|(B) | 2015: Significant non-cash operating activities consisted principally of the following transaction:
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In August 2015, NDLI, Inc. (NDLI) was acquired by Diligent Delivery Systems (Diligent). As part of this acquisition, we
restructured our investment in NDLI, which resulted in the termination of our debt investments in NDLI, which had a cost basis and fair value of $17.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively. We received cash proceeds of $1.9 million and a
$13.0 million secured second lien debt investment in Diligent, which resulted in a net realized loss of $2.8 million. We recognized this net realized loss in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended
September 30, 2015.

THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

GLADSTONE INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015

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

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 is applying the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. In addition, we have
elected to be treated for 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 come in 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: (a) to 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 (b) to
provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. We
aim to maintain a portfolio allocation of approximately 75.0% debt investments and 25.0% 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 owning our portfolio of investments in connection with 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 a SEC registered investment adviser,
pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and management agreement. Administrative services are provided by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the Administrator), an affiliate of ours and the Adviser, pursuant to an administration
agreement.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

We prepare our interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial
information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have omitted certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X,
and the authoritative accounting guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are not permitted to consolidate any subsidiary or other entity that is not an
investment company, including those in which we have a controlling interest. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim periods have been
included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2015.

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

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and
related notes. Reclassifications did not impact net increase in net assets resulting from operations, total assets, total liabilities or total net assets, or statement of changes in net assets and statement of cash flows classifications.

Investment Valuation Policy

Accounting Recognition

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

Board Responsibility

In accordance with the 1940 Act, our Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our
investments 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. 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 approve the fair value of our 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 also review 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.

Standard & Poors Securities Evaluation, Inc. (SPSE) provides estimates of fair value on our debt investments. The Valuation
Team generally assigns SPSEs estimates of fair value to our debt investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company. The Valuation Team corroborates SPSEs estimates of fair value using
one or more of the valuation techniques discussed below. The Valuation Teams estimate of value on a specific debt investment may significantly differ from SPSE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 and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Teams
recommended 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 of certain of our investments. Generally, at least once per year, we engage an independent valuation firm to value or review our valuation of our significant equity investments,
which includes providing the information noted above. The Valuation Team evaluates such information for incorporation into our total enterprise value, 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 and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Teams recommended fair value.

Valuation Techniques

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



| |  |  | Total Enterprise Value  In determining the fair value using a total enterprise value (TEV), the Valuation Team first
calculates the TEV of the portfolio company by incorporating some or all of the following factors: the portfolio companys ability to make payments and other specific portfolio company attributes; the earnings of the portfolio company (the
trailing or projected twelve month revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)); EBITDA or revenue multiples obtained from our indexing methodology whereby the original transaction EBITDA or revenue
multiple at the time of our closing is indexed to a general subset of comparable disclosed transactions and EBITDA or revenue multiples from recent sales to third parties of similar securities in similar industries; a comparison to publicly traded
securities in similar industries, and other pertinent factors.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | The Valuation Team generally references industry statistics and may use outside experts when gathering this information. Once the TEV is determined for a portfolio company, the Valuation Team
then generally allocates the TEV to the portfolio companys securities in order of their relative priority in the capital structure. Generally, the Valuation Team uses TEV to value our equity investments and, in the circumstances where we have
the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company, our debt investments.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



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



| |  |  | Market Quotes  For our 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.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investments in Funds  For equity investments in other funds, where we cannot effectuate a sale, the Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our uninvested capital at par value and of our
invested capital at the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the fund. The Valuation Team may also determine fair value of our investments in other investment funds based on the capital accounts of the underlying entity.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the valuation techniques listed above, the Valuation Team may also consider other factors when determining the fair value of our investments,
including but not limited to: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties guaranties; any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company; and the markets in which the portfolio company
operates. If applicable, new and follow-on debt and equity investments made during the current reporting quarter (the three months ended December 31, 2015) are generally valued at our original cost basis.

Fair value measurements of our investments may involve subjective judgments and estimates and, due to the uncertainty inherent in valuing these securities,
the Advisers 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
Advisers 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 Policy

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 December 31, 2015, our loans to Tread Corporation (Tread) were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $1.5 million, or 0.4% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an
aggregate fair value of $1.5 million, or 0.4% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2015, our loans to Tread were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $11.7 million, or 3.1% of the
cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate fair value of $1.8 million, or 0.5% 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 over the life of the obligation. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively, we did not have any loans with a PIK interest component. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015,
we did not record PIK income or collect any PIK interest in cash. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded PIK income of $20 and $78, respectively, and collected $0.2 million PIK interest in cash.

Other Income Recognition

We generally record success
fees upon receipt of cash. Typically, success fees are contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded success fees of $0.6 and $1.5 million, respectively,
which resulted from prepaid success fees of $0.9 million and $0.2 million from Drew Foam Company, Inc. (Drew Foam) in June and December 2015, respectively, $0.2 million from Frontier Packaging, Inc. (Frontier) in December
2015, and $0.2 million from Logo Sportswear, Inc. (Logo) in December 2015. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $0.5 million and $1.0 million of success fees, respectively, which resulted from
prepaid success fees of $0.5 million from SOG Specialty Knives & Tools, LLC (SOG) in December 2014, $0.2 million from Auto Safety House, LLC (ASH) in September 2014, $0.2 million from Frontier in September 2014, and
$0.1 million from Mathey Investments, Inc. (Mathey) in September 2014.

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. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded dividend income of $8 and $2.3
million, respectively, which resulted from payments received from Cavert II Holding Corp. (Cavert), Drew Foam and Funko, LLC (Funko). For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $1.4 million and
$2.7 million of dividend income from Mathey, respectively.

Both dividend and success fee income are recorded in other income in our accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Related Party Fees

We have entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with the Adviser, which is 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 Advisor a loan servicing fee as
compensation for its services as servicer under the terms of our Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 30, 2013, as amended (our Credit Facility).

We have entered into an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) with the Administrator whereby we pay separately for
administrative services. These fees are accrued when the services are performed and generally paid one month in arrears. Refer to Note 4Related Party Transactionsfor additional information regarding these related party fees and
agreements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial InstrumentsOverall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which changes how entities measure certain equity investments and how entities present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that
are attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-01 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

##### Table of Contents

ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for certain
aspects of ASU 2016-01 relating to the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected.

In May 2015,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent) (ASU 2015-07), which eliminates the requirement to
categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASBs fair value measurement guidance. We are currently assessing the
impact of ASU 2015-07 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-07 is required to be adopted retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.

