PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Interim Financial Statements:

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial” or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “we,” “us” or “our”) as of June 30, 2006 and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and beneficiaries’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, have not been audited by independent accountants. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position at June 30, 2006 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain notes and other information have been omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most sensitive estimates involve the valuation of our retained interests in transferred assets, determination of reserves on our receivables and impairment analyses on our long-lived assets.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Note 2. Business:

PMC Commercial is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that either directly or through its subsidiaries, primarily originates loans to small businesses collateralized by first liens on the real estate of the related business. The majority of these loans are to borrowers in the hospitality industry. We also originate loans on commercial real estate to borrowers in the service, retail, multi-family and manufacturing industries and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) collateralized by business assets and/or real estate. In addition, our investments include the ownership of commercial properties in the hospitality industry. Our common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “PCC.”

Note 3. Consolidation:

We consolidate entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest as well as variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. To the extent we do not have a majority voting interest, we use the equity method to account for investments for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. Consolidated net income includes our share of the net earnings of any entity accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMC Commercial, First Western SBLC, Inc. (“First Western”), PMC Investment Corporation (“PMCIC”), Western Financial Capital Corporation (“Western Financial”), PMC Commercial Trust, Ltd. 1998-1 (“PMCT Trust”), PMC Funding Corp. (“PMC Funding”), PMC Asset Holding, LLC (“Asset Holding”), PMC Conduit, L.P. (“PMC Conduit”), PMC Properties, Inc. (“PMC Properties”) and four separate subsidiaries created in conjunction with the purchase of four hotel properties in 1999.

First Western is licensed as a small business lending company that originates loans through the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program. PMCIC and Western Financial are licensed specialized small business investment companies under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (“SBIA”). PMCT Trust was formed in conjunction with our 1998 structured loan financing transaction. PMC Funding, Asset Holding and PMC Conduit hold assets on our behalf. PMC Properties is the operator, through third party managers, of our limited service hospitality properties.

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In addition, we own subordinate financial interests in several non-consolidated special purpose entities (i.e., retained interests in transferred assets (“Retained Interests”)). These are PMC Capital, L.P. 1998-1 (the “1998 Partnership”), PMC Capital, L.P. 1999-1 (the “1999 Partnership”), PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2000 (the “2000 Joint Venture”), PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2001 (the “2001 Joint Venture”), PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2002-1 (the “2002 Joint Venture”) and PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2003 (the “2003 Joint Venture,” and together with the 2000 Joint Venture, the 2001 Joint Venture and the 2002 Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures,” and the Joint Ventures together with the 1998 Partnership and the 1999 Partnership, the “QSPEs”) created in connection with structured loan sale transactions.

We account for our Retained Interests in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 140”) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” While we are the servicer of the assets held by these QSPEs, we are required under the transaction documents to comply with strict servicing standards and are subject to the approval of the trustees and/or noteholders regarding any significant issues associated with the assets. As a result, we believe we have relinquished control of the assets sold to the QSPEs. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, partners’ capital and results of operations of the QSPEs are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Reclassifications:

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

Note 5. Share-Based Compensation Plans:

At June 30, 2006, we have options outstanding under share-based compensation plans. We use the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to account for all awards granted, modified or settled.

We granted 33,250 option awards on June 10, 2006 at an exercise price of $12.72 (the closing price on June 9, 2006) under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of this option award was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Assumption
Expected Term (years)	3.0
Risk-Free Interest Rate	4.96	%
Expected Dividend Yield	9.43	%
Expected Volatility	16.24	%
Expected Forfeiture Rate	5.0	%

The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and was based on historical data. The risk-free rate was based on the three-year U.S. Treasury rate corresponding to the expected term of the options. We used historical information to determine our expected volatility and forfeiture rates, respectively. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $19,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 related to this option grant.

In addition, we issued an aggregate of 9,060 restricted shares to executive officers and our Board of Trust Managers on June 10, 2006 at the then current market price of the shares of $12.72. The restricted share awards vest based on two years of continuous service with one-third of the shares vesting immediately upon issuance of the shares and one-third vesting at the end of each of the next two years. Restricted share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plan). Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $43,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 for this restricted share issuance. At June 30, 2006, there was approximately $72,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these unvested restricted shares which will be recognized over the next two years.

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

We granted 36,700 option awards on June 11, 2005 at an exercise price of $14.54. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $23,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 related to this option grant.

We issued an aggregate of 9,060 restricted shares to executive officers and our Board of Trust Managers on June 11, 2005 at the then current market price of the shares of $14.54. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $13,000 and $29,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and approximately $49,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 for this restricted share issuance. At June 30, 2006, there was approximately $20,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these unvested restricted shares which will be recognized over the next year.

Note 6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154 (“SFAS No. 154”), “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retroactive application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 155 (“SFAS No. 155”), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” in February 2006. SFAS No. 155 (1) permits fair value remeasurement for hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, (2) clarifies which interest-only strip receivables are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, (3) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (4) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and (5) amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a QSPE from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 156 (“SFAS No. 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” in March 2006. SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Subsequent to initial measurement, an entity may choose to use the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for future measurements. SFAS No. 156 also requires additional disclosures related to servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 156 on our consolidated financial statements; however, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”)” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 imposes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements; however, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Number of Hotel Properties		3			4			9

At June 30, 2006, we owned three hotel properties (individually, a “Hotel Property”). The properties were originally part of a sale and leaseback transaction commencing in 1998 with Arlington Hospitality, Inc. (“AHI”) whereby we purchased the properties from AHI and then leased the properties to a wholly-owned subsidiary of AHI, Arlington Inns, Inc. (“AII” and

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

together with AHI, “Arlington”). We concurrently entered into a Master Lease Agreement with AHI and AII covering all the properties and entered into a guaranty agreement with AHI whereby AHI guaranteed all obligations of AII under the individual property lease agreements.

During June 2005, AII filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy”). On August 31, 2005, AHI filed for Bankruptcy (the “Arlington Bankruptcy”). The January through April 2005 lease payments due from AII were paid while the May and June 2005 lease payments due from AII were not paid. AII made its July 2005 to January 2006 rent payments which were recorded as income when earned.

On January 13, 2006, we received rejection notices on 12 individual property leases and as a result, we took possession and operated 13 Hotel Properties through third party management companies. During 2006, we sold ten hotel properties for approximately $20.5 million and recognized net gains of approximately $1.9 million and deferred gains of approximately $1.2 million. We financed the sale of these properties through origination of loans aggregating approximately $17.1 million with interest rates of LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 3.75% to 4.80% and maturity and amortization periods of 20 years.

At June 30, 2006, our three remaining Hotel Properties had mortgages (which were assumed in the original purchase from AHI) with significant prepayment penalties. Therefore, we do not anticipate selling these properties until the properties’ market values increase or the prepayment penalties decrease. Until the properties are sold, we will either operate the properties through third party management companies or lease the properties. At June 30, 2006, these properties were considered to be “held and used” and all operations relating to these properties were included in continuing operations in our consolidated statements of income. We generated hotel property revenues of approximately $580,000 and $1,014,000 consisting primarily of room revenues and $410,000 and $793,000 in hotel property expenses consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses related to these properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. For our Hotel Properties to be held and used, we performed a recoverability test to determine if the future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period for the Hotel Properties exceeded the carrying value of the Hotel Properties. Future cash flows are based on estimated future property operations or rent payments to be received on the Hotel Properties and expected proceeds from the sale. Based on this analysis, no impairment losses were recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, our rent and related receivables consisted of unpaid rent, property taxes, legal fees incurred, termination damages, notes receivable and other charges (the “Arlington Claims”) of approximately $2,747,000 before reserves. As a result of the uncertainty and timing of collection, our claim in the Arlington Bankruptcy is well in excess of our recorded investment in the Arlington Claims.

We performed an analysis of our anticipated future proceeds related to the Arlington Bankruptcy to determine the collectibility of our investment in the rent and related receivables based on best available information provided to us through the bankruptcy proceedings. As a result, we established an allowance of approximately $1,255,000 during 2005. We recorded an additional allowance of $425,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulting from a reduction in available cash due to unanticipated and unforecasted cash expenditures by Arlington. Accordingly, our net recorded investment was $1,067,000 as of June 30, 2006. To the extent there is a reduction of the anticipated future proceeds, we would record an additional allowance against these receivables.

Note 9. Retained Interests:

In our structured loan sale transactions, we contributed loans receivable to a QSPE in exchange for cash and beneficial interests in that entity. The QSPE issued notes payable (the “Structured Notes”) to unaffiliated parties (“Structured Noteholders”). The QSPE then distributed a portion of the proceeds from the Structured Notes to us. The Structured Notes are collateralized solely by the assets of the QSPE which means that should the financial assets in the QSPE be insufficient for the trustee to make payments on the Structured Notes, the Structured Noteholders have no recourse against us. Upon the completion of our structured loan sale transactions, we recorded the transfer of loans receivable as a sale in accordance with SFAS No. 140. As a result, the loans receivable contributed to the QSPE, the Structured Notes issued by the QSPE, and the operating results of the QSPE are not included in our consolidated financial statements. The difference between (1) the carrying value of the loans receivable sold and (2) the sum of (a) the cash received and (b) the relative fair value of our

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

Retained Interests, constituted the gain or loss on sale. Retained Interests are carried at estimated fair value, with realized gains and losses recorded in net income and unrealized gains and losses recorded in beneficiaries’ equity.

We completed joint structured loan sale transactions with PMC Capital, Inc., our affiliate through common management. Our interests related to the loans receivable we contributed to these structured loan sale transactions are the “Originated Structured Loan Sale Transactions.” During 2004, we acquired PMC Capital, Inc.’s Retained Interests in the Joint Ventures and 100% of the 1998 Partnership and the 1999 Partnership (collectively, the “Acquired Structured Loan Sale Transactions”).

For the 2000 Joint Venture, represents historical losses incurred prior to our acquisition. For the 2001 Joint Venture and the 2002 Joint Venture, represents losses on delinquent loans receivable with a “charged-off” status repurchased by PMC Commercial.

At June 30, 2006, one of the loans sold to the QSPEs with a principal balance of approximately $234,000, included in our Acquired Structured Loan Sale Transactions, was delinquent over 60 days as to principal and interest. If we had to liquidate this loan, the loss could exceed estimates and the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests would decline.

