rate (commonly the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrowers option. In addition, approximately 79% of such senior secured loans have floors of 0.50% to 1.25%. The borrower under a senior secured loan generally has the option to
select from interest reset periods of one, two, three or six months and may alter that selection at the end of any reset period. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at September 30, 2015 of all contracts
within the specified loan facility.

rate (commonly the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrowers option. In addition, approximately 81% of such senior secured loans have floors of 0.50% to 1.50%. The borrower under a senior secured loan generally has the option to
select from interest reset periods of one, two, three or six months and may alter that selection at the end of any reset period. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2014 of all contracts within
the specified loan facility.

BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization

BlackRock Capital
Investment Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company), formerly known as BlackRock Kelso Capital Corporation and subsidiaries, was organized as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2005 and was initially funded on July 25, 2005.
The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). In addition, for tax purposes the Company has qualified and has elected to be treated as
a regulated investment company (RIC) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code).

The Companys
investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in middle-market companies in the form of senior and junior secured and unsecured debt securities and
loans, each of which may include an equity component, and by making direct preferred, common and other equity investments in such companies.

Significant accounting policies

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP). The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 946,
Financial Services-Investment Company (ASC 946).

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual
financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on March 5, 2015.

The interim financial information at September 30, 2015 and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim information includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys results for the
periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other
parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material.

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were established to hold certain investments of the Company. The Company owns 100% of each subsidiary and, as such, the subsidiaries
are consolidated into the Companys consolidated financial statements. The subsidiaries hold investments which are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. By investing through these 100% owned subsidiaries, the Company is able to
benefit from corporate tax treatment

for these entities and thereby create a tax structure that is more advantageous with respect to the RIC status of the Company. Transactions between the Company and subsidiaries, to the extent
they occur, are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date unless there are substantial conditions to the purchase. Realized gains or losses
are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded
unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless they are deemed not to represent fair
value. The Company obtains market quotations, when available, from an independent pricing service or one or more broker-dealers or market makers and utilizes the average of the range of bid and ask quotations. Debt and equity securities for which
market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Companys Board of Directors.

Because the Company expects that there will not be a readily available market for substantially all of the investments in its portfolio, the
Company expects to value substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors using a consistently applied valuation process in accordance with a documented
valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the
Companys investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may have differing impacts on the market quotations used to value some of the
Companys investments than on the fair values of the Companys investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where BlackRock
Advisors, LLC, the Companys investment advisor (the Advisor), believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security cause current market quotations to not
reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include cases where a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale, where there is a forced sale by a distressed seller, where
market quotations vary substantially among market makers, or where there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread.

With respect to the Companys investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed
not to represent fair value, the Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process applied each quarter, as described below:

(i) The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially evaluated and rated by the investment
professionals of the Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment;

(ii) The investment professionals provide recent portfolio company
financial statements and other reporting materials to independent valuation firms engaged by the Board of Directors, such firms conduct independent appraisals each quarter and their preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with
senior management of the Advisor;

(iii) The audit committee of the Board of Directors reviews the preliminary valuations prepared by the
independent valuation firms; and

##### Table of Contents

(iv) The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment
in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value
are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities
(including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market
expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in determining the fair value of its investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current
market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral,
the portfolio companys ability to make payments, (e.g. non-performance risk), its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public,
M&A comparables, the Companys principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values.

Until the end of the second
calendar quarter following its acquisition, each unquoted investment in a new portfolio company generally is held at amortized cost, which the Advisor believes approximates fair value under the circumstances. As of that date, an independent
valuation firm conducts an initial independent appraisal of the investment.

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(ASC 820-10), issued by the FASB, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. See Note 10 for further details.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include short-term liquid overnight investments.

Revenue recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Discounts and premiums to
par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security. Premiums and discounts are determined based on the cash flows expected to be received for a particular investment upon maturity.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and is adjusted to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. For
loans and securities with payment-in-kind (PIK) income, which represents contractual interest or dividends accrued and added to the principal balance and generally due at maturity, such income is accrued only to the extent that the
Advisor believes that the PIK income is likely to be collected. To maintain the Companys status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected
the cash.

Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and
are recognized as revenue when earned. In instances where the Company does not perform significant services in connection with the related investment, fees paid to the Company may be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the investment.
Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

U.S. Federal income taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment
applicable to RICs.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its
stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any
undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to
do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required.

Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to
paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax
characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Companys annual RIC tax return.

Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the
Companys capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.

The final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the fiscal year and is reported in the Companys annual report to
shareholders. Distributions can be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital. To the extent that distributions exceed the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess may be treated as a
non-taxable return of capital. Distributions that exceed a Companys taxable income but do not exceed the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits, may be classified as ordinary income which are taxable to shareholders.

Distributions to Common Stockholders

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the
Board of Directors. Net realized capital gains, if any, generally are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of stockholders, unless a
stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash distribution, then stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash
dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions.

Foreign
Currency

Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:



| | (i) | market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilitiesat the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expensesat the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates
described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations
are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign
currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest
rate method.

Equity Offering Expenses

The Company records registration expenses related to its shelf registration statement and related SEC filings as prepaid assets. These
expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC 946.

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status, as a general matter, when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or
more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt
securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements
judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which significantly
amends the consolidation analysis required under current consolidation guidance. The amendments include changes to: (i) the VIE analysis for limited partnerships; (ii) the criteria for evaluating whether fees paid to a decision maker or a
service provider are a variable interest; (iii) the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary (PB) determination; (iv) the effect of related parties on the PB determination; and (v) the consolidation evaluation
for certain investment funds. This includes a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt
Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the related debt liability
rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.

ASU 2015-02 and ASU 2015-03 are effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-02 and ASU 2015-03 permits early adoption in an interim period with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that
includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements of adopting the provisions of ASU 2015-02 and ASU 2015-03.

3. Agreements and related party transactions

Investment management agreement

At a Special Meeting of the Companys Stockholders, held on February 18, 2015, the Companys stockholders approved a new
investment management agreement (Management Agreement) between the Company and BlackRock Advisors, LLC to permit the Advisor to serve as the Companys investment adviser following the completion of the sale of certain assets related
to managing the Company from the Companys previous investment adviser, BlackRock Kelso Capital Advisors LLC, to the Advisor (the Transaction). The Transaction was completed on March 6, 2015 and, pursuant to the new
investment management agreement, dated as of March 6, 2015, the Companys investment activities are currently managed by the Advisor. Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the Company had entered into an investment management
agreement with BlackRock Kelso Capital Advisors LLC, the Companys previous adviser, which is referred to as the previous agreement. The Companys current investment management agreement has the same management and
incentive fees as the previous agreement until March 6, 2017 and thereafter will have different management and incentive fees.

Base Management Fee

Under the current investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, manages the
day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory services. For providing these services, the Advisor receives, until March 6, 2017, a base management fee at an annual rate of 2.0% of total assets, including any assets
acquired with the proceeds of leverage, payable quarterly in arrears. After March 6, 2017, the Advisor will receive a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of total assets (excluding cash), including any assets acquired with the
proceeds of leverage, payable quarterly in arrears based on total asset valuation at the end of the prior quarter.

The investment
management agreement became effective on March 6, 2015. Unless earlier terminated, the investment management agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from the date it first became effective and will remain in effect from
year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of the directors who are not
interested persons.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Advisor earned $5,784,734 and $18,691,632,
respectively, in Management Fees under the investment management agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Advisor earned $5,621,443 and $17,892,011, respectively.