In April 2015, the FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU-2015-03), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update 2015-15, Interest  Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (ASU 2015-15), which codifies an SEC
staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as assets. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 and do not anticipate a material impact on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption
permitted. ASU 2015-15 was effective immediately.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02, Amendments to the
Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which amends or supersedes the scope and consolidation guidance under existing GAAP. We do not anticipate ASU-2015-02 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 201415, Presentation of Financial Statements  Going Concern (Subtopic 205
 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial
doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide certain disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial
statements are issued. Since this guidance is primarily around certain disclosures to the financial statements, we anticipate no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. We are currently
assessing the additional disclosure requirements, if any, of ASU 2014-15. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 31, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which
supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will
expand disclosures about revenue. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. In July 2015, the FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those years, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

Fair Value

In accordance with ASC 820, our investments fair value is determined to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which
assumes an orderly transaction between 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.



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



18



---

##### Table of Contents

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



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

When
a determination is made to classify our investments within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, such determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial
instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, observable inputs (or, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2015 and
March 31, 2015, all of our investments were valued using Level 3 inputs. We transfer investments in and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 securities as of the beginning balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs
utilized to perform the valuation for the period. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 and 3.

The following table presents our portfolio investments carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, by caption on our
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and by security type. All investments are primarily valued using Level 3 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy:

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

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements of Investments

The following tables provide the changes in fair value, broken out by security type, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 for
all investments for which the Adviser determines fair value using unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

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 on our accompanying Condensed 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 charge the accounts receivable to the established allowance when
collection efforts have been exhausted and the receivables are deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, we had gross receivables from portfolio companies of $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The
allowance for uncollectible receivables was $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

|(A) | Average total assets subject to the base management fee is defined as total assets, including investments made with proceeds of borrowings, less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings, valued
at the end of the applicable 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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, 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, but are not limited to: (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) 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 voluntarily, unconditionally, and irrevocably credits 100% of these fees against the base management fee that we would otherwise be required to pay to
the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a small percentage of certain of such fees, totaling $56 and $165 and $36 and $81 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is
retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement, at cost, for tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser and primarily for 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 our 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 our 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 (as reduced by cash and cash
equivalents pledged to creditors) during any given calendar year, we treat payment of the loan servicing as a pre-payment of the base management fee under the Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, these loan servicing fees are 100% voluntarily,
unconditionally, and irrevocably credited back to us by the Adviser.

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, 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 (7.0% annualized);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% of our net assets,
adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period, in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% of our net assets, adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period, in any calendar
quarter (8.75% annualized).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 deficit between the fair value of each investment security as of the applicable calculation date and the original cost of such investment
security. We have not incurred capital gains-based incentive fees from inception through December 31, 2015, as cumulative net unrealized capital depreciation has exceeded cumulative realized capital gains net of cumulative realized capital
losses.

Additionally, in accordance with GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital
gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a
reporting period, then GAAP requires us to record a capital gains-based incentive fee equal to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains-based incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then
there is no accrual for such period. GAAP requires that the capital gains-based incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains-based incentive fee would be payable if
such unrealized capital appreciation were realized. There can be no assurance that any such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. There has been no GAAP accrual recorded for a capital gains-based incentive fee since our
inception through December 31, 2015.

Transactions with the Administrator

We pay 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, but not limited to, our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief valuation officer, chief compliance officer and
general counsel and secretary (who also serves as the Administrators president) and their respective staffs. Prior to July 1, 2014, our allocable portion of the expenses was generally derived by multiplying that portion of the
Administrators expenses allocable to all funds managed by the Adviser and serviced by the Administrator by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of each quarter in comparison to the total assets at the beginning of each quarter
of all funds managed by the Adviser and serviced by the Administrator.

Effective July 1, 2014, our allocable portion of the Administrators
expenses are 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. These administrative fees are accrued at the end of the quarter when the services are performed and recorded on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations and generally paid the following quarter. On July 14, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the annual renewal of the Administration Agreement through August 31, 2016.

Other Transactions

Gladstone Securities, LLC
(Securities), a privately-held broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone,
our chairman and chief executive officer, has provided other services, such as investment banking and due diligence services, to certain of our portfolio companies, for which Securities receives a fee. The fees received by Securities from portfolio
companies during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $0.2 million and $0.6 million and $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

Revolving
Line of Credit

On June 26, 2014, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Business Investment, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement originally entered into on April 30, 2013. If not renewed or extended prior to June 26, 2017 (the Revolving Period End Date), all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before
June 26, 2019. As of December 31, 2015, we have retained a one-year extension option, to be agreed upon by all parties, which may be exercised on or before June 26, 2016, and upon exercise, the option would extend the revolving period
to June 26, 2018 and the maturity date to June 26, 2020. Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility can be expanded up to a total facility amount of $250.0 million, through additional commitments of existing or new
committed lenders. Advances under our Credit Facility generally bear interest at 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 3.25% per annum, and our Credit Facility includes a fee of 0.50% on undrawn amounts. After the
Revolving Period End Date, the interest rate margin increases to 3.75% for the period from June 26, 2017 to June 26, 2018, and further increases to 4.25% through maturity.

The following tables summarize noteworthy information related to our Credit Facility:

Among other things, our Credit Facility includes a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in our Credit
Facility to include our mandatory redeemable term preferred stock) of $170.0 million plus 50% of all equity and subordinated debt raised minus any equity or subordinated debt redeemed or retired after June 26, 2014, which equates to
$224.9 million as of December 31, 2015, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and (iii) its status as a BDC under the
1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code. As of December 31, 2015, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $378.9 million, an asset coverage of 488.9%, calculated in compliance with the requirements
of Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and an active status as a BDC and RIC. Our Credit Facility requires a minimum of 12 obligors in the borrowing base and, as of December 31, 2015, we had 28 obligors in the borrowing base. As of
December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility, in July
2013, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with KeyBank National Association that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. The agreement, which expires April 2016, provides that the
interest rate on $45.0 million of our borrowings is capped at 6.0%, plus 3.25% per annum, when 30-day LIBOR is in excess of 6.0%. We incurred a premium fee of $75 in conjunction with this agreement, which is recorded in other assets on our
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the fair value of our interest rate cap agreement was $0.

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. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC
860) 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflects 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, 2018.