First Western has Retained Interests related to the sale of loans originated pursuant to the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program. The SBA guaranteed portions of First Western’s loans receivable are sold to either dealers in government guaranteed loans receivable or institutional investors (“Secondary Market Loan Sales”) as the loans are fully funded. On Secondary Market Loan Sales, we may retain an excess spread between the interest rate paid to us from our borrowers and the rate we pay to the purchaser of the guaranteed portion of the note and servicing costs. At June 30, 2006, the aggregate principal balance of First Western’s serviced loans receivable on which we had an excess spread was approximately $40.5 million and the weighted average excess spread was approximately 0.7%. In determining the fair value of our Retained Interests related to Secondary Market Loan Sales, our assumptions at June 30, 2006 included a prepayment speed of 20% per annum and a discount rate of 13%.

The estimated fair value of our Retained Interests is based upon an estimate of the discounted future cash flows we will receive. In determining the present value of expected future cash flows, estimates are made in determining the amount and timing of those cash flows and the discount rates. The amount and timing of cash flows is generally determined based on estimates of loan losses and anticipated prepayment speeds relating to the loans receivable contributed to the QSPE. Actual

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

loan losses and prepayments may vary significantly from assumptions. The discount rates that we utilize in computing the estimated fair value are based upon estimates of the inherent risks associated with each cash flow stream. Due to the limited number of entities that conduct transactions with similar assets, the relatively small size of our Retained Interests and the limited number of buyers for such assets, no readily ascertainable market exists. Therefore, our estimate of the fair value may or may not vary from what a willing buyer would pay for these assets.

The components of our Retained Interests are as follows:

(1)	Our required overcollateralization (the “OC Piece”). The OC Piece represents the excess of the loans receivable contributed to the QSPE over the principal amount of the Structured Notes Payable issued by the QSPE, which serves as additional collateral for the Structured Noteholders.
(2)	The “Reserve Fund” and the interest earned thereon. The Reserve Fund represents cash that is required to be kept in a liquid cash account by the QSPE, pursuant to the terms of the transaction documents, as collateral for the Structured Noteholders, a portion of which was contributed by us to the QSPE upon formation and a portion of which is built up over time by the QSPE from the cash flows of the underlying loans receivable.
(3)	The interest-only strip receivable (the “IO Receivable”). The IO Receivable is comprised of the cash flows that are expected to be received by us in the future after payment by the QSPE of (a) all interest and principal due to the Structured Noteholders, (b) all principal and interest on the OC Piece, (c) any required funding of the Reserve Fund and (d) on-going costs of the transaction.

The following sensitivity analysis of our Retained Interests as of June 30, 2006 highlights the volatility that results when prepayments, losses and discount rates are different than our assumptions:


	Estimated
	Fair		Asset
Changed Assumption	Value		Change (1)
	(In thousands)
Losses increase by 50 basis points per annum (2)	$	56,882		($2,219	)
Losses increase by 100 basis points per annum (2)	$	54,715		($4,386	)
Rate of prepayment increases by 5% per annum (3)	$	58,278		($823	)
Rate of prepayment increases by 10% per annum (3)	$	57,539		($1,562	)
Discount rates increase by 100 basis points	$	57,121		($1,980	)
Discount rates increase by 200 basis points	$	55,234		($3,867	)

(1)		Any depreciation of our Retained Interests is either included in the accompanying statement of income as a realized loss (if there is a reduction in expected future cash flows) or on our balance sheet in beneficiaries’ equity as an unrealized loss.
(2)		If we experience losses in excess of anticipated losses, the effect on our Retained Interests would first reduce the value of the IO Receivables. To the extent the IO Receivables could not fully absorb the losses, the effect would then be to reduce the value of our Reserve Funds and then the value of our OC Pieces.
(3)		For example, an 8% assumed rate of prepayment would be increased to 13% or 18% based on increases of 5% or 10% per annum, respectively.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Values based on changes in these assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated since the relationship of the change in an assumption to the change in fair value is not linear. The effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of our Retained Interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor are not isolated from changes in another which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

We monitor the governing pooling and servicing agreements for each of our structured loan sale transactions and believe the servicing-related terms set forth therein are industry standard and consistent with QSPE criteria. However, views about permitted servicing activities involving QSPEs may not be consistent among organizations. As accounting standard setters continue to interpret QSPE criteria under SFAS No. 140, there may be a material resultant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with SFAS No. 140, our consolidated financial statements do not include the assets, liabilities, partners’ capital, revenues or expenses of the QSPEs. As a result, at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 our consolidated balance sheets do not include the $242.2 million and $276.1 million of assets, respectively, and $188.9 million and $220.8 million of liabilities, respectively, related to our structured loan sale transactions recorded by our QSPEs. At June 30, 2006, the partners’ capital of our QSPEs was approximately $53.3 million compared to the value of the associated Retained Interests of approximately $58.4 million.

The income from our Retained Interests represents the accretion (recognized using the effective interest method) on our Retained Interests which is determined based on estimates of future cash flows and includes any fees collected (i.e., late fees, prepayment fees, etc.) by the QSPEs in excess of anticipated fees. We update our cash flow assumptions on a quarterly basis and any changes to cash flow assumptions impact the yield on our Retained Interests. The annualized yield on our Retained Interests, which is comprised of the income earned less realized losses, was as follows:


	Six Months						Three Months

	2006			2005			2006			2005

Servicing fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 for loans held by the QSPEs was approximately $175,000 and $209,000 and $361,000 and $433,000, respectively. We have not established a servicing asset or liability related to the loans held by our QSPEs as the servicing fees are considered adequate compensation.

We received approximately $7.4 million and $8.0 million in cash distributions from the QSPEs during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Debentures
Debentures represent amounts due to the SBA as a result of borrowings made pursuant to the SBIA, have a weighted average cost of funds of approximately 6% and semi-annual interest only payments.

Mortgage Notes
As of June 30, 2006, we had three mortgage notes, each collateralized by a Hotel Property. The mortgage notes are through our subsidiaries formed to assume the mortgage notes and relate to our three Hotel Properties to be held and used. During 2006, we sold one Hotel Property with a mortgage note of approximately $1.5 million and the mortgage note was repaid. These mortgages are amortized over 20 years, mature from January 2011 to December 2017 and have restrictive provisions which provide for substantial prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate balances outstanding on these mortgage notes were approximately $4.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of which approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, were guaranteed by PMC Commercial.

Structured Notes
In June 1998, PMC Commercial formed PMCT Trust, a bankruptcy remote partnership that completed a private placement of fixed-rate loan-backed notes (the “Trust Structured Notes”). The Trust Structured Notes have a stated maturity in 2019; however, repayment of their principal is based on collections of principal on the underlying loans receivable. The Trust Structured Notes are collateralized by the loans receivable that we contributed to the partnership. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the principal amount of the outstanding underlying loans receivable was approximately $8.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively. We have no obligation to pay the Trust Structured Notes, nor do the holders of the Trust Structured Notes have any recourse against our assets. Accordingly, if PMCT Trust fails to pay the Trust Structured Notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the Trust Structured Notes is against the assets of PMCT Trust.

Junior Subordinated Notes
During 2005, PMC Commercial issued notes which are subordinated to PMC Commercial’s existing debt. The junior subordinated notes bear interest at a floating rate which resets on a quarterly basis at the 90-day LIBOR plus 3.25% (computed on a 360-day year). The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at our option, without penalty, beginning on March 30, 2010. Interest payments are due on a quarterly basis.

Conduit Facility
During 2005, we entered into a three-year $100.0 million conduit facility expiring February 6, 2008. Interest payments on the advances are payable by PMC Conduit on a monthly basis at a rate approximating 1% over LIBOR and PMC Conduit’s principal repayment obligations are expected to be financed through future securitizations of the loans collateralizing advances under the conduit facility. In addition, we are charged an unused fee equal to 12.5 basis points computed based on the daily available balance. The conduit facility allows for advances based on the amount of eligible collateral sold and has minimum requirements. The conduit facility has covenants, the most restrictive of which are maximum delinquency ratios for our contributed loans and serviced portfolio, as defined in the transaction documents. In addition, the conduit facility is subject to cross default provisions with our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2006, approximately $33.4 million of our loans were owned by PMC Conduit. We had availability of approximately $6.8 million under the conduit facility at June 30,

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

2006 without additional sales of loans receivable to PMC Conduit. With respect to loans sold to PMC Conduit, after 24 months, such loans may no longer be eligible for borrowing without consent of the lender. Therefore, between February 2007 and 2008, the loans currently sold to PMC Conduit will become “stale.” At the end of each annual period, the lenders have the option to extend their respective commitments to make advances for an additional 364-day period. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants of this facility.

Revolving Credit Facility
PMC Commercial has a revolving credit facility that matures in December 2006 and provides us with credit availability up to $20 million. We are charged interest on the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility at our election of either the prime rate of the lender less 75 basis points or 162.5 basis points over the 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR. In addition, we are charged an unused fee equal to 37.5 basis points computed based on our daily available balance. The credit facility requires us to meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which (1) provides for an asset coverage test based on our cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable, Retained Interests and real estate investments as a ratio to our senior debt and (2) limits our ability to pay out returns of capital as part of our dividends. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants of this facility.

Redeemable Preferred Stock of Subsidiary
PMCIC has outstanding 40,000 shares of $100 par value, 4% cumulative preferred stock (the “4% Preferred Stock”) held by the SBA pursuant to the SBIA.

The 4% Preferred Stock was issued during 1994 ($2.0 million) and 1995 ($2.0 million) and must be redeemed at par no later than 15 years from the date of issuance. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” we have classified the 4% Preferred Stock as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Dividends of approximately $39,000 and $79,000 were recognized on the 4% Preferred Stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income.

Interest Paid
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest paid was approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Note 12. Cumulative Preferred Stock of Subsidiary:

PMCIC has outstanding 30,000 shares of $100 par value, 3% cumulative preferred stock (the “3% Preferred Stock”) held by the SBA pursuant to the SBIA.

PMCIC is entitled to redeem, in whole or part, the 3% Preferred Stock by paying the par value ($3.0 million) of these securities plus dividends accumulated and unpaid on the date of redemption. While the 3% Preferred Stock may be redeemed, redemption is not mandatory. Dividends of approximately $23,000 and $45,000 were recognized on the 3% Preferred Stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are reflected in our consolidated statements of income as minority interest.

Note 13. Earnings Per Share:

The computations of basic earnings per common share are based on our weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was approximately 10,744,000 and 10,887,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was approximately 10,745,000 and 10,882,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding were increased by approximately 11,000 and 12,000 shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, for the dilutive effect of options to purchase common shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, no shares were added to the weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share as options were anti-dilutive.

PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share were outstanding options to purchase 149,661 and 71,155 common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and options to purchase 149,661 and 75,155 common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares.

