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.

Concentration
of Market Risk
|
Financial instruments that subjected the Company to
concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity
investments, subordinated notes, and debt instruments, which
represent approximately 85.53% of the Companys total
assets at January 31, 2007. As discussed in Note 5,
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 investments (other than cash equivalents) are generally
illiquid, in small and middle market companies, and include
entities with little operating history or entities that possess
operations in new or developing industries. These investments,
should they become publicly traded, would generally be
(i) subject to restrictions on resale, if they were
acquired from the issuer in private placement transactions; and
(ii) susceptible to market risk.

the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007

Companys consolidated statement of operations and NAV was
zero.

associated with the escrow, the Company has not presently placed

receives a fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the loan. The
revolving credit facility expires on December 1, 2009. As
of January 31, 2007, there was $1.75 million
outstanding.
Timberland also has a floor plan financing program administered
by Transamerica Commercial Finance Corporation
(Transamerica). As is typical in Timberlands
industry, under the terms of the dealer financing arrangement,
Timberland guarantees the repurchase of product from
Transamerica, if a dealer defaults on payment and the underlying
assets are repossessed. The Company has agreed to be a limited
co-guarantor for up to $500,000 on this repurchase commitment.
Commitments
of the Company:
On February 16, 2005, the Company entered into a sublease
(the Sublease) for a larger space in the building in
which the Companys current executive offices are located.
Effective November 1, 2006, the Company subleased its
principal executive office to The Tokarz Group Advisers LLC
(TTG Advisers). The Sublease is scheduled to expire
on February 28, 2007. Future payments under the Sublease
for TTG Advisers are expected to total approximately $18,750 in
fiscal year 2007. The Companys previous lease was
terminated effective March 1, 2005, without penalty. The
building in which the Companys executive offices are
located, 287 Bowman Avenue, is owned by Phoenix Capital
Partners, LLC, an entity which is 97% owned by Mr. Tokarz.
See Note 7 Management for more information on
Mr. Tokarz.
On April 27, 2006, the Company and MVCFS, as co-borrowers
entered into a new four-year, $100 million credit facility
(the Credit Facility) with Guggenheim as
administrative agent to the lenders. At October 31, 2006,
there was $50.0 million in term debt and $50.0 million
on the revolving credit facility outstanding. During the quarter
ended January 31, 2007, the Company repaid
$60.0 million and borrowed $60.0 million on the Credit
Facility. As of January 31, 2007, there was
$50.0 million in term debt and $50.0 million on the
revolving credit facility outstanding. The proceeds from
borrowings made under the Credit Facility are expected to be
used to fund new and existing portfolio investments, pay fees
and expenses related to the financing and for general corporate
purposes. The Credit Facility will expire on April 27,
2010, at which time all outstanding amounts under the Credit
Facility will be due and payable. Borrowings under the Credit
Facility will bear interest, at the Companys option, at

a floating rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate (for
one, two, three or six months), plus a spread of 2.00% per
annum, or (ii) the Prime rate in effect from time to time,
plus a spread of 1.00% per annum. The Company paid a
closing fee, legal and other costs associated with this
transaction. These costs will be amortized evenly over the life
of the facility. The prepaid expenses on the 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 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.
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. On May 30, 2006, the Companys
board of directors, including all of the Independent Directors
(Mr. Tokarz recused himself from making a determination on
this matter), unanimously approved the Investment Advisory and
Management Agreement (Advisory Agreement), which
provides for the Company to be managed externally by TTG
Advisers, which is controlled exclusively by Mr. Tokarz. On
September 7, 2006, shareholders approved the Advisory
Agreement at the annual meeting of shareholders.
Effective November 1, 2006, pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement, the Company is externally managed by TTG Advisers,
which serves as the Companys investment adviser. 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 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 components a
base management fee and an incentive fee. Please see Note 8
Incentive Compensation for more information. The
base management fee is calculated at 2.0% per annum of the
Companys total assets excluding cash not invested in
portfolio companies. 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.
Under internal management, Mr. Tokarz was entitled to
compensation pursuant to his agreement with the Company, under
which the Company was required to pay Mr. Tokarz incentive
compensation in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 20% of
the net income of the Company for the fiscal year; or
(b) the sum of (i) 20% of the net capital gains
realized by the Company in respect of the investments made
during his tenure as Portfolio Manager; and (ii) the
amount, if any, by which the Companys total expenses for a
fiscal year were less than two percent of the Companys net
assets (determined as of the last day of the period). Please see
Note 8 Incentive Compensation for more
information.

