PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial” and together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”, “our” or “we”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that originates loans to small business enterprises and owns limited service hospitality properties.

As a commercial lender, we originate loans to small business enterprises, primarily collateralized by first liens on real estate of the related business. Our loans are primarily to borrowers in the lodging industry but we also originate loans for commercial real estate and the service, retail and manufacturing industries.

In addition, our investments include the ownership of commercial properties in the lodging industry. At December 31, 2000, we owned 29 properties with a net book value of $65.7 million. In 1998 and 1999 we acquired 30 motel properties (the “Hotel Properties”) from Amerihost Properties, Inc. or its subsidiaries (“Amerihost”) for an aggregate purchase price of $73 million in a sale/leaseback transaction (the “Amerihost Transaction”). During the year ended December 31, 2000, we sold one of the properties for a net gain of $304,000.

We intend to enhance shareholder value by increasing our loan portfolio. Our Board of Trust Managers (the “Board”) has determined that it is preferable for us to focus on our lending operations. Accordingly, to the extent we can sell some or all of our limited service hospitality properties for greater than our cost investment in those properties, we intend to do so. In conjunction with this focus, we have amended our sale/leaseback agreement with Amerihost to allow for the orderly sale of up to eight properties over the next four years. See “Property Ownership.” In connection with the amended sale/leaseback agreement, during the first quarter of 2001, we sold two properties for a net gain of approximately $500,000.

We intend to accomplish our goal of maximizing shareholder value by maintaining long-term growth in cash available for distribution to our shareholders. We currently have three principal strategies to achieve this objective: First, we anticipate increasing the funds from operations (“FFO”) generated from our investment portfolio by increasing the size of our portfolio. Our affiliate, PMC Capital, Inc. (“PMC Capital”), identifies loan origination opportunities for us pursuant to an investment management agreement. We benefit from the established customer base of PMC Capital and their relationships with national hotel and motel franchisers. Our relationship with PMC Capital assists us in finding a consistent flow of lending opportunities. Second, we seek cost-effective financing to maximize our growth through structured financing and securitization arrangements and other funding sources. In December 2000 we completed our first co-securitization with PMC Capital. See “Structured Financing and Securitization Transactions.” By using a joint venture structure, we reduced the percentage of up-front costs, we reduced the negative impact of having proceeds from the sale being initially invested in short-term (lower yielding) investments, and we completed the securitization transaction when it may not have been otherwise feasible due to high concentration and limited diversification of our loan portfolio on a stand-alone basis. See “Operations —Secured Financing Transactions.” Third, as detailed below, we intend to continue selectively selling our commercial real estate, such real estate sales are dependent upon the concurrence of the lessee.

Securitization is a technique that a lender uses to obtain financing so that it can fund additional loans. In a securitization, the lender is required to sell its loans to a separate entity and that entity issues the debt collateralized by the sold loans. These entities are known as special purpose entities or SPEs. Since both our loans securitized and the cost of the debt to the SPE’s security holder(s) are at a fixed-rate, a securitization takes away the risk that our interest cost could increase while our loans rates remain fixed. This matching of interest rates results in our receiving a more constant net amount of cash from the securitized loans. In addition, the way that the SPE’s security holders are paid their principal is based on us collecting the principal on the sold loans from our borrowers. Therefore, we reduce the exposure to having prepayment of our loans causing us to have to reinvest in lower yielding short-term investments since the prepaid principal must be used to pay down the obligation to the SPE’s security holder(s). Just as is the case with our other loans, to the extent the principal balance of a loan is written-off,

it will have a negative impact on our cash flow and our operating income. Since the securitized loans are recorded as sold for purposes of our financial statement presentation, our loans receivable at December 31, 2000 are significantly less than at December 31, 1999. Since the cash flow from these sold loans in future periods will have an impact on our profitability, we provide information on both our loan portfolio retained (the “Retained Portfolio”) and combined with the loans securitized and sold (the “Aggregate Portfolio”) throughout this Form 10-K.

We were formed on June 4, 1993 pursuant to the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act and commenced operations on December 28, 1993. As a REIT, we must distribute at least 95% of our REIT taxable income to shareholders. See “Tax Status.” Our investments are managed pursuant to investment management agreements with PMC Advisers, Ltd. and its subsidiary (together, “PMC Advisers” or the “Investment Manager”), indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PMC Capital. See “Loan Originations” and “Investment Manager.” We generate income from interest earned on our loan portfolio, other related fee income from our lending activities and rental income from property ownership. We operate from the headquarters of the Investment Manager in Dallas, Texas, and through its loan production offices in Georgia, Arizona and Missouri.

Lending Activities

We are primarily a commercial lender that originates loans to small business enterprises that are principally collateralized by first liens on the real estate of the related business. The Investment Manager receives loan referrals from PMC Capital which solicits loan applications on our behalf from borrowers, through personal contacts, internet referrals, attendance at trade shows, meetings and correspondence with local chambers of commerce, direct mailings, advertisements in trade publications and other marketing methods. We are not responsible for any compensation to PMC Capital for loan referrals. In addition, the Investment Manager has generated a significant percentage of loans through referrals from lawyers, accountants, real estate and loan brokers and existing borrowers. In some instances, we may make payments to non-affiliated individuals who assist in generating loan applications, with such payments generally not exceeding 1% of the principal amount of the loan.

From December 28, 1993 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2000, we funded an aggregate principal amount of approximately $236.1 million consisting of 212 loans. Our lending function consists primarily of making loans to borrowers who operate in the lodging industry. During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, we originated and funded $22.5 million, $17.5 million and $43.0 million of loans. During 2000, our loan originations increased as a result of an increased availability of funds from our revolving credit facility and a decrease in competition from conduit lending programs. The decrease in loan originations during 1999 was largely a result of increased competition in the hospitality lending industry and the scheduled reduction of availability under our revolving credit facility during the latter half of 1999 which was not remedied until November 1999. See “Economy and Competition.” Our loan origination volume during the fourth quarter of 2000 was $10.9 million, which was our highest quarterly loan volume since the second quarter of 1998. Our commitments to fund new loans have increased to $22.2 million at December 31, 2000 from $7.9 million at December 31, 1999. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

As of December 31, 2000, our Retained Portfolio outstanding was $66.4 million ($65.6 million after reductions for deferred commitment fees and loan loss reserves). The Retained Portfolio does not include the principal balance remaining on the $55.6 million of loans securitized on December 18, 2000 (the “Securitized Loans”). See “Structured Financing and Securitization Transactions – 2000 Loan Sale and Securitization.” Included in the Retained Portfolio are approximately $18 million of loans which are not encumbered by our structured financing transactions and to the extent they meet the criteria for a securitization could be part of a securitization in the future. The Aggregate Portfolio outstanding was $122.0 million at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the weighted average contractual interest rate of our Retained Portfolio and our Aggregate Portfolio was approximately 10.4% and 10.0%, respectively. The weighted average contractual interest rate does not include the effects of the accretion of commitment fees on funded loans or prepayment fees earned. The annualized average yields on our Retained Portfolio includes all loan fees and prepayment fees earned and is reduced by the provision established for loan losses. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the annualized average yields on our Retained Portfolio were approximately 10.8%, 11.8% and 13.1%, respectively.

The following table sets forth the interest rates we charged on loans originated for the five years ended December 31, 2000:

During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, we closed 18 loans and 10 loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 23% and 10% of our retained loan portfolio consisted of loans on properties in Texas and Maryland, respectively. No other state had a concentration of 10% or greater of the Retained Portfolio at December 31, 2000. Our Retained Portfolio was approximately 95% and 97% concentrated in the lodging industry at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

During August 2000, we foreclosed on the collateral securing a loan that had an aggregate principal balance outstanding, including costs and expenses related to the foreclosure, of approximately $1.2 million on the date of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2000, we were in the process of liquidating this collateral. The previously established loan loss provision related to this loan of $600,000 was netted against the outstanding principal of the loan and we established a value of $581,000 for the underlying assets of this loan at the time of foreclosure. Prior to December 31, 2000, we received net proceeds of approximately $86,000 as liquidation of part of the ancillary collateral relating to this loan. Accordingly, the value of the asset was $495,000 at December 31, 2000. During February 2001, we financed the sale of the asset to an independent operator. The sales price was $760,000 of which we received $150,000 in cash (before costs) and originated a note receivable of $610,000 with an 8% interest rate.

As of December 31, 2000, we had no loans that were greater than 31 days delinquent. Based on an evaluation by management of our outstanding portfolio, one loan has been identified as a potential “problem loan.” See “Delinquency and Collections” for a description of our loan servicing procedures.

When originating a loan, we charge a commitment fee. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, we collected commitment fees of $547,000 and $41,000, respectively. These fees are deferred and are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the related loan. We had approximately $693,000 and $1.5 million in net unamortized deferred commitment fees at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Approximately $700,000 of previously deferred commitment fees reduced the basis of the loans sold as part of the securitization and sale of loans completed in December 2000.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of the principal balance outstanding on our loan portfolio at December 31, 2000 to borrowers involved in the lodging (national franchises and independent hospitality properties) and commercial real estate industries:

Property Ownership

On June 30, 1998, we acquired 26 Hotel Properties with a total of 1,575 rooms for an aggregate purchase price of $62.2 million. During March 1999, we acquired four additional Hotel Properties with a total of 259 rooms for an aggregate purchase price of $10.8 million. Pursuant to sale/leaseback agreements, we leased the 30 Hotel Properties to Amerihost Inns, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amerihost, for an initial 10-year period, with two renewal options of five years each. Amerihost guarantees the lease payment obligation of Amerihost Inns. The aggregate amount of the lease payments to be received by us for the Hotel Properties was $7.3 million per year (“Base Rent”) at the inception of the lease. The Base Rent is subject to consumer price index (“CPI”) increases up to a maximum of two percent per year beginning after the third year, plus 2% of gross revenues as defined in the master lease agreement set aside for capital expenditure replacements. During June 2000 we sold one of our Hotel Properties for cash proceeds of $3.1 million resulting in a gain of $304,000.

Our subsidiaries assumed debt related to each of the four Hotel Properties acquired in March 1999 that aggregated $6.9 million at the time of acquisition. The notes payable have a weighted average interest rate of 8.0%, each loan has a 20-year amortization period and the remaining maturities range from 14 to 19 years. The assumed notes have restrictive provisions which provide substantial penalties if paid prior to maturity and two of the four assumed notes are guaranteed by PMC Commercial.

On January 24, 2001 PMC Commercial and Amerihost amended their existing lease agreement relating to the Hotel Properties. This lease modification should allow us to dispose of up to eight properties prior to June 30, 2004. In addition, the amendment modified the lease term extensions relating to the properties remaining in our portfolio.

Amerihost has the option to either purchase or facilitate the purchase of eight properties. The sale prices are set forth in the amended agreement. The stipulated price for each property exceeds our cost basis in the Hotel Properties. To the extent the purchases are not completed in an agreed upon time frame, the amended lease agreement provides for rent increases on our remaining Hotel Properties.

Pursuant to the amended agreement, during the first quarter of 2001, we sold two properties to independent operators for cash. The sales will provide a net gain of approximately $500,000 during the first quarter of 2001. A third sale is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2001.

We are also evaluating the sale of certain additional properties with Amerihost in separate transactions.

Structured Financing and Securitization Transactions

We have, from time to time, transferred portions of our loan portfolio into SPEs to generate cash proceeds. These proceeds have been used to fund additional loans. These types of loan sales are commonly referred to as securitizations or structured loan sales and are either sold to purchasers (for a securitization) or notes payable are issued (for a structured financing) in the asset backed securities market.

Our asset established in conjunction with a securitization, the retained interest in transferred assets, is determined based on the present value of estimated future excess cash flows that we anticipate will be received from the sold loans. The estimated future excess cash flows are calculated based on management’s assumptions concerning, among other things, anticipated defaults and loan losses, anticipated prepayment speeds and discount rates. The retained interest in transferred assets (“Retained Interest”) consists of required overcollateralization (i.e., retaining a portion of the sold loans), cash reserve requirements and an interest-only strip receivable (the “IO Receivable”). We retain a portion of the default and prepayment risk associated with the Retained Interest which can be affected by any of the following:

		•		Any losses or prepayments on our sold loans will have a negative effect on our future cash flows.
		•		Actual defaults and prepayments may vary from our assumptions, possibly to a material degree.
		•		Faster than anticipated prepayments of principal or loan losses will decrease the fair value attributed to the IO Receivable.
		•		Slower than anticipated prepayments of principal or loan losses will increase the fair value attributed to the IO Receivable.
		•		The effect on our yield due to principal prepayments on the sold loans occurring at a rate that is faster (or slower) than the rate anticipated in the period immediately following the completion of the securitization will not be entirely offset by a subsequent like reduction (or increase) in the rate of principal payments.

