MVC Capital, Inc. (the Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2011
(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
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010, as filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 21, 2010.
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 Companys 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. In the consolidation, all
intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
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 (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. In accordance with the
1940 Act, unrestricted minority-owned publicly traded securities for which market quotations are
readily available are valued at the closing market quote on the valuation date and majority-owned
publicly traded securities and other
13
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 April 30, 2011, we did not hold restricted or unrestricted
securities of publicly traded companies for which we have a majority-owned interest.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and
provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure
value. 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. In determining the principal
market for an asset or liability under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access
to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting
entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical
market.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Determining Fair Value
When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which is codified in ASC 820, which provided
additional guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets under ASC 820 in the current
economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an
orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market
participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. ASC 820 states that a
transaction price that is associated with a transaction that is not orderly is not determinative of
fair value or market-participant risk premiums and companies should place little, if any, weight
(compared with other indications of fair value) on transactions that are not orderly when
estimating fair value or market risk premiums. This new guidance was effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance has not had a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-12, Estimating the
Fair Value of Investments in Investment Companies That Have Calculated Net Asset Value Per Share
(ASU 2009-12). ASU 2009-12 amends FASB ASC Topic 820 to provide application guidance for
estimating the fair value of investments in an entity that meets the definition of an investment
company for which its partners capital or net asset value has been measured in accordance with, or
in a manner consistent with the principles of FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services Investment
Companies. As a practical expedient, a reporting entity is permitted under ASU 2009-12 to
estimate the fair value of an investment within the scope of this ASU using capital balance or net
asset value without further adjustment as of the reporting entitys measurement date. The amended
guidance does not allow for use of the practical expedient for investments within the scope of ASU
2009-12 if, as of the measurement date, it is probable that the entity will sell the investment (or
a portion of the investment) for an amount that differs from the reported value of its capital
balance or net assets. The amended guidance also requires additional disclosures to better enable
users of the financial statements to understand the nature and risks of the reporting entitys
alternative investments.
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosure
about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 provides an amendment to ASC 820-10 which requires new
disclosures on transfers in and out of Levels I and II and activity in Level III fair value
measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosures such as 1.) level of disaggregation
and 2.) disclosure about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications
of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales,
14
issuance, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level III fair value measurements.
Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance, the application of which
has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company but
has resulted in additional disclosures.
Valuation 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 currently comprised of
three Independent Directors) determines fair valuation of portfolio company investments on a
quarterly basis (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances). Any changes in
valuation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as Net change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Currently, our NAV per share is calculated and
published on a monthly basis. The fair values determined as of the most recent quarter end are
reflected in that quarters NAV per share and in the next two months NAV per share calculation.
(If the Valuation Committee determines to fair value an investment more frequently than quarterly,
the most recently determined fair value would be reflected in the published NAV per share.)
The Company calculates our NAV per share by subtracting all liabilities from the total value
of our portfolio securities and other assets and dividing the result by the total number of
outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of valuation.
At April 30, 2011, approximately 85.07% 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 managements and the Valuation Committees
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 companys financial results and projections, publicly traded comparable
companies when available, comparable private transactions when available, precedent transactions in
the market when available, performs a discounted cash flow analysis if appropriate, as well as
other factors. The Company generally requires, where practicable, portfolio companies to provide
annual audited and more regular unaudited financial statements, and/or annual projections for the
upcoming fiscal year.
The fair value of our portfolio securities is inherently subjective. Because of the inherent
uncertainty of fair valuation of portfolio securities that do not have readily ascertainable market
values, our estimate of fair value
15
may significantly differ from the fair value that would have been used had a ready market existed
for the securities. Such values also do not reflect brokers fees or other selling costs which
might become payable on disposition of such investments.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and
provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure
value. In determining fair value, the Valuation Committee primarily uses the level 3 inputs
referenced in ASC 820.
The fair value measurement under ASC 820 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 Company would
sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. If no
market for the asset exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the
Company will use a hypothetical market.
If a security is publicly traded, the fair value is generally equal to market value based on
the closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is primarily traded.
For equity securities of portfolio companies, the Valuation Committee estimates the fair value
based on market approach with value then attributed to equity or equity like securities using the
enterprise value waterfall (Enterprise Value Waterfall) valuation methodology. Under the
Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, the Valuation Committee estimates the enterprise
fair value of the portfolio company and then waterfalls the enterprise value over the portfolio
companys securities in order of their preference relative to one another. To assess the
enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Valuation Committee weighs some or all of the
traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the
portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing
assets may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent
sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the
portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third
parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the
value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing
assets, the Valuation Committee may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio
companys 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.
16
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.
As permitted under GAAP, the Companys interests in private investment funds (Investment
Vehicles) are generally valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations
provided by the underlying Investment Vehicles, without adjustment, unless TTG Advisers is aware of
information indicating that a value reported does not accurately reflect the value of the
Investment Vehicle, including any information showing that the valuation has not been calculated in
a manner consistent with GAAP. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such investments is
recorded based on the Companys proportionate share of the aggregate amount of appreciation
(depreciation) recorded by each underlying Investment Vehicle. The Companys proportionate share
includes its share of interest and dividend income and expense, and realized and unrealized gains
and losses on securities held by the underlying Investment Vehicles, net of operating expenses and
fees. Realized gains and losses on withdrawals from Investment Vehicles are generally recognized
on a first in, first out basis.
The Company applies the practical expedient to interests in Investment Vehicles on an
investment by investment basis, and consistently with respect to the Companys entire interest in
an investment. The Company may adjust the valuation obtained from an Investment Vehicle with a
discount or reserve if it determines that the net asset value is not representative of the current
market conditions.
When the Company receives nominal cost warrants or free equity securities (nominal cost
equity) with a debt security, the Company typically allocates its cost basis in the investment
between debt securities and nominal cost equity at the time of origination.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected
to be collected. Origination and/or closing fees associated with investments in portfolio
companies are accreted into income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the
prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination,
closing and commitment fees are recorded as income. Prepayment premiums are recorded on loans when
received.
For loans, debt securities, and preferred securities with contractual payment-in-kind interest
or dividends, which represent contractual interest/dividends accrued and added to the loan balance
or liquidation preference that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not ascribe
value to payment-in-kind interest/dividends if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the
payment-in-kind interest is not collectible. However, the Company may ascribe value to
payment-in-kind interest if the health of the portfolio company and the underlying securities are
not in question. All payment-in-kind interest that has been added to the principal balance or
capitalized is subject to ratification by the Valuation Committee.
Escrows from the sale of a portfolio company are generally valued at an amount which may be
expected to be received from the buyer under the escrows various conditions discounted for both
risk and time.
6. Concentration of Market Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted
principally of equity investments, subordinated notes, debt instruments, escrow receivables, and
other investments made
17
pending investments in portfolio companies (other than cash equivalents). These investments
collectively represented approximately 85.07% of the Companys total assets at April 30, 2011. 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 Companys fair value
policies and procedures. The Companys investment strategy represents a high degree of business and
financial risk due to the fact that the Companys portfolio 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. In
addition, the Company may invest a significant portion of its 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. The Company may make
short-term investments in 90-day Treasury Bills, which are federally guaranteed securities, or
other investments, including exchange-traded funds and money market accounts, pending investments
in portfolio companies made pursuant to our principal strategy. The Company considers all money
market and other cash investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to
be cash equivalents. U.S. government securities and cash equivalents are highly liquid.
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 investments 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 April 30, 2011. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data. Additionally, the Companys
interests in Investment Vehicles that can be withdrawn by the Company
at the net asst value reported by such Investment Vehicle as of the
measurement date, or within six months of the measurement date, are
generally categorized as Level 2 investments. We valued one of our
investments using Level 2 inputs as of April 30, 2011. |
18
|
|
|
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by
observable market data. Additionally, included in Level 3 are the
Companys 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.
The following fair value hierarchy table sets forth our investment portfolio by level as of
April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 (in thousands):

