                   SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

         Sirrom Capital Corporation (the "Company"), a Tennessee corporation,
was formed in November 1994. 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 specialty finance company
that is primarily engaged in making loans to small businesses. 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 the
appreciation of equity interests primarily in small, privately owned companies.
The Company generally 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. In addition to making loans to small
businesses, the Company makes investments in public companies with a market
capitalization of less than $100.0 million that are marketed under the name
Tandem Capital ("Tandem") and  provides merger and acquisition advisory services
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harris Williams & Co., ("Harris Williams").

         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, as amended (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,
and the majority of its assets and liabilities, to its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Sirrom Investments Inc. ("SII"), a Tennessee corporation. Under applicable SBA
regulations, SII is restricted to investing only in qualified small business
concerns in the manner contemplated by the 1958 Act. Additionally, beginning in
February 1995, the Company elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company
("RIC") 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 the ownership interests of Harris
Williams & Co., L.P. for 898,454 shares of common stock of the Company. After
the acquisition, Harris Williams began operating as a "C" corporation. The
acquisition of Harris Williams is accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997 and
the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the
quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 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.

         In December 1996, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sirrom
Funding Corporation ("SFC") to purchase loans originated by the Company and the
related warrants. These loans and warrants will be used as collateral to secure
borrowings under the Company's $100.0 million revolving credit facility. SFC has
also elected to be taxed as a RIC.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

         Equity interests and warrants for which there is not a public market
are valued based on factors such as significant equity financing by
sophisticated, unrelated new 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.

         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 and 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.

         At December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, the investment portfolio
included investments totaling $262,605,775 and $414,445,302, respectively, 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
differences could be material.

Realized and Unrealized Gain or Loss on Investments

         Realized gains 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. Realized losses are
recorded upon the final disposition of the cost basis of investments according
to federal income tax guidelines and are calculated in the same manner. All
other changes in the valuation of portfolio investments, as determined by the
Board of Directors, are included as changes in the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of investments in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

         The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge interest costs on its
floating rate revolving credit facilities. Any amounts paid or received on
interest rate swap agreements are recognized as an adjustment to interest
expense. Gains and losses on terminated swaps are recognized over the remaining
life of the underlying obligation as an adjustment to investment income or
interest expense. The fair value of the swap agreements are not recognized in
the consolidated financial statements as they are accounted for as hedges.

         The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes.

4. INVESTMENTS

         Investments consist primarily of loans made to and warrants obtained
from borrowers of the Company and its SBIC subsidiary, SII. Investments are
recorded at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors or by current
market prices, if available, in accordance the Company's valuation policy (See
Note 3). While the Company


                                      7
<PAGE>   8



markets to borrowers throughout the United States, approximately 49.8% of the
investment portfolio consists of loans and equity investments in companies that
are headquartered in the southeastern United States.

         The aggregate cost basis of loans on non-accrual status, less realized
losses, totaled $15,873,178 and $20,522,670 at December 31, 1996 and September
30, 1997, respectively. The aggregate fair values of these loans as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors totaled $8,683,178 and $12,824,635 at
December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively.

         Included in the investment portfolio at September 30, 1997 are Other
Investments which consist of rights to royalty payments, a right to receive
payment from a potential arbitration settlement and certain tangible assets. The
Company obtained these rights upon foreclosure of three loans. The aggregate
cost of Other Investments at September 30, 1997 was $3,944,769 which represents
the cost basis of the original loans plus capitalized workout expenses. The
Company's Board of Directors has estimated the fair value of these investments
to be $2,294,769.

5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES 

         In October 1997, the Company's $50.0 million revolving credit facility
was increased to $125.0 million.

