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 12, 2011, BP Clothing, LLC (“BP”) filed for Chapter 11 protection in New York with agreement to turn ownership over to secured lenders under a bankruptcy reorganization plan. On June 20, 2012, BP completed the bankruptcy process which resulted in a realized loss of approximately $23.4 million on the second lien loan, term loan A and term loan B. As a result of the bankruptcy process, the Company received limited liability company interest in BPC II, LLC (“BPC”).

On January 11, 2011, SHL Group Limited acquired the Company’s portfolio company PreVisor. The Company received 1,518,762 common shares of SHL Group Limited for its investment in PreVisor. The cost basis and market value of the Company’s investment remained unchanged as a result of the transaction.

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the Company recorded approximately $6,036 of amortization.

MVC Capital, Inc. (the “Company”)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2012

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to adjust to current period presentations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2011, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 12, 2012.

2. Consolidation

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, the Company’s portfolio companies and other entities. MVCFS had opening equity of $1 (100 shares at $0.01 per share). 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 and to make certain future investments. The results of MVCFS and MVC Cayman are consolidated into the Company and all inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

MVC GP II, LLC (“MVC GP II”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, serves as the general partner to the MVC Private Equity Fund, L.P. (“PE Fund”). MVC GP II is wholly-owned by MVCFS, a subsidiary of the Company. The results of MVC GP II are consolidated into MVCFS and ultimately the Company. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 810, Consolidation of Partnerships and Similar Entities Subtopic, the Company is not required to consolidate MVC GP II’s general partnership interest in the PE Fund. As a result, MVC GP II’s general partnership interest in the PE Fund is shown as an investment on the Company’s books.

3. Investment Classification

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), 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.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

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.

5. Investment Valuation Policy

Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and Accounting Standards Codification , Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). 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 July 31, 2012, 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. In determining fair value, the Valuation Committee primarily uses the level 3 inputs referenced in ASC 820.

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 to which the reporting entity has access to 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.

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 requires entities to change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles “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. The adoption of this new guidance has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company and has resulted in additional disclosures. Please see Note 7 “Portfolio Investments.”

Valuation Methodology

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 comprised of three Independent Directors) determines fair values 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 quarterly basis. 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. Fair values of foreign investments determined as of quarter end reflect exchange rates, as applicable, in effect on the last business day of the quarter. Exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis, sometimes significantly. Exchange rate fluctuations following the most recent quarter end are not reflected in the valuations reported in this Quarterly Report. See Item 3 Risk Factor, “Investments in foreign debt or equity may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.”

At July 31, 2012, approximately 91.72% of our total assets represented portfolio investments and escrow receivables recorded at fair value.

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.

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, third-party real estate and asset appraisals if appropriate and available, 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 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.

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 and/or income 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, and third-party asset and real estate appraisals. 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 general partner (the “GP”) of the PE Fund, the Valuation Committee relies on the GP’s determination of the Fair Value of the PE Fund which will be generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the GP, which will be made: (i) no less frequently than quarterly as of the Company’s fiscal quarter end and (ii) with respect to the valuation of PE Fund investments in portfolio companies, will be based on methodologies consistent with those set forth in the valuation procedures. The determination of the net asset value of the Company’s or its subsidiary’s investment in the PE Fund will follow the methodologies described for valuing interests in private investment funds (“Investment Vehicles”) described below. 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 are generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by management of the underlying Investment Vehicles, without adjustment, unless The Tokarz Group Advisers LLC (“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 investment interest 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 fair value.

If the Company intends to sell all or a portion of its interest in an Investment Vehicle to a third-party in a privately negotiated transaction, the Company will consider offers from third parties to buy the interest in an Investment Vehicle in valuations which may be discounted for both probability of close and time.

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, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount on a yield to maturity methodology, 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. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis on the ex-dividend date to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.

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 approval of 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.

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. The Valuation Committee typically will look at the pricing of the security in which the guarantee provided support for the security and compare it to the price of a similar or hypothetical security without guarantee support. The difference in pricing will be discounted for time and risk over the period in which the guarantee is expected to remain outstanding.

6. Concentration of Market Risk

Financial instruments that subjected the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments, subordinated notes, debt instruments and escrow receivables (other than cash equivalents), which collectively represented approximately 91.72% of the Company’s total assets at July 31, 2012. As discussed in Note 7, 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 Company’s portfolio 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, which gives rise to a risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of one or more portfolio companies deteriorate. 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 considers all money market and other cash investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. 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.

