ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

GENERAL

MVC Capital, Inc. is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). MVC Capital provides equity and debt investment capital to fund growth, acquisitions and recapitalizations of small and middle-market companies in a variety of industries primarily located in the United States. Our investments can take the form of common and preferred stock and warrants or rights to acquire equity interests, senior and subordinated loans, or convertible securities. Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “MVC.” Effective November 1, 2006, the Company has been externally managed by The Tokarz Group Advisers LLC (“TTG Advisers”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Our Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act, of the Company (the “Independent Directors”), last approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement at their in-person meeting held on October 25, 2011.

Fiscal year 2011 represented another year where we navigated through a challenging environment and prudently deployed capital into new and existing portfolio companies. The Company made six new investments in Octagon High Income Cayman Fund Ltd. (“Octagon Fund”), JSC Tekers Holdings (“JSC Tekers”), Teleguam Holdings, LLC (“Teleguam”), Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (“Pre-Paid Legal”), RuMe, Inc. (“RuMe”) and Centile Holdings B.V. (“Centile”) and made seven follow-on investments in four existing portfolio companies in Harmony Health & Beauty, Inc. (“HH&B”), SGDA Europe B.V. (“SGDA Europe”), NPWT Corporation (“NPWT”) and Security Holdings B.V. (“Security Holdings”) in fiscal year 2011. The total capital committed in fiscal year 2011 was $43.2 million compared to $8.3 million and $6.3 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The fiscal year 2010 new investment was Integrated Packaging Corporation (“IPC”) and the follow-on investments were in Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center, Inc. (“Harmony Pharmacy”), SGDA Europe, and Security Holdings.

There were no new investments in fiscal year 2009 and the follow-on investments included: MVC Partners LLC (“MVC Partners”), Harmony Pharmacy, SGDA Europe, and Amersham Corporation (“Amersham”).

We continue to perform due diligence and seek new investments that are consistent with our objective of maximizing total return from capital appreciation and/or income. We believe that we have extensive relationships with private equity firms, investment banks, business brokers, commercial banks, accounting firms, law firms, hedge funds, other investment firms, industry professionals and management teams of several companies, which can continue to provide us with investment opportunities.

We are currently working on an active pipeline of potential new investment opportunities. Our equity and loan investments will generally range between $3.0 million and $25.0 million each, though we may occasionally invest smaller or greater amounts of capital depending upon the particular investment. While the Company does not adhere to a specific equity and debt asset allocation mix, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be invested in the securities of one issuer (other than U.S. government securities), or of two or more issuers that are controlled by us and are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses as of the close of each quarter. Our portfolio company investments are typically illiquid and are made through privately negotiated transactions. We generally seek to invest in companies with a history of strong, predictable, positive EBITDA (net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization).

Our portfolio company investments currently consist of common and preferred stock, other forms of equity interests and warrants or rights to acquire equity interests, senior and subordinated loans, and convertible securities. At October 31, 2011, the value of all investments in portfolio companies was approximately $452.2 million and our gross assets were approximately $497.1 million compared to the value of investments in portfolio companies of approximately $433.9 million and gross assets of approximately $500.4 million at October 31, 2010.

We expect that our investments in senior loans and subordinated debt will generally have stated terms of three to ten years. However, there are no constraints on the maturity or duration of any security in our portfolio. Our debt investments are not, and typically will not be, rated by any rating agency, but we believe that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s). In addition, we may invest without limit in debt of any rating, including debt that has not been rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

On July 16, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVC Financial Services, Inc. (“MVCFS”). MVCFS is incorporated in Delaware and its principal purpose is to provide advisory, administrative and other services to the Company and the Company’s portfolio companies. The Company does not hold MVCFS for investment purposes. The results of MVCFS are consolidated into the Company and all inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. On October 14, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVC Cayman, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, to hold certain of its investments. When operational, the results of MVC Cayman will also be consolidated into the Company.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to change any of the strategies described in this report without seeking the approval of our shareholders. However, the 1940 Act prohibits us from altering or changing our investment objective, strategies or policies such that we cease to be a business development company, nor can we voluntarily withdraw our election to be regulated as a business development company, without the approval of the holders of a “majority,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of our outstanding voting securities.

Substantially all amounts not invested in securities of portfolio companies are invested in short-term, highly liquid money market investments or held in cash in interest bearing accounts. As of October 31, 2011, the Company’s investments in short-term securities, cash and cash equivalents were valued at $35.2 million. Of the $35.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $6.9 million was restricted cash, relating to the Company’s agreement to collateralize a letter of credit being used as collateral for a project guarantee for Security Holdings.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND OFFICES

The Company was organized on December 2, 1999. Prior to July 2004, our name was meVC Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund I, Inc. On March 31, 2000, the Company raised $330.0 million in an initial public offering whereupon it commenced operations as a closed-end investment company. On December 4, 2002, the Company announced it had commenced doing business under the name MVC Capital.

We are a Delaware corporation and a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. On July 16, 2004, the Company formed MVCFS.

In September 2003, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, shareholders voted to adopt a new investment objective for the Company.

Although the Company has been in operation since 2000, the year 2003 marked a new beginning for the Company. In February 2003, shareholders elected an entirely new board of directors. (All but one of the independent members of the current Board of Directors were first elected at the February 2003 Annual Meeting of the shareholders.) The Board of Directors developed a new long-term strategy for the Company. In September 2003, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, shareholders voted to adopt a new investment objective for the Company of seeking to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income. The Company’s prior objective had been limited to seeking long-term capital appreciation from venture capital investments in the information technology industries. Consistent with our broader objective, we adopted a more flexible investment strategy of providing equity and debt financing to small and middle-market companies in a variety of industries. With the recommendation of the Board of Directors, shareholders also voted to appoint Michael Tokarz as Chairman and Portfolio Manager to lead the implementation of our new objective and strategy and to stabilize the existing portfolio. Prior to the arrival of Mr. Tokarz and his new management team in November 2003, the Company had experienced significant valuation declines from investments made by the former management team.

Mr. Tokarz and his team managed the Company under an internal structure through October 31, 2006. On September 7, 2006, the shareholders of the Company approved the Advisory Agreement (with over 92% of the votes cast on the agreement voting in its favor) that provided for the Company to be externally managed by TTG Advisers. The agreement took effect on November 1, 2006. TTG Advisers is a registered investment adviser that is controlled by Mr. Tokarz. All of the individuals (including the Company’s investment professionals) that had been previously employed by the Company as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 became employees of TTG Advisers. The Company’s investment strategy and selection process has remained the same under the externalized management structure. Our Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act, of the Company (the “Independent Directors”), last approved a renewal of the Advisory Agreement at their in-person meeting held on October 25, 2011.

Our principal executive office is located at 287 Bowman Avenue, Purchase, New York 10577 and our telephone number is (914) 701-0310. Our website is http://www.mvccapital.com. Copies of the Company’s annual regulatory filings on Form 10-K, quarterly regulatory filings on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, other regulatory filings, code of ethics, audit committee charter, compensation committee charter, nominating and corporate governance committee charter, corporate governance guidelines, and privacy policy may be obtained from our website, free of charge.

Our Investment Strategy

On November 6, 2003, Mr. Tokarz assumed his current positions as Chairman and Portfolio Manager. We seek to implement our investment objective (i.e., to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income) through making a broad range of private investments in a variety of industries. The investments can

include common and preferred stock, other forms of equity interests and warrants or rights to acquire equity interests, senior and subordinated loans, or convertible securities. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the Company made six new investments and seven follow-on investments in four existing portfolio companies, committing a total of $43.2 million of capital to these investments.

Prior to the adoption of our current investment objective, the Company’s investment objective had been to achieve long-term capital appreciation from venture capital investments in information technology companies. The Company’s investments had thus previously focused on investments in equity and debt securities of information technology companies. As of October 31, 2011, 2.17% of our assets consisted of investments made by the Company’s former management team pursuant to the prior investment objective (the “Legacy Investments”). We are, however, managing these Legacy Investments to try and realize maximum returns. At October 31, 2011, the fair value of portfolio investments of the Legacy Investments was $10.8 million. We generally seek to capitalize on opportunities to realize cash returns on these investments when presented with a potential “liquidity event,” i.e., a sale, public offering, merger or other reorganization.

Our portfolio investments are made pursuant to our objective and strategy. We are concentrating our investment efforts on small and middle-market companies that, in our view, provide opportunities to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income. Under our investment approach, we have the authority to invest, without limit, in any one portfolio company, subject to any diversification limits that may be required in order for us to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Due to our asset growth and composition, compliance with the RIC requirements currently restricts our ability to make additional investments that represent more than 5% of our total assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer (“Non-Diversified Investments”).

We participate in the private equity business generally by providing negotiated equity and/or long-term debt investment capital. Our financing is generally used to fund growth, buyouts, acquisitions, recapitalizations, note purchases and/or bridge financings. We are typically the lead investor in such transactions but may also provide equity and debt financing to companies led by private equity firms or others. We generally invest in private companies, though, from time to time, we may invest in small public companies that may lack adequate access to public capital.

We may also seek to achieve our investment objective by establishing a subsidiary or subsidiaries that would serve as general partner to a private equity or other investment fund(s). In fact, during fiscal year 2006, we established MVC Partners for this purpose. Furthermore, the Board of Directors had authorized the establishment of a private equity fund (the “PE Fund”), for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the general partner (the “GP”) and which may raise up to $250 million. On October 29, 2010, through MVC Partners and MVCFS, the Company committed to invest approximately $20.1 million in the PE Fund. The PE Fund has closed on approximately $104 million of capital commitments. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the establishment of, and investment in, the PE Fund for a variety of reasons, including the Company’s ability to make Non-Diversified Investments through the PE Fund. As previously disclosed, the Company is currently restricted from making Non-Diversified Investments. For services provided to the PE Fund, the GP and MVC Partners are together entitled to receive 25% of all management fees paid by the PE Fund and up to 30% of the carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Further, at the direction of the Board of Directors, the GP retained TTG Advisers to serve as the portfolio manager of the PE Fund. In exchange for providing those services, and pursuant to the Board of Directors’ authorization and direction, TTG Advisers is entitled to receive the balance of the fees and any carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Given this separate arrangement with the GP and the PE Fund, under the terms of the Company’s Advisory Agreement with TTG Advisers, TTG Advisers is not entitled to receive from the Company a management fee or an incentive fee on assets of the Company that are invested in the PE Fund.

As a result of the closings of the PE Fund, consistent with the Board-approved policy concerning the allocation of investment opportunities, the PE Fund will receive a priority allocation of all private equity investments that would otherwise be Non-Diversified Investments for the Company during the PE Fund’s investment period. For a further discussion of this allocation policy, please see “Our Investment Strategy—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” below.

Additionally, in pursuit of our objective we may acquire a portfolio of existing private equity or debt investments held by financial institutions or other investment funds should such opportunities arise.

As of October 31, 2011, October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the fair value of the invested portion (excluding cash and short-term securities) of our net assets as a percentage consisted of the following:


	Fair Value as a Percentage of Our Net Assets
Type of Investment	As of October 31, 2011			As of October 31, 2010			As of October 31, 2009
Senior/Subordinated Loans and credit facilities		20.40	%		26.17	%		36.16	%
Common Stock		22.41	%		18.56	%		20.33	%
Warrants		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.90	%
Preferred Stock		34.89	%		35.06	%		38.86	%
Other Equity Investments		30.09	%		22.30	%		22.21	%

Substantially all amounts not invested in securities of portfolio companies are invested in short-term, highly liquid money market investments or held in cash in an interest bearing account. As of October 31, 2011, these investments were valued at approximately $35.2 million or 8.4% of net assets.

The current portfolio has investments in a variety of industries, including energy, specialty chemicals, automotive dealerships, medical devices, consumer products, value-added distribution, industrial manufacturing, financial services, and information technology in a variety of geographical areas, including the United States, Europe and Asia.

Market. We have developed and maintain relationships with intermediaries, including investment banks, industry executives, financial services companies and private mezzanine and equity sponsors, through which we source investment opportunities. Through these relationships, we have been able to strengthen our position as an investor. For the transactions in which we may provide debt capital, an equity sponsor can provide a source of additional equity capital if a portfolio company requires additional financing.

Investment Criteria. Prospective investments are evaluated by the investment team based upon criteria that may be modified from time to time. The criteria currently being used by management in determining whether to make an investment in a prospective portfolio company include, but are not limited to, management’s view of:

•

Opportunity to revitalize and redirect a company’s resources and strategy;

•

Stable free cash flow of the business;

•

Businesses with secure market niches and predictable profit margins;

•

The presence or availability of highly qualified management teams;

•

The line of products or services offered and their market potential;

•

The presence of a sustainable competitive advantage; and

•

Favorable industry and competitive dynamics.

Due diligence includes a thorough review and analysis of the business plan and operations of a potential portfolio company. We generally perform financial and operational due diligence, study the industry and competitive landscape, and meet with current and former employees, customers, suppliers and/or competitors. In addition, as applicable, we engage attorneys, independent accountants and other consultants to assist with legal, environmental, tax, accounting and marketing due diligence.

Investment Sourcing. Mr. Tokarz and the other investment professionals have established an extensive network of investment referral relationships. Our network of relationships with investors, lenders and intermediaries includes:

•

Private mezzanine and equity investors;

•

Investment banks;

•

Industry executives;

•

Business brokers;

•

Merger and acquisition advisors;

•

Financial services companies; and

•

Banks, law firms and accountants.

