^(A)	Certain of the securities listed in the above schedule are issued by affiliate(s) of the indicated portfolio company.

^(B)

Percentages represent cash interest rates (which are generally indexed off of the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)) in effect as of June 30, 2014, and due dates represent the contractual maturity date. If applicable, paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rates are noted separately from the cash interest rates. Senior debt securities generally take the form of first priority liens on the assets of the underlying portfolio company.

^(C)	Last out tranche (“LOT”) of debt, meaning if the portfolio company is liquidated, the holder of the LOT is paid after all other debt holders.

^(D)	Fair value was based on an internal yield analysis or on estimates of value submitted by Standard & Poor’s Securities Evaluations, Inc.

^(E)	Fair value was based on the indicative bid price on or near June 30, 2014, offered by the respective syndication agent’s trading desk.

^(F)	Fair value was based on the total enterprise value of the portfolio company which was then allocated to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative priority in the capital structure.

^(G)	Investment is non-income producing.

^(H)	Investment is on non-accrual status.

^(I)	Investment was paid off, at or above par, subsequent to June 30, 2014, and was valued based on the payoff.

^(J)	There are certain limitations on our ability to transfer our units owned, withdraw or resign prior to dissolution of the entity, which must occur no later than May 3, 2020.

^(K)	Aggregates all shares of such class of stock owned without regard to specific series owned within such class, some series of which may or may not be voting shares.

^(L)	There are certain limitations on our ability to withdraw our partnership interest prior to dissolution of the entity, which must occur no later than ten years after May 9, 2014 (the closing date) or two years after all outstanding leverage has matured.

^(M)	Debt security has a fixed interest rate.

^(N)	Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), are those that are neither Control nor Affiliate investments and in which we own less than 5.0% of the issued and outstanding voting securities.

^(O)	Affiliate investments, as defined by the 1940 Act, are those in which we own, with the power to vote, between and inclusive of 5.0% and 25.0% of the issued and outstanding voting securities.

^(P)	Control investments, as defined by the 1940 Act, are those where we have the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the portfolio company, which may include owning, with the power to vote, more than 25.0% of the issued and outstanding voting securities.

GLADSTONE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2014

(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA AND AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Gladstone Capital Corporation was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on May 30, 2001, and completed an initial public offering on August 23, 2001. The terms “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” all refer to Gladstone Capital Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are an externally-managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, we have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of established private businesses in the United States (“U.S.”). Our investment objectives are to (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. that we believe will provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders that grow over time; and (2) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains.

Gladstone Business Loan, LLC (“Business Loan”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, was established on February 3, 2003, for the sole purpose of owning our portfolio of investments in connection with our revolving line of credit.

Gladstone Financial Corporation (previously known as Gladstone SSBIC Corporation and herein referred to as “Gladstone Financial”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, was established on November 21, 2006, for the purpose of holding a license to operate as a Specialized Small Business Investment Company. Gladstone Financial acquired this license in February 2007. The license enables us, through this subsidiary, to make investments in accordance with the United States Small Business Administration guidelines for specialized small business investment companies. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we held no investments through Gladstone Financial.

The financial statements of the foregoing two subsidiaries are consolidated with ours. We also have significant subsidiaries whose financial statements are not consolidated with ours. Refer to Note 12—Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries for additional information regarding our unconsolidated significant subsidiaries.

We are externally managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and an affiliate of ours, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Administrative services are provided by our affiliate Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”).

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

We prepare our interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have omitted certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X, and the authoritative accounting guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are not permitted to consolidate any portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, as filed with the SEC on November 20, 2013.

Our accompanying fiscal year-end Condensed Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, with no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Revisions

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been revised to correct the net presentation of certain fees in our results of operations. Our Adviser services, administers and collects on the loans held by Business Loan, in return for which our Adviser receives a 2% annual fee from Business Loan. All loan servicing fees are credited back to us by our Advisor. Previously, we presented the loan servicing fee on a net basis, which is zero because it is 100% credited back to us. We have revised our fee presentation related to these loan servicing fees to reflect the gross fee and related gross credit amounts for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013.

Management evaluated this error in presentation and concluded it was not material to the previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013. The impact of the revision is shown in the table below:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2013						Nine Months Ended June 30, 2013

Investment Valuation Policy

Accounting Recognition

We record our investments at fair value in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) and the 1940 Act. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized depreciation or appreciation previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized depreciation or appreciation primarily reflect the change in investment fair values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation or appreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Board Responsibility

In accordance with the 1940 Act, our board of directors (our “Board of Directors”) has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our investments based on our established investment valuation policy (the “Policy”). Our Board of Directors reviews valuation recommendations that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator with oversight and direction from the Valuation Officer, employed by the Administrator (the “Valuation Team”). There is no single standard for determining fair value (especially for privately-held businesses), as fair value depends upon the specific facts and circumstances of each individual investment. In determining the fair value of our investments, the Valuation Team, led by the Valuation Officer, uses the Policy, which has been approved by our Board of Directors, and each quarter our Board of Directors reviews the Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Policy consistently.

Use of Third Party Valuation Firms

The Valuation Team engages third party valuation firms to provide independent assessments of fair value of certain of our investments. Currently, the third-party service provider Standard & Poor’s Securities Evaluation, Inc. (“SPSE”) provides estimates of fair value on our non-syndicated debt investments.

The Valuation Team generally assigns SPSE’s estimates of fair value to our debt investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company. The Valuation Team corroborates SPSE’s estimates of fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques discussed below. The Valuation Team’s estimates of value on a specific debt investment may significantly differ from SPSE’s. When this occurs, our Board of Directors reviews whether the Valuation Team has followed the Policy and whether the Valuation Team’s recommended value is reasonable in light of the Policy and other facts and circumstances and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Team’s recommended valuation.

Valuation Techniques

In accordance with ASC 820, the Valuation Team uses the following techniques when valuing our investment portfolio:

•

Total Enterprise Value—In determining the fair value using a total enterprise value (“TEV”), the Valuation Team first calculates the TEV of the portfolio company by incorporating some or all of the following factors: the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and other specific portfolio company attributes; the earnings of the portfolio company (the trailing or projected twelve month revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)); EBITDA or revenue multiples obtained from our indexing methodology whereby the original transaction EBITDA or revenue multiple at the time of our closing is indexed to a general subset of comparable disclosed transactions and EBITDA or revenue multiples from recent sales to third parties of similar securities in similar industries; a comparison to publicly traded securities in similar industries, and other pertinent factors. The Valuation Team generally references industry statistics and may use outside experts when gathering this information. Once the TEV is determined for a portfolio company, the Valuation Team then allocates the TEV to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative priority in the capital structure. Generally, the Valuation Team uses TEV to value our equity investments and, in the circumstances where we have the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company, our debt investments.

TEV is primarily calculated using EBITDA or revenue multiples; however, TEV may also be calculated using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a net present value using estimated risk-adjusted discount rates, which incorporate adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity risks. Generally, the Va luation Team uses the DCF to calculate the TEV to corroborate estimates of value for our equity investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company or for debt of credit impaired portfolio companies.

•

Yield Analysis—The Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our debt investments using the yield analysis, which includes a DCF calculation and the Valuation Team’s own assumptions, including, but not limited to, estimated remaining life, current market yield, current leverage, and interest rate spreads. This technique develops a modified discount rate that incorporates risk premiums including, among other things, increased probability of default, increased loss upon default and increased liquidity risk. Generally, the Valuation Team uses the yield analysis to corroborate both estimates of value provided by SPSE and market quotes.

•

Market Quotes—For our syndicate investments for which a limited market exists, fair value is generally based on readily available and reliable market quotations which are corroborated by the Valuation Team (generally by using the yield analysis explained above). In addition, the Valuation Team assesses trading activity for similar syndicated investments and evaluates variances in quotations and other market insights to determine if any available quoted prices are reliable. Typically, the Valuation Team uses the lower indicative bid price (“IBP”) in the bid-to-ask price range obtained from the respective originating syndication agent’s trading desk on or near the valuation date. The Valuation Team may take further steps to consider additional information to validate that price in accordance with the Policy.

•

Investments in Funds—For equity investments in other funds, where we cannot effectuate a sale, the Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our uninvested capital at par value and of our invested capital at the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the fund. The Valuation Team may also determine fair value of our investments in other investment funds based on the capital accounts of the underlying entity.

In addition to the above valuation techniques, the Valuation Team may also consider other factors when determining fair values of our investments, including, but not limited to: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties’ guaranties; any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company; and the markets in which the portfolio company operates. If applicable, new non-syndicated debt and equity investments made during the three months ended June 30, 2014 are generally valued at original cost basis.

Fair value measurements of our investments may involve subjective judgments and estimates and due to the inherent uncertainty of determining these fair values, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investment may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which it is recorded.