The weighted average lives of the underlying securitized loans will also be affected by the amount and timing of delinquencies, defaults and recoveries, if any, on defaulted underlying securitized loans. In addition, we are required to deposit substantial amounts of the cash flows generated by our interests in our securitizations (“restricted cash”) into reserve funds that are pledged to the security holders.

We regularly measure our default, prepayment and other assumptions against the actual performance of securitized receivables. If we were to determine, as a result of such regular review or otherwise, that we underestimated (or overestimated) defaults and/or prepayments, or that any other material assumptions were inaccurate, we would adjust the carrying value of our Retained Interest.

Although we believe that we have made reasonable assumptions as to the future cash flows of the 2000 securitization transaction, actual rates of default or prepayments may differ from those assumed and other assumptions may be required to be revised based upon future events. We are required to enter into agreements (the “Credit Enhancement Agreements”) that govern the assets and the flow of funds in and out of the 2000 Joint Venture (as defined below). Generally, the Credit Enhancement Agreements contain specified limits on the delinquency, default and loss rates on the receivables. If, at any measurement date, the delinquency, default or loss rate were to exceed the specified limits, provisions of the Credit Enhancement Agreement would automatically increase the level of credit enhancement requirements. During the period in which the specified delinquency, default or loss rate was exceeded, excess cash flow, if any, would be used to fund the increased credit enhancement levels instead of being distributed to us, which would reduce our cash flow. We have never had a reduction of cash flow as a result of an increased credit enhancement requirement associated with our prior structured financings.

Securitization of loans during 2000:

On December 18, 2000, we completed our first co-securitization transaction with PMC Capital. We completed the securitized sale of a pool of fixed-rate loans through a private placement (the “2000 Joint Venture”). Both PMC Commercial and PMC Capital contributed loans to the 2000 Joint Venture. The 2000 Joint Venture issued approximately $74.5 million of its 2000 Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes (the “2000 Notes”) of which approximately $49.5 million (the “2000 PMCT Notes”) was allocated to PMC Commercial based on its ownership percentage in the 2000 Joint Venture. The ownership percentage is determined by dividing the principal balance outstanding on our loans sold by the principal balance outstanding on both our loans and the loans sold by PMC Capital. At inception of the 2000 Joint Venture, PMC Commercial owned a 66.5% limited partnership interest in the 2000 Joint Venture with the remainder being owned by PMC Capital. Our investment in the 2000 Joint Venture will be reduced based on the principal payments received on the underlying loans contributed by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. The 2000 PMCT Notes were issued at par and have a stated maturity of July 2024. The 2000 PMCT Notes were issued with an annual interest rate of 7.28% and were originally collateralized by approximately $55.6 million of loans sold by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. The 2000 Notes were rated “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service. This transaction has been accounted for as a sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 125 and accordingly, we recorded a gain of approximately $1,117,000 in connection with this transaction.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2000 PMCT Notes (approximately $49.5 million prior to payment of issuance costs of approximately $0.4 million and the funding of approximately $1.6 million for a reserve fund held by the trustee as collateral) were distributed to PMC Commercial. Our share of the profits from the 2000 Joint Venture will be based upon the cash flow received from the underlying loans contributed by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. PMC Capital, through PMC Advisers, is the servicer for all loans held by the 2000 Joint Venture.

The terms of the 2000 Notes provide that the partners of the 2000 Joint Venture are not liable for any payments on the 2000 Notes. Accordingly, if the 2000 Joint Venture fails to pay the 2000 Notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the 2000 Notes is against the assets of the 2000 Joint Venture. Accordingly, we have no obligation to pay the 2000 Notes, nor do the holders of the 2000 Notes have any recourse against our assets. PMCT Commercial and PMC Capital have entered into an indemnification agreement regarding the performance of their respective loans sold to the 2000 Joint Venture. To the extent that poor performance by one of the company’s sold loans (the “Underperforming Company”) is pervasive enough to cause the other company (the “Performing Company”) to not receive cash flow that it otherwise would have received, then the Underperforming Company must make the Performing Company whole. If the cash flow reduction is considered to be temporary, then interest will be paid as compensation to the Performing Company. If the reduction of cash flows is deemed permanent, the balance of reduction to cash flows must be paid to the Performing Company by the Underperforming Company. Based on our present cash flow assumptions, including stress test analysis of increasing the anticipated losses on each of the loan pools, it does not appear that the loans sold by PMC Commercial will cause any permanent cash flow reductions to PMC Capital nor will the loans sold by PMC Capital cause any permanent cash flow reductions to PMC Commercial.

Structured financing of loans during 1998:

In June 1998, PMC Commercial Trust, Ltd. 1998-1, a Delaware limited partnership (the “1998 Partnership”), completed a private placement (the “1998 Private Placement”) of $66.1 million of its Fixed Rate Loan Backed Notes, Series 1998-1 (the “1998 Notes”). We own, directly or indirectly, all of the partnership interests in the 1998 Partnership. The 1998 Notes, issued at par, have a stated maturity of May 1, 2019, bear interest at the rate of 6.37% per annum, and were collateralized by an initial amount of approximately $71.9 million of loans we contributed to the 1998 Partnership. At December 31, 2000, approximately $42.8 million of those loans remained outstanding. The loans sold to the 1998 Partnership are serviced through PMC Advisers. In connection with this transaction, the 1998 Notes were given a rating of “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The terms of the 1998 Notes provide that the partners of the 1998 Partnership are not liable for any payment on the 1998 Notes. Accordingly, if the 1998 Partnership fails to pay the 1998 Notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the 1998 Notes is against the assets of the

1998 Partnership. We, therefore, have no obligation to pay the 1998 Notes nor do the holders of the 1998 Notes have any recourse against our assets. We utilized these proceeds to help fund the acquisition of the Hotel Properties. The 1998 Partnership’s assets consist solely of the loans acquired from us, funds held in collateral accounts related to collections on the loans and a required cash reserve account. The 1998 Partnership conducts no business activity other than to make periodic principal and interest payments on the outstanding 1998 Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the 1998 Notes outstanding at December 31, 2000 was $ 38.3 million. This transaction has been accounted for as a structured financing in accordance with SFAS No. 125.

Policies with Respect to Certain Activities

The following is a discussion of our current policies with respect to investments, financing, affiliate transactions and certain other activities. These policies may be amended or waived from time to time at the discretion of our Board without a vote of our shareholders.

Our principal business objective is to maximize shareholder value by maintaining long-term growth in cash available for distribution to our shareholders. We intend to pursue this objective by continuing to originate loans or, to a more limited extent, through the sale of hospitality or commercial properties previously held for long-term ownership. Thereby, we seek to maximize current and long-term availability of funds derived from operations and the value of our assets. Our policy is to originate loans or sell assets where we believe opportunities exist for acceptable investment returns. No assurance can be given that our investment objectives will be attained or that the value of our assets will not decrease.

At the time of our initial public offering in 1993, we had established a policy that 75% of our assets were to be used generally to fund loans to small businesses. However, in May 1998, we amended our investment policies to remove this restriction and to permit us to invest in real estate assets. At that time, hospitality properties, particularly with respect to smaller, limited service motels operated under national franchises offered attractive returns. We will continue to evaluate real estate assets to determine if favorable opportunities exist for the acquisition of real estate assets at attractive returns at prices at or below replacement cost. However, at the present time, based on the current market, we believe that opportunities to purchase hospitality properties are not as profitable as they had been as a result of the inability to obtain reasonable non-recourse financing. Accordingly, we have commenced a program to assist us in an orderly disposition of some of our currently owned hospitality properties. At the present time, we only anticipate selling our properties if the net sales price is greater than our total investment in the property. In the future, we may continue to acquire additional lodging or commercial properties or portfolios of such properties, to the extent appropriate financing is available, thereby deriving revenues from fixed leases and participating in increased revenue from those properties.

Because we are independent of the lessees and operators of our lodging properties, we have flexibility with respect to acquiring and leasing additional hospitality real estate.

Investment Policies

Investments in Real Estate Mortgages
While we lend money secured by real estate, we do not generally buy and sell existing real estate mortgages in our normal course of business. However, we may invest in real estate mortgages if favorable opportunities develop. Our investment in mortgages may be either in first mortgages or junior mortgages and may or may not be insured by a governmental agency. See “Underwriting Criteria —Lending Operations.”

Investment in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate
While we intend to emphasize funding loans to small businesses, we may also invest in the ownership of real estate and may invest in other real estate interests consistent with our qualification as a REIT. Management expects to pursue this investment objective primarily through first mortgages on real estate or direct ownership of properties. Investment activities are not limited to any geographic area or product type or to a specified percentage of our assets.

Although we are not currently doing so, we may also participate with other entities in property ownership, through joint ventures or other types of common ownership. Equity investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness which have priority over our equity interests.

Securities of, or Interests in, Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities and Other Issuers
Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we may invest in securities of entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over such entities. However, we do not currently have any intentions to do so. (See “Tax Status.”)

Periodic Review of Assets
We regularly evaluate our investment portfolio and may, from time to time, dispose of assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. We reserve the right to dispose of any property if we determine the disposition of such property is in our best interest.

Financing Policies

General
We will not, without the approval of a majority of our shareholders, incur a borrowing or issue preferred shares of beneficial interest (“Preferred Shares”) if, as a result, our total liability for money borrowed would exceed 200% of our shareholders’ equity or the total amount of borrowings and obligations in respect of outstanding Preferred Shares would exceed 300% of common shareholders’ equity, determined as of the time of each borrowing or issuance. For purposes of determining compliance with these limitations, the 2000 PMCT Notes are not included as debt.

We may from time to time re-evaluate our debt policy in light of factors which include, but are not limited to:

		•		current economic conditions,
		•		relative costs of debt and equity capital,
		•		change in our market capitalization, and
		•		acquisition opportunities.

Our future indebtedness, which may be unsecured or may be secured by either mortgage loans or other interest in properties, may take several forms, including:

		•		bank borrowings,
		•		purchase money obligations to the sellers of properties,
		•		assumed indebtedness,
		•		publicly or privately placed debt instruments,
		•		financing from institutional investors or other lenders, or
		•		mortgage debt.

Real Estate
As a general policy, with respect to our real estate ownership activity, we generally maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to the lower of cost or appraised value for debt against our properties of no greater than 70% at the time of borrowing. The recourse to the holders of our property debt may be to all or any part of our properties or may be limited to the particular property to which the debt relates.

Subject to any contractual restrictions, the proceeds from any borrowings may be used for the payment of distributions, for working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions of new properties.

Equity
Our Board has authorized a share repurchase program for up to 500,000 of our outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). The shares may be bought from time to time in the open market or pursuant to negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2000, we had acquired 105,250 shares under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $1,022,000, including commissions. Through February 28, 2001, we have purchased an additional 26,200 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $246,000, including commissions.

In the event our Board determines to raise additional equity capital, our Board has the authority, without shareholder approval within limits described above, to issue additional Common Shares or Preferred Shares in any manner, and on such terms and for such consideration, it deems appropriate, including in exchange for property. Any such issuance will be subject to the provisions of the Texas REIT rules. Existing shareholders would have no preemptive right to purchase such shares in any offering, and any such offering might cause dilution of individual shareholders’ investments.

Other Policies
We may dispose of properties that are not maximizing shareholder value or are not performing up to our standards. We have historically operated, and intend to continue operating, in a manner that will not subject us to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We have not, and currently have no future plans to (1) invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control over such issuers, (2) underwrite securities of other issuers, or (3) actively trade in loans or other investments. Our policies with respect to such activities may be reviewed and modified by our Board of Trust Managers from time-to-time without a vote of our shareholders.

From time-to-time we may issue or exchange securities for property ownership, as warranted.

Underwriting Criteria —Lending Operations

We primarily originate loans to small businesses that (i) exceed the net worth, asset, income, number of employees or other limitations applicable to the SBA programs utilized by PMC Capital, (ii) require funds in excess of $1.1 million without regard to SBA eligibility requirements, or (iii) require funds which exceeds PMC Capital’s non-committed funds and which otherwise meet our underwriting criteria. Such loans (“Primary Investments”) are primarily collateralized by first liens on real estate of the related business, are personally guaranteed by the principals of the entities obligated on the loans and are subject to our underwriting criteria.

