Financial Statements. Additionally, under Section 55 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), we may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time such
acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. As of June 30, 2020, our investment in Funko Acquisition Holdings, LLC (Funko) was considered a
non-qualifying asset under Section 55 of the 1940 Act and represented less than 0.1% of total investments, at fair value. (B)
Unless indicated otherwise, all cash interest rates are indexed to
30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR or L), which was 0.2% as of June 30, 2020. If applicable,
paid-in-kind interest rates are noted separately from the cash interest rate. Certain securities are subject to an interest rate floor. The cash interest rate is the
greater of the floor or 30-day LIBOR plus a spread. Due dates represent the contractual maturity date. (C)
Security is non-income producing. (D)
Category percentages represent the fair value of each category and subcategory as a percentage of net assets as
of June 30, 2020. (E)
Unless indicated otherwise, all of our investments are valued using Level 3 inputs within the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 3 
Investments in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. (F)
Where applicable, aggregates all shares of a class of stock owned without regard to specific series owned
within such class (some series of which may or may not be voting shares) or aggregates all warrants to purchase shares of a class of stock owned without regard to specific series of such class of stock such warrants allow us to purchase. (G)
Debt security is on non-accrual status. (H)
$5.1 million of the debt security was participated to a third party, but is accounted for as collateral
for a secured borrowing under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and presented as Secured borrowing on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilitiesas of June 30, 2020. (I)
Debt security has a fixed interest rate. (J)
Represents the principal balance for debt investments and the number of shares/units held for equity
investments. Warrants are represented as a percentage of ownership, as applicable. (K)
Fair value was based on internal yield analysis or on estimates of value submitted by ICE Data Pricing and

One of our affiliated funds, Gladstone Capital Corporation, co-invested
with us in this portfolio company pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. (N)

GLADSTONE INVESTMENT CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2020 (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA AND AS OTHERWISE INDICATED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION Gladstone Investment Corporation (Gladstone Investment) was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on
February 18, 2005, and completed an initial public offering on June 22, 2005. The terms the Company, we, our and us all refer to Gladstone Investment and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are
an externally advised, 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), and are applying the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial
Services-Investment Companies (ASC 946). In addition, we have elected to be treated for U.S. 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.). Debt investments primarily take the form of two types of loans: secured
first lien loans and secured second lien loans. Equity investments primarily take the form of preferred or common equity (or warrants or options to acquire the foregoing), often in connection with buyouts and other recapitalizations. Our investment
objectives are to: (i) 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 (ii) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses, generally in
combination with the aforementioned debt securities, that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. We intend that our investment portfolio over time will consist of approximately 75.0% in debt
investments and 25.0% in equity investments, at cost. Gladstone Business Investment, LLC (Business Investment), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ours, was established on August 11, 2006 for the sole purpose of holding certain investments pledged as collateral under our line of credit. The financial statements of Business Investment are consolidated with those of Gladstone Investment. We
also have significant subsidiaries (as defined under Rule 1-02(w) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) Regulation S-X) 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 affiliate of ours and an
SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the Advisory Agreement). Administrative services are provided by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the
Administrator), an affiliate of ours and the Adviser, pursuant to an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement). Refer to Note 4  Related Party Transactions for more information regarding these
arrangements. 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, 10 and 12 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have not included in
this quarterly report all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we do not consolidate portfolio company investments. Under the investment company rules
and regulations pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, codified in ASC 946, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another
investment company, except that ASC 946 provides for the consolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to the investment company or its consolidated subsidiaries. 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 months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily
indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 or any future interim period. 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 March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2020.  19

Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements and these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Investment
Valuation Policy Accounting Recognition We
record our investments at fair value in accordance with the FASB ASC 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 generally measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and include investments
charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation primarily reflects the change in investment fair values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or
losses are realized. Board Responsibility In
accordance with the 1940 Act, our board of directors (Board of Directors) has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and determining, in good faith, the fair value of our investments for which market quotations are not readily
available based on our investment valuation policy (which has been approved by our Board of Directors) (the Policy). Such review occurs in three phases. First, prior to its quarterly meetings, the Board of Directors receives written
valuation recommendations and supporting materials provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer (the Valuation Team). Second, the Valuation Committee of our
Board of Directors (comprised entirely of independent directors) meets to review the valuation recommendations and supporting materials, presented by the chief valuation officer. Third, after the Valuation Committee concludes its meeting, it and the
chief valuation officer present the Valuation Committees findings to the entire Board of Directors so that the full Board of Directors may review and determine in good faith the fair value of such investments in accordance with the Policy. 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 chief valuation officer, uses the Policy, and each quarter the Valuation Committee and Board of Directors review the Policy
to determine if changes thereto are advisable and 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. ICE Data Pricing and Reference Data, LLC (ICE), a valuation specialist, generally provides estimates of fair value on our debt investments. The
Valuation Team generally assigns ICE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 ICE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 ICEs. When this occurs, our Valuation Committee and Board of Directors
review whether the Valuation Team has followed the Policy and whether the Valuation Teams recommended fair value is reasonable in light of the Policy and other facts and circumstances before determining fair value. We may engage other independent valuation firms to provide earnings multiple ranges, as well as other information, and evaluate such information for
incorporation into the total enterprise value (TEV) of certain of our investments. Generally, at least once per year, we engage an independent valuation firm to value or review the valuation of each of our significant equity investments,
which includes providing the information noted above. The Valuation Team evaluates such information for incorporation into our TEV, including review of all inputs provided by the independent valuation firm. The Valuation Team then makes a
recommendation to our Valuation Committee and Board of Directors as to the fair value. Our Board of Directors reviews the recommended fair value and whether it is reasonable in light of the Policy and other relevant facts and circumstances
before determining fair value.  20

##### Table of Contents

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 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 obtained from our indexing methodology whereby the original transaction EBITDA at the time of our closing is
indexed to a general subset of comparable disclosed transactions and EBITDA 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 reviews industry statistics and may use outside experts when gathering this information. Once the TEV is determined for a portfolio company, the Valuation Team generally allocates the TEV to the portfolio
companys securities based on the facts and circumstances of the securities, which typically results in the allocation of fair value to securities based on the 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; however, TEV may also be calculated using revenue multiples or 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 a DCF analysis 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.  

Yield Analysis  The Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our debt investments for
which we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company using the yield analysis, which includes a DCF calculation and assumptions that the Valuation Team believes market participants would use, including: 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 ICE and market quotes.  

Market Quotes  For our investments for which a limited market exists, we generally base fair value
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 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. For securities that are publicly traded, we generally base fair value on the closing market price of the securities we hold as of the reporting date. For restricted securities that
are publicly traded, we generally base fair value on the closing market price of the securities we hold as of the reporting date less a discount for the restriction, which includes consideration of the nature and term to expiration of the
restriction.  

Investments in Funds  For equity investments in other funds for which we cannot effectuate a sale of
the fund, the Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our invested capital at the net asset value (NAV) provided by the fund. Any invested capital that is not yet reflected in the NAV provided by the fund is valued at par
value. 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 valuation techniques listed above, the Valuation Team may also consider other factors when determining the fair value of our investments,
including: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties guaranties, any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company, timing of expected loan repayments, and the markets in which the
portfolio company operates.  21