Allocation of Investment Opportunities. In allocating investment opportunities, TTG Advisers adheres to the following policy, which was approved by the Board of Directors: TTG Advisers will give the Company priority with respect to all investment opportunities in (i) mezzanine and debt securities and (ii) equity or other “non-debt” investments that are (a) expected to be equal to or less than the lesser of 10% of the Company’s net assets or $25.0 million, and (b) issued by U.S. companies with less than $150.0 million in revenues during the prior twelve months. However, as a result of the PE Fund’s close, the PE Fund will now receive a priority allocation of all equity investments that would otherwise be Non-Diversified Investments for the Company, which will terminate on the later of: (i) the deployment of 80% of the committed capital of the PE Fund or (ii) two years from the first closing date of the PE Fund.

Investment Structure. Portfolio company investments typically will be negotiated directly with the prospective portfolio company or its affiliates. The investment professionals will structure the terms of a proposed investment, including the purchase price, the type of security to be purchased or financing to be provided and the future involvement of the Company and affiliates in the portfolio company’s business (including potential representation on its Board of Directors). The investment professionals will seek to structure the terms of the investment as to provide for the capital needs of the portfolio company and at the same time seek to maximize the Company’s total return.

Once we have determined that a prospective portfolio company is suitable for investment, we work with the management and, in certain cases, other capital providers, such as senior, junior and/or equity capital providers, to structure an investment. We negotiate on how our investment is expected to relate relative to the other capital in the portfolio company’s capital structure.

We make preferred and common equity investments in companies as a part of our investing activities, particularly when we see a unique opportunity to profit from the growth of a company and the potential to enhance our returns. At times, we may invest in companies that are undergoing new strategic initiatives or a restructuring but have several of the above attributes and a management team that we believe has the potential to successfully execute their plans. Preferred equity investments may be structured with a dividend yield, which may provide us with a current return, if earned and received by the Company.

Our senior, subordinated and mezzanine debt investments are tailored to the facts and circumstances of the deal. The specific structure is negotiated over a period of several weeks and is designed to seek to protect our

rights and manage our risk in the transaction. We may structure the debt instrument to require restrictive affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties, lien protection, equity calls, take control provisions and board observation. Our debt investments are not, and typically will not be, rated by any rating agency, but we believe that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade quality (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB–” by Standard & Poor’s, commonly referred to as “junk bonds”).

Our mezzanine debt investments are typically structured as subordinated loans (with or without warrants) that carry a fixed rate of interest. The loans may have interest-only payments in the early years and payments of both principal and interest in the later years, with maturities of three to ten years, although debt maturities and principal amortization schedules vary.

Our mezzanine debt investments may include equity features, such as warrants or options to buy a minority interest in a portfolio company. Any warrants or other rights we receive with our debt securities generally require only a nominal cost to exercise, and thus, as the portfolio company appreciates in value, we may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. We may structure the warrants to provide minority rights provisions and event-driven puts. We may seek to achieve additional investment return from the appreciation and sale of our warrants.

Under certain circumstances, the Company or PE Fund may acquire more than 50% of the common stock of a company in a control buyout transaction. In addition to our common equity investment, we may also provide additional capital to the controlled portfolio company in the form of senior loans, subordinated debt or preferred stock.

We fund new investments using cash, the reinvestment of accrued interest and dividends in debt and equity securities, or the current reinvestment of interest and dividend income through the receipt of a debt or equity security (payment-in-kind income). From time to time, we may also opt to reinvest accrued interest receivable in a new debt or equity security, in lieu of receiving such interest in cash and funding a subsequent investment. We may also acquire investments through the issuance of common or preferred stock, debt, or warrants representing rights to purchase shares of our common or preferred stock. The issuance of our stock as consideration may provide us with the benefit of raising equity without having to access the public capital markets in an underwritten offering, including the added benefit of the elimination of any commissions payable to underwriters.

Providing Management Assistance. As a business development company, we are required to make significant managerial assistance available to the companies in our investment portfolio. In addition to the interest and dividends received from our investments, we often generate additional fee income for the structuring, diligence, transaction, administration and management services and financial guarantees we provide to our portfolio companies through the Company or our wholly-owned subsidiary, MVCFS. In some cases, officers, directors and employees of the Company or the Adviser may serve as members of the Board of Directors of portfolio companies. The Company may provide guidance and management assistance to portfolio companies with respect to such matters as budgets, profit goals, business and financing strategies, management additions or replacements and plans for liquidity events for portfolio company investors such as a merger or initial public offering.

Portfolio Company Monitoring. We monitor our portfolio companies closely to determine whether or not they continue to be attractive candidates for further investment. Specifically, we monitor their ongoing performance and operations and provide guidance and assistance where appropriate. We would decline additional investments in portfolio companies that, in TTG Advisers’ view, do not continue to show promise. However, we may make follow-on investments in portfolio companies that we believe may perform well in the future.

TTG Advisers follows established procedures for monitoring equity and loan investments. The investment professionals have developed a multi-dimensional flexible rating system for all of the Company’s portfolio

investments. The rating grids are updated regularly and reviewed by the Portfolio Manager, together with the investment team. Additionally, the Company’s Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) meets at least quarterly, to review a written valuation memorandum for each portfolio company and to discuss business updates. Furthermore, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer administers the Company’s compliance policies and procedures, specifically as they relate to the Company’s investments in portfolio companies.

We exit our investments generally when a liquidity event takes place, such as the sale, recapitalization or initial public offering of a portfolio company. Our equity holdings, including shares underlying warrants, after the exercise of such warrants, typically include registration rights which would allow us to sell the securities if the portfolio company completes a public offering.

Investment Approval Procedures. Generally, prior to approving any new investment, we follow the process outlined below. We usually conduct one to four months of due diligence and structuring before an investment is considered for approval. However, depending on the type of investment being contemplated, this process may be longer or shorter.

The typical key steps in our investment approval process are:

•

Initial investment screening by deal person or investment team;

•

Investment professionals present an investment proposal containing key terms and understandings (verbal and written) to the entire investment team;

•

Our Chief Compliance Officer reviews the proposed investment for compliance with the 1940 Act, the Code and all other relevant rules and regulations;

•

Investment professionals are provided with authorization to commence due diligence;

•

Any investment professional can call a meeting, as deemed necessary, to: (i) review the due diligence reports; (ii) review the investment structure and terms; (iii) or to obtain any other information deemed relevant;

•

Once all due diligence is completed, the proposed investment is rated using a rating system, which tests several factors including, but not limited to, cash flow, EBITDA growth, management and business stability. We use this rating system as the base line for tracking the investment in the future;

•

Our Chief Compliance Officer confirms that the proposed investment will not cause us to violate the 1940 Act, the Code or any other applicable rule or regulation;

•

Mr. Tokarz approves the transaction; and

•

The investment is funded.

Employees

Upon the effectiveness of the Advisory Agreement on November 1, 2006, the Company no longer has any direct employees. TTG Advisers employs 18 individuals, including investment and portfolio management professionals, operations professionals and administrative staff.

OPERATING EXPENSES

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the Company bore the costs relating to the Company’s operations, including fees and expenses of the Independent Directors; fees of unaffiliated transfer agents, registrars and disbursing agents; legal and accounting expenses; costs of printing and mailing proxy materials and reports to shareholders; NYSE fees; custodian fees and other extraordinary or nonrecurring expenses and

other expenses properly payable by the Company. It should be noted that the Advisory Agreement provided for an expense cap pursuant to which TTG Advisers would absorb or reimburse operating expenses of the Company to the extent necessary to limit the Company’s expense ratio (the consolidated expenses of the Company, including any amounts payable to TTG Advisers under the base management fee, but excluding the amount of any interest and other direct borrowing costs, taxes, incentive compensation and extraordinary expenses taken as a percentage of the Company’s average net assets) to 3.5% in each of the 2009 and 2010 fiscal years. On October 26, 2010, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% to the 2011 fiscal year. For fiscal year 2011, the Company’s expense ratio was 3.18% (taking into account the same exclusions as those applicable to the expense cap). On the same basis, for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the expense ratios were 2.95% and 3.23%, respectively. For the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, TTG Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive $150,000 of expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement (the “Voluntary Waiver”).

Under the externalized structure, all investment professionals of TTG Advisers and its staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing services required to be provided by TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by TTG Advisers and not by the Company, except that costs or expenses relating to the following items are borne by the Company: (i) the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm; (ii) expenses incurred by TTG Advisers payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for the Company and in monitoring the Company’s investments and performing due diligence on its prospective portfolio companies, provided, however, the retention by TTG Advisers of any third party to perform such services shall require the advance approval of the board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the fees for such services are expected to exceed $30,000; once the third party is approved, any expenditure to such third party will not require additional approval from the board; (iii) interest payable on debt and other direct borrowing costs, if any, incurred to finance the Company’s investments or to maintain its tax status; (iv) offerings of the Company’s common stock and other securities; (v) investment advisory and management fees; (vi) fees and payments due under any administration agreement between the Company and its administrator; (vii) transfer agent and custodial fees; (viii) federal and state registration fees; (ix) all costs of registration and listing the Company’s shares on any securities exchange; (x) federal, state and local taxes; (xi) independent directors’ fees and expenses; (xii) costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by governmental bodies (including the SEC); (xiii) costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing and mailing costs; (xiv) the cost of the Company’s fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums; (xv) direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, independent auditors and outside legal costs; (xvi) the costs and expenses associated with the establishment of a special purpose vehicle; (xvii) the allocable portion of the cost (excluding office space) of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary in an amount not to exceed $200,000, per year, in the aggregate; (xviii) subject to a cap of $150,000 in any fiscal year of the Company, fifty percent of the unreimbursed travel and other related (e.g., meals) out-of-pocket expenses (subject to item (ii) above) incurred by TTG Advisers in sourcing investments for the Company; provided that, if the investment is sourced for multiple clients of TTG Advisers, then the Company shall only reimburse fifty percent of its allocable pro rata portion of such expenses; and (xix) all other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with administering the Company’s business (including travel and other out-of-pocket expenses (subject to item (ii) above) incurred in providing significant managerial assistance to a portfolio company).

VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act and in accordance with ASC 820, we value our portfolio securities and escrow receivables at their current market values or, if market quotations are not readily available, at their estimates of fair values. Because our portfolio company investments generally do not have readily ascertainable market values, we record these investments at fair value in accordance with our Valuation

Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors which are consistent with ASC 820. As permitted by the SEC, the Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee, subject to the Board of Directors’ supervision and pursuant to our Valuation Procedures. Our Board of Directors may also hire independent consultants to review our Valuation Procedures or to conduct an independent valuation of one or more of our portfolio investments.

Pursuant to our Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Committee (which is currently comprised of three Independent Directors) determines fair valuation of portfolio company investments and escrow receivables on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances). Any changes in valuation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.” Currently, our NAV per share is calculated and published on a monthly basis. The fair values determined as of the most recent quarter end are reflected in that quarter’s NAV per share and in the next two months’ NAV per share calculation. (If the Valuation Committee determines to fair value an investment more frequently than quarterly, the most recently determined fair value would be reflected in the published NAV per share.) Fair values of foreign investments determined as of quarter end reflect exchange rates, as applicable, in effect on the last day of the quarter. Exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis, sometimes significantly. Exchange rate fluctuations following quarter end are not reflected in the valuations reported in this Annual Report. See Item 1A Risk Factor. “Investments in foreign debt or equity may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.”

The Company calculates our NAV per share by subtracting all liabilities from the total value of our portfolio securities and other assets and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of valuation.

At October 31, 2011, approximately 91.20% of our total assets represented portfolio investments and escrow receivables recorded at fair value (“Fair Value Investments”).

Under most circumstances, at the time of acquisition, Fair Value Investments are carried at cost (absent the existence of conditions warranting, in management’s and the Valuation Committee’s view, a different initial value). During the period that an investment is held by the Company, its original cost may cease to approximate fair value as the result of market and investment specific factors. No pre-determined formula can be applied to determine fair value. Rather, the Valuation Committee analyzes fair value measurements based on the value at which the securities of the portfolio company could be sold in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The liquidity event whereby the Company ultimately exits an investment is generally the sale, the merger, the recapitalization or, in some cases, the initial public offering of the portfolio company.

Valuation Methodology

There is no one methodology to determine fair value and, in fact, for any portfolio security, fair value may be expressed as a range of values, from which the Company derives a single estimate of fair value. To determine the fair value of a portfolio security, the Valuation Committee analyzes the portfolio company’s financial results and projections, publicly traded comparable companies when available, comparable private transactions when available, precedent transactions in the market when available, performs a discounted cash flow analysis if appropriate, as well as other factors. The Company generally requires, where practicable, portfolio companies to provide annual audited and more regular unaudited financial statements, and/or annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.

The fair value of our portfolio securities and escrow receivables is inherently subjective. Because of the inherent uncertainty of fair valuation of portfolio securities and escrow receivables that do not have readily ascertainable market values, our estimate of fair value may significantly differ from the fair value that would have been used had a ready market existed for the securities. Such values also do not reflect brokers’ fees or other selling costs which might become payable on disposition of such investments.

Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. In accordance with the 1940 Act,

unrestricted minority-owned publicly traded securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing market quote on the valuation date and majority-owned publicly traded securities and other privately held securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors. For legally or contractually restricted securities of companies that are publicly traded, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date minus a discount for the restriction. At October 31, 2011, we did not hold restricted or unrestricted securities of publicly traded companies for which we have a majority-owned interest.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure value.

ASC 820 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides an amendment to ASC 820-10 which requires new disclosures on transfers in and out of Levels I and II and activity in Level III fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures such as 1.) level of disaggregation and 2.) disclosure about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level III fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance, the application of which has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company but has resulted in additional disclosures.