Refer to Note 3—Investments for additional information regarding fair value measurements and our application of ASC 820.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums, acquisition costs, and amendment fees and the accretion of original issue discounts (“OID”), is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if our qualitative assessment indicates that the debtor is unable to service its debt or other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. However, we remain contractually entitled to this interest. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to the cost basis, depending upon management’s judgment. Generally, non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, or, due to a restructuring, the interest income is deemed to be collectable. As of June 30, 2014, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $52.1 million, or 16.2% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of approximately $13.6 million, or 5.6% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of September 30, 2013, two portfolio companies were on non-accrual with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $39.5 million, or 12.6% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of approximately $5.8 million, or 2.4% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio.

We currently hold, and we expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain OID or PIK provisions. We recognize OID for loans originally issued at discounts and recognize the income over the life of the obligation based on an effective yield calculation. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in a loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of a loan and recorded as income over the life of the obligation and therefore, the actual collection of PIK income may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. To maintain our ability to be taxed as a RIC, we may need to pay out both of our OID and PIK non-cash income amounts in the form of distributions, even though we have not yet collected the cash on either.

As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had 20 and 19 original OID loans, respectively, primarily from the syndicated investments in our portfolio. We recorded OID income of $59 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $69 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID investments as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, totaled $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, we had three investments which had a PIK interest component. We recorded PIK income of $80 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $62 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. We collected $0 PIK interest in cash during each of the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Other Income Recognition

We generally record success fees upon receipt of cash. Success fees are contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company, typically from an exit or sale. We received an aggregate of $1.6 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted from $0.5 million related to the early payoff of Thibaut Acquisition Co. at par in June 2014, $0.5 million prepayment by Francis Drilling Fluids Ltd. (“FDF”) in February 2014 and $0.6 million received as a result of our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark Acquisition, LLC (“Lindmark”) and the ensuing pay down of our debt investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. We received $1.1 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, which resulted from the early payoff of Westlake Hardware, Inc. at par in December 2012. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, our aggregate off-balance sheet success fee receivable on our accruing debt investments totaled approximately $11.0 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

We record prepayment fees upon receipt of cash. Prepayment fees are contractually due at the time we exit an investment, based on the respective investment’s prepayment fee schedule. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we received an aggregate of $0.3 million in prepayment fees from the early payoffs at par of one of our proprietary investments and four of our syndicated investments (including one partial paydown). During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we received an aggregate of $0.7 million of prepayment fees which resulted from the early payoffs of seven of our syndicated investments during the period.

Dividend income on equity investments is accrued to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we have the option to collect such amounts in cash. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an aggregate of $1.0 million of dividend income, net of estimated income taxes payable, which resulted from $0.2 million on our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.7 million on our investment in FedCap Partners, LLC and $0.1 million on our preferred equity investment in Funko, LLC. We did not record any dividend income during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Success fees, prepayment fees and dividend income are all recorded in other income in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we received $0.4 million in May 2014 from a legal settlement related to a previously exited portfolio company that was recorded in other income during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, “Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements,” (“ASU 2013-08”) which amends the criteria that define an investment company, clarifies the measurement guidance and requires new disclosures for investment companies. Under ASU 2013-08, an entity already regulated under the 1940 Act is automatically an investment company under the new GAAP definition, so we do not believe there is an impact on our financial position or results of operations from adopting this standard. We will continue to assess the additional disclosure requirements. ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

Fair Value

In accordance with ASC 820, our investments’ fair value is determined to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. ASC 820 also establishes the following three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of a financial instrument as of the measurement date.

•

Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical financial instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active or inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 inputs are in those markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers; and

•

Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the financial instrument and can include the Valuation Team’s assumptions based upon the best available information.

When a determination is made to classify our investments within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, such determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, observable inputs (or, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, all of our investments were valued using Level 3 inputs and during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no investments transferred into or out of Level 1, 2 or 3.

The following table presents our investments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, by caption on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and by security type and input level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy:

Fair value measurements can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the valuation inputs. Changes in market yields, discounts rates, leverage, EBITDA or EBITDA multiples (or revenue or revenue multiples), each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of our investments. Generally, an increase or decrease in market yields, discount rates or leverage or a decrease in EBITDA or EBITDA multiples (or revenue or revenue multiples) may result in a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of certain of our investments.

The following tables provide the changes in fair value, broken out by security type, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 for all investments for which we determine fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors.

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser is controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On July 15, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the annual renewal of the Advisory Agreement through August 31, 2015.

The following table summarizes the base management fees, loan servicing fees, incentive fees and associated credits for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, reflected in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Credit to Fees From Adviser—other^(B)	$	(67	)	$	(555	)	$	(1,272	)	$	(1,395	)

^(A)

Average total assets subject to the base management fee is defined as total assets, including investments made with proceeds of borrowings, less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings, valued at the end of the applicable quarter within the respective period and adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period.

^(B)	Reflected as a line item on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

^(C)

Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Adviser makes available significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. The Adviser may also provide other services to our portfolio companies under other agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. We credit 100.0% of these fees against the base management fee that we would otherwise be required to pay to the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a percentage of certain of such fees is retained by the Adviser.

^(D)

Our Board of Directors accepted an unconditional and irrevocable voluntary waiver from the Adviser to reduce the annual 2.0% base management fee on senior syndicated loan participations to 0.5%, to the extent that proceeds resulting from borrowings were used to purchase such senior syndicated loan participations, for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

^(E)	Our Board of Directors accepted an unconditional and irrevocable voluntary waiver from the Adviser to reduce the income-based incentive fee to the extent net investment income did not 100.0% cover distributions to common stockholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is computed and payable quarterly and is assessed at an annual rate of 2.0%, computed on the basis of the value of our average total assets at the end of the two most recently-completed quarters (inclusive of the current quarter), which are total assets, including investments made with proceeds of borrowings, less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings. In addition, the base management fee is adjusted by certain credits from the Adviser as explained in the notes to the table above.

Loan Servicing Fee

In addition, our Adviser services, administers and collects on the loans held by Business Loan, in return for which our Adviser receives a 2% annual fee payable monthly by Business Loan based on the monthly aggregate balance of loans held by Business Loan in accordance with our line of credit. All loan servicing fees are credited back to us by our Adviser. Overall, the base management fee due to our Adviser cannot exceed 2% of total assets (as reduced by cash and cash equivalents pledged to creditors) during any given fiscal year.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts: an income-based incentive fee and a capital gains-based incentive fee. The income-based incentive fee rewards the Adviser if our quarterly net investment income (before giving effect to any incentive fee) exceeds 1.75% of our net assets (the “hurdle rate”). We will pay the Adviser an income-based incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

•

no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate (7.0% annualized);

•

100.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and

•

20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).

The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains-based incentive fee that will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20.0% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year. In determining the capital gains-based incentive fee payable to the Adviser, we calculate the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, and the entire portfolio’s aggregate net unrealized capital depreciation, if any, as of the date of the calculation. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since our inception. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the original cost of such investment since our inception. The entire portfolio’s aggregate net unrealized capital depreciation, if any, equals the sum of the difference, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the original cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable fiscal year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less the entire portfolio’s aggregate net unrealized capital depreciation, if any. If this number is positive at the end of such fiscal year, then the capital gains-based incentive fee for such year equals 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains-based incentive fees paid in respect of our portfolio in all prior years. No capital gains-based incentive fee has been recorded since our inception through June 30, 2014, as cumulative net unrealized capital depreciation has exceeded cumulative realized capital gains net of cumulative realized capital losses.

Additionally, in accordance with GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires us to record a capital gains-based incentive fee equal to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains-based incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. GAAP requires that the capital gains-based incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains-based incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. No GAAP accrual for a capital gains-based incentive fee has been recorded since our inception through June 30, 2014.

Administration Agreement

The Administration Agreement provides that we pay separately for administrative services equal to our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary, who also serves as the President of the Administrator, and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of administrative expenses is generally derived by multiplying the Administrator’s total allocable expenses by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of the quarter in comparison to the total assets at the beginning of the quarter of all funds managed by the Adviser and administered by the Administrator under similar agreements. On July 15, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the annual renewal of the Administration Agreement through August 31, 2015.