##### Table of Contents

Fair value measurements of our investments may involve subjective judgments and estimates and, due to the
uncertainty inherent in valuing these securities, the determinations of fair value may fluctuate from period to period and may differ materially from the values that could be obtained if a ready market for these securities existed. Our NAV could be
materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments are materially different from the values that we ultimately realize upon our disposal of such securities. 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. Revenue Recognition Interest Income Recognition Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums, amendment fees and acquisition costs and the accretion of discounts, 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 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 collectible. As of June 30, 2020, our loans to B+T Group Acquisition, Inc. (B+T), Horizon Facilities Services, Inc. (Horizon), The Mountain Corporation (The
Mountain), PSI Molded Plastics, Inc. (PSI Molded), and SOG Specialty Knives & Tools, LLC (SOG) were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of
$94.8 million, or 20.9% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate fair value of $73.6 million, or 17.2% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2020, certain of
our loans to B+T, The Mountain, PSI Molded, and SOG were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $63.5 million, or 14.0% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and
an aggregate fair value of $43.5 million, or 10.1% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio. Paid-in-kind (PIK) interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in the loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. As of June 30,
2020 and March 31, 2020, we did not have any loans with a PIK interest component. Success Fee Income Recognition We record success fees as income when earned, which often occurs upon receipt of cash. Success fees are generally contractually due upon a change of control in
a portfolio company, typically resulting from an exit or sale, and are non-recurring. Dividend Income
Recognition We accrue dividend income on preferred and common equity securities to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we
have the option to collect such amounts in cash or other consideration. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents are generally cash and cash equivalents held in escrow received as part of an investment exit. Restricted cash and cash
equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Deferred Financing and Offering Costs Deferred financing and offering costs consist of costs incurred to obtain financing, including lender fees and legal fees. Certain costs associated with our
revolving line of credit are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the revolving line of credit. Costs associated with the issuance of our mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock are presented as discounts to the liquidation value of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective
series of preferred stock. Refer to Note 5  BorrowingsandNote 6  Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock for further discussion.  22

Related Party Fees We are party to the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, which is owned and controlled by our chairman and chief executive officer. In accordance with the
Advisory Agreement, we pay the Adviser fees as compensation for its services, consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee. Additionally, we pay the Adviser a loan servicing fee as compensation for its services as servicer under the
terms of the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 30, 2013, as amended (the Credit Facility). We are also party to
the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, which is owned and controlled by our chairman and chief executive officer, whereby we pay separately for administrative services. Refer to Note 4  Related Party Transactionsfor additional information regarding these related party fees and agreements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value (ASU 2018-13), which modifies the disclosure requirements in ASC 820. ASU 2018-13 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, and we adopted ASU 2018-13 effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13
did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS Fair Value In accordance with ASC 820, we determine the
fair value of our investments to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between willing 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.  

Level1  inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical financial instruments in active markets;  

Level2  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  

Level3  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, 2020 and March 31, 2020, all of our investments were valued using Level 3 inputs within the ASC 820

Fair value as of both June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 excludes our investment in Funko with a fair
value of $48 and $33, respectively, which was valued using Level 2 inputs. Fair value measurements can be sensitive to changes in
one or more of the valuation inputs. Changes in discount rates, 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/(decrease) in discount
rates or a (decrease)/increase in EBITDA or EBITDA multiples (or revenue or revenue multiples) may result in a (decrease)/increase in the fair value of certain of our investments.  26

609,887 Receivables from Portfolio Companies Receivables from portfolio companies represent non-recurring costs that we incurred on behalf of portfolio companies.
Such receivables, net of any allowance for uncollectible receivables, are included in Other assets, net on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We generally maintain an allowance for uncollectible receivables
from portfolio companies when the receivable balance becomes 90 days or more past due or if it is determined, based upon managements judgment, that the portfolio company is unable to pay its obligations. We
write-off accounts receivable when we have exhausted collection efforts and have deemed the receivables uncollectible. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, we had gross receivables from portfolio
companies of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible receivables was $0.9 million as of both June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020. NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Transactions
with the Adviser We pay the Adviser certain fees as compensation for its services, such fees consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee,
as described in the Advisory Agreement, and a loan servicing fee for the Advisers role as servicer pursuant to the Credit Facility, each as described below. On July 14, 2020, our Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors
who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of either party, approved the annual renewal of the Advisory Agreement through August 31, 2021. Two of our executive officers, David Gladstone (our chairman and chief executive officer) and Terry Lee Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating
officer) serve as directors and executive officers of the Adviser, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone. David Dullum (our president) is also executive vice president of private equity (buyouts) of the Adviser. Michael
LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrators president, general counsel and secretary), is also executive vice president of administration of our Adviser.  29

Average total assets subject to the base management fee is defined in the Advisory Agreement 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 quarters within the respective periods and adjusted appropriately for any share
issuances or repurchases during the periods. (B)
Reflected as a line item on our accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. (C)
The capital gains-based incentive fees are recorded in accordance with GAAP and do not necessarily reflect
amounts contractually due under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Base Management Fee The base management fee is payable quarterly to the Adviser pursuant to our Advisory Agreement and is assessed at an annual rate of 2.0%, computed on the basis
of the value of our average gross 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, valued at the end of the applicable quarters within the respective period and adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period. Additionally, 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 certain agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. Such services may include: (i) assistance obtaining, sourcing or structuring credit
facilities, long term loans or additional equity from unaffiliated third parties; (ii) negotiating important contractual financial relationships; (iii) consulting services regarding restructuring of the portfolio company and financial
modeling as it relates to raising additional debt and equity capital from unaffiliated third parties; and (iv) taking a primary role in interviewing, vetting and negotiating employment contracts with candidates in connection with adding and
retaining key portfolio company management team members. The Adviser non-contractually, unconditionally, and irrevocably credits 100% of any fees received for such services 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 small percentage of certain of such fees, totaling $26 and $50 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
was retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement, at cost, for tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser, primarily related to the valuation of portfolio companies. Loan Servicing Fee The Adviser also services the loans
held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Business Investment (the borrower under the Credit Facility), in return for which the Adviser receives a 2.0% annual fee based on the monthly aggregate outstanding balance of loans pledged under the Credit
Facility. Since Business Investment is a consolidated subsidiary of ours, coupled with the fact that the total base management fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement cannot exceed 2.0% of total assets (less any uninvested cash or
cash equivalents resulting from borrowings) during any given calendar year, we treat payment of the loan servicing fee pursuant to the Credit Facility as a pre-payment of the base management fee under the
Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, these loan servicing fees are 100% non-contractually, unconditionally, and irrevocably credited back to us by the Adviser.  30

##### Table of Contents

Incentive Fee The incentive fee payable to the Adviser under our Advisory Agreement 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, which we define as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable or contractually due but not payable during the period, at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, adjusted
appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period (the Hurdle Rate). The income-based incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable
quarterly to the Adviser and is computed as follows:  

No incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee
net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate;  

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% of our net assets, adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases
during the period, in any calendar quarter; and  

20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if
any, that exceeds 2.1875% of our net assets, adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period, in any calendar quarter. The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains-based incentive fee that is 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, less any realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation, calculated as of the end of the preceding calendar year. The
capital gains-based incentive fee payable to the Adviser is calculated based on (i) cumulative aggregate realized capital gains since our inception, less (ii) cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, less
(iii) the entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any, as of the date of the calculation. If this number is positive at the applicable calculation date, 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. For calculation purposes, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of
the excess 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 deficit between the net sales price of each
investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since our inception. The entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any, equals the sum of the deficit between the fair value of each investment security as
of the applicable calculation date and the original cost of such investment security. As of June 30, 2020, no capital gains-based incentive fees were contractually due to the Adviser. During the year ended March 31, 2020, capital
gains-based incentive fees of $8.1 million were contractually due and paid to the Adviser. In accordance with GAAP, accrual of the capital
gains-based incentive fee is determined as if our investments had been liquidated at their fair values as of the end of the reporting period. Therefore, GAAP requires that the capital gains-based incentive fee accrual consider the 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 any such unrealized capital appreciation will be
realized in the future. Accordingly, a GAAP accrual is calculated at the end of the reporting period based on (i) cumulative aggregate realized capital gains since our inception, plus (ii) the entire portfolios aggregate unrealized
capital appreciation, if any, less (iii) cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, less (iv) the entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any. If such amount is positive at the end of a
reporting period, a capital gains-based incentive fee equal to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of capital gains-based incentive fees accrued in all prior years, is recorded, regardless of whether such amount is contractually due
under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period and prior period accruals are reversed, as appropriate. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a reversal
of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of previously accrued capital gains-based incentive fees, respectively. Transactions with
the Administrator We reimburse the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement for our allocable portion of the Administrators
expenses incurred while performing services to us, which are primarily rent and salaries and benefits expenses of the Administrators employees, including: our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief valuation officer, chief compliance
officer, and general counsel and secretary, and their respective staffs. Two of our executive officers, David Gladstone (our chairman and chief executive officer) and Terry Lee Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating officer) serve as
members of the board of managers and executive officers of the Administrator, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone. Another of our officers, Mr. LiCalsi (our general counsel & secretary), serves as our
Administrators president as well as the executive vice president of administration for our Adviser.  31