Incentive
Compensation
|
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. TTG Advisers is entitled to incentive
compensation on capital gains realized on portfolio securities
acquired after November 1, 2003. Under the Advisory
Agreement, the accrual of the provision for incentive
compensation is consistent with the accrual that would have been
required had the employment agreement with Mr. Tokarz been
in effect.
At October 31, 2006, the provision for estimated incentive
compensation was $7,172,352. During the three month period ended
January 31, 2007, this provision was increased by
$3,525,967. The increase in the provision for incentive
compensation resulted from the determination of the Valuation
Committee to increase the fair value of six of the
Companys portfolio investments: Baltic Motors, Dakota,
Octagon, BM Auto, SGDA, and Vitality by a total of $17,629,836.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, Mr. Tokarz was
paid no cash or other compensation. However, on October 2,
2006, the Company realized a gain of $551,092 from the sale of a
portion of the Companys member interest in Octagon. This
transaction triggered an incentive compensation payment
obligation to Mr. Tokarz, which payment was not required to
be made until the precise amount of the payment obligation was
confirmed based on the Companys completed audited
financials for the fiscal year 2006. The payment obligation to
Mr. Tokarz from this transaction was $110,218, which was
paid on January 12, 2007. After the increase in the
provision due to the
write-ups
and decrease from the payment made to Mr. Tokarz, the
reserve balance at January 31, 2007 was $10,588,101. This
provision will remain unpaid until net capital gains are
realized, if ever, by the Company. Pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement, only after a realization event (as is defined under
such agreement) may the incentive compensation be paid to TTG
Advisers.
On October 31, 2006, the Company had a net realized capital
loss carryforward of $73,524,707 of which $28,213,867 will
expire in the year 2010, $4,220,380 will expire in the year
2011, $37,794,910 will expire in the year 2012 and $3,295,550
will expire in the year 2013. To the extent future capital gains
are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains need not be
distributed. As of October 31, 2006, the Company had net
unrealized capital losses of $11,593,572. The gross unrealized
capital losses totaled $51,934,799. The total net realized
capital loss carryforwards and gross unrealized capital losses
at October 31, 2006 were $125,459,506.

Dividends
and Distributions to Shareholders
|
As a regulated investment company (RIC) under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code), the Company is required to distribute to
its shareholders, in a timely manner, at least 90% of its
investment company taxable and tax-exempt income each year. If
the Company distributes, in a calendar year, at least 98% of its
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These differences are due primarily to
differing treatments of income and gain on various investment
securities held by the Company, timing differences and differing
characterizations of distributions made by the Company.
Permanent book and tax basis differences

relating to shareholder distributions will result in
reclassifications and may affect the allocation between net
operating income, net realized gain (loss) and paid in capital.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
On December 14, 2006, the Companys board of directors
declared a dividend of $.12 per share and an additional
dividend of $.06 per share. Both dividends were payable on
January 5, 2007 to shareholders of record on
December 28, 2006. The ex-dividend date was
December 26, 2006. The total distribution amounted to
$3,437,326 including distributions reinvested. In accordance
with the Companys dividend reinvestment plan (the
Plan), Computershare Ltd. (f/k/a Equiserve), the
Plan Agent, re-issued 3,682 shares of common stock from the
Companys treasury to shareholders participating in the
Plan.
The Companys reportable segments are its investing
operations as a business development company, MVC Capital, Inc.,
and the financial advisory operations of its wholly-owned