7. 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 July 31, 2012.

•

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 asset 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 did not value any of our investments using Level 2 inputs as of July 31, 2012.

•

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 5 for the investment valuation policies used to determine the fair value of these investments.

As noted above, the interests in Investment Vehicles are included in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In determining the appropriate level, the Company considers the length of time until the investment is redeemable, including notice and lock-up periods and any other restriction on the disposition of the investment. The Company also considers the nature of the portfolios of the underlying Investment Vehicles and such vehicles’ ability to liquidate their investment.

In accordance with ASU 2011-04, the following table summarizes information about the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of July 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Notes:

(a)	Calculated based on fair values.

(b)	Certain investments are priced using non-binding broker or dealer quotes.

(c)	Certain common and preferred stock investments are fair valued based on liquidation-out preferential rights held by the Company.

(d)	Real estate appraisals are performed by independent third parties and the Company does not have reasonable access to the underlying unobservable inputs.

*	The above table excludes certain investments whose fair value is zero due to certain specific situations at the portfolio company level.

Following are descriptions of the sensitivity of the Level 3 recurring fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs presented in the above table. For securities utilizing the income approach valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, risk premium or discount for lack of marketability would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The discount for lack of marketability used to determine fair value may include other factors such as liquidity or credit risk. Generally, a change in the discount rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the risk premium and discount for lack of marketability. For securities utilizing the market approach valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the EBITDA, revenue multiple or other key unobservable inputs listed in the above table would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount for lack of marketability would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The discount for lack of marketability used to determine fair value may include

other factors such as liquidity or credit risk. For securities utilizing an adjusted net asset approach valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the price to book value ratio, discount rate or other key unobservable inputs listed in the above table would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassifications occur.

Guarantee	Amount Committed		Amount Funded at July 31, 2012
MVC Automotive	$	4.9 million		—
Tekers	$	215,000		—
Ohio Medical	$	20.5 million		—

Total	$	25.6 million		—

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 July 19, 2007, the Company agreed to guarantee a 1.4 million Euro mortgage for Tekers. The guarantee had a commitment of approximately 175,000 euros at July 31, 2012, equivalent to approximately $215,000.

On January 15, 2008, the Company agreed to guarantee a 6.5 million Euro mortgage for MVC Automotive. The guarantee had a commitment of approximately 5.9 million euros at October 31, 2011, equivalent to approximately $8.2 million. On July 31, 2012, the mortgage that was guaranteed was repaid by MVC Automotive, resulting in the release of the guarantee. As of July 31, 2012, the guarantee was no longer a commitment of the Company.

On January 16, 2008, the Company agreed to support a 4.0 million Euro mortgage for a Ford dealership owned and operated by MVC Automotive (equivalent to approximately $4.9 million at July 31, 2012) through making financing available to the dealership and agreeing under certain circumstances not to reduce its equity stake in MVC Automotive. The Company has consistently reported the amount of the guarantee as 4.0 million Euro. The Company and MVC Automotive continue to view this amount as the full amount of our commitment. Erste Bank, the bank extending the mortgage to MVC Automotive, believes, based on a different methodology, that the balance of the guarantee as of July 31, 2012 is approximately 6.9 million Euro (equivalent to approximately $8.4 million). The Company and MVC Automotive are working to resolve this discrepancy.

On July 31, 2008, the Company extended a $1.0 million loan to Turf in the form of a secured junior revolving note. The note bears annual interest at 6.0% and expires on January 31, 2014. On July 31, 2008, Turf borrowed $1.0 million from the secured junior revolving note. At October 31, 2011 and July 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of the secured junior revolving note was $1.0 million.

On March 31, 2010, the Company pledged its Series I and Series J preferred stock of U.S. Gas to Macquarie Energy, LLC (“Macquarie Energy”) as collateral for Macquarie Energy’s trade supply credit facility to U.S. Gas.

On October 29, 2010, through MVC Partners and MVCFS, the Company committed to invest approximately $20.1 million in the PE Fund, for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as GP. The PE Fund closed on approximately $104 million of capital commitments. As of July 31, 2012, $8.2 million of the Company’s commitment was contributed.

On April 26, 2011, the Company agreed to collateralize a 5.0 million Euro letter of credit from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which is classified as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. This letter of credit is being used as collateral for a project guarantee by AB DnB NORD bankas to Security Holdings.

