business concerns are based on the Board of Director's evaluation of the
financial condition of the borrowers and/or the underlying collateral. The
values assigned are considered to be amounts which could be realized in the
normal course of business which anticipates the Company


                                                                               7

<PAGE>   8

holding the loan to maturity and realizing the face value of the loan. Fair
value for loans normally corresponds to cost unless the borrower's condition or
external factors lead to a determination of fair value at a lower amount.

     Equity interests and warrants for which there is not a public market are
valued based on factors such as pending or completed significant equity
financing by sophisticated, unrelated investors, history of positive cash flow
from operations, the market value of comparable publicly traded companies
(discounted for illiquidity) and other pertinent factors. The Board of
Directors also considers recent offers to purchase a portfolio company's
securities when valuing warrants. At September 30, 1996, the investment
portfolio included investments totaling $260,715,637, whose values had been
estimated by the Board of Directors in the absence of readily ascertainable
market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuations, the
estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have
been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the difference
could be material.

     The Company's investments in stocks of public companies that it is not
permitted to sell in the public market as a result of securities laws
restrictions, lock-up agreements or other similar restrictions are typically
valued at 70% of market value at the balance sheet date. All other publicly
traded stocks are typically valued at 90% of market value at the balance sheet
date.

REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAIN OR LOSS ON INVESTMENTS

     Realized gains or losses are recorded upon disposition of investments and
are calculated based upon the difference between the proceeds and the cost
basis determined using the specific identification method. All other changes in
the valuation of portfolio investments are included as changes in the
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments in the statement of
operations.

DESCRIPTION OF LOANS TERMS

     The loans to small business concerns included in investments bear interest
at rates ranging from 8.00% to 14.00%. Typically, interest is payable in
monthly or quarterly installments over five years with the entire principal
amounts due at maturity. These loans are generally collateralized by the assets
of the borrower, certain of which are subject to prior liens, and/or
guarantees.

LOAN PROCESSING FEES

     The Company recognizes loan processing fees as income when the loan is
closed.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, cash in
interest bearing and non-interest bearing operating bank accounts and highly
liquid investments such as time deposits with an original maturity of three
months or less.

DEBENTURE COSTS

     Debenture costs are amortized over the term of the related loan, which is
ten years for the 11 SBA debentures, as discussed in Note 3, and three years
for the Revolving Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 4.

INCOME TAXES

     Beginning in February 1995, the Company elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code") and in August 1996 SII elected the same tax treatment. If the Company
and SII each, as a RIC, satisfies certain requirements relating to the source
of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its
net income, the Company and SII may each be generally taxed as a pass through
entity which acts as a partial conduit of income to its shareholders.




                                                                               8

<PAGE>   9


     In order to maintain its RIC status, the Company and SII must each
separately in general: a) derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest and gains from the sale or disposition of securities b)
derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or disposition of
securities held for less than three months, c) meet investment diversification
requirements defined by the Code and d) distribute to shareholders at least 90%
of its net income (other than long-term capital gains).

     The Company and SII currently intend to meet the RIC qualifications in
future years. Therefore, the Company has not provided for federal income taxes
on the unrealized appreciation of investments.

3. DEBENTURES PAYABLE TO SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had 11 debentures totaling
$83,260,000 payable to the SBA with semiannual interest only payments based
upon rates ranging from 6.12% to 8.20% per annum, with scheduled maturity dates
as follows:

                 2004                 17,000,000
                 2005                 22,260,000
                 2006                 10,000,000
                                     -----------
                                     $83,260,000
</TABLE>

The debentures are subject to a prepayment penalty if paid prior to five years
from maturity. Interest expense related to these debentures for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $1,469,215.

4. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

     During December 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, whereby it may
borrow up to $50,000,000 at LIBOR plus 1.75% (6.62% at September 30, 1996).
The stated LIBOR rate at September 30, 1996 reflects a margin decrease of 0.57%
that the Company negotiated with the bank for borrowings under the line of
credit which are secured by cash. As of September 30, 1996, $41,811,000 was
outstanding. This agreement expires on December 27, 1998.

     Interest expense related to the line of credit for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 was $668,865.