Incentive Management Fee Until March 6, 2017

The current investment management agreement provides that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to an incentive management fee (the
Incentive Fee) as described below under certain circumstances until March 6, 2017. The Incentive Fee is calculated in the same manner as the incentive fee in the previous investment management agreement. The determination of the
Incentive Fee, as described in more detail below, will result in the Advisor or its affiliates receiving no Incentive Fee payments if returns to stockholders do not meet an 8.0% annualized rate of return during the applicable fee measurement period,
and will result in the Advisor or its affiliates receiving less than the full amount of the Incentive Fee percentage until returns to stockholders exceed an approximate 13.3% annualized rate of return during such period. Annualized rate of return in
this context is computed by reference to net asset value and does not take into account changes in the market price of the common stock.

The Advisor will be entitled to receive the Incentive Fee if the performance exceeds a hurdle rate during different measurement
periods: trailing four quarters periods (which apply only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income) and annual periods (which apply only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital

##### Table of Contents

gains). The trailing four quarters periods for purposes of determining the income portion of the Incentive Fee payable for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2015 and 2014 was determined by reference to the four quarter periods ended on September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The term annual period means the period beginning on July 1 of each calendar year and ending on
June 30 of the next calendar year.

The hurdle rate for each measurement period is 2.0% multiplied by net asset values at the
beginning of each calendar quarter during the measurement period, calculated after giving effect to any distributions that occurred during the measurement period. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on income and a portion is based on capital
gains. Each portion of the Incentive Fee is described below.

Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income Until March 6, 2017

For each trailing four quarters period, the Company will pay the Advisor an Incentive Fee based on the amount by which
(A) aggregate distributions and amounts distributable out of taxable net income (excluding any capital gain and loss), during the period less the amount, if any, by which net unrealized capital depreciation exceeds net realized capital gains /
losses during the period, is in excess of (B) the hurdle rate for the period. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for each period is referred to as the excess income amount.

It should be noted that net realized capital gains / losses during the period are calculated as the proceeds received upon disposition less the
fair market value as of the beginning of the measurement period. Since this calculation is not cumulative, but rather performed on a trailing four quarters period, fluctuations in fair market values are captured in net unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of prior measurement periods.

The portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for each period will equal 50% of the
periods excess income amount, until the cumulative Incentive Fee payments for the period equal 20% of the periods income amount distributed or distributable to stockholders as described in clause (A) of the preceding paragraph.
Thereafter, the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period will equal 20% of the periods amount distributed or distributable to stockholders.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Advisor earned zero and $11,061, respectively, and zero for both the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2014, in Incentive Fees based on income from the Company.

Annual Incentive Fee Based on
Capital Gains Until March 6, 2017

The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated and paid on an
annual basis beginning on July 1 of each annual period and ending on June 30 of the next calendar year. The portion of Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated in the same manner as such portion of the incentive fee in the prior
investment management agreement. For each annual period, the Company pays the Advisor an Incentive Fee on capital gains based on the amount by which (A) net realized capital gains, if any, exceeds gross unrealized capital depreciation, if any,
occurring during the period in excess of (B) the amount, if any, by which the periods hurdle rate exceeds the amount of income used in the determination of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period. The amount of the excess of
(A) over (B) described in this paragraph is referred to as the excess gain amount.

It should be noted that net realized capital
gains during the period are calculated as the proceeds received upon disposition in excess of the lower of each securitys amortized cost or fair market value as of the beginning of the measurement period. Since this calculation is not
cumulative, but rather performed on an annual period commencing each July 1, any unrealized depreciation on a security, if any, will be captured in the gross unrealized depreciation of a prior period.

The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for each period will equal 50% of the periods excess gain amount, until such
payments equal 20% of the periods capital gain amount distributed or distributable to stockholders. Thereafter, the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for the period

##### Table of Contents

equals an amount such that the portion of the Incentive Fee payments to the Advisor based on capital gains for the period equals 20% of the periods capital gain amount distributed or
distributable to stockholders. The result of this formula is that, if the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for the period exceeds the periods hurdle, then the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains will be capped at
20% of the capital gain amount.