Note 14. Dividends Declared:

Dividends declared during 2006 were as follows:


		Amount
Date Paid	Record Date	Per Share

April 10, 2006	March 31, 2006	$	0.30
July 10, 2006	June 30, 2006	$	0.30

		$	0.60

We have certain covenants within our debt facilities that limit our ability to pay out returns of capital as part of our dividends. These restrictions have not historically limited the amount of dividends we have paid and management does not believe that they will restrict future dividend payments.

Note 15. Share Repurchase Program:

On August 31, 2005, our Board of Trust Managers authorized a share repurchase program for up to $10.0 million for the purchase of outstanding Common Shares, expiring August 31, 2006. The Common Shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market or pursuant to negotiated transactions. As of June 30, 2006, we had acquired 153,500 common shares under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,946,000, including commissions.

Note 16. Taxable Income:

PMC Commercial has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, PMC Commercial must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. As a REIT, PMC Commercial generally will not be subject to corporate level Federal income tax on net income that is currently distributed to shareholders. We may, however, be subject to certain Federal excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and property. If PMC Commercial fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and will not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

In order to meet our prior year taxable income distribution requirements, we may make an election under the Code to treat a portion of the distributions declared in the current year as distributions of the prior year’s taxable income.

PMC Commercial has wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS’s”) which are subject to Federal income taxes: PMCIC, First Western, PMC Funding and PMC Properties. The income generated from the TRS’s is taxed at normal corporate rates. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” which uses the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The measurement of net deferred tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on our ongoing assessment of this future realization, it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

We financed the sale of these properties through origination of loans aggregating $19,844,000 and $2,500,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As the down payment received was not sufficient to qualify for full accrual gain treatment on certain of the sales, we recorded initial installment gains and deferred the remaining gains.

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies:

Loan Commitments
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. Our outstanding loan commitments and approvals to fund new loans were approximately $33.1 million at June 30, 2006, of which approximately $7.1 million were for prime-based loans to be originated by First Western, the government portion of which (approximately 75% of each individual loan) will be sold pursuant to Secondary Market Loan Sales and $1.9 million were to be originated by one of our SBICs. Approximately 90% of our loan commitments and approvals were for construction loans and loans committed to refinance construction loans upon project completion.

At June 30, 2006, all of our commitments and approvals were for variable-rate loans based on the prime rate or the 90-day LIBOR at spreads over the prime rate generally ranging from 1.25% to 2.75% and over LIBOR generally ranging from 3.0% to 4.25%. The weighted average interest rate on our loan commitments and approvals at June 30, 2006 was approximately 9.4%. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and require payment of a fee to us. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Rent expense, which is being recorded on a straight-line basis, amounted to approximately $48,000 and $40,000 and $94,000 and $80,000, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Employment Agreements
We have employment agreements with certain of our officers expiring June 30, 2009. Future payments under these contracts are approximately $1,220,000 for each of the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Structured Loan Sale Transactions
The transaction documents of the QSPEs contain provisions (the “Credit Enhancement Provisions”) that govern the assets and the inflow and outflow of funds of the QSPEs formed as part of the structured loan sale transactions. The Credit Enhancement Provisions include specified limits on the delinquency, default and loss rates on the loans receivable included in each QSPE. If, at any measurement date, the delinquency, default or loss rate with respect to any QSPE were to exceed the specified limits, the Credit Enhancement Provisions would automatically increase the level of credit enhancement requirements for that QSPE. During the period in which the specified delinquency, default or loss rate was exceeded, excess cash flow from the QSPE, if any, which would otherwise be distributable to us, would be used to fund the increased credit enhancement levels up to the principal amount of such loans and would delay or reduce our distribution. In general, there can be no assurance that amounts deferred under Credit Enhancement Provisions would be received in future periods or that future deferrals or losses will not occur.

Environmental
PMC Funding has a recorded liability of approximately $300,000 at June 30, 2006 related to a loan with collateral that has environmental obligations which are the primary responsibility of our borrower. The loan was originated in connection with the sale of the underlying collateral by PMC Funding. The sale was financed by PMC Capital, Inc. through a loan with a current outstanding principal balance of approximately $440,000 which is currently in default. Under purchase accounting, the liability was assumed and the loan was acquired by PMC Commercial in the merger with PMC Capital, Inc.

During 2005, we were informed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources that the current remediation plan for the property has certain aspects that require revision. While our borrower has the primary responsibility for the environmental remediation, to the extent the borrower defaults on the loan and we elect to foreclose, we currently believe that the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying the loan exceeds the current outstanding principal balance on the loan. At the present time, we have been unable to quantify additional costs, if any, of the potential changes in remediation methods requested by Georgia; however, these costs could be material and may exceed the value of the collateral net of the recorded liability and the current outstanding principal balance of the loan.

Litigation
In the normal course of business, including our assets acquired in liquidation, we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business (i.e., collection of loans receivable). In management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Other
If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced by First Western, the SBA may seek recovery of funds from us. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from us in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies.

Note 21. Business Segments:

Operating results and other financial data are presented for our principal business segments. These segments are categorized by line of business which also corresponds to how they are operated. The segments include (1) the Lending Division, which originates loans to small businesses primarily in the hospitality industry and (2) the Property Division which owns and operates our Hotel Properties. The operations of our lending division are reviewed by our chief operating decision makers in assessing its performance, to make business decisions and to allocate resources. We do not differentiate between subsidiaries or loan programs for this purpose.

ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, but not limited to, 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 and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. For a description of certain factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statement, see “Current Operating Overview and Significant Economic Factors.” 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.

The following discussion of our financial condition at June 30, 2006 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

BUSINESS

Our mission is to derive income primarily from the origination of collateralized loans and from ownership in income producing real estate. Through conservative underwriting and exceptional service, we strive to provide our shareholders with the highest dividend, consistent with the focus on preservation of investment capital.

PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial” and, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Our common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “PCC.” We are primarily a commercial lender that originates loans to small businesses that are principally collateralized by first liens on the real estate of the related business. Our loans are primarily to borrowers in the limited service hospitality industry. We also originate loans on commercial real estate to borrowers primarily in the service, retail, multi-family and manufacturing industries. We then sell certain of our loans receivable through privately-placed structured loan transactions. Historically, we have retained residual interests in all loans receivable sold through our subordinate financial interest in the related qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”).

Our revenues have historically included the following:

	•	Interest earned on loans receivable;
	•	Income on our retained interests in transferred assets (“Retained Interests”);
	•	Lease income on our Hotel Properties; and
	•	Other related loan fees, including servicing fees, late fees, prepayment fees and construction monitoring fees.

Our ability to generate interest income, as well as other revenue sources, is dependent upon economic, regulatory and competitive factors that influence interest rates and loan originations, and our ability to secure financing for our investment activities. The amount of income earned will vary based on the volume of loans funded, the timing and amount of

financings, the volume of loans receivable which prepay and the resultant applicable prepayment fees, if any, the mix of loans (construction vs. non-construction), the rate on loans originated as well as the general level of interest rates. For a more detailed description of the risks affecting our financial condition and results of operations, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

We seek to maximize shareholder value through long-term growth in dividends paid to our shareholders. As a REIT, we must annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We continue to be faced with several challenges including (1) the loan products which we offer to our borrowers do not include a competitive fixed-rate loan product, (2) the margins we currently receive between the interest rate we charge our borrowers and the interest rate we are charged by our lenders has been diminishing, (3) prepayments of our aggregate loan portfolio have recently increased and (4) the operations of our Hotel Properties and collection of the receivable relating to the tenant of our owned Hotel Properties which filed for bankruptcy in 2005.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, First Western SBLC, Inc. (“First Western”), is licensed as a small business lending company that originates loans through the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program. First Western was previously a “Preferred Lender,” as designated by the SBA only in certain districts. Effective in May 2006, First Western is now a Preferred Lender nationwide in the United States. This expanded Preferred Lender status should shorten the time period necessary to originate SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program loans. We anticipate that as a result of this change, our originations under the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program will increase.

As a result of the prolonged period in which the yield curve has been flat (i.e., compression of long-term and short-term interest rates) combined with increased competition from fixed-rate lenders, our margins for fixed-rate loans contracted to the point where they were not economically viable. Our loan volume and commitments have therefore been primarily variable-rate. The number of lenders who compete with us for limited service hospitality loans has been increasing and many of these competitors have a lower cost of funds than we do and are therefore able to offer rates below what we can offer. Until the yield curve combined with the level of competition changes, we expect this trend to continue. We believe that the market has changed such that borrowers are looking predominately for fixed-rate loans; however, our ability to offer fixed-rate loans is constrained by our cost of funds. Local banks offer a five-year maturity, 20-year amortization loan (“mini-perm loan”) at a more attractive rate than we can offer based on our current sources of funds. Consequently, at the present time we are predominately committing to loans which are variable rate. During the first half of 2006, our loan originations were approximately $31.2 million, of which approximately $19.8 million were originated in connection with sales of Amerihost Inn hotels and assets acquired in liquidation.

If we reduce our rates in order to originate fixed-rate loans, these loans would have a lower spread than we have historically achieved on our fixed-rate securitizations. We have a risk that during the interim period between when we make loans with fixed interest rates and when we complete a fixed-rate structured loan transaction, if rates were to rise, we would be subject to interest rate risk. We continue to actively pursue alternative sources of funds and evaluate interest rate hedges to reduce our cost of funds, which may allow us to originate fixed-rate loans at more competitive rates.

During 2006, we experienced prepayment activity at increased levels, primarily for our fixed-rate loans. Prepayments of our retained portfolio were approximately $18.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to approximately $6.5 million during the comparable period of 2005. In addition, during 2006 we had prepayments of approximately $24.1 million in loans sold as part of securitizations compared to approximately $16.8 million during the first six months of 2005. This increased activity is primarily a result of competitors providing refinance opportunities for our borrowers combined with a reduction or elimination of prepayment fees on certain loans due to the structure of the fees (i.e., expiration of lock out or yield maintenance provisions). We believe that we will continue to see prepayment activity at these higher levels during the remainder of 2006. See “Prepayment Activity.”

In June 2005, Arlington Inns, Inc. (“AII”) filed for bankruptcy protection. This was followed in August 2005 with the bankruptcy filing of Arlington Hospitality, Inc. (“AHI” and together with AII, “Arlington”), the parent of AII and the guarantor of all lease obligations. AII operated the properties under its bankruptcy plan and paid us an aggregate of approximately $1.5 million in rent from July 2005 through January 2006.

