MVC Capital, Inc. (the Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2008
(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 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 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) on December 28, 2007 (File No. 814-00201).
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. 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 represented
approximately 78.68% of the Companys total assets at January 31, 2008. 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.
12

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 each of the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years.
Please see Note 9 Incentive Compensation for more information.
9. 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. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays an incentive
fee to TTG Advisers which is generally: (i) 20% of pre-incentive fee net operating income and (ii)
20% of net realized capital gains
less unrealized depreciation (on our portfolio securities acquired after November 1, 2003).
TTG Advisers is entitled to an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net operating
income in each fiscal quarter as follows: no incentive fee in any fiscal quarter in which our
pre-incentive fee net operating income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75% of net assets, 100%
of our pre-incentive fee net operating income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive
fee net operating income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% of net
assets in any fiscal quarter and 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net operating income,
21
if any, that exceeds 2.1875% of net assets in any fiscal quarter. Under the Advisory Agreement,
the accrual of the provision for incentive compensation for net realized capital gains is
consistent with the accrual that was required under the employment agreement with Mr. Tokarz.
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 less unrealized depreciation 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).
At October 31, 2007, the provision for estimated incentive compensation was $17,875,496.
During the three month period ended January 31, 2008, this provision for incentive compensation was
decreased by a net amount of $3,846,764 to $14,028,732. The amount of the provision reflects the
Valuation Committees determination to increase the fair values of six of the Companys portfolio
investments (U.S. Gas, Vitality, Tekers, SGDA, Custom Alloy and Velocitius) by a total of $10.3
million. The net decrease in the provision for incentive compensation during the three month
period ended January 31, 2008 was a result of the incentive compensation payment to TTG Advisers of
$5.5 million due to the sale of Baltic Motors and BM Auto. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement,
incentive compensation payments will be made to TTG Advisers only upon the occurrence of a
realization event (as defined under such agreement). On July 24, 2007, as discussed in Realized
Gains and Losses on Portfolio Securities, For the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2007, the Company
realized a gain of $66.5 million from the sale of Baltic Motors and BM Auto. This transaction
triggered an incentive compensation payment obligation to TTG Advisers, 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 2007. The payment obligation to TTG
Advisers from this transaction totaled approximately $12.9 million (20% of the realized gain from
the sale less unrealized depreciation on the portfolio). The remaining $7.4 million incentive
compensation payment to TTG Advisers was paid on February 1, 2008. During the quarter ended
January 31, 2008, 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.
10. Tax Matters
On October 31, 2007, the Company had a net capital loss carryforward of $6,623,425 remaining,
of which $3,327,875 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, 2007, the Company had net unrealized capital losses of $15,363,252.
The gross unrealized capital losses totaled $50,618,032. The total net realized capital loss
carryforwards and gross unrealized capital losses at October 31, 2007 were $57,241,457.
11. 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
22
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, 2008
On December 20, 2007, the Companys board of directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share.
The dividend was payable on January 9, 2008 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2007. The
ex-dividend date was December 27, 2007. The total distribution amounted to $2,913,739, including
distributions reinvested. In accordance with the Companys dividend reinvestment plan (the
Plan), Computershare Ltd., the Plan Agent, re-issued 15,930 shares of common stock from the
Companys treasury to shareholders participating in the Plan.

