WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements of Waterside Capital Corporation (the Company) are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim
financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures
accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP
are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of financial
statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period's
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that
ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim financial statements
and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2) Description of Business
The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13,
1993 and is a closed-end investment company licensed by the Small Business
Administration (the SBA) as a Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC).
The Company makes equity investments in, and provides loans to, small
business concerns to finance their growth, expansion and development. Under
applicable SBA regulations, the Company is restricted to investing only in
qualified small business concerns as contemplated by the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958.
(3) Investments
Investments are carried at fair value, as determined by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company, through its Board of
Directors, has adopted the Model Valuation Policy, as published by the SBA,
in Appendix III to Part 107 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(the Policy). The Policy, among other things, presumes that loans and
investments are acquired with the intent that they are to be held until
maturity or disposed of in the ordinary course of business. Except for
interest-bearing securities which are convertible into common stock,
interest-bearing securities are valued in an amount not greater than cost,
with unrealized depreciation being recognized when value is impaired. Equity
securities of private companies are presumed to represent cost unless the
performance of the portfolio company, positive or negative, indicates
otherwise in accordance with the Policy guidelines. The fair value of equity
securities of publicly traded companies are generally valued at their quoted
market price discounted due to the investment size or market liquidity
concerns and the for the effect of restrictions on the sale of such
securities.
WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discounts can range from 0% to 40% for investment size and market liquidity
concerns. Actual liquidity discounts in the portfolio at December 31, 1999
ranged from 15% to 40%. Discounts for restriction on the sale of investments
are 15% in accordance with the provisions of the Policy. The Company
maintains custody of its investments as permitted by the Investment Company
Act of 1940.
Investments consist primarily of preferred stock obtained from and loans
made to portfolio companies under SBIC investment and loan regulations. The
financial statements include securities valued at $24,342,250 and
$32,800,629 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 (89.8% and 93.2% of
assets), respectively. The valuation process completed by management
includes estimates made by management and the Executive Committee in the
absence of readily ascertainable market values. These estimated values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the securities existed, and those differences could be material.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
ITEM 1. Financial Statements
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
Of Operations
o General
Waterside Capital Corporation ("Waterside" or the "Company") is a
specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia. The
Company invests in equity and debt securities to finance the
growth, expansion and modernization of small private businesses,
primarily in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The Company was formed in
1993 as the Eastern Virginia Small Business Investment
Corporation. Through June 30, 1996, the Company operated as a
development stage company focused primarily on preparation to
commence operations. The Company was licensed in 1996 by the Small
Business Administration (SBA) as a Small Business Investment
Company (SBIC) under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. In
October 1996, the Company made its first portfolio investment. In
January 1998 the Company completed its Initial Public Offering
(IPO) to raise additional equity to support its growth strategy.
The majority of the Company's operating income is derived from
dividend and interest income on portfolio investments and
application and processing fees related to investment
originations. The remaining portion of the Company's operating
income comes from interest earned on cash equivalents. The
Company's operating expenses primarily consist of interest expense
on borrowings made to fund its portfolio growth, payroll and other
expenses incidental to operations. Waterside currently has 8 full
time employees and 2 offices from which it operates in Norfolk and
Richmond, Virginia.
o Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 1999, and December
31, 1998
For the three months ended December 31, 1999, total operating
income was $990,000 as compared to the $593,000 reported during
the same quarter of 1998, a 67% increase. The increase in
operating income is due to additional dividend, interest and fee
income generated as a result of the growth in the Company's
investment portfolio over the past year. The 1999 operating income
consisted of dividends of $535,000, interest on loans of $202,000,
fee income of $246,000, and interest on cash equivalents of
$7,000.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1999 were $654,000, consisting of interest expense of $268,000,
salary and benefits of $211,000, legal and accounting expenses of
$50,000, and other operating expenses of $125,000. These expenses
compared to the $394,000 reported for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, consisting of interest expense of $105,000,
salary and benefits of $150,000, legal and accounting expenses of
$29,000, and other operating expenses of $110,000. The significant
increase in interest expense for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1998, is due to
the increase in borrowings to fund the growth in the Company's
investment portfolio. Net operating income of $393,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1999 compared favorably to the
$221,000 reported for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
The Company recorded realized gains on investments, net of taxes,
of $986,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1999. The net
unrealized appreciation on investments, net of taxes, increased to
$1,006,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1999 as compared
to the $24,000 decrease in the comparable period of 1998. The
significant increase in realized gain on investments and change in
unrealized appreciation on investments is due primarily to the
increase in market price of our holdings in the Netplex Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:NTPL) which saw its per-share market price improve
from $2.35 per share to $11.375 during the quarter. Net of taxes,
total realized and unrealized gains and investments added $2.0
million to our stockholders' equity or $1.26 per share during the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.
Comparison of Six months ended December 31, 1999, and December 31,
1998
For the six months ended December 31, 1999, total operating income
was $1,820,000 compared to $1,271,000 for the same period of 1998.
The increase in operating income is due to additional dividend,
interest and fee income generated as a result of the growth in the
Company's investment portfolio. The operating income for the six
months ended December 31, 1999, consisted of dividends of
$1,040,000, interest on loans of $394,000, fee income of $356,000,
and interest on cash equivalents of $30,000.
Total operating expenses for the six months ended December 31,
1999 were $1,200,000, consisting of $493,000 in interest expense,
$429,000 in salary and benefits, $74,000 in legal and accounting,
and $204,000 in other operating expenses. These expenses compared
to the $716,000 reported for the six months ended December 31,