6. INCOME TAXES

         For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 the Company provided for
federal income tax at a 35% rate and excise taxes at a 4% rate on taxable net
investment income as defined by the Code and realized gains not distributed to
shareholders. This tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was
$560,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company changed its
policy with respect to the treatment of long term capital gains. The Company
intends to distribute substantially all of its long-term capital gains in a
special annual dividend, and as a result, will no longer provide for or pay
federal income taxes on realized gains.  Accordingly, a $4,291,000 tax benefit
resulting from this change was recognized during the quarter ended September 30,
1997 to reverse taxes previously provided for against gains realized during the
first half of 1997. Excise taxes of 4% were also provided for during the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, to the extent the Company had taxable net
investment income and undistributed gains as defined by the Code. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company also provided for taxes of
$229,000 on Harris Williams' pre-tax income.

7. STOCK OPTION PLANS

         Employee Stock Option Plans. The Company's two employee stock option
plans, the Amended and Restated 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1994
Plan"), and the 1996 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") provide for
the granting of options for 500,000 and 1,140,000 shares, respectively, of
common stock to selected employees at an exercise price not less than the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The terms of each
award are determined by the Board of Directors. The options vest over a
five-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

         A summary of stock option activity related to the plans is as follows,
and includes options that were granted subject to shareholder approval of an
increase in the number of shares available for grant:

         Directors Stock Option Plan. During 1995, the Company adopted the 1995
Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors which permits the issuance of
options to purchase the Company's stock to non-employee directors. The plan
reserves 114,000 shares of common stock for automatic grant. New directors will
receive options to purchase 6,000 upon initial election to the Company's Board
of Directors. The options' exercise price may not be less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant. No options were granted in
1995, options on 84,000 shares were granted in 1996 at $24.25 per share, and
options on 6,000 shares were granted during the second quarter of 1997 at $27
15/16 per share. No shares were exercised prior to 1997, and during the second

         Advisory services are typically provided by Harris Williams in
accordance with engagement contracts that stipulate a monthly retainer,
reimbursement of direct expenses and transaction closing fees. Retainer fees are
recognized ratably over the retainer period, expense reimbursements are
recognized monthly as billed and success fees are recognized at the time of
closing.

         Prior to the acquisition by the Company, Harris Williams operated as a
Subchapter S corporation from inception to August 1994 and as a limited
partnership subsequent to August 1994. Accordingly, no provision for income tax
was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Subsequent to the acquisition in August 1996, Harris
Williams began operating as a "C" corporation.

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

         The Company's principal investment objectives are to achieve a high
level of income from the collection of interest and processing and financial
advisory fees and long-term growth in its shareholders' equity through the
appreciation in value of equity interests in its portfolio companies. The
Company makes loans that are typically in the form of secured debt with
relatively high fixed interest rates accompanied by warrants to purchase equity
securities of the borrower. In addition to interest on investments, the Company
generally collects an up-front processing fee on each loan it originates. Harris
Williams & Co. ("Harris Williams"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
typically obtains a monthly retainer fee in each transaction for which it is
retained and, in addition, a success fee when the transaction is consummated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's financial performance in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations is composed of four primary elements. The first is "net operating
income," which is the difference between the Company's income from interest,
dividends, fees and Harris Williams' pretax 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 and their stated costs. 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 since 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. The fourth element is "provision for income taxes," which
primarily consists of excise taxes owed on undistributed net investment income
and realized gains and taxes on the pretax income of Harris Williams.