In addition, as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, other net co-investment expenses payable to Gladstone Investment (for reimbursement purposes) totaled $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively. These expenses were paid in full in the quarter subsequent to being incurred and have been included in other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Notes from Former Employees

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had one outstanding note receivable from one former employee, who is now an employee of the Adviser. The note was for the exercise of options granted under the Amended and Restated 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, which has since been terminated. The note requires the quarterly payment of interest at the market rate in effect at the date of issuance, has a term of nine years and has been recorded as a reduction of net assets. The note was evidenced by a full recourse note that is due upon maturity or 60 days following termination of employment with the Adviser and the shares of common stock purchased with the proceeds of the note is posted as collateral. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we received $1.8 million in principal repayments on another note receivable from a former employee, who is now an employee of the Adviser. That note receivable was paid off as of September 30, 2013. We did not receive any principal repayments on the note receivable from the former employees during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. We recognized interest income from all employee notes of $3 and $11 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively and $22 and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

The following table is a summary of the remaining note issued to a current employee of the Adviser for the exercise of stock options as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

On September 7, 2010, we entered into a redemption agreements (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Laura Gladstone, a Managing Director of the Adviser and the daughter of Mr. Gladstone, in connection with the maturity of secured promissory notes executed by Ms. Gladstone on July 13, 2006, in the principal amount of $0.3 million (the “Note”). Ms. Gladstone originally executed the Notes to facilitate her payment of the exercise price of certain stock options (the “Options”) to acquire shares of our common stock. Concurrently with the execution of the Note, we, together with Ms. Gladstone entered into a stock pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Gladstone granted to us a first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the respective Pledge Agreements), which included 18,334 shares of our common stock that Ms. Gladstone acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Options (collectively, the “Pledged Shares”). The Redemption Agreement provides that, pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, we will automatically accept and retire the Pledged Shares in partial or full satisfaction, as applicable, of Ms. Gladstone’s obligations to us under the Notes at such time, if ever, that the trading price of our common stock reaches $15 per share. In entering into the Redemption Agreement, we reserved all of our existing rights under the Note and the Pledge Agreement, including, but not limited to, the ability to foreclose on the Pledged Collateral at any time. During the year ended September 30, 2013, Ms. Gladstone paid down $0.1 million of the principal of her Note, leaving a principal balance of $0.2 million outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. In connection with Ms. Gladstone’s pay downs of principal, we have not released any of our first priority security interests on her Pledged Shares.

In accordance with ASC 505, “Equity,” receivables from employees for the issuance of capital stock to employees prior to the receipt of cash payment should be reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Therefore, our remaining note totaling $0.2 million as of June 30, 2014 was recorded as a note receivable from employee and is included in the net assets section of our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2014, we determined that this note was still recourse.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 26, 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into Amendment No. 6 to the fourth amended and restated credit agreement (our “Credit Facility”) to extend the revolver period end date for one year to January 19, 2016. Our $137.0 million revolving Credit Facility was arranged by Key Equipment Finance Inc. (effective January 1, 2014, now known as Key Equipment Finance, a division of KeyBank National Association) (“Key Equipment”) as administrative agent. Keybank National Association (“Keybank”), Branch Banking and Trust Company and ING Capital LLC also joined our Credit Facility as committed lenders. Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility may be expanded from $137.0 million to a maximum of $237.0 million through the addition of other committed lenders to the facility. The interest rates on advances under our Credit Facility generally bear interest at a 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.75% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on undrawn amounts when our facility is drawn more than 50% and 1.0% per annum on undrawn amounts when our facility is drawn less than 50%. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by January 19, 2016, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before November 30, 2016. Prior to the April 26, 2013 amendment, on January 29, 2013, we, through Business Loan, amended our Credit Facility to remove the LIBOR minimum of 1.5% on advances. We incurred fees of $0.7 million in April 2013 and $0.6 million in January 2013 in connection with these amendments, which are being amortized through our Credit Facility’s revolver period end date of January 19, 2016. All other terms of our Credit Facility remained generally unchanged at the time of these amendments.

The following tables summarize noteworthy information related to our Credit Facility (at cost) as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Commitment (unused) fees incurred	$	221		$	207		$	707		$	644

^(A)	Excludes the impact of deferred financing fees.

Interest is payable monthly during the term of our Credit Facility. Available borrowings are subject to various constraints imposed under our Credit Facility, based on the aggregate loan balance pledged by Business Loan, which varies as loans are added and repaid, regardless of whether such repayments are prepayments or made as contractually required.

Our Credit Facility also requires that any interest or principal payments on pledged loans be remitted directly by the borrower into a lockbox account with Key Equipment as custodian. Key Equipment, which also serves as the trustee of the account, generally remits the collected funds to us once a month.

Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require Business Loan to maintain its status as a separate legal entity, prohibit certain significant corporate transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions), and restrict material changes to our credit and collection policies without the lenders’ consent. Our Credit Facility also generally limits payments on distributions to our stockholders to our aggregate net investment income for each of the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Business Loan is also subject to certain limitations on the type of loan investments it can apply as collateral towards the borrowing base in order to receive additional borrowing availability under our Credit Facility, including restrictions on geographic concentrations, sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life and lien property. Our Credit Facility further requires Business Loan to comply with other financial and operational covenants, which obligate Business Loan to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of 20 obligors required in the borrowing base. Additionally, we are subject to a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in our Credit Facility to include our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock) of $190.0 million plus 50.0% of all equity and subordinated debt raised after January 19, 2012, which equates to $220.5 million as of June 30, 2014, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200.0%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code. As of June 30, 2014, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $242.0 million, asset coverage of 290% and an active status as a BDC and RIC. In addition, we had 31 obligors in the borrowing base of our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

On July 15, 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Keybank, effective July 9, 2013 and expiring January 19, 2016, for a notional amount of $35.0 million that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our revolving line of credit pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility. The one month LIBOR cap is set at 5.0%. We incurred a premium fee of $62 in conjunction with this agreement, which is recorded in other assets on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate cap agreement was $0 and $4, respectively.

Fair Value

We elected to apply the fair value option of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” specifically for our Credit Facility, which was consistent with our application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of our Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis which includes a DCF calculation and also takes into account the Valuation Team’s own assumptions, including, but not limited to, the estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of our Credit Facility was 4.03% and 4.31%, respectively. Generally, an increase or decrease in the discount rate used in the DCF calculation, may result in a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, our Credit Facility was valued using Level 3 inputs and any changes in its fair value is recorded in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of other on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables present our Credit Facility carried at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Level 3 of the hierarchy established by ASC 820 and the changes in fair value of our Credit Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The fair value of the collateral under our Credit Facility was approximately $223.1 million and $229.3 million in aggregate as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 6. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In May 2014, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.4 million shares of 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $61.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $58.5 million, a portion of which was used to voluntarily redeem all 1.5 million outstanding shares of our then existing 7.125% Series 2016

Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock”) and the remainder was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, we recognized a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, which has been reflected on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and which is primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance costs at the time of redemption.

We incurred $2.5 million in total offering costs related to the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which are recorded as deferred financing fees on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the redemption period ending June 30, 2021. The shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock have a redemption date of June 30, 2021, and are traded under the ticker symbol “GLADO” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.75% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $4.1 million per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock on June 30, 2021 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions on such share accumulated to (but excluding) the date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”). We may additionally be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock early, at the Redemption Price, in the event of the following: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control of us, we would be required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 240.0%, we are required to redeem a portion of the outstanding Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of the Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock at our option at the Redemption Price, at any time on or after June 30, 2017. If we fail to redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption required on June 30, 2021, or in any other circumstance in which we are required to mandatorily redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, then the fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0% for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2014, we have not redeemed any of our outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock.

In November 2011, we completed a public offering of approximately 1.5 million shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $38.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $36.4 million, a portion of which was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We incurred $2.1 million in total offering costs related to these transactions, which were recorded as deferred financing fees on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and were amortized over the redemption period ending December 31, 2016. In May 2014, when we voluntarily redeemed our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, the remaining unamortized costs were fully written off as part of the realized loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above. Our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock provided for a fixed dividend equal to 7.125% per year, payable monthly (which equated in total to approximately $2.7 million per year). The shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred were traded under the ticker symbol of “GLADP” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In connection with the voluntary redemption, shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock were removed from listing on May 22, 2014.

Our Board of Directors declared and paid the following monthly distributions on our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

^(A)	We redeemed all of the outstanding shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock on May 23, 2014 and at that time, we paid the May dividends in full for record holders as of May 20, 2014.

Our Board of Directors declared and paid the following monthly distributions on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 (no distributions were made on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock prior to June 30, 2014):


Fiscal Year	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Distribution per Series 2021 Term Preferred Share
2014	May 29, 2014	June 19, 2014	June 30, 2014^(B)	$	0.19687500

		Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014:		$	0.19687500

^(B)	The dividend declared on May 29, 2014 on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock covers the partial period from May 20, 2014 through May 31, 2014 and also covers the June 2014 dividend.

In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet and we have recorded our term preferred stock at cost as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The related distribution payments to preferred stockholders are treated as dividend expense on our statement of operations as of the ex-dividend date. For disclosure purposes, the fair value, based on the last quoted closing price, for our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2014, was approximately $63.6 million and for our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2013, was approximately $40.0 million. We consider our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock to be a Level 1 liability within the ASC 820 hierarchy.

Aggregate preferred stockholder distributions declared and paid on our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, were approximately $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, were approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Aggregate preferred stockholder distributions declared and paid on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, were each approximately $0.5 million. For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid by us to preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock. We currently have the ability to issue up to $239.0 million in securities under our Registration Statement, through one or more transactions. We issued approximately 2.4 million shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock under our Registration Statement in May 2014. No other securities have been issued to date under our Registration Statement.