For the Six Month Ended April 30, 2011
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company made one new investment,
committing capital totaling $3.0 million. The investment was made in Octagon High Income Cayman
Fund Ltd. (Octagon Fund) ($3.0 million).
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company made two follow-on investments
in an existing portfolio company totaling $8.3 million. On January 27, 2011, the Company invested
$3.3 million in Security Holdings B.V. (Security Holdings) in the form of an additional equity
interest. On January 28, 2011, the Company loaned an additional $5.0 million to Security Holdings
in the form of a bridge loan with an annual interest rate of 3%. This bridge loan has allowed
Security Holdings to secure project guarantees. In addition, during the six month period ended
April 30, 2011, the Company invested approximately $10.0 million in the SPDR Barclays Capital High
Yield Bond Fund and approximately $10.0 million in the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund.
These investments were sold during the six month period ended April 30, 2011, resulting in a
realized gain of approximately $106,000. The investments in these exchange traded funds were
intended to provide the Company with higher yielding investments than cash and cash equivalents
while awaiting deployment into portfolio companies pursuant to the Companys principal investment
strategy. TTG Advisers had voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that are invested
in exchange-traded funds would not be subject to the base management fee due to TTG Advisers under
the Advisory Agreement.
Effective November 4, 2010, the interest rate on the Turf Products, LLC (Turf) senior
subordinated loan was reduced from 15% to 13% and the maturity date was extended to January 31,
2014.
On November 30, 2010, the Company loaned an additional $700,000 to Harmony Pharmacy & Health
Center, Inc. (Harmony Pharmacy), which was the remaining portion of the $1.3 million demand note
committed on September 23, 2010.
On November 30, 2010, a public Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) sale of Harmony Pharmacys
assets took place. Prior to this sale, the Company formed a new entity, Harmony Health & Beauty,
Inc. (HH&B). The Company assigned its secured debt interest in Harmony Pharmacy of approximately
$6.4 million to HH&B in exchange for a majority of the economic ownership. At the UCC sale, HH&B
submitted a successful credit bid of approximately $5.9 million for all of the assets of Harmony
Pharmacy. On December 21, 2010, Harmony Pharmacy filed for dissolution in the states of
California, New Jersey and New York. As a result, the Company realized an $8.4 million loss on its
investment in Harmony Pharmacy.
20
On December 1, 2010, Amersham Corporation (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 11, 2011, SHL Group Limited, which provides workplace talent assessment solutions
including ability and personality tests, and psychometric assessments, acquired the Companys
portfolio company PreVisor. The Company received 145,674 common shares of SHL Group Limited for
its investment in PreVisor. The cost basis or market value of the Companys investment remained
unchanged as a result of the transaction.
On January 25, 2011, the Company sold its common stock in LHD Europe Holding Inc. (LHD
Europe), receiving approximately $542,000 in proceeds which resulted in a realized gain of
approximately $317,000.
On March 1, 2011, SP Industries, Inc. (SP) repaid its first lien and second lien loans in
full including all accrued interest. The Company received a $500,000 termination fee associated
with the repayment of the loans.
On March 31, 2011, Marine Exhibition Corporation (Marine) made a principal payment of
$150,000 on its senior subordinated loan. The balance of the loan as of April 30, 2011 was
approximately $12.0 million.
On April 29, 2011, assets from a division of Ohio Medical were distributed to Ohio Medical
shareholders on a pro-rata basis. The Company received 281 shares of common stock in NPWT
Corporation (NPWT) as part of this transaction.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, Octagon Credit Investors, LLC (Octagon)
borrowed and repaid $1.5 million on its revolving line of credit. There was a zero balance
outstanding as of April 30, 2011.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, Total Safety U.S., Inc. (Total Safety)
made principal payments of approximately $5,000 on its first lien loan. The balance of the first
lien loan as of April 30, 2011 was approximately $941,000.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company received approximately $53,000
in principal payments on the term loan provided to Storage Canada, LLC (Storage Canada). The
balance of the term loan at April 30, 2011 was $950,000.