Fair Value

We elected to apply the fair value option of
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically for our Credit Facility, which was consistent with our application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of our Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis
which includes a DCF calculation and also takes into account the Valuation Teams own assumptions, including, but not limited to, the estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar
securities as of the measurement date. At each of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of our Credit Facility was 30-day LIBOR, plus 3.25% per annum, plus a 0.50% unused fee.
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 our Credit Facility. At each of December 31, 2015 and March 31,
2015, our Credit Facility was valued using Level 3 inputs and any changes in its fair value are recorded in net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of other on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables present our Credit Facility, carried at fair value on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities
as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, and a roll-forward of the changes in fair value during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

NOTE 6. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In May, 2015, we completed a public offering of 1,610,000 shares of 6.50% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (our Series C Term Preferred
Stock or Series C) at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $40.3 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were $38.6 million. We incurred $1.6
million in total offering costs related this offering, which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending
May 31, 2022, the mandatory redemption date.

The shares of Series C Term Preferred Stock are traded under the ticker symbol GAINN on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market (NASDAQ). Our Series C Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security. Our Series C Term Preferred Stock provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.50% per year, payable
monthly. We are required to redeem all shares of our outstanding Series C Term Preferred Stock on May 31, 2022, 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 C Term Preferred Stock, and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio 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 C Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of our Series C Term Preferred Stock at our sole option at the redemption price in order to have an asset
coverage ratio of up to and including 215.0% and at any time on or after May 31, 2018. The asset coverage on our senior securities that are stock (our Series A, B, and C Term Preferred Stock) as of December 31, 2015 was 216.7%, calculated
pursuant to Section 18 of the 1940 Act.

The tax character of dividends paid by us to preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the extent of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits.

In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, mandatorily
redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet and we have recorded our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock at cost as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015. The related dividend payments to
preferred stockholders are treated as dividend expense on our accompanyingCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations at the ex-dividend date.

The following table summarizes the fair value of each of our series of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock based on the last reported closing sale price as
of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, each of which we consider to be a Level 1 input within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 7. REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND COMMON EQUITY OFFERINGS

Registration Statement

On June 16, 2015, we filed a
registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204996) with the SEC and subsequently filed a Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on July 28, 2015, which the SEC declared effective on July 29, 2015. 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 or
preferred stock, including through concurrent, separate offerings of such securities. We currently have the ability to issue up to $300.0 million in securities under the registration statement. No securities have been issued to date under the
registration statement.

Common Equity Offering

On
March 13, 2015, we completed a public offering of 3.3 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $7.40 per share, which was below our then current NAV per share. Gross proceeds totaled $24.4 million and net proceeds,
after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $23.0 million, which was used to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility. In April 2015, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional
495,000 shares at the public offering price of $7.40 per share to cover over-allotments, which resulted in gross proceeds of $3.7 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, of approximately $3.4
million.

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we are required to distribute to our common stockholders 90% of our investment company taxable income. The amount to be paid
out as distributions to our common stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors quarterly and is based on managements estimate of the investment company taxable income. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares three
monthly distributions to common stockholders each quarter.

The federal income tax characteristics of all distributions (including preferred stock
dividends) will be reported to stockholders on the Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 at the end of each calendar year. For calendar years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, 100% of our common distributions during these periods were deemed to be
paid from ordinary income for 1099 stockholder reporting purposes.

We paid the following monthly distributions to our common stockholders for the nine
months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

|(A) | A special dividend on our common stock of $0.05 per share was declared by our Board of Directors.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aggregate
distributions to common stockholders declared quarterly and paid for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $17.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively, and were declared based on estimates of net investment
income for the respective fiscal years. We determine the tax characterization of our distributions to common stockholders as of the end of our

fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the full year. Therefore, a determination of tax attributes made on a quarterly basis may not be
representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. If we determined the tax attributes of our distributions as of December 31, 2015, 100% would be from ordinary income and 0% would be a return of capital. For the nine
months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $0.8 million of net estimated permanent book-tax differences which decreased Capital in excess of par value, increased Net investment income in excess of distributions by $1.3 million and increased
Accumulated net realized loss by $0.5 million on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, taxable income available for common distributions exceeded
distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $3.9 million of the first common distributions paid in fiscal year 2016, as having been paid in the prior year.

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 December 31, 2015, we have not established reserves for such loss contingencies.

Escrow Holdbacks

From time to time, we will 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 in Other assets, net, if not yet received in cash, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We establish a reserve against
the 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. There were no aggregate reserves recorded against the escrow
amounts as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

Financial Commitments and Obligations

We have lines of credit and other uncalled capital commitments to certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn. Since these lines of
credit and other uncalled capital commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total line of credit and other uncalled capital commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In
February 2015, we executed a capital call commitment with Tread and its senior credit facility lender, which expires in February 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, we may be required to fund additional capital up to $10.0 million in Tread, with
such commitment limited at all times to the actual amount outstanding under Treads senior credit facility. The actual amount outstanding under Treads senior credit facility as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 was $3.2
million and $4.4 million, respectively. We estimate the fair value of the combined unused line of credit and other uncalled capital commitments as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 to be immaterial.

In addition to the lines of credit and other uncalled capital commitments to our portfolio companies, we have also extended certain guaranties on behalf of
one of our portfolio companies. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we have not been required to make any payments on any of the guaranties, and we consider the credit risks to be remote and the fair value of the
guaranties as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 to be immaterial.

As of December 31, 2015, the following guaranties were
outstanding:



| |  |  | In February 2010, we executed a guaranty of a wholesale financing facility agreement (the Floor Plan Facility) between Agricredit Acceptance, LLC (Agricredit) and Country Club Enterprises, LLC
(CCE). The Floor Plan Facility provides CCE with financing of up to $2.0 million to bridge the time and cash flow gap between the order and delivery of golf carts to customers. The guaranty was renewed in February of each subsequent year
through February 2015 and expires in February 2016, unless it is renewed again by us, CCE and Agricredit.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In April 2010, we executed a guaranty of vendor recourse for up to $0.3 million in individual customer transactions (the Recourse Facility) between Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. and CCE. The Recourse
Facility provides CCE with the ability to provide vendor recourse up to a limit of $0.3 million on transactions with long-time customers who lack the financial history to qualify for third-party financing. These individual transactions have terms to
maturity that expire in October 2016.