In calculating whether the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is payable with respect to
any period, we account for assets on a security-by-security basis. In addition, the Company uses the period-to-period method pursuant to which the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for any period is based on realized
capital gains for the period reduced by realized capital losses and gross unrealized capital depreciation for the period. Based on current interpretations of Section 205(b)(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by the SEC and its staff, the
calculation of unrealized depreciation for each portfolio security over a period is based on the fair value of the security at the end of the period compared to the fair value at the beginning of the period. Incentive Fees earned in any of the
periods described above are not subject to modification or repayment based upon performance in a subsequent period.

The Company is
required under GAAP to accrue a hypothetical capital gains Incentive Fee based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. The accrual of this hypothetical
capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable at each measurement date. If such amount is positive at the end
of the period, then we record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the amount of capital gains related incentive fees already accrued in prior periods. If the resulting amount is negative, the accrual for GAAP in a given
period may result in the reduction of an expense. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. However, it should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the
Advisers Act or the investment management agreement. Amounts actually paid will be consistent with the Advisers Act which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.

The capital gains incentive fee due to the Advisor as calculated under the investment management agreement as described above, at
September 30, 2015 and 2014 was zero. In accordance with GAAP, the hypothetical liquidation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, resulted in a capital gains incentive fee (reversal)/accrual of $(4,224,731) and
$(3,200,520), respectively, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulted in a capital gains incentive fee (reversal)/accrual of $593,837 and $7,022,626. The total cumulative accrued balance at September 30, 2015 and 2014
was zero and $17,247,288, respectively.

Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income After March 6, 2017

After March 6, 2017, the investment management agreement provides that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to an incentive
management fee under certain circumstances. The Incentive Fee has two parts. The first portion is based on income other than capital gains and is calculated separately for each calendar quarter and will be paid on a quarterly basis. The Company will
pay the Advisor the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income for each period as follows:



| |  |  | (i) No Incentive Fee based on income other than capital gains for any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed 1.75% (7.00% annualized) of net assets attributable to common
stock at the beginning of such quarter.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, for such calendar quarter, that exceeds 1.75% (7.00%
annualized) of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such quarter but is less than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | (iii) 20% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, for any calendar quarter, that exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such quarter.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The payment of any such Incentive Fee based on income otherwise earned by the Advisor will be
deferred if, for the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the Annualized Rate of Return is less than 7.0% of net assets attributable to common stock at the beginning of such four
quarter period as adjusted for the net proceeds from any common stock issuances and the cost of any common stock repurchases during such four full calendar quarter period, with any deferred Incentive Fees to be carried over for payment in subsequent
quarterly calculation periods to the extent such payment can then be made in accordance with the investment management agreement.

Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains After March 6, 2017

The second portion of the Incentive Fee is based on capital gains and is calculated separately for each Annual Period. The Advisor will be
entitled to receive an Incentive Fee based on capital gains for each Annual Period in an amount equal to 20% of the amount by which (1) net realized capital gains occurring during the period, if any, exceeds (2) gross unrealized capital
depreciation, if any, occurring during the period. In calculating the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains payable for any period, investments are accounted for on a security-by-security basis. In addition, the portion of the
Incentive Fee based on capital gains is determined using the period-to-period method pursuant to which the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains for any period will be based on realized capital gains for the period reduced
by realized capital losses for the period and unrealized capital depreciation for the period.

For purposes of calculating the Incentive
Fee, (i) Annual Period means the period beginning on July 1 of each calendar year, including the calendar year prior to the year in which the investment management agreement became effective, and ending on June 30 of the
next calendar year; (ii) Annualized Rate of Return is computed by reference to the sum of (i) the aggregate distributions to common stockholders for the period in question and (ii) the change in net assets attributable to
common stock (before taking into account any Incentive Fees otherwise payable during such period); (iii) net assets attributable to common stock means total assets less indebtedness and preferred stock; and
(iv) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means net investment income (as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles) accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter excluding any
accruals for or payments in respect of the Incentive Fee.

Advisor Reimbursements

The investment management agreement provides that the Company will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for
administrative or operating services, office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to the Advisor under the investment management agreement and provided to the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015,
the Company incurred $309,730 and $714,343, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $190,964 and $532,238, respectively, for such investment advisor expenses under the Management Agreement.