the Companys investments in Summit Research Labs, Inc. (Summit) common stock by $7.5 million and
U.S. Gas & Electric, Inc. (U.S. Gas) preferred stock by $2.5 million. In addition, increases in
the cost basis and fair value of the loans to Custom Alloy Corporation (Custom Alloy), SP, Marine
Exhibition Corporation (Marine), Summit and U.S. Gas and the Marine preferred stock were due to
the capitalization of payment in kind (PIK) interest/dividends totaling $980,119. The Valuation
Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical Corporation (Ohio Medical) preferred
stock by approximately $1.9 million due to PIK distributions which were treated as a return of
capital. Also, during the quarter ended January 31, 2011, the undistributed allocation of flow
through income from the Companys equity investment in Octagon increased the cost basis and fair
value of this investment by approximately $229,000. The Valuation Committee also decreased the
fair value of the Companys investments in BP Clothing, LLC (BP) second lien loan by $3.9 million
and term loan A and B by a combined $2.0 million, Ohio Medical Corporation (Ohio Medical) common
stock by $500,000 and preferred stock by $8.2 million, MVC Automotive Group B.V. (MVC Automotive)
equity interest by $3.1 million, HuaMei Capital Company (HuaMei) common stock by $325,000 and
HH&B by $1.9 million during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.

by $2.6 million. In addition, increases in the cost basis and fair value of the loans to Custom
Alloy, SP, Marine, Summit and U.S. Gas and the Marine preferred stock were due to the
capitalization of PIK interest/dividends totaling $714,247. In addition, during the quarter ended
April 30, 2011, the undistributed allocation of flow through income from the Companys equity
investment in Octagon increased the cost basis and fair value of this investment by approximately

term loan A by approximately $1.2 million, Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $164,000,
HuaMei common stock by approximately $1.0 million, SGDA Europe B.V. (SGDA Europe) equity interest

24

GDC Acquisition, LLC (GDC), Custom Alloy, SP, Marine, Turf, BP, Summit, and U.S. Gas and the
Marine and Vitality preferred stock were due to the capitalization of PIK interest/dividends
totaling $5,561,308. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical
preferred stock by approximately $6.8 million due to PIK distributions which were treated as a
return of capital. Also, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the undistributed
allocation of flow through income from the Companys equity investment in Octagon increased the

million, BP second lien loan by $14.1 million, Ohio Medical common stock by $8.6 million, SGDA

approximately $3.2 million and Vendio preferred stock by approximately $1.9 million and common
stock by $5,500 during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The net decrease in fair value of
$6.4 million in Harmony Pharmacy was a result of the Valuation Committee determination to decrease
the value of the unsecured demand notes by $7.5 million and to ascribe a fair value of $1.1 million
to the capitalized PIK interest on the revolving credit facility which had no previous value. The
Valuation Committee also determined not to increase the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy
revolving credit facility, Amersham loan, BP second lien loan and GDC senior subordinated loan for
the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately $732,000.

