PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF SIRROM
Sirrom Capital Corporation ("Sirrom") was incorporated in Tennessee in
November 1994 and is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has
elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act.
Sirrom's principal executive offices are located at 500 Church Street, Suite
200, Nashville, Tennessee 37219, and its telephone number is (615) 256-0701.
Sirrom's predecessor was organized in 1991. In August 1996, Sirrom transferred
its small business investment company ("SBIC") operations under the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, including its SBIC license, assets
and liabilities to Sirrom Investments, Inc. ("SII"), its wholly-owned
subsidiary. In December 1996, Sirrom formed Sirrom Funding Corporation ("SFC"),
a special purpose, bankruptcy remote subsidiary, as the borrower under its $200
million five year revolving credit facility with ING Baring (U.S.) Capital
Markets, Inc.
BUSINESS
Sirrom is a specialty finance company that primarily makes loans to
small businesses. Sirrom believes the market for small commercial loans is
underserved by traditional lending sources and that competitors generally are
burdened with an overhead and administrative structure that keeps them from
effectively competing in this market. At December 31, 1998, Sirrom had loans
outstanding with a fair value of $477.1 million to 233 companies in a variety of
industries located in 34 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada. The average rate
of interest on these loans was 13.25%. The fair values of Sirrom's loan
portfolio at December 31, 1996 and 1997 were $221.5 million and $412.0 million,
respectively. Sirrom's strategic objective is to provide financial and other
services to small and medium sized growth businesses. Sirrom traditionally has
focused and will continue to focus on making loans with equity features to
borrowers that Sirrom believes have the following characteristics: the potential
for growth and a viable exit strategy, experienced management with their net
worth at stake, a favorable industry outlook, adequate liquidity or
sophisticated outside equity investors, sufficient enterprise value and
profitable operations. To develop new lending opportunities, Sirrom markets to a
large referral network comprised of venture capitalists, investment bankers,
attorneys, accountants, other debt providers and business brokers.
Generally, Sirrom's investments are structured as loans that initially
range from $500,000 to $5.0 million in size. These loans are accompanied by
warrants to acquire equity securities of the borrower. The warrants usually have
a nominal exercise price, for example, $.01 per share. Typically, the borrowers
secure the loan with substantially all their assets. The loans also are
generally senior to the investments of sophisticated equity investors in the
borrowers. The personal guaranty of the borrower's major shareholder or other
collateral support may also be required. The debt securities issued to evidence
Sirrom's loans usually have a fixed interest rate and a five year maturity. In
most cases, the loans are structured to require the payment of interest only on
a monthly basis, with a single payment of principal at maturity. Sirrom
typically charges borrowers a processing fee of approximately 2.0% to 3.0% of
the amount of each loan. Unlike most lenders, Sirrom does not impose prepayment
penalties on borrowers that repay loans before maturity. Instead, Sirrom's
warrants typically contain a "ratchet" provision that increases Sirrom's equity
position by one to three percentage points per year until all of the loan is
repaid. Although Sirrom's loans provide for a five-year maturity, the warrant
"ratchet" may encourage borrowers to repay loans as soon as possible. Sirrom
benefits from the repayments because of the direct relationship that exists
between Sirrom's ability to generate asset turnover (i.e., redeployment of
capital) and return on equity to shareholders.
2
<PAGE> 3
To complement its United States operations, Sirrom entered into a joint
venture agreement to make secured loans with warrants to small private companies
located in Canada with The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD"). Sirrom has committed to
make up to $100 million Canadian dollars of loans to Canadian companies, and TD
has committed to make $150 million Canadian dollars of loans. The parties have
created a Canadian corporation, SCC Canada Inc. ("SCC Canada"), 60% of which is
owned by TD and 40% of which is owned by Sirrom. SCC Canada, located in Toronto,
Canada, serves as the originator and servicer of loans. In its capacity as
originator, SCC Canada identifies potential loan investments and collects a
processing fee when the loan is funded. SCC Canada also services each loan and
collects a servicing fee from TD and Sirrom. SCC Canada does not have the
ability to contractually bind Sirrom or TD and does not fund the loans with its
own capital. The loans themselves are funded directly to the borrowers from TD
and Sirrom, and Sirrom and TD individually approve their respective loans to
each borrower identified by SCC Canada. SCC Canada targets borrowers that have
characteristics similar to Sirrom's U.S. borrowers.
Until October 1998, Sirrom also made debt and preferred stock
investments in public companies under the name Tandem Capital. The target market
for these investments was micro-cap companies with revenues typically ranging
from $20 million to $100 million. The typical investment ranged from $3 million
to $10 million and was structured to provide a current yield, as well as an
equity component, for example, a loan with warrants, convertible debt, or
convertible preferred stock. The typical investment also was not secured by
collateral and subordinate to existing lenders. Sirrom marketed this product in
part through its existing referral network under the name Tandem Capital,
although the investments were funded by Sirrom. Sirrom did not leverage Tandem's
investments because the relative youth of the portfolio and lack of
diversification made it difficult to obtain debt financing on acceptable terms.
Given the capital constraints experienced by Sirrom at the end of the third
quarter of 1998 and its inability to leverage these assets, in October 1998
Sirrom discontinued further Tandem Capital originations.
In August 1996, Sirrom acquired Harris Williams. Harris Williams is a
merger and acquisition advisory firm that currently focuses exclusively on
providing advisory services to small and medium sized companies throughout the
United States that are similar in size to Sirrom's portfolio companies. Harris
Williams' clients have included divisions of large companies, portfolio
companies of professional investor groups, and privately owned businesses. The
typical Harris Williams engagement includes a monthly retainer and a success fee
paid only if the transaction closes. The firm has consistently grown since
inception with pre-tax income increasing from $207,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993 to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
number of professionals has also increased from two to 30 at the present time.
MERGER OF SIRROM
On January 6, 1999, Sirrom entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of January 6, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among The
FINOVA Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FINOVA"), FINOVA Newco Inc., a
Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of FINOVA ("Merger
Sub"), and Sirrom. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirrom (the "Merger'),
with Sirrom continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger,
Sirrom will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of FINOVA. At the Effective Time
(as defined in the Merger Agreement), each issued and outstanding share of
common stock of Sirrom (the "Common Stock"), will be converted into the right to
receive .1634 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of common stock of FINOVA. If the
Effective Time of the Merger is after June 1, 1999, the Exchange Ratio would
increase by .0005 shares. In addition, if Sirrom has entered into a binding
agreement for the settlement of securities class action litigation, the cost of
which to Sirrom is less than $10,000,000, the Exchange Ratio would also
increase, as specified
3
<PAGE> 4
in the Merger Agreement. Sirrom has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement
if the average closing price of FINOVA Common Stock for the ten days ending
approximately five days before the Effective Time is below $40.6875 and the
decline in average closing price exceeds by more than 10% the percentage decline
in the Standard & Poor's Financial Index.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each director
of Sirrom and Sirrom Partners, L.P. (the "Shareholders") entered into a Voting
Agreement with FINOVA, dated as of January 6, 1999, (the "Voting Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Shareholders agreed to vote their shares of Sirrom Common
Stock for the approval of the Merger Agreement and all other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is also subject to certain other conditions, including
termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and approval by Sirrom's shareholders.
SELECTION OF LOAN AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Since inception, Sirrom has identified common characteristics of
borrowers that it believes will create a strong small business portfolio. During
the second half of 1998, Sirrom redefined its operating model and its
underwriting criteria in an effort to strengthen its portfolio. Although the
criteria listed below may not be applied in every instance and their importance
may vary depending on the relevant circumstances, these criteria generally are
applied in Sirrom's investment decisions.
Viable Exit Strategy With Adequate Internal Rate of Return
Before making an investment, Sirrom analyzes the potential for the
borrower to repay its loan and experience a liquidity event that would allow
Sirrom to realize a gain on its equity position. Liquidity events include:
- an initial public offering;
- a sale of the borrower;
- a repurchase by the borrower of Sirrom's equity position from cash
flow; or
- a refinancing by a bank or asset-based lender.
Sirrom typically targets at least a 20% internal rate of return on its
investments. Sirrom seeks to achieve this rate of return through a combination
of interest, processing fees and a return on the warrants.
Professional Management With Net Worth at Stake
Sirrom seeks to identify potential borrowers with experienced
management teams that have a significant ownership interest in the borrower.
These management teams should include a chief executive officer and chief