On November 30, 2011, as part of Ohio Medical’s refinancing of their debt, the Company agreed to guarantee a series B preferred stock tranche of equity, with a 12% coupon for the first 18 months it is outstanding. After that initial period, the rate increases by 400bps to 16% for the next 6 months and increases by 50 bps (.5%) each 6 month period thereafter. As of July 31, 2012, the amount guaranteed was approximately $20.5 million and the guarantee obligation was fair valued at $700,000 by the Valuation Committee.

Commitments of the Company

Effective November 1, 2006, under the terms of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with TTG Advisers, which has since been amended and restated (the “Advisory Agreement”) and described in Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements, “Management”, TTG Advisers is responsible for providing office space to the Company and for the costs associated with providing such office space. The Company’s offices continue to be located on the second floor of 287 Bowman Avenue, Purchase, New York 10577.

On April 27, 2006, the Company and MVCFS, as co-borrowers, entered into a four-year, $100 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of $50.0 million in term debt and $50.0 million in revolving credit, with Guggenheim as administrative agent for the lenders. On April 13, 2010, the Company renewed the Credit Facility for three years. The Credit Facility now only consists of a $50.0 million term loan, which will expire on April 27, 2013, at which time the outstanding amount under the Credit Facility will be due and payable. As of July 31, 2012, there was $50.0 million outstanding on the Credit Facility. The proceeds from borrowings made under the Credit Facility are used to fund new and existing portfolio investments and for general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a floating rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate with a 1.25% LIBOR floor (for one, two, three or six months), plus a spread of 4.5% per annum, or (ii) the Prime rate in effect from time to time, plus a spread of 3.50% per annum. The Company paid a closing fee, legal and other costs associated with obtaining and renewing the Credit Facility. These costs are being amortized evenly over the life of the facility. The prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet include the unamortized portion of these costs. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured, by among other things, cash, cash equivalents, debt investments, accounts receivable, equipment, instruments, general intangibles, the capital stock of MVCFS, and any proceeds from all the aforementioned items, as well as all other property except for equity investments made by the Company. The Credit Facility includes standard financial covenants including limitations on total assets to debt, debt to equity, interest coverage and eligible debt ratios.

At July 31, 2012, the carrying amount of our Credit Facility approximates the fair value of our Credit Facility, which was $50.0 million. The fair value of our debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of our Credit Facility is estimated based upon market interest rates for our own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any.

The Company enters into contracts with portfolio companies and other parties that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss related to indemnifications to be remote.

9. 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 and 2010 fiscal years. For more information, please see Note 10.

On October 26, 2010 and October 25, 2011, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expense cap of 3.5% to the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively (“Expense Limitation Agreement”). The amount of any payments made by the GP of the PE Fund to TTG Advisers pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement between the GP and TTG Advisers respecting the PE Fund will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s expense ratio under the Expense Limitation Agreement. In addition, for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, TTG Advisers has 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”). TTG Advisers has also voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that are invested in exchange-traded funds or the Octagon Fund would not be taken into account in the calculation of the base management fee due to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement.

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 additional investments that represent more than 5% of its total assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer (“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 and other fees paid by the PE Fund and its portfolio companies 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 generated by the PE Fund and its portfolio companies and a portion of any carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Given this separate arrangement with the GP and the PE Fund (the “PM Agreement”), 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.

Management and portfolio fees (e.g., closing or monitoring fees) generated by the PE Fund (including its portfolio companies) that are paid to the GP are classified on the consolidated statements of operations as Management fee income—Asset Management and Portfolio fee income—Asset Management, respectively. The portion of such fees that the GP pays to TTG Advisers (in accordance with its PM Agreement described above) are classified on the consolidated statements of operations as Management fee—Asset Management and Portfolio fees—Asset Management. Under the PE Fund’s agreements, a significant portion of the portfolio fees that are paid by the PE Fund’s portfolio companies to the GP and TTG Advisers is subject to recoupment by the PE Fund in the form of an offset to future management fees paid by the PE Fund.