##### Table of Contents

Our allocable portion of the Administrators expenses is generally derived by multiplying the
Administrators total expenses by the approximate percentage of time during the current quarter the Administrators employees performed services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by the
Administrator. On July 14, 2020, our Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Administration Agreement or interested persons of either party, approved the annual renewal of the Administration
Agreement through August 31, 2021. Transactions with Gladstone Securities Gladstone Securities, LLC (Gladstone Securities), is a privately held broker dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and
insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is 100% owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves
on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities. Dealer Manager Agreement On May 22, 2020, the Company, entered into a dealer manager agreement (the Dealer Manager Agreement), with Gladstone Securities whereby
Gladstone Securities will serve as the Companys exclusive dealer manager in connection with the Companys offering (the Offering) of up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 6.00% Notes due 2040 (the
Notes) on a reasonable best efforts basis. Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities will provide certain
sales, promotional and marketing services to the Company in connection with the Offering, and the Company will pay (i) selling commissions of up to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of the Notes in the Offering and
(ii) a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of the Notes in the Offering (the Dealer Manager Fee). Gladstone Securities may, in its sole discretion, reallow a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee to
participating broker-dealers in support of the Offering. Other Transactions From time to time, Gladstone Securities provides other services, such as investment banking and due diligence services, to certain of our portfolio companies,
for which it receives a fee. Any such fees paid by portfolio companies to Gladstone Securities do not impact the fees we pay to the Adviser or the non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable credits
against the base management fee. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, no fees were received by Gladstone Securities from our portfolio companies. The fees received by Gladstone Securities from our portfolio companies totaled
$0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Related Party Fees Due Amounts due to related parties on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities were as follows:  As ofJune 30,

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS Revolving Line of Credit On August 22, 2018, we,
through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Business Investment, entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally entered into on April 30, 2013 and as previously amended, with KeyBank National
Association (KeyBank) as administrative agent, lead arranger, managing agent and lender, the Adviser, as servicer, and certain other lenders party thereto. The revolving period was extended to August 22, 2021, and if not renewed or
extended by such date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on August 22, 2023 (two years after the revolving period end date). As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility provided a
one-year extension option that may be exercised on or before August 22, 2020, subject to approval by all lenders. Additionally, the Credit Facility commitment amount was increased from $165.0 million
to $200.0 million and, subject to certain terms and conditions, can be expanded to a total facility amount of $300.0 million through additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Advances under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus 2.85% per annum until August 21, 2021, with the margin then increasing to 3.10% for the period from August 22, 2021 to August 21, 2022, and increasing further to 3.35% thereafter. The Credit Facility has an unused commitment fee
on the daily unused commitment amount of 0.50% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is less than or equal to 50% of the total commitment amount, 0.75% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is
greater than 50% but less than or equal to 65% of the total commitment amount, and 1.00% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is greater than 65% of the total commitment amount.

Excludes the impact of deferred financing costs and includes unused commitment fees. Among other things, the Credit Facility contains a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in the Credit
Facility to include our mandatory redeemable term preferred stock) of the greater of $210.0 million or $210.0 million plus 50% of all equity and subordinated debt raised, minus 50% of any equity or subordinated debt redeemed or retired
after November 16, 2016, which equated to $222.4 million as of June 30, 2020, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 150% (or such percentage as may be set forth in Section 18
of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61 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, 2020, and as defined in the performance guaranty of the Credit Facility, we had
a net worth of $491.6 million, asset coverage on our senior securities representing indebtedness of 845.5%, calculated in compliance with the requirements of Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, and an active status as a BDC and RIC. As of
June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. Notes Offering In May 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with our affiliated dealer manager, Gladstone Securities, under which we may sell a maximum of
$350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% notes due 2040. However, the Company can only offer for sale up to $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 22, 2020
and a base prospectus dated July 24, 2019 relating to the registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333- 232124) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.  33

The Notes will mature on November 1, 2040. We will pay interest on the Notes on the first day of each
month, commencing on the first day of the month following the issuance of such Note. Subject to certain limitations, holders of the Notes will have the option to tender their Notes for redemption at a redemption price of $22.50 per Note until the
earlier of the date upon which our Board of Directors, by resolution, suspends or terminates the optional redemption right of the holders or the date, if any, on which the Notes are listed on Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national
securities exchange. In addition, we will repurchase the Notes, upon request, in the event of the holders death at a redemption price of $25.00 per Note. Except upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control of
us or to comply with applicable law, we may not redeem the Notes at our option until the later of (1) the one-year anniversary of the termination of the offering of the Notes and (2) July 1,
2025. After such date, we may, at our sole option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price of $25.00 per Note. The Notes will be our direct unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all outstanding and future
unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us. As of June 30, 2020, no Notes have been issued. Secured Borrowing In August 2012, we entered into a participation agreement with a third-party related to $5.0 million of our secured second lien term debt investment in
Ginsey Home Solutions, Inc. (Ginsey). In May 2014, we amended the agreement with the third-party to include an additional $0.1 million. ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing requires us to treat the participation
as a financing-type transaction. Specifically, the third-party has a senior claim to our remaining investment in the event of default by Ginsey which, in part, resulted in the loan participation bearing a rate of interest lower than the contractual
rate established at origination. Therefore, our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect the entire secured second lien term debt investment in Ginsey and a corresponding $5.1 million secured borrowing
liability. The secured borrowing has a stated fixed interest rate of 7.0% and a maturity date of January 3, 2025. Fair Value We elected to apply the fair value option of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, to the Credit Facility, which was consistent with our
application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of the Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis, which includes a DCF calculation and also takes into account the assumptions the Valuation Team believes market
participants would use, including 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, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the discount
rate used to determine the fair value of the Credit Facility was 30-day LIBOR, plus 2.85% per annum, plus an unused commitment fee of 1.0%. Generally, an increase or decrease in the discount rate used in the
DCF calculation may result in a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the Credit Facility. At each of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Credit Facility was valued using Level 3 inputs and any
changes in its fair value are recorded in Net unrealized depreciation of other on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
following tables provide relevant information and disclosures about the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, and for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as required by ASC 820:  Level 3  BorrowingsRecurring Fair Value Measurements Reported inConsolidatedStatements of Assets and LiabilitiesUsing SignificantUnobservable Inputs (Level 3)June 30, 2020

sales agreements with Wedbush Securities, Inc. (Wedbush) and Virtu Americas LLC (each a Series E ATM Sales Agent), under which we have the ability to issue and sell shares of our 6.375% Series E Cumulative Term Preferred
Stock (our Series E Term Preferred Stock or Series E), from time to time, through the Series E ATM Sales Agents, up to $50.0 million aggregate liquidation preference in an at-the-market program (the Series E ATM Program). As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining capacity to sell up to $47.6 million of our Series E Term Preferred Stock under the
Series E ATM Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 95,475 shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock under the Series E ATM
Program with Wedbush with a total liquidation preference of $2.4 million. The weighted-average gross price per share net of discounts was $24.31 and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million. After deducting commissions and
offering costs borne by us, net proceeds totaled approximately $2.3 million. The following tables summarize our 6.250% Series D Cumulative Term

capital gains to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and is reported after the end of the calendar year based on tax information for the full fiscal year. Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not
be representative of the actual tax characterization of dividends for the full year. Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date. If we determined the tax characterization of dividends paid to preferred
stockholders in the current calendar year as of June 30, 2020, 41.8% would be from ordinary income and 58.2% would be from capital gains. In
accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock is recorded
at the liquidation preference, less discounts, on our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020. The related dividend payments to preferred stockholders are treated as
dividend expense on our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Operations on the ex-dividend date.  36

registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-232124), which the SEC declared effective on July 24, 2019. The registration statement permits us to issue,
through one or more transactions, up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities, and warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities,
including through concurrent, separate offerings of such securities.As of June 30, 2020, we had the ability to issue up to $292.7 million of the securities registered under the registration statement. Common Equity Offerings In December 2019, we entered
into equity distribution agreements with Wedbush, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a Common Stock ATM Sales Agent), under which we have the ability to issue and sell shares of our common
stock, from time to time, through the Common Stock ATM Sales Agents, up to an aggregate offering price of $35.0 million in an at-the-market program (the
Common Stock ATM Program). As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining capacity to sell up to $30.1 million of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 155,560 shares of our common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program with Wedbush at a
weighted-average gross price of $11.39 per share and raised approximately $1.8 million of gross proceeds. The weighted-average net price per share, after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, was $11.17 and resulted in total net
proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. These sales were above our then current estimated NAV per share. During the year ended March 31, 2020,
we sold 227,004 shares of our common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program with Wedbush at a weighted-average gross price of $13.80 per share and raised approximately $3.1 million of gross proceeds. The weighted-average net price per share,
after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, was $13.55 and resulted in total net proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. These sales were above our then current estimated NAV per share. NOTE 8.