The underwriting criteria applied by us to evaluate prospective borrowers generally requires such borrowers to (i) provide first-lien real estate mortgages not exceeding 70% of the lesser of appraised value or cost, (ii) provide proven management capabilities, (iii) meet historical or projected debt coverage tests determined on a case-by-case basis as described below, and (iv) have principals with satisfactory credit histories and provide personal guarantees, as applicable. We evaluate a number of factors to determine the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower and the amount of required debt coverage for the borrower, including:

	•		the components and value of the borrower’s collateral (for example, real estate, equipment or marketable securities);
	•		the ease with which the collateral can be liquidated;
	•		the industry and competitive environment in which the borrower operates;
	•		the financial strength of the guarantors;
	•		the existence of any secondary repayment sources; and
	•		the existence of a franchise relationship.

Loan Portfolio Characteristics

As a result of the application of our underwriting criteria, at December 31, 2000 our loan portfolio had the following characteristics:

	•		Loan proceeds utilized by borrowers to acquire real estate and/or construct improvements thereon (the “Real Estate Loans”) are secured by first liens on such real estate or improvements thereon. Generally, each of the related loans used to acquire furniture, fixtures and equipment for certain of such real estate (the “FFE Loans”) are secured by a first lien on the furniture, fixtures and equipment acquired with the proceeds of such loan and by a second lien on the real estate of the borrower under the related Real Estate Loans. Other additional properties of certain borrowers or guarantors have been used as additional collateral in some instances;
	•		The loans are generally guaranteed by the principal(s) of the borrowers; and,
	•		The loan amounts of Real Estate Loans (together with related FFE Loans) are generally equal to or less than 70% of the appraised value or cost of the primary collateral. When deemed necessary, credit enhancements, such as additional collateral, are obtained to assure a maximum 70% loan-to-value ratio.

Certain information regarding our portfolio as of December 31, 2000 is as follows:

	•		We had 63 loans in our Retained Portfolio with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $66.4 million.
	•		We had 100 loans in our Aggregate Portfolio with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $122.6 million.
	•		All loans were paying as agreed and no loans were more than 31 days delinquent.
	•		We have identified one loan in the amount of $1.4 million which was not 31 days delinquent at December 31, 2000 as a potential problem asset and have established a loan loss provision of $100,000 against such loan.
	•		Our borrowers are principally involved in the lodging industry (95%). The remainder of the Aggregate Portfolio is comprised of four loans in the commercial office rental market and one RV park.
	•		We have not loaned more than 10% of our assets to any single borrower.
	•		All loans provide for interest payments at fixed rates. The weighted average interest rate for our Retained Portfolio and our Aggregate Portfolio was 10.4% and 10.0%, respectively.
	•		All loans, other than bridge loans for the SBA Section 504 program (the “SBA 504 Program”), generally have original maturities ranging from five to 20 years. Substantially all Real Estate Loans entitle the borrower to prepay all or part of the principal amount, subject to a prepayment penalty.
	•		The weighted average remaining contractual maturity for our Retained Portfolio of loans not including amounts outstanding to be paid off pursuant to the SBA 504 program was approximately 10.7 years.
	•		The weighted average remaining contractual maturity for our Securitized Loans was approximately 16.1 years.

Delinquency and Collections

As of December 31, 2000, there were no loans greater than 31 days delinquent. Our collection procedures generally require that:

•

if a borrower fails to make a required monthly payment, the borrower will be notified by mail after 10 days and a late fee will generally be assessed;

	•		if the borrower has not responded or made full payment within 20 days after the loan becomes delinquent, a second notification letter will be sent. Following such notification, a collection officer will initiate telephone contact;
	•		if the borrower has not responded or made full payment within 30 days after the loan becomes delinquent, a third notification letter will be sent and follow-up telephone contact will be made by the collection officer; and
	•		in the event a borrower becomes 45 days delinquent, a ten day demand letter will be sent to the borrower requiring the loan be brought current within ten days. After the expiration of the ten-day period, we may proceed with legal action.

Our policy with respect to loans, which are in arrears as to interest payments for a period in excess of 60 days, is generally to discontinue the accrual of interest income. We will deliver a default notice and begin foreclosure and liquidation proceedings when we determine that pursuit of these remedies is the most appropriate course of action. We continually monitor loans for possible exposures to loss. In our analysis, we review various factors, including the value of the collateral securing the loan and the borrower’s payment history. Based upon this analysis, a loan loss reserve will be established as considered necessary.

SBA Section 504 Program

We participate as a private lender in the SBA 504 Program. Participation in the SBA 504 Program offers an opportunity to enhance the collateral status of loans by allowing us to originate loans with lower loan-to-value ratios. The SBA 504 Program provides assistance to small business enterprises in obtaining subordinated, long-term financing by guaranteeing debentures available through certified development companies for the purpose of acquiring land, building, machinery and equipment and for modernizing, renovating or restoring existing facilities and sites. A typical finance structure for an SBA 504 Program project would include a first mortgage covering 50% of the project cost from a private lender, a second mortgage obtained through the SBA 504 Program covering up to 40% of the project cost and a contribution of at least 10% of the project cost by the principals of the small business enterprise being assisted. We typically require at least 15% of the equity in a project to be contributed by the principals of the borrower. The SBA does not guarantee the first mortgage. Although the total sizes of projects utilizing the SBA 504 Program guarantees are unlimited, the maximum amount of subordinated debt in any individual project generally is $750,000 (or $1 million for certain projects). Typical project costs range in size from $500,000 to $3.0 million. A business eligible for financing pursuant to the SBA 504 Program must (i) be a for-profit corporation, partnership or proprietorship, (ii) not exceed $6 million in net worth, and (iii) not exceed $2 million in average net income (after Federal income taxes) for each of the previous two years. Financing pursuant to the SBA 504 Program cannot be used for working capital or inventory, consolidating or repaying debt or financing a plant not located in the United States or its possessions.

Borrower Advances

We finance some projects during the construction phase. At December 31, 2000, we were in the process of monitoring construction projects with approximately $12.7 million in total commitments, of which $4.6 million had been funded. As part of the monitoring process to verify that the borrower’s equity investment is utilized for its intended purpose, we hold a portion of the borrower’s equity investment. These funds are itemized by category (e.g., land purchase, construction, interest, inventory, contingencies, etc.) and are released by us upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating to the construction project. To the extent possible, these funds are utilized before any related loan proceeds are disbursed. At December 31, 2000, approximately $1,284,000 of borrower advances deposited with us were to be disbursed on behalf of borrowers and are included as a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Tax Status

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we generally are not subject to Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) to the extent that we distribute at least 95% of our REIT taxable income to shareholders. We may, however, be subject

to certain Federal excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and property. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements under the Code.

Investment Manager

Our loans are managed by PMC Advisers pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “IMA”) and property acquisitions, including the Hotel Properties, are supervised pursuant to a separate agreement entered into in June 1998 (the “Lease Supervision Agreement,” and together with the IMA the “IMAs”).

Upon receipt of a completed loan application, the Investment Manager’s credit department (which is also the credit department for PMC Capital) conducts:

	•		an analysis of the loan which typically includes either a third-party appraisal or valuation by the Investment Manager of the property collateralizing the loan to assure compliance with loan-to-value ratios;
	•		a site inspection generally by a member of senior management of the Investment Manager;
	•		a review of the borrower’s business experience; and
	•		a credit history and an analysis of debt-service-coverage and debt-to-equity ratios.

The Investment Manager’s loan committee (which is also the loan committee of PMC Capital) is comprised of members of our senior management and has the responsibility to make a determination on each loan application. The Investment Manager’s loan committee generally meets on a daily basis and either approves the loan application as submitted, approves the loan application subject to additional conditions or rejects the loan application. After a loan is approved, the credit department will prepare and submit to the borrower a good faith estimate and cost sheet detailing the anticipated costs of the financing. The closing department reviews the loan file and assigns the loan to our outside counsel, whose fees are paid by the borrower. Prior to authorizing disbursement for any fundings of a loan, the closing department reviews the loan documentation obtained from the outside counsel.

After a loan is closed, the Investment Manager’s servicing department (which is also the servicing department of PMC Capital) is responsible on an ongoing basis for the following items:

	•		obtaining all financial information required by the loan documents;
	•		verifying that adequate insurance remains in effect;
	•		verifying that real estate taxes have been paid;
	•		obtaining “Quality Assurance” property inspection reports that are prepared by the franchisors;
	•		continuing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements evidencing the loan, if required;
	•		collecting and applying loan payments; and
	•		monitoring delinquent accounts.

We are managed by the same executive officers as PMC Capital and PMC Advisers. Three of our seven trust managers are directors or officers of PMC Capital. PMC Capital is primarily engaged in the business of originating loans to small businesses under loan guarantee and funding programs sponsored by the SBA. We were organized to provide loans to persons or entities whose borrowing needs and/or strength and stability exceed the limitations set for SBA approved loan programs. As a result, we generally pursue different prospective borrowers than PMC Capital. In order to further mitigate the potential for conflicts of interest, we have entered into a loan origination agreement (the “Loan Origination Agreement”) with PMC Capital and PMC Advisers. Pursuant to the Loan Origination Agreement, all loans that meet our underwriting criteria are presented to us first for funding. If we do not have available uncommitted funds, origination opportunities presented to us may be originated by PMC Capital or it subsidiaries. Many of our existing and potential borrowers have other projects that are currently financed by PMC Capital. The fee of PMC Advisers is primarily based on the value of our assets. In order to mitigate the risk from increasing our loan base through leveraged transactions, the IMAs provide PMC Advisers with a reduced fee for any loan acquired through additional borrowings.

During the period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, pursuant to the IMA we were charged fees between 0.40% and 1.67% annually, based upon the average principal outstanding of our loans pursuant to the IMA. Effective July 1, 2000, the highest fee chargeable by PMC Advisers under the IMA was reduced from 1.67% to 1.55%. In addition, PMC Advisers earns fees for its assistance with the issuance of our debt and equity securities. Such compensation includes a consulting fee equal to (i) 12.5% of any offering fees (underwriting or placement fees) incurred by us pursuant to the public offering or private placement of our common shares, and (ii) 50% of any issuance or placement fees incurred by us pursuant to the issuance of our debt securities or preferred shares of beneficial interest. Specific definitions of the terms and calculations of the averages described above are contained in the IMA. During 1998, the Lease Supervision Agreement commenced and provides an annual fee of 0.70% of the original cost of the properties to be paid to PMC Advisers for providing services relating to leases on our properties. In addition, the Lease Supervision Agreement provides for a fee relating to any acquisition of properties of 0.75% of the acquisition cost. Pursuant to the IMAs, including amendments, we incurred an aggregate of approximately $2.2 million; $2.3 million and $2.6 million in management fees for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Risk Factors

Risks Associated with Forward-Looking Statements Included in this Form 10-K

This Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth of the loan portfolio and availability of funds. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties identified in this Form 10-K. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Ongoing Need For Additional Capital Since Earnings are Required to be Paid as Dividends

We will continue to need capital to fund loans and, to a more limited extent, for our stock repurchase program. Historically, we have sold loans as part of structured financings and loan securitizations, borrowed from financial institutions and have issued equity securities. A reduction in the availability of funds from financial institutions or the asset backed securities market could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our results of operations. We must distribute at least 95% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders to maintain our REIT status under the Code. As a result, that income will not be available to fund loan originations or acquire real estate. We expect to be able to continue to borrow from financial institutions and sell loans in the asset-backed securities market for the foreseeable future. If the market price of our common shares remains below the net book value of our assets, we do not anticipate selling additional equity securities during the year ending December 31, 2001. In addition, PMC Commercial has established criteria that limit its leverage to two times equity.

Fluctuations In Quarterly Results

Our quarterly operating results will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including, among others:

	•		the completion of a securitization transaction in a particular calendar quarter,
	•		gains on property sales,
	•		the interest rates on the securities issued in connection with our securitization transactions,
	•		the volume of loans we originate and the timing of prepayment of our loans,

	•		changes in and the timing of the recognition of gains or losses on investments,
	•		the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets, and
	•		general economic conditions.

To the extent a securitization is completed, (i) our interest income on loans in future periods will be reduced until the proceeds received are reinvested in new loan originations, (ii) interest expense will be reduced if we pay off outstanding debt with the proceeds and (iii) we will earn income from our ownership of a retained interest in the loans sold.

As a result of the above factors, results for any quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.