financial officer who Sirrom believes demonstrate the ability to accomplish the
objectives set forth in the borrower's business plan.
Favorable Industry Outlook
Sirrom focuses on companies in industries which it believes have a
favorable outlook and a relatively high degree of resistance to economic
downturns.
4
<PAGE> 5
Adequate Liquidity or Sophisticated Equity Investors
Sirrom seeks to invest in companies with sufficient liquidity for the
foreseeable future. In the absence of that, Sirrom requires sophisticated equity
investors whose equity positions are subordinate to the debt securities of
Sirrom. Sirrom believes these investors allow Sirrom to maximize its resources
because they enhance Sirrom's due diligence process and the borrower's financial
sophistication, and typically provide increased controls and a source of
potential additional follow-on capital. The interest and support of
sophisticated equity investors tends to increase Sirrom's confidence in the
borrower, its management team and the potential long-term value of the
borrower's business.
Sufficient Value to Cover Loan
The liquidation value of the borrower, as well as assets securing the
loans, are also typically important components in Sirrom's credit decision.
Valuations include:
- hard assets, like accounts receivable, inventory and property,
plant and equipment;
- intangibles, like customer lists, networks, databases and recurring
revenue streams; and
- enterprise value.
Profitable Operations
Sirrom focuses on portfolio companies with positive earnings from
operations before interest, depreciation and amortization. Sirrom does not
typically lend to start-up companies.
LOAN REPAYMENT; VALUATION AND REALIZATION OF EQUITY INVESTMENTS
When making investments in small businesses, Sirrom intends for the
loans to be repaid within five years and the equity portion of the investments
to be liquidated for cash within five to ten years. If an investment is
successful, the loan has been repaid with interest, and Sirrom may be able to
realize a gain on the corresponding equity security. Although Sirrom expects to
dispose of an equity investment after a certain time, it may hold equity
securities for a longer period. From Sirrom's inception through December 31,
1998, $901.0 million of loans have been originated and $220.2 million, or 24.4%
have been repaid.
Each loan Sirrom makes generally has a related five-year warrant to buy
some of the borrower's common stock. These warrants are exercisable at a nominal
price, usually $.01 per share, and typically represent 3% to 15% of a borrower's
common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. The warrants are generally
structured to provide both registration rights that entitle Sirrom to sell the
borrower's equity securities in a public offering, and a put option that
requires the borrower to repurchase the warrant after five years at the fair
market value of the shares issuable. As of December 31, 1998, Sirrom had stock
positions in 11 publicly traded companies that had a market value of $3.8
million on that date. Under Sirrom's valuation policy, these securities were
carried at a fair value of $3.4 million at December 31, 1998. In addition, at
that date, Sirrom owned common stock and preferred stock investments in 22
non-public companies and owned non-traded equity interests in 7 public companies
with a fair value of $39.8 million. Sirrom has also converted many equity
positions to cash since inception with gains approximating $64.7 million. At
December 31, 1998, Sirrom held warrant positions in 23 public companies that it
carried on its books at a fair value of $4.4 million and warrants in
approximately 220 private companies that it carried at a fair value of $35.2
million. The fair value of Sirrom's loans and investments is determined in good
faith by the Sirrom board under
5
<PAGE> 6
Sirrom's valuation policy. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
DELINQUENCY AND COLLECTIONS
When a borrower fails to make a required payment by the tenth of the month,
Sirrom's Treasurer notifies the borrower by telephone and discusses with the
borrower the expected timing of the payment. If the payment is delinquent more
than 30 days, the Chief Operating Officer and responsible portfolio manager
jointly determine an appropriate course of action on the account, which could
include transferring responsibility for the loan to Sirrom's workout area. When
a loan reaches 60 days past due, Sirrom normally stops accruing interest. All
loans over 60 days past due become the responsibility of Sirrom's workout group.
Management determines the most appropriate approach under the circumstances for
protecting its interest in a defaulted loan, which may involve, among other
things, the sale of the borrower or foreclosure proceedings.
At December 31, 1998, Sirrom had loans to 31 companies with an aggregate
principal balance of $69.2 million that were graded a 5 or 6 and that were not
accruing interest. Based on the particular circumstances involved, the Sirrom
board estimated the aggregate fair value of these loans to be $18.9 million.
Therefore, Sirrom provided for unrealized depreciation from original cost of
$49.3 million on these loans after accounting for the original issue discount on
these loans of $1.1 million.
TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
If any of Sirrom's cash is not invested in the types of securities
described above, Sirrom will invest in one or a combination of the following:
- federal government or agency issued or guaranteed securities that
mature in 15 months or less;
- repurchase agreements with banks whose deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), an "insured bank,"
with maturities of seven days or less, the underlying instruments of
which are securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government;
- certificates of deposit in an insured bank with maturities of one year
or less, up to the amount of the deposit insurance;
- deposit accounts in an insured bank subject to related withdrawal
restrictions of one year or less, up to the amount of deposit
insurance;
- certificates of deposit or deposit accounts in an insured bank in
amounts in excess of the insured amount if the insured bank is deemed
"well-capitalized" by the FDIC; and
- high quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time
of investment in the high quality debt securities.
OPERATIONS
Background
In October 1998, Sirrom implemented its redefined operating model to
increase the human resources allocated to each investment and separate the
origination function from the credit function. Under the revised model,
newly-titled "investment managers" focus primarily on origination, while
portfolio managers focus primarily on underwriting and monitoring of the
portfolio. Investment managers report to a Regional Manager, while portfolio
managers report to the Senior Portfolio Manager. Two Regional Managers and the
Senior Portfolio Manager
6
<PAGE> 7
report to the Chief Operating Officer. Prior to October 1998, a portfolio
manager was responsible for the origination, underwriting, business due
diligence, closing and servicing of an investment. All portfolio managers
reported to a Regional Manager who, in turn, reported to the Chief Operating
Officer. Credit decisions were made within that single reporting line and,
depending on the size or nature of the investment, the Loan Approval Committee
or Special Investment Committee.
Marketing
Sirrom is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, from which 14 of its 19
investment managers and portfolio managers operate. Sirrom also has a West Coast
office located in San Francisco, California, from which 5 of its investment
managers and portfolio managers operate.
To originate loans, the investment managers use an extensive referral
network of investment bankers, venture capitalists, attorneys, accountants,
other debt providers and business brokers. An investment manager typically
receives at least ten financing requests per month from these sources.
Loan Approval Process
Sirrom's investment managers identify potential borrowers by reviewing
financing requests and informational packages. After identifying applicants
meeting Sirrom's investment criteria, the investment manager, in conjunction
with a portfolio manager, selects applicants that merit additional
consideration. See "-- Selection of Loan and Investment Opportunities." If after
preliminary investigation and analysis, the investment manager and portfolio
manager conclude that an investment would be attractive, they submit a
non-binding, preliminary term sheet to the prospective borrower. When Sirrom and
the prospective borrower agree on terms, the prospective borrower pays Sirrom a
portion, typically one-half, of Sirrom's processing fee. The investment manager
and portfolio manager then conduct a more thorough investigation and analysis,
referred to as "due diligence," of the applicant. The due diligence process
usually includes on-site visits, review of historical and prospective financial
information, interviews with management, employees, customers and vendors of the
applicant, background checks and research on the applicant's product, service or
particular industry.
When due diligence is finished, the portfolio manager completes a standard
borrower profile that summarizes the borrower's historical financial statements,
its industry and management team, and its conformity to Sirrom's investment
criteria. The portfolio manager and investment manager then present the profile,
along with his or her due diligence findings, to the Regional Manager and Senior
Portfolio Manager. The Regional Manager and Senior Portfolio Manager have the
joint authority to approve new loans and investments aggregating up to $2
million. The loans are then ratified by a Loan Approval Committee presently
comprised of the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior
Portfolio Manager. New loans and investments aggregating between $2 million and
up to and including $3 million must be approved by the Regional Manager, Senior
Portfolio Manager and the Chief Operating Officer, and ratified by the Loan
Approval Committee. New loans and investments aggregating in excess of $3
million must be approved, in advance, by the Loan Approval Committee.
Special Investment Committee
As part of its operating model changes, Sirrom established the Special
Investment Committee in August 1998. This committee separately approves all
additional investments in, and maturity extensions of loans to, existing
portfolio companies. It also reviews valuations and risk ratings of all loans
risk rated 4, 5 or 6 on a monthly basis. The Special Investment Committee is
comprised of the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior
Portfolio Manager and the Senior Special Assets Officer.