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we are required to distribute to our stockholders 90.0% of our investment company taxable income. The amount to be paid out as distributions to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors quarterly and is based on management’s estimate of the fiscal year earnings. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares three monthly distributions each quarter.

The federal income tax characterization of all distributions will be reported to our stockholders on the Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 at the end of each calendar year. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 92.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from ordinary income, with the remainder of approximately 8.0% deemed to be from a return of capital. For each of October, November and December 2013, approximately 100.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from ordinary income. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 92.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from ordinary income with the remainder of approximately 8.0% deemed to be from a return of capital. The return of capital in both the 2013 and 2012 calendar years resulted primarily from GAAP realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

Our Board of Directors declared and paid the following monthly distributions to common stockholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:


Fiscal Year	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Distribution per Common Share
2014	October 8, 2013	October 22, 2013	October 31, 2013	$	0.07

		Nine Months Ended June 30, 2013:		$	0.63

Aggregate distributions declared and paid to our common stockholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, were each approximately $13.2 million, and were declared based on estimates of net investment income for the respective periods. The characterization of the common stockholder distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 will be determined at fiscal yearend based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the full year. Such a characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual full year characterization. If we characterized our common stockholder distributions as of June 30, 2014, 100.0% would be a return of capital and 0.0% would be from ordinary income, primarily due to GAAP realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, common stockholder distributions declared and paid exceeded our accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account Term Preferred Stock dividends), resulting in a partial return of capital of approximately $1.3 million. The return of capital primarily resulted from GAAP realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended September 30, 2013, we recorded the following adjustments for book-tax differences to reflect tax character.


	June 30, 2014			September 30, 2013
Overdistributed net investment income	$	(2,297	)	$	(373	)
Accumulated net realized losses		13,214			2,151
Capital in excess of par value		(15,511	)		(1,778	)

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. We are required to establish reserves for litigation matters where those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. When loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable, we do not establish reserves. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe that loss contingencies, if any, arising from pending investigations, litigation or regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. Additionally, based on current knowledge, we do not believe such loss contingencies are probable and estimable and therefore, as of June 30, 2014, we have not established reserves for such loss contingencies.

Escrow Holdbacks

From time to time, we will enter into arrangements as it relates to exits of certain investments whereby specific amounts of the proceeds are held in escrow to be used to satisfy potential obligations as stipulated in the sales agreements. We record escrow amounts in restricted cash and cash equivalents on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We establish a contingent liability against the escrow amounts if we determine that it is probable and estimable that a portion of the escrow amounts will not be ultimately received at the end of the escrow period. The aggregate contingent liabilities recorded against the escrow amounts was $0 as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and are recorded in other liabilities on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Financial Commitments and Obligations

We have lines of credit with certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn. Since these commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

For our investments in certain private equity funds, we may have uncalled capital commitments, depending on the agreed upon terms of our committed ownership interest. These capital commitments usually have a specific date in the future set as a closing date, at which time the commitment is either funded or terminates. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had uncalled capital commitments related to our partnership interest in Leeds Novamark Capital I, L.P.

The following table summarizes the amounts of our unused line of credit and uncalled capital commitments as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, which are not reflected as a liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities:


	June 30, 2014		September 30, 2013
Unused line of credit commitments	$	7,305	$	6,524
Uncalled capital commitment		2,827		2,700

Historical financial condition and results of operations and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of financial condition or results of operations for any future periods.

OVERVIEW

General

We were incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on May 30, 2001. We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of established private businesses in the United States (“U.S.”). Our investment objectives are to: (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established businesses that we believe will provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders that grow over time; and (2) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. To achieve our objectives, our investment strategy is to invest in several categories of debt and equity securities, with each investment generally ranging from $5 million to $30 million, although investment size may vary, depending upon our total assets or available capital at the time of investment. We aim to maintain a portfolio consisting of approximately 95.0% debt investment and 5.0% equity investment, at cost.

We focus on investing in small and medium-sized middle market private businesses in the U.S. that meet certain criteria, including, but not limited to, the following: the potential for growth in cash flow, adequate assets for loan collateral, experienced management teams with a significant ownership interest in the borrower, profitable operations based on the borrower’s cash flow, reasonable capitalization of the borrower (usually by leveraged buyout funds or venture capital funds) and, to a lesser extent, the potential to realize appreciation and gain liquidity in our equity position, if any. We lend to borrowers that need funds to finance growth, restructure their balance sheets or effect a change of control. We invest by ourselves or jointly with other funds and/or management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity. If we are participating in an investment with one or more co-investors, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone.

We operate as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and have elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a BDC and RIC, we are subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code.

We are externally managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered with the SEC and an affiliate of ours, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser manages our investment activities. We have also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of ours and the Adviser, whereby we pay separately for administrative services.

Our shares of common stock and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the trading symbols “GLAD” and “GLADO,” respectively.

Business Environment

The strength of the global economy and the U.S. economy in particular, continues to be uncertain, although economic conditions generally appear to be improving, albeit slowly. The impacts from the 2008 recession in general, and the resulting disruptions in the capital markets in particular, have had lingering effects on our liquidity options and have increased our cost of debt and equity capital. Many of our portfolio companies, as well as those small and medium-sized companies that we evaluate for prospective investment, remain vulnerable to the impacts of the uncertain economy. Concerns linger over the ability of the U.S. Congress to pass additional debt ceiling legislation prior to March 2015, given the budget impasse that resulted in the partial shutdown of the U.S. government in October 2013. Uncertain political, regulatory and economic conditions could disproportionately impact some of the industries in which we have invested, causing us to be more vulnerable to losses in our portfolio, resulting in the number of our non-performing assets to increase and the fair market value of our portfolio to decrease.

Additionally, there has been increased competitive pressure in the middle market lending marketplace from other BDCs and investment companies, as well as small banks for senior and senior subordinated debt. We have seen an increase in refinancing and recapitalization transactions; however, there is increased yield compression on higher leveraged and increasingly riskier investments in the middle market segment we focus on. We do not know if market conditions will continue to improve or if adverse conditions will recur and we do not know the full extent to which the inability of the U.S. government to address its fiscal condition in the near and long term will affect us. If market instability persists or intensifies, we may experience difficulty in raising capital. In summary, we believe we are in a protracted economic recovery; however, we do not know the full extent to which the impact of the lingering recessionary economic conditions will affect us or our portfolio companies.

Portfolio Activity

While conditions remain somewhat challenging in the marketplace, we are seeing a number of new investment opportunities that are consistent with our investment objectives and strategies. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we invested an aggregate of $73.0 million in 12 new proprietary and syndicate investments, resulting in a net expansion in our overall portfolio of two portfolio companies, due to eight portfolio companies paying off early at par for an aggregate of $36.6 million and our sale of two of our portfolio companies for combined net proceeds of $4.7 million.

In addition, in July 2012, the SEC granted us an exemptive order that expands our ability to co-invest with certain of our affiliates by permitting us, under certain circumstances, to co-invest with Gladstone Investment Corporation (“Gladstone Investment”) and any future BDC or closed-end management investment company that is advised by the Adviser (or sub-advised by the Adviser if it controls the fund) or any combination of the foregoing subject to the conditions in the SEC’s order. We believe this ability to co-invest has enhanced and will continue to enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies. We co-invested with Gladstone Investment in four new proprietary investments during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as discussed under “—Investment Highlights.”

Regulatory Compliance

Challenges in the current market are intensified for us by certain regulatory limitations under the Code and the 1940 Act, as well as contractual restrictions under the agreement governing our $137.0 million revolving line of credit (our “Credit Facility,” described more fully under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Revolving Credit Facility”) that further constrain our ability to access the capital markets. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90.0% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of our net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses. Because we are required to satisfy the RIC annual stockholder distribution requirement, and because the illiquidity of many of

our investments makes it difficult for us to finance new investments through the sale of current investments, our ability to make new investments is highly dependent upon external financing. Our external financing sources include the issuance of equity securities, debt securities or other leverage, such as borrowings under our Credit Facility. Our ability to seek external debt financing, to the extent that it is available under current market conditions, is further subject to the asset coverage limitations of the 1940 Act that require us to have an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act) of at least 200.0% on our senior securities representing indebtedness and our senior securities that are stock.

We believe that market conditions have affected and may continue to affect the trading price of our common stock and our ability to finance new investments through the issuance of equity. On July 29, 2014, the closing market price of our common stock was $10.13, a 17.5% premium to our June 30, 2014, net asset value (“NAV”) per common share of $8.62. During the last six months, our common stock has generally traded at a premium to our NAV, however from time to time over the last four years, our common stock has traded below NAV per share. When our common stock trades below NAV per share, the 1940 Act restricts our ability to obtain additional capital by issuing common stock. Generally, the 1940 Act provides that we may not issue and sell our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per share, other than to our then existing common stockholders pursuant to a rights offering, without first obtaining approval from our stockholders and our independent directors. To date, we have never issued common stock below our then current NAV per share. At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 13, 2014, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per share subject to certain limitations (including, but not limited to, that the number of shares issued and sold pursuant to such authority does not exceed 25.0% of our then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale) for a period of one year from the date of approval, provided that our board of directors (our “Board of Directors”) makes certain determinations prior to any such sale.