|(A) | Based on actual common shares outstanding at the end of the corresponding period.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(B) | Based on weighted average basic common share data for the corresponding period.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(C) | Distributions are determined based on taxable income calculated in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined under GAAP. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015
and 2014, distributions were deemed to be made from net investment income.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(D) | During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the dilution is the result of issuing common shares in April 2015 at a price below then current NAV.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(E) | Represents the impact of the different share amounts (weighted average basic common shares outstanding for the corresponding period and actual common shares outstanding at the end of the corresponding period) in the Per
Common Share Data calculations and rounding impacts.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(F) | Total return equals the change in the market value of our common stock from the beginning of the period, taking into account dividends reinvested in accordance with the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan. Total
return does not take into account distributions that may be characterized as a return of capital. For further information on the estimated character of our distributions to common stockholders, please refer to Note 9Distributions to Common
Stockholders.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(G) | Calculated using the average balance of net assets at the end of each month of the reporting period.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(H) | Ratio of expenses to average net assets is computed using expenses before any credits from the Adviser.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(I) | Ratio of net expenses to average net assets is computed using total expenses, net of any voluntary, unconditional, and irrevocable credits to the base management fee for the loan servicing fee and other credits from the
Adviser.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(J) | Had we not received any voluntary, unconditional, and irrevocable credits of fees due to the Adviser, the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 2.90% and 1.62% for the three months ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014, and 3.95% and 4.19% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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 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). In order to continue to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and obtain favorable RIC tax treatment, we must
meet certain requirements, including certain minimum distribution requirements.

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: (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established businesses that we believe will
provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders that grow over time; and (2) provide our stockholders with long-term capital
appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities, generally in combination with the aforementioned debt securities, of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for
capital gains.

##### Table of Contents

To achieve our objectives, our investment strategy is to invest in several categories of debt and equity securities, with each investment generally ranging from $5 million to $30 million,
although investment size may vary, depending upon our total assets or available capital at the time of investment. We expect that our investment portfolio over time will consist of approximately 75.0% in debt securities and 25.0% in equity
securities, at cost. As of December 31, 2015, our investment allocation was 71.4% in debt securities and 28.6% in equity securities, at cost.

We
focus on investing in small and medium-sized private U.S. businesses that meet certain criteria, including, but not limited to, the following: the sustainability of the business free cash flow and its ability to grow it over time, the adequacy
of the portfolio companys 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 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 generally invest in portfolio companies that need funds for growth capital or to finance acquisitions or recapitalize or 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 or management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity. If we are participating in an
investment with one or more co-investors, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone.

In July 2012, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) granted us an exemptive order that expanded our ability to co-invest with certain of our affiliates under certain circumstances and any future business development company or closed-end management investment
company that is advised (or sub-advised if it controls the fund) by our external investment adviser, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the conditions in the SECs order. We believe this ability to co-invest will continue to
enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies.

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

Additionally, Gladstone Securities, LLC (Securities), a privately-held broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer, has provided other services, such as investment
banking and due diligence services, to certain of our portfolio companies, for which Securities receives a fee.

Our shares of common stock, 7.125% Series
A Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (Series A Term Preferred Stock), 6.75% Series B Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (Series B Term Preferred Stock) and 6.50% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (Series C Term
Preferred Stock) are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the trading symbols GAIN, GAINP, GAINO, and GAINN, respectively.

Business

Portfolio Activity

While conditions remain challenging, we are seeing many new investment opportunities consistent with our investment strategy of providing a combination of debt
and equity in support of management and sponsor-led buyouts of small and medium-sized companies in the U.S. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we invested approximately $19.0 million in one new deal and partially exited one
existing deal with a fair value of $26.8 million as of September 30, 2015, resulting in a net increase of one in the number of portfolio companies, which was 36 at December 31, 2015, and a net decrease of 3.9% in our portfolio at fair
value quarter over quarter. The new investment, along with our capital raising efforts discussed below, have allowed us to invest $489.3 million in 29 new debt and equity deals since October 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2015,
our new investments consisted of approximately 70.1% secured first lien loans and 29.9% equity investments, based on the originating principal balances.

Generally, 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 they are received in cash. Due to their contingent nature, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect any or all of these success fees or
know the timing of such collections. As a result, as of December 31, 2015, we had unrecognized success fees of $25.1 million, or $0.83 per

common share. Consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP), we generally have not recognized our success fee receivable and related income in our
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The improved investing environment following the recent recession has presented us with
an opportunity to realize gains and other income from six management-supported buyout liquidity events since June 2010, and in the aggregate, the six liquidity events have generated $71.7 million in net realized gains and $15.0 million in other
income, for a total increase to our net assets of $86.7 million. We believe each of these transactions was an equity-oriented investment success and exemplifies 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 six liquidity events that resulted in net realized gains since October 2010 have significantly offset our cumulative realized losses since inception, which were primarily
incurred during the recession and in connection with the sale of performing loans at a realized loss to pay off a former lender. These successful exits, in part, enabled us to increase the monthly distribution by 56.3% since March 2011, and allowed
us to declare and pay a $0.03 per common share one-time special distribution in fiscal year 2012, a $0.05 per common share one-time special distribution in November 2013, and a $0.05 per common share one-time special distribution in December 2014.

Capital Raising Efforts

Despite the
challenges that have existed in the economy for the past several years, we have been able to meet our capital needs through extensions of and increases to our revolving line of credit (the Credit Facility) and by accessing the capital
markets in the form of public offerings of common and preferred stock. We have successfully extended our Credit Facilitys revolving period multiple times, most recently to June 2017, and increased the commitment from $60.0 million to $185.0
million (with a total commitment of $250.0 million through additional commitments of new or existing lenders). Additionally, we issued approximately 1.7 million shares of our Series B Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $41.4 million in
November 2014, approximately 3.8 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $28.1 million in March 2015, inclusive of the April 2015 overallotment, and approximately 1.6 million shares of our Series C Term Preferred Stock for
gross proceeds of approximately $40.3 million in May 2015. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Common Stock and Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Term Preferred Stock
for further discussion of our common stock and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and Liquidity and Capital Resources  Revolving Credit Facility for further discussion of our Credit Facility.

Although we were able to access the capital markets during 2014 and 2015, we believe market conditions continue to affect the trading price of our common
stock and thus our ability to finance new investments through the issuance of additional equity. On February 2, 2016, the closing market price of our common stock was $7.22 per share, which represented a 16.6% discount to our net asset value
(NAV) of $8.66 per share as of December 31, 2015. When our common stock trades below NAV, our ability to issue additional equity is constrained by provisions of the 1940 Act, which generally prohibit 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 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 6, 2015, 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 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 (our Board of Directors) makes certain determinations prior to any such sale. This August 2015 stockholder authorization is in effect for one year from the date of stockholder
approval. We sought and obtained stockholder approval concerning a similar proposal at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in August 2014, and with our Board of Directors subsequent approval, we issued shares of our common stock in March
and April 2015 at a price per share below the then current NAV per share. We also sought and obtained stockholder approval concerning a similar proposal at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in August 2012, and with our Board of Directors
subsequent approval, we issued shares of our common stock in October and November 2012 at a price per share below the then current NAV per share. The resulting proceeds, in part, have allowed us to grow the portfolio by making new investments,
generate additional income through these new investments, provide us additional equity capital to help ensure continued compliance with regulatory tests and 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.