     The Company has entered into two interest rate swap agreements.  The first
agreement effectively converts the variable rate on $30,000,000 of borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 8.15%. Under the
agreement, the Company has exchanged the interest rate difference between the
fixed and variable rates on incremental amounts of $3,000,000 a month beginning
in April 1996.  The second agreement effectively converts the variable rate on
$15,000,000 of borrowings to a fixed rate of 8.05%.  Under the agreement, the
Company has exchanged the interest rate difference between the fixed and
variable rates on incremental amounts of $5,000,000 a month beginning in
December 1996.

5. INCOME TAXES

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company provided for taxes
of $525,000 on realized long-term capital gains not distributed to shareholders
and also provided for $35,000 in state taxes.


                                                                               9

6. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

     In February 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "1996 Plan") that permits the issuance of options to purchase shares of
the Company's Common Stock to selected employees. The 1996 Plan reserves
390,000 shares of Common Stock for grant and provides that the terms of each
award be determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. Under the terms
of the 1996 Plan, the options' exercise price may not be less than the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. During 1996, the
Company has granted options to purchase 521,966 shares, at prices ranging from
$18.625 per share to $31.75 per share, the grant of some of which shares is
conditioned upon shareholder approval of an increase in the number of shares
available under the 1996 Plan.  The options on 471,966 shares vest 20% each year
beginning one year from the date of grant, and the options on 50,000 shares vest
33.3% beginning one year from the date of grant.

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

GENERAL

     In August 1996, the Company completed a corporate reorganization (the
"Restructuring") pursuant to which it transferred all of its small business
investment company ("SBIC") operations, including its SBIC license, assets and
liabilities, to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sirrom Investments, Inc., a
Tennessee corporation ("SII").  In August 1996, the Company also consummated
the acquisition of Harris Williams & Co., L.P. ("Harris Williams"), a merger
and acquisition advisory services firm located in Richmond, Virginia.  Harris
Williams was acquired for 898,454 shares of common stock of the Company and the
acquisition is being accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  Harris Williams
operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

     The Company's and SII's results of operations are presented on a
consolidated basis.  Harris Williams' results of operations are presented as an
unconsolidated subsidiary accounted for by the equity method of accounting in
conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's principal investment objectives are to achieve through its
own operations and those of its subsidiaries, SII and Harris Williams, both a
high level of income from interest on loans and fees and long-term growth in
its shareholders' equity through the appreciation in value of equity interests
in its portfolio companies. Therefore, the Company's and SII's loans are
typically made in the form of secured debt with relatively high fixed interest
rates and with warrants to purchase equity securities of the borrower. In
addition to interest on investments, the Company and SII also typically
collects an up-front processing fee on each loan they originate.  Harris
Williams typically obtains a retainer fee for each transaction in which it is
retained and, in addition, a success fee when the transaction is consummated.

     The Company's financial performance in the Statements of Operations is
composed of three primary elements. The first is "Net operating income," which
is the difference between the Company's income from interest, dividends, fees,
and Harris Williams' pre-tax income and its total operating expenses, including
interest expense. The second element is "Realized gain (loss) on investments,"
which is the difference between the proceeds received from the disposition of
portfolio assets in the aggregate at the end of the period and their stated
costs at the beginning of the period. The third element is the "Change in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments," which is the net change
in the fair values of the Company's portfolio assets compared with their fair
values at the beginning of the period or their stated costs, as appropriate.
Generally, "Realized gain (loss) on investments" and "Change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments" are inversely related in that 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 on 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.

     Net Operating Income. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
interest on investments was $6.4 million, an 88.0% increase over the $3.4
million earned in the same quarter of 1995.  For the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, interest on investments was $16.8 million, a 87% increase
over the $9.0 million earned in the same period of 1995. During the third
quarter of 1996, the Company collected $797,000 in processing fees, a 13.0%
increase over the $706,000 collected in the same quarter of 1995.  During the
first nine months of 1996, the Company collected $2,370,000 in processing fees,
a 52% increase over the $1,561,000 collected in the same period of 1995.  These
increases in interest income and processing fees are a result of the increase
both in the dollar amount of loans outstanding during the quarter and period
and loans originated during the quarter and period.  The Company's loan
portfolio increased 93.0% to $220 million at September 30, 1996, from $127
million at September 30, 1995. The $42 million of loans originated during the
third quarter of 1996 was a 35.0% increase over the $31 million of loans
originated in the same quarter of 1995. The $103.1 million of loans originated
in the first nine months of 1996 was 38% increase over the $74.7 million of
loans originated in the same period of 1995.  In addition, the weighted average
interest rate charged on the loan portfolio at September 30, 1996 was 13.13%,
as compared to 12.67% at September 30, 1995.



