The Company specifically considered approximately $320,000 and $660,000 of its
client advances impaired at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively, and has discontinued the accrual of interest income. The allowance
for credit losses related to these impaired loans for the same periods was $0
and approximately $30,000, respectively.

The adequacy of the provision for credit losses recorded by the Company is
assessed by management based in part on the level of net charge-offs relative to
accounts receivable purchased. These statistics are believed to be significant
indicators of inherent losses because the receivables portfolio turns over
approximately seven times each year. Accounts receivable which are past due will
not be written off if, in the opinion of management, collection is likely from
the customer, client or collateral realization, if any. In making this
determination, management considers the quality of the collateral, the
creditworthiness of the customer and client, economic conditions and other
factors which may be relevant. This statistical assessment is supplemented by a
review of the recorded allowance for credit losses at each month end and
relative to total accounts receivable at month end, taking into consideration
specific potential problem accounts, accounts purchased with recourse where
payment has not been made by the Company to its client, and other factors which
may be relevant.

Historically, the provision for credit losses as a percentage of factored sales
and net charge-offs as a percentage of factored sales ranged from 0.11% to 0.30%
and 0.05% to 0.30%, respectively. The provision for credit losses as a
percentage of factored sales increased to 0.16% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 0.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net
charge-offs as a percentage of factored sales decreased from 0.15% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Based on these relationships, and a review of the recorded allowance and
accounts receivable at each period end, management believes the provisions and
allowance to be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the accounts
receivable portfolio. Because the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance
and provisions for credit losses involves a significant degree of estimation and
is subject to change, future provisions for credit losses may be greater or less
than actual charge-offs.

ITEM 2

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 CAPITAL FACTORS HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Introduction

Capital Factors Holding, Inc. ("Holding") is a majority owned subsidiary of
Capital Bank (the "Bank"), a Florida commercial bank. The Bank is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Capital Bancorp ("Bancorp"). Holding has three wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Capital Factors, Inc. ("Factors"), CF One, Inc. and CF Investor
Corp. Factors has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, CF Funding Corp. and Capital
TempFunds, Inc. Throughout this discussion, Holding, Factors, and their
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company".

On August 12, 1997, Capital Bancorp ("Bancorp") entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with Union Planters Corporation ("UPC"). Under
the Agreement, each share of common stock of Bancorp will be exchanged for .8525
of a share of UPC common stock. The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval,
approval by Bancorp's shareholders and the satisfaction of certain normal
contractual conditions.

The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in the
financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. In
addition, this Form 10-Q may contain certain "forward-looking statements" which
represent the Company's expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to,
statements concerning the Company's operations, performance, financial
condition, and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in the Form
10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend,"
"could," "estimate," or "continue," or the negative or other variation thereof
or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties,
such as credit losses, dependence on availability of funding sources, dilution
of receivables, concentration of client base and client customer base,
dependence on management and key personnel, seasonality, and variability of
quarterly results, ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy,
competition, inability to directly collect healthcare receivables from Medicare
and Medicaid, dilution of healthcare receivables, control by majority
shareholder, and regulatory restrictions relating to potential new activities,
Bancorp and Capital Bank litigation, certain of which are beyond the Company's
control, and actual results may differ materially depending on variety of
important factors which are noted herein. The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in
this report.

The Company provides fee-based services to its clients, including credit
protection, collection and management information services, and also makes
advances to many of its clients. Clients are generally manufacturers of goods or
providers of services in various industries. At the time the Company purchases
the factored receivables, the Company records a receivable and an offsetting
liability "due to factoring client." Advances, which are interest earning and
secured by the client's factored receivables, are recorded by the Company as
reductions to the amounts due to the factoring client for factored receivables.
Cash collections from the client's customers are used to repay the client's
loans. If, as a result of financial inability to pay, a client's customer fails
to pay a receivable that was credit-approved by the Company, the Company will
ultimately bear any loss with respect to such receivable. In the event of
dilution in excess of the unfinanced portion of receivables, where factored
receivables are not fully collected for a reason other than the customer's
financial inability to pay, such as breach of warranty, the Company will in
practice typically need to look to newer receivables of the client for the
collection of the outstanding obligation to the Company and may not be repaid.