taxable ordinary income plus the excess of our net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses (Investment Company Taxable Income). The amount to be paid out as distributions to our stockholders is determined by our Board
of Directors and is based upon managements estimate of Investment Company Taxable Income and net long-term capital gains, as well as amounts to be distributed in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. Based on that estimate, our
Board of Directors declares monthly distributions, and supplemental distributions, as appropriate, to stockholders each quarter and deemed distributions of long-term capital gains annually as of the end of the fiscal year, as applicable.  37

Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date. If we determined the tax characterization of cash distributions paid to common stockholders in the current calendar year as of June 30, 2020, 93.4% would be from

Represents a supplemental distribution to common stockholders. Aggregate cash distributions to our common stockholders declared and paid were $9.9 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, Investment Company Taxable Income exceeded distributions
declared and paid and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $17.9 million of the first distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end, as having been paid in the prior
year. In addition, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, net capital gains exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $5.3 million of the first distributions
paid subsequent to fiscal year-end as having been paid in the prior year. For the three months ended
June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million of net adjustments for estimated permanent book-tax differences to reflect tax character, which decreased Capital in excess of par value and Accumulated net
realized gain in excess of distributions and increased Underdistributed net investment income for both periods on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded
$0.3 million of net adjustments for estimated permanent book-tax differences to reflect tax character, which decreased Capital in excess of par value and Accumulated net realized gain in excess of
distributions and increased Overdistributed net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We may distribute our
net long-term capital gains, if any, in cash or elect to retain some or all of such gains, pay taxes at the U.S. federal corporate-level income tax rate on the amount retained, and designate the retained amount as a deemed distribution.
If we elect to retain net long-term capital gains and deem them distributed, each U.S. common stockholder will be treated as if they received a distribution of their pro-rata share of the retained net
long-term capital gain and the U.S. federal income tax paid. As a result, each U.S. common stockholder will (i) be required to report their pro rata share of the retained gain on their tax return as long-term capital gain, (ii) receive a
refundable tax credit for their pro-rata share of federal income tax paid by us on the retained gain, and (iii) increase the tax basis of their shares of common stock by an amount equal to the deemed
distribution less the tax credit. In order to use the deemed distribution approach, we must provide written notice to our common stockholders prior to the expiration of 60 days after the close of the relevant taxable year. For the year ended
March 31, 2020, we elected to retain $38.0 million, or $1.15 per common share, of long-term capital gains and to treat them as deemed distributions to common stockholders. We incurred $8.0 million, or $0.24 per common share, of
federal income taxes on behalf of common stockholders, which was included in Taxes on deemed distribution of long-term capital gains on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2020 and in Other liabilities
on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and which was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  38

In addition, we obtained clarification of the treatment of deemed distributions with respect to Virginia
state taxes from the Virginia Department of Revenue, which ruled that Virginia state taxes are imposed. Related to this matter, we previously recorded a $3.0 million reserve for uncertain tax positions, which was included in Taxes on deemed
distribution of long-term capital gains on our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Operations and in Other Liabilities on our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of and for the year ended
March 31, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we reported and paid this amount with an amended Virginia tax return. As a result of the ruling, we also incurred $2.3 million of Virginia state taxes related to the deemed
distribution for the year ended March 31, 2020, which was included in Taxes on deemed distribution of long-term capital gains on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2020 and in Other Liabilities on
our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2020. NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings We are party to certain legal
proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business. 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 our current knowledge, we do not believe such loss contingencies are both probable and estimable and therefore, as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, we had
no established reserves for such loss contingencies. Escrow Holdbacks From time to time, we enter into arrangements relating 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, if received in cash but subject to potential obligations or other contractual restrictions, or as escrow
receivables in Other assets, net, if not yet received in cash, on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We establish reserves and holdbacks against escrow amounts if we determine that it is probable and estimable
that a portion of the escrow amounts will not ultimately be released or received at the end of the escrow period. Reserves and holdbacks against escrow amounts were $2.2 million and $2.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and March 31,
2020, respectively. Financial Commitments and Obligations We may have line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitments to certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn. Since these line of
credit and delayed draw term loan commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We
estimate the fair value of the combined unused line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitments as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 to be immaterial. We have also extended a guaranty on behalf of one of our portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2020, we have not been required to make any payments on this
guaranty, or any guaranties that existed in previous periods, and we consider the credit risk to be remote and the fair value of the guaranty as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 to be immaterial. As of June 30, 2020, the following guaranty was outstanding:  

A $1.0 million continuing guaranty of a wholesale financing facility agreement (the Floor Plan
Facility) between DLL Finance LLC (f/k/a Agricredit Acceptance, LLC) and Country Club Enterprises, LLC (CCE). The Floor Plan Facility provides CCE with financing to bridge the time and cash flow gap between the order and delivery
of golf carts to customers. The following table summarizes the principal balances of unused line of credit and delayed draw term loan
commitments and guaranties as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, which are not reflected as liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities:  June 30, 2020

NOTE 12. UNCONSOLIDATED SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARIES In accordance with the SECs Regulation S-X, we do not consolidate portfolio company investments. Further, in
accordance with ASC 946, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, except that ASC 946 provides for the consolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to
the investment company or its consolidated subsidiaries. We had one unconsolidated subsidiary, Galaxy Tool Holding Corporation (Galaxy),
which met at least one of the significance conditions under Rule 1-02(w) of the SECs Regulation S-X as of or during at least one of the three month periods ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, summarized, comparative financial information, pursuant to Rule 10-01(b), is presented below for Galaxy, which is a designer and manufacturer of precision tools for

COVID-19 pandemic and are focused on ensuring the safety of the Advisers and Administrators personnel and of the employees of our portfolio companies, while also managing our ongoing business
activities. While we are closely monitoring all of our portfolio companies, our portfolio continues to be diverse from a geographic and industry perspective. Through proactive measures and continued diligence, the management teams of our portfolio
companies continue to demonstrate their ability to respond effectively and efficiently to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and related orders imposed by state and local governments, including paused or
reversed reopening orders. We believe we have sufficient levels of liquidity to support our existing portfolio companies, as necessary, and selectively deploy capital in new investment opportunities.  41

Factorsherein and the Risk Factors sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 12, 2020 (the Annual Report). We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. We have based forward-looking statements on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Quarterly Report). Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new

percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of financial condition, results of operations or percentage relationships for any future periods. OVERVIEW General We were incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on February 18, 2005. On June 22, 2005, we completed our
initial public offering and commenced operations. 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). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company
(RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). To continue to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and obtain favorable RIC tax treatment, we must meet certain
requirements, including certain minimum distribution requirements. From our initial public offering in 2005 through June 30, 2020, we have paid 180 consecutive monthly distributions to common stockholders.  42