The current uncertain economic conditions may also continue to cause the value of the collateral securing some of our loans to fluctuate, as well as the value of our equity investments, which has impacted and may continue to impact our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility. Additionally, our Credit Facility contains covenants regarding the maintenance of certain minimum loan concentrations and net worth covenants, which are affected by the decrease in value of our portfolio. Failure to meet these requirements would result in a default which, if we are unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders, would cause an acceleration of our repayment obligations under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility’s covenants.

We expect that, given these regulatory and contractual constraints in combination with current market conditions, debt and equity capital may be costly for us to access in the near term. However, we believe that our recent issuance of 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock (our “Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock,” described more fully under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity—Term Preferred Stock”), our Credit Facility amendments which decreased the interest rate on advances by removing the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor of 1.5% and extended the maturity one year until 2016 along with our ability to co-invest with Gladstone Investment and certain other affiliated investment funds, should increase our ability to make investments in businesses that we believe will help us achieve attractive long-term returns for our stockholders. During the first nine months of the 2014 fiscal year, we have continued to focus on building our pipeline with deals that we believe are generally recession resistant and making investments that meet our objectives and strategies and provide appropriate returns, given the risks.

Investment Highlights

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we invested an aggregate of $73.0 million in 12 new portfolio companies and an aggregate of $10.2 million to existing portfolio companies. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we sold our investments in two portfolio companies and we received scheduled and unscheduled contractual principal repayments of approximately $47.3 million from existing portfolio companies, including eight early payoffs at par. Since our initial public offering in August 2001, we have made 366 different loans to, or investments in, 184 companies for a total of approximately $1.3 billion, before giving effect to principal repayments on investments and divestitures.

Investment Income

Total interest income decreased slightly by 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due primarily to three early payoffs at par offset by one new syndicate investment during the period. The level of interest income from investments is directly related to the principal balance of the interest-bearing investment portfolio outstanding during the period multiplied by the weighted average yield. The weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2014, was $285.3 million, compared to $287.8 million for the prior year period, a decrease of less than 1.0%. The annualized weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investment portfolio is based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments and remained consistent at 11.5% and 11.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, three of our portfolio companies were on non-accrual, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $52.1 million, or 16.2%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $53.7 million, or 15.9%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective June 1, 2014 we placed Midwest Metal Distribution, Inc. (“Midwest Metal”) on non-accrual. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold our investment in one portfolio company that had been on non-accrual status. There were no other new non-accruals added and no non-accruals placed on accrual during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, other income consisted primarily of $0.7 million in dividend income received from Fedcap Partners, LLC (“FedCap”), $0.5 million in success fees received from the early payoff at par of Thibaut, $0.4 million in legal settlement proceeds received related to an investment which was previously sold and $0.2 million in success fees received related to our sale of substantially all of the assets of Lindmark Acquisition, LLC (“Lindmark”) and the ensuing pay down of our debt investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2013, consisted of $0.2 million in aggregate prepayment fees which related to the early payoffs of three of our syndicated investments at par during the period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, net of credits from the Adviser, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2014, by 23.6%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to increases in the net base management and incentive fees, as well as the increase in the dividend expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The increase of $0.7 million in the net incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was due primarily to the partial incentive fee waiver in the prior year period and also to the increase in other income during the three months ended June 30, 2014. In the prior year period, there was a partial incentive fee waiver provided by the Adviser to ensure distributions to stockholders were covered entirely by net investment income. There was no incentive fee waiver needed during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The increase of $0.2 million in the net base management fee during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was due primarily to an increase in the average total assets subject to the base management fee during the current period.

The base management fee, incentive fee and associated credits are computed quarterly, as described under “Investment Advisory and Management Agreement” in Note 4 of the notes to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are summarized in the following table:

The increase of $0.3 million in dividend expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the higher monthly distribution amount on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock which was issued in May 2014, as compared to our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, which was issued in November 2011 (resulting from more shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock being issued and outstanding, partially offset by a lower rate). Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity—Term Preferred Stock”) for further discussion of our term preferred stock.

Realized Gains (Losses) and Unrealized Depreciation

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments and Escrows

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were minimal realized gains on investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and escrows of $2.4 million, which primarily consisted of a realized loss of $2.9 million resulting from the sale of Kansas Cable Holdings, Inc. (“KCH”) during the period for net proceeds of $0.6 million. This realized loss was partially offset by realized gains of $0.5 million, which consisted of a combined $0.4 million of escrowed proceeds received in connection with exits of two investments in fiscal year 2012 and an aggregated $0.1 million of unamortized discounts related to the early payoffs at par of three syndicated investments during the period.

Realized Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million is comprised primarily of the unamortized deferred financing costs at the time of the voluntary redemption of our then existing Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock in May 2014.

Net Unrealized Depreciation

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are actually realized. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $22.8 million, which included reversals totaling $0.1 million in cumulative unrealized appreciation. Excluding reversals, we had $22.7 million in net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, consisted of approximately $24.4 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately $1.7 million of appreciation on our equity investments.

The net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) across our investments for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:

The largest driver of our net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was due to a decrease in financial and operating performance and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in comparable multiples used in valuing RBC Acquisition Corp. (“RBC”) ($18.2 million), Midwest ($3.5 million) and Precision Acquisition Group Holdings, Inc. (“Precision”) ($3.4 million). This unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by unrealized appreciation due to an incremental improvement in the financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, an increase in comparable multiples used in valuing Defiance Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“Defiance”) ($2.4 million), WP Evenflo Group Holdings, Inc. ($1.0 million) and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. (“FDF”) ($0.7 million).

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $4.7 million, which included the reversal of $2.9 million in unrealized depreciation related to the sale of KCH. Excluding reversals, we had $7.4 million in net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, consisted of approximately $6.2 million on our debt investments and approximately $1.2 million on our equity investments. The net realized (losses) gains and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) across our investments for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:

The primary drivers of our net unrealized depreciation of investments for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were due to decreased financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, decreases in certain comparable multiples used in valuing several portfolio companies, most notably Defiance and Precision. This unrealized depreciation was partially offset by the reversal of unrealized depreciation of $2.9 million due to the sale of KCH and unrealized appreciation of $0.7 million on RBC, which was due to an incremental improvement in this portfolio company’s financial and operational performance when compared to the prior quarter.

As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than its cost basis by approximately $85.3 million, and our entire investment portfolio was valued at 75.7% of cost, as compared to cumulative net unrealized depreciation of $62.5 million and a valuation of our entire portfolio at 82.4% of cost as of March 31, 2014. This decrease quarter over quarter represents net unrealized depreciation of our investments of $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Of our current investment portfolio, 12 portfolio companies originated before December 31, 2007, representing 31.1% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio, were valued at 47.0% of cost and include our three investments on non-accrual status. Our 37 portfolio companies which originated after December 31, 2007, representing 68.9% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio, were valued at 88.6% of cost and none of these portfolio companies are on non-accrual status.

We believe that our aggregate investment portfolio was valued at a depreciated value as of June 30, 2014, primarily due to the lingering effects of the recession that began in 2008 and its affect on the performance of certain of our portfolio companies and also because we were invested in certain industries that were disproportionately impacted by the recession. The cumulative net unrealized depreciation of our investments does not have an impact on our current ability to pay distributions to stockholders; however, it may be an indication of future realized losses, which could ultimately reduce our income available for distribution to stockholders.

Net Unrealized (Appreciation) Depreciation of Other

Net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of other is primarily made up of the net change in the fair value of our Credit Facility during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are realized. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of borrowings of $1.1 million compared to net unrealized depreciation of borrowings of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our Credit Facility was fair valued at $36.6 million and $47.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Investment Income

Total interest income decreased slightly by 1.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due primarily to several early payoffs at par during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, offset by new investments funding later during the period. The level of interest income from investments is directly related to the principal balance of the interest-bearing investment portfolio outstanding during the period, multiplied by the weighted average yield. The weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was $282.7 million, compared to $286.2 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 1.2%. The annualized weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investment portfolio is based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments and remained consistent at 11.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, three of our portfolio companies were on non-accrual, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $52.1 million, or 16.2%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual with an aggregate debt cost of approximately $53.7 million, or 15.9%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective January 1, 2014, we placed Heartland Communications Group on non-accrual status and effective June 1, 2014 we placed Midwest Metal on non-accrual status. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we sold our investment in LocalTel that had been on non-accrual status. See “Overview—Investment Highlights” for more information. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we sold our investments in three portfolio companies that had been on non-accrual status and wrote off our investment in one portfolio company that had been on non-accrual status. There were no other new non-accruals added and no non-accruals placed on accrual during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, other income consisted primarily of $0.7 million in dividend income received from Fedcap, $0.5 million in success fees received related to the early payoff of Thibaut at par, $0.4 million in legal settlement proceeds received related to a portfolio company previously sold, $0.5 million in prepaid success fees received from FDF, $0.1 million in prepayment fees received from POP, $0.3 million in dividend and other fees received from FDF and $0.6 million in success fees received related to our sale of substantially all of the assets of Lindmark and the ensuing pay down of our debt investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, other income consisted primarily of $1.1 million in success fees received from the early payoff of Westlake Hardware, Inc. (“Westlake”) in December 2012 at par and an aggregate of $0.7 million in prepayment fees related to early payoffs of seven syndicate investments at par during the period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, net of credits to fees from the Adviser, increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, by 6.3%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to increases in the net incentive fee, interest expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, and other expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on our Credit Facility.