Impact of Inflation

In an inflationary environment, we may experience problems selling loans in a securitization at a reasonable cost of funds. We primarily have a fixed interest rate portfolio. We anticipate that our working capital needs may call for the completion of a securitization sometime during the latter portion of the year ending December 31, 2001. If either U.S. Treasury rates were to increase sharply (over 1.5%) from present levels (approximately 5% for the 10-year U.S. Treasury at December 31, 2000) or spreads for asset backed securities similar to the type issued by us were to increase sharply (over 1.5%) from our estimate of present levels, we may not be able to complete a loan sale or have to defer a loan sale because of the reduction between the yield on our fixed interest rate loans and the interest needed to be paid to the purchasers.

Leverage

We have borrowed funds and intend to obtain additional funds through advances on our revolving credit facility and through the issuance of structured notes payable. As a result, we are leveraged. Private lenders have fixed dollar claims on our assets superior to the claims of the holders of our common shares. Leverage magnifies the effect that rising or falling interest rates have on our earnings. Any increase in the interest rate earned by us on investments in excess of the interest rate on the funds obtained from borrowings would cause our net income and earnings per share to increase more than they would without leverage, while any decrease in the interest rate earned by us on investments would cause net income and earnings per share to decline by a greater amount than they would without leverage. Leverage is thus generally considered a speculative investment technique. In order for us to repay indebtedness on a timely basis, we may be required to dispose of assets at a time which we would not otherwise do so and at prices which may be below the net book value of such assets. Dispositions of assets may adversely impact our results of operations. See “Loan Prepayment Considerations” and “Interest Rate and Prepayment Risk.”

Risks of Lending To Small Businesses

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to small, privately owned companies. There is no publicly available information about these companies, and therefore we must rely on the due diligence of our Investment Manager to obtain information in connection with our investment decisions. Our borrowers may not meet net income, cash flow and other coverage tests typically imposed by bank lenders. A borrower’s ability to repay its loan may be adversely impacted by numerous factors, including the downturn in its industry or other negative economic conditions. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in the collateral for the loan. In addition, small businesses depend on the management talents and efforts of one person or a small group of people for their success. The loss of services of one or more of these persons could have an adverse impact on the operations of the small business. Small companies are typically more vulnerable to customer preferences, market conditions and economic downturns and often need additional capital to expand or compete. Such companies may also experience changes in operating results and typically have highly leveraged capital structures. These factors may have an impact on the ultimate recovery of our loans to such businesses. Loans to small businesses, therefore, involve a high degree of business and financial risk, which can result in substantial losses and accordingly should be considered speculative.

Portfolio Valuation

There is typically no public market or established trading market for the loans we originate. The illiquidity of most of our portfolio of loans may adversely affect our ability to dispose of such loans at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate such investments. Accordingly, changes in estimated values are recorded in our statement of operations as a provision for loan losses. Changes to the facts and circumstances of the borrower, the lodging industry and the economy may require the establishment of additional loan loss reserves. If a determination is made that there exists significant doubt as to the ultimate collection of a loan, the effect to operating results may be material.

Volatility in Valuation of our Retained Interest in Transferred Assets

The value of our Retained Interests is determined based on management’s assumptions concerning, among other things, anticipated defaults and loan losses and anticipated prepayment speeds. The discount rates that we utilize are determined for each of the assets comprising the Retained Interests based upon the inherent risk associated with each asset. Actual defaults and prepayments may vary from our assumptions, possibly to a material degree. Management has performed a sensitivity analysis of our Retained Interests to highlight the volatility that results when prepayments and losses are different than management’s original assumptions. To the extent that losses are 0.50% per annum and 1.00% per annum higher than estimated, the value of the Retained Interests would be reduced by $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. If our prepayment speeds were to be increased by 5% per annum or 10% per annum, the value of the Retained Interests would be reduced by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Loss of Pass-Through Tax Treatment

If a company meets certain diversification and distribution requirements under the Code, it qualifies as a REIT for pass-through tax treatment. We would cease to qualify for pass-through tax treatment if we were unable to comply with these requirements. We are also subject to a 4% excise tax (and, in certain cases, corporate level income tax) if we fail to make certain distributions. Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to Federal income tax as if we were an ordinary corporation, resulting in a substantial reduction in both our net assets and the amount of income available for distribution to our shareholders.

Loan Prepayment Considerations

The terms of our loans originated generally provide that voluntary prepayments of principal of the loans are permitted, subject to a yield maintenance charge (a “Yield Maintenance Charge”). The Yield Maintenance Charge will generally be equal to the greater of either 95 days of interest at the stated interest rate applied to the amount of principal being prepaid, or a yield maintenance premium (the “Yield Maintenance Premium”). For the majority of our loans, the Yield Maintenance Premium is calculated by multiplying the amount of principal being prepaid by the product of the number of years remaining to maturity of the loan and the Reinvestment Rate (as defined hereafter). For the majority of the loans, the “Reinvestment Rate” is the difference between the U.S. Treasury Rate nearest to the loan’s original maturity at the time of origination of the loan and the 5-year U.S. Treasury Rate at the time of prepayment. Generally, as prevailing interest rates decline, the amount of the Yield Maintenance Premium increases. Some of the loans permit the prepayment of up to 10% of the original loan principal balance per year without penalty.

Interest Rate and Prepayment Risk

Our ability to achieve certain of our investment objectives will depend in part on our ability to borrow funds on favorable terms or issue equity at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that such borrowings or issuances can be achieved. The net income of our lending operations is materially dependent upon the “spread” between the rate at which we borrow funds (typically either short-term at variable rates or long-term at fixed rates) and the rate at which we loan these funds (typically long-term at fixed rates). During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact our net income, dividend yield, and the market price of our common shares. As interest rates declined during 1997 and into 1998, we experienced loan prepayments, and such prepayments, as well as scheduled repayments, have generally been re-loaned at lower rates. This high volume of

loan prepayments had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and had an affect on our ability to maintain distributions at then current levels. The loans we originated have prepayment fees charged, as described above, which we believe help mitigate the likelihood and effect of principal prepayments. Prepayments continued at accelerated levels through the second quarter of 1999. As a result of the prepayments and other factors, we decreased our rate of quarterly dividend from $0.46 at September 30, 2000 to $0.365 at December 31, 2000.

Competition

Our primary competition has come from banks, financial institutions and other lending companies. Some of these competitors have greater financial and larger managerial resources than us and are able to provide services we are not able to provide (i.e. depository services). During 2000, competition increased as the financial strength of the banking and thrift industries improved and interest rates remained high. In our opinion, during this period there was competitive lending activity at advance rates and interest rates that were considerably more aggressive than those offered by us. In order to maintain a quality portfolio, we continued to adhere to our historical underwriting criteria, and as a result, certain loan origination opportunities were not funded by us. We believe we compete effectively with such entities on the basis of the variety of our lending programs offered, the interest rates, our long-term maturities and payment schedules, the quality of our service, our reputation as a lender, the timely credit analysis and decision-making processes, and the renewal options available to borrowers.

Americans with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) requires all public accommodations and commercial facilities to meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers, and noncompliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. Government or an award of damages to private litigants. Although we believe that the properties that we own or finance are substantially in compliance with these requirements, a determination that the properties are not in compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Pursuant to the master lease agreements relating to the Hotel Properties, costs and fines associated with the ADA are the responsibility of the tenant. However, a substantial expense may affect the borrowers or tenants ability to pay their obligations, and consequently, our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to shareholders may be adversely affected.

Reports to Shareholders

We provide annual reports to the holders of Common Shares containing audited financial statements with a report thereon from our independent public accountants and, upon request, quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information for each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year.

Employees

We have no salaried employees. The Investment Manager provides all personnel required for our operations.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

We operate from the headquarters of the Investment Manager in Dallas, Texas, and through their loan production offices in Missouri, Georgia and Arizona.

At December 31, 2000, we owned 29 Hotel Properties (not including the limited service property we acquired through the liquidation of a loan). The Hotel Properties are leased pursuant to a sale/leaseback transaction. No lease revenue from any of the 29 properties is greater than 2% of our annual revenues.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Lending Operations

We are primarily a commercial lender that originates loans to small business enterprises that are principally collateralized by first liens on the real estate of the related business. Our lending function consists primarily of making loans to borrowers who operate in the lodging industry. During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, we originated and funded $22.5 million, $17.5 million and $43.0 million of loans. During 2000 our loan originations increased as a result of an increased availability of funds from our revolving credit facility and a decrease in competition from conduit lending programs. The decrease in loan originations during 1999 was largely a result of increased competition in the hospitality lending industry and the scheduled reduction of availability under our revolving credit facility during the latter half of 1999 which was not remedied until November 1999. See “Economy and Competition.” Our commitments to fund new loans have increased to $22.2 million at December 31, 2000 from $7.9 million at December 31, 1999. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

As of December 31, 2000, our Retained Portfolio outstanding was $66.4 million ($65.6 million after reductions for deferred commitment fees and loan loss reserves). The Retained Portfolio does not include the principal balance remaining on the $55.6 million of Securitized Loans. See “Securitization and Structured Financing Transactions – Securitization of loans during 2000.” Included in the Retained Portfolio are approximately $18 million of loans which are not encumbered by our structured financing transactions and to the extent they meet the criteria for a securitization could be part of a securitization in the future. The Aggregate Portfolio outstanding was $122.0 million at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the weighted average contractual interest rate of our Retained Portfolio and our Aggregate Portfolio was approximately 10.4% and 10.0%, respectively. The weighted average contractual interest rate does not include the effects of the accretion of commitment fees on funded loans or prepayment fees earned. The annualized average yields on our Retained Portfolio, includes all loan fees and prepayment fees earned and is reduced by the provision established for loan losses. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the annualized average yields on our Retained Portfolio were approximately 10.8%, 11.8% and 13.1%, respectively.

As of December 31, 2000, we had no loans which were greater than 31 days delinquent. We have established a reserve in the amount of $100,000 against a loan that we have determined to be a potential “problem loan.” The aggregate principal balance outstanding of the “problem loan” at December 31, 2000 was approximately $1.4 million. In the event this loan is required to be liquidated, management estimates the collateral will equal or exceed the principal balance outstanding less the related reserve.

Certain Accounting Considerations

We have transferred assets to special purpose entities in connection with securitizations and structured financings in order to obtain working capital to originate new loans. The transfer of assets that qualifies for sale treatment under SFAS No. 125 (“Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”) is generally accounted for by the seller by: (i) derecognizing all assets sold, (ii) recognizing all assets obtained and liabilities incurred at their relative fair value, and (iii) recognizing all assets retained at their allocated previous carrying amount based on relative fair values. We typically receive cash and retain the right to receive contractual servicing fees and the right to receive future interest income on loans transferred that exceed the contractually specified servicing fee. The difference between (i) the carrying value of the portion of loans sold and (ii) the sum of (a) cash received, (b) servicing rights, if any, and (c) the interest-only strip receivable retained, constitutes the gain on sale.

As of the date a securitization is completed, the value of the retained interest in the transferred loans is established based upon the initial estimate of the anticipated discounted future cash flows retained by us. The assets that comprise our retained interest in transferred assets (the “Retained Interests”) are the restricted cash, an investment in the subordinated portion of the sold receivables and the interest-only strip receivable. Management’s assumptions include estimates of prepayment speeds, default rates, future loan losses and discount rates. The discount rate is management’s estimate of a market rate based on interest rate levels at the time of completion of the transaction considering the risks inherent in the transaction. There can be no assurance of the accuracy of these estimates. If the prepayment speeds occur at a faster rate than anticipated or future loan losses occur quicker than expected or in amounts greater than expected, the value of the Retained Interests will decline. If prepayments occur slower than anticipated or future loan losses are less than expected, cash flows would exceed estimated amounts and total income in future periods would be enhanced.