##### Table of Contents

We are externally managed by the Adviser, an affiliate of ours and an
SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the Advisory Agreement). We have also entered into an administration agreement (the
Administration Agreement) with Gladstone Administration, LLC (the Administrator), an affiliate of ours and the Adviser. Each of the Adviser and the Administrator are privately-held companies that are indirectly owned and
controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. David Dullum, our president, also serves as the executive vice president of private equity (buyouts) of the Adviser. Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, also
serves as our Administrators president, general counsel, and secretary, as well as executive vice president of administration of our Adviser). Additionally, Gladstone Securities, LLC (Gladstone Securities), a privately-held broker-dealer (indirectly owned and controlled by
Mr. Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer) registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, has provided other services, such as investment banking and due
diligence services, to certain of our portfolio companies, for which Gladstone Securities receives a fee. Any such fees paid by portfolio companies to Gladstone Securities do not impact the fees we pay to the Adviser or the non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable credits against the base management fee. For additional information refer to Note 4  Related Party Transactions in the accompanying Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Since May of 2020, Gladstone Securities also acts as dealer manager in connection with our offering of up to $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% Notes due 2040 on a reasonable best
efforts basis. We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of established private businesses operating in the
United States (U.S.). Our investment objectives are to: (i) 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 our stockholders that grow over time; and (ii) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in
equity securities of established businesses, generally in combination with the aforementioned debt securities, 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 individual investments generally totaling up to $30 million, although investment size may vary depending upon our total assets or available capital at
the time of investment. We expect that our investment portfolio over time will consist of approximately 75% in debt securities and 25% in equity securities, at cost. As of June 30, 2020, our investment portfolio was made up of 74.4% in debt
securities and 25.6% in equity securities, at cost. We focus on investing in lower middle market private businesses (which we generally define as
companies with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $3 million to $20 million) (Lower Middle Market) in the U.S. that meet certain criteria, including: the sustainability of
the business free cash flow and its ability to grow it over time, adequate assets for loan collateral, experienced management teams with a significant ownership interest in the portfolio company, reasonable capitalization of the portfolio
company, including an ample equity contribution or cushion based on prevailing enterprise valuation multiples, and the potential to realize appreciation and gain liquidity in our equity position, if any. We anticipate that liquidity in our equity
position will be achieved through a merger or acquisition of the portfolio company, a public offering of the portfolio companys stock, or, to a lesser extent, by exercising our right to require the portfolio company to repurchase our warrants,
though there can be no assurance that we will always have these rights. We invest in portfolio companies that need funds for growth capital, to finance acquisitions, including management buyouts, recapitalize or, to a lesser extent, refinance their
existing debt facilities. We seek to avoid investing in high-risk, early-stage enterprises. We invest by ourselves or jointly with other funds and/or
management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity. In July 2012, the SEC granted us an exemptive order (the Co-Investment Order) that expanded our ability to co-invest, under certain circumstances, with certain of our affiliates, including Gladstone Capital Corporation (Gladstone Capital) and any future business development company or closed-end management investment company that is advised (or sub-advised if it controls the fund) by the Adviser, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the
conditions in the Co-Investment Order. Since 2012, we have opportunistically made several co-investments with Gladstone Capital pursuant to the Co-Investment Order. We believe the Co-Investment Order has enhanced and will continue to enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies. If we are
participating in an investment with one or more co-investors, whether or not an affiliate of ours, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone. Our shares of common stock, 6.25% Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (Series D Term Preferred Stock) and 6.375% Series E Cumulative Term
Preferred Stock (Series E Term Preferred Stock) are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq) under the trading symbols GAIN, GAINM, and GAINL, respectively.  43

##### Table of Contents

Business Portfolio Activity While the business environment
remains competitive, we continue to see new investment opportunities consistent with our investment strategy of providing a combination of debt and equity in support of management and independent sponsor-led
buyouts of Lower Middle Market companies in the U.S. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we did not invest in new portfolio companies or exit existing portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2020, our portfolio was comprised of 28
companies. From our initial public offering in June 2005 through June 30, 2020, we made investments in 52 companies, excluding investments in syndicated loans, for a total of approximately $1.3 billion, before giving effect to principal
repayments and divestitures. The majority of the debt securities in our portfolio have a success fee component, which enhances the yield on our debt
investments. Unlike paid-in-kind (PIK) income, we generally do not recognize success fees as income until payment has been received. Due to the contingent
nature of success fees, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect any or all of these success fees or know the timing of any such collections. As a result, as of June 30, 2020, we had unrecognized, contractual success fees of
$41.2 million, or $1.24 per common share. Consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP), we have not recognized success fee receivables and related income in our accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements until earned. From inception through June 30, 2020, we completed sales of 22 portfolio companies that we acquired under our buyout
strategy (which excludes investments in syndicated loans). In the aggregate, these sales have generated $222.8 million in net realized gains and $30.3 million in other income upon exit, for a total increase to our net assets of
$253.1 million. We believe, in aggregate, these transactions were equity-oriented investment successes and exemplify our investment strategy of striving to achieve returns through current income on the debt portion of our investments and
capital gains from the equity portion. The 22 liquidity events have offset any realized losses since inception, which were primarily incurred during the 2008-2009 recession in connection with the sale of performing syndicated loans at a realized
loss to pay off a former lender. These successful exits, in part, enabled us to increase the monthly distribution by 75.0% from March 2011 through June 30, 2020, and allowed us to declare and pay 11 supplemental distributions. Capital Raising Efforts We have been able to meet
our capital needs through extensions of and increases to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 30, 2013, as amended (the Credit Facility), and by accessing the capital markets in the form of public offerings of
common and preferred stock. We have successfully extended the Credit Facilitys revolving period multiple times, most recently to August 2021, and currently have a total commitment amount of $200.0 million (with a potential total
commitment of $300.0 million through additional commitments from new or existing lenders). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 155,560 shares of our common stock under our common stock at-the-market program for gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million and 95,475 shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock under our preferred stock at-the-market program for gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we sold 227,004 shares of our common stock under our common stock at-the-market program for gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources  Revolving Line of Credit for
further discussion of the Credit Facility and to Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Common Stock and Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Term Preferred Stock for further
discussion of our common stock, including our at-the-market programs, and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Although we have been able to access the capital markets historically, market conditions, including the impact of
COVID-19, may continue to affect the trading price of our common stock and thus our ability to finance new investments through the issuance of common equity. On June 30, 2020, the closing market price of
our common stock was $10.24 per share, representing a 5.8% discount to our net asset value (NAV) of $10.87 per share as of June 30, 2020. When our common stock trades below NAV, our ability to issue additional equity is constrained
by provisions of the 1940 Act, which generally prohibits the issuance and sale of our common stock at an issuance price below the then-current NAV per share without stockholder approval, other than through sales to our then-existing stockholders
pursuant to a rights offering. At our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 15, 2019, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing
us to issue and sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then-current NAV per share, subject to certain limitations, including that the number of common 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, provided that our board of directors (Board of Directors) makes certain determinations prior to any such sale. This August 2019 stockholder authorization is in effect for
one year from the date of stockholder approval. We sought and obtained stockholder approval concerning similar proposals at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders since 2008, and with our Board of Directors subsequent approval, we issued shares
of our common stock in three offerings at a price below the then-current NAV per share, once in May 2017, once in March 2015, and once in October 2012. Certain sales under the previous Common Stock ATM Program in March and April of 2018 were also
below the then-current estimated NAV per share. The resulting proceeds, in part, have allowed us to (i) grow our portfolio by making new investments, (ii) generate additional income through these new investments, (iii) ensure
continued compliance with regulatory tests and (iv) increase our debt capital while still complying with our applicable debt-to-equity ratios. Refer to
Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Common Stock for further discussion of our common stock.  44

Regulatory Compliance 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, which require us to have asset coverage (as defined in Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act), of at least 150% on each of our senior securities representing indebtedness and our senior securities that are stock (such as
our two series of term preferred stock currently outstanding). Notwithstanding the modified asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act described above, we are separately subject to a minimum asset coverage requirement of 200% with respect to our
Series D Term Preferred Stock. On April 10, 2018, our Board of Directors, including a required majority (as such term is defined in
Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) thereof, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, our asset coverage requirements for senior securities changed from 200% to 150%,
effective as of April 10, 2019, one year after the date of the Board of Directors approval. As of June 30, 2020, our asset coverage ratio on our senior securities representing indebtedness was 845.5% and our asset coverage on our
senior securities that are stock was 277.6%. Recent Developments Investment Activity The following significant
investment activity occurred subsequent to June 30, 2020: In July 2020, we invested $46.9 million in Mason West, LLC (Mason West)
through a combination of secured first lien debt and preferred equity. Mason West, headquartered in Placentia, California, is a provider of engineered seismic restraint and vibration isolation solutions. ATM Activity Subsequent to June 30, 2020 and
through July 20, 2020, we sold 1,802 shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock under the Series E at-the-market program with Wedbush Securities, Inc. with a total
liquidation preference of $45. The weighted-average gross price per share net of discounts was $24.25 and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $44. After deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, net proceeds totaled approximately
$43. Distributions and Dividends In July
2020, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly distributions to common stockholders and monthly dividends to holders of our Series D Term Preferred Stock and Series E Term Preferred Stock:  Record Date