The increase of $0.7 million in the net incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was due primarily to the larger partial incentive fee waiver in the prior year period and, to a lesser extent, the increase in other income during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. During both nine month periods, there was a partial incentive fee waiver provided by the Adviser to ensure distributions to stockholders were covered entirely by net investment income.

The increase of $0.3 million in dividend expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the higher monthly distribution amount on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which was issued in May 2014, as compared to our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, which was issued in November 2011 (resulting from more shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock being issued and outstanding, partially offset by a lower rate). Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity—Term Preferred Stock”) for further discussion of our term preferred stock.

The increase of $0.3 million in other expenses during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the receipt of certain previously reserved for reimbursable deal expenses in the prior year period. Additionally there were increased due diligence expenses related to certain prospective portfolio companies during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, when compared to the prior year period.

Realized Losses and Unrealized Depreciation

Net Realized Loss on Investments and Escrows

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and escrows of $13.3 million, which primarily consisted of realized losses of $10.8 million due to our sale of LocalTel for proceeds contingent on an earn-out and $2.8 million due to our sale of BAS for net proceeds of $4.7 million.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and escrows of $5.4 million, which primarily consisted of realized losses of $2.4 million due to our sale of Viapack, Inc. (“Viapack”) for net proceeds of $5.9 million, $0.9 million due to the write off of Access Television Network, Inc. (“Access TV”) and $2.9 million due to our sale of KCH for net proceeds of $0.6 million. These realized losses were partially offset by realized gains of $0.8 million, which consisted of a combined $0.5 million of escrowed proceeds received in connection with exits on two investments in fiscal year 2012 and an aggregated $0.3 million of unamortized discounts related to the early payoffs at par of ten syndicated investments during the period.

Realized Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Net Unrealized Depreciation

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are actually realized. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $9.9 million, which included reversals totaling $16.7 million in cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily related to our sales of LocalTel and BAS. Excluding reversals, we had $26.6 million in net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, consisted of approximately $26.3 million on our debt investments and approximately $0.3 million on our equity investments.

The net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) across our investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:

The largest driver of our net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was due to a decrease in financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in comparable multiples used in valuing RBC ($21.1 million) and Midwest ($13.5 million). This unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio companies due to incremental improvements in their financial and operational performance, and to a lesser extent, an increase in comparable multiples used in valuations, most notably that of Defiance ($3.6 million). During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we invested $2.7 million in additional preferred equity capital in RBC.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $7.4 million, which included the reversal of an aggregate of $10.7 million in combined unrealized depreciation primarily related to the sale of Viapack, the write off of Access TV and the sale of KCH. Excluding reversals, we had $18.2 million in net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation is comprised of approximately $0.5 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately $6.9 million of depreciation on our equity investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The net realized (losses) gains and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) across our investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:

The largest driver of our net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, was the notable net unrealized depreciation of RBC of $6.7 million due to a decline in its financial and operational performance. As noted earlier, we acquired a controlling position in RBC and infused $2.0 million of additional equity capital in the company in the form of preferred equity in March 2013. In addition, there was unrealized depreciation of Defiance of $2.9 million which was also due to a decline in its financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the comparable multiples used to estimate the fair value. This unrealized depreciation was partially offset by the reversal of unrealized depreciation of $6.7 million on Viapack, $2.9 million on KCH, $0.6 million on Westlake and $0.9 million on Access TV, all related to sales, write offs or payoffs during the period, as well as unrealized appreciation of Sunshine Media Holdings of $1.2 million due to an incremental improvement in the financial and operational performance of this portfolio company.

As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than its cost basis by approximately $85.3 million, and our entire investment portfolio was valued at 75.7% of cost, as compared to cumulative net unrealized depreciation of $75.4 million and a valuation of our entire portfolio at 77.3% of cost as of September 30, 2013. This represents net unrealized depreciation of our investments of $9.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Of our current investment portfolio, 12 portfolio companies originated before December 31, 2007, representing 31.1% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio, were valued at 47.0% of cost and include our three investments on non-accrual status. Our 37 portfolio companies originated after December 31, 2007, representing 68.9% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio, were valued at 88.6% of cost, none of these portfolio companies are on non-accrual status.

Net Unrealized (Appreciation) Depreciation of Other

Net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of other is primarily made up of the net change in the fair value of our Credit Facility during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are realized. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of borrowings of ($1.3) million compared to net unrealized depreciation of borrowings of $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Our Credit Facility was fair valued at $36.6 million and $47.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily generated from the interest payments on debt securities that we receive from our portfolio companies, as well as net proceeds received through repayments or sales of our investments. We utilize this cash primarily to fund new investments, make interest payments on our Credit Facility, make distributions to our stockholders, pay management fees to the Adviser, and for other operating expenses. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was $0.8 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $19.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The difference was primarily due to an increase in new investments, partially offset by a decrease in principal repayments during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, we had loans to, syndicated participations in, or equity investments in 49 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $350.4 million. As of June 30, 2013, we had loans to, syndicated participations in and/or equity investments in 46 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $353.8 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 of $5.3 million consisted primarily of $13.2 million of distributions to common stockholders and $11.8 million of net repayments on our Credit Facility. These net uses were partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, net of the voluntary redemption of the then existing Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 of $13.0 million consisted primarily of distributions to common stockholders of $13.2 million.

Distributions to Stockholders

Common Stock Distributions

To qualify to be taxed as a RIC and thus avoid corporate-level federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders, we are required to distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90.0% of our investment company taxable income. Additionally, the covenants in our Credit Facility generally restrict the amount of distributions to stockholders that we can pay out to be no greater than our net investment income in each fiscal year. In accordance with these requirements, we declared and paid monthly cash distributions of $0.07 per common share for each of the nine months from October 2013 through June 2014, which totaled an aggregate of $13.2 million. In July 2014, our Board of Directors declared a monthly distribution of $0.07 per common share for each of July, August and September 2014. Our Board of Directors declared these distributions to our stockholders based on our estimates of our investment company taxable income for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, which includes the three months ended December 31, 2012, our aggregate distributions to common stockholders totaled approximately $17.7 million, which were declared based on estimates of our investment company taxable income for that fiscal year. For our fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, our common stockholder distributions declared and paid exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account our preferred stock dividends), resulting in a partial return of capital of approximately $1.3 million. The return of capital was primarily due to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes. The characterization of the common stockholder distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 will be determined at fiscal yearend based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the full year. Such a characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual full year characterization. If we characterized our common stockholder distributions as of June 30, 2014, 100.0% would be a return of capital and 0.0% would be from ordinary income, primarily due to GAAP realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

Preferred Stock Distributions

Our Board of Directors also declared, and we paid, monthly cash distributions of $0.1484375 per share of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock for each of the nine months from October 2013 through May 2014, which totaled an aggregate of $2.3 million. In May 2014, our Board of Directors declared, and we paid, a combined May and June 2014 cash distribution of $0.1968750 per share of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock. This covered a prorated portion of May 2014 from the time the stock was issued and outstanding and the full month of June 2014. In July 2014, our Board of Directors declared a monthly distribution of $0.140625 per share of Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock for each of July, August and September 2014. In accordance with GAAP, we treat these monthly distributions to preferred stockholders as an operating expense. For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid by us to preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and have been characterized as ordinary income to our preferred stockholders since our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock was issued in November 2011 and we anticipate the same characterization for our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock.

Equity

Registration Statement

We filed Post-effective Amendment No. 1 to our universal shelf registration statement (our “Registration Statement”) on Form N-2 (File No. 333-185191) with the SEC on December 23, 2013, and subsequently filed Post-effective Amendment No. 2 on February 14, 2014, which the SEC declared effective on February 21, 2014. Our Registration Statement registers an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock. We currently have the ability to issue up to $239.0 million in securities under our Registration Statement through one or more transactions. We issued approximately 2.4 million shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock under our Registration in May 2014. No other securities have been issued under our Registration Statement.