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 amends ASC 820, which will require entities to change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements related to the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts for financial and nonfinancial instruments, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in equity, and disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, including the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs, and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any. All the amendments to ASC 820 made by ASU 2011-04 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is evaluating the new requirement and the potential impact, if any, to the Company upon implementation thereof.

If a security is publicly traded, the fair value is generally equal to market value based on the closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is primarily traded.

(“Enterprise Value Waterfall”) valuation methodology. Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, the Valuation Committee estimates the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfalls the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another. To assess the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Valuation Committee weighs some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing assets may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing assets, the Valuation Committee may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets. The Valuation Committee also takes into account historical and anticipated financial results.

In assessing enterprise value, the Valuation Committee considers the mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) market as the principal market in which the Company would sell its investments in portfolio companies under circumstances where the Company has the ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company (“Control Companies”). This approach is consistent with the principal market that the Company would use for its portfolio companies if the Company has the ability to initiate a sale of the portfolio company as of the measurement date, i.e., if it has the ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. In evaluating if the Company can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, the Company takes into account its equity securities on a fully diluted basis as well as other factors.

For non-Control Companies, consistent with ASC 820, the Valuation Committee considers a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market in which it would sell investments in those companies.

For loans and debt securities of non-Control Companies (for which the Valuation Committee has identified the hypothetical secondary market as the principal market), the Valuation Committee determines fair value based on the assumptions that a hypothetical market participant would use to value the security in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology. In applying the Market Yield valuation methodology, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value based on such factors as third party broker quotes and market participant assumptions including synthetic credit ratings, estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date.

Estimates of average life are generally based on market data of the average life of similar debt securities. However, if the Valuation Committee has information available to it that the debt security is expected to be repaid in the near term, the Valuation Committee would use an estimated life based on the expected repayment date.

The Valuation Committee determines fair value of loan and debt securities of Control Companies based on the estimate of the enterprise value of the portfolio company. To the extent the enterprise value exceeds the remaining principal amount of the loan and all other debt securities of the company, the fair value of such securities is generally estimated to be their cost. However, where the enterprise value is less than the remaining principal amount of the loan and all other debt securities, the Valuation Committee may discount the value of such securities to reflect an impairment.

For the Company’s or its subsidiary’s investment in the PE Fund, for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the GP, the Valuation Committee will rely on the GP’s determination of the Fair Value of the PE Fund, which will be made: (i) no less frequently than quarterly as of the Company’s fiscal quarter end and (ii) based on methodologies consistent with those set forth in the Company’s Valuation Procedures. Additionally, when both the Company and the PE Fund hold investments in the same portfolio company, the GP’s Fair Value determination shall be based on the Valuation Committee’s determination of the Fair Value of the Company’s portfolio security in that portfolio company.

As permitted under GAAP, the Company’s interests in private investment funds (“Investment Vehicles”) are generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by management of the underlying Investment Vehicles, without adjustment, unless TTG Advisers is aware of information indicating that a value reported does not accurately reflect the value of the Investment Vehicle, including any information showing that the valuation has not been calculated in a manner consistent with GAAP. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such investments is recorded based on the Company’s proportionate share of the aggregate amount of appreciation (depreciation) recorded by each underlying Investment Vehicle. The Company’s proportionate share includes its share of interest and dividend income and expense, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities held by the underlying Investment Vehicles, net of operating expenses and fees. Realized gains and losses on withdrawals from Investment Vehicles are generally recognized on a first in, first out basis.

The Company applies the practical expedient to interests in Investment Vehicles on an investment by investment basis, and consistently with respect to the Company’s entire interest in an investment. The Company may adjust the valuation obtained from an Investment Vehicle with a premium, discount or reserve if it determines that the net asset value is not representative of the current market conditions.

When the Company receives nominal cost warrants or free equity securities (“nominal cost equity”) with a debt security, the Company typically allocates its cost basis in the investment between debt securities and nominal cost equity at the time of origination.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Origination and/or closing fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are accreted into income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as income. Prepayment premiums are recorded on loans when received.

For loans, debt securities, and preferred securities with contractual payment-in-kind interest or dividends, which represent contractual interest/dividends accrued and added to the loan balance or liquidation preference that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not ascribe value to payment-in-kind interest/dividends if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the payment-in-kind interest is not collectible. However, the Company may ascribe value to payment-in-kind interest if the health of the portfolio company and the underlying securities are not in question. All payment-in-kind interest that has been added to the principal balance or capitalized is subject to ratification by the Valuation Committee.

Escrows from the sale of a portfolio company are generally valued at an amount which may be expected to be received from the buyer under the escrow’s various conditions discounted for both risk and time.

CUSTODIAN

US Bank National Association is the primary custodian (the “Primary Custodian”) of the Company’s portfolio securities. The principal business office of the Primary Custodian is 1555 North River Center Drive, Suite 302, Milwaukee, WI 53212.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP Morgan”) also serves as a custodian of the Company’s securities and other assets. The principal business office of JP Morgan is 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017.

TRANSFER AGENT AND PLAN AGENT

The Company employs Computershare Ltd. (the “Plan Agent”) as its transfer agent to record transfers of the shares, maintain proxy records, process distributions and to act as agent for each participant in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The principal business office of the Plan Agent is 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.

CERTAIN GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

We operate in a highly regulated environment. The following discussion generally summarizes certain government regulations.

Business Development Company. A business development company is defined and subject to the regulations of the 1940 Act. A business development company must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending to primarily private companies and making managerial assistance available to them. A business development company may use capital provided by public shareholders and from other sources to invest in long-term, private investments in businesses.

As a business development company, we may not acquire any asset other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time we make the acquisition, the value of our qualifying assets represents at least 70% of the value of our total assets. In accordance with the 1940 Act, valuation for these purposes are based on the Company’s most recently filed quarterly or annual report, as applicable. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are:

(1) Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions) is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which:

(a) is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;

(b) is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the business development company) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and

•

does not have any class of securities with respect to which a broker or dealer may extend margin credit;

•

is controlled by a business development company or a group of companies including a business development company and the business development company has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or

•

is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4.0 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2.0 million.

The SEC recently adopted Rules 2a-46 and 55a-1 under the 1940 Act, which together expand the foregoing definition of “eligible portfolio company.”

(2) Securities of any eligible portfolio company which we control.

(3) Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lending or financing arrangements.

(4) Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and we already own 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company.

(5) Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the exercise of warrants or rights relating to such securities.

(6) Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities or high-quality debt maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

To include certain securities described above as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, a business development company must make available to the issuer of those securities significant managerial assistance such as providing significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company, or making loans to a portfolio company. We offer to provide managerial assistance to each of our portfolio companies.

As a business development company, the Company is entitled to issue senior securities in the form of stock or senior securities representing indebtedness, including debt securities and preferred stock, as long as each class of senior security has an asset coverage ratio of at least 200% immediately after each such issuance. See “Risk Factors.” The Company may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our Independent Directors and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. On July 11, 2000, the SEC granted us an exemptive order permitting us to make co-investments with certain of our affiliates in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions. Under the exemptive order, the Company is permitted to co-invest in certain portfolio companies with its affiliates, subject to specified conditions. Under the terms of the exemptive order, portfolio companies purchased by the Company and its affiliates are required to be approved by the Independent Directors and are required to satisfy certain other conditions established by the SEC.

As with other companies subject to the regulations of the 1940 Act, a business development company must adhere to certain other substantive ongoing regulatory requirements. A majority of our directors must be persons who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. Additionally, we are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect the business development company. Furthermore, as a business development company, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to the company or our shareholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office.

We and TTG Advisers maintain a code of ethics that establishes procedures for personal investment and restricts certain transactions by our personnel. The code of ethics generally does not permit investment by our employees in securities that may be purchased or held by us. You may read and copy the code of ethics at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information on operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (202) 942-8090. In addition, the code of ethics is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC Internet site at http://www.sec.gov. You may obtain copies of the code of ethics, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following email address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing to the SEC’s Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The code of ethics is also posted on our website at http://www.mvccapital.com.

We may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a business development company unless authorized by vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of our shares. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined by the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of such company’s shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company are present and represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company.

We are periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in MVC Capital involves a number of significant risks relating to our business and investment objective. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

BUSINESS RISKS

Business risks are risks that are associated with general business conditions, the economy, and the operations of the Company. Business risks are not risks associated with our specific investments or an offering of our securities.

We depend on key personnel of TTG Advisers, especially Mr. Tokarz, in seeking to achieve our investment objective.

We depend on the continued services of Mr. Tokarz and certain other key management personnel of TTG Advisers. If we were to lose access to any of these personnel, particularly Mr. Tokarz, it could negatively impact our operations and we could lose business opportunities. There is a risk that Mr. Tokarz’s expertise may be unavailable to the Company, which could significantly impact the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

Our returns may be substantially lower than the average returns historically realized by the private equity industry as a whole.

Past performance of the private equity industry is not necessarily indicative of that sector’s future performance, nor is it necessarily a good proxy for predicting the returns of the Company. We cannot guarantee that we will meet or exceed the rates of return historically realized by the private equity industry as a whole. Additionally, our overall returns are impacted by certain factors related to our structure as a publicly-traded business development company, including:

•

The lower return we are likely to realize on short-term liquid investments during the period in which we are identifying potential investments, and

•

The periodic disclosure required of business development companies, which could result in the Company being less attractive as an investor to certain potential portfolio companies.

Substantially all of our portfolio investments and escrow receivables are recorded at “fair value” and, as a result, there is a degree of uncertainty regarding the carrying values of our portfolio investments.

Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, because our portfolio company investments do not have readily ascertainable market values, we record these investments at fair value in accordance with our Valuation Procedures adopted by our Board of Directors. As permitted by the SEC, the Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee, subject to the Board of Directors’ supervision and pursuant to the Valuation Procedures.

At October 31, 2011, approximately 91.20% of our total assets represented portfolio investments and escrow receivables recorded at fair value.

There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. In determining the fair

value of a portfolio investment, the Valuation Committee analyzes, among other factors, the portfolio company’s financial results and projections and publicly traded comparable companies when available, which may be dependent on general economic conditions. We specifically value each individual investment and record unrealized depreciation for an investment that we believe has become impaired, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, we will record unrealized appreciation if we have an indication (based on a significant development) that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, our equity security has also appreciated in value, where appropriate. Without a readily ascertainable market value and because of the inherent uncertainty of fair valuation, fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Pursuant to our Valuation Procedures, our Valuation Committee (which is currently comprised of three Independent Directors) reviews, considers and determines fair valuations on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances). Any changes in valuation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.”

Economic recessions or downturns, including the current economic instability in Europe and the United States, could impair our portfolio companies and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many of the companies in which we have made or will make investments may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. An economic slowdown may affect the ability of a company to engage in a liquidity event. These conditions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in our revenues, net income and assets. Through the date of this report, conditions in the public debt and equity markets have been volatile and pricing levels have performed similarly. As a result, depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial realized losses and suffer unrealized losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If current market conditions continue, or worsen, it may adversely impact our ability to deploy our investment strategy and achieve our investment objective.

Our overall business of making private equity investments may be affected by current and future market conditions. The absence of an active mezzanine lending or private equity environment may slow the amount of private equity investment activity generally. As a result, the pace of our investment activity may slow, which could impact our ability to achieve our investment objective. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets could have an effect on the valuations of private companies and on the potential for liquidity events involving such companies. This could affect the amount and timing of any gains realized on our investments and thus have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.

Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial realized losses and suffer unrealized losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the global financial markets have not fully recovered from the global financial crisis and the economic factors which gave rise to the crisis. The continuation of current global market conditions, uncertainty or further deterioration, including the economic instability in Europe, could result in further declines in the market values of the Company investments. Such declines could also lead to diminished investment opportunities for the Company, prevent the Company from successfully executing its investment strategies or require the Company to dispose of investments at a loss while such adverse market conditions prevail.

We may not realize gains from our equity investments.

When we invest in mezzanine and senior debt securities, we may acquire warrants or other equity securities as well. We may also invest directly in various equity securities. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity

interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we receive or invest in may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. In addition, the equity securities we receive or invest in may be subject to restrictions on resale during periods in which it would be advantageous to sell. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

The market for private equity investments can be highly competitive. In some cases, our status as a regulated business development company may hinder our ability to participate in investment opportunities.

We face competition in our investing activities from private equity funds, other business development companies, investment banks, investment affiliates of large industrial, technology, service and financial companies, small business investment companies, wealthy individuals and foreign investors. As a regulated business development company, we are required to disclose quarterly the name and business description of portfolio companies and the value of any portfolio securities. Many of our competitors are not subject to this disclosure requirement. Our obligation to disclose this information could hinder our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies. Additionally, other regulations, current and future, may make us less attractive as a potential investor to a given portfolio company than a private equity fund not subject to the same regulations. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater resources than we do. Increased competition would make it more difficult for us to purchase or originate investments at attractive prices. As a result of this competition, sometimes we may be precluded from making certain investments.

Our ability to use our capital loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the Company had net realized losses of approximately $26.4 million primarily associated with the dissolutions of Amersham, Harmony Pharmacy, HuaMei and Sonexis and has net unrealized losses of $21.5 million associated with Legacy Investments. Since the Company’s realized losses were not offset by realized gains during the current fiscal year, the Company will be able to utilize them as capital loss carryforwards in future years. If we experience an aggregate 50% shift in the ownership of our common stock from shareholder transactions over a three year period (e.g., if a shareholder acquires 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, or if a shareholder who owns 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock significantly increases or decreases its investment in the Company), our ability to utilize our capital loss carryforwards to offset future capital gains may be severely limited. Further, in the event that we are deemed to have failed to meet the requirements to qualify as a RIC, our ability to use our capital loss carryforwards could be adversely affected.