10. Incentive Compensation

At October 31, 2011, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately $23.9 million. During the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, this provision for incentive compensation was decreased by a net amount of approximately $6.8 million to approximately $17.1 million. The net decrease in the provision for incentive compensation during the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of eleven of the Company’s portfolio investments (BP, HH&B, MVC Automotive, Security Holdings, SGDA Europe, NPWT, Tekers, Velocitius, BPC, Turf and Ohio Medical) by a total of $25.8 million and the dividend distribution

of $12.0 million received from Summit. The net decrease in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of three of the Company’s portfolio investments (Octagon Fund, Vestal and RuMe) by a total of approximately $3.0 million and the escrow receivable related to Vitality by $130,000. For the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, a provision of approximately $2.3 million was recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income exceeded the hurdle rate for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. TTG Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive the income-related incentive fee payment of approximately $2.3 million that the Company would otherwise be obligated to pay to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement.

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.

11. Tax Matters

At October 31, 2011, the Company had a net capital loss carryforward of $26,263,731, all of which will expire in the year 2019. To the extent future capital gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains need not be distributed. The Company had approximately $19.5 million in unrealized losses associated with Legacy Investments as of July 31, 2012.

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 nine month period ended July 31, 2012, 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 for MVCFS remain subject to examination by the IRS.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

12. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Share Repurchase Program

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 ordinary income for such calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the 12-month period ending on October 31 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.

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 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 Computershare Ltd. (“the Plan Agent”) in 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.

For the Quarter Ended January 31, 2012

On December 16, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend was payable on January 6, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 30, 2011. The total distribution amounted to $2,870,038.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2012, as part of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders, the Plan Agent purchased 1,108 shares of our common stock at an average price of $11.98, including commission, in the open market in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of our dividends under the Plan.

For the Quarter Ended April 30, 2012

On April 13, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend was payable on April 30, 2012 to shareholders of record on April 23, 2012. The total distribution amounted to $2,870,038.

During the quarter ended April 30, 2012, as part of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders, the Plan Agent purchased 648 shares of our common stock at an average price of $12.95, including commission, in the open market in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of our dividends under the Plan.

For the Quarter Ended July 31, 2012

On July 13, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend was payable on July 31, 2012 to shareholders of record on July 24, 2012. The total distribution amounted to $2,870,038.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, as part of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders, the Plan Agent purchased 671 shares of our common stock at an average price of $12.55, including commission, in the open market in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of our dividends under the Plan.

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. The share repurchase program was substantially completed during the quarter ended April 30, 2011. 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 July 31, 2012. Implementation of the program as well as the timing thereof depends on a variety of factors, including the availability of capital, the Company’s current share price and the ability to conduct the offer under the Credit Facility.

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 investment professionals (who, effective November 1, 2006, provide their services to the Company through the Company’s investment adviser, TTG Advisers) 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 year ended October 31, 2011, the Company made six new investments and made seven follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies committing a total of $43.2 million of capital to these investments. During the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the Company made two new investments and seven follow-on investments in three existing portfolio companies, committing capital totaling $10.8 million.

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 July 31, 2012, 2.32% 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 new portfolio investments are made pursuant to our current 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 the asset growth and composition of the portfolio, 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 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 for this purpose. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has authorized the establishment of the PE Fund, for which

an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the GP. 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 and other fees paid by the PE Fund and its portfolio companies 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 and its portfolio companies. 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.

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.

Furthermore, pending investments in portfolio companies pursuant to the Company’s principal investment strategy, the Company may invest in certain securities on a short-term or temporary basis. In addition to cash-equivalents and other money market-type investments, such short-term investments may include exchange-traded funds and private investment funds offering periodic liquidity.

OPERATING INCOME

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. Total operating income was $23.7 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 and $12.6 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $11.1 million.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012

Total operating income was $23.7 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012. The increase in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to an increase in dividend income offset by a decrease in fees from portfolio companies and other income. The main components of operating income for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, was dividend income from portfolio companies and the interest earned on loans. The Company earned approximately $20.1 million in interest and dividend income from investments in portfolio companies, of which $12.0 million was a non-recurring dividend. Of the $20.1 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately $2.3 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 6% to 14%, excluding those investments which interest is being reserved against. The Company also received fee income from asset management of the PE Fund and its portfolio companies totaling approximately $2.0 million and fee income from portfolio companies of approximately $1.4 million, totaling approximately $3.4 million. Of the $2.0 million of fee income from asset management, 75% of the income is obligated to be paid to TTG Advisers. However, under the PE Fund’s agreements, a significant portion of the portfolio fees that are paid by the PE Fund’s portfolio companies to the GP and TTG Advisers is subject to recoupment by the PE Fund in the form of an offset to future management fees paid by the PE Fund.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2011

Total operating income was $12.6 million for the nine month period ended July 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 $8.6 million in interest and dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the $8.6 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately $2.4 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 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 $4.0 million.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. Operating expenses, net of Voluntary Waivers, were approximately $6.2 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 and $10.8 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $4.6 million.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012

Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waivers (as described below), were approximately $6.2 million or 2.01% of the Company’s average net assets, when annualized, for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012. Significant components of operating expenses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 were management fee expense of totaling approximately $7.2 million, which includes management fees related to the Company and the PE Fund, and interest and other borrowing costs of approximately $2.5 million.