1998, consisting of $104,000 in interest expense, $376,000 in
salary and benefits, $44,000 in legal and accounting, and $192,000
in other operating expenses. The significant increase in interest
expense for the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the
six months ended December 31, 1998, is due to the increase in
borrowings to fund the growth in the Company's investment
portfolio. Net operating income of $750,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1999, compared favorably to the $528,000
reported for the six months ended December 31, 1998.
The Company recorded realized gains on investments, net of taxes,
of $986,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 as compared
to $87,000 in 1998. The net unrealized appreciation on
investments, net of taxes, increased to $778,000 in the six months
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the $413,000 decrease in
the comparable period of 1998. The significant increase in
realized gains on investments and change in unrealized
appreciation on investments for the six months ended December 31,
1999, is a direct result of the holdings in the Netplex Group,
Inc. previously discussed.
o Financial Condition, Liquidity And Capital Resources
For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company funded
$8.7 million in investments consisting of $4.5 million in four new
portfolio companies and $4.2 million in additional investments
made in existing investees. To partially fund these new
investments, the Company borrowed $3.7 million against its bank
lines of credit during the six months ended December 31, 1999. The
Company also received $1,024,000 in proceeds from the repayment of
stockholders' notes receivable and $3,185,000 from the repayment
or redemption of certain of its investments during the six months
ended December 31, 1999.
Net asset value per common share increased to $11.13 per share at
December 31, 1999 from $8.98 per share at September 30, 1999, of
which $1.51 per share ($2.4 million) resulted from operations and
$0.64 per share resulted from the repayment of stockholders' notes
receivable of $1,024,000.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999, cash provided by
operating activities was $215,000 as compared to the $489,000
provided during the six months ended December 31, 1998. Although
net operating income increased for the six months ended December
31, 1999, the income taxes on realized gain on investments also
increased and the changes in assets and liabilities from operating
activities have resulted in the decrease in cash provided by
operating activities. The Company used $4,501,000 in investing
activities during the six months ended December 31, 1999, as
compared to the $6,957,000 used for the six months ended December
31, 1998. The decrease is primarily due to $2,206,000 of
repayments of both stockholder notes and investee loans. Cash
flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended
December 31, 1999, were $3,700,000 compared to $5,850,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 1998. Both amounts resulted from net
borrowings to finance the growth in the Company's investment
portfolio.
o Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company's business activities contain elements of risk. The
Company considers the principal types of market risk to be as
follows: risk of lending and investing in small privately owned
companies, valuation risk of portfolio, risk of illiquidity of
portfolio investments and the competitive market for investment
opportunities. The Company considers the management of risk
essential to conducting its businesses and to maintaining
profitability. Accordingly, the Company's risk management systems
and procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Company's
risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually
monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative
and information systems and other policies and programs.
The Company manages its market risk by maintaining a portfolio of
equity interests that is designed to be diverse by industry,
geographic area, size of individual investment and borrower. The
Company is exposed to a degree of risk of public market price
fluctuations as three of the Company's twenty-three investments
are in thinly traded, small public companies, whose stock prices
have been volatile. The other twenty investments are in private
business enterprises. Since there is typically no public market
for the equity interests of the small companies in which the
Company invests, the valuation of the equity interests in the
Company's portfolio of private business enterprises is subject to
the estimate of the Company's Executive Committee. In the absence
of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of
the Company's portfolio of equity interests may differ
significantly from the values that would be placed on the
portfolio if a ready market for the equity interests existed. Any
changes in estimated value are recorded in the Company's statement
of operations as "Net unrealized gains (losses)." Each
hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in value of the Company's
portfolio of equity interest of $24.8 million at December 31,
1999, would have resulted in unrealized gains or losses and would
have changed net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from
operations for the quarter significantly.
The Company's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is
regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics
of assets and liabilities. The Company utilizes various methods to
assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect of
interest income net of interest expense, the market value of net
assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the
Company is insulated from any significant adverse effects from
changes in interest rates. Based on the model used for the
sensitivity of interest income net of interest expense, if the
balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to
alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical
immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have
affected net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from
operations by less than 4% over a six month horizon. Although
management believes that this measure is indicative of the
Company's sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust
for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of
the balance sheet and other business developments that could
affect net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that
actual results would not differ materially from the potential
outcome simulated by this estimate.
o The Year 2000
Although January 1, 2000 has passed and the Company is currently
unaware of any significant Year 2000 issues, circumstances related
to these issues could arise throughout the course of the current
year, and they could have a material adverse impact on the
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, the Company is currently unaware of any significant
Year 2000 issues related to its portfolio companies, however,
circumstances related to these issues could arise at one or more
of the portfolio companies that could have a material adverse
impact on the value of the Company's portfolio investments,
results of operations and financial condition.
o Forward-Looking Statements
Included in this report and other written and oral information by
management from time to time, including reports to shareholders,
quarterly and semi-annual shareholder letters, filings with the
Commission, news releases and investor presentations, are

geographic scope of its investments, the quality of the Company's
due diligence efforts, its financing plans, its vendors,

and other matters that reflect management's expectations as of the
date made.
Except for historical information, all of the statements,
expectations and assumptions contained in the foregoing are
"forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private

effect the Company's performance include: the risks associated
with the performance of the Company's portfolio companies,
dependencies on key employees, interest rates, the level of
economic activity, and competition, as well as other risks
described from time to time in the Company's filings with the