On January 13, 2006, AII rejected the leases and turned over property operations to us on those properties as well as two additional properties that were owned by Arlington and served as collateral on two of our loans receivable. We originally purchased a total of 30 properties, operated as Amerihost Inns, during 1998 and 1999. We commenced selling properties during 2000, and we began 2006 with 13 owned Hotel Properties and two assets acquired in liquidation for a total of 15 properties. We have reduced our ownership through the sale of ten Hotel Properties and two assets acquired in liquidation, so that our ownership has been reduced to three Hotel Properties.

We have significant outstanding claims against Arlington’s bankruptcy estate. Based on information provided through the bankruptcy proceedings and an estimate of net cash proceeds available to the unsecured creditors, we recorded impairments on these claims during 2005 and 2006 and valued those claims at approximately $1.1 million at June 30, 2006. There is no assurance that we will collect our claims from Arlington.

We entered into non-binding letters of intent with third party tenants for long-term leases with purchase options on the three remaining hotel properties and anticipate final approval of the leases by the mortgage holder during the third quarter of 2006. As a REIT, we cannot directly operate hotel properties; therefore, until we finalize the leases, the properties are being operated by third party management companies.

CURRENT OPERATING OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC FACTORS

The following provides an update of our current operating overview and significant economic factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 that may have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The factors described below could impact the volume of loan originations, the income we earn on our assets, our ability to complete a securitization, the performance of our loans, the operations of our properties and/or the performance of the QSPEs.

Lending Division

General

Loans originated during the first six months of 2006 were approximately $31.2 million, which is greater than the $19.5 million of loans originated during the same period of 2005. Of our originations during 2006, approximately $19.8 million were originated in connection with sales of Amerihost Inn Hotels. We currently anticipate that we will originate between $25 million and $35 million of loans during the remainder of 2006. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our outstanding commitments to fund new loans were approximately $33.1 million and $50.5 million, respectively. All of our current commitments are for variable-rate loans which provide an interest rate match with our present sources of funds. The majority of these commitments are for construction loans and loans committed to refinance construction loans upon project completion. The funding of construction and construction takeout loans generally takes place over a longer period of time compared to non-construction loans.

Several key factors affect our estimates of future loan originations as detailed below:

	•	our inability to originate fixed-rate loans with an adequate spread;
	•	borrowers looking to fix their cost of capital (borrow at fixed rates) in anticipation of continuation of rising variable interest rates;
	•	uncertainty as to the cost of funds of future securitizations; and
	•	increased competition from local banks and other lenders, with a lower cost of capital than us, lending to operators in the limited service hospitality industry.

We believe that in this interest rate environment borrowers are looking predominately for fixed-rate loans; however, we are constrained by potential exposure to interest rate risk. Local bank competitors offer, among other things, five-year fixed-rate loans with rates that are below the long-term interest rates that we can presently offer. Historically, the rate for our fixed-rate product needed to be around 3.75% to 4% over the 10-year treasury in order to provide us with what management believed was a reasonable spread. With the 10-year treasury at approximately 5%, historically the rate we needed to obtain is approximately 8.75% to 9% for a quality loan with a 20-year amortization and maturity. The local banks currently offer a five-year maturity, 20-year amortization loan at approximately 8%. Management believes that the difference between the bank’s rate and ours is causing a greater percentage of borrowers to take on the refinancing risk that rates won’t rise

significantly or be unavailable at the end of five years and they are therefore taking the “mini-perm” bank loan. Many of our competitors are presently pricing fixed-rate loans based on a spread over the interest rate swap market. We are presently evaluating whether it is economically feasible to utilize the swap market to lock in a fixed cost of funds so that we can offer a more competitive fixed-rate product. At the present time, we are not sure whether this alternative source of pricing is viable for our company. We are currently marketing a hybrid fixed-rate product at 3% over the interest rate swap market (i.e., interest rate is fixed for five years then converts to a variable rate based on LIBOR).

Our net interest margin for our leveraged portfolio is dependent upon the difference between the cost of our borrowed funds and the rate at which we invest these funds (the “net interest spread.”) A significant reduction in net interest spread may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and may cause us to re-evaluate our lending focus. Over the past few years the net interest spread has reduced causing decreased income from continuing operations and there is no assurance that this trend will change.

While we have been unable to effectively compete for fixed-rate loans, we believe that our LIBOR-based loan program (1) allows us to compete more effectively with the variable-rate products of our competitors, (2) provides us with a more attractive securitization product and (3) provides us with a net interest spread that is less susceptible to interest rate risk than any fixed-rate loan programs.

Portfolio Information

Our lending activities consist of primarily originating loans to borrowers who operate properties in the hospitality industry. Our net loans receivable were $158.4 million and $157.6 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Loans originated and principal repayments on loans were as follows:

At June 30, 2006, our retained portfolio does not include approximately $216.5 million and $41.5 million of aggregate principal balance remaining on loans we service that were sold in structured loan sale transactions and secondary market loan sales, respectively. Since we retain a residual interest in the cash flows from these sold loans, these loans impact our profitability and our cash available for dividend distributions. Therefore, information on both our loans receivable retained (the “Retained Portfolio”) and combined with sold loans (the “Aggregate Portfolio”) that we service is provided below. The

weighted average contractual interest rate on our Aggregate Portfolio was 9.3%, 8.8% and 8.3% at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Information on our Retained Portfolio was as follows:


	As of and for the Period Ended
	June 30,			December 31,			June 30,
	2006			2005			2005
Weighted average contractual interest rate		9.3	%		8.5	%		7.9	%
Annualized average yield (1)		10.0	%		8.9	%		8.5	%

(1)

In addition to interest income, the yield includes all fees earned and is adjusted by the provision for loan losses, net.

At June 30, 2006, approximately $144.2 million (91%) of our loans receivable had variable interest rates (reset on a quarterly basis) with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.2% based primarily on the 90-day LIBOR, or the prime rate (primarily related to our SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program). The spread that we charge over LIBOR generally ranges from 3.00% to 4.25% and the spread we charge over the prime rate generally ranges from 1.50% to 2.75%. The LIBOR and the prime rate used in determining interest rates to be charged to our borrowers during the third quarter of 2006 (set on July 1, 2006) is 5.51% and 8.25%, respectively, while the LIBOR and prime rate charged during the second quarter of 2006 (set on April 1, 2006) was 4.99% and 7.75%, respectively. Changes in LIBOR or the prime rate will have an impact on our interest income from our variable-rate loans receivable. In addition, at June 30, 2006, approximately $14.2 million (9%) of our loans receivable had a fixed interest rate with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.5%.

Prepayment Activity

Prepayment activity for our aggregate fixed-rate loans receivable has remained at high levels as a result of the continued low long-term interest rate environment combined with increased competition and the reduction or elimination of prepayment fees. In addition, prepayment activity for our aggregate variable-rate loans receivable has recently increased since borrowers with variable-rate loans are generally seeking fixed-rate loans due to anticipated rising interest rates. We believe that we will continue to see prepayment activity at these higher levels during the remainder of 2006.

The timing and volume of our prepayment activity for both our variable and fixed-rate loans receivable fluctuate and are impacted by numerous factors including the following:

	•	The competitive lending environment (i.e., availability of alternative financing);
	•	The current and anticipated interest rate environment;
	•	The market for limited service hospitality property sales; and
	•	The amount of the prepayment fee and the length of prepayment prohibition, if any.

When our loans receivable are repaid prior to their maturity, we generally receive prepayment fees. Prepayment fees result in one-time increases in our income. In addition, prepayments of sold loans will have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Prepayments of sold loans with higher interest rates negatively impact the value of our Retained Interests to a greater extent than prepayments of sold loans with lower interest rates. Prepayments in excess of our assumptions will cause a decline in the value of our Retained Interests primarily relating to a reduction in the excess funds expected from our structured loan sale transactions. The “spread” that is lost may be offset in part or in whole by the prepayment fee collected. Many of the prepayment fees for fixed-rate loans receivable are based upon a yield maintenance premium which provides for greater prepayment fees as interest rates decrease. In addition, certain loans receivable have prepayment prohibitions of up to five years. Prepayment fees for variable-rate loans receivable and fixed-rate loans receivable whose prepayment prohibitions have expired are generally not significant. It is difficult for us to accurately

predict the volume or timing of prepayments since the factors listed above are not all-inclusive and changes in one factor are not isolated from changes in another which might magnify or counteract the rate or volume of prepayment activity.

Impaired Loans

Senior management closely monitors our impaired loans which are classified into two categories: Problem Loans and Special Mention Loans (together, “Impaired Loans”). Our Problem Loans are loans which are not complying with their contractual terms, the collection of the balance of the principal is considered unlikely and on which the fair value of the collateral is less than the remaining unamortized principal balance. Our Special Mention Loans are those loans that are either not complying or had previously not complied with their contractual terms but, in general, we expect a full recovery of the principal balance through either collection efforts or liquidation of collateral.

Our Impaired Loans were as follows (balances represent our investment in the loans prior to loan loss reserves and deferred commitment fees):


	June 30,			December 31,
	2006			2005
	(In thousands)
Problem Loans:
Loans receivable	$	523		$	1,587
Sold loans of QSPEs (1)		—			—

	$	523		$	1,587


Special Mention Loans:
Loans receivable	$	911		$	5,635
Sold loans of QSPEs (1)		234			5,558

	$	1,145		$	11,193


Percentage Problem Loans:
Loans receivable		0.3	%		1.0	%
Sold loans of QSPEs (1)		—			—

Percentage Special Mention Loans:
Loans receivable		0.6	%		3.6	%
Sold loans of QSPEs (1)		0.1	%		2.3	%

(1)

Since the sold portion of our SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans are secured by a government guarantee, we do not have exposure to loan loss. Accordingly, problem and special mention loan statistics for the sold portion of our SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans have not been presented.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had reserves in the amount of approximately $13,000 and $427,000, respectively, against loans receivable that we have determined to be Impaired Loans. Our provision for loan losses (excluding reductions of loan losses) as a percentage of our weighted average outstanding loans receivable was 0.06% and 0.22% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. To the extent one or several of our loans experience significant operating difficulties and we are forced to liquidate the loans, future losses may be substantial. The decrease in our total Impaired Loans from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 is due primarily to foreclosure of the underlying collateral of three limited service hospitality properties.

Retained Interests

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests was $59.1 million and $63.0 million, respectively. As a result of our structured loan sale transactions, we have Retained Interests representing the subordinate interest in loans receivable that have been contributed to QSPEs and have been recorded as sold. When we

securitize loans receivable, we are required to recognize Retained Interests, which represents our right to receive net future cash flows, at their estimated fair value. Our Retained Interests consist of (1) the retention of a portion of each of the Sold Loans (the “required overcollateralization”), (2) contractually required cash balances owned by the QSPE (the “reserve fund”) and (3) future excess funds to be generated by the QSPE after payment of all obligations of the QSPE (the “interest-only strip receivable”). Retained Interests are subject to credit, prepayment and interest rate risks.