                                                                              28

     The most significant portion of the Company's total operating expenses is
interest expense. In connection with the Restructuring, the Company transferred
its SBA-guaranteed debentures and the Revolving Credit Facility to SII. The
Company continues to guarantee that indebtedness.  The Company's interest
expense, most of which is related to the SBA-guaranteed debentures of SII and
the Revolving Credit Facility, increased to $2.1 million in the third quarter
of 1996, a 75.0% increase over the $1.2 million paid in the second quarter of
1995. The Company's interest expense for the first nine months of 1996 increased
to $6.0 million, a 76.0% increase over the $3.4 million paid in the same period
of 1995.  The increase in interest expense from 1995 to 1996 is primarily
attributable to increased borrowings from the SBA and establishment of and
borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings from the SBA were
$83.3 million on September 30, 1996, and $73.3 million on September 30, 1995.
Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 1996,
were $41.8 million.

     The other significant components of total operating expenses are (i)
overhead, which primarily relates to employee compensation, travel and
marketing expenses, office expenses and legal fees, (ii) amortization of
borrowing costs and (iii) state taxes. These expenses totaled $1.4 million in
the third quarter of 1996, a 111% increase over the $665,000 of such expenses
in the same quarter of 1995.  These expenses totaled $4.0 million for the first
nine months of 1996, a 110% increase over the $1.9 million of such expenses in
the same period of 1995.  These increases can be largely attributed to the
increase in the number of employees in 1996 versus 1995 and the accrual of
bonuses in the current year as opposed to the former policy of expensing
bonuses when paid  in the first quarter of each year. The bonus accrual added
approximately $420,000 to operating expenses in the third quarter of 1996 and
$725,000 for the first nine months of 1996.

     For the quarter, Harris Williams had revenues of $2,353,000, up 176%
from 853,000 for the third quarter of 1996, and pre-tax income increased
182% to $1,151,000 from $408,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
Harris Williams had revenue of $5,000,000, up 164% from $1,896,000 for the same
period of 1995, and pre-tax income increased 136% to $1,438,000 from $609,000. 
Harris Williams provided advisory services on four transactions that closed in
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, bringing the total of transactions closed
in the first nine months of 1996 to nine. No taxes were accrued on Harris
Williams' pretax income for the third quarter of 1996 due to the timing of the
acquisition during the quarter and the timing of Harris Williams' revenue and
expenses.  No taxes were accrued in 1995, as Harris Williams was a partnership
at that time.

     During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company paid dividends of
$3.0 million from net operating income. The Company paid dividends of $2.0
million in the third quarter of 1995.

     Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments. The Company's net realized gain on
investments was $7,206,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996,
and $1,250,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The $1,250,000 gain
resulted from a gain of $1,500,000 on the sale of half its warrant position in
Hoveround Corporation offset by a loss of $250,000 on the sale of collateral
securing a loan to Alpha West Partners I, L.P.  The net realized gain for the
third quarter of 1995 was $434,000, primarily resulting from $1,319,000 in gains
on the sale of equity positions in Termnet Merchant Services, Inc., One Stop
Record House and PMT Services, Inc., which were largely offset by a realized
loss of $885,000 on a loan to Quality Care Networks.  Management does not
attempt to maintain a comparable level of realized gains from year to year, but
instead attempts to maximize total investment portfolio appreciation.

     Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments. For the
quarters ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, the Company recorded net increase
in unrealized depreciation of investments of $1.7 million and net increase in
unrealized appreciation of $1.8 million, respectively. For the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, the Company recorded net increases
in unrealized appreciation of investments of $2.8 million and $4.1 million,
respectively.  These increases are the result of the Company's quarterly
revaluation of its portfolio in accordance with its Valuation Policy to reflect
the fair value of each of its portfolio assets.

