                  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
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. In addition to making loans to small businesses, the
Company 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 March 31, 1996 and 1997 and the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for each of the quarters ended March 31,
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 revolving credit facility. SFC has also
elected to be taxed as a RIC.

2. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Certain notes and other information have been omitted from the interim
consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on 
Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 March 31, 1997, the investment portfolio included
investments totaling $275,337,296 and $323,071,009, 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
directors, are included as changes in the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of investments in the statement of operations.

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 directors or by current market prices, if
available, in accordance the Company's valuation policy (See Note 3). While the
Company markets to borrowers throughout the United States, approximately 50.5%
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 $16,016,170 at December 31, 1996 and March 31,
1997, respectively. The aggregate fair values of these loans as determined by 
the Company's directors totaled $8,683,178 and $8,031,170 at December 31, 1996 
and March 31, 1997, respectively.
 
     Included in the investment portfolio at March 31, 1997 are other assets
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 assets at March 31, 1997 is $5,194,764 which represents the cost basis
of the original loans plus capitalized workout expenses. The Company's directors
have estimated the fair value of these assets to be $3,594,764.
 
5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES AND INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company modified swap
agreements previously entered under the $100.0 million revolving credit
facility. The Company has now exchanged the variable rates in incremental
amounts of $12.5 million per month beginning in July 1997, reaching a total
notional amount of $100.0 million in February 1998. The Company terminated the
previously secured caps and floors through December 1997 and secured a new cap
that caps the Company's annual rate at 8.25% through December 1997.
 
6. INCOME TAXES
 
     For the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 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. These tax provisions for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and
1997 were $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, the Company also provided for taxes of $72,000 on Harris
Williams' pre-tax income.

7. 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.

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 also
typically 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 taxes owed on retained capital gains and taxes on the
pretax income of Harris Williams.

     Net Operating Income. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the
Company earned interest on investments of $8.0 million, a 63.3% increase over
the $4.9 million earned in the same quarter of 1996. In addition to interest on
investments, the Company also collects an up-front processing fee for each loan
it originates. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company collected $1.7
million in processing fees, an 84.6% increase over the $921,000
collected in the first quarter 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 $270.2 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of 61.9%
over the $166.9 million loan portfolio balance at March 31, 1996. The
$67.2 million of loans originated during the first quarter of 1997 was a 106.8%
increase over the $32.5 million of loans originated during the first quarter of
1996. Of the loans originated this quarter, $14.8 million were made to public
companies with a market capitalization of less than $100.0, through the
Company's newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary Tandem Capital, Inc. In
addition, the weighted average interest rate charged on the loan portfolio at
March 31, 1997 was 13.2%, as compared to 12.9% at March 31, 1996. The Company
also earned income from miscellaneous sources in an amount equal to $18,000 for
the first quarter of 1997, primarily from interest received on loans to
employees made in connection with purchases of common stock of the Company.

     The Company's interest expense increased to $2.1 million in the first
quarter of 1997, a 16.7% increase over the $1.8 million paid in the first
quarter of 1996. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to
increased borrowings from the SBA and under the Company's revolving credit
facilities for the period prior to the consummation of the Company's fourth
public offering of stock at which time certain debt was repaid. The Company's 
total borrowings were $90 million on March 31, 1997 and $108.2 million on 
March 31, 1996.

     Overhead and amortization of borrowing costs totaled $1.6
million in the first quarter of 1997, a 14.3% increase over the $1.4 million of
such expenses in the first quarter of 1996. These increases can be largely
attributed to the increase in the number of employees to 26 in March 1997
from 16 in March 1996. Although the dollar amount of these expenses increased
between the periods, annualized overhead expenses as a percentage of average
assets decreased to 1.7% for the first quarter of 1997 from 2.5% for the first
quarter 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 current accrual of bonuses.

     During the first quarter of 1997, Harris Williams had revenues of $916,000,
a decrease from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1996. During the first
quarter of 1997, Harris Williams had pretax income of $241,000, a decrease from
$795,000 in pretax income in the first quarter 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 the
first quarter of 1997, two transactions with respect to which Harris Williams
was providing advisory services were rescheduled to close in the second quarter
of 1997 rather than the first quarter. Income taxes of $72,000 were accrued on
Harris Williams' pretax income during the first quarter of 1997. No taxes were
accrued on Harris Williams' pretax income in the first quarter of 1996, as
Harris Williams was a partnership at that time.

     Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments. The Company's net realized gain on
investments was $4.5 million during the first quarter of 1997 and $5.8 million 
during the first quarter of 1996.

     The following table sets forth the details of realized gains and losses 
that occurred during the first quarter of 1997 and 1996.

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
quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded net increases in
unrealized depreciation of investments of $4.5 million and a net increase in
unrealized appreciation of $2.2 million. These changes 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.

     The following table set forth information regarding significant changes in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of assets in the Company's portfolio made

     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 which 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 first quarter of 1997, the Company paid dividends of $4.4
million compared to the $2.4 million paid in the first quarter of 1996. Of
these dividends, $4.4 million and $2.4 million were derived from net
operating income for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
$0 and $0 were derived from realized long-term capital gains for the
first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     For the quarters ended March 31, 1997, and 1996, the Statements of
Operations include a provision for state income taxes on interest totaling
$0 and $0, respectively. For the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, the Company also provided for federal income tax at a 35% rate and excise
tax at a 4% rate on taxable net investment income and realized gains not
distributed to shareholders. These tax provisions totaled $2.2 million and $2.1
million for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1997, the Company had $34.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents. At March 31, 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 $9.8 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 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. In February 1997, the
Company consummated a fourth public offering of 3,146,286 shares of Common Stock
generating net proceeds of $109.9 million. The Company has used the proceeds of
these offerings to temporarily repay debt and to originate new loans.

     At March 31, 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 March 31, 1997, and none of these borrowings
mature prior to 2002.

     As of March 31, 1997, SII had no amounts 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
all of SII's assets and by a pledge by the Company to the lenders under the
Revolving Credit Facility of SII's stock and which is also guaranteed by the
Company. 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 will purchase loans originated
by the Company and the related warrants and use 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 loans will
serve as initial collateral for the ING Credit Facility. At March 31, 1997, no
amounts were outstanding under 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 thereunder 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 the $109.9 million raised in the February 1997
public offering, anticipated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and
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



                                       32

<PAGE>   33



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 1995 Annual Report and should be kept in mind when evaluating the
Company's financial performance.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER AND CREDIT QUALITY

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company made loans to 50
companies totaling approximately $67.2 million and experienced 10 repayments
(either partial or full) aggregating $13.6 million. During the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, the Company made loans to 28 companies totaling approximately
$32.5 million and experienced 5 repayments (either partial or full) aggregating
approximately $4.8 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.

     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 loan and other
factors considered relevant. 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 area.
Loans with a grade 5 may be in default, and interest is probably 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 fully expects to charge off some part of the loan. At March 31, 1997 and
1996, the Company had loans to 13 companies with an aggregate principal balance
of $16.1 million, and 7 companies with an aggregate principal balance of $11.3
million, respectively, that were graded a 5 or 6 and that were not accruing
interest. 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.