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. In the
year ended October 31, 2006, the Company made sixteen new
investments and eight additional investments in existing
portfolio companies, committing capital totaling approximately
$166.3 million pursuant to our current investment
objective. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, the
Company made five new investments and four additional
investments in existing portfolio companies, committing capital
totaling approximately $23.8 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
January 31, 2007, 3.70% 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.
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
27
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 a
general partner or managing member to a private investment
vehicle(s). Additionally, we may also acquire a portfolio of
existing private equity or debt investments held by financial
institutions or other investment funds should such opportunities
arise.
OPERATING
INCOME
For the Quarters Ended January 31, 2007 and
2006. Total operating income was
$5.4 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2007
and $4.2 million for the quarter ended January 31,
2006, an increase of $1.2 million.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
Total operating income was $5.4 million for the quarter
ended January 31, 2007. The increase in operating income
over the same period last year was primarily due to the increase
in the number of investments that provide the Company with
current income. The main components of investment income were
the interest and dividend income earned on loans to portfolio
companies and the receipt of closing and monitoring fees from
certain portfolio companies by the Company and MVCFS. The
Company earned approximately $4.7 million in interest and
dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the
$4.7 million recorded in interest/dividend income,
approximately $763,000 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 0% to 17%. Also, the Company
earned approximately $75,000 in interest income on its cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The Company received fee
income and other income from portfolio companies and other
entities totaling approximately $657,000 and $24,000,
respectively.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2006
Total operating income was $4.2 million for the quarter
ended January 31, 2006. The increase in operating income
over the same period last year was primarily due to the increase
in the number of investments that provide the Company with
current income. The main components of investment income were
the interest and dividend income earned on loans to portfolio
companies and the receipt of closing and monitoring fees from
certain portfolio companies by the Company and MVCFS. The
Company earned approximately $2.67 million in interest and
dividend income from investments in portfolio companies. Of the
$2.7 million recorded in interest/dividend income,
approximately $430,000 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 7% to 17%. Also, the Company
earned approximately $600,000 in interest income on its cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The Company received fee
income and other income from portfolio companies and other
entities totaling approximately $850,000 and $120,000,
respectively. Included in other income is flow through income
from limited liability companies and cash received from the
Mentor Graphics Corp. multi-year earnout. Please see the
Companys 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for more information regarding the Mentor Graphics Corp. earnout.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
For the Quarters Ended January 31, 2007 and
2006. Operating expenses were $7.0 million
for the quarter ended January 31, 2007 and
$2.9 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2006,
an increase of $4.1 million.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
Operating expenses were $7.0 million or 11.48% of the
Companys average net assets, when annualized, for the
three month period ended January 31, 2007. Significant
components of operating expenses for the quarter ended
January 31, 2007, included estimated provision for
incentive compensation expense of approximately
$3.5 million,
28
management fees of $1.6 million, and interest expense and
other borrowing costs of $1.1 million. Estimated provision
for incentive compensation expense is a non-cash, not yet
payable, provisional expense relating to TTG Advisers
Advisory Agreement with the Company.
The $4.1 million increase in the Companys operating
expenses in the three month period ended January 31, 2007
compared to the three month period ended January 31, 2006,
was primarily due to the $2.0 million increase in the
provision for estimated incentive compensation, the
$1.1 million increase in the Companys interest
expense and other borrowings, and the $818,877 increase in the
management fee expense compared to the facilities and employee
compensation and benefits expense incurred when the Company was
internally managed. The $818,877 increase is in part due to the
externalization of management to TTG Advisers. However, the
management fee expense increased by only $260,000 when compared
to the employee compensation and benefits and facilities expense
for the quarter ended October 31, 2006. It should be noted,
in this regard, that 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 3.25% in a given fiscal year. In fiscal year 2006, when the
Company was still internally managed and not subject to the
expense cap, the expense ratio was 3.22% (taking into account
the same carve outs as those applicable to the expense cap).
Pursuant to the terms of the Companys agreement with TTG
Advisers, during the three month period ended January 31,
2007, the provision for incentive compensation was increased by
$3,525,967. The increase in the provision for incentive
compensation resulted from the determination of the Valuation
Committee to increase the fair value of six of the
Companys portfolio investments: Baltic Motors, Dakota,
Octagon, BM Auto, SGDA, and Vitality which are subject to the
Companys agreement with TTG Advisers, by a total of
$17,270,586. This reserve balance of $10,588,101 will remain
unpaid until net capital gains are realized, if ever, by the
Company. Pursuant to TTG Advisers Advisory Agreement with
the Company, only after a realization event may the incentive
compensation be paid. Without this reserve for incentive
compensation, operating expenses would have been approximately
$3.4 million or 5.66% of average net assets when annualized