0.39843750 LIBOR Transition In general, our investments in debt securities have a term of five years, accrue interest at variable rates (based on the
one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)) and, to a lesser extent, at fixed rates. LIBOR is currently anticipated to be phased out during late 2021. LIBOR may transition to a new standard
rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which will incorporate certain overnight repo market data collected from multiple data sets. To attain an equivalent one-month rate, we currently
intend to adjust the SOFR to minimize the difference between the interest that a borrower would be paying using LIBOR versus what it will be paying using SOFR. We are currently monitoring the transition and cannot assure you whether SOFR will
become a standard rate for variable rate debt. However, we expect we will need to renegotiate certain loan documents with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate to replace LIBOR with the new
standard that is established and may also need to renegotiate certain provisions of the Credit Facility. Assuming that SOFR replaces LIBOR and is appropriately adjusted to equate to one-month LIBOR, we expect
that there should be minimal impact on our operations.  45

COVID-19 Impact We continue to closely monitor and work with our portfolio companies to navigate the significant challenges created by the
COVID-19 pandemic and are focused on ensuring the safety of the Advisers and Administrators personnel and of the employees of our portfolio companies, while also managing our ongoing business
activities. While we are closely monitoring all of our portfolio companies, our portfolio continues to be diverse from a geographic and industry perspective. Through proactive measures and continued diligence, the management teams of our portfolio
companies continue to demonstrate their ability to respond effectively and efficiently to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and related orders imposed by state and local governments, including paused or
reversed reopening orders. We believe we have sufficient levels of liquidity to support our existing portfolio companies, as necessary, and selectively deploy capital in new investment opportunities.  46

(100.0
)%  NM = Not Meaningful Investment Income Total investment income decreased
38.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in dividend and success fee income as well as a decrease in interest income. Interest income from our investments in debt securities decreased 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period.
Generally, the level of interest income from investments is directly related to the principal balance of our 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, 2020 was $358.6 million, compared to $363.8 million for the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the pay-off, restructuring, or write-off of $78.5 million of debt investments and $20.2 million of loans placed on non-accrual
status after March 31, 2019, partially offset by the origination of $32.5 million of new debt investments and $50.3 million of follow-on debt investments to existing portfolio companies, and
their respective impact on the weighted-average principal balance when considering timing of new investments, pay-offs, restructurings, write-offs, and accrual status changes, as applicable. The
weighted-average yield on our interest-bearing investments, excluding cash and cash equivalents and receipts recorded as dividend and success fee income, was 11.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 13.1% for the prior year
period. The weighted-average yield may vary from period to period, based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments. As of
June 30, 2020, our loans to, B+T Group Acquisition, Inc. (B+T), Horizon Facilities Services, Inc. (Horizon), The Mountain Corporation (The Mountain), PSI Molded Plastics, Inc. (PSI Molded), and
SOG Specialty Knives & Tools, LLC (SOG), were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $94.8 million. At June 30, 2019, certain of our loans to Meridian
Rack & Pinion, Inc., The Mountain, PSI Molded, and SOG, were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $56.4 million.  47

##### Table of Contents

Dividend and success fee income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 96.7% from the prior
year period. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, dividend and success fee income consisted primarily of $0.2 million of success fee income. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, dividend and success fee income
consisted primarily of $5.2 million of dividend income. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, no single investment represented greater
than 10% of the total investment portfolio at fair value. Expenses Total expenses, net of any non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable credits from the Adviser, decreased 22.7%
during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the incentive fee and base management fee, partially offset by a decrease in credits to fees from the Adviser and an increase in
other expenses. In accordance with GAAP, we recorded a reversal of $0.8 million and $0.5 million of the capital gains-based incentive fee
during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The reversal of the capital gains-based incentive fee was a result of the net impact of net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments during the respective periods. The income-based incentive fee decreased by $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in pre-incentive fee net investment income, which did not exceed the hurdle rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The base management fee, loan servicing fee, incentive fee, and their related non-contractual, unconditional, and
irrevocable credits are computed quarterly, as described under Transactions with the Adviserin Note 4  Related Party Transactions in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and are
summarized in the following table:  Three Months EndedJune 30,2020

The capital gains-based incentive fees are recorded in accordance with GAAP and do not necessarily reflect
amounts contractually due under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Interest and dividend expense decreased 4.1% during the three
months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period, due to a decrease in the effective interest rate, partially offset by a higher weighted-average balance outstanding on the Credit Facility. The effective interest rate on the
Credit Facility, excluding the impact of deferred financing costs, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 6.1%, as compared to 9.1% in the prior year period. This decrease in the effective interest rate on the Credit Facility was
primarily a result of a decrease in LIBOR and a decrease in the unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility. The weighted-average balance outstanding on the Credit Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was
$54.6 million, as compared to $42.7 million in the prior year period. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources  Revolving Line of Credit for further discussion of the Credit Facility.  48

Other expenses increased 20.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the prior
year period, primarily due to an increase in tax expense. Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments During the three
months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded net realized gains on investments of $0.8 million related to previous exits. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded net realized gains on investments of $0.5 million,
primarily related to a $3.2 million realized gain from the exit of Jackrabbit, Inc. (Jackrabbit), which was partially offset by a $2.7 million realized loss from the exit of Tread Corporation (Tread). Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments of $4.9 million.

(4,134
) The primary driver of net unrealized depreciation of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was a
decline in performance of certain of our portfolio companies, which was partially offset by increased performance of certain of our portfolio companies and an increase in comparable multiples used to estimate the fair value of some of our portfolio
companies. In part, the performance of certain of our portfolio companies was driven by the impact COVID-19 has had or is expected to have on our portfolio companies and the markets in which they operate,
including government restrictions on the portfolio companies ability to operate under historical conditions, shutdowns, reopening restrictions, demand for products, and general economic outlook.  49

) The primary drivers of net unrealized depreciation of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were the
reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation of our investment in Jackrabbit upon its exit and a decline in performance of certain of our other portfolio companies, which were partially offset by the reversal of previously recorded
unrealized depreciation of our investment in Tread upon its exit and increased performance of certain of our portfolio companies. Across our entire
investment portfolio, we recorded $3.1 million of net unrealized depreciation on our debt positions and $1.8 million of net unrealized depreciation on our equity positions for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30,
2020, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than our cost basis by $48.5 million, as compared to the fair value less than the cost basis by $43.7 million as of March 31, 2020, representing net unrealized depreciation of
$4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our entire portfolio had a fair value of 92.0% of cost as of June 30, 2020. Net
Unrealized (Appreciation) Depreciation on Other During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we did not record any unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of other. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of other of $0.3 million related to the Credit Facility recorded at fair value.  50

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operating Activities Net cash used in operating
activities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.1 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This change was primarily due to decreases in
purchases of investments, principal repayments of investments, and net proceeds from the sale of investments. Purchases of investments were
$0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $51.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Principal repayments and net proceeds from the sale of investments totaled $0.6 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $41.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we