                                                                            29

     Provision for Income Taxes. Beginning in February 1995, the Company
elected to be taxed as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and in August 1996, SII elected the
same tax treatment. If the Company and SII, each as a RIC, satisfy certain
requirements relating to the source of its income, the diversification of its
assets and the distribution of its net income, each is generally taxed as a
pass through entity which acts as a partial conduit of income to its
shareholders. In order to maintain its RIC status, each entity must in general
derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest and gains from
the sale or disposition of securities; derive less than 30% of its gross income
from the sale or disposition of securities held for less than three months;
meet investment diversification requirements defined by the Code; and
distribute to shareholders at least 90% of its net income (other than long-term
capital gains). The Company and SII presently intend to meet the RIC
qualifications in future years, and therefore, the Company has not provided for
federal income taxes on the unrealized appreciation of investments. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company and SII will continue to elect such
treatment.

     For the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the
Statements of Operations include a provision for taxes totaling $525,000 and
$2,765,000, respectively, for federal income tax at a 35% rate on realized gains
not distributed to shareholders. The $525,000 tax is payable on the retained 
long-term capital gain


                                                                             30

<PAGE>   31

of $1,500,000 on the Company's sale of half of its warrant position in
Hoveround Corporation.  The Company also accrued $35,000 for state income taxes
during the quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had $20.8 million in cash and cash
equivalents, and approximately $10.4 million of the Company's investment
portfolio consisted of publicly-traded securities, which have an ascertainable
market value and represent an additional source of liquidity. However, the
Company's ability to realize such values on a short-term basis is limited by
market conditions and various securities law restrictions. See "Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

     The Company's principal sources of capital to fund its portfolio growth
have been borrowings through the SBA sponsored SBIC debenture program, sales of
the Company's equity securities, both privately and publicly, and funds
borrowed from banking institutions. In February 1995, the Company consummated
an initial public offering of 2,645,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in net
proceeds of $26.5 million. In August 1995, the Company consummated a second
public offering of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock generating net proceeds to
the Company of approximately $21.2 million. In June 1996, the Company
consummated a third public offering of 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock
generating net proceeds of $59.2 million. The Company used the proceeds of the
first two offerings to originate new loans, and the Company has used and will
use the proceeds of the most recent offering to originate new loans.

     During the third quarter of 1996, SII received no additional funding from
the SBA, leaving total SBA borrowings at $83.3 million at September 30, 1996.
Each borrowing from the SBA has a term of ten years, is secured by the assets
of SII, is guaranteed by the Company and can be prepaid without penalty after
five years. The average interest rate on these borrowings was 7.02% as of
September 30, 1996, and none of these borrowings mature prior to 2002.  Based
on SII's leverageable capital, it is eligible to borrow up to a total of $90.0
million from the SBA, the maximum amount of SBA loans available to an SBIC. SII
intends to request the remaining $6.7 million of SBA funding available to it
during November 1996. Given the increased demand for borrowings under the SBA
sponsored SBIC debenture program, no assurances can be given as to the amount
of additional SBA borrowing that will be granted to SII.

     As of September 30, 1996, SII had $41.8 million outstanding under its $50
million Revolving Credit Facility, which is secured by all of SII's assets and
is guaranteed by the Company. The interest rate on these borrowings was 7.50%
at September 30, 1996. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 27,
1998. The Revolving Credit Facility requires that SII obtain the lenders'
consent prior to, among other things, encumbering its assets, merging or
consolidating with another entity and making investments other than those
permitted by the SBA. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility provides that
the repayment of any amounts outstanding can be accelerated if either George M.
Miller, II or David M. Resha ceases to be employed by the Company. The Company
did not use the net proceeds of the public offering of its Common Stock
consummated in June 1996 to repay the amounts owing under the Revolving Credit
Facility due to tax considerations related to the Company's pending
Restructuring. The Company has negotiated a temporary reduction in the interest
rate paid on the Revolving Credit Facility to the extent the debt outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by cash remaining from the June
1996 public offering.

     In order to manage the interest rate risk associated with the variable
interest rate provided for under the Revolving Credit Facility, SII has entered
into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the variable
rate on a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility to fixed rates of 8.15% and
8.05% per annum on borrowings of $30.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively.
Under this agreement, SII will convert the $30.0 million in $3.0 million per
month increments beginning in April 1996 and will convert the $15.0 million in
$5.0 million per month increments beginning in December 1996.