Common Stock

We anticipate issuing equity securities to obtain additional capital in the future. However, we cannot determine the terms of any future equity issuances or whether we will be able to issue equity on terms favorable to us, or at all. Additionally, when our common stock is trading below NAV per share, as it has from time to time over the last four years, the 1940 Act restricts our ability to obtain additional capital by issuing common stock. Generally, the 1940 Act provides that we may not issue and sell our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per common share, other than to our then existing common stockholders pursuant to a rights offering, without first obtaining approval from our stockholders and our independent directors. As of July 29, 2014, our closing market price was $10.13 per common share, a 17.5% premium to our June 30, 2014 NAV per common share of $8.62. To the extent that our common stock trades at a market price below our NAV per common share, we will generally be precluded from raising equity capital through public offerings of our common stock, other than pursuant to stockholder approval or a rights offering to existing common stockholders.

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 13, 2014, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per share subject to certain limitations (including, but not limited to, that the number of shares issued and sold pursuant to such authority does not exceed 25.0% of our then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale) for a period of one year from the date of approval, provided that our Board of Directors makes certain determinations prior to any such sale. We have not issued any common stock since February 2008 and have never issued common stock below the then current NAV per share.

Term Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Registration Statement, in May 2014, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.4 million shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and a 6.75% rate. Gross proceeds totaled $61.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $58.5 million, a portion of which was used to voluntarily redeem all 1.5 million outstanding shares of our then existing Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock and the remainder was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, we recognized a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, which has been reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and which is primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance costs at the time of redemption.

We incurred $2.5 million in total offering costs related to the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which are recorded as deferred financing fees on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the redemption period ending June 30, 2021. The shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock have a redemption date of June 30, 2021, and are traded under the ticker symbol of “GLADO” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.75% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $4.1 million per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock on June 30, 2021 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions on such share accumulated to (but excluding) the date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”). We may additionally be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock early, at the Redemption Price, in the event of the following: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control of us, we would be required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 240.0%, we are required to redeem a portion of the outstanding Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of the Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock at our option at the Redemption Price, at any time on or after June 30, 2017. If we fail to redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption required on June 30, 2021, or in any other circumstance in which we are required to mandatorily redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, then the fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0% for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2014, we have not redeemed any of our outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to our prior registration statement, in November 2011, we completed a public offering of approximately 1.5 million shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and a 7.125% rate. Gross proceeds totaled $38.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $36.4 million, a portion of which was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We incurred $2.1 million in total offering costs related to these transactions, which were recorded as deferred financing fees on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and were amortized over the redemption period ending December 31, 2016. In May 2014 when our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock was voluntarily redeemed, the remaining unamortized costs at that time were fully written off as part of the realized loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above. Our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock provided for a fixed dividend equal to 7.125% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $2.7 million per year). The shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred were traded under the ticker symbol of “GLADP” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In connection with the voluntary redemption, shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock were removed from listing on May 22, 2014.

Our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock has been recorded as a liability in accordance with GAAP and, as such, affects our asset coverage, exposing us to additional leverage risks. In addition, our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 26, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Business Loan, LLC (“Business Loan”), entered into Amendment No. 6 to the fourth amended and restated credit agreement (our “Credit Facility”) to extend the revolver period end date for one year to January 19, 2016. Our $137.0 million revolving Credit Facility was arranged by Key Equipment Finance Inc. (effective January 1, 2014, now known as Key Equipment Finance, a division of KeyBank National Association) (“Key Equipment”) as administrative agent. Keybank, Branch Banking and Trust Company and ING Capital LLC also joined our Credit Facility as committed lenders. Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility may be expanded from $137.0 million to a maximum of $237.0 million through the addition of other committed lenders to the facility. The interest rates on advances under our Credit Facility generally bear interest at a 30-day LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on undrawn amounts when our facility is drawn more than 50% and 1.0% per annum on undrawn amounts when our facility is drawn less than 50%. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by January 19, 2016, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before November 30, 2016. Prior to the April 26, 2013 amendment, on January 29, 2013, we, through Business Loan, amended our Credit Facility to remove the LIBOR minimum of 1.5% on advances. We incurred fees of $0.7 million in April 2013 and $0.6 million in January 2013 in connection with these amendments, which are being amortized through our Credit Facility’s revolver period end date of January 19, 2016. All other terms of our Credit Facility remained generally unchanged at the time of these amendments.

Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require Business Loan to maintain its status as a separate legal entity, prohibit certain significant corporate transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions), and restrict material changes to our credit and collection policies without the lenders’ consents. Our Credit Facility also generally limits payments on distributions to our stockholders to the aggregate net investment income for each of the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Business Loan is also subject to certain limitations on the type of loan investments it can apply as collateral towards the borrowing base in order to receive additional borrowing availability credit under our Credit Facility, including restrictions on geographic concentrations, sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life and lien property. Our Credit Facility further requires Business Loan to comply with other financial and operational covenants, which obligate Business Loan to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of 20 obligors required in the borrowing base. Additionally, we are subject to a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in our Credit Facility to include our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock) of $190.0 million plus 50.0% of all equity and subordinated debt raised after January 19, 2012, which equates to $220.5 million as of June 30, 2014, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200.0%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code. As of June 30, 2014, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $242.0 million, asset coverage of 290% and an active status as a BDC and RIC. In addition, we had 31 obligors in the borrowing base of our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014 we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

When investing in certain private equity funds, we may have uncalled capital commitments depending on the agreed upon terms of our committed ownership interest. These capital commitments usually have a specific date in the future set as a closing date, at which time the commitment is either funded or terminates. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had uncalled capital commitments related to our partnership interest in Leeds Novamark Capital I, L.P.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014, at cost:


	Payments Due by Fiscal Years
Contractual Obligations^(A)	Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years		Total
Credit Facility^(B)	$	—	$	35,100	$	—	$	—	$	35,100
Term preferred stock		—		—		—		61,000		61,000
Interest on contractual obligations^(C)		1,639		15,537		8,235		7,206		32,617

Total	$	1,639	$	50,637	$	8,235	$	68,206	$	128,717

^(A)	Excludes our unused line of credit and uncalled capital commitments to our portfolio companies in an aggregate amount of $7.3 million as of June 30, 2014.

^(B)	Principal balance of borrowings under our Credit Facility, based on the current contractual maturity as of June 30, 2014 due to the revolving nature of the facility. In April 2013, we amended our Credit Facility to extend the revolver period end date until January 2016.

^(C)

Includes estimated interest payments on our Credit Facility and dividend obligations on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock. The amount of interest calculated for purposes of this table was based upon rates and balances of our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2014. Dividend payments on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock assume quarterly dividend declarations and monthly dividend distributions to stockholders through the date of mandatory redemption.

Of our interest bearing debt investments as of June 30, 2014, 44.0% have a success fee component, which enhances the yield on our debt investments. Unlike PIK income, we do not recognize success fees as income until they are received in cash. As a result, as of June 30, 2014, we have an aggregate off-balance sheet success fee receivable on our accruing debt investments of $11.0 million, or approximately $0.53 per common share, that would be owed to us based on our current portfolio if fully paid off. Due to their contingent nature, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect all of these success fees or know the timing of such collections.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified our investment valuation policy (the “Policy”), which is described below, as our most critical accounting policy.

Investment Valuation

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Recognition

•

Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical financial instruments in active markets;

•

Board Responsibility

In accordance with the 1940 Act, our Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our investments based on the established Policy. Our Board of Directors reviews valuation recommendations that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator with oversight and direction from the Valuation Officer, employed by the Administrator (the “Valuation Team”). There is no single standard for determining fair value (especially for privately-held businesses), as fair value depends upon the specific facts and circumstances of each individual investment. In determining the fair value of our investments, the Valuation Team, led by the Valuation Officer, uses the Policy, which has been approved by our Board of Directors, and each quarter our Board of Directors reviews the Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Policy consistently.

Use of Third Party Valuation Firms

The Valuation Team generally assigns SPSE’s estimates of fair value to our debt investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company. The Valuation Team corroborates SPSE’s estimates of fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques discussed below. The Valuation Team’s estimate of value on a specific debt investment may significantly differ from SPSE’s. When this occurs, our Board of Directors reviews whether the Valuation Team has followed the Policy and whether the Valuation Team’s recommended value is reasonable in light of the Policy and other facts and circumstances and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Team’s recommended valuation.

Valuation Techniques

In accordance with ASC 820, the Valuation Team uses the following techniques when valuing our investment portfolio:

•

TEV is primarily calculated using EBITDA or revenue multiples; however, TEV may also be calculated using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a net present value using estimated risk-adjusted discount rates, which incorporate adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity risks. Generally, the Valuation Team uses the DCF to calculate TEV to corroborate estimates of value for our equity investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company or for debt of credit impaired portfolio companies.

•

Investments in Funds—For equity investments in other funds, where we cannot effectuate a sale, the Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our uninvested capital at par value and of our invested capital at the NAV provided by the fund. The Valuation Team may also determine fair value of our investments in other investment funds based on the capital accounts of the underlying entity.

