PMC Capital, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results

PMC Capital, Inc.
AMEX (Symbol PMC)

     
Dallas, TX   August 12, 2003

PMC Capital, Inc. (AMEX: PMC) announced second quarter and year-to-date results today. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”) was $1,088,000, or $0.09 per share, compared to $2,464,000, or $0.20 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income was $1,746,000, or $0.14 per share, compared to $4,144,000, or $0.34 per share. The reduction in net income was a result of (i) a reduction in gain on sale of assets since no structured loan sale transaction was completed during 2003, (ii) merger costs which are required to be expensed as incurred and (iii) decreased interest income due to lower variable interest rates combined with a reduction in our weighted average loans receivable.

Lance B. Rosemore, President of PMC Capital, Inc. stated, “Our second quarter net investment income remained consistent with our first quarter performance. I am pleased with these results considering the continuation of low short-term interest rates and the delay in completing our planned securitization. We are cautiously optimistic that a securitization transaction will be accomplished before the end of our third quarter. While our fundings for the remainder of the year will be impacted by the delay, completion of a transaction should facilitate originations of our LIBOR-based loans. Our portfolio has continued to perform well with minimal unrealized losses on our loans through the first half of the year and continued good performance of the loans which have been sold in our securitizations. Our trailing twelve-month net losses on our loans as of June 30, 2003 were approximately $311,000 compared to $739,000 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2002.

“Excluding the gain of $1.5 million on our securitization completed in the second quarter of 2002, net income would have been consistent with the second quarter of 2002. Considering that the weighted average interest rate of our portfolio is now lower, we are pleased with these results. We are well positioned to increase our operating profits in the event that short-term interest rates increase.”

Lance B. Rosemore further stated, “We announced our plans to merge with PMC Commercial Trust on March 27, 2003 and we look forward to the completion of the merger.”

Completion of the merger, now expected to occur on January 1, 2004 but not later than February 29, 2004, is subject to approval by the shareholders of PMC Capital and PMC Commercial Trust, certain governmental consents and customary closing conditions.