     The Company has signed a commitment letter with ING Capital Markets, Inc.
("ING") to establish a credit facility (the "ING Credit Facility") in the
amount of $100.0 million. Under the ING Credit Facility, it is anticipated that
the Company would form a special purpose, bankruptcy remote subsidiary
("Newco"), that would buy new loans originated by the

                                                                             31
<PAGE>   32

Company and the related warrants and use the loans and warrants purchased as
collateral to secure the issuance of commercial paper by ING. Newco would pay a
spread to ING over the rate paid on the commercial paper issued, along with
other fees to originate and administer the ING Credit Facility. It is
anticipated that Newco would enter into appropriate swap agreements to attempt
to hedge the interest rate risk inherent in the maturing and reissuing of
commercial paper at market rates. Based on current commercial paper rates, the
total cost of the debt is anticipated to be approximately 8.50% to 8.75%. The
ING Credit Facility will require Newco to be capitalized with a minimum of
$20.0 million in equity, so it is anticipated that some or all of the new loans
originated from the proceeds of the public offering of Common Stock consummated
in June 1996 will be contributed as equity to Newco. Definitive documentation
with respect to the ING Credit Facility is being finalized. The Company has
filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), requesting exemptive relief from certain provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 relating to the establishment of this facility.
The Company presently anticipates receiving an exemptive order from the
Commission by year end, at which time it plans to close on the ING Credit
Facility. No assurances can be given that an order will be granted by the
Commission within such period of time. In the interim, the Company has obtained
a term sheet from ING to establish a $15.0 million bridge loan (the "Bridge
Loan") that will be secured by loans originated by the Company.  The Company
presently intends to repay the Bridge Loan with funds drawn down under the ING
Credit Facility.

     The Company believes that anticipated borrowings from the SBA and under
the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and Bridge Loan, together with cash on
hand and cash flow from operations (after distributions to shareholders), will
be adequate to fund the continuing growth of the Company's investment portfolio
through early 1997 and through the second half of 1997 if the ING Credit
Facility is obtained. In order to provide the funds necessary for the Company
to continue its growth strategy beyond that period, the Company expects to
incur, from time to time, additional short and long-term borrowings from other
sources, and to issue, in public or private transactions, its equity and debt
securities. The availability and terms of any such borrowings will depend upon
interest rate, market and other conditions. There can be no assurances that
such additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     The Company does not believe that its business is materially affected by
inflation, other than the impact which inflation may have on the securities
markets, the valuations of business enterprises and the relationship of such
valuations to underlying earnings, all of which will influence the value of the
Company's investments.

RISKS

     The significant risks inherent in the Company's business, which primarily
consists of making loans to small businesses, are set forth in part in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report and should be kept in mind when evaluating the
Company's financial performance.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

     During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company made loans to 35
companies totaling approximately $42.0 million and experienced eleven
repayments (either partial or full) aggregating $6.1 million. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company made loans to 23 companies
totaling approximately $31.0 million and experienced 6 repayments (either
partial or full) aggregating approximately $3.9 million. The Company can not
control all changes in its portfolio of investments, as borrowers have the
right to prepay loans made by the Company without penalty and the first loans
made by the Company begin maturing in May 1997.

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT


     This Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty") is made and entered into as of
the _____ day of August, 1996, by and between Sirrom Capital Corporation, a
Tennessee corporation (the "Guarantor"), and the U. S. Small Business
Administration (the "SBA").

                              STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

     WHEREAS, Sirrom Investments, Inc. (the "Borrower") is licensed by the SBA
as a small business investment company pursuant to the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the "Act") and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Regulations");

     WHEREAS, the SBA has previously guaranteed certain debentures (the
"Existing Debentures") issued pursuant to the Act and the Regulations by the
Guarantor, who, pursuant to a corporate reorganization, assigned those
debentures and other liabilities and a majority of its assets to Borrower (the
"Restructuring"); and

     WHEREAS, as a condition to approving the Restructuring and as an
inducement therefor, the SBA has required the Guarantor to guarantee the
obligations of the Borrower to the SBA;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants and
promises herein contained, other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, parties
do hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1.  Definitions.  Terms otherwise not defined herein shall have
the meaning assigned to them in that certain Amended and Restated Security
Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and the SBA.  "Loan
Documents" shall mean the Existing Debentures, any SBA guaranteed debentures
issued by Borrower after the date hereof, the Amended and Restated Security
Agreement, the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement, the Amended and Restated
Agreement for Bailment Collateral and Remittance of Funds, and any other
document hereafter evidencing or securing the Obligations.