The $4.6 million decrease in the Company’s net operating expenses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 compared to the nine month period ended July 31, 2011, was primarily due to the $3.0 million decrease in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense and the $2.3 million voluntary waiver of the income incentive fee payment, which were offset by the addition of approximately $862,000 in portfolio fees – asset management expense. The portfolio fees are payable to TTG Advisers for monitoring and other customary fees received by the GP from portfolio companies of the PE Fund. To the extent the GP or TTG Advisers receives advisory, monitoring organization or other customary fees from any portfolio company of the PE Fund, 25% of such fees shall be paid to or retained by the GP and 75% of such fees shall be paid to or retained by TTG Advisers. 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 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 had also voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that were invested in exchange-traded funds and the Octagon Fund 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 2011 and for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 annualized, the Company’s expense ratio was 3.18% and 2.968%, 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 nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the provision for incentive compensation was decreased by a net amount of approximately $6.8 million to approximately $17.1 million. The net decrease in the provision for incentive compensation during the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of eleven of the Company’s portfolio investments (BP, HH&B, MVC Automotive, Security Holdings, SGDA Europe, NPWT, Tekers, Velocitius, BPC, Turf and Ohio Medical) by a total of $25.8 million and the dividend distribution of $12.0 million received from Summit. The net decrease in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of three of the Company’s portfolio investments (Octagon Fund, Vestal and RuMe) by a total of approximately $3.0 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Company’s escrow receivable related to Vitality by $130,000. For the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, a provision of approximately $2.3 million was recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income exceeded the hurdle rate for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. TTG Advisers has voluntarily agreed to waive the income-related incentive fee payment of approximately $2.3 million that the Company would otherwise be obligated to pay to TTG Advisers under the Advisory Agreement. Please see Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements “Incentive Compensation” for more information.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2011

Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waivers (as described below), were approximately $10.8 million or 3.44% of the Company’s average net assets, when annualized, for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011. Significant components of operating expenses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 were management fee expense of $7.0 million and interest and other borrowing costs of approximately $2.3 million.

The $800,000 decrease in the Company’s operating expenses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to the nine month period ended July 31, 2010, was primarily due to the $1.5 million decrease in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense offset by increases in interest and other borrowings costs, legal and other expenses totaling approximately $850,000. 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 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. 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 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 annualized, the Company’s expense ratio was 2.95% and 3.19%, 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 nine month period ended July 31, 2011, the provision for incentive compensation was decreased by a net amount of approximately $1.5 million to $20.5 million. The decrease in the provision for incentive compensation reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to increase the fair values of eight of the Company’s portfolio investments (Summit, SHL Group Limited, Security Holdings, Tekers, Total Safety, U.S. Gas, Octagon Fund and Velocitius) by a total of approximately $20.8 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 decrease in the provision also reflects the Valuation Committee’s determination to decrease the fair values of seven of the Company’s portfolio investments (BP, Ohio Medical, MVC Automotive, HuaMei, SGDA Europe, Vestal and HH&B) by a total of $30.6 million. During the nine month period ended July 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 10 of our consolidated financial statements “Incentive Compensation” for more information.

REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012

Net realized losses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 were approximately $25.1 million. The significant components of the Company’s net realized losses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 were primarily due to the reorganization of BP and the sale of Safestone.

On March 23, 2012, the Company sold its shares in the Octagon Fund for approximately $3.0 million resulting in a realized gain of approximately $18,000. Also during the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the Company received distributions from Octagon Fund of approximately $45,000, which were treated as realized gains.

On July 10, 2012, the Company sold its 21,064 common shares of Safestone, a Legacy Investment. The amount received from the sale was approximately $50,000 and resulted in a realized loss of approximately $2.0 million.