<PAGE> 8
Loan Grading
Sirrom has implemented a system to grade all loans on a scale of 1 to 6.
This system is intended to reflect the performance of the borrower's business,
the collateral coverage of the loans and other factors considered relevant.
Loans graded 1 involve the least amount of risk in Sirrom's portfolio, while
loans graded 6 involve an unacceptable level of risk with substantial
probability of loss. For more information regarding Sirrom's loan grading
practices see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Portfolio Turnover and Credit Quality."
Loan Portfolio
During the year ended December 31, 1998, Sirrom originated loans to 178
companies, including 89 new borrowers, in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $301.8 million, in various industries. During the same period,
Sirrom realized $5.5 million in net equity gains and realized approximately
$66.9 million in loan and other losses. The following table sets forth the
amount of Sirrom's loans originated and repaid for the periods indicated, as
well as realized gains and realized losses.

balance outstanding.
CUSTODIAL SERVICES
Pursuant to a Custodial Services Agreement, First American National
Bank (Trust Department) acts as the custodian of all of Sirrom's and SII's
portfolio assets under the 1940 Act and, for SII's portfolio assets, under SBA
Regulations.
COMPETITION
Sirrom's principal competitors include financial institutions, venture
capital firms and other nontraditional lenders. Many of these entities have
greater financial and managerial resources than Sirrom. Sirrom believes that the
quality of its service, its reputation and the timely credit analysis and
decision-making processes it follows allow it to compete effectively with these
entities. To a significantly lesser degree, Sirrom believes that the interest
rates, maturities and payment schedules it offers on the loans to borrowers
further allow it to compete effectively.
EMPLOYEES
Sirrom currently has 101 employees, including 37 employees of Harris
Williams. Sirrom believes its relations with its employees are excellent.
SIRROM'S OPERATIONS AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
As a business development company, Sirrom may not acquire any asset
other than qualifying assets (as described below) unless, at the time of the
acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the value of Sirrom's
total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to Sirrom's
business are the following:
- Securities purchased from an issuer that is an eligible portfolio
company in transactions not involving any public offering. An eligible
portfolio company is defined as any issuer that (1) is organized and
has its principal place of business in the United States, (2) is not an
investment company other than a SBIC wholly owned by the business
development company and (3) does not have any class of publicly traded
securities for which a broker may extend margin credit.
9
<PAGE> 10
- Securities received in exchange for or distributed for securities
described above, or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or
rights relating to those securities.
- Cash, cash items, government securities, or high quality debt
securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.
Sirrom may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or
withdraw its election as, a business development company unless authorized by
vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sirrom common stock. Since
Sirrom made its business development company election, it has not made any
substantial change in its structure or in the nature of its business.
Sirrom is permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes
of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to the Sirrom common stock if its
asset coverage of any senior security (as defined in the 1940 Act) is at least
200% immediately after each issuance. Asset coverage means the ratio that the
value of Sirrom's total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not
represented by senior securities, bears to the total amount of senior securities
representing indebtedness of Sirrom plus the total involuntary liquidation
preference of any of these senior securities which are stock. Debt securities
issued to the SBA are not subject to this asset coverage test. In connection
with the transfer of its SBIC operations to SII and the formation of SFC, Sirrom
obtained exemptive relief from the SEC from some provisions of the 1940 Act.
Accordingly, Sirrom, SII and SFC may each incur indebtedness so long as after
incurring indebtedness Sirrom, individually, and Sirrom and each of its
investment company subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, meets the 200% asset
coverage test. In addition, while senior securities are outstanding, provisions
must be made to prohibit any distribution to shareholders or the repurchase of
the senior securities or shares unless Sirrom meets the applicable asset
coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. Sirrom may also
borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of its total assets for temporary or
emergency purposes.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Sirrom does not own any properties and leases 13,262 square feet of office
space in Nashville pursuant to a five year lease, 8,159 square feet of office
space in San Francisco pursuant to a 10 year lease.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 13, 1998, a purported class action was filed in U.S. District Court
for the Middle District of Tennessee against Sirrom and certain officers,
directors and affiliates. This lawsuit is captioned Trinity Holdings Corporation
v. Sirrom Capital Corporation, John A. Morris, Jr., George M. Miller, II, Carl
W. Stratton, H. Hiter Harris, III and Christopher H. Williams, Case No. 3-98-
0643, United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee,
Nashville (the "Trinity Holdings Lawsuit). The Trinity Holdings Lawsuit alleges
violations of federal securities laws related to a secondary offering of
securities that was made under a registration statement that was declared
effective on March 5, 1998, certain press releases and oral communications with
analysts. The plaintiff purports to sue on its own behalf and on behalf of all
persons who acquired Sirrom common stock between March 5, 1998 and July 9, 1998,
including all persons who purchased Sirrom common stock in connection with the
March 5, 1998 secondary offering. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary
damages as well as reasonable costs and expenses.
On September 4, 1998 and September 9, 1998, two additional purported class
actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of
Tennessee against Sirrom and certain officers, directors and affiliates. These
lawsuits are captioned John Brown v. Sirrom Capital Corporation, David Resha,
10
<PAGE> 11
Christopher H. Williams, H. Hiter Harris, III, John A. Morris, Jr., George M.
Miller II, and Sirrom Partners, L.P., Case No. 3-98-0826, United States District
Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville (the "Brown Lawsuit"), and
James Hirsch v. Sirrom Capital Corporation, John A. Morris, Jr., George M.
Miller, II, Carl W. Stratton, H. Hiter Harris, III, and Christopher H. Williams,
Case No. 3-98-0833, United States District Court for the Middle District of
Tennessee, Nashville (the "Hirsch Lawsuit"), respectively. The allegations made
in the Brown Lawsuit and the Hirsch Lawsuit are substantially similar to those
made in the Trinity Holdings Lawsuit, with the exception that the plaintiff in
the Brown Lawsuit purports to sue on behalf of all persons who acquired Sirrom
common stock between January 20, 1998 and July 10, 1998. The plaintiffs seek
monetary damages.
The District Court has ordered that the Trinity Holdings Lawsuit, the Brown
Lawsuit and the Hirsch Lawsuit be consolidated and proceed as one case. Before
the order, Sirrom and the individual defendants had moved to dismiss the Trinity
Holdings Lawsuit for, among other reasons, the plaintiff's failure to state a
claim. Pursuant to the Court's consolidation order, on December 14, 1998, the
Plaintiffs filed a single, Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. In this
amended complaint, Plaintiffs allege generally the same violations of federal
securities laws as alleged in the original Trinity Holdings, Brown and Hirsch
complaints. The amended complaint, however, also contains the additional
allegation that Sirrom's accounting for its loans violates GAAP, and asserts a
class action on behalf of all persons who acquired Sirrom's stock between
January 20, 1998 and July 10, 1998. Pursuant to the Court's consolidation order,
Sirrom filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on February 8, 1999.
A separate purported class action was filed on the same date as the Trinity
Holdings Lawsuit by Scott Orrock in the Chancery Court for Davidson County,
Tennessee against Sirrom and certain officers, directors and affiliates. This
lawsuit is captioned Scott Orrock v. Sirrom Capital Corporation, David Resha,
Christopher H. Williams, H. Hiter Harris, III, John A. Morris, Jr., George M.
Miller, II and Sirrom Partners, L.P., Docket No. 98-2103, 111, Chancery Court,
Davidson County, Tennessee (the "Orrock Lawsuit"). The Orrock Lawsuit alleges
violations of state securities laws in connection with the March 5, 1998
secondary offering, certain periodic reports filed with the SEC, certain press
releases and oral communications with analysts. The plaintiff purports to sue on
his own behalf and on behalf of all persons who purchased Sirrom common stock
between January 20, 1998 and July 10, 1998. The plaintiff, who has been joined
by another intervening plaintiff, seeks unspecified monetary damages with
interest, reasonable costs and expenses, and equitable relief. Sirrom and the
individual defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the Orrock Lawsuit. That
motion has not yet been set for a hearing before the Chancellor.
Sirrom believes that these actions are without merit, and it will continue
to vigorously defend the claims brought against it and the individual
defendants. Sirrom is unable, however, to predict the outcome of these lawsuits
or the costs to be incurred in defending them. Sirrom does not believe that