as compared to 11.48% which is reported on the Consolidated Per
Share Data and Ratios, for the three month period ended
January 31, 2007. Please see Note 8 Incentive
Compensation for more information.
In February 2007, the Company renewed its Directors &
Officers/Professional Liability Insurance policies at an expense
of approximately $381,000 which is amortized over the twelve
month life of the policy. The prior policy premium was $459,000.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2006
Operating expenses were $2.9 million or 5.80% of average
net assets, when annualized, for the quarter ended
January 31, 2006. Significant components of operating
expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 2006, included
salaries and benefits of $650,453, estimated provision for
incentive compensation expense of $1,550,889, insurance premium
expenses of $129,706, legal fees of $125,001 and facilities
related expenses of $165,314. Estimated incentive compensation
expense is a non-cash, not yet payable, provisional expense
relating to Mr. Tokarzs compensation arrangement with
the Company.
The increase in the Companys operating expenses in the
quarter ended January 31, 2006, was primarily due to the
provision for estimated incentive compensation and an increase
in the number of employees needed to service the larger
portfolio. Also, the Companys rent and other facility
related expenses increased primarily due to the Companys
procurement of larger office space to accommodate the
Companys increased number of employees. See Note 6
Commitments and Contingencies for more information.
Pursuant to the terms of the Companys agreement with
Mr. Tokarz, during the quarter ended January 31, 2006,
the Company increased its provision for incentive compensation
by $1,550,889. The increase in the provision for incentive
compensation resulted from the determination of the Valuation
Committee to increase the fair value of four of the
Companys portfolio investments: Baltic Motors, Dakota,
Octagon, and Vitality which are subject to the Companys
agreement with Mr. Tokarz, by a total of $7,754,446. This
reserve balance of $2,668,217 may not be
29
payable until net capital gains are realized, if ever, by the
Company. Pursuant to Mr. Tokarzs agreement with the
Company, only after a realization event, may the incentive
compensation be paid to him. Mr. Tokarz has determined to
allocate a portion of his incentive compensation to certain
employees of the Company. During the quarter ended
October 31, 2006, Mr. Tokarz was paid no cash or other
compensation. Without this reserve for incentive compensation,
operating expenses would have been approximately
$1.40 million or 2.75% of average net assets when
annualized as compared to 5.80% which is reported on the
Consolidated Per Share Data and Ratios, for the quarter ended
January 31, 2006. Please see Note 8 Incentive
Compensation for more information.
In February 2005, the Company renewed its Directors &
Officers/Professional Liability Insurance policies at an expense
of approximately $517,000 which is amortized over the twelve
month life of the policy. The prior policy premium was $719,000.
REALIZED
GAINS AND LOSSES ON PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
For the Quarters Ended January 31, 2007 and
2006. Net realized gains for the quarter ended
January 31, 2007 were $3,968 and net realized losses for
the quarter ended January 31, 2006 were $2.2 million,
a net increase of approximately $2.2 million.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
Net realized gains for the quarter ended January 31, 2007
were $3,968. The significant component of the Companys net
realized gains for the quarter ended January 31, 2007 was a
realized gain from the final escrow distribution from Sygate
Technologies, Inc. (Sygate).
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2006
Net realized losses for the quarter ended January 31, 2006
were $2.2 million. The two significant components of the
Companys net realized loss for the quarter ended
January 31, 2006 were realized losses on Yaga and the
receipt of cash from a former portfolio company, Annuncio
Software, Inc. (Annuncio).
During the quarter ended January 31, 2006, the Company
received notification of the final dissolution of Yaga. The
Company received no proceeds from the dissolution of this
company and the investment has been removed from the
Companys books. The Company realized a loss of
$2.3 million as a result of this dissolution. The fair
value of Yaga was previously written down to zero and therefore
the net effect of its removal was zero on the current
periods consolidated statement of operations and net asset
value.
The Company also received a payout related to a former portfolio
company Annuncio of approximately $70,000.
UNREALIZED
APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
For the Quarters Ended January 31, 2007 and
2006. The Company had a net change in unrealized
appreciation on portfolio investments of $20.6 million for
the quarter ended January 31, 2007. The Company had a net
change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of
$13.4 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2006.
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on
portfolio investments of $20.6 million for the quarter
ended January 31, 2007. The change in unrealized
appreciation on investment transactions for the quarter ended
January 31, 2007 primarily resulted from the Valuation
Committees decision to increase the fair value of the
Companys investments in Baltic Motors common stock by
approximately $9.4 million, Dakota common stock by
approximately $1.9 million, Octagons membership
interest by approximately $1.2 million, BM Auto common
stock by $4.7 million, SGDA common equity interest by
approximately $121,000, and Vendio preferred stock by
$3.2 million.
30
For
the Quarter Ended January 31, 2006
The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on
portfolio investments of $13.4 million for the quarter
ended January 31, 2006. The change in unrealized
appreciation on investment transactions for the quarter ended
January 31, 2006 primarily resulted from the Valuation
Committees decision to increase the fair value of the
Companys investments in Baltic Motors common stock by
$3.2 million, Dakota common stock by approximately $72,000,
Octagons membership interest by approximately $562,000,
Process Claims preferred stock by $3.3 million and Vitality
common stock and warrants by $3.5 million and $400,000,
respectively. Another key component was the $2.3 million
depreciation reclassification from unrealized to realized caused
by the removal of Yaga from the Companys books.