The estimated fair value of our Retained Interests is based on estimates of the present value of future cash flows we expect to receive from the QSPEs. Estimated future cash flows are based in part upon estimates of prepayment speeds and loan losses. Prepayment speeds and loan losses are estimated based on the current and anticipated interest rate and competitive environments and our historical experience with these and similar loans receivable. The discount rates utilized are determined for each of the components of Retained Interests as estimates of market rates based on interest rate levels considering the risks inherent in the transaction. Changes in any of our assumptions, or actual results which deviate from our assumptions, may materially affect the value of our Retained Interests.

As a result of the merger, we acquired PMC Capital, Inc.’s subordinate interests in the joint ventures and 100% of the subordinate interests in the 1998 partnership and the 1999 partnership (collectively, the “Acquired Structured Loan Sale Transactions”). We previously owned subordinate interests in the joint ventures (the “Originated Structured Loan Sale Transactions”).

Constant prepayment rates and aggregate losses assumed were as follows for our Originated Structured Loan Sale Transactions (“Originated”) and Acquired Structured Loan Sale Transactions (“Acquired”):


	Constant Prepayment Rate		Aggregate Losses Assumed
	June 30,	December 31,	June 30,	December 31,
	2006	2005	2006	2005
Originated:
2000 Joint Venture	12.0%	11.0%	1.67%	2.74%
2001 Joint Venture	15.0%	12.0%	1.99%	2.63%
2002 Joint Venture	16.0%	12.0%	1.80%	3.72%
2003 Joint Venture	13.0%	12.0%	1.91%	2.51%

Acquired:
Secondary Market Sales (1)	20.0%	20.0%	—	—
1998 Partnership	15.0%	12.5%	2.32%	3.12%
1999 Partnership	15.0%	14.0%	2.38%	2.43%
2000 Joint Venture	14.0%	14.0%	1.68%	3.28%
2001 Joint Venture	15.0%	12.0%	2.14%	2.06%
2002 Joint Venture	16.0%	12.0%	1.71%	2.68%
2003 Joint Venture	13.0%	12.0%	1.92%	2.77%

(1)

There are no losses assumed on Secondary Market Sales as the SBA has guaranteed payment of principal on these loans.

The constant prepayment rates have generally increased from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 primarily due to increased historical prepayments and the anticipated continuation of high levels of prepayments due to increased competition and the reduction or elimination of prepayment fees.

Aggregate losses assumed have generally decreased from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 primarily based on increased prepayments, historical losses incurred and the continued positive performance of our securitized loans and the limited service hospitality industry.

Discount rates utilized from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 have increased by approximately 80 basis points (0.80%) due primarily to rising interest rates.

The following is a sensitivity analysis of our Retained Interests as of June 30, 2006 to highlight the volatility that results when prepayments, loan losses and discount rates are different than our assumptions:


	Estimated
	Fair
Changed Assumption	Value		Asset Change (1)
	(In thousands)
Losses increase by 50 basis points per annum (2)	$	56,882	($2,219)
Losses increase by 100 basis points per annum (2)	$	54,715	($4,386)
Rate of prepayment increases by 5% per annum (3)	$	58,278	($823)
Rate of prepayment increases by 10% per annum (3)	$	57,539	($1,562)
Discount rates increase by 100 basis points	$	57,121	($1,980)
Discount rates increase by 200 basis points	$	55,234	($3,867)

(1)		Any depreciation of our Retained Interests is either included in the accompanying statement of income as a realized loss (if there is a reduction in expected future cash flows) or on our consolidated balance sheet in beneficiaries’ equity as an unrealized loss.
(2)		If we experience significant losses (i.e., in excess of anticipated losses), the effect on our Retained Interests would first reduce the value of the interest-only strip receivables. To the extent the interest-only strip receivables could not fully absorb the losses, the effect would then be to reduce the value of our reserve funds and then the value of our required overcollateralization.
(3)		For example, an 8% assumed rate of prepayment would be increased to 13% or 18% based on increases of 5% or 10% per annum, respectively.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Values based on changes in these assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated since the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in value may not be linear. The effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor are not isolated from changes in another which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

The net unrealized appreciation on our Retained Interests at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was approximately $3.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Any appreciation of our Retained Interests is included on our consolidated balance sheets in beneficiaries’ equity. Any depreciation of our Retained Interests is either included in the consolidated statements of income as a realized loss (if there is a reduction in expected future cash flows) or on our consolidated balance sheet in beneficiaries’ equity as an unrealized loss. Reductions in expected future cash flows generally occur as a result of decreases in expected yields, increases in anticipated loan losses or increases in prepayment speed assumptions. Our acquired Retained Interests are more susceptible to incurring realized losses. When acquired from PMC Capital, Inc., the estimated fair value for each of the components of Retained Interests was recorded as our cost. As a result, during any period that (1) the value of any of the components of our Retained Interests is below the cost and (2) the estimated cash flow from the particular component has been reduced, realized losses would result. Once realized losses occur, we recognize subsequent appreciation of our Retained Interests as income over the estimated remaining life of the Retained Interests through a higher effective yield.

Property Division

We owned three Hotel Properties at June 30, 2006. As a REIT, PMC Commercial cannot directly operate these properties; therefore, we are dependent upon third party management companies to operate and manage our Hotel Properties. As these properties have mortgages (which were assumed in the original purchase from AHI) with significant prepayment penalties, we do not anticipate selling these properties until the properties’ market values increase or the prepayment penalties decrease. Until the properties are sold, we will either operate the properties through third party management companies or lease the properties. We generated hotel property revenues of $580,000 and $1,014,000 consisting primarily of room revenues and $410,000 and $793,000 in hotel property expenses consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses related to these three properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. We entered into non-binding letters of intent with third party tenants for long-term leases with purchase options on the three remaining hotel properties and anticipate final approval of the leases by the mortgage holder during the third quarter of 2006.

Lodging Industry

The prevailing lodging industry perception for 2006 and 2007 is more optimistic than 2005. Lodging demand in the United States appears to correlate to changes in U.S. GDP growth, with typically a two to three quarter lag. Therefore, given the relatively strong U.S. GDP growth in the past year, continued improvement in 2006 and 2007 lodging demand has been predicted by industry analysts. Such improvement will be dependent upon several factors including the strength of the economy, the correlation of hotel demand to new hotel supply and the impact of global or domestic events on travel and the hotel industry. Leading industry analysts, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, have published reports that predict the industry’s results will continue their improvement in 2006 and 2007. However, the economic recovery in the Midwestern United States, which is where our Hotel Properties are located, has lagged behind the general United States economic recovery. In fact, the lodging industry in certain Midwestern states has not shown any significant signs of recovery.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Overview

Our income from continuing operations increased by approximately $1.7 million to $6,714,000 ($0.62 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $5,044,000 ($0.46 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. As described in more detail below, significant changes between these periods were:

	•	An increase in interest income of approximately $2.3 million due primarily to interest rate increases; and
	•	An increase in income from our Retained Interests of approximately $0.5 million as a result of increased accretion rates; partially offset by
	•	A net decrease in hotel property income of approximately $0.3 million as a result of the rejection in January 2006 of our Hotel Property leases by our tenant and the subsequent operation of the properties by third party management companies; and
	•	An increase in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million as a result of interest rate increases.

Our discontinued operations increased by approximately $0.7 million to $1,977,000 ($0.18 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,305,000 ($0.12 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. As described in more detail below, significant changes between these periods were:

	•	Net gains on property sales increased by $0.9 million; and
	•	Impairment losses decreased by approximately $1.3 million; partially offset by
	•	Decreased net earnings from our Hotel Properties of approximately $1.6 million primarily due to lease income being recorded up until the tenant rejected all Hotel Property leases in January 2006.

More detailed comparative information on the composition of and changes in our revenues and expenses is provided below.

Revenues

Interest income consisted of the following:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2006		2005		Increase
	(In thousands)
Interest income — loans	$	7,295	$	5,079	$	2,216
Accretion of loan fees and discounts		208		142		66
Interest income — idle funds		108		91		17

	$	7,611	$	5,312	$	2,299

$28.0 million (22%) to $158.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $130.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in our weighted average interest rate is primarily due to increases in LIBOR and the prime rate. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 91% of our loans receivable had variable interest rates. As a result of the high level of loan prepayments combined with lower than anticipated loan originations, we do not anticipate that our weighted average portfolio will continue to increase at historically achieved levels.

Income from Retained Interests increased $509,000 primarily due to an increase in accretion income which was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance of our Retained Interests outstanding of $6.9 million to $59.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $66.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Accretion income increased primarily due to an increase in anticipated future cash flows primarily resulting from a reduction in future anticipated losses. The income from our Retained Interests consists of the accretion on our Retained Interests which is determined based on estimates of future cash flows and includes any fees collected by the QSPEs in excess of anticipated fees. The yield on our Retained Interests, which is comprised of the income earned less realized losses, increased to 13.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 11.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Excluding realized losses, the yield on our Retained Interests was 14.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 11.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Other income consisted of the following:


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase
	2006		2005		(Decrease)
	(In thousands)
Prepayment fees	$	764	$	557	$	207
Servicing income		545		631		(86	)
Premium income		325		288		37
Other loan related income		180		365		(185	)
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary		32		15		17

Other income	$	1,846	$	1,856	$	(10	)

Our prepayment activity has remained at relatively high levels and we believe that we will continue to see prepayment activity at these higher levels during the remainder of 2006. Prepayment activity for our fixed-rate loans receivable has remained at high levels as a result of the continued low long-term interest rate environment combined with increased competition and the reduction or elimination of prepayment fees. In addition, prepayment activity for our variable-rate loans receivable has recently increased since borrowers with variable-rate loans are generally seeking fixed-rate loans due to anticipated rising interest rates. To the extent that prepayments are for variable-rate loans, the prepayment fees will generally not be as great as the fees on our fixed-rate loans.

We earn fees for servicing all loans held by the QSPEs and loans sold into the secondary market by First Western. As these fees are based on the principal balances of sold loans outstanding, they will naturally decrease over time as scheduled principal payments and prepayments occur.

Premium income results from the sale of First Western’s loans into the secondary market. We sold nine and seven loans and collected cash premiums of approximately $400,000 and $340,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Effective in May 2006, First Western is now a Preferred Lender nationwide in the United States. We anticipate that as a result of this change, our originations under the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program will increase. To the extent we were to increase our volume of loans originated by First Western, there should be a corresponding increase in premiums received.

the six months ended June 30, 2005 to the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to a decrease in forfeited commitment fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consisted of the following:


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase

	$	2,894	$	2,193	$	701

(1)

Represents interest expense on the three mortgages underlying Hotel Properties included in continuing operations.