         Net Operating Income. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the
Company earned interest on investments of $11.0 million, a 72% increase over the
$6.4 million earned in the same quarter of 1996. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, interest on investments was $28.6 million, a 70% increase
over the $16.8 million earned in the same period of 1996. In addition to
interest on investments, the Company also collects an up-front processing fee
for each loan it originates. During the third quarter of 1997, the Company
earned $1.9 million in processing fees, a 138% increase over the $797,000 earned
in the third quarter of 1996. During the first nine months of 1997, the Company
earned $4.9 million in processing fees, an 104% increase over the $2.4 million
earned in the first nine months of 1996. These increases in interest income and
processing fees are a result of increases in the dollar amount of loans
outstanding and originated during the applicable periods. The Company's loan
portfolio increased to $363.0 million at September 30, 1997, an increase of 65%
over the $220.0 million loan portfolio balance at September 30, 1996. The $73.6
million of loans originated during the third quarter of 1997 was a 76% increase
over the $41.9 million of loans originated during the third quarter of 1996. The
$202.3 million of loans originated in the first nine months of 1997 was a 97%
increase over the $102.9 million of loans originated in the first nine months of
1996. The increase in the amount of loans originated in 1997 versus 1996 is the
result of an increase in the number of portfolio managers employed by the
Company and the result of originations from new lines of business.  Of the
loans originated this quarter and the first nine months, $8.5 million and
$30.3 million, respectively, were made to public companies with a market
capitalization of less than $100.0 million, through the Company's newly formed
business line, Tandem Capital. In addition, the weighted average interest rate
charged on the loan portfolio at September 30, 1997 was 13.3%, as compared to
13.1% at September 30, 1996.

         The Company's interest expense increased to $2.4 million in the third
quarter of 1997, a 14% increase from the $2.1 million paid in the third quarter
of 1996. Interest expense was $6.4 million in the first nine months of 1997, a
7% increase over the $6.0 million of such expenses in the first nine months of
1996. The modest 


                                      31
<PAGE>   32



increase in interest expense is due to increased borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facilities.

         Overhead expenses, plus amortization of borrowing costs totaled $2.4
million in the third quarter of 1997, a 71% increase over the $1.4 million of
such expenses in the third quarter of 1996 and $6.1 million in nine months of
1997, a 52% increase over the $4.0 million of such expenses in nine months of
1996. These increases can be largely attributed to the increase in the number of
employees to 41 in September 1997 from 19 in September 1996. Although the dollar
amount of these expenses increased between the periods, annualized overhead
expenses as a percentage of average assets remained fairly constant at 2.1% for
the third quarter of 1997 versus 1.8% for the third quarter of 1996 and
decreased to 2.0% for nine months of 1997 compared to 2.1% for nine months of
1996. The 1996 expenses were increased by the Company's prior practice of
expensing bonuses when paid in the first quarter. In June 1996, the Company
modified its practice to begin current accrual of bonuses.

         During the third quarter of 1997, Harris Williams had revenues of $2.0
million, a 17% decrease from $2.4 million in the third quarter of 1996. For nine
months of 1997, Harris Williams had revenues of $5.7 million, a 12% increase
over the $5.1 million for nine months of 1996. During the third quarter of 1997,
Harris Williams had pretax income of $915,000, a 17% decrease from $1.1 million
in pretax income in the third quarter of 1996 and during nine months of 1997,
had pretax income of $2.2 million, a 15% decrease over the $2.6 million for nine
months of 1996. The Company anticipates that revenues generated by Harris
Williams will vary from quarter to quarter because the amount of revenues
generated in a quarter is dependent upon the timing of the closing of
transactions and the size of the transactions. In addition, the pretax income
results for 1997 reflect a $312,000 overhead allocation that was not charged to
Harris Williams in 1996, because it had not been owned by the Company for the
first eight (8) months of 1996. Income taxes of $228,842 were accrued on Harris
Williams' pretax income during the third quarter of 1997 and $444,197 during
nine months of 1997. No taxes were accrued on Harris Williams' pretax income in
the third quarter of 1996 or nine months of 1996, as Harris Williams was a
partnership during that time.

         Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments. The Company's net realized gain on
investments was $2.2 million during the third quarter of 1997 and $9.7 million
during nine months of 1997, as compared to $1.2 million and $7.2 million for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively.

         The following table sets forth the details of realized gains and losses
that occurred during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 
September 30, 1997.

         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. If the Company, 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 is generally taxed as
a pass through entity that acts as a partial conduit of income to its
shareholders. In order to maintain its RIC status, the Company 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 90% of its net income (other than long-term capital gains). The
Company presently intends to meet the RIC qualifications in 1997. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company will continue to elect or qualify for
such treatment after 1997.