the note. On January 11, 2007, the Company provided Harmony
Pharmacy a $4.0 million revolving credit facility. Harmony
Pharmacy immediately borrowed $1.75 million from the credit
facility.
Current balance sheet resources, which include the additional
cash resources from the Credit Facility, are believed to be
sufficient to finance current commitments. Current commitments

On June 30, 2005, the Company pledged its common stock of
Ohio to Guggenheim to collateralize a loan made by Guggenheim to
Ohio.
On July 8, 2005 the Company extended Timberland a
$3.25 million junior revolving note that bears interest at
12.5% per annum and expires on July 7, 2007. The
Company also receives a fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of
the note. As of October 31, 2005, the total amount
outstanding on the note was $3.25 million. On
December 27, 2005, the Company exchanged $286,200 of the
Timberland junior revolving line of credit for 28.62 shares
of common stock at a price of $10,000 per share. As of
January 31, 2006, the Company owned 478.62 common shares
and the funded debt under the junior revolving line of credit
has been reduced from $3.25 million to approximately
$3.0 million. On September 12, 2006, the Company
converted $409,091 of the Timberland junior revolving line of
credit into 40.91 shares of common stock at a price of
$10,000 per share. Effective September 22, 2006, the
Company converted $225,000 of the Timberland junior revolving
line of credit into 22.50 shares of common stock
46
at a price of $10,000 per share. As of October 31,
2006 the Company owned 542.03 common shares and the funded debt
under the junior revolving line of credit was $2.8 million.
On November 27, 2006, the amount available on the revolving
note was increased by $750,000 to $4.0 million. Net
borrowings during the quarter ended January 31, 2007 were
$1.2 million and as of January 31, 2007, the entire
$4.0 million facility was borrowed in full.
On March 30, 2006, the Company provided a $6.0 million
loan commitment to Storage Canada. The commitment expires after
one year, but may be renewed with the consent of both parties.
The initial borrowing on the loan bears annual interest at 8.75%
and has a maturity date of March 30, 2013. Any additional
borrowings will mature seven years from the date of the
subsequent borrowing. The Company also receives a fee of 0.25%
on the unused portion of the loan. As of October 31, 2006
the outstanding balance of the loan commitment was
$2.0 million. Net borrowing during the quarter ended
January 31, 2007 were $705,000 resulting in a balance of
$2.7 million as of January 31, 2007.
On July 11, 2006, the Company extended to Marine a
$2.0 million secured revolving note. The note bears annual
interest at LIBOR plus 1%. The Company also receives a fee of
0.50% of the unused portion of the loan. There was no amount
outstanding on the revolving note as of January 31, 2007.
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
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. At
October 31, 2006 the balance of the revolving credit
facility provided to Octagon was $3.25 million. Net
repayments during the quarter ended January 31, 2007 were
$400,000 resulting in a balance outstanding of $2.9 million.
On October 30, 2006, the Company provided a $260,000
revolving line of credit to Velocitius on which Velocitius
immediately borrowed $143,614. The revolving line of credit
expires on October 31, 2009. The line bears annual interest
at 8%. At October 31, 2006, the balance of the revolving
line of credit was $143,614. Net borrowing during the quarter
ended January 31, 2007 were $57,573. As of January 31,
2007, there was $201,187 outstanding.