Interest expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in interest rates. Since we have variable-rate debt, the cost of funds on that debt has increased due to increases in LIBOR and the prime rate. The weighted average cost of our funds at June 30, 2006 was 7.2% compared to 6.3% at June 30, 2005. In addition, during March 2005 we prepaid $20 million of uncollateralized notes with proceeds from our junior subordinated notes. The cost of funds on the junior subordinated notes is LIBOR plus 3.25%. The cost of funds for the uncollateralized notes was 7.44% on $10 million and LIBOR plus 1.3% on the other $10 million. The cost of funds for our conduit facility (established in February 2005) approximates 1% over LIBOR compared to our revolving credit facility cost of funds of LIBOR plus 1.875%.

Other Expenses

Our combined general and administrative expenses and salaries and related benefits expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 remained constant at $3,503,000 compared to $3,510,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Realized losses on Retained Interests were $584,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulting from a reduction in expected future cash flows due primarily to increased prepayments on our acquired Retained Interests. We had $231,000 of realized losses on Retained Interests during the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to a reduction in expected future cash flows resulting from increased anticipated losses relating to a problem loan during that period of time.

Impairment losses were $435,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For our Hotel Properties to be held and used, we performed a recoverability test to determine if the future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period for the Hotel Properties exceeded the carrying value of the Hotel Properties. Future cash flows were based on estimated future rent payments to be received on the Hotel Properties, proceeds from the sale and/or termination fees and property operations, if applicable. There were no impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Our provision for losses on rent and related receivables was $425,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulting from a reduction in available cash due to unanticipated and unforecasted cash expenditures by Arlington. We performed an analysis of our anticipated future distribution related to the bankruptcy of Arlington based on best available information provided to us through the bankruptcy proceedings to determine the collectibility of our investment in the rent and related receivables. Due to the uncertainties regarding the bankruptcy proceedings, there can be no assurance that we

will be awarded, or ultimately receive, any proceeds from the Arlington bankruptcy proceedings. To the extent there is a reduction of the anticipated future proceeds, we would record an additional allowance against these receivables.

Our provision for loan losses, net, was $53,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $269,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily related to two retail establishments on which we foreclosed on the underlying collateral during 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we increased expected losses on three loans collateralized by limited service hospitality properties.

Income tax provision increased to $334,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $294,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The primary reason for the increase during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was increased profitability of one of our lending subsidiaries mainly due to increased interest income and prepayment fees.

Hotel property revenues and expenses

Our hotel property revenues and expenses were $1,014,000 and $793,000, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 on our three Hotel Properties held for use. During January 2006, we commenced operating these properties, through third party management companies, upon rejection of their leases by our former tenant. As these properties have mortgages (which were assumed in the original purchase from AHI) with significant prepayment penalties, we do not anticipate selling these properties until the properties’ market values increase or the prepayment penalties decrease. Until the properties are sold, we will either operate the properties through third party management companies or lease the properties. We entered into non-binding letters of intent with third party tenants for long-term leases with purchase options on the three remaining Hotel Properties and anticipate final approval of the leases by the mortgage holder during the third quarter of 2006.

Discontinued operations

We had net realized gains on the sales of real estate of $2,019,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulting primarily from the sale of ten Hotel Properties for approximately $20.5 million generating gains of $1.8 million and seven assets acquired in liquidation for approximately $4.1 million generating gains of $0.2 million. As the down payments received were not sufficient to qualify for full accrual gain treatment on certain of the sales, we recorded initial installment gains and deferred the remaining gains. Our deferred gains total approximately $1.6 million at June 30, 2006. Net gain on sale of real estate was $1,114,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 which was primarily the result of the sale of three Hotel Properties for $7.0 million.

Impairment losses were $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For our four Hotel Properties to be sold, during 2006 we performed a recoverability test to determine if the expected net sales proceeds for the Hotel Properties exceeded the carrying value of the Hotel Properties. Based on this analysis, we recorded impairment losses of $43,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, we recorded $51,000 in impairment loss related to one of our retail establishments included in assets acquired in liquidation due to a decline in the estimate of its value. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded impairment losses of $1,419,000 on our Hotel Properties to be sold primarily as a result of the anticipated rejection of our leases by our tenant due to their filing for bankruptcy in June 2005 and the resultant diminishment in values of our Hotel Properties.

Our net earnings from discontinued operations decreased to $52,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,610,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our tenant was obligated for rent. Due to the tenant’s bankruptcy filing, effective January 2006 the leases were rejected and for any properties that had not been sold we commenced operations through third party management companies. Accordingly, the primary reason for the decrease in net earnings from discontinued operations was a reduction in rent income, including base rent and straight-line rent, of $2,702,000 when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense of $695,000 due to the discontinuation of depreciation on our held for sale properties. Our net earnings from discontinued operations includes 12 and 16 Hotel Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and assets acquired in liquidation (primarily two limited service hospitality properties) during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Overview

Our income from continuing operations increased by approximately $1.6 million to $3,490,000 ($0.32 per share) during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,893,000 ($0.17 per share) during the three months ended June 30, 2005. As described in more detail below, significant changes between these periods were:

	•	An increase in interest income of approximately $1.1 million due primarily to interest rate increases; and
	•	An increase in income from Retained Interests of approximately $0.8 million as a result of increased accretion rates and unanticipated prepayment fees; partially offset by
	•	An increase in interest expense of approximately $0.3 million as a result of interest rate increases.

Our discontinued operations decreased by approximately $0.2 million to $160,000 ($0.01 per share) during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $340,000 ($0.03 per share) during the three months ended June 30, 2005. As described in more detail below, significant changes between these periods were:

	•	Net gains on property sales decreased by $0.8 million; and
	•	Impairment losses decreased by approximately $1.4 million; partially offset by
	•	Decreased net earnings from our Hotel Properties of approximately $0.7 million primarily due to lease income being recorded up until the tenant rejected all Hotel Property leases in January 2006.

More detailed comparative information on the composition of and changes in our revenues and expenses is provided below.

Revenues

Interest income consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2006		2005		Increase
	(In thousands)
Interest income — loans	$	3,751	$	2,708	$	1,043
Accretion of loan fees and discounts		122		70		52
Interest income — idle funds		56		47		9

	$	3,929	$	2,825	$	1,104

The increase in interest income — loans was primarily attributable to an increase in (1) our weighted average interest rate from 7.9% at June 30, 2005 to 9.3% at June 30, 2006 and (2) our weighted average loans receivable outstanding of $27.3 million (21%) to $158.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $131.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in our weighted average interest rate is primarily due to increases in LIBOR and the prime rate. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 91% of our loans receivable have variable interest rates. As a result of the high level of loan prepayments combined with lower than anticipated loan originations, we do not anticipate that our weighted average portfolio will continue to increase at historically achieved levels.

Income from Retained Interests increased $783,000 primarily due to (1) an increase in the collection of unanticipated prepayment fees of approximately $500,000 and (2) an increase in accretion income. Accretion income increased primarily due to an increase in anticipated future cash flows primarily resulting from a reduction in future anticipated losses. These increases in income were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance of our Retained Interests outstanding by $6.2 million to $59.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $65.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. The income from our Retained Interests consists of the accretion on our Retained Interests which is determined based on estimates of future cash flows and includes any fees collected by the QSPEs in excess of anticipated fees. The yield on our Retained Interests, which is comprised of the income earned less realized losses, increased to 13.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 10.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2005. Excluding realized losses, the yield on our Retained Interests was 14.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 10.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Other income consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase
	2006		2005		(Decrease)
	(In thousands)
Prepayment fees	$	318	$	219	$	99
Servicing income		265		306		(41	)
Premium income		291		125		166
Other loan related income		82		234		(152	)
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary		16		15		1

Other income	$	972	$	899	$	73

Premium income results from the sale of First Western’s loans into the secondary market. We sold eight and three loans and collected cash premiums of approximately $358,000 and $148,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Effective in May 2006, First Western is now a Preferred Lender nationwide in the United States. We anticipate that as a result of this change, our originations under the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program will increase. To the extent we were to increase our volume of loans originated by First Western, there should be a corresponding increase in premiums received.

Other loan related income includes late fees, assumption fees, forfeited commitment fees and other fees. These fees represent one-time increases in our other income when collected and/or earned. Other loan related income decreased from the three months ended June 30, 2005 to the three months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to a decrease in forfeited commitment fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase
	2006		2005		(Decrease)
	(In thousands)
Junior subordinated notes	$	569	$	441	$	128
Conduit facility		381		182		199
Debentures payable		242		245		(3	)
Mortgages on Hotel Properties (1)		83		88		(5	)
Structured notes		47		113		(66	)
Revolving credit facility		38		29		9
Other		74		63		11

	$	1,434	$	1,161	$	273

(1)

Represents interest expense on the three mortgages underlying Hotel Properties included in continuing operations.

Interest expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in variable interest rates. Since we have variable-rate debt, the cost of funds on that debt has increased due to increases in LIBOR and the prime rate. The weighted average cost of our funds at June 30, 2006 was 7.2% compared to 6.3% at June 30, 2005. In addition, for our conduit facility, our weighted average borrowings increased from $10.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $19.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Other Expenses

Our combined general and administrative expenses and salaries and related benefits expense during the three months ended June 30, 2006 remained relatively constant at $1,836,000 compared to $1,858,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Realized losses on Retained Interests were $536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 resulting from a reduction in expected future cash flows primarily due to increased prepayments on our acquired Retained Interests. We had $210,000 of realized losses on Retained Interests during the three months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to a reduction in expected future cash flows resulting from increased anticipated losses on our acquired Retained Interests relating to a problem loan during that period of time.

Impairment losses were $435,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. For our Hotel Properties to be held and used, we performed a recoverability test to determine if the future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period for the Hotel Properties exceeded the carrying value of the Hotel Properties. Future cash flows were based on estimated future rent payments to be received on the Hotel Properties, proceeds from the sale and/or termination fees and property operations, if applicable. There were no impairment losses during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Our provision for losses on rent and related receivables was $125,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006. primarily resulting from a reduction in available cash due to unanticipated and unforecasted cash expenditures by Arlington. We performed an analysis of our anticipated future distribution related to the bankruptcy of Arlington based on best available information provided to us through the bankruptcy proceedings to determine the collectibility of our investment in the rent and related receivables. Due to the uncertainties regarding the bankruptcy proceedings, there can be no assurance that we will be awarded, or ultimately receive, any proceeds from the Arlington bankruptcy proceedings. To the extent there is a reduction of the anticipated future proceeds, we would record an additional allowance against these receivables.