         During the third quarter of 1997, the Company paid dividends of $6.5
million compared to the $3.0 million paid in the third quarter of 1996. Of these
dividends, $6.5 million and $3.0 million were derived from net operating income
for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $0 and $0 were derived
from realized long-term capital gains for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

         The Company has adopted a new dividend policy that modifies its
treatment of long-term capital gains. The Company intends to continue to
distribute to shareholders on a quarterly basis at least 90% of its net
investment income and net short-term gains. In addition, the Company also
intends to distribute substantially all of its long-term capital gains in a
special annual dividend that it anticipates declaring each December, beginning
December 1997, and paying each January, beginning January 1998. In conjunction
with the dividend policy change, the Company intends to amend its Dividend
Reinvestment Plan to provide that reinvested dividends, including the long-term
capital gains dividend, be used to purchase new shares of common stock that will
be issued by the Company at a discount.

         For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 the Company provided for
federal income tax at a 35% rate and excise taxes at a 4% rate on taxable net
investment income, as defined by the Code, and realized gains not distributed to
shareholders. This tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was
$560,000. As a result of the modification to the Company's long-term capital
gains dividend policy discussed above, the Company recognized a $4,291,000 tax
benefit during the quarter ended September 30, 1997, resulting from the
reversal of taxes previously provided for against gains realized during the
first half of 1997.  Excise taxes of 4% were also provided for during the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, to the extent the Company had taxable net
investment income and undistributed gains as defined by the Code. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company also provided for taxes of
$229,000 on Harris Williams' pre-tax income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had $1.8 million in cash and cash
equivalents. At September 30, 1997, the Company's investment portfolio included
investments in stocks and warrants of publicly-traded companies that had an
ascertainable market value and were being carried at a fair value of
approximately $15.0 million 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.

         Traditionally, 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 its initial public offering and has completed three additional
public offerings



                                      34
<PAGE>   35



since that time which have generated net proceeds of $216.9 million in the
aggregate. The Company has used the proceeds of these offerings to temporarily
repay debt and to originate new loans.

         At September 30, 1997, total SBA borrowings were $90.0 million, the
maximum amount of SBA loans available to an SBIC. 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, 1997, and none
of these borrowings mature prior to 2002.

         As of September 30, 1997, SII had $10.9 million outstanding under its
$50.0 million revolving credit facility with First Union National Bank and a
syndicate of other banks (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which is secured by
a lien on all of SII's assets and a pledge of SII's stock and guaranteed by the
Company. On October 9, 1997, SII consummated a $75.0 million increase in its
Revolving Credit Facility, which also involved the addition of seven
additional banks to the syndicate. 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 various hedging arrangements. The
Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 31, 2000. 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.

         To support the Company's future loan origination activities outside of
SII, the Company has also established a $100.0 million five-year revolving
credit facility (the "ING Credit Facility") with Holland Limited Securitization,
Inc., a multi-seller commercial paper conduit sponsored by ING Baring (U.S.)
Capital Markets, Inc. (collectively "ING"). Sirrom Funding Corporation ("SFC"),
a wholly-owned special purpose, bankruptcy remote subsidiary of the Company, is
the borrower under the ING Credit Facility. SFC purchases loans originated by
the Company and the related warrants and uses these loans and warrants as
collateral to secure borrowings from ING. SFC is generally able to borrow up to
70% of the principal amount of conforming loans collateralizing the ING Credit
Facility. As of January 15, 1997, the Company made an initial capital
contribution to SFC of approximately $25.0 million of loans, which will
serve as initial collateral for the ING Credit Facility. At September 30, 1997,
$50.0 million was outstanding under the ING Credit Facility and $81,150,000 and
$82,243,222 of loans and warrants at cost and fair value, respectively, had
been contributed to or sold to SFC by SCC and were collateralizing the ING
Credit Facility. In order to manage interest rate risk associated with the
variable interest rate provided for under the ING Credit Facility the Company
has entered into various hedging arrangements. The ING Credit Facility matures
on December 31, 2001. The ING Credit Facility is not guaranteed by the Company.
However, certain actions by the Company can trigger an event of default under
the ING Credit Facility, which will result in termination of further funding and
the application of the collateral pledged for repayment of the amounts
outstanding thereunder. In addition, the ING Credit Facility provides that an
event of default is triggered if any two of George M. Miller, II, David M. Resha
and Carl W. Stratton are no longer employed by the Company.

