HIGHLIGHTS
| • | | For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded net investment income of approximately $6.6 million, or approximately $0.34 per share, net unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $3.0 million and a net realized loss on investments of approximately $143,000. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.18 per share for the first quarter. |
| | • | | Total investment income for the first quarter amounted to approximately $9.9 million, of which approximately $9.6 million was interest income and approximately $280,000 was fee income. |
| | • | | We recorded unrealized depreciation on our debt investments in GenuTec Business Solutions, Inc. ($5.0 million) and Falcon Communications, Inc. ($1.5 million), based upon a review of the operating performance of these companies, as well as consideration of other factors and conditions affecting these investments. These decreases were partially offset by unrealized appreciation of approximately $3.0 million associated with the equity investment in Algorithmic Implementation, Inc. and unrealized appreciation on other investments of approximately $500,000. Our debt investment in GenuTec was placed on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2007. |
| • | | Investment activity for the first quarter amounted to approximately $26.4 million, and consisted of 1 investment in a new portfolio company and an additional investment in an existing portfolio company, as follows: |
| | • | | $25.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by AKQA, Inc. an independent global marketing agency that provides customer relationship marketing and e-commerce solutions to its clients. |
| | • | | $1.4 million was drawn on our previous commitment to GenuTec Business Solutions, Inc., an existing portfolio company. |
| • | | At March 31, 2007, the weighted average yield of our debt investments (excluding cash equivalents and assuming no interest income on the investment placed on non-accrual status) was approximately 12.0%. |
| • | | Expenses for the quarter were approximately $3.3 million, including interest expense of approximately $1.0 million, reflecting the borrowings that have been made under our credit facility. |
| | • | | At March 31, 2007 approximately $56.5 million was outstanding under our credit facility; as of May 7, 2007 approximately $76.5 was outstanding under the facility. |