responsible for providing office space to the Company and for the costs associated with providing
such office space. The Companys 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 April 30, 2011, 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 Companys 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 will be 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 will be 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.
The Company enters into contracts with portfolio companies and other parties that contain a
variety of indemnifications. The Companys 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. Tokarzs employment agreement with the Company terminated
and the obligations under Mr. Tokarzs 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), approved a renewal of the
Advisory Agreement at their in-person meeting held on October 26, 2010.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, TTG Advisers determines, consistent with the
Companys investment strategy, the composition of the Companys portfolio, the nature and timing of
the changes to the Companys portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes. TTG Advisers
also identifies and negotiates the structure of the Companys investments (including performing due
diligence on prospective portfolio companies), closes and monitors the Companys 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 componentsa base management fee and an incentive fee. The base
27
management fee is calculated at 2.0% per annum of the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys average
net assets) to 3.5% in each of the 2009 and 2010 fiscal years. For more information, please see
Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements, Incentive Compensation.
On October 26, 2010, TTG Advisers and the Company entered into an agreement to extend the
expense cap of 3.5% to the 2011 fiscal year. In addition, for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, 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). 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.
10. Incentive Compensation
At October 31, 2010, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately
$22.0 million. During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, this provision for incentive
compensation was decreased by a net amount of approximately $1.1 million to approximately $20.9
million. The decrease in the provision for incentive compensation during the six month period
ended April 30, 2011 reflects both increases and decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair
values of certain portfolio companies and 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. Specifically, it reflects the Valuation Committees determination to increase the fair
values of seven of the Companys portfolio investments (Summit, SHL Group Limited, Security
Holdings, Tekers, Total Safety, U.S. Gas and Velocitius) by a total of approximately $19.8 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 Committees determination to decrease
the fair values of six of the Companys portfolio investments (BP, Ohio Medical, MVC Automotive,
HuaMei, SGDA Europe and HH&B) by a total of $27.0 million. During the six month period ended April
30, 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.
At October 31, 2009, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was approximately
$19.5 million. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, this provision for incentive
compensation was increased by a net amount of approximately $2.5 million to approximately $22.0
million. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation reflects both increases and
decreases by the Valuation Committee in the fair values of certain portfolio companies and the sale
of Vitality for a realized gain of $13.9 million. The difference between the amount received from
the sale and Vitalitys carrying value at October 31, 2009 was an increase of $3.0 million. The
amount of the provision also reflects the Valuation Committees determination to increase the fair
values of eight of the Companys portfolio investments (Octagon, Summit, Velocitius, LHD Europe,
PreVisor, U.S. Gas, Vestal and Dakota Growers) by a total of $54.2 million. The Valuation
Committee also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $6.8
million due to PIK distributions, which were treated as a return of capital. The net increase in
the provision also reflects the Valuation Committees determination to decrease the fair values of
ten of the Companys portfolio investments (Amersham, BP, Ohio Medical, MVC Automotive, Security
Holdings, Harmony Pharmacy, GDC, SGDA Europe, Turf and SGDA) by a total of $50.5 million and the
Valuation Committee determination not to increase the fair values of the
28
Harmony Pharmacy revolving credit facility, the Amersham loan, the BP second lien loan and the GDC
senior subordinated loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately $656,000. For the
year ended October 31, 2010, the Company was not required to make an incentive compensation payment
to TTG Advisers based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement. During the fiscal year ended October
31, 2010, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the incentive fee
as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate.
11. Tax Matters
During fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company utilized all of the prior years
capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $29,988,349. As of October 31, 2010, the Company had
net unrealized capital gains of $53,203,804. The Company has approximately $31.5 million in
unrealized losses associated with Legacy Investments.
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 Companys 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 six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company did not incur any
interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction
is federal for the Company and MVCFS. The 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 federal tax years for the
Company and for MVCFS remain subject to examination by the IRS.
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 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
Companys 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 the Plan Agent in additional shares of
our common stock. Of course,
29
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.

Share Repurchase Program
On April 23, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program
authorizing up to $5.0 million in share repurchases. As of April 30, 2011, there have been 380,105
shares repurchased at an average price of $13.06, including commission, with a total cost of
approximately $5.0 million, thereby substantially completing the share repurchase program authorized by the Board
of Directors. The Companys net asset value per share was increased by approximately $0.07 as a
result of the share repurchases.
The following table represents our stock repurchase program for the quarter ended April 30,