these actions will have a material adverse effect on the operations of Sirrom.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Not applicable.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE
Sirrom historically has elected to be treated as a regulated investment
company (a "RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). As a RIC, Sirrom was required to distribute at least 90% of its net
11
<PAGE> 12
operating income and net realized short-term capital gains, if any, to its
shareholders and did so on a quarterly basis. As a result of realized losses
recorded during 1998, Sirrom was not required to pay additional dividends in the
third and fourth quarters of 1998 and therefore did not declare any dividends.
Sirrom will not elect RIC status for 1999 and does not currently anticipate
paying dividends for the foreseeable future. Pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan,
a shareholder whose shares are registered in his own name can elect to have all
or a portion of any dividends reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock by
the Reinvestment Plan Administrator, by letter to Sirrom received prior to the
corresponding dividend declaration date.
The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol SIR. Prior to
January 7, 1998, the Common Stock was quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol SROM. On February 5, 1999, the last reported sale price of the Common
Stock was $8.00 per share. Sirrom presently has approximately 230 holders of
record and approximately 9,000 beneficial owners. The following table sets
forth the range of high and low closing sale prices of the Common Stock as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market and The New York Stock Exchange. The
information contained in the chart below reflects the two-for-one stock split
effective January 30, 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of Sirrom should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial
Data, Sirrom's Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and the other
financial data included elsewhere in this Report. The financial information
provided below has been rounded in order to simplify its presentation. However,
the ratios and percentages provided below are calculated using the detailed
financial information contained in the Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto and the financial data included elsewhere in this Report. The financial
information contained herein has been restated to reflect the operations of
Harris Williams as an unconsolidated subsidiary of Sirrom accounted for by the
equity method of accounting in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.
OVERVIEW
15
<PAGE> 16
Sirrom's principal investment objectives are to achieve a high level of
income by collecting 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. Sirrom's loans are typically
secured debt with relatively high fixed interest rates accompanied by warrants
to purchase equity securities of the borrower. in addition to interest on
investments, Sirrom also typically collects an up-front processing fee on each
loan it originates. Harris Williams typically obtains a monthly retainer fee for
each transaction for which it is retained and, in addition, a success fee when
the transaction is consummated.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sirrom's financial performance in the statements of operations included
in the financial statements and accompanying notes consists of four primary
elements. The first is "net operating income," which is Sirrom's income from
interest, dividends, fees and Harris Williams' pretax income, minus its total
operating expenses, including interest expense. The second element is "net
realized gain (loss) on investments," which is the proceeds received from the
disposition of portfolio assets minus 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
Sirrom's portfolio assets compared with their fair values at the beginning of
the period or their stated costs, as appropriate. Generally, "net realized gain
(loss) on investments "and "change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments" are inversely related. 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 on
the pre-tax income of Harris Williams.
Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
Net Operating Income. During the year ended December 31, 1998, Sirrom
earned interest on investments of $63.5 million, a 53.7% increase over the $41.3
million earned in 1997, which in turn was an 69.3% increase over the $24.4
million earned in 1996. The increases in interest income are a result of
increases in the average dollar amount of loans outstanding during the
applicable
16
<PAGE> 17
periods. Sirrom also collects an up-front processing fee for each loan it
originates. During fiscal 1998, Sirrom collected $7.2 million in processing and
other fees, a 2.9% increase over the $7.0 million collected in 1997, which in
turn was a 118.7% increase over the $3.2 million collected in 1996. The modest
increase in processing and other fees in 1998 are a result of the modest
increase in the dollar amount of loans originated during 1998. The large
increase in processing fees collected in 1997 over 1996 was a result of the
large increase in loans originated in 1997 as compared to 1996. In the first
quarter of 1999, Sirrom intends to change its accounting for processing fees.
This change will entail amortizing processing fees over the life of the
investment. While the change will not affect the amount of processing fees
collected, it will significantly reduce the amount of processing fee income
recognized over the next several years. The reduction will be significant
because fees collected in previous years have been fully recognized and
therefore will have no impact on income in future years. However, after this
transition period, the ratio of fee income to new loan originations should
return to historical levels because a portion of processing fees collected in
prior years will be recognized as income in the current year.
Sirrom's loan portfolio increased to $477.1 million at December 31,
1998, an increase of 15.8% from $412.0 million at December 31, 1997, which in
turn was an increase of 86.0% from $221.5 million at December 31, 1996. The
$301.8 million of loans originated during fiscal 1998 was a 6.9% increase over
the $282.4 million of loans originated during fiscal 1997, which in turn was a
113.9% increase over the $132.0 million of loans originated in 1996. The decline
in growth of originations in 1998 as compared to 1997 loan originations was a
result of management's decision to slow growth as described in more detail in
the section entitled "Portfolio Turnover and Credit Quality." The weighted
average interest rate charged on the loan portfolio at December 31, 1998 was
13.25% as compared to 13.28% and 13.18% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Sirrom also earned income from miscellaneous sources in an amount
equal to $34,000 in 1998, $61,000 in 1997, and $119,000 in 1996, primarily from
interest paid on loans to employees made in connection with purchases of common
stock of Sirrom.
Sirrom's interest expense increased to $17.3 million in 1998, a 76.5%
increase over the $9.8 million paid in 1997, which in turn was an 18.1% increase
over the $8.3 million paid in 1996. The increase in interest expense from 1996
to 1998 was primarily attributable to an increase in the average amount
outstanding under Sirrom's two revolving credit facilities and from the SBA.
Sirrom's total borrowings were $250.0 million on December 31, 1998, $214.3
million on December 31, 1997, and $120.9 million on December 31, 1996.
Overhead and amortization of borrowing costs totaled $15.8 million in
1998, $9.2 million in 1997, and $5.5 million in 1996. These increases can be
largely attributed to the increase in the number of employees from 24 in
December 1996 to 61 in December 1998 (excluding Harris Williams employees), the
opening of additional offices and increased borrowings. Overhead expenses as a
percentage of average assets was 2.5%, 2.1%, and 2.0% for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in these percentages in 1998 was largely the result
of management's decision to reduce loan originations during the last half of the
year and an expected one to two quarter lag in related expense reductions.
During 1998, Harris Williams had revenues of $12.5 million, an increase
of 26.3% over $9.9 million in 1997, which in turn was a 47.8% increase over $6.7
million in 1996. During 1998, Harris Williams had pre-tax income of $3.8
million, an increase of 2.7% over $3.7 million in 1997, which was in turn a
12.1% increase over $3.3 million in 1996. The modest increase in 1998 was due to
an increase in the size of the fees received on the transactions on which Harris
Williams provided advisory services and the increase in 1997 was due to an
increase in the number of transactions closed. Harris Williams provided advisory
services on 14 transactions that closed during 1998, and 15 transactions in
1997, and 13 transactions during 1996. Income taxes of $1.1 million, $825,000
and $207,000 were provided on Harris Williams' pre-tax income in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments. Sirrom's net realized loss on
investments was $61.4 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 compared
to a net realized gain on investments of $10.7 million and $9.5 million during
17
<PAGE> 18
the years ended December 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Realized losses for
1998 were $84.0 million offset in part by $22.6 million in realized gains.
Approximately one third of the net realized loss for the year ended December 31,
1998 was attributable to loans to two borrowers, Saraventures Fixtures, Inc. and
Precision Panel Products, Inc., whose manufacturing operations were consolidated
during 1998 as part of a restructuring strategy that was ultimately unsuccessful
and another third was attributable to the final resolution of loans that had
been graded 4, 5 or 6 for at least one year. The net realized loss for 1998 was
also increased by the reduction in realized gains during the second half of
1998. As a result of the decline in stock market valuations in the second half
of 1998 and the virtual cessation of initial public offerings that followed.
The following table sets forth the details of realized gains and losses that
occurred during the year ended December 31, 1998.

Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments. For
the year ended December 31, 1998, Sirrom recorded a change in unrealized
depreciation of $55.3 million. Sirrom recorded change in unrealized depreciation
of investments of $1.6 million in 1997 and change in unrealized appreciation of
investments of $2.6 million in 1996. The significant change in unrealized
depreciation for 1998 was the result of the increase in the number and dollar
amount of loans (from $76.7 million to $136.5 million) graded 4, 5 and 6 at
December 31, 1998 versus December 31, 1997, and the additional unrealized
depreciation taken against loans in those categories based upon with Sirrom's
experience in 1998 that the amount ultimately recovered on loans graded 4, 5 and
6 was less than previously anticipated.
The following table sets forth information regarding changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments made during the year ended December
31, 1998.

Provision for Income Taxes. Beginning in February 1995, Sirrom elected
to be taxed as a RIC as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. If Sirrom, 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, Sirrom is
generally taxed as a pass through entity that acts as a partial conduit of
income to its shareholders. To maintain its RIC status, Sirrom must, in general:
derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest and gains from
the sale or disposition of securities; meet investment diversification
requirements defined by the Internal Revenue Code; and distribute to
shareholders at least 90% of its net income (other than long-term capital
gains). Neither Sirrom, SII nor SFC will elect to be treated as a RIC in 1999.
Therefore, in 1999 Sirrom, SII and SFC will make provisions for income taxes to
the extent appropriate.
During 1998, Sirrom paid dividends of $32.7 million compared to the
$24.4 million paid in 1997 and $11.7 million paid in 1996. Of these dividends,
$7.5 million, $16.9 million, and $11.0 million were derived from net operating
income for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $8.8 million, $7.5 million,
and $577,000 million were derived from realized capital gains for 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The remaining $16.3 million paid in 1998 was accounted for
as a return of capital. Sirrom also elected to designate $10.6 million of the
undistributed realized capital gains in 1996 as a "deemed" distribution to
shareholders of record as of the end of 1996. Accordingly, $6.9 million for
1996, net of taxes of $3.7 million, of this "deemed" distribution has been
retained and reclassified from undistributed net realized earnings to Common
Stock. As a result of the realized losses taken by Sirrom in the third and
fourth quarters of 1998, Sirrom was not required under the RIC regulations to
pay additional dividends to shareholders. Therefore, in order to preserve
capital, SCC elected not to pay dividends during the last half of 1998. As
stated above, Sirrom will not elect to be treated as a RIC in 1999 and therefore
does not presently intend to pay dividends in 1999.
For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, Sirrom also
provided for federal income tax at a 35% rate on undistributed long-term capital
gains and excise tax at a 4% rate on undistributed taxable net investment income
and undistributed realized long-term capital gains and provided for federal and
state
22
<PAGE> 23
income taxes on Harris Williams' pre-tax income. These tax provisions totaled
$1.1 million, $838,000, and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1998, Sirrom had $2.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1998, Sirrom'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 $7.8 million and represent an additional source of liquidity.
However, Sirrom's ability to realize such values on a short-term basis is
limited by market conditions and various securities law restrictions.
Traditionally, Sirrom's principal sources of capital to fund its
portfolio growth have been borrowings of SII through the SBA-sponsored SBIC
debenture program, private and public sales of Sirrom's equity securities and
funds borrowed from banking institutions. In February 1995, Sirrom consummated
an initial public offering and has completed four additional public offerings
since that time, including a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock
completed in March 1998. These offerings have generated net proceeds of $361.5
million in the aggregate. Sirrom has used the proceeds of these offerings to
temporarily repay debt and to originate new loans.
At December 31, 1998, total SBA borrowings were $101.0 million, the
maximum amount of SBA loans available to an SBIC at that time. Each borrowing
from the SBA has a term of ten years, is secured by the assets of SII, is
guaranteed by Sirrom and can be prepaid without penalty after five years. The
average interest rate on these borrowings was 6.9% as of December 31, 1998, and
none of these borrowings mature before 2002.
Because the significant realized losses Sirrom recorded during fiscal
1998 would have caused a breach of certain asset quality covenants contained in
the First Union credit facility, Sirrom repaid approximately $9.4 million
outstanding under the facility on January 21, 1999 and terminated the commitment
extended thereunder. In connection with the termination of the First Union
credit facility, Sirrom obtained the consent of the SBA to transfer
approximately $45.8 million of assets from SII to Sirrom. These assets will be
used as additional collateral to be sold to SFC which will allow additional
borrowings under the ING credit facility.
Sirrom has also established the $200 million ING credit facility. SFC,
a wholly owned, special purpose, bankruptcy remote subsidiary of Sirrom, is the
borrower under the ING credit facility. SFC purchases loans originated by Sirrom
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. At
December 31, 1998, $132.2 million was outstanding under the ING credit facility
and $258.5 million and $266.3 million of loans and warrants at cost and fair
value, respectively, were collateralizing the ING credit facility. To manage
interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rate under the ING
credit facility, Sirrom has entered into various hedging arrangements. Sirrom
may borrow under the ING credit facility until December 31, 2001, and it expires
on January 5, 2007. The ING credit facility is not guaranteed by Sirrom.
However, certain actions by Sirrom can trigger an event of default under the ING
credit facility, including a reduction in Sirrom's tangible net worth below
approximately $270.0 million. These would cause termination of further funding
and the application of the collateral pledged for repayment of the amounts
outstanding under the ING credit facility. 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 Sirrom.
23
<PAGE> 24
Sirrom believes that anticipated borrowings under the ING credit
facility, together with cash on hand, loan repayments and cash flow from
operations plus realized gains on investments, will only be adequate to fund the
continuing growth of Sirrom's investment portfolio through the second quarter of
1999. Sirrom presently anticipates that it will be able to consummate the
proposed merger transaction with the FINOVA Group, Inc., which transaction will
provide for continued growth of the loan portfolio. In the event that Sirrom
does not complete the transaction, Sirrom will need to incur additional short
and long-term borrowings from other sources, and sell equity in private
transactions or sell certain non-core business assets, in order to provide the
funds necessary for Sirrom to continue its growth strategy beyond that period.
The availability and terms of borrowings, sales of equity and sales of assets,
will depend upon market conditions, the interest rate environment and various
other conditions, including the performance of Sirrom's portfolio. There can be
no assurances that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to
Sirrom and failure to procure additional funding would require Sirrom to
significantly reduce its loan originations which would materially affect its
profitability and market presence.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER AND CREDIT QUALITY
During the year ended December 31, 1998, Sirrom made loans to 178
companies totaling approximately $301.8 million and received repayments (either
partial or full) from 66 companies aggregating $94.9 million. During the year
ended December 31, 1997, Sirrom made loans to 150 companies totaling
approximately $282.3 million and received repayments (either partial or full)
from 47 companies aggregating $67.7 million. During the year ended December 31,
1996, Sirrom made loans to 84 companies totaling approximately $132.0 million
and received repayments (either partial or full) from 24 companies aggregating
$32.6 million. Since inception, Sirrom has originated $901.0 million in total
loans and $220.2 million, or 24.4% have been repaid. Sirrom cannot control
changes in its portfolio of investments, as borrowers have the right to prepay
loans made by Sirrom without penalty.
Sirrom 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 relevant
factors. To monitor and manage the risk in the overall portfolio, management
tracks the weighted average portfolio grade. The weighted average grade was 3.26
and 3.04 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Sirrom believes that
weighted average grades between 2.75 and 3.25 represent the current normal range
for the portfolio.
Management believes that loans with a grade 1 involve the least amount
of risk in Sirrom's portfolio, as the borrower is performing well above
expectations financially, and other risk factors are clearly favorable.
Management believes that loans with a grade 2 involve low risk relative to other
loans in Sirrom's portfolio, as the borrower is performing above expectations
financially and the majority of risk factors are favorable. Management believes
that loans with a grade 3 involve an acceptable risk, as the borrower is
performing as expected financially and the other risk factors are generally
favorable.
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. Sirrom's management believes
that 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 December 31, 1998 and 1997, Sirrom's portfolio consisted of 32 and 18 loans,
respectively, graded 4. The aggregate principal balance of loans graded 4 at
December 31, 1998
24
<PAGE> 25
and 1997, respectively, was $66.9 million and $49.0 million, which represented
11.9% and 10.2%, respectively, of the total portfolio balance at such dates.
Loans graded 5 and 6 are placed on Sirrom's Credit Watch List and are
serviced by a member of Sirrom's workout group. Loans with a grade 5 are
generally in default and interest is generally not being accrued, but Sirrom'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 Sirrom has charged off or expects to charge off a significant
part of the loan. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, Sirrom had loans to 31
companies with an aggregate principal balance of $69.2 million and 16 companies
with an aggregate principal balance of $27.7 million, respectively, that were
graded a 5 or 6 and that were not accruing interest, which represented 12.3% and
6.5%, respectively, of the total portfolio balance.
Since late 1995 when Sirrom refined its 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
below that range. Also since that time, the percentage of the principal balance
of loans graded 5 and 6 to the total portfolio balance has typically ranged
between 6% and 10%. Given the nature of Sirrom's business, making loans to small
companies, and the risks associated with this business, Sirrom expects the
absolute dollar amount of loans graded 4, 5 and 6 and the ratio of these loans
to the total portfolio to vary greatly, individually and in the aggregate, on a
quarter to quarter basis.
Sirrom believes the percentage of grade 4 loans at December 31, 1998 to
be within the current normal range of variability. Sirrom also believes the
percentage of grade 5 and 6 loans to be above the current normal range of
variability as a result of a combination of factors, including the following:
- The substantial growth in the portfolio over the last two
years, coupled with the concept that non-performance on new
loans typically comes early in the loan's life cycle, has
significantly impacted the percentage increase of loans graded
4, 5 and 6.
- Due to the tightening of credit standards within many
commercial banks and other lenders during the second half of
1998, senior lenders to certain of Sirrom's portfolio
companies have instituted interest payment blockages with
respect to Sirrom's loans under circumstances in which they
might not have done so in the past. These interest payment
blockages have caused the loans to be put on Sirrom's credit
watch list when they otherwise would not have been placed on
the list.
Sirrom is closely monitoring the recent upward trend in the ratio of
loans in the lower three credit grades to the total portfolio, has decided to
reduce the rate of growth of loan originations and continues to redefine its
operating model to seek to improve overall asset quality. A full discussion of
the operating changes made during the second half of 1998 is included in Item 1
under the heading "Operations." No assurance, however can be given that the
trends in total loans classified in the lower three loan categories will not
continue, or that the total loans classified 5 and 6 will not continue to grow,
particularly if overall economic conditions nationally, internationally or in
the Southeastern United States deteriorate.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue, in general terms, is that many existing computer
systems and microprocessors with date-based functions, including non-information
technology equipment and systems, use only two digits to identify a year. This
25
<PAGE> 26
equipment and systems assumes that the first two digits of the year are always
"19." Consequently, on January 1, 2000, computers that are not Year 2000
compliant may read the year as 1900. The concern is that systems that calculate,