Our provision for loan losses, net, was $2,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $116,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we increased the expected loss on a loan collateralized by a limited service hospitality property.

Income tax provision increased to $250,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $136,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005. The primary reason for the increase during the three months ended June 30, 2006 was increased profitability of our lending subsidiaries mainly due to increased interest income, prepayment fees and premium income.

Hotel property revenues and expenses

Our hotel property revenues and expenses were $580,000 and $410,000, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2006 on our three Hotel Properties held for use. During January 2006, we commenced operating these properties, through third party management companies, upon rejection of their leases by our former tenant. As these properties have mortgages (which were assumed in the original purchase from AHI) with significant prepayment penalties, we do not anticipate selling these properties until the properties’ market values increase or the prepayment penalties decrease. Until the properties are sold, we will either operate the properties through third party management companies or lease the properties. We entered into non-binding letters of intent with third party tenants for long-term leases with purchase options on the three remaining Hotel Properties and anticipate final approval of the leases by the mortgage holder during the third quarter of 2006.

Discontinued operations

We had net realized gains on the sales of real estate of $142,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 resulting primarily from the sale of an asset acquired in liquidation for approximately $475,000 generating a gain of approximately $129,000. We also sold four Hotel Properties during the three months ended June 30, 2006. As the down payments received were not sufficient to qualify for full accrual gain treatment on certain of the sales, we recorded initial installment gains and deferred the remaining gains. Our deferred gains total approximately $1.6 million at June 30, 2006. Net gain on sale of real estate was $978,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005 which was primarily the result of the sale of two Hotel Properties for $4.9 million.

Impairment losses were $21,000 and $1,419,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We recorded $21,000 in impairment loss related to one of our retail establishments included in assets acquired in liquidation due to a decline in the estimate of its value during the three months ended June 30, 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded impairment losses of $1,419,000 on our Hotel Properties to be sold primarily as a result of the anticipated rejection of our leases by our tenant due to their filing for bankruptcy in June 2005 and the resultant diminishment in values of our Hotel Properties.

Our net earnings from discontinued operations decreased to $39,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $781,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, our tenant was obligated for rent. Due to the tenant’s bankruptcy filing, effective January 2006 the leases were rejected and for any properties that had not been sold we commenced operations through third party management companies. Accordingly, the primary reason for the decrease in net earnings from discontinued operations was a reduction in rent income, including base rent and straight-line rent, of $1,506,000 when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense of $348,000 due to the discontinuation of depreciation on our held for sale properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Analysis

Our net cash flow from operating activities, which is primarily used to fund our dividends, decreased to $6,051,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $6,402,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in cash flow provided from our hotel properties during the six months ended June 30, 2006

compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Our dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, included in financing activities, were $6,454,000 and $7,506,000, respectively.

Our investing activities reflect a net source of funds of $22,735,000 and $5,173,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the primary sources of funds were (1) net proceeds from the sales of Hotel Properties and proceeds from assets acquired in liquidation of $4,289,000, (2) net principal collected on Retained Interests of $2,498,000 and (3) net principal collected on loans receivable of $14,918,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the primary sources of funds were net proceeds from the sales of Hotel Properties and proceeds from assets acquired in liquidation of $8,094,000 and net principal collected on Retained Interests of $2,482,000. Funds used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 were primarily net loans funded of $4,362,000. The change in net loans funded from a use of approximately $4.4 million to a source of approximately $14.9 million is due to reduced loan origination activity combined with high prepayment activity. This increased prepayment activity is primarily a result of competitors providing refinance opportunities for our borrowers combined with a reduction or elimination of prepayment fees on certain loans due to the structure of the fees (i.e., expiration of lock out or yield maintenance provisions). Prepayment activity for our variable-rate loans receivable has recently increased since borrowers with variable-rate loans are generally seeking fixed-rate loans due to anticipated rising interest rates. Accordingly, we believe that we will continue to see prepayment activity at these higher levels during the remainder of 2006.

Our financing activities reflect net uses of funds of $24,002,000 and $14,429,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We used funds in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily for (1) payment of principal on notes and mortgages payable of $10,245,000 related primarily to sales of hotel properties, (2) net repayment of the conduit facility of $7,000,000 and (3) dividends of $6,454,000. We used funds in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily for payment of principal on notes payable and debentures and our revolving credit facility of $43,475,000 primarily as a result of the repayment of (1) $20,000,000 in uncollateralized notes payable acquired in the merger, (2) $7,000,000 of debentures acquired in the merger and (3) $14,600,000 on our revolving credit facility using the proceeds from our conduit facility. In addition, we incurred $1,466,000 of borrowing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2005 related to our debt issuances and paid dividends of $7,506,000. Partially offsetting this use of funds was the proceeds from our debt issuances of $37,895,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Sources and Uses of Funds

General

In general, our liquidity requirements include origination of new loans, debt principal payment requirements, payment of dividends and operating costs. We intend to utilize, as deemed appropriate by prevailing market conditions, a combination of the following sources to generate funds:

	•	Operating revenues;
	•	Principal collections on existing loans receivable and Retained Interests;
	•	Structured loan financings or sales;
	•	Advances under our conduit facility;
	•	Borrowings under our short-term uncollateralized revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”);
	•	Issuance of SBA debentures;
	•	Issuance of junior subordinated notes; and/or
	•	Common equity issuance.

We had $8.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2006, of which $5.0 million was available only for future operating commitments of our SBICs, including repayment of debt. Pursuant to SBA rules and regulations, our SBICs cannot advance funds to us. As a result, we may borrow funds on our Revolver or conduit facility to make investments even though our SBICs have available cash and cash equivalents. Our outstanding commitments to fund new loans were approximately $33.1 million at June 30, 2006, of which $7.1 million were for prime-rate loans to be originated by First Western, the government guaranteed portion of which (approximately 75% of each individual loan) will be sold into the secondary market and $1.9 million were to be originated by one of our SBICs. Approximately 90% of our loan commitments and approvals were for construction loans and loans committed to refinance construction loans upon project completion. Commitments have fixed expiration dates and require payment of a fee to us. Since some commitments expire without the proposed loan closing, total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

We expect that these sources of funds and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds through these financing sources. A reduction in the availability of the above sources of funds could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If these sources are not available, we may have to originate loans at reduced levels or sell assets, potentially on unfavorable terms. Historically, our primary funding source has been the securitization and sale of our loans receivable.

As a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to maintain our tax status under the Internal Revenue Code, of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, to the extent the sources above represent taxable income, such amounts have historically been distributed to our shareholders. In general, should we receive less cash from our portfolio of investments, we can lower the dividend so as not to cause any material cash shortfall. During 2006, we anticipate that our cash flows from operating activities will be utilized to fund our expected 2006 dividend distributions and generally will not be available to fund portfolio growth or for the repayment of principal due on our debt.

Sources of Funds

Historically, our primary source of long-term funds has been structured loan sale transactions. We generated net proceeds of $39.9 million, $24.0 million, $29.5 million and $49.2 million from the completion of our 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 structured loan sale transactions, respectively. The proceeds from future structured loan transactions, if any, are expected to be greater as a result of the merger. However, the timing of future securitization transactions is dependent upon our portfolio and loan originations. Fundings for the first half of 2006 did not meet our expectations and are expected to be less than our original estimates for the year. In addition, we are currently funding primarily construction and construction related loans. As a result, we do not anticipate completing our next structured loan transaction until the first or second quarter of 2007 at which time we expect to have a sufficient pool of variable-rate loans to complete a securitization.

Since we have historically relied on structured loan transactions as our primary source of operating capital to fund new loan originations, any adverse changes in our ability to complete this type of transaction, including any negative impact on the asset-backed securities market for the type of product we generate, could have a detrimental effect on our ability to sell loans receivable, thereby reducing our ability to originate loans. The timing of a structured loan transaction also has significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our subsidiary, PMC Conduit, L.P. (“PMC Conduit”), has a three-year $100.0 million conduit facility expiring February 6, 2008. At the end of each annual period, the lenders have the option to extend their respective commitments to make advances for an additional 364-day period. PMC Commercial has not guaranteed the repayment of the advances outstanding under the conduit facility. The conduit facility allows for advances based on the amount of eligible collateral sold and has minimum requirements. At June 30, 2006, approximately $33.4 million of our loans were owned by PMC Conduit and we had outstanding advances of approximately $17.2 million. We had availability of approximately $6.8 million under the conduit facility at June 30, 2006 without additional sales of loans receivable to PMC Conduit. Currently, PMC Commercial has available approximately $30.1 million of loans which are eligible to be sold to PMC Conduit. The conduit facility has covenants, the most restrictive of which are maximum delinquency ratios for our contributed loans and serviced portfolio, as defined in the transaction documents. With respect to loans sold to our conduit facility, after 24 months, such loans may no longer be eligible for borrowing without the consent of the lender. Therefore, between February 2007 and 2008, the loans currently sold to the conduit facility will become “stale.” In addition, the conduit facility is subject to cross default provisions with the Revolver. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants of this facility.

At June 30, 2006, we had availability of $20.0 million under our Revolver which matures December 31, 2006. Under our Revolver, we are charged interest on the balance outstanding at our election of either the prime rate of the lender less 75 basis points or 162.5 basis points over the 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR. In addition, we are charged an unused fee equal to 37.5 basis points computed based on our daily available balance. The credit facility requires us to meet certain covenants, the most restrictive of which provides for an asset coverage test based on our cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable, Retained Interests and real estate investments as a ratio to our senior debt and limit our ability to pay out returns of capital as part of our dividends. The ratio must exceed 1.25 times. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants of this facility.

At June 30, 2006, one of our SBICs had $3.0 million in available commitments from the SBA, expiring in

September 2007, to issue future debentures. These debentures will have 10-year maturities, will be charged interest (established on the date of issuance) at a spread over 10-year treasuries and will have semi-annual interest-only payments. To the extent funds are needed to originate loans by our SBICs, these pre-approved debentures can be issued subject to regulatory compliance.

Uses of Funds

The primary use of our funds is to originate commercial mortgage loans to small businesses in the limited service hospitality industry. During the remaining six months of 2006, we anticipate loan originations will range from $25 million to $35 million. See “Current Operating Overview and Significant Economic Factors” for information on current market conditions. As a REIT, we also use funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders. We also use funds for payment of our operating overhead including salaries and other general and administrative expenses and we have payment requirements of principal and interest on our borrowings.