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 Companys 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 Companys investment professionals (who, effective November 1, 2006, provide
their services to the Company through the Companys 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, 2010,
the Company obtained one new investment and made four follow-on investments in existing portfolio
companies committing a total of $8.3 million of capital to these investments. During the six month
period ended April 30, 2011, the Company made one new investment and two follow-on investments in
an existing portfolio company, committing capital totaling $11.3 million.
Prior to the adoption of our current investment objective, the Companys investment objective
had been to achieve long-term capital appreciation from venture capital investments in information
technology companies.
The Companys investments had thus previously focused on investments in equity and debt
securities of information technology companies. As of April 30, 2011, 2.21% 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 or managing member to a private equity or other
investment vehicle(s). In fact,
34
we established MVC Partners for this purpose. Furthermore, the
Board of Directors has authorized the establishment and investment in a private equity fund (PE
Fund), for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the general partner
(GP) and which may raise up to $250 million. On October 29, 2010, through MVC Partners, the
Company committed to invest $20 million in the PE Fund. The PE Fund completed a first closing of
approximately $80 million of capital commitments. The Companys Board of Directors authorized the
establishment of, and investment in, the PE Fund for a variety of reasons, including the Companys
ability to make Non-Diversified Investments through the PE Fund. As previously disclosed, the
Company is currently restricted from making Non-Diversified Investments. For services provided to
the PE Fund, the GP and MVC Partners are together entitled to receive 25% of all management fees
paid by the PE Fund and up to 30% of the carried interest generated by the PE Fund. Further, at
the direction of the Board of Directors, the GP retained TTG Advisers to serve as the portfolio
manager of the PE Fund. In exchange for providing those services, and pursuant to the Board of
Directors authorization and direction, TTG Advisers is entitled to receive the balance of the fees
and any carried interest generated by the PE Fund.
As a result of the first 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 Funds 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 Companys 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 Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. Total operating income was $9.1
million for the six month period ended April 30, 2011 and $13.1 million for the six month period
ended April 30, 2010, a decrease of $4.0 million.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2011
Total operating income was $9.1 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2011. The
decrease in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to the repayment of
investments that provide 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 $6.1 million in interest and
dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the $6.1 million recorded in
interest/dividend income, approximately $1.7 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 Companys 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 $3.0 million.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2010
Total operating income was $13.1 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2010. The
increase in operating income over the same period last year was primarily due to the increase in
dividend income of approximately $688,000 and other income of approximately $258,000. The main
components of investment income were the interest earned on loans and dividend income from
portfolio companies and the receipt of closing and monitoring fees from certain portfolio companies
by the Company and MVCFS. The Company earned approximately $11.5 million in interest and dividend
income from investments in portfolio companies.
35
Of the $11.5 million recorded in interest/dividend
income, approximately $3.1 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 Companys debt investments yielded rates
from 1.2% to 17%. The Company received fee income and other income from portfolio companies and
other entities totaling approximately $1.7 million.
OPERATING EXPENSES
For the Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. Operating expenses were $7.2 million
for the six month period ended April 30, 2011 and $11.1 million for the six month period ended
April 30, 2010, a decrease of approximately $3.9 million.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2011
Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waivers, were approximately $7.2 million or 3.48% of
the Companys average net assets, when annualized, for the six month period ended April 30, 2011.
Significant components of operating expenses for the six month period ended April 30, 2011 were
management fee expense of $4.8 million and interest and other borrowing costs of approximately $1.5
million.
The $3.9 million decrease in the Companys operating expenses for the six month period ended
April 30, 2011 compared to the six month period ended April 30, 2010, was primarily due to the $4.3
million decrease in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense offset by minimal
increases in interest and other borrowings costs, legal and other expenses totaling approximately
$700,000. 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 six month period ended April 30,
2011 annualized, the Companys expense ratio was 2.95% and 3.27%, 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 six month period ended April 30,
2011, the provision for incentive compensation was decreased by a net amount of approximately $1.1
million to $20.9 million. The decrease in the provision for incentive compensation reflects the
Valuation Committees determination to increase the fair values of seven of the Companys portfolio
investments (Summit, SHL Group Limited, Security Holdings, Tekers, Total Safety, U.S. Gas and
Velocitius) by a total of approximately $19.8
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 Committees determination
to decrease the fair values of six of the Companys portfolio investments (BP, Ohio Medical, MVC
Automotive, HuaMei, SGDA Europe and HH&B) by a total of $27.0 million. During the six month period
ended April 30, 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.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2010
Operating expenses, net of the Voluntary Waiver, were $11.1 million or 5.23% of the Companys
average net assets, when annualized, for the six month period ended April 30, 2010. Significant
components of
36
operating expenses for the six month period ended April 30, 2010, included the
management fee of $4.9 million, incentive compensation of $3.2 million and interest and other
borrowing costs of approximately $1.3 million.
The $3.1 million increase in the Companys operating expenses for the six month period ended
April 30, 2010 compared to the six month period ended April 30, 2009, was primarily due to the $3.7
million increase in the estimated provision for incentive compensation expense offset by the
decrease of approximately $537,000 in interest and other borrowing costs. The Advisory Agreement
extended the expense cap applicable to the Company for an additional two fiscal years (fiscal years
2009 and 2010) and increased the expense cap from 3.25% to 3.5%. For fiscal year 2009 and for the
six month period ended April 30, 2010 annualized, the Companys expense ratio was 3.23% and 3.10% ,
respectively, (taking into account the same carve outs as those applicable to the expense cap).
For the 2010 fiscal year, TTG Advisers has voluntarily agreed to waive $150,000 of expenses to be
reimbursed to it by the Company under the Advisory Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, during the six month period ended April 30,
2010, the provision for incentive compensation was increased by a net amount of $3,245,335 to
$22,756,482. The increase in the provision for incentive compensation reflects the sale of
Vitality for a realized gain of $13.9 million. The difference between the amount received from the
sale and Vitalitys carrying value at October 31, 2009 was an increase of $3.0 million. The amount
of the provision also reflects the Valuation Committees determination to increase the fair values
of five of the Companys portfolio investments (Octagon, Summit, Velocitius, LHD Europe and Dakota
