EXHIBIT 99.2

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information furnished in this Exhibit 99.2 was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X and gives effect to the Merger Agreement with GAIN with acquisition accounting applied to GAIN as the accounting acquiree and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of net proceeds therefrom as described above.
The historical consolidated financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information furnished in this Exhibit 99.2 has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the Company and GAIN following the Merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue synergies that may result from the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not give effect to the anticipated repurchase of GAIN’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “GAIN Convertible Notes”) which the Company does not believe is directly attributable to the Merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information furnished in this Exhibit 99.2 has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contains estimated adjustments, based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in greater detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In many cases, these assumptions are based upon preliminary information and estimates. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger and the anticipated issuance of the Notes as follows:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 was prepared based on:
1.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2020; and
2.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of GAIN as of March 31, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended September 30, 2019 was prepared based on:
1.
The historical audited consolidated income statement of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2019; and
2.
The historical audited consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was derived based on:
1.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2020; and





2.
The historical audited consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the year ended December 31, 2019; plus
3.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the three months ended March 31, 2020; less
4.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 was derived based on:
1.
The historical audited consolidated income statement of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2019; plus
2.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2020; less
3.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2019; and
4.
The historical audited consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the year ended December 31, 2019; plus
5.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the three months ended March 31, 2020; less
6.
The historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of GAIN for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
As the GAIN unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statement information for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was derived from the historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, plus the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, less the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, GAIN’s results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended September 30, 2019, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended March 31, 2020, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended September 30, 2019 reflects the Merger of GAIN with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on October 1, 2018, combining the results of the Company for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 and of GAIN for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended March 31, 2020 reflects the Merger of GAIN with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on October 1, 2019, combining the results of the Company and GAIN for the respective periods. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 reflects the Merger of GAIN with the Company and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on April 1, 2019, combining the results of the Company and GAIN for the respective periods.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 reflects the GAIN Merger and related anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above, as if such transactions had occurred on March 31, 2020, combining the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company and GAIN as of March 31, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the anticipated issuance of the Notes and the use of net proceeds therefrom as described above and also reflects the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company is the acquiror for financial accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. To prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Company adjusted GAIN’s assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values based upon a preliminary allocation. As of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values of GAIN’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments upon the closing of the Merger may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments.
Certain financial information of GAIN as presented in its historical consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation of the Company’s consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements for the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as further detailed in Note 4. Upon completion of the Merger, a more detailed review of GAIN’s accounting policies could result in additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company, which are materially consistent with those adopted by GAIN. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect any adjustments to conform GAIN’s results and financial position to the Company’s accounting policies.
3. PURCHASE PRICE ACCOUNTING AND ESTIMATED MERGER CONSIDERATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect a preliminary allocation of the cash consideration to the fair value of GAIN’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which each share of GAIN’s common stock issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive $6.00 in cash, without interest. Based upon GAIN’s fully diluted shares outstanding, the total cash consideration required to be paid to GAIN’s shareholders for the Merger is $236.2 million.





Information regarding the cash consideration to be paid for the Merger is as follows:
Cash price per share established in Merger Agreement
$
6.00

Fully diluted shares (in millions)
39.4

Total merger consideration ($ in millions)
$
236.2

Information regarding the net tangible book value of GAIN as of March 31, 2020, is as follows (in millions):
Fair value of tangible assets acquired
$
1,213.7

Fair value of tangible liabilities assumed
(946.4
)
Net tangible book value
$
267.3

Assuming the Merger had occurred on March 31, 2020, management has made an initial fair value estimate of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of that date. All purchase accounting estimates are subject to revision upon the closing of the Merger and upon finalizing its purchase accounting estimates; a process in which the Company expects to seek the assistance of a third-party valuation expert.
The Merger will include the acquisition of certain derivative financial instruments that are carried at fair value in GAIN’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. For assets and liabilities not carried at fair value in GAIN’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, the Company believes that due to the short-term nature of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, that their carrying values approximate their fair values. The Company intends to redeem and repay the GAIN Convertible Notes with the proceeds from the anticipated issuance of the Notes in connection with the transactions and, thus, the fair value of the GAIN Convertible Notes was assumed to be equivalent to the redemption value.
Based upon the excess of the net tangible assets acquired in comparison to the total Merger consideration detailed above, the Company would have recorded a bargain purchase gain related to the Merger of approximately $31.1 million assuming the Merger had occurred on March 31, 2020.
The Company believes that the bargain purchase gain was due to the significant market volatility experienced during March 2020, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The volatility during the period commencing on February 27, 2020 (the first trading day following the signing of the Merger Agreement) and ending on March 31, 2020, the last day of GAIN’s first quarter of 2020, increased significantly as compared to both the period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on the date the Merger Agreement was signed on February 26, 2020 and GAIN’s first quarter of 2019. This resulted in GAIN generating significant increases in net income over the comparable periods, and a corresponding increase in net tangible book value, that was not contemplated in the Merger consideration.