On a quarterly basis, we measure the fair value of and record income relating to the Retained Interests based upon the future anticipated cash flows discounted to reflect the current market interest rates for investments of this type. Any appreciation (depreciation) of the Retained Interests is either recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and included as a component of beneficiaries’ equity or recorded as a realized loss and reflected in the consolidated statement of income.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of SFAS No. 125’s provisions without reconsideration. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 140 should be applied prospectively to transfers of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001 while the disclosure requirements are required for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. We do not anticipate that the impact of SFAS No. 140 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2000, EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”) was issued. EITF 99-20 provides guidance on interest income recognition and measurement guidance for interests retained in a securitization transaction accounted for as a sale and for purchased beneficial interests. EITF 99-20 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2000. The adoption of EITF 99-20 will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In September 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging

activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. In September 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 133 was originally effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after September 15, 1999. SFAS No. 137 deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 has no impact upon us as we have no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2000.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”) which provides guidance on revenue recognition. Management has considered the provisions of SAB 101 and does not believe SAB 101 has any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999

Our net income during the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $9.4 million and $10.3 million, or $1.44 and $1.57 per share, respectively. Our revenues decreased by approximately $2.2 million, or 10%, from $22.0 million during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $19.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2000 due primarily to lower interest income on our outstanding loan portfolio. Our revenues do not include a gain on sale of property in the amount of $304,000 from the sale of one of our Hotel Properties in June 2000 and a realized gain of $1.1 million from the securitization and sale of a portion of our loan portfolio. Our expenses include an increase of $600,000 in the provision for loan losses associated with a loan which was foreclosed upon in August, 2000. Our funds from operations (“FFO”) were $10.2 million and $12.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The difference between our net income and our FFO was the gains described above and the effect of depreciation (see “Funds From Operations and Dividends”).

Interest income — loans decreased by $1,968,000 (15%), from $13,269,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $11,301,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. Interest income-loans represents interest earned on our outstanding loan portfolio and the accretion of deferred commitment fees. This decrease in interest income-loans was primarily attributable to the decrease in our weighted average outstanding loan portfolio of $12.9 million (11%), from $121.5 million during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $108.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2000. Additionally, the accretion of commitment fees was approximately $300,000 less in 2000 compared to 1999 as a result of lower loan prepayment levels during the year ended December 31, 2000. Our weighted average contractual interest rate on loans outstanding continued to decline. The weighted average contractual interest rate was 10.1% at December 31, 1999 compared to 10.0% at December 31, 2000. As a result of the securitization and sale of loans in December 2000, interest income – loans (and interest expense) will significantly decrease in 2001 until the proceeds from the sale (approximately $47 million after funding of the reserve fund and payment of costs) have been invested in loans or other higher yielding assets. See “ Business —Structured Securitization and Financing Transactions” and “Risk Factors – Fluctuations in Quarterly Results.”

Lease income increased by $50,000 (1%), from $7,531,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $7,581,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. Lease income increased primarily due to our purchase of the four Hotel Properties in March 1999 and was partially offset by the reduced rent due to the sale of one of our Hotel Properties in June 2000. Lease income will decrease as we sell properties pursuant to the amended sale/leaseback agreement with Amerihost. See “Business – Property Ownership.”

Interest and dividends — other investments decreased by $38,000 (14%), from $281,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $243,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease was caused by a decline in our average outstanding short-term investments of $1.7 million (24%), from $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the continued reduction of our restricted investments. This decrease was partially offset by increased average yields. The average yields on short-term investments during the year ended December 31, 2000 increased to 5.4% from 4.5% during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Gain on sale of assets was $1,421,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2000 we recognized approximately $1.1 million in gain relating to the sale of $55.6 million of loans during December 2000. During June 2000 we sold one of our Hotel Properties for cash proceeds of $3.1 million resulting in a gain of $304,000. There were no comparable transactions during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Other income decreased by $269,000 (29%), from $919,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $650,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. Other income consists of: (i) prepayment fees, (ii) amortization of construction monitoring fees, (iii) late fees and other loan fees, and (iv) miscellaneous collections. The decrease was principally attributable to lower prepayment fees which decreased by $323,000 (52%), from $620,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $297,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. Management believes prepayment fees may increase as a result in the reduction in prime rate during the first quarter of 2001. See “Business – Risk Factors – Competition” and “– Interest and Prepayment Risk.”

Interest expense decreased by $241,000, from $7,023,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $6,782,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily a result of the reduction in interest expense from decreases in the borrowings under our 1998 Notes and the redemption of the remaining outstanding 1996 Notes. This decrease was offset by the assumption of the indebtedness on the four Hotel Properties acquired during March 1999, the indebtedness on six of the Hotel Properties primarily entered into during the third quarter of 1999, and increased interest rates on funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility due to the increase in the LIBOR during 2000. Our interest expense is expected to significantly decrease in 2001 due to the payoff of the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility by $43 million, which was paid from the proceeds we received from the issuances of our 2000 PMCT Notes. However, the timing of future borrowings is contingent upon loan fundings during 2001 and the availability of funds from alternative sources.

Depreciation expense increased by $37,000 (2%), from $2,213,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $2,250,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to depreciation of the four Hotel Properties acquired during March 1999 and was partially offset as a result of the sale of a Hotel Property in June 2000.

Advisory and servicing fees to affiliate, net decreased by $219,000 (10%), from $2,173,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $1,954,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Pursuant to the IMA, we are currently charged fees between 0.40% and 1.55% annually (the “Investment Management Fees”) based upon the average principal outstanding of our loans. Prior to July 1, 2000, the maximum fee was 1.67% annually. While PMC Advisers bears substantially all of the costs associated with our operations, we pay certain expenses, including, direct transaction costs incident to the acquisition and disposition of investments, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the fees and expenses of our trust managers who are not officers (the “Independent Trust Managers”), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to shareholders and the fees and expenses of our custodian and transfer agent. We, rather than PMC Advisers, are also required to pay expenses associated with any litigation and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses.

In addition, in June 1998 we entered into the Lease Supervision Agreement with PMC Advisers relating to the supervision of our sale-leaseback agreements with Amerihost. We are required to pay an annual fee (the “Lease Supervision Fee”) of 0.70% of the original cost of the Hotel Properties ($70.1 million as of December 31, 2000). As of December 31, 2000, the Lease Supervision Fee was $491,000 per annum. In the event the Lease Supervision Agreement with PMC Advisers is terminated or not renewed by PMC Commercial (other than as a result of a material breach by PMC Advisers) or terminated by PMC Advisers (as a result of a material breach by PMC Commercial), PMC Advisers would be entitled to receive the Lease Supervision Fee for a period of five years from the termination date.

	Fees capitalized as cost of property acquisitions and structured financing		(100	)		(81	)

Advisory and servicing fees to affiliate, net		$	1,954		$	2,173

The reduction in fees was primarily a result of reduced loans under management, the reduction in the rate charged pursuant to the IMA effective July 1, 2000 and the increase in fees capitalized as a cost of originating loans due to an increase in lending activity during 2000.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $39,000 (21%), from $185,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $146,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. The general and administrative expenses remained at low levels and stable since the majority of the expenses were incurred by PMC Advisers pursuant to the IMAs.

Legal and accounting fees decreased by $43,000 (30%), from $142,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $99,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. Legal and accounting fees were not material during either of these respective periods.

Provision for loan losses was $600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. We provided for a $600,000 loan loss provision during the year ended December 31, 2000. There was no provision for loan losses established during the year ended December 31, 1999. The loan loss provision was established based on the determination, through an evaluation of the recoverability of individual loans, by our Board of Trust Managers that significant doubt exists as to the ultimate realization of a specific loan. During August 2000 we foreclosed on the collateral relating to this loan that had an aggregate principal balance outstanding, including costs and expenses related to the foreclosure, of approximately $1.2 million on the date of foreclosure. Upon foreclosure, we established a value of $587,000 for the underlying assets of this loan. The previously established loan loss provision related to this loan of $600,000 was netted against the outstanding principal of the loan at the time of foreclosure.

The determination of whether significant doubt exists and whether a loan loss provision is necessary for each loan requires judgment and a consideration of the facts and circumstances existing at the evaluation date.

Federal income taxes. As we are currently qualified as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Code, there are no provisions in the financial statements for Federal income taxes.

Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1998

Our net income during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $10.3 million and $11.4 million, or $1.57 and $1.75 per share, respectively. Our revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 14%, from $19.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $22.0 million during the year ended December 31, 1999 due primarily to the lease revenue on properties purchased in June 1998 and March 1999. Equity ownership in properties, while causing increased revenues, also causes increased expenses (primarily depreciation, interest costs and advisory fees). While there was a decrease in net income, our FFO increased. The difference between our net income and our FFO was the effect of depreciation (see “Funds From Operations”). Depreciation expense increased by $1.2 million, or 127%, from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in depreciation expense resulted from the acquisition of properties during June 1998 and March 1999.

Interest income — loans decreased by $227,000 (2%), from $13.5 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $13.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest income-loans represents income generated primarily through interest earned on our outstanding loan portfolio and the accretion of deferred commitment fees. This $227,000 decrease in interest income-loans was primarily attributable to the impact of a continued decline in the weighted average contractual interest rate on loans outstanding. The weighted average contractual interest rate was 10.3% at December 31, 1998 compared to 10.1% at December 31, 1999. Partially offsetting the decrease in weighted average interest rates was an increase in our average outstanding loan portfolio. The average outstanding loan portfolio increased by $2.6 million (2%), from $118.9 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $121.5 million during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Lease income increased by $4.2 million (127%), from $3.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 1999. We acquired 26 Hotel Properties during June 1998. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 1998, we earned lease revenue for a six-month period while the lease income for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes lease revenue for the entire year. In addition, lease income increased as a result of lease revenue derived from the Four Amerihost Properties which were acquired in March 1999.

Interest and dividends — other investments decreased by $40,000 (12%), from $321,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $281,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999. The average yields on short-term investments during the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased by .5% from 5.0% during the year ended December 31, 1998 to 4.5% during the year ended December 31, 1998. Additionally, the average short-term investments of the Company decreased by $176,000 (3%), from $6,420,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $6,244,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Other income decreased by $1.3 million (59%), from $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $919,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999. Other income consists of: (i) prepayment fees, (ii) amortization of construction monitoring fees, (iii) late and other loan fees and (iv) miscellaneous collections. The decrease was principally attributable to the reduced amount of prepayment fees collected during the year ended December 31, 1999 of $620,000 compared to $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 1998. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, 16 and 25 loans in the amounts of approximately $16.1 million and $26.0 million, respectively, paid in full prior to their stated maturity. Additionally, one of the loans which paid in full during the year ended December 31, 1998 had a significant penalty. Prepayment fee income as a percentage of loans which paid in full was less during the year ended December 31, 1999 than during the year ended December 31, 1998 because the Yield Maintenance Premiums were not as large due to (i) the lower interest rates on the loans which prepaid and (ii) the higher interest rates on U.S. Treasuries. Prepayment fees result in one-time increases in our other income, but will result in a long-term reduction in income if we are unable to generate new loans with the proceeds of these prepayments with interest rates equal to or greater than the rates of the loans which were prepaid. Prepayments generally increase during times of declining interest rates. See “Business-Risk Factors-Interest Rate and Prepayment Risk.” The borrower’s decision to prepay will depend on factors such as prepayment penalties and the availability of alternative lending sources. As interest rates remained at low levels, borrowers appeared more willing to pay the prepayment penalties in order to obtain the lower interest rate. See “Business-Risk Factors-Loan Prepayment Considerations.”

Interest expense increased by $2.7 million (64%), from $4.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $7.0 million during the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily a result of the issuance of the 1998 Notes during June 1998, the proceeds of which were used to purchase the Hotel Properties, the assumption of indebtedness on the four Hotel Properties during March 1999, new indebtedness on six of the Hotel Properties primarily entered into during the third quarter of 1999 and increases in the borrowings under our revolving credit facility used to originate loans. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense from the redemption of the remaining 1996 Notes. Interest expense consisted of:

Depreciation expense increased by $1.2 million (127%), from $976,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase is attributable to depreciation of the Hotel Properties acquired during June 1998 and March 1999.

Advisory and servicing fees to affiliate, net increased by $364,000 (20%), from $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Advisory and servicing fees to affiliate, net		$	2,173		$	1,809

The decrease in Investment Management Fees of $676,000 (28%) is primarily due to the reduction in fees incurred on property acquisitions and structured financings. During 1998, $166,000 was capitalized as part of the structured financing completed in June 1998, and a $467,000 fee charged for the acquisition of the Hotel Properties during June 1998 was capitalized as a cost of the properties compared to $81,000 of fees charged related to the acquisition of the four Hotel Properties capitalized as a cost of the properties in 1999.

The Lease Supervision Fee increased as a result of the agreement commencing on June 30, 1998 with the purchase of the Hotel Properties. We earned six months of income in 1998 compared to a full year in 1999.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3,000 (2%), from $182,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $185,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999. The general and administrative expenses remained at low levels and stable since the majority of the expenses are incurred by PMC Advisers pursuant to the IMA.

Legal and accounting fees increased by $70,000 (97%), from $72,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 to $142,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase is attributable to an increase in corporate activity when comparing the year ended December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31, 1998.