Growers) by a total of $18.1 million. The Valuation Committee also increased the fair value of the
Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $3.3 million due to PIK distributions, which were
treated as a return of capital. The net increase in the provision also reflects the Valuation
Committees determination to decrease the fair values of four of the Companys portfolio
investments (Amersham, BP, Ohio Medical, and SGDA) by a total of $7.7 million and the Valuation
Committee determination not to increase the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy revolving credit
facility and the Amersham loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling $374,000. As of April 30,
2010, the Company does not anticipate an incentive compensation payment being made to TTG Advisers
during fiscal year 2010 based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement. During the six month period
ended April 30, 2010, there was no provision recorded for the net operating income portion of the
incentive fee as pre-incentive fee net operating income did not exceed the hurdle rate. Please see
Note 10 Incentive Compensation for more information.
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
For the Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. Net realized losses for the six
month period ended April 30, 2011 were $14.5 million and net realized gains for the six month
period ended April 30, 2010 were $13.7 million, a decrease of approximately $28.2 million.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2011
Net realized losses for the six month period ended April 30, 2011 were $14.5 million. The
significant components of the Companys net realized losses for the six month period ended April
30, 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 the Amersham loans. 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 November 30, 2010, a public Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) sale of Harmony Pharmacys
assets took place. Prior to this sale, the Company formed a new entity, Harmony Health & Beauty,
Inc. (HH&B). The Company assigned its secured debt interest in Harmony Pharmacy of approximately
$6.4 million to HH&B in exchange for a majority of the economic ownership. At the UCC sale, HH&B
submitted a successful credit bid of approximately $5.9 million for all of the assets of Harmony
Pharmacy. On December 21, 2010, Harmony Pharmacy filed for dissolution in the states of
California, New Jersey and New York. As a result, the Company realized an $8.4 million loss on its
investment in Harmony Pharmacy.
37
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 six month period ended April 30, 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 Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2010
Net realized gains for the six month period ended April 30, 2010 were $13.7 million. The
significant component of the Companys net realized gains for the six month period ended April 30,
2010 was primarily the gain on the sale of Vitality common stock and warrants and the sale of
Phoenix Coal common stock.
On December 29, 2010, the Company sold the common stock, preferred stock and warrants of
Vitality. The amount received from the sale of the 556,472 common shares was approximately $10.0
million, for the 1 million preferred shares was approximately $14.0 million, and for the 1 million
warrants was approximately $3.8 million. As part of this transaction, there was approximately $2.9
million deposited in an escrow account subject to a reduction over a three year period in
accordance with a specified schedule. On March 9, 2010, the Company received its first scheduled
disbursement from the Vitality escrow totaling approximately $522,000. There were no claims against
the escrow, so 100% of the expected proceeds of the first scheduled disbursement were released. At
the same time, the Company received its portion of a working capital adjustment paid to Vitality.
The Companys share of the proceeds from the working capital adjustment totaled approximately
$471,000 and was recorded as additional long-term capital gain. The total proceeds received from
the escrow disbursement and working capital adjustment was approximately $993,000. The value of
the escrow was increased by $150,000 by the Valuation Committee during the six month period ended
April 30, 2010. This escrow is currently valued at approximately $1.9 million on the Companys
balance sheet as of April 30, 2010. Total amount received from the sale as of April 30, 2010 was
approximately $30.6 million resulting in a realized gain of approximately $13.9 million, which was
treated as a long-term capital gain. This escrow is currently valued at approximately $1.9 million
on the Companys balance sheet.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2010, the Company sold the remaining 666,667
shares of Phoenix Coal common stock. The total amount received from the sale net of commission was
approximately $295,000, approximately $68,000 above the carrying value at January 31, 2010,
resulting in a realized loss of approximately $205,000.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
For the Six Month Periods Ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company had a net change in
unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of approximately $8.8 million for the six month
period ended April 30,
2011 and approximately $357,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2010, an increase of
approximately $8.4 million.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2011
The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of
approximately $8.8 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2011. The change in unrealized
appreciation on investment transactions for the six month period ended April 30, 2011 primarily
resulted from the increase in unrealized
38
appreciation reclassification from unrealized to realized,
caused by the sale of Harmony Pharmacy and the dissolution of Amersham of approximately $14.9
million. The other components in the change in unrealized appreciation are the Valuation
Committees decision to increase the fair value of the Companys investments in Summit common stock
by $9.5 million, SHL Group Limited common stock by $2.5 million, Security Holdings equity interest
by approximately $2.0 million, Tekers common stock by approximately $600,000, Total Safety first
lien loan by approximately $74,000, U.S. Gas preferred stock by $2.5 million and Velocitius equity
interest by $2.6 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 Valuation Committee also decreased the fair value of the Companys
investments in MVC Automotive equity interest by approximately $100,000, BP second lien loan by
$3.9 million and term loan A and B by a combined $3.2 million, Ohio Medical common stock by
$500,000 and preferred stock by approximately $8.4 million, HuaMei common stock by approximately
$1.3 million, SGDA Europe equity interest by $3.9 million and HH&B by $5.7 million during the six
month period ended April 30, 2011.
For the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2010
The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of
approximately $357,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2010. The change in unrealized
appreciation on investment transactions for the six month period ended April 30, 2010, primarily
resulted from the increase in unrealized depreciation reclassification from unrealized to realized,
caused by the sale of Vitality, of approximately $11.3 million. The other components in the change
in unrealized appreciation are the Valuation Committees decision to increase the fair value of the
Companys investments in Dakota Growers common stock by approximately $3.4 million and preferred
stock by approximately $3.6 million, Octagon equity interest by $1.5 million, Summit common stock
by $9.0 million, Velocitius equity interest by $400,000, and LHD Europe series A common stock by
approximately $166,000 and series B common Stock by approximately $58,000. The Valuation Committee
also increased the fair value of the Ohio Medical preferred stock by approximately $3.3 million due
to PIK distributions which were treated as a return of capital. The Valuation Committee also
decreased the fair value of Ohio Medical common stock by $1.3 million, SGDA preferred equity by
$2.4 million, Vendio preferred stock by approximately $1.9 million and common stock by $5,500, BP
second lien loan by approximately $1.6 million, and the Amersham second lien notes by $2.4 million.
The Valuation Committee also determined not to increase the fair values of the Harmony Pharmacy
revolving credit facility and the Amersham loan for the accrued PIK interest totaling approximately
$374,000.