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the Valuation Committee determined to increase the fair values of the Vitality and Vendio escrows by a combined amount of approximately $143,000, which were recorded as realized gains.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2011

Net realized losses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 were $14.4 million. The significant components of the Company’s net realized losses for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 was primarily due to the loss on the sale of Harmony Pharmacy common stock, demand notes and revolving credit facility and the dissolution of Amersham. A portion of these losses were offset by the gain on the sale of LHD Europe common stock and the gains on the sale of the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund and the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund.

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. The Company may be eligible to receive proceeds from an earnout related to the sale of an operating division once the senior lender is repaid in full. At this time, it is not likely that any proceeds will be received by the Company.

On January 25, 2011, the Company sold its common stock in LHD Europe, receiving approximately $542,000 in proceeds which resulted in a realized gain of approximately $317,000.

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2011, the Company sold its shares in the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund and the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund, which resulted in a realized gain of approximately $106,000.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2012

The Company had a net change in unrealized depreciation on portfolio investments of approximately $10.5 million for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012. The change in unrealized depreciation for the nine month period ended July 31, 2012 primarily resulted from the $12.0 million cash dividend received from Summit and the Valuation Committee’s decision to decrease the fair values of the Company’s investments in BP term loan A by $100,000, HH&B common stock by $750,000, MVC Automotive equity interest by approximately $8.6 million, SGDA Europe equity interest by approximately $2.8 million, Security Holdings equity interest by approximately $6.2 million, Turf equity interest by $118,000, BPC equity interest by $180,000, MVC Partners equity interest by approximately $1.0 million, MVCFS’ General Partnership interest in the PE Fund by approximately $11,000, NPWT common and preferred stock by approximately $6,000 and $120,000, respectively, Tekers common stock by $417,000, Velocitius equity interest by approximately $5.8 million and value the liability associated with the Ohio Medical guarantee at $700,000. These changes in unrealized depreciation were partially off-set by the reclassifications from unrealized depreciation to realized losses caused by the reorganization of BP and the sale of Safestone of approximately $25.4 million and the Valuation Committee decision to increase the fair values of the Company’s investments in Octagon Fund by approximately $227,000, RuMe preferred stock by approximately $417,000 and Vestal common stock by approximately $2.4 million.

For the Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 2011

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 $9.5 million, SHL Group Limited common stock by $3.5 million, Security Holdings equity interest by approximately $4.5 million, Tekers common stock by approximately $410,000, Total Safety first lien loan by approximately $74,000, U.S. Gas preferred stock by $2.5 million, Octagon Fund by $25,000 and Velocitius equity interest by $300,000.

The Credit Facility includes standard financial covenants including limitations on total assets to debt, debt to equity, interest coverage and eligible debt ratios.

Subsequent Events

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Historically the Company has invested in small companies, and its investments in these companies are considered speculative in nature. The Company’s investments often include securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale that adversely affect the liquidity and marketability of such securities. As a result, the Company is subject to risk of loss which may prevent our shareholders from achieving price appreciation, dividend distributions and return of capital.

Financial instruments that subjected the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments, subordinated notes, debt instruments, and escrow receivables which represent approximately 91.72% of the Company’s total assets at July 31, 2012. As discussed in Note 7 “Portfolio Investments,” 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 portfolio company investments 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. The Company may make short-term investments in 90-day Treasury Bills, which are federally guaranteed securities, or other investments, including exchange-traded funds, private investment funds and designated money market accounts, pending investments in portfolio companies made pursuant to our principal investment strategy.

In addition, the following risk factors relate to market risks impacting the Company.

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.

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 July 31, 2012, approximately 91.72% 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.

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 typically not 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 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 resell. 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.

Our investments in small and middle-market privately-held companies are extremely risky and you could lose your 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.

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 July 31, 2012, the fair values of our two largest investments, Summit Research Labs, Inc. (“Summit”) and U.S. Gas & Electric, Inc. (“U.S. Gas”), comprised 18.9% and 23.1% 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 or their respective industries 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

At October 31, 2011, the Company had unused net realized losses of approximately $26.4 million and had net unrealized losses of $21.5 million associated with Legacy Investments. Since the Company’s realized losses were not entirely offset by realized gains during the nine month period ended July 31, 2012, the Company will be able to utilize them as capital loss carryforwards in the future. 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. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, which was enacted on December 22, 2010, changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies, including the treatment of capital loss carryforwards. Please see Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements “Tax Matters” for more information.

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 July 31, 2012, 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.

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.

Wars, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence 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.