Loss of pass-through tax treatment would substantially reduce net assets and income available for dividends.

We have operated so as to qualify as a RIC. If we meet source of income, diversification and distribution requirements, we will qualify for effective pass-through tax treatment. We would cease to qualify for such pass-through tax treatment if we were unable to comply with these requirements. In addition, we may have difficulty meeting the requirement to make distributions to our shareholders because in certain cases we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income. If we fail to qualify as a RIC, we will have to pay corporate-level taxes on all of our income whether or not we distribute it, which would substantially reduce the amount of income available for distribution to our shareholders. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to a corporate-level income tax on the income we do not distribute. Moreover, if we do not distribute at least 98% of our income and 98.2% of our capital gains, we generally will be subject to a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed amounts.

Our ability to grow depends on our ability to raise capital.

To fund new investments, we may need to issue periodically equity securities or borrow from financial institutions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. If we fail to obtain capital to fund our investments, it could limit both our ability to grow our business and our profitability. With certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing. The amount of leverage that we employ depends on TTG Advisers’ and our board of directors’ assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current facilities or obtain other lines of credit at all or on terms acceptable to us.

Complying with the RIC requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy tests concerning the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets and the amounts we distribute to our shareholders. We may be unable to pursue investments that would otherwise be advantageous to us in order to satisfy the source of income or asset diversification requirements for qualification as a RIC. In particular, to qualify as a RIC, at least 50% of our assets must be in the form of cash and cash items, Government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities that represent not more than 5% of our total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. We have from time to time held a significant portion of our assets in the form of securities that exceed 5% of our total assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer, and compliance with the RIC requirements currently restricts us from making additional investments that represent more than 5% of our total assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. Thus, compliance with the RIC requirements may hinder our ability to take advantage of investment opportunities believed to be attractive, including potential follow-on investments in certain of our portfolio companies. Furthermore, as a result of the foregoing restrictions, the Board has approved an amended policy for the allocation of investment opportunities, which requires TTG Advisers to give first priority to the PE Fund for all equity investments that would otherwise be Non-Diversified Investments for the Company. For a further discussion of this allocation policy, please see “Our Investment Strategy—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” above.

Regulations governing our operation as a business development company affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our common stock or warrants at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of our common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). If we raise additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, then the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time will decrease, and you might experience dilution.

Any failure on our part to maintain our status as a business development company would reduce our operating flexibility.

We intend to continue to qualify as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs are required to invest at

least 70% of their total assets in specified types of securities, primarily in private companies or thinly-traded U.S. public companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Furthermore, any failure to comply with the requirements imposed on BDCs by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us and/or expose us to claims of private litigants. In addition, upon approval of a majority of our stockholders, we may elect to withdraw our status as a business development company. If we decide to withdraw our election, or if we otherwise fail to qualify as a business development company, we may be subject to the substantially greater regulation under the 1940 Act as a closed-end investment company. Compliance with such regulations would significantly decrease our operating flexibility, and could significantly increase our costs of doing business.

Changes in the law or regulations that govern business development companies and RICs, including changes in tax regulations, may significantly impact our business.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to regulation by laws at the local, state and federal levels, including federal securities law and federal taxation law. These laws and regulations, as well as their interpretation, may change from time to time. A change in these laws or regulations may significantly affect our business.

Results may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future performance.

Our operating results will fluctuate and, therefore, you should not rely on current or historical period results to be indicative of our performance in future reporting periods. In addition to many of the above-cited risk factors, other factors could cause operating results to fluctuate including, among others, variations in the investment origination volume and fee income earned, variation in timing of prepayments, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions.

Our common stock price can be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of the common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include the following:

•

Price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

•

Significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of business development companies or other financial services companies;

•

Volatility resulting from trading in derivative securities related to our common stock including puts, calls, long-term equity participation securities, or LEAPs, or short trading positions;

•

Changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines with respect to business development companies or RICs;

•

Our adherence to applicable regulatory and tax requirements, including the current restriction on our ability to make Non-Diversified Investments;

•

Actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results or changes in the expectations of securities analysts;

•

General economic conditions and trends;

•

Loss of a major funding source, which would limit our liquidity and our ability to finance transactions; or

•

Departures of key personnel of TTG Advisers.

We are subject to market discount risk.

As with any stock, the price of our shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. If shares are sold, the price received may be more or less than the original investment. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of our shares will not depend directly upon our NAV, but will depend upon the market price of the shares at the time of sale. Since the market price of our shares will be affected by such factors as the relative demand for and supply of the shares in the market, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict whether the shares will trade at, below or above our NAV. Although our shares, from time to time, have traded at a premium to our NAV, currently, our shares are trading at a discount to NAV, which discount may fluctuate over time.

We have not established a minimum dividend payment level and we cannot assure you of our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in the future.

We cannot assure that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. Our ability to make distributions is impacted by, among other things, the risk factors described in this report. In addition, the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company can limit our ability to make distributions. Any distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you of our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

We have borrowed and may continue to borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing in us.

We have borrowed and may continue to borrow money (subject to the 1940 Act limits) in seeking to achieve our investment objective going forward. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, can increase the risks associated with investing in our securities.

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a business development company, to borrow money or “issue senior securities” only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.

We may borrow from, and issue senior debt securities to, banks, insurance companies and other lenders. Lenders of these senior securities have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common shareholders. If the value of our assets increases, then leveraging would cause the NAV attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would had we not used leverage. Conversely, if the value of our consolidated assets decreases, leveraging would cause the NAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would had we not used leverage. Similarly, any increase in our consolidated income in excess of consolidated interest expense on the borrowed funds would cause our net investment income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our consolidated income would cause net investment income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stock dividend payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.

Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net operating income and our ability to obtain additional financing.

Because we have borrowed and may continue to borrow money to make investments, our net investment income before net realized and unrealized gains or losses, or net investment income, may be dependent upon the

difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In periods of declining interest rates, we may have difficulty investing our borrowed capital into investments that offer an appropriate return. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. We may use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our investing activities. We may utilize our short-term credit facilities as a means to bridge to long-term financing. Our long-term fixed-rate investments are financed primarily with equity and long-term fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Additionally, we cannot assure you that financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Recent turmoil in the credit markets has greatly reduced the availability of debt financing. Deterioration in the credit markets, which could delay our ability to sell certain of our loan investments in a timely manner, could also negatively impact our cash flows.

We may be unable to meet our covenant obligations under our credit facility, which could adversely affect our business.

On April 27, 2006, the Company and MVCFS, as co-borrowers, entered into a four-year, $100 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC (“Guggenheim”) as administrative agent to the lenders. On April 13, 2010, the Company renewed the Credit Facility for three years. The Credit Facility consists of a $50.0 million term loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 450 basis points with a 1.25% LIBOR floor. As of October 31, 2011, there was $50.0 million in term debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains covenants that we may not be able to meet. If we cannot meet these covenants, events of default would arise, which could result in payment of the applicable indebtedness being accelerated and may limit our ability to execute on our investment strategy. As such, from time to time, due to investment activity, changing cash positions and the need to execute against certain corporate strategies, the Company has obtained Guggenheim’s consent to waive compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Facility and may require such consents in the future. The Credit Facility will expire on April 27, 2013, at which time the outstanding amount under the Credit Facility will be due and payable.

In addition, if we require working capital greater than that provided by the Credit Facility, we may be required to obtain other sources of funds, which, if available, may result in increased borrowing costs for the Company and/or additional covenant obligations.

A portion of our existing investment portfolio was not selected by the investment team of TTG Advisers.

As of October 31, 2011, 2.17% of the Company’s assets were represented by Legacy Investments. These investments were made pursuant to the Company’s prior investment objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation from venture capital investments in information technology companies. Generally, a cash return may not be received on these investments until a “liquidity event,” i.e., a sale, public offering or merger, occurs. Until then, these Legacy Investments remain in the Company’s portfolio. The Company is managing them to seek to realize maximum returns.

Under the Advisory Agreement, TTG Advisers is entitled to compensation based on our portfolio’s performance. This arrangement may result in riskier or more speculative investments in an effort to maximize incentive compensation.

The way in which the compensation payable to TTG Advisers is determined may encourage the investment team to recommend riskier or more speculative investments and to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would adversely affect our shareholders, including investors in this offering. In addition, key criteria related to determining appropriate investments and investment strategies, including the preservation of capital, might be under-weighted if the investment team focuses exclusively or disproportionately on maximizing returns.

There are potential conflicts of interest that could impact our investment returns.

Our officers and directors, and members of the TTG Advisers investment team, may serve other entities, including the PE Fund and others that operate in the same or similar lines of business as we do. Accordingly, they may have obligations to those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our shareholders. It is possible that new investment opportunities that meet our investment objectives may come to the attention of one of the management team members or our officers or directors in his or her role as an officer or director of another entity or as an investment professional associated with that entity, and, if so, such opportunity might not be offered, or otherwise made available, to us.

Additionally, as an investment adviser, TTG Advisers has a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of its clients, including us. To that end, if TTG Advisers manages any additional investment vehicles or client accounts (which includes its current management of the PE Fund), TTG Advisers will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner. When the investment professionals of TTG Advisers identify an investment, they will have to choose which investment fund should make the investment. As a result, there may be times when the management team of TTG Advisers has interests that differ from those of our shareholders, giving rise to a conflict. In an effort to mitigate situations that give rise to such conflicts, TTG Advisers adheres to a policy (which was approved by our Board of Directors) relating to allocation of investment opportunities, which generally requires, among other things, that TTG Advisers continue to offer the Company investment opportunities in mezzanine and debt securities as well as non-control equity investments in small and middle market U.S. companies. For a further discussion of this allocation policy, please see “Our Investment Strategy—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” above.

Wars, terrorist attacks, and other acts of violence may affect any market for our common stock, impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our operations and our profitability.

The continuing occupation of Iraq and other military presence in other countries, as well as the current unrest in the Middle East region, are likely to have a substantial impact on the U.S. and world economies and securities markets. The nature, scope and duration of the unrest, wars and occupation cannot be predicted with any certainty. Furthermore, terrorist attacks may harm our results of operations and your investment. We cannot assure you that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or U.S. businesses. Such attacks and armed conflicts in the United States or elsewhere may impact the businesses in which we invest directly or indirectly, by undermining economic conditions in the United States. Losses resulting from terrorist events are generally uninsurable.

Our financial condition and results of operations will depend on our ability to effectively manage our future growth.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives can depend on our ability to sustain continued growth. Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of our marketing capabilities, our management of the investment process, our ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services and our access to financing sources on acceptable terms. As we grow, TTG Advisers may need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. Failure to effectively manage our future growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

INVESTMENT RISKS

Investment risks are risks associated with our determination to execute on our business objective. These risks are not risks associated with general business conditions or those relating to an offering of our securities.

Investing in private companies involves a high degree of risk.

Our investment portfolio generally consists of loans to, and investments in, private companies. Investments in private businesses involve a high degree of business and financial risk, which can result in substantial losses and, accordingly, should be considered speculative. There is generally very little publicly available information about the companies in which we invest, and we rely significantly on the due diligence of the members of the investment team to obtain information in connection with our investment decisions.

Our investments in portfolio companies are generally illiquid.

We generally acquire our investments directly from the issuer in privately negotiated transactions. Most of the investments in our portfolio (other than cash or cash equivalents and certain other investments made pending investments in portfolio companies such as investments in exchange-traded funds) are typically subject to restrictions on resale or otherwise have no established trading market. We may exit our investments when the portfolio company has a liquidity event, such as a sale, recapitalization or initial public offering. The illiquidity of our investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of equity and debt securities at times when it may be otherwise advantageous for us to liquidate such investments. In addition, if we were forced to immediately liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation could be significantly less than the current fair value of such investments.

Our investments in small and middle-market privately-held companies are extremely risky and the Company could lose its entire investment.

Investments in small and middle-market privately-held companies are subject to a number of significant risks including the following:

•

Small and middle-market companies may have limited financial resources and may not be able to repay the loans we make to them. Our strategy includes providing financing to companies that typically do not have capital sources readily available to them. While we believe that this provides an attractive opportunity for us to generate profits, this may make it difficult for the borrowers to repay their loans to us upon maturity.

•

Small and middle-market companies typically have narrower product lines and smaller market shares than large companies. Because our target companies are smaller businesses, they may be more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns. In addition, smaller companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing and other capabilities, and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel.

•

There is generally little or no publicly available information about these privately-held companies. There is generally little or no publicly available operating and financial information about privately-held companies. As a result, we rely on our investment professionals to perform due diligence investigations of these privately-held companies, their operations and their prospects. We may not learn all of the material information we need to know regarding these companies through our investigations. It is difficult, if not impossible, to protect the Company from the risk of fraud, misrepresentation or poor judgement by our portfolio companies.

•

Small and middle-market companies generally have less predictable operating results. We expect that our portfolio companies may have significant variations in their operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position, may otherwise have a weak financial position or may be adversely affected by changes in the business cycle. Our portfolio companies may not meet net income, cash flow and other coverage tests typically imposed by their senior lenders.

•

Small and middle-market businesses are more likely to be dependent on one or two persons. Typically, the success of a small or middle-market company also depends on the management talents and efforts of one or two persons or a small group of persons. The death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us.

•

Small and middle-market companies are likely to have greater exposure to economic downturns than larger companies. We expect that our portfolio companies will have fewer resources than larger businesses and an economic downturn may thus more likely have a material adverse effect on them.