$347.5 million and $375.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $28.1 million. The aggregate fair
value of portfolio investments at April 30, 2011 and at October 31, 2010 was $414.6 million and

value of $1.1 million to the capitalized PIK interest on the revolving credit facility which had no
previous value. The Valuation Committee also determined not to increase the fair values of the

12% and a maturity date of April 29, 2011, had an outstanding balance, cost, and fair value of
$600,000. The 81,000 shares of common stock of Vestal that had a cost basis of $1.9 million were
fair valued at $2.2 million.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the maturity date on the senior subordinated
promissory note was extended to April 29, 2013.
At April 30, 2011, the senior subordinated promissory note had an outstanding balance, cost,
and fair value of $600,000. The 81,000 shares of common stock of Vestal that had a cost basis of
$1.9 million were fair valued at $2.2 million.
Bruce Shewmaker and Scott Schuenke, officers of the Company, serve as directors of Vestal.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from our credit facility and cash flows from
operations, including investment sales and repayments and income earned. Our primary use of funds
includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we
incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our credit facility, proceeds generated from
our portfolio investments and/or proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to
finance pursuit of our investment objective.
At April 30, 2011, the Company had investments in portfolio companies totaling $414.6 million.
Also, at April 30, 2011, the Company had investments in cash and cash equivalents totaling
approximately $65.0 million. Of the $65.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $7.5 million was
restricted cash related to the project guarantee for Security Holdings. The Company considers all
money market and other cash investments
54
purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
U.S. government securities and cash equivalents are highly liquid. Pending investments in
portfolio companies pursuant to our principal investment strategy, the Company may make other
short-term or temporary investments, including in exchange-traded funds and private investment
funds offering periodic liquidity.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company made one new investment,
committing capital totaling $3.0 million. The investment was made in Octagon Fund ($3.0 million).
During the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company made two follow-on investments
in an existing portfolio company totaling $8.3 million. On January 27, 2011, the Company invested
$3.3 million in Security Holdings in the form of an additional equity interest. On January 28,
2011, the Company loaned an additional $5.0 million to Security Holdings in the form of a bridge
loan with an annual interest rate of 3%. This bridge loan will allow Security Holdings to secure
project guarantees. In addition, during the six month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company
invested approximately $10.0 million in the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Fund and
approximately $10.0 million in the iShares S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index Fund. These investments
were sold during the six month period ended April 30, 2011, resulting in a realized gain of
approximately $106,000. The investments in these exchange traded funds were intended to provide
the Company with higher yielding investments than cash and cash equivalents while awaiting
deployment into portfolio companies pursuant to the Companys principal investment strategy. TTG
Advisers had voluntarily agreed that any assets of the Company that are invested in exchange-traded
funds would not be subject to the base management fee due to TTG Advisers under the Advisory
Agreement.

