Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

         Net asset value at June 30, 2002 was $235,353,880, equivalent to $61.47
per share after deducting an allowance of $22.02 per share for deferred taxes on
net  unrealized  appreciation.  Assuming  reinvestment  of all  dividends,  this
represents a decrease of 2.1% during the past twelve  months and 5.8% during the
past three months.

         Interest  income in the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  primarily  because  of a decrease  in loans to  portfolio
companies.  During the three  months  ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,  the Company
recorded dividend income from the following sources:

         Interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  primarily  due to a decrease  in  interest  rates.  Other
operating  expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2002  increased  from the
year-ago  period  primarily  due  to  professional   fees  related  to  a  prior
investment.

         At June 30, 2002,  the value of our  investment  in Palm Harbor  Homes,
Inc.  was  reduced  due  to  the  increasingly   unfavorable   outlook  for  the
manufacturing industry and because Palm Harbor reported its first quarterly loss
in 13 years for the three months ended June 30,  2002.  Conversely,  at June 30,
2001, the value of our Palm Harbor  investment had been increased in recognition
of Palm Harbor's  ability to maintain a reduced but acceptable level of earnings
despite the difficult condition of the manufactured housing industry.

         On June  3,  2002,  the  Company  repaid  the  $5,000,000  subordinated
debenture to the Small  Business  Administration  ("SBA") from its cash and cash
equivalents.

         On July 1, 2002,  the Company  repaid the  $65,000,000  note payable to
bank from its cash and cash equivalents.

         The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to
$5,989,346 in six portfolio companies.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         The Company is subject to financial market risks,  including changes in
marketable equity security prices. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments  to  mitigate  any of  these  risks.  The  return  on the  Company's
investments is not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

         The Company's investment in portfolio securities consists of fixed rate
debt securities which totaled  $2,800,000 at June 30, 2002,  equivalent to 0.87%
of the value of the Company's  total  investments.  Since these debt  securities
usually have  relatively  high fixed rates of interest,  minor changes in market
yields of publicly-traded debt securities have little or no effect on the values
of debt securities in the Company's  portfolio and no effect on interest income.
The Company's  investments in debt securities are generally held to maturity and
their fair values are  determined on the basis of the terms of the debt security
and the financial condition of the issuer.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
             (continued)


         A portion of the Company's  investment  portfolio  consists of debt and
equity securities of private  companies.  The Company  anticipates  little or no
effect on the values of these  investments  from modest changes in public market
equity valuations. Should significant changes in market valuations of comparable
publicly-owned   companies  occur,  there  may  be  a  corresponding  effect  on
valuations of private companies, which would affect the value and the amount and
timing of proceeds eventually realized from these investments.  A portion of the
Company's  investment  portfolio  also consists of restricted  common stocks and
warrants to purchase common stocks of publicly-owned  companies. The fair values
of these restricted securities are influenced by the nature of applicable resale
restrictions, the underlying earnings and financial condition of the issuer, and
the market valuations of comparable  publicly-owned  companies. A portion of the
Company's investment portfolio also consists of unrestricted,  freely marketable
common stocks of publicly-owned  companies.  These freely marketable investments
are  directly  exposed to equity  price  risks,  in that a change in an issuer's
public market equity price would result in an identical change in the fair value
of the Company's investment in such security.