From time to time, the Advisor may pay amounts owed by the Company to third party providers of goods or services. The Company will
subsequently reimburse the Advisor for such amounts paid on its behalf. Reimbursements to the Advisor for such purposes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $357,173 and $1,282,884 respectively. Reimbursements to the
Advisor for such purposes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $406,861 and $1,616,263, respectively.

No
person who is an officer, director or employee of the Advisor and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for services as a director of the Company. Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisor receive
compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings.

Administration

The Company also has entered into an administration agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the Administrator) under
which the Administrator provides certain administrative services to the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for

the Companys allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and the
Companys allocable portion of the cost of certain of the Companys officers and their respective staffs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $277,893 and $1,394,644, respectively, for
administrative services expenses payable to the Administrator under the administration agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $492,840 and $1,547,967 respectively, for such expenses.

Advisor Stock Transactions

Effective upon completion of the Transaction, BlackRock Advisors, LLC assumed the role as investment adviser to the Company. BlackRock
Advisors, LLC does not own any shares of the Company at September 30, 2015.

At December 31, 2014, the previous advisor,
BlackRock Kelso Capital Advisors LLC, owned and had the right to vote approximately 244,000 shares of the Companys common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total shares outstanding. At December 31, 2014, under compensation
arrangements for its officers and employees the previous Advisor owned of record but did not have the right to vote an additional 61,000 shares of the Companys common stock.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other entities affiliated with the Administrator and Advisor beneficially owned
approximately 347,000 and 3,383,000 shares, respectively, of the Companys common stock, representing approximately 0.5% and 4.5%, respectively, of the total shares outstanding. An entity affiliated with the Administrator has ownership and
financial interests in the Advisor.

The geographic composition of the portfolio at fair value at September 30, 2015 was United States 93.2%,
Bermuda 3.8%, Canada 2.0% and the Cayman Islands 1.0%, and at December 31, 2014 was United States 93.3%, Bermuda 3.5%, Canada 2.0% and the Cayman Islands 1.2%. The geographic composition is determined by several factors including the location
of the corporate headquarters of the portfolio company.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the
market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Company may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose
securities are owned by the Company; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer
credit risk, the Company may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Company has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Company manages counterparty risk
by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the
Company to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of investments in portfolio

companies. The extent of the Companys exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in
the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company is also exposed to credit risk related to maintaining all of its cash at a major financial institution.

The Company has investments in lower rated and comparable quality unrated senior and junior secured, unsecured and subordinated debt securities
and loans, which are subject to a greater degree of credit risk than more highly rated investments. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for holders of such securities and loans, particularly in cases where the
investment is unsecured or subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

6. Derivatives

Foreign Currency

The Company may enter into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments
denominated in foreign currencies or to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Companys investments denominated in foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a
commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate
and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. The Companys forward foreign currency contracts generally have terms of approximately three months. The
volume of open contracts at the end of each reporting period is reflective of the typical volume of transactions during each calendar quarter. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts. The Company attempts to limit this risk by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Warrants and Options

The Company holds warrants and options in certain portfolio companies in an effort to achieve additional investment return. In purchasing
warrants and options, the Company bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying equity interest. The aggregate fair value of warrants and options as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represents 0.4% and
2.5%, respectively, of the Companys net assets.

The Company may enter into other derivative instruments and incur other exposures
with other counterparties in the future. The derivative instruments held as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 reflect the volume of derivative activity throughout the periods presented.

7. Debt

In accordance with the 1940
Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2015, the Companys asset
coverage was 308%.

On March 27, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the
Credit Facility) which has an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $405,000,000. The Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of March 27, 2019. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus
an applicable margin of 2.25%. The Credit Facilitys commitment may increase in size, under certain circumstances, up to a total of $750,000,000.

On March 27, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Term Loan)
which has a principal amount of $15,000,000. The Term Loan has a stated maturity date of March 27, 2019. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%.