4. RECLASSIFICATION ADJUSTMENTS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of GAIN’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the financial statement presentation of the Company. The reclassifications result in consistency of reporting between the Company and GAIN with no impact on total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, and net (loss) income.

5. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and of GAIN and certain adjustments which the Company believes are reasonable to give effect to the Merger and the anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of the net proceeds therefrom as described above. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore, the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. In particular, such adjustments include information based upon our preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration, which is subject to adjustment based upon the closing of the Merger and our further analysis.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included herein was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the Merger. As discussed above, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary at this time. However, the Company believes that the preliminary purchase price allocation and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the Merger and the anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of the net proceeds therefrom as described above. Other than those pro forma adjustments described below, the Company believes there are no adjustments, in any material respects, that need to be made to present GAIN’s financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or to align GAIN’s historical accounting policies with the Company’s.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020 are as follows:
A.
To record $92.0 million of the cash proceeds from the anticipated issuance of the Notes that will be utilized to repurchase the GAIN Convertible Notes.
B.
To adjust for the quarterly cash dividend of $2.4 million equal to $0.06 per share of GAIN’s common stock declared by the GAIN Board of Directors subsequent to March 31, 2020.
C.
To record the usage of cash of $0.8 million from the balance sheet to pay acquisition related costs of the Merger.
D.
To adjust GAIN’s operating right of use assets to fair value in connection with the Company’s preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration.
E.
To adjust GAIN’s intangible assets as a result of the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
F.
To record the anticipated issuance and use of net proceeds from the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, less deferred financing costs of $14.3 million.
G.
To adjust GAIN’s Convertible Notes to fair value in connection with the Company’s preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration.
H.
To record the elimination of GAIN’s equity of $297.1 million.
I.
To accrue for directly attributable, factually supportable, and nonrecurring acquisition related costs related to the Merger of $8.3 million.
J.
To record a bargain purchase gain upon the Merger of $31.1 million based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration.
K.
To adjust for the quarterly cash dividend of $2.4 million equal to $0.06 per share of GAIN’s common stock declared by the GAIN Board of Directors subsequent to March 31, 2020.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the year ended September 30, 2019 are as follows:
A.
To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $29.8 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 8.5%. A 0.125% increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.
B.
To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $2.9 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.
To reverse the amortization expense of $8.8 million incurred on GAIN’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.





D.
To record the tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments attributable to GAIN were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 19.8%, and the pro forma adjustments attributable to the Company were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 26%. The Company’s effective tax rate may be materially different after conclusion of final acquisition accounting, removal of non-recurring items reflected in historical amounts, analysis of the post-closing geographical mix of income, and other factors. Adjustments to tax assets and liabilities will occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting, and these adjustments could be material.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the six months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:
A.
To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $14.9 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 8.5%. A 0.125% increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.
B.
To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $1.4 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.
To adjust for directly attributable, factually supportable, and nonrecurring acquisition related costs related to the Merger of $1.8 million included in the results for the six months ended March 31, 2020.
D.
To reverse the amortization expense of $3.6 million incurred on GAIN’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.
E.
To record the tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments attributable to GAIN were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 28.2%, and the pro forma adjustments attributable to the Company were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 26%. The Company’s effective tax rate may be materially different after conclusion of final acquisition accounting, removal of non-recurring items reflected in historical amounts, analysis of the post-closing geographical mix of income, and other factors. Adjustments to tax assets and liabilities will occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting, and these adjustments could be material.
The adjustments made in preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:
A.
To adjust for the directly attributable and recurring interest expense of $29.8 million that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million assuming these notes bear interest at a rate of 8.5%. A 0.125% increase in the actual interest rate at which these notes bear interest would increase pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.
B.
To adjust for the directly attributable, factually supportable, and recurring amortization of $2.9 million in deferred financing costs that will be incurred by the Company following the anticipated issuance of the Notes.
C.
To adjust for directly attributable, factually supportable, and nonrecurring acquisition related costs related to the Merger of $1.8 million included in the results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020.
D.
To reverse the amortization expense of $7.3 million incurred on GAIN’s previously acquired intangible assets based upon the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration to the fair value of the net assets acquired.

The pro forma adjustments attributable to GAIN were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 28.2%, and the pro forma adjustments attributable to the Company were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rate of 26%. The Company’s effective tax rate may be materially different after conclusion of final acquisition accounting, removal of non-recurring items reflected in historical amounts, analysis of the post-closing geographical mix of income, and other factors. Adjustments to tax assets and liabilities will occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting, and these adjustments could be material.
6. NONRECURRING CHARGES
As a result of the Merger Agreement, GAIN recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $28.1 million based on the agreed-upon Merger consideration of $6.00 per share in their audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The goodwill impairment charge is not reflected as a pro forma adjustment on the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statements for the year ended September 30, 2019, the six months ended March 31, 2020, and the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 as it is nonrecurring in nature.