In contrast to the Company's purchase of factored receivables, when the Company
makes an asset-based loan, a client assigns its collateral (usually account
receivable and inventory) to the Company. Upon request of the client, the
Company may advance funds to the client as a loan in an amount based upon the
eligible collateral. When funds are advanced to the



                                       8

client, a loan receivable balance is created, and cash is disbursed. Although
the Company loans funds to the client based on eligible collateral, the Company
provides no credit protection and, accordingly, does not assume the risk of loss
from a client's customers' inability to pay, although the Company may actually
suffer a loss if all sources of repayment fail, including other collateral and
guarantees, if any. In connection with asset-based loans, instead of a factoring
fee, the Company earns a facility fee. Both factored advances and asset-based
loans bear interest at a rate tied to the prime rate.

The Company operates through four regional offices, and in January 1997, it
opened an office in Atlanta which specializes in asset-based loans. In May 1997,
the Company's corporate headquarters and the Florida regional office re-located
to leased office space in Boca Raton. The Company's operations center remains in
Fort Lauderdale. The Company currently has over 400 clients who generate annual
sales from $500,000 to over $100 million, and services over 100,000 customers of
those clients. The majority of the Company's customers are large national or
regional department store chains or specialty retailers. At September 30, 1997,
the largest amount due from any one customer, a national department store chain,
was approximately $31.6 million.

The Company's factored sales volume can be affected in several ways, including
new clients, client retention or losses, inflation and other economic
conditions. Additionally, fluctuations in the sales dollar volume of the
Company's clients, both positive and negative, have a direct impact on the
Company's factored sales volume and factoring fees. In this regard, the Company
has historically experienced seasonal fluctuations in its factored sales volume
and factoring fees as a result of the seasonality of the sales of certain of the
Company's clients, especially those in the apparel industry, who typically ship
more goods during the four-month period of August through November in order to
fill increased customer orders in anticipation of "back to school" and the
ensuing holiday season. The Company realized approximately 40% of its annual
factored sales volume during this 4-month period in 1996 and 1995.

Management believes that one of the essential tools in maintaining and managing
growth of the Company is the monitoring of certain key financial ratios. The
Company monitors the key components of its income statement data, such as
factoring fees, net interest income, other income, provision for credit losses
and operating expenses, as a percentage of its factored sales volume. These key
ratios allow the Company to monitor its performance in achieving its goals of
(i) obtaining higher gross margins on factoring fee income, (ii) increasing fee
income as a percentage of cash employed, (iii) reducing credit losses, (iv)
controlling costs, and (v) maximizing return to its investors. Management also
monitors both accounts receivable turnover and the aging of customers' accounts
receivable, with particular emphasis on amounts greater than 60 days past due.

Monitoring Asset Quality and Credit Losses

The monitoring of asset quality is a routine function performed by management to
control credit losses. Monitoring asset quality involves the periodic review,
sometimes daily, of such pertinent financial statistics as the aging of the
accounts receivable portfolio, accounts receivable turnover, dilution and
charge-offs. The Company's allowance for credit losses is determined after
evaluating the receivables portfolio, current market conditions, changes in the
nature and volume of the portfolio, past loss experience and other pertinent
factors.

Set forth below are those ratios and statistics utilized by management in
monitoring asset quality for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1996:

(1)  Management considers the aging of credit-approved receivables a more
     meaningful measure of exposure to credit risk than the aging of total
     receivables. The Company guarantees payment of receivables which it credit
     approves if the receivable was not paid based solely on the customers
     financial inability to pay.
(2)  Funds employed are receivables less amounts due to factoring clients.
(3)  Computed by dividing provision for credit losses by average funds employed
     for each period presented. The provision for credit losses as a percentage
     of average funds advanced for each of the periods presented was lower than
     the provision for credit losses as a percentage of average funds employed.
(4)  Computed by dividing net charge-offs by average funds employed for each
     period presented. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average advances for
     each of the periods presented was lower than net charge-offs as a
     percentage of average funds employed.

(5)  Computed by dividing non-accruing advances by funds employed at the end of
     each respective period indicated. Non-accruing advances as a percentage of
     advances during each period presented was lower than non-accruing advances
     as a percentage of funds employed.
(6)  Computed on an annualized basis.