In addition to the above valuation techniques, the Valuation Team may also consider the other factors when determining fair values of our investments, including but not limited to: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties’ guaranties; any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company; and the markets in which the portfolio company operates. If applicable, new non-syndicated debt and equity investments made during the three months ended June 30, 2014 are generally valued at original cost basis.

Refer to Note 3—Investments in the accompanying notes to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding fair value measurements and our application of ASC 820.

Credit Monitoring and Risk Rating

The Adviser monitors a wide variety of key credit statistics that provide information regarding our portfolio companies to help us assess credit quality and portfolio performance and, in some instances, that is used as inputs in our valuation techniques. Generally, we, through the Adviser, participate in periodic board meetings of our portfolio companies in which we hold board seats and also require them to provide annual audited and monthly unaudited financial statements. Using these statements or comparable information and board discussions, the Adviser calculates and evaluates certain credit statistics.

The Adviser risk rates all of our investments in debt securities. The Adviser does not risk rate our equity securities. For syndicated loans that have been rated by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act), the Adviser generally uses the average of two corporate level NRSRO’s risk ratings for such security. For all other debt securities, the Adviser uses a proprietary risk rating system. The Adviser’s risk rating system uses a scale of 0 to >10, with >10 being the lowest probability of default. This system is used to estimate the probability of default on debt securities and the expected loss if there is a default. These types of systems are referred to as risk rating systems and are used by banks and rating agencies. The risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities we hold. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we modified our risk rating model to incorporate additional factors in our qualitative and quantitative analysis. While the overall process did not change, we believe the additional factors enhance the quality of the risk ratings of our investments. No adjustments were made to prior periods as a result of this modification.

For the debt securities for which the Adviser does not use a third-party NRSRO risk rating, it seeks to have its risk rating system mirror the risk rating systems of major risk rating organizations, such as those provided by an NRSRO. While the Adviser seeks to mirror the NRSRO systems, we cannot provide any assurance that the Adviser’s risk rating system will provide the same risk rating as an NRSRO for these securities. The following chart is an estimate of the relationship of the Adviser’s risk rating system to the designations used by two NRSROs as they risk rate debt securities of major companies. Because the Adviser’s system rates debt securities of companies that are unrated by any NRSRO, there can be no assurance that the correlation to the NRSRO set out below is accurate. The Adviser believes its risk rating would be higher than a typical NRSRO risk rating because the risk rating of the typical NRSRO is designed for larger businesses. However, the Adviser’s risk rating has been designed to risk rate the securities of smaller businesses that are not rated by a typical NRSRO. Therefore, when the Adviser uses its risk rating on larger business securities, the risk rating is higher than a typical NRSRO rating. The Adviser believes the primary difference between the it’s risk rating and the rating of a typical NRSRO is that the Adviser’s risk rating uses more quantitative determinants and includes qualitative determinants that it believes are not used in the NRSRO rating. It is the Adviser’s understanding that most debt securities of medium-sized companies do not exceed the grade of BBB on an NRSRO scale, so there would be no debt securities in the middle market that would meet the definition of AAA, AA or A. Therefore, the Adviser’s scale begins with the designation >10 as the best risk rating which may be equivalent to a BBB from an NRSRO; however, no assurance can be given that a >10 on the Adviser’s scale is equal to a BBB or Baa2 on an NRSRO scale. The scale below gives an indication of the probability of default and the magnitude of the expected loss if there is a default.


Adviser’s System	First NRSRO	Second NRSRO	Description^(A)
>10	Baa2	BBB	Probability of Default (PD) during the next 10 years is 4.0% and the Expected Loss upon Default (EL) is 1.0% or less
10	Baa3	BBB-	PD is 5% and the EL is 1.0% to 2.0%
9	Ba1	BB+	PD is 10% and the EL is 2.0% to 3.0%
8	Ba2	BB	PD is 16% and the EL is 3.0% to 4.0%
7	Ba3	BB-	PD is 17.8% and the EL is 4.0% to 5.0%
6	B1	B+	PD is 22% and the EL is 5.0% to 6.5%
5	B2	B	PD is 25% and the EL is 6.5% to 8.0%
4	B3	B-	PD is 27% and the EL is 8.0% to 10.0%
3	Caa1	CCC+	PD is 30% and the EL is 10.0% to 13.3%
2	Caa2	CCC	PD is 35% and the EL is 13.3% to 16.7%
1	Caa3	CC	PD is 65% and the EL is 16.7% to 20.0%
0	N/A	D	PD is 85% or there is a payment default and the EL is greater than 20%

^(A)	The default rates set forth are for a 10 year term debt security. If a debt security is less than 10 years, then the probability of default is adjusted to a lower percentage for the shorter period, which may move the security higher on this risk rating scale.

The following table lists the risk ratings for all non-syndicated loans in our portfolio as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, representing approximately 78.2% and 80.5%, respectively, of the principal balance of all debt investments in our portfolio at the end of each period:


Rating	As of June 30, 2014		As of September 30, 2013
Highest		9.0		10.0
Average		5.4		5.9
Weighted Average		5.0		5.5
Lowest		3.0		2.0

For syndicated loans that are currently rated by an NRSRO, the Adviser generally uses the average of two corporate level NRSRO ratings available and then converts it into a rating using the Adviser’s system per the table above. The following table lists the Adviser’s risk ratings for all syndicated loans in our portfolio that were rated by an NRSRO as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, representing approximately 19.5% and 13.7%, respectively, of the principal balance of all debt investments in our portfolio at the end of each period:


Rating	As of June 30, 2014		As of September 30, 2013
Highest		10.0		5.5
Average		5.3		4.8
Weighted Average		5.4		4.9
Lowest		4.0		2.5

The following table lists the risk ratings for all syndicated loans in our portfolio that were not rated by an NRSRO. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, these loans represented 2.3% and 5.8%, respectively, of the principal balance of all debt investments in our portfolio at the end of each period:


Rating	As of June 30, 2014		As of September 30, 2013
Highest		4.0		5.0
Average		4.0		4.5
Weighted Average		4.0		4.6

Tax Status

Federal Income Taxes

We intend to continue to maintain our qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we must also meet certain annual stockholder distribution requirements. To satisfy the RIC annual distribution requirement, we must distribute to stockholders at least 90.0% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Our policy generally is to make distributions to our stockholders in an amount up to 100.0% of our investment company taxable income.

In an effort to limit certain federal excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute to our stockholders, during each calendar year, an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98.0% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year, and (3) any ordinary income and capital gain net income from preceding years that were not distributed during such years. Under the RIC Modernization Act (the “RIC Act”), we are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after September 30, 2011, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under the previous regulation.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income Recognition

As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we had 20 and 19 original OID loans, respectively, primarily from the syndicated investments in our portfolio. We recorded OID income of $59 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $69 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID investments as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, totaled $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, we had three investments which had a PIK interest component. We recorded PIK income of $80 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $62 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. We collected $0 PIK interest in cash in each of the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Other Income Recognition

We generally record success fees upon receipt of cash. Success fees are contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company, typically from an exit or sale. We received an aggregate of $1.6 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted from $0.5 million related to the early payoff at par of Thibaut in June 2014, $0.5 million prepayment by FDF in February 2014 and $0.6 million related to our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark and the ensuing pay down of our debt investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. We received $1.1 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, which resulted from the early payoff of Westlake at par in December 2012. As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, our aggregate off-balance sheet success fee receivable on our accruing debt investments totaled approximately $11.0 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

Dividend income on equity investments is accrued to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we have the option to collect such amounts in cash. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an aggregate of $1.0 million of dividend income, net of estimated income taxes payable, which resulted from $0.2 million on our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.7 million on our investment in FedCap and $0.1 million on our preferred equity investment in Funko, LLC. We did not record any dividend income during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for a description and our adoption of recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to financial market risks. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by us; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.

The primary risk we believe we are exposed to is interest rate risk. Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. We use a combination of debt and equity capital to finance our investing activities. We may use interest rate risk management techniques from time to time 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.

We target to have approximately 15.0% of the loans in our portfolio at fixed rates, with approximately 85.0% made at variable rates or variable rates with a floor. As of June 30, 2014, our portfolio consisted of the following:


Variable rates	84.8	%
Fixed rates	15.2

Total:	100.0	%

All of our variable-rate debt investments have rates generally associated with the 30-day LIBOR.

In July 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Keybank, effective July 9, 2013 and expiring January 19, 2016, for a notional amount of $35.0 million that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our revolving line of credit pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility. This agreement will entitle us to receive payments, if any, equal to the amount by which interest payments on the current notational amount at the one month LIBOR exceed the payments on the current notional amount at 5.0%. The agreement therefore helps mitigate our exposure to increases in interest rates on our borrowings on our Credit Facility, which are at variable rates. The use of a cap agreement involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Cap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Although we will not enter into any such agreements unless we believe that the other party to the transaction is credit worthy, we bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under such agreements in the event of default or bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty. As of June 30, 2014, our interest rate cap agreement had a minimal fair value.

There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, as filed with the SEC on November 20, 2013.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2014 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

b)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls for the three months ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