$1.0 million outstanding on the revolving note.
On January 11, 2007, the Company provided a
$4.0 million revolving credit facility to Harmony Pharmacy.
Harmony Pharmacy immediately borrowed $1.75 million. The
credit facility bears annual interest at 10%. The Company also
receives a fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the loan. The
revolving credit facility expires on December 1, 2009. As
of January 31, 2007, there was $1.75 million
outstanding.
Timberland also has a floor plan financing program administered
by Transamerica Commercial Finance Corporation
(Transamerica). As is typical in Timberlands
industry, under the terms of the dealer financing arrangement,
Timberland guarantees the repurchase of product from
Transamerica, if a dealer defaults on payment and the underlying
assets are repossessed. The Company has agreed to be a limited
co-guarantor for up to $500,000 on this repurchase commitment.
Commitments
of the Company:
On February 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Sublease
for a larger space in the building in which the Companys
current executive offices are located. Effective
November 1, 2006, the Company subleased its principal
executive office to TTG Advisers. The Sublease is scheduled to
expire on February 28, 2007. Future payments under the
Sublease for TTG Advisers are expected to total approximately
$18,750 in fiscal year 2007. The Companys previous lease
was terminated effective March 1, 2005, without penalty.
The building in which the Companys executive offices are
located, 287 Bowman Avenue, is owned by Phoenix Capital
Partners, LLC, an entity which is 97% owned by Mr. Tokarz.
See Note 7 Management for more information on
Mr. Tokarz.
47
On April 27, 2006, the Company and MVCFS, as co-borrowers
entered into a new four-year, $100 million Credit Facility
with Guggenheim as administrative agent to the lenders. At
October 31, 2006, there was $50.0 million in term debt
and $50.0 million on the revolving credit facility
outstanding. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, the
Company repaid $60.0 million and borrowed
$60.0 million on the Credit Facility. As of
January 31, 2007, there was $50.0 million in term debt
and $50.0 million on the revolving credit facility
outstanding. The proceeds from borrowings made under the Credit
Facility are expected to be used to fund new and existing
portfolio investments, pay fees and expenses related to the
financing and for general corporate purposes. The Credit
Facility will expire on April 27, 2010, at which time all
outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility will be due and
payable. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear
interest, at the Companys option, at a floating rate equal
to either (i) the LIBOR rate (for one, two, three or six
months), plus a spread of 2.00% per annum, or (ii) the
Prime rate in effect from time to time, plus a spread of
1.00% per annum. The Company paid a closing fee, legal and
other costs associated with this transaction. These costs will
be amortized evenly over the life of the facility. The prepaid
expenses on the 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 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
During the period February 1, 2007 through
February 21, 2007, the Company repaid $59.0 million
and borrowed $9.0 million under the Credit Facility.
On February 16, 2007, the Company invested an additional
$1.8 million in Huamei Capital Company, Inc. by purchasing
450 shares of common stock. The $200,000 convertible
promissory note was converted to 50 shares of common stock
during this transaction.
On February 19, 2007, the Company invested approximately
$8.4 million in Velocitius B.V. in the form of common
equity. As of January 31, 2007, this transaction was in
escrow and recorded as a deposit on the Companys books.
On February 21, 2007, the Company made an additional
investment in BP Clothing LLC by extending a $10.0 million
second lien loan. The loan has an annual interest rate of 14%
and matures on July 18, 2012. The Company then assigned
$5.0 million of the second lien loan.
On February 28, 2007, the Company closed a public offering
of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of
$16.25 per share, raising approximately $75.9 million
in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and
commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company expects
to use the net proceeds of the offering to fund additional
investments and for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of debt.
On March 2, 2007, Octagon repaid $600,000 of the revolving
credit facility.
On March 2, 2007, the Company received a principal payment
of approximately $1.0 million on term loan A from
Henry.
On March 8, 2007, Levlad repaid their second lien note in full
including all accrued interest and a prepayment fee. The total
amount received in repayment for the second lien note was
$10,427,389.