     Section 2.  Guaranty of Obligations.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally
guarantees to the SBA, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns,
the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations of the Borrower, whether
primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or otherwise), whether now
existing or hereafter arising, whether or not from time to time reduced or
extinguished (except by payment thereof) or hereafter increased or incurred,
whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by the statute of
limitations, whether enforceable or unenforceable as against the Borrower,
whether or not discharged, stayed or otherwise affected by any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law or proceeding, whether created directly with
the SBA or acquired by the SBA through assignment, endorsement or otherwise,
whether matured or unmatured, whether joint or several, as and when the same
become due and payable (whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of
acceleration, mandatory repayment or otherwise), in accordance with the terms
of any such instruments evidencing any such

<PAGE>   2

obligations, including all renewals, extensions or modifications thereof (all
Obligations of the Borrower to the SBA, including all of the foregoing, being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations").

     Section 3.  Nature of Guaranty.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty
is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of
collection, and that is obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary,
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by (a) the
genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of,
or change in, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
document or instrument to which the Borrower is or may become a party, (b) the
absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or
the waiver or consent by the SBA with respect to any of the provisions of this
Guaranty, or any other Loan Document, (c) the existence, value or condition of,
or failure to perfect its lien against, any security for or other guaranty of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the
SBA in respect of such security or guaranty (including, without limitation, the
release of any such security or guaranty) or (d) any other action or
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
or defense of a surety or guarantor; it being agreed by the Guarantor that its
obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged until the final payment
and performance, in full, of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantor
expressly waives all rights it may now or in the future have under any statute
or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the SBA to proceed in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Borrower or any other party or
against any security for or other guaranty of the payment and performance of
the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to
proceeding against, the Guarantor.  The Guarantor further expressly waives and
agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon the failure of
the SBA to commence an action in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against
the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other party or any security for the payment
and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantor agrees that any
notice or directive given at any time by Borrower or Guarantor to the SBA which
is inconsistent with the waivers in the preceding two sentences shall be null
and void and may be ignored by the SBA, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or
introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the
reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written
terms of this Guaranty, unless the SBA has specifically agreed otherwise in
writing.  The foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction
contemplated by the Loan Documents.

     Section 4.  Demand by the SBA.  In addition to the terms set forth in
Section 2, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, if all or
any portion of the then outstanding Guaranteed Obligations are declared to be
immediately due and payable, then the Guarantor shall, upon demand in writing
therefor by the SBA to the Guarantor, pay all or such portion of the
outstanding Guaranteed Obligations then declared due and payable.  Payment by
the Guarantor shall be made to the SBA, to be credited and applied upon the
Guaranteed Obligations, in immediately available funds in dollars to an account
designated by the SBA or at the SBA's office or at any other address that may
be specified in writing from time to time by the SBA.

                                      2

     Section 5.  Waivers.  In addition to the waivers contained in Section 3,
the Guarantor waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or redemption laws,
or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay,
prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations
under, or the enforcement by the SBA of, this Guaranty.  The Guarantor further
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of whatever
kind or nature with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and waives the
benefit of all provisions of law which are or might by in conflict with the
terms of this Guaranty.  The Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that its
obligations under this Guaranty are not and shall not be subject to any
counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind against the SBA or the Borrower
whether now existing or which may arise in the future.

     Section 6.  Modification of Loan Documents etc.  If the SBA shall at any
time or from time to time, with or without the consent of, or notice to, the
Guarantor (a) change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or
renew or alter all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) take any
action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy,
power or privilege contained therein or available to it at law, in equity or
otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such remedies, powers or
privileges, (c) amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Loan Documents,
(d) extend or waive the time for performance by the Guarantor, the Borrower or
any other person of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its
part to be performed or observed under a Loan Document (other than this
Guaranty), or waive such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of,
or departure from, such performance or compliance, (e) take and hold security
or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or sell, exchange,
release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any property pledged, mortgaged or
conveyed, or in which the SBA has been granted a lien, to secure any debt of