         The Company believes that anticipated borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility the ING Credit Facility, together with cash on hand, loan
repayments and cash flow from operations (after distributions to shareholders),
will be adequate to fund the continuing growth of the Company's investment
portfolio through the first or second quarter of 1998. 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 Registration Statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-19493)
and should be kept in mind when evaluating the Company's financial performance.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER AND CREDIT QUALITY

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company made loans to
60 companies totaling approximately $73.6 million and experienced 17 repayments
(either partial or full) aggregating $15.7 million. During the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, the Company made loans to 35 companies totaling
approximately $42.0 million and experienced 11 repayments (either partial or
full) aggregating approximately $6.1 million. The Company cannot control all
changes in its portfolio of investments, as borrowers have the right to prepay
loans made by the Company without penalty.

         The Company has implemented a system by which it grades all loans on a
scale of 1 to 6. The system was intended to reflect the performance of the
borrower's business, as well as the collateral coverage of the loans and other
factors considered revelant.  To monitor and manage the risk in the overall
portfolio, management tracks the weighted average portfolio grade.  The weighted
average grade was 3.09 and 3.04 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company believes that weighted average grades between 2.75 and 3.25
represent the current normal range for the portfolio. 

         Loans graded 4 typically involve a borrower that is performing
marginally below expectations and the existence of short term negative trends or
negative events that have created some concern.  Loans in this category
require a proactive action plan to be executed by the borrower's management and
monitored by the responsible Company officer.  A grade 4 is typically
a temporary rating that is followed by an upgrade or downgrade within six months
as the borrower's business improves or declines.  As of September 30, 1997 and
1996, the Company's portfolio consisted of 21 and 10 loans, respectively, graded
4.  The aggregate principal balance of loans graded 4 at September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively was $49.0 million and $18.3 million, which represented 13.0%
and 7.9%, respectively, of the total portfolio balance at such dates.  Since
late 1995 when the Company redefined the loan grading system to reflect
management's additional experience in monitoring its growing portfolio, the
percentage of the principal balance of loans graded 4 to the total portfolio
balance has typically ranged between 10% and 15%, with an occasional decrease to
as low as 7%.  The Company believes the current percentage to be within the
normal range of variability and expects significant variability in the future in
the absolute dollar amount of loans graded 4 and in the ratio of loans graded 4
to the total portfolio balance.

         Loans graded 5 or 6 are placed on the Company's Credit Watch List and
are serviced by a member of the Company's workout group. Loans with a grade 5
are generally in default, and interest is generally not being accrued, but the
Company's management believes the borrower's management is capable of executing
a plan to return the borrower to an acceptable risk level. Loans with a grade 6
involve an unacceptable level of risk with substantial probability of loss.
These loans are on non-accrual and the Company has charged off or expects to
charge off some part of the loan. At September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company
had loans to 16 companies with an aggregate principal balance of $19.2 million,
and 12 companies with an aggregate principal balance of $17.1 million,
respectively, that were graded a 5 or 6 and that were not accruing interest,
which represented 5.1% and 7.3%, respectively, of the total portfolio balance.
The Company believes that the current normal range for loans graded 5 and 6 is
6% to 10% of the total portfolio balance.  Given the nature of the Company's
portfolio, the Company expects some variability in the absolute dollar amount of
loans graded 5 and 6 and in the ratio of loans graded 5 and 6 to the total
portfolio balance.