Fiscal Year 2006, the Company was internally managed. During the period, other expenses also
included employee compensation and facilities costs. |
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, 2007,
the Company made ten new investments and 16 follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies,
committing capital totaling approximately $167.1 million pursuant to our current investment
objective. During the three month period ended January 31, 2008, the Company made two new investments and three additional investments in existing portfolio
companies, committing capital totaling approximately $66.0 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, 2008, 4.58% 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 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.
27
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 equity or other
investment vehicle(s). In fact, during fiscal year 2006, we established MVC Partners for this
purpose. 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, 2008 and 2007. Total operating income was $8.9 million for
the quarter ended January 31, 2008 and $5.4 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2007, an
increase of $3.5 million.
For the Quarter Ended January 31, 2008
Total operating income was $8.9 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2008. 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 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 $7.0 million in interest and dividend income from investments in
portfolio companies. Of the $7.0 million recorded in interest/dividend income, approximately $1.4
million was payment in kind interest/dividends. The payment in kind interest/dividends are
computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and added to the principal
balance of each investment. The Companys debt investments yielded rates from 5% to 17%. Also, the
Company earned approximately $372,000 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 $1.3 million and $202,000, respectively.
For the Quarter Ended January 31, 2007
Total operating income was $5.4 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2007. The $1.2
million increase in operating income, compared to the quarter ended January 31, 2006, 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.
OPERATING EXPENSES
For Quarters Ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. Operating expenses were $5.5 million for the
quarter ended January 31, 2008 and $7.0 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2007, a decrease
of $1.5 million.
For the Quarter Ended January 31, 2008
Operating expenses were $5.5 million or 5.87% of the Companys average net assets, when
annualized, for the quarter ended January 31, 2008. Significant components of operating expenses
for the quarter ended January 31, 2008, included the management fee of $2.0 million, the estimated
provision for incentive compensation
28
expense of approximately $1.7 million, and interest expense and other borrowing costs of $1.2 million. The estimated provision for incentive compensation
expense is a non-cash, not yet payable, provisional expense relating to the Advisory Agreement.
The $1.5 million decrease in the Companys operating expenses for the quarter ended January
31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended January 31, 2007, was primarily due to the $1.9 million
decrease in the provision for estimated incentive compensation and the approximately $400,000
increase in the management fee expense. 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 each of the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years. 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). For fiscal
year 2007, the expense ratio was 3.0% (taking into account the same carve outs as those applicable
to the expense cap).
Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, during the three month period ended January
31, 2008, the incentive compensation provision was decreased by a net amount of $3,846,764 to
$14,028,732. The amount of the provision reflects the Valuation Committees determination to
increase the fair values of six of the Companys portfolio investments: U.S. Gas, Vitality, Tekers,
SGDA, Custom Alloy and Velocitius by a total of $10.3 million. The net decrease in the provision
for incentive compensation during the three month period ended January 31, 2008 was a result of the
incentive compensation payment to TTG Advisers of $5.5 million due to the sale of Baltic Motors and
BM Auto. The payment obligation to TTG Advisers from the Baltic Motors and BM Auto transaction
totaled approximately $12.9 million (20% of the realized gain from the sale less unrealized
depreciation on the portfolio). The remaining $7.4 million incentive compensation payment to TTG
Advisers was paid on February 1, 2008. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, incentive compensation
payments will be made only upon the occurrence of a realization event (such as the sale of shares
of Baltic Motors and BM Auto). Without this reserve for incentive compensation, operating expenses
would have been approximately $3.9 million or 4.12% of average net assets when annualized as
compared to 5.87%, which is reported on the Consolidated Per Share Data and Ratios, for the quarter
ended January 31, 2008. During the quarter ended January 31, 2008, 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 9 Incentive Compensation for more information.
In February 2008, the Company renewed its Directors & Officers/Professional Liability
Insurance policies at an annual premium expense of approximately $362,000, which is amortized over
the twelve month life of the policy. The prior policy premium was $381,000.
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, 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 the Advisory Agreement.
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.
29
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 each of the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years. 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 Growers, 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 the Advisory Agreement, 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.
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
For the Quarters Ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. Net realized gains for the quarter ended
January 31, 2008 were $656,418 and $3,968 for the quarter ended January 31, 2007, an increase of
$652,450.
For the Quarter Ended January 31, 2008
Net realized gains for the quarter ended January 31, 2008 were $656,418. The significant
component of the Companys net realized gains for the quarter ended January 31, 2008 was primarily
due to the gain on the sale of Genevac common stock. On January 2, 2008, Genevac repaid its senior
subordinated loan in full including all accrued interest. The total amount received was $11.9
million. The Company, at this time, sold 140 shares of Genevac common stock for $1.7 million,
resulting in a capital gain of $595,000.
The Company also realized a gain on foreign currency of approximately $60,000.
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).