Distributions and Dividends to Stockholders Common Stock Distributions To qualify to be taxed
as a RIC and thus avoid corporate level federal income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, among other requirements, to distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income
plus the excess of our net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses (Investment Company Taxable Income), determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction. Additionally, the Credit Facility generally restricts
the amount of distributions to stockholders that we can pay out to be no greater than the sum of certain amounts, including our net investment income, plus net capital gains, plus amounts elected by the Company to be considered as having been paid
during the prior fiscal year in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. In accordance with these requirements, our Board of Directors declared, and we paid, monthly cash distributions of $0.07 per common share for each of the three months
from April through June 2020, and a supplemental distribution of 0.09 per common share in June 2020. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020,
Investment Company Taxable Income exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $17.9 million of the first distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end as having been paid in the prior year. In addition, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, net capital gains exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with
Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $5.3 million of the first distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end as having been paid in the prior year. For the year ended March 31,
2020, we recorded $6.5 million of net adjustments for estimated permanent book-tax differences to reflect tax character, which decreased Capital in excess of par value and increased Accumulated net
realized gain in excess of distributions and Underdistributed (overdistributed) net investment income. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million of net adjustments for estimated permanent book-tax differences to reflect tax character, which decreased Capital in excess of par value and Accumulated net realized gain in excess of distributions and increased Underdistributed net investment income. Preferred Stock Dividends Our Board of Directors
declared and we paid monthly cash dividends of (i) $0.13020833 per share to holders of our Series D Term Preferred Stock for each of the three months from April through June 2020 and (ii) $0.1328125 per share to holders of our Series E Term
Preferred Stock for each of the three months from April through June 2020. In accordance with GAAP, we treat these monthly dividends as an operating expense. Dividend Reinvestment Plan Our common
stockholders who hold their shares through our transfer agent, Computershare, Inc. (Computershare), have the option to participate in a dividend reinvestment plan offered by Computershare, as the plan agent. This is an opt in
dividend reinvestment plan, meaning that common stockholders may elect to have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Common stockholders who do not make such election will receive their
distributions in cash. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will be taxable to a common stockholder to the same extent, and with the same character, as if the common stockholder had received the distribution in cash. The common stockholder
generally will have an adjusted basis in the additional common shares purchased through the plan equal to the dollar amount that would have been received if the U.S. stockholder had received the dividend or distribution in cash. The additional
common shares will have a new holding period commencing on the day following the date on which the shares are credited to the common stockholders account. Computershare purchases shares in the open market in connection with the obligations
under the plan. The Computershare dividend reinvestment plan is not open to holders of our preferred stock. Equity Registration Statement On June 14, 2019, we
filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-232124), which the SEC declared effective on July 24, 2019. The registration statement permits us to
issue, through one or more transactions, up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities, and warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or debt
securities, including through concurrent, separate offerings of such securities.As of June 30, 2020, we had the ability to issue up to $292.7 million in securities under the registration statement.  52

Common Stock In December 2019, we entered into equity distribution agreements with Wedbush Securities, Inc. (Wedbush), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and
Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each, a Common Stock ATM Sales Agent), under which we have the ability to issue and sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, through the Common Stock ATM Sales Agents, up to an
aggregate offering price of $35.0 million in an at-the-market program (the Common Stock ATM Program). As of June 30, 2020, we had
remaining capacity to sell up to $30.1 million of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2020,
we sold 155,560 shares of our common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program with Wedbush at a weighted-average gross price of $11.39 per share and raised approximately $1.8 million of gross proceeds. The weighted-average net price per share,
after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, was $11.17 and resulted in total net proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. These sales were above our then current estimated NAV per share. During the year ended March 31, 2020, we sold 227,004 shares of our common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program with Wedbush at a weighted-average
gross price of $13.80 per share and raised approximately $3.1 million of gross proceeds. The weighted-average net price per share, after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, was $13.55 and resulted in total net proceeds of
approximately $3.1 million. These sales were above our then current estimated NAV per share. We anticipate issuing equity securities to obtain
additional capital in the future. However, we cannot determine the timing or terms of any future equity issuances or whether we will be able to issue equity on terms favorable to us, or at all. When our common stock is trading at a price below NAV
per share, the 1940 Act places regulatory constraints on 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 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 and meeting other stated requirements. On June 30, 2020, the closing market
price of our common stock was $10.24 per share, representing a 5.8% discount to our NAV per share of $10.87 as of June 30, 2020. At our 2019 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders held on August 15, 2019, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to issue and sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per common share for a period of one year from the date of
such approval, provided that our Board of Directors makes certain determinations prior to any such sale. At our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled to take place in August 2020, our Board of Directors has recommended that our stockholders
vote in favor of a similar proposal so that it may be in effect for another year. Term Preferred Stock In August 2018, we completed a public offering of 2,990,000 shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross
proceeds totaled $74.8 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were $72.1 million. Total underwriting discounts and offering costs related to this offering were $2.7 million,
which have been recorded as discounts to the liquidation value on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending August 31, 2025, the mandatory redemption date. Our Series E Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.375% per year,
payable monthly (which equates to $4.8 million per year). We are required to redeem all outstanding shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock on August 31, 2025, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus an amount
equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, two other potential mandatory redemption triggers are as follows: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a
change in control of us, we would be required to redeem all of our outstanding Series E Term Preferred Stock, and (2) if we fail to maintain asset coverage as required by Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act (which is currently 150%) and are
unable to correct such failure within a specific amount of time, we are required to redeem a portion of our outstanding Series E Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the asset coverage redemption trigger (we may also redeem additional securities
to cause asset coverage to be up to 200%). We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of our Series E Term Preferred Stock at our sole option at the redemption price at any time on or after August 31, 2020. In August 2018, we used the proceeds from the issuance of our Series E Term Preferred Stock, along with borrowings under the Credit Facility, to voluntarily
redeem all outstanding shares of our 6.750% Series B Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (our Series B Term Preferred Stock) and our 6.500% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (our Series C Term Preferred Stock), each of
which had a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series B Term Preferred Stock and our Series C Term Preferred Stock, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million, which
was recorded in Realized loss on other in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and which was primarily comprised of unamortized deferred issuance costs at the time of redemption.  53

##### Table of Contents

In May 2020, we entered into sales agreements with Wedbush and Virtu Americas LLC (each a Series E ATM
Sales Agent), under which we have the ability to issue and sell shares of our Series E Term Preferred Stock, from time to time, through the Series E ATM Sales Agents, up to $50.0 million aggregate liquidation preference in an at-the-market program (the Series E ATM Program). As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining capacity to sell up to $47.6 million of our Series E
Term Preferred Stock under the Series E ATM Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 95,475 shares of our Series E Term
Preferred Stock under the Series E ATM Program with Wedbush with a total liquidation preference of $2.4 million. The weighted-average gross price per share net of discounts was $24.31 and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately
$2.3 million. After deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, net proceeds totaled approximately $2.3 million. In September 2016,
we completed a public offering of 2,300,000 shares of our Series D Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $57.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering
costs borne by us, were $55.4 million. Total underwriting discounts and offering costs related to this offering were $2.1 million, which have been recorded as discounts to the liquidation value on our Consolidated Statements of Assets
and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending September 30, 2023, the mandatory redemption date. Our Series D Term Preferred
Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security. Our Series D Term Preferred Stock provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.25% per year, payable monthly (which equates to $3.6 million per year). We are required to redeem
all outstanding shares of our Series D Term Preferred Stock on September 30, 2023, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, to, but excluding, the date of
redemption. In addition, two other potential mandatory redemption triggers are as follows: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control of us, we would be required to redeem all of our outstanding Series D
Term Preferred Stock, and (2) if we fail to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% and are unable to correct such failure within a specific amount of time, we are required to redeem a portion of our outstanding Series D Term Preferred Stock
or otherwise cure the asset coverage redemption trigger (and we may also redeem additional securities to cause the asset coverage to be 240%). We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of our Series D Term Preferred Stock at our sole option at
the redemption price at any time. Each series of our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock has a preference over our common stock with respect to
dividends, whereby no distributions are payable on our common stock unless the stated dividends, including any accrued and unpaid dividends, on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock have been paid in full. The Series D Term Preferred Stock and
Series E Term Preferred Stock are considered liabilities in accordance with GAAP and, as such, affect our asset coverage, exposing us to additional leverage risks. The asset coverage on our senior securities that are stock (our Series D Term
Preferred Stock and Series E Term Preferred Stock) as of June 30, 2020 was 277.6%, calculated pursuant to Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act. Revolving Line of Credit On August 22, 2018,
we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Business Investment, LLC ( Business Investment), entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally entered into on April 30, 2013,
with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank) as administrative agent, lead arranger, managing agent and lender, the Adviser, as servicer, and certain other lenders party thereto. The revolving period was extended to August 22, 2021,
and if not renewed or extended by such date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on August 22, 2023 (two years after the revolving period end date). As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility provided a one-year extension option that may be exercised on or before August 22, 2020, subject to approval by all lenders. Additionally, the Credit Facility commitment amount was increased from $165.0 million to
$200.0 million and, subject to certain terms and conditions, can be expanded to a total facility amount of $300.0 million through additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Advances under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.85% per annum until August 21,
2021, with the margin then increasing to 3.10% for the period from August 22, 2021 to August 21, 2022, and increasing further to 3.35% thereafter. The Credit Facility has an unused commitment fee on the daily unused commitment amount of
0.50% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is less than or equal to 50% of the total commitment amount, 0.75% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is greater than 50% but less than or equal to
65% of the total commitment amount, and 1.00% per annum if the average unused commitment amount for the period is greater than 65% of the total commitment amount. We incurred fees of approximately $1.6 million in connection with this amendment. Interest is payable monthly during the term of the Credit Facility. Available borrowings are subject to various constraints and applicable advance rates,
which are generally based on the size, characteristics, and quality of the collateral pledged by Business Investment. The Credit Facility also requires that any interest and principal payments on pledged loans be remitted directly by the borrower
into a lockbox account with KeyBank. KeyBank is also the trustee of the account and generally remits the collected funds to us once a month.  54