•

Small and middle-market companies may have limited operating histories. We may make debt or equity investments in new companies that meet our investment criteria. Portfolio companies with limited operating histories are exposed to the operating risks that new businesses face and may be particularly susceptible to, among other risks, market downturns, competitive pressures and the departure of key executive officers.

Our borrowers may default on their payments, which may have an effect on our financial performance.

We may make long-term unsecured, subordinated loans, which may involve a higher degree of repayment risk than conventional secured loans. We primarily invest in companies that may have limited financial resources and that may be unable to obtain financing from traditional sources. In addition, numerous factors may adversely affect a portfolio company’s ability to repay a loan we make to it, including the failure to meet a business plan, a downturn in its industry or operating results, or negative economic conditions. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in any related collateral.

Our investments in mezzanine and other debt securities may involve significant risks.

Our investment strategy contemplates investments in mezzanine and other debt securities of privately held companies. “Mezzanine” investments typically are structured as subordinated loans (with or without warrants) that carry a fixed rate of interest. We may also make senior secured and other types of loans or debt investments. Our debt investments are not, and typically will not be, rated by any rating agency, but we believe that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade quality (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s, commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). Loans of below investment grade quality have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the borrower’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Our debt investments in portfolio companies may thus result in a high level of risk and volatility and/or loss of principal.

We are a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of portfolio companies, which subjects us to a risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of one or more portfolio companies deteriorate.

We are classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore we may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of portfolio companies in a limited number of industries. As of October 31, 2011, the fair value of our two largest investments, Summit Research Labs, Inc. (“Summit”) and U.S. Gas & Electric, Inc. (“U.S. Gas”), comprised 20.4% and 21.5% of our net assets, respectively. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and while we are not targeting any specific industries, relatively few industries may continue to be significantly represented among our investments. To the extent that we have large positions in the securities of a small number of portfolio companies, we are subject to an increased risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of these portfolio companies deteriorate. We may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence as a result of holding large positions in a small number of portfolio companies.

When we are a debt or minority equity investor in a portfolio company, we may not be in a position to control the entity, and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

We anticipate making debt and minority equity investments; therefore, we will be subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and the shareholders and management of such company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity in the markets for our investments in privately held companies, we may not be able to dispose of our interests in our portfolio companies as readily as we would like. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

We may choose to waive or defer enforcement of covenants in the debt securities held in our portfolio, which may cause us to lose all or part of our investment in these companies.

Some of our loans to our portfolio companies may be structured to include customary business and financial covenants placing affirmative and negative obligations on the operation of each company’s business and its financial condition. However, from time to time, we may elect to waive breaches of these covenants, including our right to payment, or waive or defer enforcement of remedies, such as acceleration of obligations or foreclosure on collateral, depending upon the financial condition and prospects of the particular portfolio company. These actions may reduce the likelihood of our receiving the full amount of future payments of interest or principal and be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of the underlying collateral as many of these companies may have limited financial resources, may be unable to meet future obligations and may go bankrupt. This could negatively impact our ability to pay dividends and cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Our portfolio companies may incur obligations that rank equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies. As a result, the holders of such obligations may be entitled to payments of principal or interest prior to us, preventing us from obtaining the full value of our investment in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, acquisition, merger or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

Our portfolio companies may have other obligations that rank equally with, or senior to, the securities in which we invest. By their terms, such other securities may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments in respect of the securities in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of securities ranking senior to our investment in the relevant portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying investors that are more senior than us, the portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of other securities ranking equally with securities in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other investors holding such securities in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company. As a result, we may be prevented from obtaining the full value of our investment in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

Investments in foreign debt or equity may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Our investment strategy has resulted in some investments in debt or equity of foreign companies (subject to applicable limits prescribed by the 1940 Act). Investing in foreign companies can expose us to additional risks

not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include exchange rates, changes in exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility. A portion of our investments are located in countries that use the euro as their official currency. The USD/euro exchange rate, like foreign exchange rates in general, can be volatile and difficult to predict. This volatility could materially and adversely affect the value of the Company’s shares.

Investing in our securities may involve a high degree of risk.

The investments we make in accordance with our investment objective may result in a higher amount of risk than alternative investment options and volatility or loss of principal. Our investments in portfolio companies may be highly speculative and aggressive, and therefore, an investment in our securities may not be suitable for someone with a low risk tolerance.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

As a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company is required to distribute to its shareholders, in a timely manner, at least 90% of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income each year. If the Company distributes, in a calendar year, at least 98% of its income and 98.2% of its capital gains for such calendar year (as well as any portion of the respective 2% balances not distributed in the previous year), it will not be subject to the 4% non-deductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income of RICs.

Dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid quarterly according to the Company’s policy established on July 11, 2005. An additional distribution may be paid by the Company to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed net investment income and capital gains. Distributions can be made payable by

¹ Total Return includes reinvestment of dividends through October 31, 2011. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

the Company either in the form of a cash distribution or a stock dividend. The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by the Company, differing treatments of expenses paid by the Company, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Company. Key examples of the primary differences in expenses paid are the accounting treatment of MVCFS (which is consolidated for GAAP purposes, but not income tax purposes) and the variation in treatment of incentive compensation expense. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications and may affect the allocation between net operating income, net realized gain (loss) and paid-in capital.

All of our shareholders who hold shares of common stock in their own name will automatically be enrolled in our dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”). All such shareholders will have any cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested by the Plan Agent in additional shares of our common stock. Of course, any shareholder may elect to receive his or her dividends and distributions in cash. Currently, the Company has a policy of seeking to pay quarterly dividends to shareholders. For any of our shares that are held by banks, brokers or other entities that hold our shares as nominees for individual shareholders, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified by any nominee as being registered for shareholders that have not elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash. To receive your dividends and distributions in cash, you must notify the Plan Agent, broker or other entity that holds the shares.

The Plan Agent serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. When we declare a dividend or distribution payable in cash or in additional shares of our common stock, those shareholders participating in the Plan will receive their dividend or distribution in additional shares of our common stock. Such shares will be either newly issued by us or purchased in the open market by the Plan Agent. If the market value of a share of our common stock on the payment date for such dividend or distribution equals or exceeds the NAV per share on that date, we will issue new shares at the NAV. If the NAV exceeds the market price of our common stock, the Plan Agent will purchase in the open market such number of shares of our common stock as is necessary to complete the distribution.

The Plan Agent will maintain all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnish written confirmation of all transactions. Shares of our common stock in the Plan will be held in the name of the Plan Agent or its nominee and such shareholder will be considered the beneficial owner of such shares for all purposes.

There is no charge to shareholders for participating in the Plan or for the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. We will not incur brokerage fees with respect to newly issued shares issued in connection with the Plan. Shareholders will, however, be charged a pro rata share of any brokerage fee charged for open market purchases in connection with the Plan.

We may terminate the Plan upon providing written notice to each shareholder participating in the Plan at least 60 days prior to the effective date of such termination. We may also materially amend the Plan at any time upon providing written notice to shareholders participating in the Plan at least 30 days prior to such amendment (except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or rules and policies of the SEC or other regulatory authority). You may withdraw from the Plan upon providing notice to the Plan Agent. You may obtain additional information about the Plan from the Plan Agent.

The Company reserves the right to retain net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses for reinvestment or to pay contingencies and expenses. Such retained amounts, if any, will be taxable to the Company, and shareholders will be able to claim their proportionate share of the federal income taxes paid by the Company on such gains as a credit against their own federal income tax liabilities. Shareholders will also be entitled to increase the adjusted tax basis of their company shares by the difference between their undistributed capital gains and their tax credit.

Purchases of Common Stock

In fiscal 2011, as a part of the Plan, we directed the Plan Agent to purchase a total of 5,648 shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $76,000 in the open market in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of our dividends.

Quarter Ended	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid Per Share Including Commission
10/31/11		1,492	$	12.82
07/31/11		1,693	$	12.56
04/30/11		1,252	$	13.70

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On April 23, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $5.0 million for share repurchases.

Under the program, 380,105 shares were repurchased at an average price of $13.06, including commission, with a total cost of approximately $5.0 million. The Company’s net asset value per share was increased by approximately $0.07 as a result of the share repurchases.

On July 19, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another share repurchase program authorizing up to $5.0 million for additional share repurchases. No shares were repurchased under this new repurchase program as of October 31, 2011. Implementation of the program, as well as the timing thereof, depends on a variety of factors, including, among others, the availability of capital, the Company’s current share price and the ability to conduct the offer under the Credit Facility.

The following table represents our stock repurchase program for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid per Share including commission		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program		Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The Company’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income.

On November 6, 2003, Mr. Tokarz assumed his positions as Chairman and Portfolio Manager of the Company. He and the Company’s management team are seeking to implement our investment objective (i.e., to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income) through making a broad range of private investments in a variety of industries.

The investments can include senior or subordinated loans, convertible debt and convertible preferred securities, common or preferred stock, equity interests, warrants or rights to acquire equity interests and other private equity transactions. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company obtained one new

investment and made four additional investments in existing portfolio companies committing a total of $8.3 million of capital to these investments. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the Company made six new investments and made seven additional investments in four existing portfolio companies committing a total of $43.2 million of capital to these investments.

Prior to the adoption of our current investment objective, the Company’s investment objective had been to achieve long-term capital appreciation from venture capital investments in information technology companies. The Company’s investments had thus previously focused on investments in equity and debt securities of information technology companies. As of October 31, 2011, 2.17% of the current fair value of our assets consisted of Legacy Investments. We are, however, seeking to manage these Legacy Investments to try and realize maximum returns. We generally seek to capitalize on opportunities to realize cash returns on these investments when presented with a potential “liquidity event,” i.e., a sale, public offering, merger or other reorganization.

Our portfolio investments are made pursuant to our objective and strategy. We are concentrating our investment efforts on small and middle-market companies that, in our view, provide opportunities to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income. Under our investment approach, we are permitted to invest, without limit, in any one portfolio company, subject to any diversification limits required in order for us to continue to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Due to our asset growth and composition, compliance with the RIC requirements currently restricts our ability to make Non-Diversified Investments.

We participate in the private equity business generally by providing privately negotiated long-term equity and/or debt investment capital to small and middle-market companies. Our financing is generally used to fund growth, buyouts, acquisitions, recapitalizations, note purchases and/or bridge financings. We generally invest in private companies, though, from time to time, we may invest in public companies that may lack adequate access to public capital.

We may also seek to achieve our investment objective by establishing a subsidiary or subsidiaries that would serve as general partner to a private equity or other investment fund(s). In fact, during fiscal year 2006, we established MVC Partners, LLC (“MVC Partners”) for this purpose. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has authorized the establishment of a PE Fund, for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the GP and which may raise up to $250 million. On October 29, 2010, through MVC Partners and MVCFS, the Company committed to invest approximately $20.1 million in the PE Fund. The PE Fund has closed on approximately $104 million of capital commitments. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the establishment of, and investment in, the PE Fund for a variety of reasons, including the Company’s ability to make Non-Diversified Investments through the PE Fund. As previously disclosed, the Company is currently restricted from making Non-Diversified Investments. For services provided to the PE Fund, the GP and MVC Partners are together entitled to receive 25% of all management fees paid by the PE Fund and up to 30% of the carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Further, at the direction of the Board of Directors, the GP retained TTG Advisers to serve as the portfolio manager of the PE Fund. In exchange for providing those services, and pursuant to the Board of Directors’ authorization and direction, TTG Advisers is entitled to receive the balance of the fees and any carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Given this separate arrangement with the GP and the PE Fund, under the terms of the Company’s Advisory Agreement with TTG Advisers, TTG Advisers is not entitled to receive from the Company a management fee or an incentive fee on assets of the Company that are invested in the PE Fund.

As a result of the closing of the PE Fund, consistent with the Board-approved policy concerning the allocation of investment opportunities, the PE Fund will receive a priority allocation of all private equity investments that would otherwise be Non-Diversified Investments for the Company during the PE Fund’s investment period. For a further discussion of this allocation policy, please see “Our Investment Strategy — Allocation of Investment Opportunities” above.

Additionally, in pursuit of our objective, we may acquire a portfolio of existing private equity or debt investments held by financial institutions or other investment funds should such opportunities arise.