The Company regularly reviews its outstanding accounts receivable and other
extensions of credit, such as advances to clients, to determine the adequacy of
its allowance for credit losses. Factors such as the level of related credit
balances of clients and the impact of economic conditions on the
creditworthiness of the Company's clients and the client's customers are given
significant consideration in determining the adequacy of the Company's allowance
for credit losses. The Company's methodology for calculating its reserve for
doubtful accounts has remained consistent for the periods shown above, and
includes a specific and general component. Specific reserves are established for
receivables and client advances which the Company's management deems to be
wholly or partially uncollectible. The general reserve represents 0.75% of those
receivables (other than healthcare receivables and asset-based loans, which have
a lower general reserve) that are not specifically reserved for but for which
the Company has provided credit guarantees.

The provision for credit losses as a percentage of factored sales increased to
0.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 0.15% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The provision for credit losses as a percentage
of average receivables and the provision for credit losses as a percentage of
average funds employed increased to 0.92% and 1.40%, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, from 0.91% and 1.36%, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, reflecting a higher net charge-off rate.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of factored sales decreased from 0.15% for the
period ended September 30, 1996 to 0.11% for the period ended September 30,
1997. Charge offs included a $1,350,000 write-off resulting from a client's
bankruptcy filing in the first quarter and $1,471,000 in customer bad debts. In
1996, the Company charged off $1.1 million in customer bad debts, including a
charge-off of $600,000 related to the bankruptcy of a large Northeastern
regional chain store customer. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average
receivables and net charge-offs as a percentage of average funds employed
decreased 0.29% and 0.43%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Net charge-offs as a percentage of
factored sales ranged from 0.05% to 0.30% in the 1992-1996 period.

Non-accruing advances as a percentage of funds employed have historically
remained below 1.00% and at September 30, 1997 and September 30 1996 were 0.07%
and 0.22%, respectively. Non-accruing advances as a percentage of receivables
was 0.05% at September 30, 1997 and 0.14% at September 30, 1996. Management
believes that non-accruing advance fluctuations below 1.0% are a normal part of
the Company's ongoing business and are not significant.

Credit-approved accounts receivable past due more than 60 days as a percentage
of credit-approved factored receivables and credit-approved accounts receivable
past due more than 90 days as a percentage of credit-approved factored
receivables equaled 4.22% and 1.87%, respectively, at September 30, 1997 as
compared to 2.13% and 1.70%, respectively, at September 30, 1996. The increase
in the 60 day delinquency ratio is primarily related to certain clients who have
experienced operational problems with EDI transmissions with some major retail
chain stores which has led to an extended payment cycle on such receivables. The
60 day delinquency ratio was also adversely affected by the bankruptcy of a
large Midwestern chain store, for which the Company has certain first loss
deductible arrangements with its clients. Accounts receivable past due more than
60 days as a percentage of total factored receivables and accounts receivable
past due more than 90 days as a percentage of total factored receivables equaled
8.83% and 5.60%, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997 as compared to 7.63% and 4.80%, respectively, for the six month period
ended September 30, 1996.

Financial Condition - September 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996

Total assets increased to $736.1 million at September 30, 1997 from $530.6
million at December 31, 1996. The $205.5 million increase was due primarily to a
$193.7 million dollar increase in net receivables. The Company's accounts
receivable balance typically peaks prior to the holiday season due to increased
customer orders.

Factored accounts receivables increased $128.2 million primarily as a result of
increased factored sales. The Company's factored accounts receivable are due
from clients' customers geographically located throughout the United States,



                                       11

<PAGE>   12

principally retailers, manufacturers and distributors. Asset based loans, which
represent loans provided to clients principally collateralized by accounts
receivable, increased $43.1 million from $36.0 million at December 31, 1996 to
$79.1 million at September 30, 1997.

The increase in assets was principally funded by an increase in the debt
outstanding under the Company's variable rate asset backed certificates, the
Securitized Financings and its $50 million revolving credit facility with an
unaffiliated bank. Outstanding debt under the Securitized Financings increased
to $275.0 million at September 30, 1997 from $175.0 million at December 31, 1996
due to the Company's issuance and full funding of a fourth series of variable
rate asset-backed certificates (the "Variable Funding Certificates"). Unlike the
previously issued certificates which were fixed as to principal amount, the
Variable Funding Certificates provide for a monthly settlement of principal,
which may increase or decrease the outstanding amount. Under this series, the
senior Variable Funding Certificates bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and the
senior subordinated Variable Funding Certificates bear interest at LIBOR plus
1.50%, 6.41% and 7.16%, respectively, at September 30, 1997. (See Liquidity and
Capital Resources). At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had
$36.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively, outstanding under its $50 million
facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%. This increase in debt was
collateralized by increased asset-based loans and healthcare receivables.