##### Table of Contents

Among other things, the Credit Facility contains covenants that require Business Investment to maintain its
status as a separate legal entity, prohibit certain significant corporate transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions) and restrict certain material changes to our credit and collection policies without the
lenders consent. The Credit Facility also generally seeks to restrict distributions to stockholders to the sum of (i) our net investment income, (ii) net capital gains, and (iii) amounts deemed by the Company to be considered as
having been paid during the prior fiscal year in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. Loans eligible to be pledged as collateral are subject to certain limitations, including, among other things, restrictions on geographic
concentrations, industry concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life, portfolio company leverage, and lien property. The Credit Facility also requires Business Investment to comply with other financial and operational
covenants, which obligate Business Investment to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of obligors required in the borrowing base. Additionally, the Credit Facility
contains a performance guaranty that requires the Company to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in the Credit Facility to include our mandatory redeemable term preferred stock) of the greater of $210.0 million or $210.0 million
plus 50% of all equity and subordinated debt raised minus 50% of any equity or subordinated debt redeemed or retired after November 16, 2016, which equated to $222.4 million as of June 30, 2020, (ii) asset coverage with respect to
senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 150% (or such percentage as may be set forth in Section 18 of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61 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, 2020, and as defined in the performance guaranty of the Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $491.6 million, asset coverage on our senior securities representing indebtedness of 845.5%, calculated in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, and an active status as a BDC and RIC. As of June 30, 2020, we had availability, after adjustments for various constraints based on collateral quality, of
$104.4 million under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. Notes Offering In May 2020, we entered into a dealer manager agreement (Dealer Manager Agreement) with our affiliated dealer manager, Gladstone Securities, under
which we may sell a maximum of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% notes due 2040 (the Notes). However, the Company can only offer for sale up to $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes
pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 22, 2020 and a base prospectus dated July 24, 2019 relating to the registration statement on
Form N-2 (File No. 333- 232124) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes will mature on November 1, 2040. We will pay interest on the Notes on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month
following the issuance of such Note. Subject to certain limitations, holders of the Notes will have the option to tender their Notes for redemption at a redemption price of $22.50 per Note until the earlier of the date upon which our Board of
Directors, by resolution, suspends or terminates the optional redemption right of the holders or the date, if any, on which the Notes are listed on Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national securities exchange. In addition, we will repurchase
the Notes, upon request, in the event of the holders death at a redemption price of $25.00 per Note. Except upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control of us or to comply with applicable law, we may not
redeem the Notes at our option until the later of (1) the one-year anniversary of the termination of the offering of the Notes and (2) July 1, 2025. After such date, we may, at our sole option,
redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price of $25.00 per Note. The Notes will be our direct unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all outstanding and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us.
As of June 30, 2020, no Notes have been issued. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Unlike PIK income, we generally do not recognize success fees as income until payment has been received. Due to the contingent nature of success fees, there
are no guarantees that we will be able to collect any or all of these success fees or know the timing of any such collections. As a result, as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, we had unrecognized, contractual off-balance sheet success fee receivables of $41.2 million and $37.6 million (or approximately $1.24 and $1.14 per common share), respectively, on our debt investments. Consistent with GAAP, we have not
recognized success fee receivables and related income in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements until earned. CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATIONS We have line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitments to certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn. Since
these line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.  55

##### Table of Contents

We estimate the fair value of the combined unused line of credit and delayed draw term loan commitments as
of June 30, 2020 to be immaterial. As of June 30, 2020, we have also extended a guaranty on behalf of one of our portfolio companies, Country
Club Enterprises, LLC (CCE), whereby we have guaranteed $1.0 million of CCEs obligations. As of June 30, 2020, we have not been required to make payments on this or any previous guaranties, and we consider the credit
risks to be remote and the fair value of this guaranty to be immaterial. The following table shows our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2020,

preferred stock assume quarterly declarations and monthly dividend payments through the date of mandatory redemption of each series. 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 period reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified our investment
valuation policy (which has been approved by our Board of Directors) as our most critical accounting policy, which is described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Additionally, refer to Note 3  Investments in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional
information regarding fair value measurements and our application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. We have also identified our revenue
recognition policy as a critical accounting policy, which is described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report. Investment Valuation 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, are 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.  56

##### Table of Contents

The Adviser risk rates all of our investments in debt securities. The Adviser does not risk rate equity
securities. For loans that have been rated by a SEC-registered Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), 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. 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 Advisers risk rating system is used to estimate the probability of default on debt securities and the expected loss, if there is a default. The Advisers risk
rating system uses a scale of 0 to >10, with >10 being the lowest probability of default. It is the Advisers understanding that most debt securities of Lower Middle Market companies do not exceed the grade of BBB on an NRSRO scale, so
there would be no debt securities in the Lower 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 Advisers risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the
securities we hold. The following table reflects risk ratings for all loans in our portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020:  Rating

4.0 Tax Status We
intend to continue to maintain our qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and gains
distributed to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must maintain our status as a BDC and meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification
requirements. In addition, in order to qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we must distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our Investment Company Taxable Income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction. Our policy generally is to make
distributions to our stockholders in an amount up to 100% of Investment Company Taxable Income. We may retain some or all of our net long-term capital gains, if any, and designate them as deemed distributions, or distribute such gains to
stockholders in cash. See Business Liquidity and Capital Resources  Distributions and Dividends to Stockholders. In an effort to limit federal excise taxes, we have to distribute to stockholders, during each calendar year, an amount close to the sum of: (1) 98% of
our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our net capital gains (both long-term and short-term), if any, for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year, and
(3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding period (to the extent that income tax was not imposed on such amounts), less certain reductions, as applicable. Under the RIC Modernization Act, we are permitted to carryforward any
capital losses that we may incur for an unlimited period, and such capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Our capital loss carryforward balance was $0 as of both June 30, 2020
and March 31, 2020. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to Note 2  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements.  57

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 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,
including COVID-19 or other health emergencies; 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 rates at which we borrow funds, such as under the Credit Facility (which is variable) and our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock (which are fixed), and the rates 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 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 10% of the loans in our portfolio at fixed rates, with approximately 90% at variable rates or variable rates with a floor
mechanism. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, all of our variable-rate loans have rates associated with the current 30-day LIBOR rate and our total debt investment portfolio consisted of the
following breakdown based on the principal balance:  Rates:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of
June 30, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness, 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, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  58

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION  ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters, if they arise, would materially affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, resolution will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Further, we are not named as a party to any
proceeding that involves a claim for damages that exceeds 10% of our consolidated current assets.  ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS. Our business is subject to certain risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the
trading price of our securities. For a discussion of these risks, please refer to the section captioned Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2020. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial
also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.  ITEM 2.
