Net Investment Income for Three Months: Net
Investment Income for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $3.3 million, or $0.15 per share, and $2.4
million, or $0.11 per share,
respectively, an increase in Net Investment Income of 35.6%.
The increase in Net Investment Income was primarily due to a
larger and higher-yielding interest-bearing portfolio, as well as a
decrease in the net base management fee when compared to the prior
year period, due to increased credits resulting from closing fees
generated from new portfolio company investments during the quarter
ended September 30, 2011.
Net Investment Income for Six Months: Net
Investment Income for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6.8 million, or $0.31 per share, and $6.6
million, or $0.30 per share,
respectively, an increase in Net Investment Income of 2.5%.
The increase in Net Investment Income was primarily due to an
increase in interest income from holding higher-yielding debt
investments in the Company's portfolio during the six months ended
September 30, 2011, as well as a
decrease in incentive fee paid to the Adviser when compared to the
prior year period. The increase was largely offset by a
significant amount of other income recorded in the prior year
period as part of the exit of A. Stucki Corp. ("A. Stucki") in
June 2010.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from
Operations for Three Months: Net Increase (Decrease) in
Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the quarters ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010 was
$12.7 million, or $0.57 per share, and ($6.9
million), or ($0.31) per
share, respectively. A net gain on investments and other of
$9.4 million was recorded for the
quarter ended September 30, 2011,
primarily due to appreciation experienced on certain control and
affiliate investments, as opposed to a net loss on investments and
other of $9.3 million for the prior
year quarter, primarily due to the restructuring of the Company's
investment in Galaxy Tool Holding Corp. ("Galaxy").
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from
Operations for Six Months: Net Increase (Decrease) in Net
Assets Resulting from Operations for the six months ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010 was
$16.9 million, or $0.76 per share, and ($1.5
million), or ($0.07) per
share, respectively. A net gain on investments and other of
$10.1 million was recorded for the
six months ended September 30, 2011,
primarily due to the gain realized on the restructuring of the
Company's investment in Cavert II Holding Corp., as well as
appreciation experienced on certain control and affiliate
investments. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, a net loss on investments and
other of $8.1 million was recorded,
primarily due to the Galaxy restructuring and the reversal of
previously-recorded unrealized appreciation on the A. Stucki sale,
partially offset by the gain realized on this sale.
Investment Portfolio Fair Value: The aggregate
investment portfolio appreciated during the quarter ended
September 30, 2011, primarily due to
the addition of two new proprietary investments during the quarter,
which were valued at cost as of September
30, 2011, as well as the appreciation experienced in certain
control and affiliate investments. As of September 30, 2011, the entire portfolio was fair
valued at 85.0% of cost, as compared to 77.7% as of March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily
due to appreciation experienced on certain control and affiliate
investments.
Net Asset Value: Net asset value was $9.48 per share outstanding at September 30, 2011, as compared to $9.00 per share outstanding at March 31, 2011.
Asset Characteristics: Total assets were
$295.4 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to $241.1 million at March
31, 2011. At September 30,
2011, the Company had investments in 18 portfolio companies
with an aggregate cost basis of $256.7
million and an aggregate fair value of $218.1 million. As of September 30, 2011, the Company's investment
portfolio at fair value was comprised of 75.7% in debt securities
and 24.3% in equity securities. Additionally, the Company
held $72.7 million in cash and cash
equivalents at September 30, 2011,
including $62.5 million from a
short-term loan that was repaid subsequent to quarter end.
Investment Yield: The weighted average yield on the
Company's interest-bearing portfolio, excluding cash and cash
equivalents, was 12.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 10.6% for the
prior year quarter. The increase in the weighted average
yield for the quarter ended September 30,
2011, resulted primarily from the exits of lower
interest-bearing debt investments and the addition of
higher-yielding debt investments.
Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter
ended September 30, 2011, the
following significant events occurred:
- Investment Payoff: In July
2011, the Company received repayment, at par, of its senior
syndicated loan to Survey Sampling, LLC, resulting in gross
proceeds of $2.3 million. At
March 31, 2011, this loan was valued
at 64.9% of cost.
- New Investment: In August
2011, the Company invested $28.1
million in a new control investment, SOG Specialty Knives
and Tools, LLC ("SOG"), consisting of senior debt and preferred
equity. SOG, headquartered in Lynnwood, WA, designs and produces specialty
knives and tools for the hunting/outdoors, military/law enforcement
and industrial markets.
- New Investment: In September 2011, the Company invested $13.8 million in a new control investment, SBS
Industries, Inc. ("SBS"), consisting of senior debt and preferred
and common equity. SBS, headquartered in Tulsa, OK, is a manufacturer and value-added
distributor of special fasteners and threaded screw products.
- Distributions: The Company paid monthly cash
distributions to stockholders of $0.05 per common share for each of July, August
and September 2011, an increase of
11.1% over April, May and June
2011.
Comments from the Company's President, Dave Dullum: "By increasing our line
of credit to $60.0 million in October
and extending its term by three years and by the successful
realized gains we achieved over the past year from exits of certain
of our equity investments, we are pleased with our overall
liquidity. Our investment activity is robust, and we are
excited about the two new investments this past quarter in SOG and
SBS. Through this activity and effort, we have been able to
increase the monthly dividend by 25% over the past two quarters.
We look to continue healthy investment activity and to carry
this momentum throughout the fiscal year."
Subsequent Events: After September 30, 2011, the following occurred:
- Line of Credit Increase and Extension: In
October 2011, the Company entered
into an agreement to increase its line of credit (the "Facility")
from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. The Facility was arranged by
Branch Banking and Trust Company as administrative agent and Key
Equipment Finance, Inc. and may be expanded up to $175.0 million through the addition of other
lenders. The Facility matures on October 25, 2014, and, if not renewed or extended
by that date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on
or before October 25, 2015.
Advances under the Facility will generally bear interest at
30-day LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum.
- Investment Payoff: In October
2011, the Company received full repayment of its senior
subordinated loan to Quench Holdings Corp., resulting in gross
proceeds of $8.0 million. At
June 30, 2011, this loan was valued
at 74.0% of cost.

directors declared the following monthly, per-share distributions