Write-off of transaction costs were $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 1998. This expense is attributable to a one-time charge for costs during the year ended December 31, 1998 related to the termination of a proposed merger. There were no such charges for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Federal income taxes. As we are currently qualified as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Code, there are no provisions in the financial statements for Federal income taxes.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

We generated $11,316,000 and $12,096,000 from operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The primary source of funds from operating activities is our net income. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $780,000 (6%) was primarily due to (i) the decrease in net income of $899,000 from $10,264,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $9,365,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000 and (ii) the use of funds relating to the adjustment to net income for gains recognized on the sale of assets of $1.4 million. This decrease in funds generated from operating activities was partially offset by an increase in commitment fees collected which increased from $41,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $547,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in commitment fees was due to an increase in loan origination activity included fees collected on the loan commitments outstanding at December 31, 2000.

Our investing activities reflect a net use of funds of $2,655,000 and a net source of funds of $4,192,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The $6,847,000 reduction in cash flows relates primarily to: (i) an increase in the use of our funds of $5,030,000 for loans funded, (ii) a decrease in principal collected of $6,084,000, and (iii) the use of cash of $2,311,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000 for our initial investment in the 2000 Joint Venture. The increased use of funds described above was partially offset by: (i) the proceeds of $3,063,000 we received from the sale of one of our Hotel Properties in June 2000, and (ii) a reduction in our use of funds since we had no acquisitions during 2000 while we used $4,094,000 during March 1999 to purchase four Hotel Properties.

We had a net use of funds of $8,402,000 and $16,285,000 from financing activities during years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. When comparing the year ended December 31, 2000 to the year ended December 31, 1999, the reduction in cash flows of $7,883,000 was primarily due to; (i) the receipt of proceeds of $8,575,000 from mortgage notes payable in 1999 while we did not issue any mortgage notes payable in 2000, and (ii) the receipt of proceeds of $49,550,000 during 2000 from our securitization transaction while we did not complete a securitization or structured financing transaction during 1999. The increased source of funds described above was partially offset by; (i) an increase in the use of funds of $40,675,000 relating to our revolving credit facility since we had a source of funds of $6,575,000 from our revolving credit facility during 1999 and a use of funds of $34,605,000 during 2000, and (ii) a decrease in use of funds of $9,224,000 from principal payments on our notes payable resulting from the redemption during 1999 of the balance due on a structured financing completed in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary use of our funds is to originate loans. We also use funds for payment of dividends to shareholders, management and advisory fees (in lieu of salaries and other administrative overhead), general corporate overhead and interest and principal payments on borrowed funds.

As a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders at least 95% of our REIT taxable income to maintain our tax status under the Code. As a result, those earnings will not be available to fund future investments. In order to maintain and increase our investment portfolio, we have a continuing need for capital. We have historically met our capital needs through borrowings under our credit facility, structured sales/financings of our loan portfolio and the issuance of common shares.

At December 31, 2000, we had $487,000 of cash and cash equivalents, availability of $45.0 million under our revolving credit facility and approximately $22.2 million of total loan commitments and approvals outstanding to 15 small business concerns predominantly in the lodging industry. Of the total loan commitments and approvals outstanding at December 31, 2000, we had approximately $7.2 million of loan commitments outstanding pertaining to seven partially funded construction loans and approximately $1.0 million of commitments under the SBA 504 takeout program. The weighted average interest rate on loan commitments at December 31, 2000 was 10.3%. These commitments are made in the ordinary course of business and, in management’s opinion, are generally on the same terms as those to existing borrowers. These commitments to extend credit are conditioned upon compliance with the terms of the applicable commitment letter. Commitments have fixed expiration dates and require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire without the proposed loan closing, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Pursuant to our loan origination agreement with PMC Advisers and PMC Capital, if we do not have available capital to fund outstanding commitments, PMC Advisers will refer such commitments to our affiliates and we will receive no income from those outstanding commitments.

Our primary use of funds is for the origination of loans. As a result of uncertain economic trends and overbuilding in certain regional markets, there has been a slowdown in the number of new hospitality properties that are being built or sold commencing in 1999. Due to competition and the slowdown in construction of new limited service hospitality properties, our loan origination volume was only $22.5 million in 2000. From 1996 to 1998, our loan origination volume was approximately $42 million per year. The volume had dropped to $17.5 million in 1999 as a result of limited availability of funds related to our credit facility. However, since the beginning of 2001, we have seen an increase in loan origination opportunities due to the reductions in prime rate during the first quarter of 2001 and competition lessening from banks and other lenders. Based on this increased activity, we expect that the volume of new loans to be funded in 2001 should exceed our 2000 level of $22.5 million but may not be as high as our annual levels from 1996 to 1998.

We also receive funds from the principal paid on our Retained Portfolio. As a result of changes in the credit markets in 1999 including increases in interest rates and a reduction in competition from loan conduits, the pace of prepayment activity decreased commencing with the third quarter of 1999 through the end of 2000. We believe that as a result of the current interest rate environment (the prime rate was decreased by 1.5% during the first quarter of 2001), we may see prepayment activity at levels greater than the levels of prepayment activity experienced during 2000. Since we do not expect the competition to be as strong during this period of reduced interest rates, we do not expect that the prepayment activity will be as high as it was during 1997 and 1998.

The Board has authorized a share repurchase program for up to 500,000 of our outstanding Common Shares. The shares may be bought from time to time in the open market or pursuant to negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2000, we acquired 105,250 shares under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $1,022,000, including commissions; subsequently we have purchased an additional 26,200 shares through March 15, 2001 for an aggregate purchase price of $246,000, including commissions.

In general, to meet our liquidity requirements, including expansion of our outstanding loan portfolio, we intend to use:

	•		issuance of debt securities including securitizations of loans or properties;
	•		our revolving credit facility as described below;
	•		borrowings collateralized by the properties;
	•		proceeds from sale of our Hotel Properties;
	•		placement of corporate long-term borrowings; and/or
	•		issuance of additional equity securities.

We believe that these financing sources will enable us to generate funds sufficient to meet both our short-term and long-term capital needs. Our ability to continue our historical growth, however, will depend on our ability to borrow funds, sell assets and/or issue equity on acceptable terms. A reduction in the availability of these sources of funds could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. We expect to obtain capital to fund loans through borrowings as further discussed below.

For our short term working capital needs, we have a $45 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) which provides funds to originate loans and, on a limited basis, to purchase commercial real estate. We have a maximum amount (the “Borrowing Base”) that we can borrow that is based on our loans that are used as collateral for this facility. The Borrowing Base available on each loan is the greater of (a) 60% of the value of the project underlying the loan collateralizing the borrowing or (b) 85% of the amount of the loan outstanding. At December 31, 2000, we had no borrowings outstanding and availability of $45 million. At December 31, 2000, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. We are charged interest on the balance outstanding under the Revolver at our election of either the prime rate of the lender or 162.5 basis points over the 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR. The Revolver matures on November 27, 2002.

Since we recently completed a co-securitization transaction with PMC Capital and have $45 million available through our Revolver, we do not expect to have to complete another securitization until the latter part of 2001. While we build up a pool of loans for a securitization, due to the limited number of loans able to be included in the loan securitization we achieve a more cost-efficient cost of funds and lower retained interest in loans securitized when we complete a securitization through a joint-venture transaction with PMC Capital. PMC Capital received the required exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting them to co-securitize with our loan portfolio, thereby allowing us to achieve a more cost-efficient cost of funds, a lower retained interest in loans securitized and more timely access to the securitization market.

With regard to our Hotel Properties, we continue to pursue mortgages on individual properties owned by us. Presently we may have an opportunity to obtain approximately $5 million on properties valued at $7.5 million. The interest rate we would hope to receive is currently below 7.5%. As of December 31, 2000, we had mortgaged six of the Hotel Properties for an aggregate remaining outstanding principal balance of $8.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.66%. The related notes each had terms of five years (except for one note), amortization periods of 20 years, and rates ranging from 7.44% to 8.00%. The remaining note’s term is eight years, has no prepayment penalty and has an interest rate reset in four years.

Our outstanding commitments are less than the amount available on our Revolver. We expect that loans to be funded during the year ended December 31, 2001 will be less than our availability on our Revolver. To the extent that fundings exceed our expectation, the sources of funds described above should be adequate to meet our existing obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds through these financing sources. If these sources are not available, we will have to continue originating loans at reduced levels and we may have to refer commitments to PMC Advisers. In addition, since our loans have fixed interest rates and we have short-term variable interest rate borrowings, we are subject to the interest rate risk that short-term variable rates will increase substantially. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” In order to mitigate this interest rate risk, we may have to issue debt at decreased loan-to-value ratios or increased interest rates and/or sell assets

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND DIVIDENDS

Funds From Operations (“FFO”). We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for an equity or hybrid REIT that provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), means income (loss) before minority interest (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from the methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may be not be directly comparable to such other REITs. Our formulation of FFO set forth below is consistent with the NAREIT White Paper definition of FFO. FFO (i) does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, (ii) is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to make distributions, and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. For a complete discussion of our cash flows from operations, see “Cash Flow Analysis.”

Our FFO for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was computed as follows:

Dividends. We paid quarterly dividends of $0.46 per share during January, April, July and October 2000. During December 2000, we declared a $0.365 per share dividend to common shareholders of record on December 29, 2000, which was paid during January 2001.

Our Board has reviewed our dividend policy and considered many factors including, but not limited to, expectations for future earnings and FFO, interest rate environment, competition, our ability to obtain leverage, our loan portfolio activity and general REIT stock performances. While our Board has historically paid dividends based primarily upon an expectation of available FFO, this policy has been modified and it is anticipated the quarterly dividend per share will range between our expectation of annual earnings per share and FFO (on a per share basis). Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis will not necessarily correlate directly to quarterly FFO or earnings expectations.

As a result, the quarterly dividend for January 2001 and April 2001 was reduced from $0.46 to $0.365. To the extent excess FFO is retained and not paid out as quarterly dividends, these funds will be used to originate loans, to reduce debt or to possibly pay year-end extra dividends. See “Funds from Operations” above.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates since our balance sheet consists of items subject to interest rate risk.

A majority of our investment portfolio consists of fixed interest rate loans. Given that the loans are priced at a fixed rate of interest, changes in interest rates should not have a direct impact on interest income. Significant reductions in interest rates, however, can prompt increased prepayments of our loans, resulting in possible decreases in long-term revenues due to re-investment of the prepayment proceeds at lower interest rates. See Item 1,“Business-Risk Factors-Interest Rate and Prepayment Risk.”

We have an investment in Retained Interests which is valued by our Board based on various factors including estimates of appropriate market discount rates. Significant reductions (or increases) in the discount rates used by the Board in determining the valuation of the Retained Interests will have an impact on the value. If market rates, and consequently the discount rates used by the Board, were to increase by 1% or 2% from current rates, the value of our Retained Interests would diminish by $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Our consolidated liabilities consist primarily of the 1998 Notes of approximately $38.3 million at December 31, 2000, and debt related to our Hotel Properties of approximately $15.0 million. The 1998 Notes and the debt related to our Hotel Properties are payable at fixed rates of interest, so changes in interest rates do not affect the related interest expense. While our Revolver is subject to adverse changes in market interest rates, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver at December 31, 2000.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Trust Managers
PMC Commercial Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, beneficiaries’ equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PMC Commercial Trust and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Business:
PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial” or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “we”, “us” or “our”) was organized in 1993 as a Texas real estate investment trust. Our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) are traded on the American Stock Exchange (symbol “PCC”). Our principal investment objective is to obtain current income from interest earned on the loan portfolio, other related fee income from our lending activities and rental income from property ownership. To date, these investments have been principally in the lodging industry. Our investment advisor is PMC Advisers, Ltd. (“PMC Advisers” or the “Investment Manager”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PMC Capital, Inc. (“PMC Capital”), a regulated investment company traded on the American Stock Exchange (symbol “PMC”) and related to us through common management.

Principles of Consolidation:
PMC Commercial directly or indirectly owns 100% of PMC Commercial Receivable Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “1996 Partnership”), PMC Commercial Trust, Ltd. 1998-1 (the “1998 Partnership”), and four separate Delaware limited partnerships and related corporate general partners formed to own four hospitality properties (the “Special Purpose Entities”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Loans Receivable, net:
Loans receivable are carried at their outstanding principal balance less deferred fees net of related costs, and loan loss reserves. A loan loss reserve is established based on a determination, through an evaluation of the recoverability of individual loans, by our Board of Trust Managers when significant doubt exists as to the ultimate realization of the loan. The determination of whether significant doubt exists and whether a loan loss provision is necessary for each loan requires judgment and considers the facts and circumstances existing at the evaluation date. Our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a review of our historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including adverse circumstances that may affect the ability of the borrower to repay interest and/or principal and, to the extent payment appears impaired, the estimated value of collateral. Changes to the facts and circumstances of the borrower, the lodging industry and the economy may require the establishment of additional loan loss reserves.