On February 19, 2013, the Company closed a private offering of $100,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 5.50% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2018 (the Convertible Notes). The initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes fully exercised their overallotment option and purchased an additional $15,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The closing of the overallotment option took place on March 4, 2013. With the exercise of the overallotment option, a total of $115,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible
Notes was sold. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering, including the exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $111,300,000. The Convertible Notes were only offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The Convertible Notes
are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears. In certain circumstances and during certain periods, the Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BlackRock Capital Investment
Corporations common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Companys common stock, at the Companys election, at an initial conversion rate of 86.0585 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible
Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.62 per share of the Companys common stock, subject to defined anti-dilution adjustments. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior
to maturity. The Convertible Notes mature on February 15, 2018, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

On January 18, 2011, the Company closed a private placement issuance of $158,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of five-year, senior
secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and a maturity date of January 18, 2016 and $17,000,000 million in aggregate principal amount of seven-year, senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.60% and a maturity date of
January 18, 2018 (collectively, the Senior Secured Notes).

The Senior Secured Notes were sold to certain institutional
accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is due semi-annually on January 18 and July 18, commencing on July 18, 2011.

The Companys outstanding debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

remaining amount available under the Credit Facility was $327,750,000 at September 30, 2015, incorporating the standby letter of credit as described in Note 9 and $261,000,000 at
December 31, 2014.

The Companys average outstanding debt balance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015
was $350,957,227 and $416,169,914, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $345,808,859 and $414,616,028, respectively. The maximum amounts borrowed during the three and nine months ended

At September 30, 2015, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants required under the Credit Facility, the Senior Secured Notes and the Term Loan.

8. Capital stock

In 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to 2.5 percent of
its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. In 2009, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an
additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding shares of common stock. During April 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension and increase to the plan which authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 2.5 percent of its outstanding
shares of common stock, or an additional 1,869,399 shares.

During July 2015, the Board of Directors approved an extension to the plan and
an increase to the remaining amount of shares authorized to be repurchased to a total of 4,000,000 shares. The repurchase plan was extended until the earlier of June 30, 2016 or such time that all of the authorized shares have been repurchased.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company purchased a total of 691,423 and 210,248 shares, respectively, of its common stock on the open market for $6,113,290 and $1,779,619, respectively, including brokerage
commissions. Since inception of the repurchase plan through September 30, 2015, the Company has purchased 2,450,038 shares of its common stock on the open market for $18,397,275, including brokerage commissions. At September 30, 2015, the
total number of remaining shares authorized for repurchase was 3,308,577. The Company currently holds the shares it repurchased in treasury.

9.
Guarantees, commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of
portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into a
standby letter of credit on behalf of Red Apple Stores Inc. in the amount of $5,250,000. No amounts were drawn as of September 30, 2015. The standby letter of credit expires on December 31, 2015. There were no such guarantees outstanding
at December 31, 2014. In addition, from time to time, the Company may provide for a commitment to a portfolio company for investment in an existing or new security. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was obligated to
existing portfolio companies for unfunded commitments of zero and $16.0 million, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the
Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no prior claims or
payments pursuant to such

##### Table of Contents

agreements. The Companys individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet
occurred. However, based on managements experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

From time to time, the
Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business, including the enforcement of the Companys rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of
these legal proceedings with certainty, at this time it does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has been named as a defendant, together with 52nd Street Capital
Advisors LLC, the Companys former investment adviser, and certain other defendants, in two wrongful death and personal injury actions filed in West Virginia involving a fatal accident that occurred on December 9, 2010, at the facilities
of one of its portfolio companies. The Company and 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC filed motions to dismiss in both cases. On June 18, 2015, the court entered an order denying those motions, and the Company has subsequently sought relief
through a petition writ of prohibition in the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. That petition has not been ruled on. At this time it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome or the range of a potential loss, if any.

10. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC
820-10 defines fair value as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. ASC
820-10 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability,
including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances.

Level 1  Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2  Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in
markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3
 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation.