compare or sort using the incorrect date may malfunction. If these malfunctions
are not corrected, business operations could be disrupted. In an attempt to
prevent these problems, Sirrom has begun implementing a Year 2000 compliance
program. Sirrom created a Year 2000 Compliance Committee that is focusing on
three primary areas of concern: Sirrom's information technology and other
systems, third parties and portfolio companies.
Most of the software used in Sirrom's information technology systems is
provided by outside vendors. Sirrom uses two primary software programs, one to
track its investment portfolio and one to provide accounting functions. These
programs have been designated as Year 2000 compliant by the vendors.
Additionally, Sirrom will either conduct its own tests for compliance or use
third party test results. Approximately 90% of Sirrom's remaining vendors have
provided software or software upgrades designated by the software vendor as Year
2000 compliant. In addition, Sirrom has developed a Year 2000 contingency plan
to address vendor-supplied software which does not meet Sirrom's Year 2000
compliance deadlines.
Sirrom's non-information technology systems used to conduct business at
its facilities consist primarily of office equipment besides computers and
communications equipment. Sirrom has inventoried its non-information technology
systems and has contacted its office equipment vendors to determine the status
of their Year 2000 readiness. Sirrom does not currently believe that it faces
material adverse issues for its non-information technology systems.
Sirrom has been actively communicating with third parties about the
status of their Year 2000 readiness. These third parties include Sirrom's banks,
vendors, landlords and suppliers of telecommunication services and other
utilities. As part of the process of evaluating its options and attempting to
mitigate third party risks, Sirrom is collecting and analyzing information from
third parties.
Sirrom is also investigating the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its
portfolio companies. Beginning in February 1998, Sirrom submitted a series of
questionnaires to its portfolio companies as of December 31, 1997, to determine
their potential exposure to Year 2000 problems and the adequacy of their plans
to address any exposure. Additionally, since January 1998, Sirrom has performed
due diligence regarding the Year 2000 issue for all new borrowers. Sirrom plans
to complete its evaluation of its portfolio companies and will then complete any
necessary follow up by March 31, 1999 with those portfolio companies whom Sirrom
believes have material exposure and inadequate contingency plans. Based upon the
disclosure received from the responding companies, Sirrom believes that
companies whose loans represent approximately 90% of its portfolio have either
no material exposure to Year 2000 or are finalizing their contingency plans to
address this exposure. Sirrom has not made a determination with respect to the
balance of its portfolio as it is in the process of finalizing its review of
those companies.
Through March 31, 1999, Sirrom will continue with the testing and
remediation of its information technology and non-information technology systems
and the evaluation of its third party and portfolio company Year 2000 risks.
Sirrom will take further steps designed to reduce its exposure to these risks.
Sirrom will also further develop its contingency plan for business continuation
in the event of a Year 2000 systems failure. This contingency plan is based upon
Sirrom's existing disaster recovery plan with modifications for Year 2000 risks.
Because Sirrom has maintenance contracts with most of its software
vendors, it has not been required to purchase most of the software upgrades
necessary to insure Year 2000 compliance. As a result, the cost of Sirrom's Year
2000 project is expected to be relatively minor, not exceeding $200,000. This
amount includes the costs of:
26
<PAGE> 27
- additional software;
- Sirrom's systems professionals dedicated to achieving Year 2000
compliance for Sirrom's information technology systems;
- the costs of analyzing the Year 2000 readiness of the portfolio
companies; and
- other employee and management costs.
Sirrom has included the cost of the Year 2000 project in its annual budgets for
information technology. Sirrom has postponed some minor non-Year 2000
information technology expenditures and initiatives until after 2000 so it can
concentrate resources on the Year 2000 issue. Sirrom does not expect that this
postponement will have a material effect on Sirrom's financial condition and
results of operations.
It is hard to predict the effect of Year 2000 non-readiness on the
business of Sirrom. Significant Year 2000 failures in Sirrom's systems or in the
systems of third parties could have a material adverse effect on Sirrom's
business. Given the size and age of its portfolio companies and the
service-based industries in which they primarily operate, Sirrom anticipates
that few of its portfolio companies will face any material issues regarding the
Year 2000. However, no assurance can be given that some of Sirrom's portfolio
companies will not suffer material adverse effects from Year 2000 issues. If the
adverse effects impact the companies' ability to repay their loans, Sirrom's
operating results and financial condition could be adversely effected. Sirrom
believes that its reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario is a material
increase in Sirrom's credit losses due to Year 2000 problems for Sirrom's
portfolio and disruption in financial markets causing liquidity stress to
Sirrom. The magnitude of these potential credit losses or disruption cannot be
determined at this time.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Sirrom does not believe that inflation materially affects its business,
other than the impact that it may have on the securities markets, the valuations
of business enterprises and the relationship of the valuations to underlying
earnings. Those could all influence the value of Sirrom's investments.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in
interest rates, equity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest rates. The Company's balance sheet consists of two items subject to
interest rate risk. First, the Company's investment portfolio consists of fixed
rate loans. Given that the loans are priced at a fixed rate, changes in interest
rates do not have a direct impact on interest income. In addition, changes in
market interest rates are not typically a significant factor in the board of
directors' determination of fair value of these loans. Second, the Company's
liabilities consist of debt payable to the SBA and two financial institutions.
The SBA debentures are payable at fixed rates of interest, so changes in
interest rates do not affect the Company's interest expense. The two revolving
credit facilities are priced at floating rates of interest, with a basis of
LIBOR, prime rate, or commercial paper rates at the Company's option. As
discussed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has
entered into several interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in
interest expense related to changes in market interest rates. While the Company
attempts to match swaps with debt to achieve a "perfect" hedging arrangement, at
any point in time the Company's hedges may not be fully effective in this regard
due to i) the amount swapped may not match the amount borrowed due to the
Company's inability to control the timing and amount of loan originations and
repayments and thus the amount borrowed under the revolving credit facilities;
ii) the monthly payments due from or payable to the counterparties under the
swaps are based on the average interest rate for a 30-day period for the
respective interest rate being swapped (e.g., LIBOR), and the timing and amount
of the Company's borrowings during that period may cause the Company's average
interest rate paid to be different from the average rate under the swap; and
iii) the monthly payments due from or payable to the counterparty under the
commercial paper swaps are based on an index (USD-CP-H.15), and the actual
commercial paper sold by the Company under the ING Credit Facility may be at a
different interest rate than the index. As a result of these factors, at any
given time, a change in interest rates could result in either an increase or
decrease in the Company's interest expense. Based on the amount borrowed and the
swap positions at December 31, 1998, a hypothetical ten percent increase or
decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease or increase, respectively,
in interest expense of approximately one-fourth of that amount. Additionally,
changes in interest rates could also impact the fair values of the swap
agreements. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value
information related to the swap agreements.
Equity prices. A significant portion of the Company's investment portfolio
consists of debt and equity investments in private companies. The Company would
anticipate no impact on these investments from modest changes in market equity
prices. However, should significant changes in market equity prices occur,
there could be a longer-term affect on valuations of private companies, which
could affect the carrying value and the amount and timing of gains realized on
these investments. Significant changes in market equity prices could affect the
timing of loan repayments, but should not affect the value of the Company's
private company loans. A smaller portion of the Company's investment portfolio
consists of common stocks and warrants to purchase common stock in publicly
traded companies. At December 31, 1998, these investments were carried at a fair
value of $7.8 million. These investments are directly exposed to equity price
risk, in that a hypothetical ten percent change in these equity prices would
result in a similar percentage change in the fair value of these securities.
Finally, the Company holds debt and equity securities that are convertible into
the common stock of publicly traded companies. At December 31, 1998, these
investments were carried at a fair value of $26.7 million. These investments are
directly exposed to equity price risk, but given that the securities hold a
liquidation preference that is senior to the common stock and given that the
securities have either an interest or dividend payment associated with them, the
change in fair value of these securities would be expected to be less than any
change in the price of the underlying common stock. Thus, a hypothetical ten
percent change in these equity prices would result in a lesser percentage change
in the fair value of these securities.
Foreign currency exchange rates. Approximately 96% and 4% of the Company's
investment portfolio is denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars,
respectively, as measured on a fair value basis. As such, the Company's
exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is not material to its
financial position.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Sirrom Capital Corporation and
Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SIRROM
CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (see Note 1) as of December 31, 1997 and
1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As explained in Note 2, the financial statements include investments valued
at approximately $482,652,000 (95% of total assets) and approximately
$555,930,000 (96% of total assets) as of December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, whose values have been estimated by the Board of Directors in the
absence of readily ascertainable market values. However, because of the inherent
uncertainty of valuation, those estimated 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Sirrom Capital Corporation
and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the results of their
operations, the changes in shareholders' equity and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Sirrom Capital Corporation (the "Company"), a Tennessee corporation, 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
shareholders' equity through the appreciation in value of the equity interests
in its portfolio companies that are primarily small, privately owned companies.
The Company targets small businesses that the Company believes have certain
characteristics, 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 has made investments in micro-cap public companies under
the name Tandem Capital, Inc. ("Tandem") and provides merger and acquisition
advisory services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harris Williams & Co.
L.P. ("Harris Williams"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
including principles 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 that has
elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (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. In December 1996, the Company formed Sirrom Funding Corporation ("SFC"), a
closed-end, non-diversified investment company. SFC is a bankruptcy remote
subsidiary that purchases loans and warrants from the Company on a true-sale
basis and holds them as collateral for a $200.0 million revolving credit
facility. The Company, SII and SFC have each elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").
In August 1996, the Company acquired the ownership interests of Harris
Williams for 1,796,908 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 has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 and
the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998 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 has a 40% ownership interest in a Canadian company, SCC Canada,
Inc., that provides loan origination and processing services for loans to
Canadian companies. The Company's ownership interest in SCC Canada, Inc. is
immaterial to its financial position and is accounted for under the equity
method of accounting.
The Company periodically establishes separate, wholly-owned subsidiaries to
own, manage and sell the assets of troubled portfolio companies. These
subsidiaries are accounted for as investments in the consolidated financial
statements.

SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
SII, and SFC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidation.
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 that could be realized in the
normal course of business, assuming the Company holds the loan to maturity and
realizes 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 and the filings of
registration statements in connection with a portfolio company's initial public
offering when valuing warrants.
Shares of stock and warrants of public companies that the Company is not
permitted to sell in the public market as a result of securities law
restrictions, lock-up agreements and other similar restrictions were typically
valued at 80% of market value at December 31, 1998 and 70% of market value at
December 31, 1997. The change in 1998 was a result of the reduction in the
holding period for restricted stock by the Securities and Exchange Commission
from two years to one year. All other publicly traded stocks were typically
valued at 95% of market value at the balance sheet date at December 31, 1998 and
90% of market value at December 31, 1997. The change in 1998 was the result of
an analysis by the Company of sales of public company stocks in 1997 that
evidenced an average valuation in excess of 95% of market price.
At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the investment portfolio included
investments totaling $482,652,000 and $555,930,000, 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 statements of operations.
Description of Loan Terms
The loans to small business concerns included in investments bear interest
at rates ranging from 5.0% to 16.5%. Typically, interest is payable in monthly
or quarterly installments over five years with the entire
34

SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
principal amount typically due at maturity. These loans are generally
collateralized by liens on the assets of the borrower. Certain of these liens
may be subject to prior liens.
Interest on Investments
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The accrual of income is
typically suspended when the related loan becomes 60 days past due unless
management anticipates that accrued amounts will be collected.
Loan Processing Fees
The Company recognizes loan processing fees as income when the related loan
closes.
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. Cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,075,000 was restricted as
collateral under interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 1997. As of
December 31, 1998, there were no cash restriction requirements under existing
swap agreements.
Debt Financing Costs
SBA debenture costs are amortized over ten years, which represents the term
of the fourteen SBA debentures (See Note 4). Financing costs related to the
revolving credit facilities are amortized over the term of the credit
agreements.
Income Taxes
Beginning in February 1995, the Company elected to be taxed as a RIC under
Subchapter M of the 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, (a)
derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest and gains from
the sale or disposition of securities, (b) meet investment diversification
requirements defined by the Code and (c) distribute to shareholders at least 90%
of its net income (other than long-term capital gains).
Because of the pending acquisition as discussed in Note 16, the Company has
announced it will not elect to be taxed as a RIC during 1999. As a result,
beginning January 1, 1999, the Company will record a tax provision or benefit
and related deferred tax liability or asset for the unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of investments.
Shareholders' Equity
During November 1994, six employees were granted ownership interests in the
predecessor to the Company at a purchase price equal to the approximate fair
value of each ownership interest. In connection therewith, each employee
executed a promissory note for the purchase price of such interest. The
promissory notes bear interest at 7.25% per annum with interest payable
annually. All notes mature on November 1, 2001. The interests in the predecessor
were subsequently exchanged for the Company's common stock. The stock must be
resold to the Company if the employee is no longer employed by the Company for a
period of not less than three years from the date of purchase. The notes
receivable from employees were shown as a reduction in shareholders' equity and
a reduction to common stock in the amount of $1,980,000 at
35
<PAGE> 36
SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1995. During 1996, one employee terminated employment and the
Company repurchased 130,000 shares for $809,645 which resulted in a cancellation
of a note and a reduction in the balance of the notes receivable from employees
of $440,142. These shares were reissued by the Company in a secondary offering
in June 1996. During 1997, 32,080 shares were repurchased by the Company for
$102,615 following the termination of employment of an employee. These shares
were reissued by the Company in the February 1997 secondary offering. During
1997, notes receivable was reduced to $648,442 as a result of repayments. During
1998, notes receivable was reduced to $15,034 as a result of repayments.
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 or
speculative purposes. See Note 6.
Net Increase (Decrease) In Shareholders' Equity Resulting From Operations per
Share
Net increase (decrease) in shareholders' equity resulting from operations
per share is calculated in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128. Under the standards established
by SFAS No. 128, per share information is measured at two levels: basic and
diluted. See Note 10 for the Company's computation of these amounts.
Accounting Pronouncements
During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." The provisions of this statement had no material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements. Accordingly, the Company's reportable segments
are its investing operations as a business development company and the merger
and advisory operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harris Williams, both of
which are further discussed in Note 1. See Note 15 for discussion of Harris
Williams' operations.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," which will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2000. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in
other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that changes
in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
this new Statement on its consolidated financial position, liquidity, and
results of operations.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. INVESTMENTS
Investments consist primarily of loans made and warrants obtained from
borrowers. Investments are recorded at fair value as determined by the directors
or by current market prices, if available, in accordance with the Company's
valuation policy (See Note 2). While the Company markets to borrowers throughout
the United States, approximately 52% at December 31, 1998 and 60% at December
31, 1997 of the investment portfolio consists of loans and equity investments in
companies that are headquartered in the southeastern United States.
The aggregate gross principal of loans on non-accrual status, less realized
losses, totaled $27,717,592 and $69,240,495 at December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. The aggregate fair values of these loans as determined by the
Company's directors totaled $17,052,737 and $18,883,942 at December 31, 1997 and
1998, respectively.
Included in the investment portfolio at December 31, 1997 and 1998 are
other investments that consist primarily of rights to royalty payments, a right
to receive payment from a potential arbitration settlement and rights to collect
accounts receivable. The Company obtained these rights upon foreclosure of three
loans. The aggregate cost of other investments at December 31, 1997 and 1998 was
$4,240,503 and $2,243,685, respectively, which represents the cost basis of the
original loans less realized losses plus capitalized workout expenses. The
Company's Board of Directors have estimated the fair value of these investments
to be $2,440,503 and $1,343,684 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
4. DEBENTURES PAYABLE TO SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
As of December 31, 1998, SII had fourteen debentures totaling $101.0
million 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:
<TABLE>

</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 years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 totaled $5,734,794, $6,317,392 and
$6,857,078, respectively.
The SBA debentures are secured by the assets of SII. The debentures are
also guaranteed by the Company.
5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
Revolving credit facilities consist of the following at December 31, 1997
and 1998:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1997 1998

</TABLE>
37
<PAGE> 38
SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In January 1999, the First Union Credit Facility was repaid in full and
terminated. Interest expense on the First Union Credit Facility, including the
interest rate swaps and a quarterly fee of .25% per annum on the total First
Union Credit Facility for the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 was
$2,574,681, $1,555,468 and $3,754,328, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, SFC entered into a $100.0 million revolving credit
facility with a financial institution (the "ING Credit Facility"). In May 1998,
this facility was increased to $200.0 million. SFC purchases loans and the
related warrants originated by the Company, and funds substantially all such
purchases with borrowings under the facility. The ING Credit Facility is funded
by commercial paper sold by the financial institution, and bears interest at the
stated rate on the commercial paper sold plus 2.25%. SFC is generally able to
borrow up to 70% of the principal amount of conforming loans that are pledged to
secure the credit facility. At December 31, 1998, investments with a cost and
fair value of approximately $258,460,000 and $266,345,000 respectively, had been
contributed or sold to SFC by the Company and were pledged as collateral under
the ING Credit Facility. The ING Credit Facility agreement contains operational
restrictions such as requiring lender approval of certain mergers and
acquisitions and changes in management. The facility agreement also contains
financial covenants related to tangible net worth, loan delinquency and loan
defaults. As of December 31, 1998, the Company and SFC were in compliance with
those covenants. The Company may borrow under the facility until December 31,
2001, and the facility expires on January 5, 2007.
Interest expense on the ING Credit Facility including the swaps and a
monthly fee of .50% per annum on the unused portion of the facility totaled
$1,923,899 and $6,683,831 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
6. INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN CURRENCY SWAPS
To hedge its exposure under the revolving credit facilities, the Company
has entered into three sets of interest rate swap agreements.
Under the first agreement, which the Company entered into in July 1997, the
Company has swapped the variable LIBOR rates on $45.0 million notional amount to
a fixed rate of 6.37%. This swap expires in May 2000.
Under the second set of agreements ("Second Swap Agreements"), which the
Company entered into in November 1996 and modified in March 1998 and May 1998,
the Company has exchanged variable commercial paper rates on $100.0 million
notional amount. Through December 1999, the Company has swapped the variable
commercial paper rate to a fixed rate of 6.0%. During the period from January
2000 through January 2002, the Company has put in place a collar that caps the
variable commercial paper rate at 6.35% in exchange for a floor at 6.0%.
Under the third agreement, which the Company entered into in May 1998, the
Company exchanged variable commercial paper rates on $20.0 million notional
amount beginning in September 1998, increasing to a total of $100.0 million
notional amount in January 1998. Through January 2002, Company has swapped the
variable commercial paper rate to a fixed rate of 6.0%.
The rates under the swap agreements do not include the 2.25% fee charged by
the financial institution under the ING Credit Facility or the 1.75% margin
charged by the financial institutions under the First Union Credit Facility.
At December 31, 1997, $2,075,000 of cash was restricted as collateral for
the Second Swap Agreements. As of December 31, 1998, there were no cash
restriction requirements under any of the swap agreements.
The interest rate swap agreements are off-balance-sheet financial
instruments and have no carrying value. The fair value of these agreements
represents an estimate of the cost to the Company to terminate the agreements,
which is approximately $6.9 million at December 31, 1998. The counterparties to
the interest rate
38

SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
swap agreements are major commercial banks. Management believes that losses
related to credit risk are remote.
In July 1998, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap with a major
commercial bank to hedge a portion of its loan portfolio denominated in Canadian
dollars. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will swap an initial
C$11,856,031 for U.S.$8,416,172, with the amounts declining by C$1,185,600 and
U.S.$841,617, respectively, every six months through July 2003. In addition, the
agreement provides for the Company to make monthly interest payments in Canadian
dollars at 13.15%, while receiving monthly interest payments in U.S. dollars at
11.43%.
7. INCOME TAXES
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company provided
for federal income tax at a 35% rate on undistributed realized long-term capital
gains, excise taxes at a 4% rate on undistributed taxable net investment income
as defined by the Code and undistributed realized long-term capital gains and
federal and state income taxes on Harris Williams' pre-tax income (See Note 15).
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the provision for income
taxes totaled $4,270,054, $838,175 and $1,132,477, respectively.
8. STOCK OPTION PLANS
At December 31, 1998, the Company had two employee stock option plans and
one director stock option plan, as described below. The Company applies APB
Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's three stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans
consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net increase
(decrease) in shareholders' equity resulting from operations and related per
share amounts for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 would have
been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:

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
1,000,000 and 5,707,098 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 typically vest over a five year period from the
date of hire and expire ten years from the date of grant.
A summary of stock option activity related to the plans, including amounts
subject to shareholder approval, is as follows:

</TABLE>
Included in the 1,535,162 and 3,118,004 options granted in 1996 and 1997,
respectively, are options to purchase 639,094 shares that were issued subject to
the approval of the Company's shareholders of an increase in the number of
shares available for grant under the 1996 Plan, which was obtained in 1997, and
options to purchase 2,247,098 shares that have been issued subject to the
approval by the Company's shareholders of an increase in the shares available
for grant under the 1996 Plan. On October 1, 1998, 5,754,598 options with
exercise prices ranging from $5.50 to $28.75 per share were canceled and
4,913,684 options were reissued at an exercise price of $3.5625 per share. The
newly issued options maintained the vesting period and expiration date of the
canceled options, and none of the shares underlying the newly issued options can
be sold for a one-year period from the new issue date, absent a change in
control.
Directors Stock Option Plan
During 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors that provides for the automatic issuance of options to
purchase the Company's common stock to non-employee directors. This plan was
amended in April 1998, subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange
Commission which was received in June 1998. The plan reserves 246,000 shares of
common stock for automatic grant. Directors elected prior to December 1, 1994
received options to purchase 36,000 shares and directors elected after December
1, 1994 received options to purchase 24,000 shares. Upon the initial election of
a future non-employee director, an option to acquire 12,000 shares of common
stock will be issued to the director. In addition, upon reelection each director
will receive an option to purchase 4,000 shares beginning
40
<PAGE> 41
SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
with the 1997 reelections. Under the terms of the Plan, the options' exercise
price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on
date of grant. No options were granted in 1995. In 1996, 168,000 options were
granted at an exercise price of $12.125. In 1997, 12,000 options were granted at
an exercise price of $13.968. In 1998, 52,000 options were granted at an
exercise price of $23.625. No shares were exercised prior to 1997 and 11,600 and
20,000 shares were exercised during 1997 and 1998, respectively. No shares have
been forfeited to date.
9. SECONDARY OFFERING
In March 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 6,000,000 shares
of common stock at a price of $25.50 per share. The net proceeds to the Company
of the offering, after underwriting commissions and expenses were approximately
$144,560,000.
10. NET INCREASE (DECREASE) IN SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY PER SHARE
The Company computes the net increase (decrease) in shareholders' equity
from operations per common share-basic by dividing the net increase (decrease)
in shareholders' equity from operations by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year which was 22,529,246, 30,220,742 and
36,056,691 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
For the calculation of the net increase (decrease) in shareholders' equity from
operations per common share-diluted, the Company increases the weighted average
number of shares for the potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.
The weighted average shares outstanding considering the effect of the stock
options outstanding was 23,109,950, 31,658,154 and 36,056,691 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, stock options to purchase 1,693,026 shares at an average
exercise price of $4.01 were not included in the per share-diluted calculation
because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
11. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
During 1996, the Company paid dividends of $11,553,590, of which
$10,976,390 and $577,200 were derived from net operating income and realized
capital gains, respectively. The Company elected to designate $10,681,683 of the
undistributed realized capital gains as a "deemed" distribution to shareholders
of record as of the end of the year. Accordingly, $6,943,094, net of taxes of
$3,738,589, of this designated distribution has been retained and reclassified
from undistributed net realized earnings to common stock.
During 1997, the Company paid dividends of $24,439,744, of which
$16,977,374 and $7,462,370 were derived from net operating income and realized
capital gains, respectively. In December 1997, the Company declared a dividend
derived from capital gains totaling $5,405,267 payable in January 1998.
During 1998, the Company declared and paid dividends of $27,287,692, of
which $7,523,406 and $3,435,438 were derived from net operating income and
realized capital gains, respectively. The remaining $16,328,848 distributed is
accounted for as a return of capital.
12. STOCK SPLIT
On January 5, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split on the Company's common stock. One additional share was issued for each
share of common stock held by shareholders of record as of the close of business
on January 16, 1998. The new shares were distributed on January 30, 1998. All
references to the number of common shares and per share amounts have been
restated as appropriate to reflect the effect of the split for all periods
presented.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and Harris Williams lease offices under operating leases and
incurred rent expense of $353,056 and $678,484 during 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Annual commitments for each of the next five years are as follows:
1999 -- $763,056; 2000 -- $812,547; 2001 -- $827,456; 2002 -- $724,623 and
2003 -- $652,898.
The Company has employment contracts with certain employees of Harris
Williams that provide for annual salary, bonuses based on performance and
severance pay if terminated without cause. The agreements have a four year term,
expiring in August 2000. The Company's remaining commitment for salaries,
excluding bonuses, under these agreements is $348,460.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding loan commitments
totaling $13.5 million, of which $8.9 million are contingent upon the borrower
meeting certain future financial conditions. These commitments were made in the
ordinary course of the Company's business and are generally on the same terms as
loans to existing borrowers. The Company also had contingent liabilities
totaling $5.7 million relating to guarantees of letters of credit, credit
facilities, performance bonds and operating costs of three portfolio companies.
These liabilities expire at various dates through March 2001.
The Company has made a commitment under a joint venture agreement to fund
up to $100.0 million (in Canadian dollars) in loans to Canadian companies of
which approximately $34.5 million has been funded as of December 31, 1998.
14. LITIGATION
During 1998, three class actions were filed against the Company and certain
officers, directors and affiliates. Pursuant to a court order to consolidate the
claims, the plaintiffs of the class actions filed a single consolidated amended
class action complaint. In the amended complaint, the plantiffs allege
violations of federal securities laws related to a secondary offering of
securities effective on March 5, 1998, certain press releases and oral
communications with analysts. The amended complaint also alleges that the
Company's accounting for its loans violates generally accepted accounting
principles. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as
reasonable costs and expenses. The Company anticipates filing a motion to
dismiss the amended complaint.
A similar class action was filed against the Company and certain officers,
directors and affiliates that alleges violations of state securities laws
related to the March 5, 1998 secondary offering, certain press releases and oral
communications with analysts. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages
as well as reasonable costs and expenses. The Company has filed a motion to
dismiss the lawsuit.
The Company believes that these actions are without merit, and it will
vigorously defend the claims. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of
the legal actions or the costs to be incurred in defending them, the Company and
its counsel believe that the costs associated with these legal actions will not
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liability related to these
actions, except for an estimate of attorneys fees in defending this matter.

On January 6, 1999, the Company executed an agreement to merge with the
FINOVA Group, Inc. ("FINOVA") and become a wholly owned subsidiary of FINOVA.
The agreement, unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both
companies, provides for the Company's shareholders to receive .1634 shares of
FINOVA common stock for each share of the Company's common stock, subject to
possible increases. In conjunction with the merger, the Company has elected to
withdraw its election to be treated as a business development company under the
1940 Act. Consummation of the proposed merger is contingent upon regulatory
approval and shareholder approval of the merger plan and related withdrawal of
the Company's election to be treated as a business development company. If the
merger agreement is not consummated as a result of certain circumstances defined
in the agreement, including the Company shareholders' voting to disapprove the
merger, then the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $13.8
million.
On January 6, 1999, after execution of the merger agreement, the Company
elected not to consummate a portfolio purchase agreement to sell certain
investments to a third party. As required under this agreement, the Company
incurred a termination fee and expenses of approximately $2.2 million.

TEN-YEAR OPTION REPRICINGS
In late September, the Sirrom board addressed the issue of the need to
reprice employee options in an attempt to retain its employees through the
critical transition period that had begun that summer. Most of Sirrom's
employees receive a significant portion of their compensation through the
issuance of stock options. In late September, all outstanding options were
significantly under water, meaning that the fair market value of Sirrom common
stock was significantly less than the exercise price. As a result, the options
offered these employees no economic incentive to continue their employment. In
addition, none of these employees were subject to employment or non-compete
agreements to ensure that they would remain with Sirrom. After reviewing these
issues in detail and conferring with outside compensation consultants, the
board approved the repricing of all employee options. The exercise price of the
new options was set at the higher of the closing price on September 25, 1998,
the date of Sirrom's press release, and October 5, 1998. These options
required the employee to forfeit 15% of the shares granted under the previously
issued options and are restricted from being exercised and sold, absent a
change of control, for a period of one year from issuance.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the repricing
of options to purchase Sirrom common stock held by Sirrom's executive officers.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Sirrom's directors, executive
officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Sirrom Common
Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Such
directors, officers, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC
regulations to furnish Sirrom with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on Sirrom's review of the copies of such forms furnished to
Sirrom, or written representations from certain reporting persons, Sirrom
believes that during fiscal 1998 its officers, directors, and greater than ten
percent beneficial owners were in compliance with all applicable filing
requirements, except one transaction involving Mr. Miller whereby a Form 4 was
filed late and which was corrected by the filing of an amended Form 4.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

information as of February 8, 1999 on the Sirrom common stock for each current

SELLING SHAREHOLDER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 11th day of December, 1998, by and
among SIRROM CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Tennessee corporation ("Sirrom"), and the
undersigned (the "Shareholder").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Shareholder included 66,000 shares of Sirrom Common Stock
owned by him (the "Shares") in a registration statement on Form N-2, File No.
333-46051 (the "Registration Statement") that was prepared and filed by Sirrom
Capital Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
WHEREAS, Sirrom and the Shareholder desire to enter into this Selling
Shareholder Indemnification Agreement subject to certain conditions as set forth
below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Indemnification.
(a) Sirrom will indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
he may become subject under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act") and applicable state securities laws insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, including the final prospectus contained therein and any
amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which they were made or arise out of any
violation by Sirrom of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or state securities law applicable to Sirrom and relating
to action or inaction required of Sirrom in connection with the Registration
Statement; and will reimburse the Shareholder for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by him (including reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees)
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 1(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of Sirrom (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor
shall Sirrom be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in connection with the Registration Statement, final prospectus, and
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
Registration Statement by or on behalf of the Shareholder.
<PAGE> 2
(b) Promptly after receipt by Shareholder under this Section 1
of notice of the commencement of any action or knowledge of a claim that would,
if asserted, give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder, Shareholder will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Sirrom under this Section 1,
notify Sirrom in writing of the commencement thereof or knowledge thereof and
Sirrom shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Shareholder so
desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
parties. The failure to notify Sirrom promptly of the commencement of any such
action or of the knowledge of any such claim, to the extent such failure is
prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve Sirrom of any
liability to Shareholder under this Section 1, but the omission so to notify
Sirrom will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to Shareholder
otherwise than under this Section.
(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is due
in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be
unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, Sirrom shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred (including legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
same) by Shareholder. In determining the amount of contribution to which
Shareholder is entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits
received by Sirrom and Shareholder from the offering of the Shares, Sirrom's and
Shareholder's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter
with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate in the circumstances. Shareholder will, promptly after receipt of
notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against Shareholder in
respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 1,
notify Sirrom, but the omission to so notify Sirrom shall not relieve it from
any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise.
2. Underwriting Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed to amend
or alter in any manner that certain Underwriting Agreement dated March 5, 1998
between Sirrom, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, The Robinson-Humphrey Company
LLC, J.C. Bradford & Co., Suntrust Equitable Securities Corporation, and the
Selling Shareholders (the "Underwriting Agreement"), pursuant to which Sirrom is
entitled to indemnification from Shareholder in certain circumstances.
3. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
4. Consent: Changes. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not
be modified or amended, except with the written consent of Sirrom and the
Shareholder. None of the terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived
except in writing by the person so waiving.
5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.
6. Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted
to be given in respect of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or
made if delivered personally,