On August 31, 2005, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $10.0 million for the purchase of outstanding common shares, expiring August 31, 2006. The common shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market or pursuant to negotiated transactions. As of June 30, 2006, we had acquired 153,500 common shares under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,946,000, including commissions.

We may use funds to repurchase loans from the QSPEs which (1) become “charged-off” as defined in the transaction documents either through delinquency or initiation of foreclosure or (2) reach maturity.

(1)		PMC Funding Corp. (“PMC Funding”) has a recorded liability of approximately $300,000 at June 30, 2006 related to a loan with collateral that has environmental remediation obligations which are the primary responsibility of our borrower. The loan was originated in connection with the sale of the underlying collateral by PMC Funding. The sale was financed by PMC Capital, Inc. through a loan with a current outstanding principal balance of approximately $440,000 which is currently in default. Under purchase accounting, the liability was assumed and the loan was acquired by PMC Commercial in the merger. During 2005, we were informed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources that the current remediation plan for the property has certain aspects that require revision. While our borrower has the primary responsibility for the environmental remediation, to the extent the borrower defaults on the loan and we elect to foreclose, we currently believe that the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying the loan exceeds the current outstanding principal balance on the loan. At the present time, we have been unable to quantify additional costs, if any, of the potential changes in remediation methods requested by Georgia; however, these costs could be material and may exceed the value of the collateral net of the recorded liability and the current outstanding principal balance of the loan.
(2)		Represents loan commitments and approvals outstanding. The majority of these commitments are for construction loans and loans committed to refinance construction loans upon project completion. The funding of construction and construction takeout loans generally takes place over a longer period of time compared to non-construction loans.

If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced by our subsidiary, First Western, the SBA may seek recovery of funds from us. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA first will honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from us in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies.

See Note 20 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of commitments and contingencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements have typically been structured loan sale transactions which have been our primary method of obtaining funds for new loan originations. In a structured loan sale transaction, we contribute loans receivable to a QSPE that is not subject to consolidation in exchange for cash and beneficial interests in that entity. The QSPE issues notes payable (usually through a private placement) to unaffiliated parties and then distributes a portion of the notes payable proceeds to us. The notes payable are collateralized solely by the assets of the QSPE. The terms of the notes payable issued by the QSPEs provide that the owners of these QSPEs are not liable for any payment on the notes. Accordingly, if the financial assets in the QSPE are insufficient for the trustee to pay the principal or interest due on the notes, the sole recourse of the holders of the notes is against the assets of the QSPE. We have no obligation to pay the notes, nor do the holders of the notes have any recourse against our assets. We account for structured loan sale transactions as sales of our loans receivable and the SPE meets the definition of a QSPE; as a result, neither the loans receivable contributed to the QSPE nor the notes payable issued by the QSPE are included in our consolidated financial statements.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective dates adopted or expected dates of adoption and effect, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition.

SEASONALITY

Generally, our lending segment is not subject to seasonal trends. However, since we primarily lend to the limited service hospitality industry, loan delinquencies typically rise temporarily during the winter months due primarily to reductions in business travel and consumer vacations.

For our property segment, revenues for the limited service sector of the hospitality industry are generally lower during the winter months due to weather conditions and business and leisure travel trends, especially in the midwest section of the United States where our Hotel Properties are located. Based on Arlington’s past operating results, we could experience working capital shortfalls from the operations of our Hotel Properties during the winter months.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends declared during 2006 were as follows:


		Amount
Date Paid	Record Date	Per Share

April 10, 2006	March 31, 2006	$	0.30
July 10, 2006	June 30, 2006		0.30

		$	0.60

Our shareholders are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our Board of Trust Managers (the “Board”). Our Board considers many factors including, but not limited to, expectations for future earnings, REIT taxable income, the interest rate environment, competition, our ability to obtain leverage and our loan portfolio activity in determining dividend policy. The Board also uses REIT taxable income plus tax depreciation in determining the amount of dividends declared. In addition, as a REIT we are required to pay out 90% of REIT taxable income. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis will not necessarily correlate directly to any single factor such as REIT taxable income or earnings expectations. The Board anticipates that the minimum quarterly dividend per common share during the remainder of 2006 will be $0.30.

REIT TAXABLE INCOME

REIT taxable income is a non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measure that is presented quarterly in our consolidated financial statements to assist investors in analyzing our performance and is one of the factors utilized by our Board in determining the level of dividends to be paid to our shareholders.

The following reconciles net income to REIT taxable income:

As a REIT, PMC Commercial generally will not be subject to corporate level Federal income tax on net income that is currently distributed to shareholders provided the distribution exceeds 90% of REIT taxable income. We may make an election under the Code to treat distributions declared in the current year as distributions of the prior year’s taxable income. Upon election, the Code provides that, in certain circumstances, a dividend declared subsequent to the close of an entity’s taxable year and prior to the extended due date of the entity’s tax return may be considered as having been made in the prior tax year in satisfaction of income distribution requirements.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Since our consolidated balance sheet consists of items subject to interest rate risk, we are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates as described below. Although management believes that the analysis below is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of our balance sheet and other business developments that could affect our financial position and net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

LOANS RECEIVABLE

Our loans receivable are approximately 91% variable-rate at spreads over LIBOR or the prime rate consistent with the market. Increases or decreases in interest rates will generally not have a material impact on the fair value of our variable-rate loans receivable.

Changes in interest rates on our fixed-rate loans receivable do not have an immediate impact on our interest income. Our interest rate risk on our fixed-rate loans receivable is primarily related to loan prepayments and maturities. The average maturity of our loan portfolio is less than their average contractual terms because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans receivable tends to increase when the current mortgage rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans receivable and, conversely, decrease when the current mortgage rates are substantially lower than rates on existing mortgage loans receivable (due to refinancings of fixed-rate loans).

Our loans receivable are recorded at cost and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts (which are recognized as adjustments of yield over the life of the loan) and loan loss reserves. We had $14.2 million and $18.7 million of fixed-rate loans receivable at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The estimated fair value of these fixed interest rate loans receivable (approximately $14.9 million and $19.0 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively) is dependent upon several factors including changes in interest rates and the market for the types of loans that we have originated. If we were required to sell our loans at a time we would not otherwise do so, our losses may be substantial.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had $144.2 million and $138.9 million of variable-rate loans receivable, respectively, and $44.3 million and $54.8 million of variable-rate debt at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. On the differential between our variable-rate loans receivable outstanding and our variable-rate debt ($99.9 million and $84.1 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively) we have interest rate risk. To the extent variable rates decrease, our interest income net of interest expense would decrease.

As a result of $18.6 million and $21.7 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, of our variable-rate loans receivable having interest rate floors (from 5.25% to 6.0%), we are deemed to have derivative investments. However, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, we are not required to bifurcate these instruments; therefore, they are not accounted for as derivatives. To the extent that interest rates decline with respect to our loans that have floors, our interest expense on our variable-rate debt will be reduced by a higher amount than our interest income. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

The sensitivity of our variable-rate loans receivable and debt to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of our assets and liabilities. We assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income net of interest expense in an effort to ensure that we are insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates. Based on our analysis of the sensitivity of interest income and interest expense at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, if the consolidated balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, each hypothetical 100 basis point reduction in interest rates would reduce net income by approximately $999,000 and $841,000, respectively, on an annual basis.

NOTES AND DEBENTURES PAYABLE, JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES, CREDIT FACILITIES AND REDEEMABLE
PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY (“DEBT”)

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $26.0 million (37%) and $32.8 million (37%) of our consolidated debt had fixed rates of interest and is therefore not affected by changes in interest rates. Any amount outstanding on our Revolver or the conduit facility is based on the prime rate and/or LIBOR (or approximates LIBOR) and thus subject to adverse changes in market interest rates. Assuming there were no increases or decreases in the balance outstanding under our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2006, each hypothetical 100 basis points increase in interest rates would increase interest expense and decrease net income by approximately $443,000.

Since our fixed-rate debt is at effective rates that are currently lower (in general) than market rates, the fair value of these financial instruments is lower than their cost and carrying value, thus increasing our net worth. The majority of this debt is SBA debentures and mortgages payable. Our debentures have current prepayment penalties up to 4% of the principal balance. All of our $4.0 million of fixed-rate Hotel Property mortgages have significant penalties for prepayment.

The following presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates and fair values required by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes of our outstanding debt at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Market risk disclosures related to our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2006 were as follows:


	Twelve Month Periods Ending June 30,												Carrying		Fair
	2007		2008		2009		2010		2011		Thereafter		Value		Value (1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
Fixed-rate debt (2)	$	2,557	$	216	$	235	$	3,875	$	10,024	$	9,166	$	26,073	$	25,900

Variable-rate debt (LIBOR and prime based) (3)		—		17,205		—		—		—		27,070		44,275		44,275

(1)		The estimated fair value is based on a present value calculation based on prices of the same or similar instruments after considering risk, current interest rates and remaining maturities.
(2)		The weighted average interest rate of our fixed-rate debt at June 30, 2006 was 6.5%.
(3)		The weighted average interest rate of our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2006 was 7.4%.

Market risk disclosures related to our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2005 were as follows:


	Years Ending December 31,												Carrying		Fair
	2006		2007		2008		2009		2010		Thereafter		Value		Value (1)

Totals	$	6,959	$	798	$	25,075	$	3,582	$	5,322	$	45,879	$	87,615	$	87,805

(1)		The estimated fair value is based on a present value calculation based on prices of the same or similar instruments after considering risk, current interest rates and remaining maturities.
(2)		The weighted average interest rate of our fixed-rate debt at December 31, 2005 was 6.5%.
(3)		The weighted average interest rate of our variable-rate debt at December 31, 2005 was 6.4%.

RETAINED INTERESTS

Our Retained Interests are valued based on various factors including estimates of appropriate discount rates. Changes in the discount rates used in determining the fair value of the Retained Interests will impact their carrying value. Any appreciation of our Retained Interests is included in the accompanying balance sheet in beneficiaries’ equity. Any depreciation of our Retained Interests is either included in the accompanying statement of income as a realized loss (if there is a reduction in expected future cash flows) or on our balance sheet in beneficiaries’ equity as an unrealized loss. Assuming all other factors (i.e., prepayments, losses, etc.) remained unchanged, if discount rates were 100 basis points and 200 basis points higher than rates estimated at June 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests at June 30, 2006 would have decreased by approximately $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Assuming all other factors (i.e., prepayments, losses, etc.) remained unchanged, if discount rates were 100 basis points and 200 basis points higher than rates estimated at December 31, 2005, the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests at December 31, 2005 would have decreased by approximately $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