The Company had a net change in unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments of $16.8
million for the quarter ended January 31, 2008. The change in unrealized appreciation on investment
transactions for the quarter ended January 31, 2008 primarily resulted from the Valuation

million, Tekers common stock by $100,000, Custom Alloy preferred stock by $5.0 million, Velocitius

million for the quarter ended January 31, 2007. The change in unrealized appreciation on investment

common stock by approximately $9.4 million, Dakota Growers common stock by approximately $1.9
million, Octagons membership interest by approximately $1.2 million, BM Auto common stock by $4.7

Financial Officer, currently serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer,
respectively, for MVC Acquisition Corp. In connection with our sponsorship of MVC Acquisition
Corp., we have agreed to purchase, through MVC Partners, an aggregate of $5,000,000 of warrants
from MVC Acquisition Corp. concurrent with the consummation of its initial public offering. On
November 26, 2007 and December 20, 2007, the Company made additional investments of $500,000 in
Harmony Pharmacy totaling a $1.0 million demand note. The demand note has an annual interest rate
of 10%. On November 30, 2007, the Company invested an additional $36.75 million in Ohio Medical in
the form of a $10.0 million senior subordinated note and $26.75 million in 9,917 shares of
convertible preferred stock. At this time, the $3.25 million convertible unsecured subordinated
promissory note was converted into preferred stock for a total investment of $40.0 million. The
note has an annual interest rate of 16% and a maturity date of May 30, 2012. On December 13, 2007,
the Company assigned the Ohio Medical $10.0 million senior subordinated note to AEA Investors LLC.
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

circumstances not to reduce its equity stake in MVC Automotive.
Timberland also has a floor plan financing program administered by 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, which expired on
February 28, 2007. Effective November 1, 2006, under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, 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.
On April 27, 2006, the Company and MVCFS, as co-borrowers, entered into the Credit Facility
with Guggenheim as administrative agent for the lenders. At October 31, 2007, there was $50.0
million in term debt and $30.0 million on the Credit Facility outstanding. During the three month
period ended January 31, 2008, the Companys net borrowings on the Credit Facility were $20.0
million. As of January 31, 2008, there was $50.0 million in term debt and $50.0 million
outstanding on the revolving credit facility. The proceeds from borrowings made under the Credit
Facility are used to fund new and existing portfolio investments, pay fees and expenses related to
obtaining the financing and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility will expire
51
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.

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, and debt instruments, which represent
approximately 78.68% of the Companys total assets at January 31, 2008. 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 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) 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
53
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 January 31, 2008, approximately 78.68% 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. 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 statements of operations as Net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation
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.
54
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.
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. |
55
|
|
|
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 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.
The market for private equity investments can be highly competitive. In some cases, our status as a
regulated business development company may hinder our ability to participate in investment
opportunities.
We face competition in our investing activities from private equity funds, other business
development companies, investment banks, investment affiliates of large industrial, technology,
service and financial companies, small business investment companies, wealthy individuals and
foreign investors. As a regulated business development company, we are required to disclose
quarterly the name and business description of portfolio companies and the value of any portfolio
securities. Many of our competitors are not subject to this disclosure requirement. Our obligation
to disclose this information could hinder our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies.
Additionally, other regulations, current and future, may make us less attractive as a potential
investor to a given portfolio company than a private equity fund not subject to the same
regulations. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater resources than we do. Increased
competition would make it more difficult for us to purchase or originate investments at attractive
prices. As a result of this competition, sometimes we may be precluded from making certain
investments.
Complying with the RIC requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.
In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy tests
concerning the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets and the amounts
we distribute to our shareholders. We may be unable to pursue investments that would otherwise be
advantageous to us in order to satisfy the source of income or asset diversification requirements
for qualification as a RIC. In particular, to qualify as a RIC, at least 50% of our assets must be
in the form of cash and cash items, Government securities, securities of other RICs, and other
securities that represent not more than 5% of our total assets and not more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of the issuer. We have from time to time held a significant portion
56
of our assets in the form of securities that exceed 5% of our total assets or more than 10% of
an outstanding security 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.
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; |
|
|
|
|
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 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
57
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.
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.
The war with Iraq, terrorist attacks, 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
58
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 control over financial reporting that occurred
during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008, which have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