Deferred fee revenue is included as a reduction to the carrying value of loans receivable and consists of non-refundable fees less certain direct loan origination costs which are being recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of the yield.

Real Estate Investments:
Real estate investments are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual values. The buildings and improvements are being depreciated utilizing a 35-year useful life and the furniture, fixtures and equipment are being depreciated over a seven-year useful life. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the amounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of income. Maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the lessee and are charged to the lessee’s operations as incurred; major replacements, renewals and improvements are capitalized.

We periodically review the carrying value of each hotel property to determine if circumstances exist indicating impairment in the carrying value of the investment in the hotel property or that depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, we will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows without interest charges of the specific hotel property and determine if the investment in the hotel property is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel property based on the difference between the sum of the expected future discounted net cash flows and the carrying amount of the asset. We do not believe that there are any current facts or circumstances indicating impairment of any of our real estate investments.

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Retained Interest in Transferred Assets:
The transfer of assets that qualifies for sale treatment under SFAS No. 125 is generally accounted for by the seller by: (i) derecognizing all assets sold, (ii) recognizing all assets obtained and liabilities incurred at their relative fair value, and (iii) recognizing all assets retained at their allocated previous carrying amount based on relative fair values. We typically receive cash and retain the right to receive servicing fees and the right to receive future interest income on loans sold that exceed the contractually specified servicing fee (the “interest-only strip receivable”) in exchange for a portion of the loan. Our retained interest in the transferred assets (the “Retained Interests”) are comprised of three separate assets; (1) the “Reserve Fund,” and the interest earned thereon, which is the cash required to be kept in a liquid cash account pursuant to the securitization documents; (2) the subordinated portion of the sold loans (commonly referred to as the “B” Piece or the “over-collateralized"/ “OC” portions of the loans) and, (3) the excess cash flows generated, if any, after payment of (a) all interest and principal amount due to the purchaser of the loans or the “Noteholders,” (b) payment of all principal and interest on the “B” Piece, (c) the repayment of the corpus of the Reserve Fund, and (d) ongoing costs of the transaction. This excess cash is the interest-only strip receivable or the “IO Receivable.” The difference between (i) the carrying value of the assets sold and (ii) the sum of (a) cash received, and (b) the present value of the discounted future cash flows from the Retained Interests, constitutes the gain on sale.

The discount rates that we utilize are determined for each of the components of the Retained Interests are estimates of market rates based on interest rate levels at the time of completion of the transaction considering the risks inherent in the transaction.

On a quarterly basis, we measure the fair value of and record income relating to the Retained Interests based upon the future anticipated cash flows discounted to reflect the current market interest rates for investments of this type. Any appreciation (depreciation) of the Retained Interests is either recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and included as a component of beneficiaries equity or recorded as a realized loss and reflected in the consolidated statement of income.

The estimated future cash flows are based in part upon our estimate of prepayment speeds and default rates. There can be no assurance of the accuracy of these estimates.

Assets Acquired in Liquidation:
Assets acquired in liquidation are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral obtained upon foreclosure of a loan. Upon foreclosure of the collateral underlying a loan, the loan and any reserves are removed from our books.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:
We generally consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At various times during the year we maintain cash, cash equivalents and restricted investments in accounts in excess of federally insured limits with various financial institutions. We regularly monitor the financial institutions and do not believe a significant credit risk is associated with the deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.

Deferred Borrowing Costs:
Costs incurred by us in connection with the issuance of notes payable are being amortized over the life of the related obligation using the effective interest method.

Interest Income:
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are deemed collectible. Our policy is to suspend the accrual of interest income when a loan becomes greater than 60 days delinquent.

F-9

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lease Income:
The fixed lease payments are reported as income in accordance with the terms of the lease agreements. In addition, we receive 2% of the monthly room revenue of our leased properties to be used for property improvements. Such revenue is reported as income as earned.

Income Taxes:
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to a federal corporate income tax on our taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. In order to remain qualified as a REIT under the Code, we must satisfy various requirements in each taxable year, including, among others, limitations on share ownership, asset diversification, sources of income, and distribute at least 95% of our taxable income in the fiscal year. Distributions made during the year ended December 31, 2000 include a 22% return of capital and a 6% capital gain distribution for Federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications:
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or total beneficiaries’ equity.

NOTE 2. Loans Receivable:

We primarily originate loans: (i) to small business enterprises that exceed the net worth, asset, income, number of employee or other limitations applicable to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) programs utilized by PMC Capital or (ii) in excess of $1.1 million to small business enterprises without regard to SBA eligibility requirements. Such loans are primarily collateralized by first liens on real estate.

The principal amount of loans we originated generally have not exceeded 70% of the lesser of appraised value or cost of the real estate collateral unless credit enhancements such as additional collateral or third party guarantees were obtained. Our loans typically provide interest payments at fixed rates, although we may also originate and purchase variable rate loans. Loans generally have maturities ranging from five to 20 years. Most loans provide for scheduled amortization and some have a balloon payment requirement. In most cases, borrowers are entitled to prepay all or part of the principal amount subject to a prepayment penalty based on the terms of the loan.

At December 31, 2000, approximately 23% and 10% of our retained loan portfolio consisted of loans to borrowers in Texas and Maryland, respectively. No other state had a concentration of 10% or greater at December 31, 2000 and 1999. Our retained loan portfolio was approximately 95% and 97% concentrated in the lodging industry at December 31, 2000 and 1999. There can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the positive results historically achieved from these lending activities or that market conditions will enable us to maintain or increase this level of loan concentration. Any economic factors that negatively impact the lodging industry could have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, a decline in economic conditions in Texas or Maryland may adversely affect us.

NOTE 3. Real Estate Investments:

Our real estate investments consist of 29 hospitality properties (the “Hotel Properties”) we purchased from Amerihost Properties, Inc. (“Amerihost”) under a sales/leaseback agreement. Pursuant to the sale/leaseback agreement, we lease the Hotel Properties to Amerihost Inns, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amerihost, for an initial 10-year period, with two renewal options of five years each, and with consumer price index (“CPI”) increases up to a maximum of two percent per year beginning after the third year. We purchased 26 of the Hotel Properties during June 1998 for $62.2 million and we acquired the remaining four Hotel Properties during March 1999 for $10.8 million. During June 2000 we sold one of our Hotel Properties for cash proceeds of $3.1 million resulting in a gain of $304,000. At December 31, 2000, the aggregate base rent payment for the Hotel Properties was $7.1 million per year subject to the CPI increases as described above, plus 2% of the gross room revenues as defined in the master lease agreement. Amerihost guarantees the lease payment obligation of Amerihost Inns in the master lease agreement. Amerihost is a public entity that files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information about Amerihost can be obtained from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

NOTE 4. Retained Interest in Transferred Assets:

Upon securitization and sale of our loan pools, we value the Retained Interests in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 125 (“SFAS 125”) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” since our securitizations meet the definition of a transfer under SFAS 125. Our Retained Interests are comprised of three separate assets; (1) the “Reserve Fund,” and the interest earned thereon, which is the required cash to be kept in a liquid cash account pursuant to the securitization documents, (2) the subordinated portion of the sold loans (commonly referred to as the “B” Piece or the “over-collateralized"/ “OC” portions of the loans), and (3) the excess cash flow that is to be received by us in the future after payment of (a) all interest and principal amount due to the purchaser of the loans or the “Noteholders,” (b) payment of all principal and interest on the “B” Piece, (c) the repayment of the corpus of the Reserve Fund, and (d) costs. This excess cash is the interest-only strip receivable or the “IO Receivable.”

Due to the limited number of companies that securitize our type of loans, the relatively small size of our Retained Interests, and the limited number of buyers for securitization traunches other than “Aaa,” no quoted market value of our Retained Interests exists. Therefore, the fair value is based on management’s estimate of the fair market value. This value may or may not vary significantly from what a willing buyer would pay for these assets.

Utilizing the present value of expected future cash flows technique requires that estimates be used in determining (1) the amount of expected future cash flows, (2) the timing of those cash flows, and (3) the discount rate. The value of our Retained Interests is determined based on management’s assumptions concerning, among other things, anticipated defaults and loan losses and anticipated prepayment speeds. The discount rates that we utilize are determined for each of the assets comprising the Retained Interests based upon the inherent risk associated with each asset. Actual defaults and prepayments may vary from our assumptions, possibly to a material degree.

Our retained interests are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2000:

OC Piece	$	6,234

On December 18, 2000, we completed a co-securitization transaction with PMC Capital. We completed the securitized sale of a pool of fixed-rate loans through a private placement (the “2000 Joint Venture”). Both PMC Commercial and PMC Capital contributed loans to the 2000 Joint Venture. The 2000 Joint Venture issued approximately $74.5 million of its 2000 Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes (the “2000 Notes”) of which approximately $49.5 million (the “2000 PMCT Notes”) was allocated to PMC Commercial based on its ownership percentage in the 2000 Joint Venture. The ownership percentage is determined by dividing the principal balance outstanding on our loans sold by the principal balance outstanding on both our loans and the loans sold by PMC Capital. At inception of the 2000 Joint Venture, PMC Commercial owned a 66.5% limited partnership interest in the 2000 Joint Venture with the remainder being owned by PMC Capital. Our ownership of the 2000 Joint Venture will be reduced based on the principal payments received on the underlying loans contributed by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. In accordance with SFAS No. 125, the 2000 Joint Venture is a Qualifying Special Purpose Entity (“QSPE”) and as such, consolidation is precluded in the accompanying financial statements. The 2000 PMCT Notes were issued at par and have a stated maturity of July 2024. The 2000 PMCT Notes were issued with an annual interest rate of 7.28% and were originally collateralized by approximately $55.6 million of loans sold by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. The 2000 Notes were rated “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service. This transaction has been accounted for as a sale in accordance with SFAS 125 and accordingly, we recorded a gain of approximately $1,117,000 in connection with this transaction.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2000 PMCT Notes (approximately $49.5 million prior to payment of issuance costs of approximately $0.4 million and the funding of approximately $1.6 million for a reserve fund held by the trustee as collateral) were distributed to PMC Commercial. Our share of the profits from the 2000 Joint Venture and the 2000 LLC will be based upon the cash flow received from the underlying loans contributed by PMC Commercial to the 2000 Joint Venture. PMC Advisers is the servicer for all loans held by the 2000 Joint Venture.

The terms of the 2000 PMCT Notes provide that the partners of the 2000 Joint Venture are not liable for any payments on the 2000 PMCT Notes. Accordingly, if the 2000 Joint Venture fails to pay the 2000 PMC Notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the 2000 PMCT Notes is against the assets of the 2000 Joint Venture. Accordingly, we have no obligation to pay the 2000 PMCT Notes, nor do the holders of the 2000 PMC Notes have any recourse against our assets. PMC Commercial and PMC Capital have entered into an indemnification agreement regarding the performance of their respective loans sold to the 2000 Joint Venture. To the extent that poor performance by one of the company’s sold loans (the “Underperforming Company”) is pervasive enough to cause the other company (the “Performing Company”) to not receive cash flow that it otherwise would have received, then the Underperforming Company must make the Performing Company whole. If the cash flow reduction is considered to be temporary, then interest will be paid as compensation to the Performing Company. If the reduction of cash flows is deemed permanent, the balance of reduction to cash flows must be paid to the Performing Company by the Underperforming Company. Based on our present cash flow assumptions, including stress test analysis of increasing the anticipated losses on each of the loan pools, it does not appear that the loans sold by PMC Commercial will cause any permanent cash flow reductions to PMC Capital nor will the loans sold by PMC Capital cause any permanent cash flow reductions to PMC Commercial.

In determining the gain on sale of loans and fair value of the Retained Interests related to our securitization and sale transaction, we utilized certain assumptions which include:


Prepayment rate (a)		8% CPR

Loss rate (b)		Range from 0.4% to 0.7% per annum

Discount rate (c)		Range from 9.3% to 14%


	(a) The prepayment rate is based on current performance of the respective loan pool, adjusted for anticipated principal payments considering the current loan pool and similar loans.


	(b) Credit exposure exists to the extent of possible default on the underlying collateral requiring payment from anticipated future residual interests. We believe that a range of 0.4% to 0.7% loss rate covers this inherent risk.