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,
48
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, and debt instruments, which
represent approximately 85.53% of the Companys total
assets at January 31, 2007. As discussed in Note 5
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 the investments
(other than cash equivalents) are generally illiquid, in small
and middle market companies, and include entities with little
operating history or entities that possess operations in new or
developing industries. These investments, should they become
publicly traded, would generally be: (i) subject to
restrictions on resale, if they were acquired from the issuer in
private placement transactions; and (ii) susceptible to
market risk. At this time, the Companys investments in
short-term securities are in
90-day
Treasury Bills, which are federally guaranteed securities, or
other high quality, highly liquid investments. The
Companys cash balances, if not large enough to be invested
in 90-day
Treasury Bills or other high quality, highly liquid investments,
are swept into designated money market accounts.
In addition, the following risk factors relate to market risks
impacting the Company.
Investing
in private companies involves a high degree of
risk.
Our investment portfolio generally consists of loans to, and
investments in, private companies. Investments in private
businesses involve a high degree of business and financial risk,
which can result in substantial losses and accordingly should be
considered speculative. There is generally very little publicly
available information about the companies in which we invest,
and we rely significantly on the due diligence of the
Companys investment team to obtain appropriate 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) 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 Valuation Procedures adopted by our board of
directors.
At January 31, 2007, approximately 85.53% of our total
assets represented portfolio investments 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. 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 an objective 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 valuations, 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.
49
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
statements of operations as Net unrealized gain (loss) on
investments.
Economic
recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and
harm our operating results.
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.
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.
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.
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.
50
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. Because we seek to make investments in
privately-held companies, there is generally little or no
publicly available operating and financial information about
them. 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.
|
|
|
|
Small and middle-market companies generally have less
predictable operating results. We expect that our
portfolio companies may have significant variations in their
operating results, may from time to time be parties to
litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with
products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, may
require substantial additional capital to support their
operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive
position, may otherwise have a weak financial position or may be
adversely affected by changes in the business cycle. Our
portfolio companies may not meet net income, cash flow and other
coverage tests typically imposed by their senior lenders.
|
|
|
|
Small and middle-market businesses are more likely to be
dependent on one or two persons. Typically, the
success of a small or middle-market company also depends on the
management talents and efforts of one or two persons or a small
group of persons. The death, disability or resignation of one or
more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on
our portfolio company and, in turn, on us.
|
|
|
|
Small and middle-market companies are likely to have greater
exposure to economic downturns than larger
companies. We expect that our portfolio companies
will have fewer resources than larger businesses and an economic
downturn may thus more likely have a material adverse effect on
them.
|
|
|
|
Small and middle-market companies may have limited operating
histories. We may make debt or equity investments
in new companies that meet our investment criteria. Portfolio
companies with limited operating histories are exposed to the
operating risks that new businesses face and may be particularly
susceptible to, among other risks, market downturns, competitive
pressures and the departure of key executive officers.
|
Investments
in foreign debt or equity may involve significant risks in
addition to the risks inherent in
U.S. investments.
Our investment strategy may result 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.
51
The
market for private equity investments can be highly competitive.
In some cases, our status as a regulated business development
company may hinder our ability to participate in investment
opportunities.
We face competition in our investing activities from private
equity funds, other business development companies, investment
banks, investment affiliates of large industrial, technology,
service and financial companies, small business investment
companies, wealthy individuals and foreign investors. As a
regulated business development company, we are required to
disclose quarterly the name and business description of
portfolio companies and the value of any portfolio securities.
Many of our competitors are not subject to this disclosure
requirement. Our obligation to disclose this information could
hinder our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies.
Additionally, other regulations, current and future, may make us
less attractive as a potential investor to a given portfolio
company than a private equity fund not subject to the same
regulations. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater
resources than we do. Increased competition would make it more
difficult for us to purchase or originate investments at
attractive prices. As a result of this competition, sometimes we
may be precluded from making certain investments.
Complying
with the RIC requirements may cause us to forego otherwise
attractive opportunities.
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 the Companys total assets and not more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any issuer. The Company has
from time to time held a significant portion of its assets in
securities that exceed 5% of the Companys total assets or
more than 10% of the outstanding securities of an issuer, and
compliance with the RIC requirements may adversely affect 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. Thus, compliance with the RIC
requirements may hinder our ability to take advantage of
investment opportunities believed to be attractive.
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;
|
|
|
|
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; or
|
|
|
|
departures of key personnel.
|
52
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 have
recently traded at a premium to our NAV, historically, our
shares, as well as those of other closed-end investment
companies, have frequently traded at a discount to their NAV,
which discount often fluctuates over time.
Changes
in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net
investment income.
Because we may 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
will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment
income. 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.
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 significantly limited. In this
regard, we may seek to address this matter by implementing
restrictions on the ownership of our common stock which, if
implemented, would generally prevent investors from acquiring 5%
or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Further,
in the event that we are deemed to have failed to meet the
requirements to qualify as a RIC, our ability to use our capital
loss carryforwards could be adversely affected.
The
war with Iraq, terrorist attacks, the Middle East crisis and
other acts of violence or war may affect any market for our
common stock, impact the businesses in which we invest and harm
our operations and our profitability.
The war with Iraq, its aftermath and the continuing occupation
of Iraq are likely to have a substantial impact on the U.S. and
world economies and securities markets. The nature, scope and
duration of the war 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.