OPERATING INCOME

For the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Total operating income was $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and $23.5 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, a decrease of $7.5 million. Fiscal year 2010 operating income decreased by $2.6 million compared to fiscal year 2009 operating income of $26.1 million.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2011

Total operating income was $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. The decrease in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to the repayment of investments that provided the Company with current income, reserves against non-performing loans and a decrease in dividend income from the sale of portfolio companies. The main components of operating income were the interest earned on loans and the receipt of closing, monitoring and termination fees from certain portfolio companies by the Company and MVCFS. The Company earned approximately $11.5 million in interest and dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the $11.5 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately $3.2 million was “payment in kind” interest/dividends. The “payment in kind” interest/dividends are computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of each investment. The Company’s debt investments yielded rates from 3% to 15%, excluding those investments which interest is being reserved against. The Company received fee income and other income from portfolio companies and other entities totaling approximately $4.5 million.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2010

Total operating income was $23.5 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The decrease of $2.6 million in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to the repayment of investments that provided the Company with current income, reserves against non-performing loans and a decrease in fee income because of fewer new investments closed. The main components of investment income were the interest earned on loans and dividend income from portfolio companies and the receipt of closing and monitoring fees from certain portfolio companies by the Company and MVCFS. The Company earned approximately $19.3 million in interest and dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the $19.3 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately $5.6 million was “payment in kind” interest/dividends. The “payment in kind” interest/dividends are computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of each investment. The Company’s debt investments yielded rates from 1.3% to 17% excluding those investments in which accrued interest is being reserved against. The Company received fee income and other income from portfolio companies and other entities totaling approximately $4.2 million.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009

Total operating income was $26.1 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. The decrease in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to a decrease in interest income. This decrease was the result of the repayment of yielding investments that provide the Company with interest income, a decrease in the LIBOR rate which impacts our variable rate loans, and reserves against non-performing loans. The main components of investment income were the interest earned on loans and dividend income from portfolio companies and the receipt of closing and monitoring fees from certain portfolio companies by the Company and MVCFS. The Company earned approximately $21.8 million in interest and dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the $21.8 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately

$6.4 million was “payment in kind” interest/dividends. The “payment in kind” interest/dividends are computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal balance of each investment. The Company’s debt investments yielded rates from 1.25% to 17%. Also, the Company earned approximately $14,400 in interest income on its cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company received fee income and other income from portfolio companies and other entities totaling approximately $4.3 million.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Net Operating expenses were $18.2 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended 2010, an increase of approximately $300,000. Fiscal year 2010 operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million compared to fiscal year 2009 operating expenses of $20.2 million.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2011

Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waiver defined below, were approximately $18.2 million or 4.38% of the Company’s average net assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Significant components of operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 were management fee expense of $9.1 million and interest and other borrowing costs of approximately $3.1 million.

The $300,000 increase in the Company’s operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, was primarily due to the increases in interest and other borrowing costs, legal and other expenses totaling approximately $1.0 million offset by the decreases in management fee and the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense of approximately $700,000. For the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, TTG Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive $150,000 of expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement (the “Voluntary Waiver”). On October 26, 2010, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% to the 2011 fiscal year. On October 25, 2011, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% and the Voluntary Waiver to the 2012 fiscal year. TTG Advisers has also voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that are invested in exchange-traded funds would not be taken into account in the calculation of the base management fee due to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement. For fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011, the Company’s expense ratio was 2.95% and 3.18%, respectively, (taking into account the same carve outs as those applicable to the expense cap).

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net amount of approximately $1.9 million to approximately $23.9 million. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 reflects both increases and decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair values of certain portfolio companies. The provision also reflects the sale of the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund and the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund for a realized gain of approximately $106,000, realized gains of approximately $55,000 and $317,000 from the Octagon Fund and LHD Europe Holding, Inc. (“LHD Europe”), respectively, and a realized loss from the sale of HuaMei of $2.0 million. Specifically, it reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of six of the Company’s portfolio investments (Summit, SHL Group Limited, Security Holdings, Total Safety U.S., Inc. (“Total Safety”), U.S. Gas, and Velocitius B.V. (“Velocitius”)) by a total of approximately $39.7 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical Corporation (“Ohio Medical”) preferred stock by approximately $1.9 million due to PIK distributions, which were treated as a return of capital. The net increase in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of eleven of the Company’s portfolio investments (BP Clothing, LLC (“BP”), Ohio Medical common and preferred stock, MVC Automotive Group B.V. (“MVC Automotive”), HuaMei, SIA Tekers Invest (“Tekers”), Octagon Fund, NPWT, SGDA

Europe, Vestal Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. (“Vestal”) and HH&B) by a total of $32.1 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate. Please see Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements “Incentive Compensation” for more information.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2010

Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waiver, were $17.9 million or 4.19% of the Company’s average net assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. Significant components of operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, included the management fee of $9.3 million, interest and other borrowing costs of approximately $2.8 million and incentive compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million. The estimated provision for incentive compensation expense is a non-cash, not yet payable, provisional expense relating to the Advisory Agreement.

The $2.2 million decrease in the Company’s operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, was primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense, an approximately $500,000 decrease in management fee expense and an approximately $300,000 decrease in interest and other borrowing costs. The Advisory Agreement extended the expense cap applicable to the Company for an additional two fiscal years (fiscal years 2009 and 2010) and increased the expense cap from 3.25% to 3.5%. For fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, the Company’s expense ratio was 3.23% and 2.95%, respectively, (taking into account the same carve outs as those applicable to the expense cap). For the 2010 fiscal year, TTG Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive $150,000 of expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement (the “Voluntary Waiver”). On October 26, 2010, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% and the Voluntary Waiver to the 2011 fiscal year.

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net amount of $2.5 million to $22.0 million. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation reflects both increases and decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair values of certain portfolio companies and the sale of Vitality for a realized gain of $13.9 million. The difference between the amount received from the sale and Vitality’s carrying value at October 31, 2009 was an increase of $3.0 million. The amount of the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of eight of the Company’s portfolio investments (Octagon Credit Investors, LLC (“Octagon”), Summit, Velocitius, LHD Europe, PreVisor, Inc. (“PreVisor”), U.S. Gas, Vestal and Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. (“Dakota Growers”)) by a total of $54.2 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $6.8 million due to PIK distributions, which were treated as a return of capital. The net increase in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of ten of the Company’s portfolio investments (Amersham, BP, Ohio Medical, MVC Automotive, Security Holdings, Harmony Pharmacy, GDC Acquisition, LLC (“GDC”), SGDA Europe, Turf Products, LLC (“Turf”) and SGDA Sanierungsgesellschaft fur Deponien und Altasten GmbH (“SGDA”)) by a total of $50.5 million and the Valuation Committee determination not to increase the fair values of the Amersham loan, the BP second lien loan and the GDC senior subordinated loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately $732,000. As of October 31, 2010, the Company does not anticipate an incentive compensation payment being made to TTG Advisers for fiscal year 2010 based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate. Please see Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, “Incentive Compensation” for more information.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009

Operating expenses were $20.2 million or 4.88% of the Company’s average net assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Significant components of operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, included the management fee of $9.8 million, estimated provision for incentive compensation expense of approximately $3.7 million, and interest expense and other borrowing costs of $3.1 million. The estimated provision for incentive compensation expense is a non-cash, not yet payable, provisional expense relating to the Advisory Agreement.

The $7.7 million decrease in the Company’s operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, was primarily due to the $7.1 million decrease in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense and the $1.3 million decrease in interest and other borrowing costs which were offset by an increase of approximately $854,000 in the management fee expense. The Advisory Agreement extended the expense cap applicable to the Company for an additional two fiscal years (fiscal years 2009 and 2010) and increased the expense cap from 3.25% to 3.5%. For fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009, the Company’s expense ratio was 3.17% and 3.23 %, respectively, (taking into account the same exclusions as those applicable to the expense cap).

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the estimated provision for incentive compensation on the balance sheet was increased by a net amount of approximately $3.7 million to $19.5 million. The amount of the provision reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of eight of the Company’s portfolio investments: U.S. Gas, Tekers, Vestal, Vitality, Summit, MVC Automotive, Dakota Growers and Velocitius by a total of $79.0 million. The provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $5.8 million due to a PIK distribution, which was treated as a return of capital. The Company also received a return of capital distribution from Turf of approximately $286,000. The amount of the change in the provision for incentive compensation during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of 12 of the Company’s portfolio investments: Ohio Medical, Timberland Machines & Irrigation, Inc. (“Timberland”), Custom Alloy Corporation (“Custom Alloy”), PreVisor, Amersham, Turf, Harmony Pharmacy, BP, MVC Partners, SGDA, Security Holdings, and HuaMei by a total of $68.9 million.

Net realized losses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 were $26.4 million. The significant components of the Company’s net realized losses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 was primarily due to the loss on the sale of Harmony Pharmacy common stock, demand notes and revolving credit facility, the dissolution of Amersham, the dissolution of Sonexis and the sale of HuaMei common stock. A portion of these losses were offset by the gains on the sale of LHD Europe common stock, SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund, the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund, and distributions from the Octagon Fund.

On November 30, 2010, a public Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) sale of Harmony Pharmacy’s assets took place. Prior to this sale, the Company formed a new entity, Harmony Health & Beauty, Inc. (“HH&B”). The Company assigned its secured debt interest in Harmony Pharmacy of approximately $6.4 million to HH&B in exchange for a majority of the economic ownership. At the UCC sale, HH&B submitted a successful credit bid of approximately $5.9 million for all of the assets of Harmony Pharmacy. On December 21, 2010, Harmony Pharmacy filed for dissolution in the states of California, New Jersey and New York. As a result, the Company realized an $8.4 million loss on its investment in Harmony Pharmacy.

On December 1, 2010, Amersham filed for dissolution in the State of California as all operating divisions were sold in 2010. As a result, the Company realized a $6.5 million loss on its investment in Amersham.

Net realized gains for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 were $32.2 million. The significant components of the Company’s net realized gains for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 were primarily due to the gains on the sale of Vitality Foodservice, Inc.

On March 9, 2010, the Company received its first scheduled disbursement from the Vitality escrow totaling approximately $522,000. There were no claims against the escrow, so 100% of the expected proceeds of the first scheduled disbursement were released. At the same time, the Company received its portion of a working capital adjustment paid to Vitality. The Company’s share of the proceeds from the working capital adjustment totaled approximately $471,000 and was recorded as additional long-term capital gain.

(TSX: VT) (“Viterra”), Canada’s leading agri-business that provides premium quality ingredients to leading global food manufacturers, under which Dakota Growers would be acquired by a subsidiary of Viterra for approximately $240 million in cash. Under the terms of the agreement, Viterra would commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Dakota Growers’ common stock at a price of $18.28 per share resulting in anticipated proceeds of approximately $37.9 million. The acquisition closed shortly after completion of a tender of a majority (50.1%) of the outstanding shares of Dakota Growers common stock, the receipt of various regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions and contingencies. On May 3, 2010, the Company converted its 1,065,000 preferred shares of Dakota Growers to 1,065,000 common shares of Dakota Growers.

The amount received from the sale of the 10,476 common shares was approximately $2,900 and for the 6,443,188 preferred shares was approximately $2.9 million, which resulted in a realized loss of approximately $3.5 million, including proceeds held in escrow. As part of this transaction, there was approximately $465,205 deposited in an escrow account, subject to a reduction over an eighteen month period. This escrow is valued at approximately $180,000 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2010.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company sold the remaining 666,667 shares of Phoenix Coal Corporation (“Phoenix Coal”) common stock. The total amount received from the sale net of commission was approximately $295,000, resulting in a realized loss of approximately $205,000.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009

Net realized losses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 were $25.1 million. The significant components of the Company’s net realized losses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 were primarily the loss on the liquidation of Timberland common stock, senior subordinated loan, and junior revolving line of credit and the loss on the liquidation of Endymion Systems, Inc. common stock.

The Company realized losses on Timberland of approximately $18.1 million and Endymion Systems, Inc., a Legacy Investment, of $7.0 million. The Company received no proceeds from these companies and they have been removed from the Company’s portfolio. The Valuation Committee previously decreased the fair value of the Company’s investment in these companies to zero and as a result, the realized losses were offset by reductions in unrealized losses.

For the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of $35.7 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and a net change in unrealized depreciation of $21.7 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, an increase of $57.4 million.

The change in unrealized appreciation on investment transactions for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 primarily resulted from the increase in unrealized

appreciation reclassification from unrealized to realized, caused by the sales of Harmony Pharmacy and HuaMei and the dissolutions of Amersham and Sonexis of approximately $26.9 million. The other components in the change in unrealized appreciation are the Valuation Committee’s decision to increase the fair value of the Company’s investments in Summit common stock by $14.5 million, SHL Group Limited common stock by $4.9 million, Security Holdings equity interest by approximately $17.6 million, Total Safety first lien loan by approximately $74,000, U.S. Gas preferred stock by $2.5 million and Velocitius equity interest by $200,000.

The Valuation Committee also determined not to increase the fair values of the Amersham loan, BP second lien loan, and GDC senior subordinated loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately $732,000.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009

The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of $34.8 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

The net increase of $10.3 million in the fair values of the Company’s investments determined by the Valuation Committee including the decrease in the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy revolving credit facility, Timberland senior subordinated loan and the Amersham loan for accrued PIK was increased by the unrealized appreciation reclassification from unrealized to realized caused by the liquidation of Timberland and the sale of Endymion of $25.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from our credit facility and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments and income earned. Our primary use of funds includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our credit facility, proceeds generated from our portfolio investments and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance pursuit of our investment objective.

At October 31, 2011, the Company had investments in portfolio companies totaling $452.2 million. Also, at October 31, 2011, the Company had investments in cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $35.2 million. Of the $35.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $6.9 million was restricted cash related to the project guarantee for Security Holdings. The Company considers all money market and other cash investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. U.S. government securities and cash equivalents are highly liquid. Pending investments in portfolio companies pursuant to our principal investment strategy, the Company may make other short-term or temporary investments, including in exchange-traded funds and private investment funds offering significantly more liquidity than traditional portfolio company investments.

investments were sold during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, resulting in a realized gain of approximately $106,000. The investments in these exchange traded funds were intended to provide the Company with higher yielding investments than cash and cash equivalents while awaiting deployment into portfolio companies pursuant to the Company’s principal investment strategy. TTG Advisers had voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that are invested in exchange-traded funds would not be subject to the base management fee due to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement.

Current balance sheet resources, which include the additional cash resources from the Credit Facilities, are believed to be sufficient to finance current commitments. Current commitments include:

Commitments to/for Portfolio Companies

At October 31, 2011, the Company’s existing commitments to portfolio companies consisted of the following:

Commitments of MVC Capital, Inc.