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 an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18 of the
1940 Act), of at least 200.0% on our senior securities representing indebtedness and our senior securities that are stock (such as our series of term preferred stock).

Investment Income

Total investment income increased by
4.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was due to an increase in interest income which largely resulted from an increase in the size of our interest-bearing portfolio for the three
months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year period.

Interest income from our investments in debt securities increased 17.2% for the
three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. 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 December 31, 2015, was approximately $363.4 million, compared to approximately $307.7
million for the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to approximately $87.8 million in new debt investments originated after December 31, 2014, including Logo Sportswear, Inc. (Logo), Counsel Press, Inc. (Counsel
Press), Brunswick, GI Plastek, Diligent, and Nth Degree.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, our loans to one portfolio company, Tread Corporation
(Tread), were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $1.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investments, excluding cash and cash equivalents and receipts
recorded as other income, was 12.6% and 12.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The weighted average yield varies from period to period, based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing
investments.

Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased by 63.9% from the prior year period. During the three months ended
December 31, 2015, other income primarily consisted of prepayment fees of $0.1 million from Funko and $0.6 million of prepayments of success fees of $0.2 million from each of Drew Foam Company, Inc. (Drew Foam), Frontier Packaging,
Inc. (Frontier), and Logo. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, other income primarily consisted of $1.3 million of dividends

Expenses

Total expenses, net of any voluntary, unconditional, and irrevocable credits from the Adviser, increased 29.9% for the three months ended December 31,
2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in interest and dividend expense, the net base management fee, amortization of deferred financing costs, and other expenses.

The net base management fee increased for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of the increased
size of our portfolio over the respective periods. The incentive fee decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, as net investment income decreased over the respective periods.

The base management fee, loan servicing fee, incentive fee, and their related voluntary, unconditional, and irrevocable credits are computed quarterly, as
described under Transactions with the Adviser in Note 4 Related Party Transactions of the notes to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are summarized in the following table:

|(A) | Average total assets subject to the base management fee is defined as total assets, including investments made with proceeds of borrowings, less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings,

|(C) | Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we make available significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies through the personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser may also provide other services to
our portfolio companies under other agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. At the end of each quarter, the Advisor credits 100.0% of these fees against the base management fee that we would otherwise be
required to pay to the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a small percentage of certain of such fees, primarily for valuation of portfolio companies, is retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement at cost for
certain tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser.

Interest and dividend expense increased 42.9% for the three months ended
December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our Series B Term Preferred Stock issued in November 2014 and the Series C Term Preferred Stock issued in May 2015, and higher costs of borrowings on our Credit
Facility as the decrease in average borrowings outstanding was more than offset by an increase in the effective interest rate. The weighted average balance outstanding on our Credit Facility during the three months ended December 31, 2015, was
$85.0 million, as compared to $97.6 million in the prior year period. The effective interest rate on our Credit Facility, excluding the impact of deferred financing costs, during the three months ended December 31, 2015 was 4.2% as compared to
3.9% in the prior year period. We paid dividends on both the Series B Term Preferred Stock and the Series C Term Preferred Stock for October, November and December 2015, which dividends represented a $1.0 million increase from the prior year period,
when the Series B Term Preferred Stock was newly issued and the Series C Term Preferred Stock was not yet outstanding.

Amortization of deferred financing
costs increased 20.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the issuance of our Series B Term Preferred Stock and Series C Term Preferred Stock in November 2014 and May 2015,
respectively.

Other expenses increased 90.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily as a
result of higher professional fees, including legal fees, due to the increase in the size of our portfolio and related investing activities, and due to approximately $0.2 million of bad debt expense related to our investment in Galaxy, which was
restructured in December 2015.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Net Realized Loss on Investments

During the three months
ended December 31, 2015, we recorded net realized losses of approximately $2.1 million, primarily related to realized losses of $10.5 million and $8.6 million resulting from the restructures of Galaxy and Tread, respectively, partially offset
by a $17.0 million realized gain from the exit of Funko, compared to net realized losses of $0.2 million during the prior year period related to post-closing adjustments on previous investment exits.

The primary driver of net unrealized depreciation of approximately $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31,
2015, was the reversal of $16.0 million of unrealized appreciation previously recorded upon the exit of our investment in Funko as well as a decline in the performance of certain portfolio companies. The increase in net unrealized depreciation was
partially offset by the reversal of $8.8 million of unrealized depreciation previously recorded on our investments in Galaxy and Tread upon their restructures and increased performance of several of our portfolio companies.

The primary driver of net unrealized appreciation of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
2014, was an increase in the equity valuation of two of our portfolio companies, Funko and Cambridge Sound Management, Inc. (Cambridge), due to an increase in company performance and, to a lesser extent, an increase in certain comparable
multiples used to estimate the fair value of our investments. This was partially offset by decreased performance of several of our portfolio companies.

Across our entire investment portfolio, we recorded approximately $7.5 million of net unrealized appreciation on our debt positions and $16.3 million of net
unrealized depreciation on our equity holdings for the three months ended December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than our cost basis by approximately $48.2 million, as compared to $39.4
million at September 30, 2015, representing net unrealized depreciation of $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. We believe that our aggregate investment portfolio is valued at a depreciated value due to the lingering
effects of the recent recession on the performance of certain of our portfolio companies. Our entire portfolio had a fair value of 90.7% of cost as of December 31, 2015.

Investment Income

Total investment income increased by
26.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income, which largely resulted from an increase in the size of our interest-bearing investment
portfolio during the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Interest income from our investments in debt securities increased 30.1% for the nine
months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2015, was approximately $366.7 million, compared to approximately $282.1
million for the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to approximately $87.8 million in new debt investments originated after December 31, 2014, including Logo, Counsel Press, Brunswick, GI Plastek, Diligent, and Nth Degree.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, our loans to one portfolio company, Tread, were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of $1.5 million
and $10.7 million, respectively. The weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investments, excluding cash and cash equivalents and receipts recorded as other income, was 12.6% for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
The weighted average yield varies from period to period, based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments.