These guarantees are further described below, together with the Companys other commitments.
On June 30, 2005, the Company pledged its common stock of Ohio Medical to Guggenheim to
collateralize a loan made by Guggenheim to Ohio Medical.
On October 12, 2006, the Company provided a $12.0 million revolving credit facility to Octagon
in replacement of the senior secured credit facility provided on May 7, 2004. This credit facility
expires on
55
December 31, 2011. The credit facility bears annual interest at LIBOR plus 4.25%. The
Company receives a 0.50% unused facility fee on an annual basis and a 0.25% servicing fee on an
annual basis for maintaining the credit facility. On February 12, 2009, the commitment amount of
the revolving credit facility was reduced to $7.0 million. At October 31, 2010 and April 30, 2011,
there was no balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility.
On July 19, 2007, the Company agreed to guarantee a 1.4 million Euro mortgage for Tekers,
equivalent to approximately $2.1 million at April 30, 2011.
On January 15, 2008, the Company agreed to guarantee a 6.5 million Euro mortgage for MVC
Automotive, equivalent to approximately $9.6 million at April 30, 2011.
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 $5.9 million at April
30, 2011) through making financing available to the dealership and agreeing under certain
circumstances not to reduce its equity stake in MVC Automotive.
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 May 1, 2011. On July
31, 2008, Turf borrowed $1.0 million from the secured junior revolving note. At October 31, 2010
and April 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of the secured junior revolving note was $1.0 million.
On September 9, 2008, the Company agreed to guarantee a 35.0 million Czech Republic Koruna
(CZK) mortgage for MVC Automotive, equivalent to approximately $2.1 million at April 30, 2011.
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 Energys trade supply
credit facility to U.S. Gas.
On October 29, 2010, through MVC Partners, the Company committed to invest approximately $20.1
million in a private equity fund (PE Fund), for which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company serves as the general partner (the GP). The PE Fund completed a first closing of
approximately $80 million of capital commitments.
On April 26, 2011, the Company agreed to support a 5.0 million Euro letter of credit from
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., equivalent to approximately $7.5 million at April 30, 2011. This letter
of credit is being used as collateral for a project guarantee by AB DnB NORD bankas to Security
Holdings.
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 Companys 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
April 30, 2011, 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 Companys option, at a floating rate
56
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 will
be 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
will be 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.
The Company enters into contracts with portfolio companies and other parties that contain a
variety of indemnifications. The Companys 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.
Subsequent Events
As required by ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the
issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.
On May 4, 2011, the Company made an additional $500,000 investment in NWPT for 5,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
On May 4, 2011 and May 6, 2011, the Company invested $4,500 and $4.0 million, respectively, in
JSC Tekers Holdings for 2,250 shares of common stock and a secured loan with an interest rate of 8%
and maturity date of June 30, 2014.
On
May 26, 2011, the Company invested an additional $150,000 in
Harmony for 23,806 shares of common stock.
On
May 26, 2011, Security Holdings repaid its loan in full,
including all accrued interest.
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 Companys 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 85.07% of the Companys total assets at April 30, 2011. 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 Companys fair
value policies and procedures. The Companys 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.
57
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 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 April 30, 2011, approximately 85.07% 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 companys financial results and projections
and publicly traded comparables 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.
58
Economic recessions or downturns 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.
During certain periods covered by this report, conditions in the public debt and equity
markets deteriorated and pricing levels continued to decline. 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. 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 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 companys 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 borrowers 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 Moodys or lower than BBB- by Standard & Poors,
commonly referred to as junk bonds). Loans of below investment grade quality have predominantly
speculative characteristics with respect to the borrowers 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.
59
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.
|
60
|
|
|
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 April 30, 2011, our two largest
investments, Summit and U.S. Gas, were fair valued at 19.4% and 21.7% of our net assets,
respectively. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a
RIC, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and while we are not targeting any
specific industries, relatively few industries may continue to be significantly represented among
our investments. To the extent that we have large positions in the securities of a small number of
portfolio companies, we are subject to an increased risk of significant loss should the performance
or financial condition of these portfolio companies deteriorate. We may also be more susceptible
to any single economic or regulatory occurrence as a result of holding large positions in a small
number of portfolio companies.
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 Companys 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.
61
Complying with the RIC requirements causes 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 security 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 restricts our ability to take
advantage of certain investment opportunities believed to be attractive, including potential
follow-on investments in certain portfolio companies.
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
|
62
|
|
|
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.
If we experience a shift in the ownership of our common stock (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.
63
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 now only consists of a $50.0 million term
loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 450 basis points with a 1.25% LIBOR floor. 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 of April 30, 2011,
there was $50.0 million in term debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. 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 financing, which 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.
The continuing occupation of Iraq and other military presence in other countries, as well as
the current unrest in the Middle East region, are likely to have a substantial impact on the U.S.
and world economies and securities markets. The nature, scope and duration of the unrest, wars and
occupation cannot be predicted with any certainty. Furthermore, terrorist attacks may harm our
results of operations and your investment. We cannot assure you that there will not be further
terrorist attacks against the United States or U.S. businesses. Such attacks and armed conflicts in
the United States or elsewhere may impact the businesses in which we invest directly or indirectly,
by undermining economic conditions in the United States. Losses resulting from terrorist events are
generally uninsurable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the individual who
performs the functions of a Principal Executive Officer (the CEO) and the individual who performs
the functions of a Principal Financial Officer (the CFO) conducted an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011, which have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