Stockholders' equity increased approximately $9.1 million during the first nine
months of 1997 as a result of net income earned by the Company and the exercise
of 3,400 employee stock options.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three
Months Ended September 30, 1996.

Net income increased 11.5% to approximately $3.6 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 from approximately $3.3 million for the
comparable period in 1996 due to an increase in operating revenues which were
partially offset by a $900,000 increase in the quarterly provision for credit
losses, and increases in operating expenses, including compensation accruals
required in connection with the company's stock option plan. Operating revenues
increased from approximately $12.4 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 to approximately $15.3 million for the comparable period in
1997, a 23.5% increase. These increases were primarily a result of a 23.2%
increase in the Company's factored sales volume from $708.9 million to $873.4
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 and September 30,
1997, respectively, and the resulting increase in interest income and factoring
fees. The factored sales volume increases were attributable to increased
customer orders in anticipation of the ensuing holiday season and continued
growth of the Company's four regional factoring offices.

Factoring fee income increased to approximately $8.1 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $6.9 million for
the three month period ended September 30, 1996. Factoring fee income as a
percentage of factored sales for the three month periods decreased from 0.97% in
1996 to 0.93% in 1997. This decline was the result of lower factoring fees
charged to high volume clients. The Company typically receives lower factoring
fees from high volume clients because, among other reasons, high volume clients
do not have the same servicing needs as smaller clients, requiring less labor
intensive services to be performed by the Company and because there is increased
competition for such clients' business.

Net interest income (interest income less interest expense) increased to
approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
approximately $4.2 million for the comparable period in 1996, a 29.7% increase,
principally as a result of an increase of $88.1 million in average outstanding
funds employed for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in the prior year. Net interest income was also favorably impacted
by continued interest expense reductions achieved through the use of financing
programs with lower interest rates. On April 30, 1997, the Company issued the
Variable Funding Certificates which provide for a monthly settlement of
principal, which may increase or decrease the outstanding amount. This fourth
series of variable rate asset backed certificates includes the issuance of
$95.25 million of senior Variable Funding Certificates and $4.75 million of
senior subordinated Variable Funding Certificates. The Variable Funding
Certificates were fully funded at $95.25 million and $4.75 million,
respectively, at September 30, 1997 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and
1.50%, respectively, (6.41% and 7.16%, respectively, at


                                       12

September 30, 1997). The Company entered into a $50,000,000 revolving loan
agreement bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.15% in April 1996 with an
unaffiliated bank. Average borrowings from the revolving loan during the three
month period ended September 30, 1997 equaled approximately $29.9 million and
had an effective interest rate of 8.1% for the three month period. Additionally,
the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CF One, issued $10,000,000 in
subordinated notes in May 1996, bearing a fixed annual interest rate of 7.95%.
The funds raised through the above transactions were used to reduce higher
interest debt (8.5% at September 30, 1997) outstanding under the debt facility
with Capital Bank.

Letter of credit and other fee income increased to approximately $1,175,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $871,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, a 34.8% increase. Letter of credit fees increased
approximately 46.0% or $136,000 during the three month period while other fee
income increased by approximately $168,000 due to the increased, over advance
fees, factoring volume and asset based lending activities.

The provision for credit losses increased to $1,600,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $700,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996. Provisions for credit losses as a percentage of factored sales increased
to 0.18% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 0.10% for
the comparable period in 1996 (see "Monitoring Asset Quality and Credit
Losses").

Operating expenses increased from $5,935,000 to $7,556,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended September
30, 1996. This $1.6 million or 27.3% increase is primarily the result of the
move of the corporate headquarters to Boca Raton, expansion in the regional
offices and the healthcare division, start-up costs in the Atlanta office,
expenses related to Capital TempFunds, Inc., which was acquired in August 1996
and compensation expense related to the compensatory nature of the Company'
stock option plan. The compensation accrual, which is tied to increases in the
market value of the Company's stock was $226,000 ($0.01 per share) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Results of Operations - Nine months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine
months Ended September 30, 1996.

Net income increased 17.8% to approximately $9.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from approximately $7.7 million for the comparable
period in 1996 due primarily to an increase in operating revenues. Operating
revenues (total revenues less interest expense) increased from approximately
$32.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 to
approximately $41.1 million for the comparable period in 1997, a 25.7% increase.
These increases were primarily a result of a 24.5% increase in the Company's
factored sales volume from $1.9 billion to $2.3 billion for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively, and the
resulting increase in interest income and factoring fees. The factored sales
volume increases were attributable to increased customer orders in anticipation
of the ensuing holiday season and continued growth of the Company's client base,
in all four regional offices.