	(c) The discount rates are as of December 31, 2000 and are based upon our estimate of comparable rates of discount which would be used by potential purchasers of similar assets. The discount rate (1) is 9.3% for our “B” Piece, (2) is 11% for our Reserve Fund and (3) is 14% for our IO Receivable.

The escrow and capital expenditures accounts represent restricted investments maintained pursuant to the sale/leaseback agreement with Amerihost. The escrow account includes a deposit of two months’ base rent. The capital expenditures account consists of deposits made by Amerihost for future capital expenditures required to maintain the real estate investments. In accordance with the terms of our lease agreements, in addition to the guaranteed lease payments, we receive 2% of the monthly room revenues from our Hotel Properties. Such amounts are recorded as revenue as earned. Our lease agreement requires us to deposit the 2% received into a capital expenditures account. Funds are released from this account when capital expenditures are incurred.

NOTE 6. Notes Payable

Revolving Credit Facility
We have a revolving credit facility which provides funds to originate loans collateralized by commercial real estate. The revolving credit facility, as amended in November 1999, provides us with credit availability up to $45 million. We have a maximum amount (the “Borrowing Base”) that we can borrow that is based on our loans that are

F-16

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

used as collateral for this facility. The Borrowing Base available on each loan is the greater of (a) 60% of the value of the project underlying the loan collateralizing the borrowing or (b) 85% of the amount of the loan outstanding. At December 31, 2000, we had no borrowings outstanding and availability of $45 million. At December 31, 1999, we had a $45 million credit facility with $34.6 million outstanding. We are charged interest on the balance outstanding under the credit facility at our election of either the prime rate of the lender or 162.5 basis points over the 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR. The credit facility requires us to meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which provides that the ratio of total liabilities to net worth (as defined in the credit facility) will not exceed 2.0 times. At December 31, 2000 we were in compliance with all covenants of this facility. The facility matures on November 29, 2002.

1998 Notes Payable
In June 1998, the 1998 Partnership completed a private placement (the “1998 Private Placement”) of $66,100,000 of its Fixed Rate Loan Backed Notes, Series 1998-1 (the “1998 Notes Payable”). In connection with this transaction, the 1998 Notes were given a rating of “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The 1998 Notes Payable, issued at par, have a stated maturity of May 1, 2019, bear interest at the rate of 6.37% per annum, and were collateralized by an initial amount of approximately $71.9 million of loans that we contributed to the 1998 Partnership. PMC Advisers services the loans contributed to the 1998 Partnership. We have no obligation to pay the 1998 Notes nor do the holders of the 1998 Notes have any recourse against our assets. Accordingly, if the 1998 Partnership fails to pay the 1998 Notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the 1998 Notes is against the assets of the 1998 Partnership. At December 31, 2000, the 1998 Partnership’s assets (which are consolidated in our financial statements) consist solely of the loans acquired from us ($42.8 million), and funds held in collateral accounts related to collections on the loans ($1.7 million) and a required cash reserve account ($2.7 million). The 1998 Partnership conducts no business activity other than to make periodic principal and interest payments on the outstanding 1998 Notes Payable. The aggregate principal amount of the 1998 Notes Payable outstanding at December 31, 2000 was $38.3 million. All principal collected on the underlying loans during the monthly period (as defined in the related trust indenture) are used to make the required principal payment on the first business day of the following month.

Mortgage Notes Payable
During 1999, PMC Commercial entered into mortgage notes payable collateralized by six separate Hotel Properties. The mortgage notes payable mature in 2004 (except for one note in the amount of $ 1.5 million which matures in 2008), have amortization periods of 20 years, and rates ranging from 7.44% to 8.00%. At December 31, 2000, the balance outstanding on our mortgage notes payable was $8.3 million.

We assumed mortgage notes payable related to the four Hotel Properties acquired in March 1999 that aggregated $6.9 million at the time of assumption, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.0%. These mortgages are amortized over a 20-year period, have remaining maturities of between 14 and 19 years and have restrictive provisions which provide substantial penalties if paid prior to maturity. These mortgage notes payable are obligations of special purpose entities formed in connection with the purchase of these Hotel Properties. At December 31, 2000, the balance outstanding on these mortgage notes payable was $6.7 million, of which $2.9 million was not guaranteed by PMC Commercial.

Principal payments required on our mortgage notes payable are as follows:

NOTE 7. Borrower Advances:

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, we had approximately $1,284,000 and $828,000, respectively in funds held on behalf of borrowers, which is included as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As part of the monitoring process to verify that the borrowers’ cash equity is utilized for its intended purpose, we receive funds from the borrowers and release funds upon presentation of appropriate supporting documentation.

NOTE 8. Shareholder Distributions:

In December 2000, we declared a cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2000 in the amount of $0.365 per share, payable on January 8, 2001, to common shareholders of record on December 29, 2000.

NOTE 9. Related Party Transactions:

Our loans are originated and serviced by PMC Advisers, Ltd. and it subsidiary (together, “PMC Advisers”) pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “IMA”). Property acquisitions are supervised pursuant to a separate agreement with PMC Advisers entered into in June 1998 (the “Lease Supervision Agreement” and together with the IMA the “IMAs”).

Pursuant to the IMA, up through June 30, 2000, we were charged an annual fee between 0.40% and 1.67%, based upon the average principal outstanding of our loans. The maximum fee was reduced from 1.67% to 1.55% commencing July 1, 2000. PMC Advisers also earns fees for its assistance in the issuance of our debt and equity securities. The Lease Supervision Agreement provides for an annual fee of 0.70% of the original cost of the Hotel Properties to be paid to PMC Advisers for providing services relating to the leases on the Hotel Properties. In addition, the Lease Supervision Agreement provides for a fee in connection with the acquisition of properties of 0.75% of the acquisition cost. In the event the Lease Supervision Agreement with PMC Advisers is terminated or not renewed by PMC Commercial (other than as a result of a material breach by PMC Advisers) or terminated by PMC Advisers (as a result of a material breach by PMC Commercial), PMC Advisers would be entitled to receive the Lease Supervision Fee for a period of five years from the termination date.

NOTE 10. Earnings Per Share:

The weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest outstanding were 6,519,590, 6,529,780, and 6,497,924 for the periods ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding were increased by 256; 9,128; and, 5,512; for the effect of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 11. Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan:

We have a dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan (the “Plan”). Participants in the Plan have the option to reinvest all or a portion of dividends received. The purchase price of the Common Shares is 100% of the average of the closing price of the Common Shares as published for the five trading days immediately prior to the dividend record date or prior to the optional cash payment purchase date, whichever is applicable. The optional cash purchase plan was suspended during January, 2000. Additionally, since January 2000 we have been using the open market to purchase shares with proceeds from the dividend reinvestment portion of the Plan. Accordingly, there were no plan shares issued during the year ending December 31, 2000. During the years ended 1999 and 1998, 14,729; and 111,111 shares, respectively, were issued pursuant to the Plan.

NOTE 12. Share Repurchase Program:

Our Board has authorized a share repurchase program for up to 500,000 of our outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). The shares may be bought from time to time in the open market or pursuant to negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2000, we had acquired 105,250 shares under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $1,022,000, including commissions. Through February 28, 2001, we have purchased an additional 26,200 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $246,000, including commissions.

NOTE 13. Stock Based Compensation Plans :

We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation plans. In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) was issued which, if fully adopted by us, would have changed the methods we apply in recognizing the cost of our stock-based compensation plans. Adoption of the cost recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is optional and we did not adopt these provisions of SFAS No. 123. However, pro forma disclosures, as if we had adopted the cost recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, are required by SFAS No. 123 and are presented below.

We have two stock-based compensation plans, the 1993 Employee Share Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”) and the Trust Manager Share Option Plan (the “Trust Manager Plan”), referred to collectively as the “Stock Option Plans.” The Stock Option Plans provide that the exercise price of any stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. We have discretion in determining the vesting terms applicable to stock options granted under the Plans. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plans, we are authorized to grant stock options up to an aggregate of 6% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding at any time (a maximum of approximately 386,000 shares at December 31, 2000) as incentive stock options (intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended) and/or as options that are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options.

Only the trust managers who are not employees of PMC Capital or the Investment Manager (the “Non-employee Trust Managers”) are eligible to participate in the Trust Managers Plan. The Trust Managers Plan is a nondiscretionary plan pursuant to which options to purchase 2,000 shares are granted to each Non-employee Trust Manager on the date such trust manager takes office. In addition, options to purchase 1,000 shares are granted on June 1 of each year. Such options will be exercisable at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The

F-19

options granted under the Trust Managers Plan become exercisable one year after date of grant and expire if not exercised on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the option holder no longer holds office as an Non-employee Trust Manager for any reason or (ii) within five years after date of grant. We issued 5,000 options under the Trust Managers Plan during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts.

NOTE 14. Fair Values of Financial Instruments:

The estimates of fair value as required by SFAS No. 107 differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange or the amount that ultimately will be realized by us upon maturity or disposition.

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:


			Years Ended December 31,

			2000					1999

						Estimated				Estimated
			Carrying			Fair		Carrying		Fair
			Amount			Value		Amount		Value

Assets:




	Loans receivable, net			$	65,645	$	67,161	$	115,265	$	117,188




	Retained interest in transferred assets				11,203		11,203		—		—




	Cash and cash equivalents				487		487		228		228




	Restricted investments				6,709		6,195		9,616		8,991




Liabilities:




		Notes payable			53,235		52,825		63,152		61,500




		Revolving credit facility			—		—		34,605		34,605


	Loans receivable, net: The estimated fair value for all fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities.

	Retained interest in loans sold: The assets are reflected in our consolidated financial statements at estimated fair value based on valuation techniques as described in Note 4.

	Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimation of fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

F-21

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


	Restricted Investments: The fair value of the reserve fund associated with the 1998 structured financing is estimated by utilizing discounted cash flow techniques based on management’s estimates of market rates considering interest rate levels at the time of completion of the transaction and risks inherent in the transaction. The carrying amount of the remaining restricted investments is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

	Notes payable: The estimated fair value is based on present value calculation based on prices of the same or similar instruments after considering risk, current interest rates and remaining maturities.

	Revolving Credit Facility: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimation of fair value as the interest rate on this instrument is a variable rate of interest.

NOTE 15. Quarterly Financial Data: (unaudited)

The following represents our selected quarterly financial data which, in the opinion of management, reflects adjustments (comprising only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation.

NOTE 17. Commitments and Contingencies:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. At December 31, 2000, we had approximately $22.2 million of total loan commitments and approvals outstanding to 19 small business concerns predominantly in the lodging industry. Of the total loan commitments and approvals outstanding, we had approximately $7.2 million of loan commitments outstanding pertaining to eight partially funded construction loans and $2.6 million of commitments under the SBA 504 takeout program at December 31, 2000. The weighted average interest rate on loan commitments at December 31, 2000 was 10.3%. The above commitments are made in the ordinary course of business and, in management’s opinion, are generally on the same terms as those to existing borrowers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and require payment of a fee. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Pursuant to the IMA, if we do not have funds available for our commitments, such commitments will be referred back to PMC Advisers.

We receive distributions from the 1998 Partnership. Pursuant to the trust indenture, distributions of the net assets of our wholly-owned subsidiaries are limited. As of December 31, 2000, the dividends available for distribution from the 1998 Partnership were approximately $204,000, which was distributed to us in January 2001.

NOTE 19. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125. SFAS No 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of SFAS No. 125’s provisions without reconsideration. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 140 should be applied prospectively to transfers of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001 while the disclosure requirements are required for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. We do not anticipate that the impact of SFAS No. 140 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2000, EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”) was issued. EITF 99-20 provides guidance on interest income recognition and measurement guidance for interests retained in a securitization transaction accounted for as a sale and for purchased beneficial interests. EITF 99-20 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2000. The impact of adoption of EITF 99-20 will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 20. Subsequent Events:

On January 24, 2001 we amended our existing lease agreement with Amerihost relating to the Hotel Properties. Amerihost now has the option to either purchase or facilitate the purchase of eight of the Hotel Properties prior to June 30, 2004. The sale prices are set forth in the amended lease agreement. The stipulated price for each of the Hotel Properties exceeds our cost basis in the Hotel Properties. To the extent the purchases are not completed in an agreed upon time frame, the amended lease agreement provides for rent increases on our remaining Hotel Properties. In addition, the amendment modified the lease term extensions relating to the properties remaining in our portfolio. In connection with the amended agreement, during January and February 2001, we sold two properties for a net gain of approximately $500,000.