Other income for the
nine months ended December 31, 2015 increased by 0.3% from the prior year period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, other income consisted of $2.3 million of dividend income from Drew Foam, Cavert, and Funko, $0.1 million of
prepayment fees from Funko, and $1.4 million of prepaid exit fees resulting from payments from Drew Foam, Frontier, and

Expenses

Total expenses, net of any voluntary, unconditional, and irrevocable credits from the Adviser, increased 45.8% for the nine months ended December 31,
2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in interest and dividend expense, the net base management fee, amortization of deferred financing costs, and other expenses.

The net base management fee increased for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of the increased
size of our portfolio over the respective periods.

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

|(C) | Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we make available significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies through the personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser may also provide other services to
our portfolio companies under other agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. At the end of each quarter, the Advisor credits 100.0% of these fees against the base management fee that we would otherwise be
required to pay to the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a small percentage of certain of such fees, primarily for valuation of portfolio companies, is retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement at cost for
certain tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser.

Interest and dividend expense increased 80.0% for the nine months ended
December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased average borrowings under our Credit Facility and the Series B Term Preferred Stock issued in November 2014 and the Series C Term Preferred Stock issued
in May 2015. The weighted average balance outstanding on our Credit Facility during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $96.2 million, as compared to $74.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in average borrowings under our
Credit Facility was partially offset by a decrease in the effective interest rate due to an amendment of our Credit Facility that occurred in June 2014. We paid dividends on the Series B Term Preferred Stock each month from April to December 2015
and dividends on the Series C Term Preferred Stock for the pro-rated month of May 2015 and each month from June to December 2015, which dividends represented a $3.4 million increase from the prior year period, when the Series B Term Preferred Stock
was newly issued and Series C Term Preferred Stock were not yet outstanding.

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased 51.9% for the nine months
ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, due to the amendment of our Credit Facility in June 2014, the addition of new lenders to our Credit Facility in September 2014 and the issuance of our Series B Term Preferred
Stock and Series C Term Preferred Stock in November 2014 and May 2015, respectively.

Other expenses increased 44.3% for the nine months ended
December 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of higher professional fees, including legal fees, due to the increase in the size of our portfolio and related investing activities, and due to approximately $0.2
million of bad debt expense related to our investment in Galaxy, which was restructured in December 2015.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Realized Loss on Investments

During the nine months ended
December 31, 2015, we recorded net realized losses of $4.6 million, primarily related to realized losses from the restructures of Galaxy, NDLI, and Tread of $10.5 million, $2.8 million, and $8.6 million, respectively, partially offset by a
realized gain of $17.0 million related to the sale of Funko, compared to a net realized loss of $0.2 million in the prior period relating to post-closing adjustments on previous investment exits.

The primary driver of net unrealized depreciation of $9.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, was the
reversal of $17.5 million of previously recorded unrealized appreciation on our investments in Cavert and Funko upon their exits as well as a decline in the performance of certain portfolio companies. This unrealized depreciation was partially
offset by the reversal of $12.3 million of previously recorded unrealized depreciation on our investments in Galaxy, NDLI, and Tread upon their restructure and increased performance by several of our portfolio companies, and, to a lesser extent, an
increase in certain comparable multiples used to estimate the fair value of our investments.

The primary driver of net unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended
December 31, 2014, was increased performance by several of our portfolio companies and an increase in certain comparable multiples used to estimate the fair value of our investments.

Across our entire investment portfolio, we recorded approximately $16.0 million of net unrealized appreciation on our debt positions and $25.0 million of net
unrealized depreciation on our equity holdings for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than our cost basis by approximately $48.2 million, as compared to $39.2
million at March 31, 2015, representing net unrealized depreciation of $9.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. We believe that our aggregate investment portfolio is valued at a depreciated value due to the lingering
effects of the recent recession on the performance of certain of our portfolio companies. Our entire portfolio had a fair value of 90.7% of cost as of December 31, 2015.

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Other

There was no net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our Credit Facility for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. For the nine months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $0.5 million of net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by
operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, was $5.4 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $56.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. This change was primarily due to
decreased purchases of investments and increased investment repayments and net proceeds from sales of investments period over period. Total disbursements (both new investments and disbursements to existing portfolio companies) net of scheduled and
unscheduled principal repayments and net proceeds from sales of investments were $19.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $74.0 million in the prior period.

As of December 31, 2015, we had equity investments in or loans to 36 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $519.9 million. As
of December 31, 2014, we had equity investments in or loans to 32 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $457.4 million. The following table summarizes our total portfolio investment activity during the nine months
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, was approximately $4.6 million, which consisted primarily of $29.6
million of net repayments on our Credit Facility and $17.0 million in distributions to common stockholders, partially offset by $38.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our Series C Term Preferred Stock in May 2015 and $3.4 million of net
proceeds from the issuance of common shares in April 2015. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, was approximately $57.0 million, which consisted primarily of $34.6 million of net borrowings on
our Credit Facility. In addition, we had proceeds from the issuance of our Series B Term Preferred Stock in November 2014 of $41.4 million partially offset by $15.6 million in distributions to common stockholders.

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 to distribute to our common stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our investment company taxable income.
Additionally, our 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, but not limited to, 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 $0.0625 per common share for each of the nine months from April 2015 through December 2015. Our Board of Directors declared these distributions based on estimates of net taxable income for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.

For federal income tax purposes, we determine the tax characterization of our common distributions as of the end
of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full fiscal year. The characterization of the common stockholder distributions declared and paid for the year ending March 31, 2016 will
be determined after the 2016 fiscal year end based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the full year. Such a characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual full year
characterization.

For the year ended March 31, 2015, distributions to common stockholders totaled of $20.6 million and were less than our taxable
income for the same year, when also considering prior year spillover amounts under Section 855(a) of the Code. In addition, we recorded a $0.6 million adjustment for estimated permanent book-tax differences, which decreased capital in excess of
par value and increased net investment income in excess of distributions. At March 31, 2015, we elected to treat $3.9 million of the first distribution paid after fiscal year-end as having been paid in the prior fiscal year, in accordance with
Section 855(a) of the Code.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Our Board of Directors declared and we paid monthly cash dividends of $0.1484375 per share to holders of our Series A Term Preferred Stock and $0.140625 per
share to holders of our Series B Term Preferred Stock for each of the nine months from April 2015 through December 2015. In May 2015, our Board of Directors declared a combined dividend for a pro-rated portion of May 2015 and the full amount for the
month of June 2015, which totaled $0.221181 per share, to the holders of our Series C Term Preferred Stock. At subsequent meetings, our Board of Directors declared and we paid monthly dividends of approximately $0.135417 per share to the holders of
our Series C Term Preferred Stock for each of the six months from July 2015 through December 2015. In accordance with GAAP, we treat these monthly dividends as an operating expense. For federal income tax purposes, the dividends paid by us to
preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

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. 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 so elect will receive their distributions in cash. Common stockholders who receive distributions in the form of stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax
consequences as stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. The common stockholder will have an adjusted basis in the additional common shares purchased through the plan equal to the amount of the reinvested distribution. The
additional 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. Our plan agent purchases shares in the open market in connection with the
obligations under the plan. We do not have a dividend reinvestment plan for our preferred stock stockholders.