Factoring fee income increased 18.9% to approximately $22.0 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $18.5 million
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as a result of a 24.5%
increase in factored sales. Factoring fee income as a percentage of factored
sales for the nine month periods decreased from .98% in 1996 to 0.94% in 1997.
This decrease was due to lower factoring commission rates charged due to
competitive pricing on larger clients.

Net interest income (interest income less interest expense) increased to
approximately $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
approximately $10.7 million for the comparable period in 1996, a 33.4% increase.
The increase was principally as a result of the $17.6 million of net proceeds
raised by the Company's issuance of common stock in July 1996 and the issuance
of a fourth series of variable rate asset-backed certificates on April 30, 1997
of which $95.25 million of the senior Variable Funding Certificates and $4.75
million of the senior subordinated Variable Funding Certificates were fully
funded and outstanding at September 30, 1997 bearing interest at LIBOR plus
0.75% and LIBOR plus 1.50% respectively, (6.41% and 7.16%, respectively, at
September 30, 1997). The proceeds from both transactions

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

were used to reduce the debt outstanding under a debt facility with Capital
Bank. The interest rate on the Capital Bank facility was 8.5% at September 30,
1997. Additionally, the Company entered into a $50.0 million revolving loan
agreement bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.15% in April 1996 with an
unaffiliated bank. Average borrowings from the revolving loan during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 equaled approximately $24.4 million and
had an effective interest rate of 8.05% for the nine month period. Interest
income also increased due to an increase of $88.1 million in average outstanding
funds employed for nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same
period in the prior year.

Letter of credit and other fee income increased to approximately $3,246,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $2,396,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, a 35.5% increase. Letter of credit fees increased
approximately 42.8% or $370,000 and overadvance fees increased 100.5% or
$336,000 during the nine month period. Overadvances represent loans to clients
in excess of the factored accounts receivable, substantially all of which are
collateralized by assets other than receivables. Other fee income, such as wire
and audit fees, increased by approximately $144,000 due to the increased
factoring volume and asset-based lending activities.

The provision for credit losses equaled $3.8 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 and $2.8 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996. Of the year to date provision, $1,350,000 related to amounts
charged-off and reserves established due to a client's bankruptcy filing during
the first quarter. The remainder of the 1997 provision relates primarily to
customer accounts receivable, with net charge-offs of $2.7 million compared to
$2.9 million in the third quarter of 1996. Provisions for credit losses as a
percentage of factored sales increased to 0.16% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to 0.15% for the comparable period in 1996,
reflecting a slightly higher net charge-off rate for the quarter (see
"Monitoring Asset Quality and Credit Losses").

Operating expenses increased from $16.7 million to $22.0 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996. This $5.3 million or 32.0% increase is primarily the result
of the move of the Company's corporate headquarters to Boca Raton, expansion in
the regional offices and the healthcare division, start-up costs in the Atlanta
office, expenses related to Capital TempFunds, Inc. which was acquired in August
1996 and compensation expense related to the compensatory nature of the
Company's stock option plan. The compensation accrual, which is tied to
increases in the market value of the Company's stock, was $748,000, ($0.04 per
share) for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal source of funding is its asset securitization program,
the Securitized Financings. This funding is supplemented by the Company's line
of credit with the Bank and a revolving credit facility with an unaffiliated
bank.

The trust created in connection with the Securitized Financings (the "Trust")
had issued three series of asset-backed certificates (each, a "Certificate")
aggregating $175 million, including $100 million in June 1994, $25 million in
December 1994 and $50 million in July 1995. All of the Certificates were issued
to life insurance companies. Initially, the Certificates were rated "AA" by Duff
& Phelps Credit Rating Company and "A" by Fitch Investors Services, Inc.
Approximately one year after its initial rating, Fitch Investor Services, Inc.
upgraded its rating of the Certificates to "AA". The scheduled maturity date of
the Certificates corresponding to each series is December 1999 ($100 million),
June 2000 ($25 million), and January 2001 ($50 million), respectively. The
Certificates issued under each series bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% (6.91%
at September 30, 1997, excluding annualized transaction costs of 0.39%).
Interest is payable monthly. However, an early amortization event will occur if
the Company fails to satisfy certain financial covenants. The principal
financial covenants contained in the Securitized Financing agreements that the
Company must satisfy include, (i) consolidated net worth in excess of $18.5
million, (ii) tangible equity ratio of at least 6% (iii) accounts receivable
non-payment percentage of no more than 18%, (iv) 60-day accounts receivable
percentage of no more than 10% of total accounts receivable, (v) 90-day accounts
receivable percentage of no more than 4.5% of total accounts receivable, (vi)
weighted average factoring fee of at least 0.75%, (vii) weighted average
accounts receivable