Portfolio Company	Amount Committed		Amount Funded at October 31, 2011

MVC Automotive	$	8.2 million		—
MVC Automotive	$	5.5 million		—
Tekers	$	348,000		—

Total	$	14.0 million		—

ASC 460, Guarantees, requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the guarantee obligation at its inception and requires the Company to assess whether a probable loss contingency exists in accordance with the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies. At October 31, 2011 and 2010, the estimated fair values of the guarantee obligations noted above were $0.

These guarantees are further described below, together with the Company’s other commitments.

On June 30, 2005, the Company pledged its common stock of Ohio Medical to Guggenheim to collateralize a loan made by Guggenheim to Ohio Medical.

On October 12, 2006, the Company provided a $12.0 million revolving credit facility to Octagon in replacement of the senior secured credit facility provided on May 7, 2004. The credit facility bears annual interest at LIBOR plus 4.25%. The Company receives a 0.50% unused facility fee on an annual basis and a 0.25% servicing fee on an annual basis for maintaining the credit facility. On February 12, 2009, the commitment amount of the revolving credit facility was reduced to $7.0 million. At October 31, 2010, there was no balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility. On June 30, 2011, Octagon cancelled the commitment. As of October 31, 2011, the revolving credit facility was no longer a commitment of the Company.

On July 19, 2007, the Company agreed to guarantee a 1.4 million Euro mortgage for Tekers. The guarantee had a commitment of 251,155 euros at October 31, 2011, equivalent to approximately $348,000.

The Company has consistently reported the amount of the guarantee as 4.0 million Euro. The Company and MVC Automotive continues to view this amount as the full amount of our commitment. The Company has recently learned that Erste Bank, the bank extending the mortgage to MVC Automotive, believes, based on a different methodology, that the balance of the guarantee as of October 31, 2011 is approximately 6.9 million Euro (equivalent to approximately $9.6 million). The Company is working with Erste Bank to resolve the discrepancy.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides an amendment to ASC 820-10 which requires new disclosures on transfers in and out of Levels I and II and activity in Level III fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures such as 1.) level of disaggregation and 2.) disclosure about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level III fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance, the application of which has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company but has resulted in additional disclosures.

Tax Status and Capital Loss Carryforwards

As a RIC, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains for its taxable year (see Notes 12 and 13. “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”). This allows us to attract different kinds of investors than other publicly held corporations. The Company is also exempt from excise tax if it distributes at least 98% of its income and 98.2% of its capital gains during each calendar year. At October 31, 2010, the Company had no capital loss carryforwards. During fiscal year 2011, the Company had net realized losses of approximately $26.4 million and as a result, the Company had approximately $26.3 million in capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2011. The Company also has approximately $21.5 million in unrealized losses associated with Legacy Investments.

Valuation of Portfolio Securities

to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

Pursuant to our Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Committee (which is currently comprised of three Independent Directors) determines fair valuation of portfolio company investments on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances). Any changes in valuation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.” Currently, our NAV per share is calculated and published on a monthly basis. The fair values determined as of the most recent quarter end are reflected in that quarter’s NAV per share and in the next two months’ NAV per share calculation. (If the Valuation Committee determines to fair value an investment more frequently than quarterly, the most recently determined fair value would be reflected in the published NAV per share.) Fair values of foreign investments determined as of quarter end reflect exchange rates, as applicable, in effect on the last day of the quarter. Exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis, sometimes significantly. Exchange rate fluctuations following quarter end are not reflected in the valuations reported in this Annual Report. See Item 1A Risk Factors, “Investments in foreign debt or equity may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.”

At October 31, 2011, approximately 91.20% of our total assets represented portfolio investments and escrow receivables recorded at fair value.

securities. Such values also do not reflect brokers’ fees or other selling costs which might become payable on disposition of such investments.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure value.

If a security is publicly traded, the fair value is generally equal to market value based on the closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is primarily traded.

For equity securities of portfolio companies, the Valuation Committee estimates the fair value based on market approach with value then attributed to equity or equity like securities using the enterprise value waterfall (“Enterprise Value Waterfall”) valuation methodology. Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, the Valuation Committee estimates the enterprise fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfalls the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another. To assess the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Valuation Committee weighs some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing assets may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing assets, the Valuation Committee may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets. The Valuation Committee also takes into account historical and anticipated financial results.

For non-Control Companies, consistent with ASC 820, the Valuation Committee considers a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market in which it would sell investments in those companies.

remaining principal amount of the loan and all other debt securities of the company, the fair value of such securities is generally estimated to be their cost. However, where the enterprise value is less than the remaining principal amount of the loan and all other debt securities, the Valuation Committee may discount the value of such securities to reflect an impairment.

As permitted under GAAP, the Company’s interests in private investment funds (“Investment Vehicles”) are generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying Investment Vehicles, without adjustment, unless TTG Advisers is aware of information indicating that a value reported does not accurately reflect the value of the Investment Vehicle, including any information showing that the valuation has not been calculated in a manner consistent with GAAP. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such investments is recorded based on the Company’s proportionate share of the aggregate amount of appreciation (depreciation) recorded by each underlying Investment Vehicle. The Company’s proportionate share includes its share of interest and dividend income and expense, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities held by the underlying Investment Vehicles, net of operating expenses and fees. Realized gains and losses on withdrawals from Investment Vehicles are generally recognized on a first in, first out basis.

Investment Classification

We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that we are deemed to “Control.” “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are “Affiliated Companies” of us, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own 25% or more of the voting securities of such company or have greater than 50% representation on its board. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which we have invested if we own 5% or more and less than 25% of the voting securities of such company.

Investment Transactions and Related Operating Income

Investment transactions and related revenues and expenses are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). The cost of securities sold is determined on a first-in, first-out basis, unless otherwise specified. Dividend income and distributions on investment securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax characteristics of such distributions received from our portfolio companies will be determined by whether or not the distribution was made from the investment’s current taxable earnings and profits or accumulated taxable earnings and profits from prior years. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, if applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Fee income includes fees for guarantees and services rendered by the Company or its wholly-owned subsidiary to portfolio companies and other third parties such as due diligence, structuring, transaction services, monitoring services, and investment advisory services. Guaranty fees are recognized as income over the related period of the guaranty. Due diligence, structuring, and transaction services fees are generally recognized as income when services are rendered or when the related transactions are completed. Monitoring and investment advisory services fees are generally recognized as income as the services are rendered. Any fee income determined to be loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and then amortized into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as income and any unamortized original issue discount or market discount is recorded as a realized gain. For investments with PIK interest and dividends, we base income and dividend accrual on the valuation of the PIK notes or securities received from the borrower. If the portfolio company indicates a value of the PIK notes or securities that is not sufficient to cover the contractual interest or dividend, we will not accrue interest or dividend income on the notes or securities.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all money market and all highly liquid temporary cash investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent accounts that are not available to the Company for day to day use are classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Restricted Securities

The Company will invest in privately-placed restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and a prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes

It is the policy of the Company to meet the requirements for qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to income tax to the extent that it distributes all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains for its taxable year. The Company is also exempt from excise tax if it distributes at least 98% of its income and 98.2% of its capital gains during each calendar year.

Our consolidated operating subsidiary, MVCFS, is subject to federal and state income tax. We use the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal for the Company and MVCFS. The 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 federal tax years for the Company and MVCFS remain subject to examination by the IRS.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2011

1.	Organization and Business Purpose

MVC Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as meVC Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund I, Inc., is a Delaware corporation organized on December 2, 1999 which commenced operations on March 31, 2000. On December 2, 2002, the Company announced that it would begin doing business under the name MVC Capital, Inc. The Company’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return from capital appreciation and/or income. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing equity and debt financing to companies that are, for the most part, privately owned (“Portfolio Companies”). The Company’s current investments in Portfolio Companies consist principally of senior and subordinated loans, venture capital, mezzanine and preferred instruments and private equity investments.

The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The shares of the Company commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbol MVC on June 26, 2000.

The Company had entered into an advisory agreement with meVC Advisers, Inc. (the “Former Advisor”) which had entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Draper Fisher Jurvetson MeVC Management Co., LLC (the “Former Sub-Advisor”). On June 19, 2002, the Former Advisor resigned without prior notice to the Company as the Company’s investment advisor. This resignation resulted in the automatic termination of the agreement between the Former Advisor and the Former Sub-Advisor to the Company. As a result, the Company’s board internalized the Company’s operations, including management of the Company’s investments.

At the February 28, 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a new board of directors (the “Board”) replaced the former board of directors of the Company (the “Former Board”) in its entirety. On March 6, 2003, the results of the election were certified by the Inspector of Elections, whereupon the Board terminated John M. Grillos, the Company’s previous CEO. Shortly thereafter, other members of the Company’s senior management team, who had previously reported to Mr. Grillos, resigned. With these significant changes in the Board and management of the Company, the Company operated in a transition mode and, as a result, no portfolio investments were made from early March 2003 through the end of October 2003 (the end of the Fiscal Year). During this period, the Board explored various alternatives for a long-term management plan for the Company. Accordingly, at the September 16, 2003 Special Meeting of Shareholders, the Board voted and approved the Company’s revised business plan.

On November 6, 2003, Michael Tokarz assumed his position as Chairman, Portfolio Manager and Director of the Company.

On March 29, 2004 at the Annual Shareholders meeting, the shareholders approved the election of Emilio Dominianni, Robert S. Everett, Gerald Hellerman, Robert C. Knapp and Michael Tokarz to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Company and adopted an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the changing of the name of the Company from “meVC Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund I, Inc.” to “MVC Capital, Inc.”

On July 7, 2004, the Company’s name change from “meVC Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund I, Inc.” to “MVC Capital, Inc.” became effective.

On July 16, 2004, the Company commenced the operations of MVC Financial Services, Inc. (“MVCFS”). MVCFS is incorporated in Delaware and its principal purpose is to provide advisory, administrative and other

services to the Company and the Company’s portfolio companies. The Company does not hold MVCFS for investment purposes and does not intend to sell MVCFS. On October 14, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVC Cayman, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, to hold certain of its investments.

On September 7, 2006, the stockholders of MVC Capital approved the adoption of the investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement, which was entered into on October 31, 2006, provides for external management of the Company by TTG Advisers, which is led by Michael Tokarz. The agreement took effect on November 1, 2006. Upon the effectiveness of the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Tokarz’s employment agreement with the Company terminated. All of the individuals (including the Company’s investment professionals) that had been previously employed by the Company as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 became employees of TTG Advisers.

On December 11, 2008, our Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act, of the Company (the “Independent Directors”), at their in-person meeting approved an amended and restated investment advisory and management agreement (also, the “Advisory Agreement”), which was approved by stockholders of the Company on April 14, 2009. The renewal of the Advisory Agreement was last approved by the Independent Directors at their in-person meeting held on October 25, 2011.

2.	Consolidation

On July 16, 2004, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary company, MVCFS. On October 14, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVC Cayman, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, to hold certain of its investments.

The results of MVCFS are consolidated into the Company and all inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. When operational, the results of MVC Cayman will also be consolidated into the Company.

3.	Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides an amendment to ASC 820-10 which requires new disclosures on transfers in and out of Levels I and II and activity in Level III fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures such as 1.) level of disaggregation and 2.) disclosure about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level III fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance, the application of which has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company but has resulted in additional disclosures.

Valuation of Portfolio Securities — ASC 820 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act and in accordance with ASC 820, we value our portfolio securities at their current market values or, if market quotations are not readily available, at their estimates of fair values. Because our portfolio company investments generally do not have readily ascertainable market values, we record these investments at fair value in accordance with our Valuation Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors which are consistent with ASC 820. As permitted by the SEC, the Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee, subject to the Board of Directors’ supervision and pursuant to our Valuation Procedures. Our Board of Directors may also hire independent consultants to review our Valuation Procedures or to conduct an independent valuation of one or more of our portfolio investments.

Pursuant to our Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Committee (which is currently comprised of three Independent Directors) determines fair valuation of portfolio company investments on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances). Any changes in valuation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.” Currently, our NAV per share is calculated and published on a monthly basis. The fair values determined as of the most recent quarter end are reflected in that quarter’s NAV per share and in the next two months’ NAV per share calculation. (If the Valuation Committee determines to fair value an investment more frequently than quarterly, the most recently determined fair value would be reflected in the published NAV per share.) Fair values of foreign investments determined as of quarter end reflect exchange rates, as applicable, in effect on the last day of the quarter. Exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis, sometimes significantly. Exchange rate fluctuations following quarter end are not reflected in the valuations reported as of quarter end.

At October 31, 2011, approximately 91.20% of our total assets represented portfolio investments and escrow receivables recorded at fair value.

The fair value of our portfolio securities is inherently subjective. Because of the inherent uncertainty of fair valuation of portfolio securities that do not have readily ascertainable market values, our estimate of fair value may significantly differ from the fair value that would have been used had a ready market existed for the securities. Such values also do not reflect brokers’ fees or other selling costs which might become payable on disposition of such investments.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure value.

If a security is publicly traded, the fair value is generally equal to market value based on the closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is primarily traded.

of the portfolio company as of the measurement date. In evaluating if the Company can control or gain control of

a portfolio company as of the measurement date, the Company takes into account its equity securities on a fully diluted basis as well as other factors.

For non-Control Companies, consistent with ASC 820, the Valuation Committee considers a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market in which it would sell investments in those companies.