Equity

Registration Statement

On June 16, 2015, we
filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204996) with the SEC and subsequently filed a Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on July 28, 2015, which the SEC declared effective on July 29,
2015. 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 or preferred stock, including through concurrent, separate offerings of such securities. No securities have been issued to date under the registration statement and we currently have the ability to issue up to $300.0 million in securities
under the registration statement.

Common Stock

Pursuant to our previously effective registration statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-181879), on March 13, 2015, we completed a public
offering of 3.3 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $7.40 per share, which was below then current NAV of $8.55 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $24.4 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts
and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $23.0 million, which were primarily used to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility. In connection with the offering, on April 2, 2015, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an
additional 495,000

##### Table of Contents

shares at the public offering price to cover over-allotments, which resulted in gross proceeds of $3.7 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by
us, of approximately $3.4 million.

We anticipate issuing equity securities to obtain additional capital in the future. However, we cannot determine the
terms of any future equity issuances or whether we will be able to issue equity on terms favorable to us, or at all. When our common stock is trading at a price below NAV per share, as it has predominantly since September 30, 2008, 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. On February 2, 2016, the closing market price of our common stock was $7.22 per share,
representing a 16.6% discount to our NAV of $8.66 per share as of December 31, 2015. To the extent that our common stock continues to trade at a market price below our NAV per common share, we will generally be precluded from raising equity
capital through public offerings of our common stock, other than pursuant to stockholder approval or through a rights offering to existing common stockholders. At our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 6, 2015, 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.

Term Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our prior registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-160720), in March 2012, we completed an offering of 1,600,000 shares of our Series
A Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $40.0 million, and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $38.0 million, a portion of
which was used to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility, with the remaining proceeds being held to make additional investments and for general corporate purposes. We incurred $2.0 million in total offering costs related to the offering, which
have been recorded as deferred financing costs on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending February 28, 2017, the mandatory redemption date.

Our Series A Term Preferred Stock provides for a fixed dividend equal to 7.125% per year, payable monthly (which equates to $2.9 million per year). We
are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series A Term Preferred Stock on February 28, 2017, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, to the date of
redemption. Our Series A Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security. In addition, three other potential 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 the outstanding Series A Term Preferred Stock; (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 200%, we are required to redeem a portion of the outstanding Series A
Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger and (3) at our sole option, at any time on or after February 28, 2016, we may redeem some or all of our Series A Term Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to our prior registration statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-181879), in November 2014, we completed a public offering of 1,656,000
shares of our Series B Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $41.4 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were $39.7 million. We incurred
$1.7 million in total offering costs related to this offering, which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending
December 31, 2021, the mandatory redemption date.

Our Series B Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security.
Our Series B Term Preferred Stock provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.75% per year, payable monthly (which equates to $2.8 million per year). We are required to redeem all shares of our outstanding Series B Term Preferred Stock on
December 31, 2021, 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 B Term Preferred Stock, and (2) if we fail to maintain an
asset coverage ratio of at least 200%, we are required to redeem a portion of our outstanding Series B Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of our Series B Term
Preferred Stock at our sole option at the redemption price in order to have an asset coverage ratio of up to and including 215.0% and at any time on or after December 31, 2017.

Also, pursuant to our prior registration statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333-181879), in May 2015, we completed a public offering of 1,610,000
shares of our Series C Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $40.3 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were $38.6 million. We incurred
$1.6 million in total offering costs related to this offering, which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on our

accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period ending May 31, 2022, the mandatory redemption date.

Our Series C Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security. Our Series C Term Preferred Stock provides for a fixed
dividend equal to 6.50% per year, payable monthly (which equates to $2.6 million per year). We are required to redeem all shares of our outstanding Series C Term Preferred Stock on May 31, 2022, 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 C Term Preferred Stock, and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 200%, we are required to redeem a
portion of our outstanding Series C Term Preferred Stock or otherwise cure the ratio redemption trigger. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of our Series C Term Preferred Stock at our sole option at the redemption price in order to have
an asset coverage ratio of up to and including 215.0% and at any time on or after May 31, 2018.

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 A, B, and C 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 A, B, and C Term Preferred Stock) as of December 31, 2015 was 216.7%, calculated pursuant to Section 18 of the 1940 Act.

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 26, 2014,
we, through Business Investment, entered into Amendment No. 1 to our Credit Facility, with KeyBank, administrative agent, lead arranger and a lender; other lenders; and the Adviser, as servicer, to extend the revolving period and reduce the
interest rate of our revolving line of credit. The revolving period was extended 14 months to June 26, 2017, and if not renewed or extended by June 26, 2017 (the Revolving Period End Date), all principal and interest will be
due and payable on or before June 26, 2019. As of December 31, 2015, we have retained a one-year extension option, to be agreed upon by all parties, which may be exercised on or before June 26, 2016, and upon exercise, the option
would extend the revolving period to June 26, 2018 and the maturity date to June 26, 2020. Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility can be expanded by up to $145.0 million, to a total facility amount of $250 million,
through additional commitments of existing or new committed lenders. Advances under our Credit Facility generally bear interest at 30-day LIBOR, plus 3.25% per annum, down from 3.75% prior to the amendment, and our Credit Facility includes an
unused fee of 0.50% on undrawn amounts. After the Revolving Period End Date, the interest rate margin increases to 3.75% for the period from June 26, 2017 to June 26, 2018, and further increases to 4.25% through maturity. We incurred fees
of $0.4 million in connection with this amendment, which are being amortized through our Credit Facilitys revolver period end date of June 26, 2017.

On September 19, 2014, we further increased our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility from $105.0 million to $185.0 million by entering into
Joinder Agreements pursuant to our Credit Facility, by and among Business Investment, KeyBank, the Adviser and other lenders. We incurred fees of $1.3 million in connection with this expansion, which are being amortized through our Credit
Facilitys revolver period end date of June 26, 2017.