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

turnover of less than 70 days, (viii) accounts receivable dilution of no more
than 11%, (ix) accounts receivable payment ratio for three consecutive periods
of more than 40%, (x) aggregate amount of subordinated certificates of no more
than 25% of senior certificates, (xi) subordinated certificates equal to or
greater than 7% of total certificates and (xii) value of accounts receivable
transferred to the Trust, of no less than 135% of aggregate certificates. In
addition, there are other covenants relating to the collateral, including
required capital levels, maximum dilution and delinquency ratios and minimum
subordination levels. The Company is in material compliance with these and all
other covenants contained in the Securitized Financing agreements. The Company
may continue to use the Securitized Financings for funding, provided eligible
advances are available for transfer to the Trust.

On April 30, 1997 the Trust issued a fourth series of variable rate asset-backed
certificates (the "Variable Funding Certificates") in connection with the
Securitized Financings. Unlike the previously issued Certificates which were
fixed as to principal amount, the Variable Funding Certificates provide for a
monthly settlement of principal, which may increase or decrease the outstanding
amount. The fourth series includes the issuance of $95.25 million of senior
Variable Funding Certificates and $4.75 million of senior subordinated Variable
Funding Certificates. The Certificates were rated "AAA" and "A", respectively by
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Company and "AA" and "BBB", respectively by Fitch
Investors Services Inc. At September 30, 1997 $95.25 million and $4.75 million,
respectively, of such certificates were outstanding. Management believes that
this type of Certificate will provide a more efficient means of funding the
seasonal fluctuations in the Company's overall funding requirements. Under this
series, the senior Variable Funding Certificates bear interest at LIBOR plus
0.75% and the senior subordinated Variable Funding Certificates bear interest at
LIBOR plus 1.50% (6.41% and 7.16%, respectively, at September 30, 1997,
excluding annualized transaction costs of 0.24%). In connection with any
additional secured indebtedness to be incurred by the Company, the Securitized
Financings require that all additional secured lenders enter into an
intercreditor agreement with the holders of the Certificates and the trustee of
the Trust. The Securitized Financings permit future purchases to the extent that
the Company generates eligible Advances. Generally, all of the client advances
made by the Company, with the exception of these made by its healthcare
division, as well as certain asset-based loans, are eligible for transfer to the
Trust. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had transferred to the Trust client
advances aggregating nearly $350.9 million.

In connection with this transaction, the Company formed a new wholly-owned
subsidiary, CF Investor Corp. CF Investor Corp., through a limited liability
corporation, CF Two, LLC., acquired the junior subordinated certificate issued
by the Trust.

The Company utilizes a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with an
unaffiliated bank which closed in April 1996 for $40.0 million and subsequently
increased to $50.0 million in August 1997. The indebtedness under this facility
is secured by advances not transferred to the Trust or eligible for transfer to
the Trust, most of which were made by the Company's healthcare division or were
asset-based loans, as well as all of the equipment used by the Company in its
operations. In order for this facility to be fully funded, the Company would
have to pledge an amount in excess of $55.6 million in advances. The
indebtedness under this facility may not exceed 90% of the value of the advances
pledged by the Company as collateral for such indebtedness. At September 30,
1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $36.5 million. The indebtedness
under this revolving facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.15%
(7.81% at September 30, 1997), payable monthly. The indebtedness under this
facility matures upon termination in March 1999, although it will be
automatically renewed for additional one year periods unless the Company or the
lender terminates it. This facility contains certain financial covenants and
ratios, including those relating to the Company's debt to net worth (no less
than 1 to 1), profitability ($5.2 million of annual consolidated net income) and
positive net cash flows (more than $1 per quarter). Funds borrowed under this
facility were used by the Company to pay down indebtedness under the Company's
line of credit with the Bank, and to fund certain of the Company's healthcare
financing activities and asset-based lending activities.