As permitted under GAAP, the Company’s interests in private investment funds (“Investment Vehicles”) are generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying Investment Vehicles, without adjustment, unless TTG Advisers is aware of information indicating that a value reported does not accurately reflect the value of the Investment Vehicle, including any information showing that the valuation has not been calculated in a manner consistent with GAAP. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such investments is recorded based on the Company’s proportionate share of the aggregate amount of appreciation (depreciation) recorded by each underlying Investment Vehicle. The Company’s proportionate share includes its share of interest and dividend income and expense, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities held by the underlying Investment Vehicles, net of operating expenses and fees. Realized gains and losses on withdrawals from Investment Vehicles are generally recognized on a first in, first out basis.

that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not ascribe value to payment-in-kind interest/dividends if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the payment-in-kind interest is not collectible. However, the Company may ascribe value to payment-in-kind interest if the health of the portfolio company and the underlying securities are not in question. All payment-in-kind interest that has been added to the principal balance or capitalized is subject to ratification by the Valuation Committee.

Investment Classification — We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that we are deemed to “Control”. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are “Affiliated Companies” of us, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under that 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own 25% or more of the voting securities of such company or have greater than 50% representation on its board. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which we have invested if we own 5% or more and less than 25% of the voting securities of such company.

Investment Transactions and Related Operating Income — Investment transactions and related revenues and expenses are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined on a first-in, first-out basis, unless otherwise specified. Dividend income and distributions on investment securities is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax characteristics of such distributions received from our portfolio companies will be determined by whether or not the distribution was made from the investment’s current taxable earnings and profits or accumulated taxable earnings and profits from prior years. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, if applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Fee income includes fees for guarantees and services rendered by the Company or its wholly-owned subsidiary to portfolio companies and other third parties such as due diligence, structuring, transaction services, monitoring services, and investment advisory services. Guaranty fees are recognized as income over the related period of the guaranty. Due diligence, structuring, and transaction services fees are generally recognized as income when services are rendered or when the related transactions are completed. Monitoring and investment advisory services fees are generally recognized as income as the services are rendered. Any fee income determined to be loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and then amortized into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as income and any unamortized original issue discount or market discount is recorded as a realized gain. For investments with PIK interest and dividends, we base income and dividend accrual on the valuation of the PIK notes or securities received from the borrower. If the portfolio company indicates a value of the PIK notes or securities that is not sufficient to cover the contractual interest or dividend, we will not accrue interest or dividend income on the notes or securities.

Cash Equivalents — For the purpose of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all money market and all highly liquid temporary cash investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalent accounts that are not available to the Company for day to day use are classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Restricted Securities — The Company will invest in privately placed restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and a prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes — It is the policy of the Company to meet the requirements for qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company is not subject to income tax to the extent that it distributes all of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains for its taxable year. The Company is also exempt from excise tax if it distributes most of its ordinary income and/or capital gains during each calendar year.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal for the Company and MVCFS. The 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 federal tax years for the Company and the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 federal tax years for MVCFS remain subject to examination by the IRS.

4.	Management

On November 6, 2003, Michael Tokarz assumed his positions as Chairman, Portfolio Manager and Director of the Company. From November 6, 2003 to October 31, 2006, the Company was internally managed. Effective November 1, 2006, Mr. Tokarz’s employment agreement with the Company terminated and the obligations under Mr. Tokarz’s agreement were superseded by those under the Advisory Agreement entered into with TTG Advisers. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays TTG Advisers a base management fee and an incentive fee for its provision of investment advisory and management services.

Our Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act, of the Company (the “Independent Directors”), last approved a renewal of the Advisory Agreement at their in-person meeting held on October 25, 2011.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, TTG Advisers determines, consistent with the Company’s investment strategy, the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the Company’s portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes. TTG Advisers also identifies and negotiates the structure of the Company’s investments (including performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies), closes and monitors the Company’s investments, determines the securities and other assets purchased, retains or sells and oversees the administration, recordkeeping and compliance functions of the Company and/or third parties performing such functions for the Company. TTG Advisers’ services under the Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it may furnish similar services to other entities. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay TTG Advisers a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is calculated at 2.0% per annum of the Company’s total assets excluding cash, the value of any investment in a Third-Party Vehicle covered by a Separate Agreement (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) and the value of any investment by the Company not made in portfolio companies (“Non-Eligible Assets”) but

including assets purchased with borrowed funds that are not Non-Eligible Assets. The incentive fee consists of two parts: (i) one part is based on our pre-incentive fee net operating income; and (ii) the other part is based on the capital gains realized on our portfolio of securities acquired after November 1, 2003. The Advisory Agreement provides for an expense cap pursuant to which TTG Advisers will absorb or reimburse operating expenses of the Company, to the extent necessary to limit the Company’s expense ratio (the consolidated expenses of the Company, including any amounts payable to TTG Advisers under the base management fee, but excluding the amount of any interest and other direct borrowing costs, taxes, incentive compensation and extraordinary expenses taken as a percentage of the Company’s average net assets) to 3.5% in each of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. For more information, please see Note 5. On October 25, 2011, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% to the 2012 fiscal year. In addition, for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, TTG Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive $150,000 of expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse to TTGA Advisers under the Advisory Agreement (the “Voluntary Waiver”).

5.	Incentive Compensation

Effective November 1, 2006, Mr. Tokarz’s employment agreement with the Company terminated and the obligations under Mr. Tokarz’s agreement were superseded by those under the Advisory Agreement entered into with TTG Advisers. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays an incentive fee to TTG Advisers which is generally: (i) 20% of pre-incentive fee net operating income and (ii) 20% of cumulative aggregate net realized capital gains less aggregate unrealized depreciation (on our portfolio securities acquired after November 1, 2003). TTG Advisers is entitled to an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net operating income in each fiscal quarter as follows: no incentive fee in any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net operating income does not exceed the lower hurdle rate of 1.75% of net assets, 100% of our pre-incentive fee net operating income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net operating income, if any, that exceeds the lower hurdle amount but is less than 2.1875% of net assets in any fiscal quarter and 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net operating income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% of net assets in any fiscal quarter. Under the Advisory Agreement, the accrual of the provision for incentive compensation for net realized capital gains is consistent with the accrual that was required under the employment agreement with Mr. Tokarz.

At October 31, 2008, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately $15.8 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, this provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net amount of approximately $3.7 million to $19.5 million. The amount of the provision reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of eight of the Company’s portfolio investments: U.S. Gas, Tekers, Vestal, Vitality, Summit, MVC Automotive, Dakota Growers and Velocitius by a total of $79.0 million. The provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $5.8 million due to a PIK distribution which was treated as a return of capital. The Company also received a return of capital distribution from Turf of approximately $286,000. The net increase in the provision for incentive compensation during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 was a result of the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of 12 of the Company’s portfolio investments (Ohio Medical, Timberland, Custom Alloy, PreVisor, Amersham, Turf Products, LLC (“Turf”), Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center, Inc. (“Harmony Pharmacy”), BP, MVC Partners, SGDA, Security Holdings B.V. (“Security Holdings”), and HuaMei Capital Company, Inc. (“HuaMei”)) by a total of $68.9 million. The Valuation Committee also determined not to increase the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy revolving credit facility, Timberland senior subordinated loan and the Amersham loan for the accrued PIK totaling $1.0 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate.

At October 31, 2009, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately $19.5 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, this provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net

amount of approximately $2.5 million to $22.0 million. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation reflects both increases and decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair values of certain portfolio companies and the sale of Vitality for a realized gain of $13.9 million. The difference between the amount received from the sale and Vitality’s carrying value at October 31, 2009 was an increase of $3.0 million. The amount of the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of eight of the Company’s portfolio investments (Octagon, Summit, Velocitius, LHD Europe, PreVisor, U.S. Gas, Vestal and Dakota Growers) by a total of $54.2 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $6.8 million due to PIK distributions, which were treated as a return of capital. The net increase in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of ten of the Company’s portfolio investments (Amersham, BP, Ohio Medical, MVC Automotive, Security Holdings, Harmony Pharmacy, GDC, SGDA Europe, Turf and SGDA) by a total of $50.5 million and the Valuation Committee determination not to increase the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy revolving credit facility, the Amersham loan, the BP second lien loan and the GDC senior subordinated loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately $656,000. As of October 31, 2010, the Company does not anticipate an incentive compensation payment being made to TTG Advisers for fiscal year 2010 because 20% of cumulative aggregate net realized capital gains was than less than the aggregate unrealized depreciation (on our portfolio securities acquired after November 1, 2003) based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate.

At October 31, 2010, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately $22.0 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, this provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net amount of approximately $1.9 million to approximately $23.9 million. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 reflects both increases and decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair values of certain portfolio companies. The provision also reflects the sale of the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund and the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund for a realized gain of approximately $106,000, a realized gain of approximately $55,000 from the Octagon Fund, a realized gain of approximately 317,000 from LHD Europe and a realized loss from the sale of HuaMei of $2.0 million. Specifically, it reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of six of the Company’s portfolio investments (Summit, SHL Group Limited, Security Holdings, Total Safety, U.S. Gas, and Velocitius) by a total of approximately $39.7 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $1.9 million due to PIK distributions, which were treated as a return of capital. The net increase in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of eleven of the Company’s portfolio investments (BP, Ohio Medical common and preferred stock, MVC Automotive, HuaMei, Tekers, Octagon Fund, NPWT, SGDA Europe, Vestal and HH&B) by a total of $32.1 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate.

6.	Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

As a RIC, the Company is required to distribute to its shareholders, in a timely manner, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and tax-exempt income each year. If the Company distributes, in a calendar year, at least 98% of its income and 98.2% of its capital gains of such calendar year (as well as any portion of the respective 2% balances not distributed in the previous year), it will not be subject to the 4% non-deductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income of RICs.

the Company either in the form of a cash distribution or a stock dividend. The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by the Company, differing treatments of expenses paid by the Company, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Company. Key examples of the primary differences in expenses paid are the accounting treatment of MVCFS (which is consolidated for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) purposes, but not income tax purposes) and the variation in treatment of incentive compensation expense. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications and may affect the allocation between net operating income, net realized gain (loss) and paid-in capital.

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2011

For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2010

7.	Transactions with Other Parties

The Company has procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and certain persons related to the Company. For example, the Company has a code of ethics that generally prohibits, among others, any officer or director of the Company from engaging in any transaction where there is a conflict between such individual’s personal interest and the interests of the Company. As a business development company, the 1940 Act also imposes regulatory restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain related-party transactions. However, the Company is permitted to co-invest in certain portfolio companies with its affiliates to the extent consistent with applicable law or regulation and, if necessary, subject to specified conditions set forth in an exemptive order obtained from the SEC. During the past four fiscal years, no transactions were effected pursuant to the exemptive order. As a matter of policy, our Board of Directors has required that any related-party transaction (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must be subject to the advance consideration and approval of the Independent Directors, in accordance with applicable procedures set forth in Section 57(f) of the 1940 Act.

The principal equity owner of TTG Advisers is Mr. Tokarz, our Chairman. Our senior officers and Mr. Holtsberg, a Director of the Company, have other financial interests in TTG Advisers (i.e., based on TTG Advisers’ performance). In addition, our officers and the officers and employees of TTG Advisers may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or related line of business as we do or of investment funds managed by TTG Advisers or our affiliates. However, TTG Advisers intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner. Our Board of Directors has approved a specific policy in this regard which is set forth in this Form 10-K.

8.	Concentration of Market and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subjected the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments, subordinated notes, and debt instruments (other than cash equivalents), which represented

approximately 90.97% of the Company’s total assets at October 31, 2011. As discussed in Note 9, these investments consist of securities in companies with no readily determinable market values and as such are valued in accordance with the Company’s fair value policies and procedures. The Company’s investment strategy represents a high degree of business and financial risk due to the fact that the investments (other than cash equivalents) are generally illiquid, in small and middle market companies, and include entities with little operating history or entities that possess operations in new or developing industries. These investments, should they become publicly traded, would generally be (i) subject to restrictions on resale, if they were acquired from the issuer in private placement transactions; and (ii) susceptible to market risk. Additionally, we are classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of portfolio companies in a limited number of industries. At this time, the Company’s investments in short-term securities are in 90-day Treasury Bills, which are federally guaranteed securities, or other high quality, highly liquid investments. The Company’s cash balances, if not large enough to be invested in 90-day Treasury Bills or other high quality, highly liquid investments, are swept into designated money market accounts or other interest bearing accounts.

9.	Portfolio Investments

Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act and ASC 820, we value our portfolio securities at their current market values or, if market quotations are not readily available, at their estimates of fair values. Because our portfolio company investments generally do not have readily ascertainable market values, we record these investments at fair value in accordance with Valuation Procedures adopted by our Board of Directors. As permitted by the SEC, the Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee, subject to the Board of Directors’ supervision and pursuant to our Valuation Procedures.

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

•

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We use Level 1 inputs for investments in publicly traded unrestricted securities for which we do not have a controlling interest. Such investments are valued at the closing price on the measurement date. We did not value any of our investments using Level 1 inputs as of October 31, 2011.

•

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Additionally, the Company’s interests in Investment Vehicles that can be withdrawn by the Company at the net asst value reported by such Investment Vehicle as of the measurement date, or within six months of the measurement date, are generally categorized as Level 2 investments. We valued one of our investments using Level 2 inputs as of October 31, 2011.

•

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. Additionally, included in Level 3 are the Company’s interests in Investment Vehicles from which the Company cannot withdraw at the net asset value reported by such Investment Vehicles as of the measurement date, or within six months of the measurement date. We use Level 3 inputs for measuring the fair value of substantially all of our investments. See Note 3 for the investment valuation policies used to determine the fair value of these investments.

The following fair value hierarchy table sets forth our investment portfolio by level as of October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 (in thousands):