Our 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 material changes to our credit and collection policies without lenders consent.
The Credit Facility generally also limits distributions to be no greater than the sum of certain amounts, including, but not limited to, 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, for each of the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2017. We are also subject to certain limitations on the type of loan investments we
can make, including restrictions on geographic concentrations, sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life and lien property. Our Credit Facility also requires us to comply with other financial and operational
covenants, which obligate us to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of obligors required in the borrowing base of the credit agreement. Additionally, we are subject to a
performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth of $170.0 million plus 50.0% of all equity and subordinated debt raised minus any equity or subordinated debt redeemed or retired after June 26, 2014, which equates
to $224.9 million as of December 31, 2015, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and (iii) our
status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code. As of December 31, 2015, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $378.9 million, an asset coverage of 488.9% and an active status
as a BDC and RIC. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility.

Our Credit Facility also requires that any interest or principal payments on pledged loans be remitted directly
by the borrower into a lockbox account with KeyBank and with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as custodian. KeyBank is also the trustee of the account and generally remits the collected funds to us once a month.

Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility, in July 2013, we entered into a forward interest rate cap agreement, effective October 2013 and expiring April
2016, for a notional amount of $45.0 million. We incurred a premium fee of $75 in conjunction with this agreement. The interest rate cap agreement effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of the borrowings pursuant to the terms of our
Credit Facility.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As
of December 31, 2015, we had off-balance sheet success fee receivables of $25.1 million (or approximately $0.83 per common share) on our accruing debt investments that would be owed to us based on our current portfolio if fully paid off.
Consistent with GAAP, we have not recognized our success fee receivable on our balance sheet or income statement. Due to our success fees contingent nature, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect all of these success fees or
know the timing of such collections.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We have lines of credit and other uncalled capital commitments to certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn. Since these lines of
credit and uncalled capital commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total line of credit and other uncalled capital commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We estimate the
fair value of the combined unused lines of credit and other uncalled capital commitments as of December 31, 2015 to be immaterial.

In addition to
the lines of credit and other uncalled capital commitments to our portfolio companies, we have also extended certain guaranties on behalf of one of our portfolio companies, whereby we have guaranteed an aggregate of $2.3 million of obligations of
Country Club Enterprises, LLC (CCE). As of December 31, 2015, we have not been required to make any payments on any of the guaranties, and we consider the credit risks to be remote and the fair value of the guaranties to be
immaterial.

The following table shows our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2015, at cost:

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) (the Policy) as our most critical accounting policy, which
is described in Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Additionally, refer to Note
3Investments in the accompanying notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding fair value measurements and our application of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820).

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 our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this 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, used as inputs in our valuation techniques. Generally, we, through
the Adviser, participate in periodic board meetings of our portfolio companies in which we hold board seats and also require them to provide annual audited and monthly unaudited financial statements. Using these statements or comparable information
and board discussions, the Adviser calculates and evaluates certain credit statistics.

The Adviser risk rates all of our investments in debt securities.
The Adviser does not risk rate our equity securities. For loans that have been rated by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act), the Adviser generally uses the average
of two corporate level NRSROs risk ratings for such security. For all other debt securities, the Adviser uses a proprietary risk rating system. 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 medium-sized companies do not exceed the grade of
BBB on an NRSRO scale, so there would be no debt securities in the middle market that would meet the definition of AAA, AA or A. Therefore, the Advisers scale begins with the designation >10 as the best risk rating which may be equivalent
to a BBB from an NRSRO; however, no assurance can be given that a >10 on the Advisers scale is equal to a BBB or Baa2 on an NRSRO scale. The 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 December 31, 2015 and March 31,
2015:



|                 |  |                  |      |  |               |  |      | 
|---------------- |  | ---------------- | ---- |  | ------------- |  | ---- | 
|Rating           |  | December 31,2015 |      |  | March 31,2015 | 
|Highest          |  |                  | 10.0 |  |               |  | 10.0 | 
|Average          |  |                  | 6.2  |  |               |  | 5.9  | 
|Weighted Average |  |                  | 6.4  |  |               |  | 6.4  | 
|Lowest           |  |                  | 3.0  |  |               |  | 3.0  | 

Tax Status

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

In an effort to limit certain federal excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute to our
stockholders, during each calendar year, an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98.0% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the
calendar year, and (3) any ordinary income and capital gain net income from preceding years that were not distributed during such years. Under the RIC Modernization Act (the RIC Act), we are permitted to carryforward capital losses
incurred in taxable years beginning after September 30, 2011, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years,
which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term
or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under the Treasury regulations applicable to pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards. Our total capital loss carry forward balance was $0.3 million as of
March 31, 2015.

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;
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 is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, there can
be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. We use a combination of debt and equity capital to finance our investing activities. We 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 variables rates with a floor
mechanism. Currently, all of our variable-rate loans have rates associated with the current 30-day LIBOR rate. As of December 31, 2015, our portfolio consisted of the following breakdown based on total principal balance of all outstanding debt
investments:



| |       |   |  |                            
| | ----- | - |  | ---------------------------
| | 85.8  | % |  | Variable rates with a floor
| | 14.2  |   |  | Fixed rates                
| |       |   |  |                            
| | 100.0 | % |  | Total                      
| |       |   |  |                            

There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2015 from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of
December 31, 2015 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management, including the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 this section and 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, 2015, as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2015 and Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC on August 4, 2015. The risks
described below and in our Quarterly and Annual Reports 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.

We may not be permitted to declare a dividend or make any distribution to stockholders or
repurchase shares until such time as we satisfy the asset coverage tests under the provisions of the 1940 Act that apply to BDCs. As a BDC, we have the ability to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in
the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the
nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our debt at a time when such sales and/or repayments may be disadvantageous.

Regulations governing our
operation as a BDC and RIC will affect our ability to raise, and the way in which we raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on our growth. As a result of the annual distribution requirement to
qualify as a RIC, we may need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments. We may issue senior securities, including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions only in amounts such
that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. Further, we may not be permitted to declare a dividend or make any distribution to our outstanding stockholders or repurchase shares until
such time as we satisfy this test. Our ability to issue different types of securities is also limited. Compliance with these requirements may unfavorably limit our investment opportunities and reduce our ability in comparison to other companies to
profit from favorable spreads between the rates at which we can borrow and the rates at which we can lend. As a BDC, therefore, we intend to continuously issue equity at a rate more frequent than our privately owned competitors, which may lead to
greater stockholder dilution. We have incurred leverage to generate capital to make additional investments. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test under the 1940 Act, which could prohibit us from
paying distributions and could prevent us from qualifying as a RIC. If we cannot satisfy the asset coverage test, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our debt financing, repay a portion of our
indebtedness at a time when such sales and repayments may be disadvantageous.