The Company also has a $150.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit with
Capital Bank, pursuant to which the Company had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $93.0 million at September 30, 1997. Amounts borrowed under this
facility are subject to the Banks overall statutory limitation on investments in
and advances to subsidiaries of 10% of assets. Based on the statutory
limitation, the maximum amount which could be outstanding under this line was
approximately $141.0 million at September 30, 1997. Indebtedness under this
facility bears interest at the prime rate, as


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

published in The Wall Street Journal (8.5% at September 30, 1997), is subject to
annual review by the Bank each June and is due on demand. The Facility has been
in place since 1985 and historically has been renewed for one-year periods in
June of each year. Interest is payable monthly. The Company generally has used
the Facility with the Bank to make advances to its clients.

In May 1996, CF One sold $10 million of subordinated notes (the "CF One Notes"),
which are collateralized by subordinated certificates that were issued in
connection with the Company's Securitized Financings. The CF One Notes, which
are due and payable in July 2001, bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 7.95%
and are rated "BBB" by both Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Company and Fitch
Investors Services, Inc. The principal purpose for the issuance of the CF One
Notes was to allow CF One to obtain additional financing by taking advantage of
the favorable financing terms resulting from an increase in the value of the
subordinated certificates held by CF One which are collateralized by assets held
by the Trust. The increase in the value of the subordinated certificates held by
CF One was the result of the favorable performance of the receivables and other
assets held in the Trust's portfolio.

In addition to the continued availability of the above financing, the Company's
future liquidity will continue to be dependent upon its ability to collect the
accounts receivable purchased from its clients. Of the Company's approximately
$687 million of customer accounts receivable outstanding at September 30, 1997,
approximately $303.8 million of customer receivables balances exceeded $1
million. These customers are primarily large national or regional department
store chains or specialty retailers. At September 30, 1997, the largest amount
due from any one customer, a national chain store, was approximately $31.6
million. In addition, the Company's accounts receivable turned over in an
average of 54 days and 51 days during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September
30, 1997. Management believes that it has the corporate infrastructure in place
to support its earnings growth for the foreseeable future. Management also
believes that funds available under the Company's current credit facilities
(assuming such facilities are renewed or replaced with similar facilities) and
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's working
capital requirements for the next 12 months. The impact on liquidity
requirements as it relates to the Union Planters Agreement has not yet been
determined.

M. HOLTZ, JAVIER J. HOLTZ, CAPITAL BANCORP, RUSSELL W. GALBUT, HUGH F.
CULVERHOUSE, JR., CRAIG L. PLATT, JEFFREY H. PORTER AND LEON J. SIMKINS, Circuit
Court for the 11th Judicial District in and for Dade County, Florida, Case No.
95-02520-CA-09.

On October 29, 1997, Bancorp announced that, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, there has been a settlement of such litigation matters,
which involved, among other things, certain allegations against Able Holtz, the
former chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of Bancorp
and Capital Bank and former chairman of the board for the Company, and members
of his family who are currently directors and/or officers of the Company,
Bancorp and Capital Bank. In entering into a settlement agreement, no party
admitted any wrongdoing.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Abel Holtz will surrender 140,000
shares of Bancorp Common Stock to Bancorp for cancellation. In addition, Bancorp
will pay $8.5 million to the plaintiff's counsel in the lawsuits as a compromise
resolution of all of the plaintiffs' claims for legal fees and costs. The
settlement also provides for the dismissal of the two lawsuits with prejudice
and the release of certain irrevocable proxies that previously had been granted
on shares of Bancorp Common Stock owned by the plaintiffs. Such plaintiffs have
agreed to vote their shares in favor of the pending merger between Bancorp and
Union Planters Corporation.

In addition, the parties have agreed to stay their appeals of the denial of the
change-in-control application filed by Fana Holtz, Daniel Holtz and Javier Holtz
to acquire and/or maintain a controlling interest in Capital Bank. Upon
consummation of the merger with Union Planters Corporation, the parties will
file a motion to dismiss their respective appeals of such denial as moot.

The settlement, which has been approved by the court, is subject to the lack of
any objection by the relevant bank regulatory authorities and approval of the
merger between Bancorp and Union Planters Corporation by the shareholders of
Bancorp. A special meeting of the shareholders of Capital for consideration of
the merger is scheduled to be held on November 24, 1997.
