Total investment income for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to approximately $9.8 million, up approximately 6.8% from the fourth quarter of 2010 due largely to greater distribution income from our securitization vehicle investments.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net investment income of approximately $0.5 million, or approximately $0.02 per share. Excluding the impact of a capital gains incentive fee expense of approximately $6.5 million, our core net investment income⁽¹⁾ was approximately $7.0 million, or approximately $0.22 per share. We also recorded net unrealized appreciation of approximately $9.1 million and net realized capital gains of approximately $1.9 million. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.36 per share for the first quarter, or approximately $0.56 per share of core net increase in net assets resulting from operations⁽¹⁾.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were approximately $2.7 million, which were up slightly from the fourth quarter of 2010.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of approximately $9.1 million, comprised of $13.3 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $2.7 million in gross unrealized depreciation and $1.5 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized appreciation upon the realization events associated with certain investments.

Our weighted average credit rating on a fair value basis was 2.2 at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we had net realized gains on investments of approximately $1.9 million due to sales and repayments of several investments.

The capital gains portion of our incentive fee expense was approximately $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to zero for the prior quarter. The capital gains incentive fee expense, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles, is calculated on the basis of net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation at the end of each period. The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Investment Advisor in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) on such date. The $6.5 million capital gains incentive fee expense, and associated accrual, for the first quarter of 2011 relates entirely to the hypothetical liquidation calculation. Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with our overall investment results.

Our Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2011.

Payable Date: June 30, 2011

Record Date: June 16, 2011

During the first quarter of 2011, we deployed approximately $100.6 million in 23 investments. For the same period, we received proceeds of approximately $66.2 million from repayments, sales and amortization payments on our debt investments.

With respect to our CLO investments for the quarter ending March 31, 2011, we recorded approximately $980,000 in interest payments, $427,000 in principal payments at par and approximately $2.3 million in CLO equity distributions. In total, since we began investing in this asset class through March 31, 2011, we have recorded approximately $4.0 million in interest payments, $2.5 million in principal payments at par and $6.1 million in CLO equity distributions.

At the end of the first quarter, this asset class represented approximately 29.8% of our total assets on a fair value basis, partially due to significant appreciation in the values of these assets since we purchased them.

At March 31, 2011, the weighted average yield of our debt investments was approximately 13.3%, down from 14.1% at December 31, 2010.

As of the end of the first quarter of 2011 there were no loans on non-accrual status.

At March 31, 2011, net asset value per share was $9.97 compared with the net asset value per share at December 31, 2010 of $9.85. The March 31, 2011 net asset value incorporates the impact of the capital gains incentive fee accrual.

Net realized and unrealized capital gains include rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share.

Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of March 31, 2011, none of the distributions for 2011 would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders; this tax return of capital may differ from the return of capital calculated with reference to net investment income for financial reporting purposes.

Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming dividend reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized.

Annualized.