Transfers between levels, if any, represent the value as of the beginning of the period of any investment where a change in the pricing level
occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

The Companys valuation policy and fair value disclosures are consistent with
ASC 820-10. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading, in determining fair value and categorizes each investment within the fair value hierarchy pursuant to ASC 820-10.

Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify non-controlled investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio
companys outstanding voting securities as investments in affiliated companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio companys
outstanding voting securities as investments in controlled companies. Detailed information with respect to the Companys non-controlled non-affiliated, non-controlled

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the nine months ended September 30,
2015 on investments held at September 30, 2015 for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value was $5,690,895. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 on investments
held at September 30, 2014 for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value was $26,593,640.

The significant unobservable
inputs used in the market approach of fair value measurement of the Companys investments are the market multiples of earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the comparable guideline public companies.
The independent valuation firms select a population of public companies for each investment with similar operations and attributes of the subject company. Using these guideline public companies data, a range of multiples of enterprise value to
EBITDA is calculated. The independent valuation firms select percentages from the range of multiples for purposes of determining the subject companys estimated enterprise value based on said multiple and generally the latest twelve months
EBITDA of the subject company (or other meaningful measure). Significant increases or decreases in the multiple will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, resulting in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the
investment.

The significant unobservable input used in the income approach of fair value measurement of the Companys investments is
the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Significant increases or decreases in the discount
rate or market yield would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates or market yields are the following factors: risk of default, rating of the investment and
comparable company investments, and call provisions.

The ranges of significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of
the Companys Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2015 were as follows:

Overview

We were incorporated in Delaware on April 13, 2005 and were initially funded on July 25, 2005. Our investment objective is to
provide a combination of current income and capital appreciation. We intend to invest primarily in debt and equity securities of private and certain public U.S. middle-market companies.



46



---

##### Table of Contents

We are externally managed and have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As a BDC,
we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets, including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies,
cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

Certain items
previously reported may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Investments

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt
and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition
is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in eligible portfolio companies. Under the relevant SEC rules, the term eligible portfolio
company includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market
capitalization of less than $250 million. These rules also permit us to include as qualifying assets certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the
definition.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt we hold, dividends on our equity interests and capital gains on the sale of
warrants and other debt or equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to ten years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity, and
typically bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our debt instruments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or
dividends or pay interest or dividends in-kind. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of
prepayment fees, commitment, origination, capital structuring fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our
primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee and, depending on our operating results, an incentive management fee, expenses reimbursable under the management agreement, administration fees and the allocable portion of
overhead under the administration agreement. The base management fee and incentive management fee compensate the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our management agreement with the
Advisor provides that we will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to the Advisor under the management agreement, as well as any costs and expenses
incurred by the Advisor relating to any non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to us. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

Critical accounting policies

Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the



47

##### Table of Contents

reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause
actual results to differ.

Management considers the critical accounting policies important to understanding the consolidated financial
statements. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of significant
accounting policies and of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Portfolio and investment activity

We
invested $76.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The investments consisted of senior secured loans secured by first liens ($13.3 million, or 17.3%), or second liens ($47.4 million, or 61.6%), and unsecured or

At September 30, 2015, our portfolio of $1,149.8 million (at fair value) consisted of 43 portfolio companies and was invested 64% in
senior secured loans, 18% in unsecured or subordinated debt securities, 10% in equity investments, and 8% in senior secured notes. Our average investment by portfolio company at amortized cost, excluding investments below $5.0 million, was
approximately $33.5 million at September 30,

##### Table of Contents

2015. Our largest portfolio company investment by value was approximately $81.2 million and our five largest portfolio company investments by value comprised approximately 26% of our portfolio at
September 30, 2015. At December 31, 2014, our portfolio of $1,257.7 million (at fair value) consisted of 47 portfolio companies and was invested 53% in senior secured loans, 21% in equity investments, 18% in unsecured or subordinated debt
securities and 8% in senior secured notes. Our average investment by portfolio company at amortized cost, excluding investments below $5.0 million, was approximately $29.4 million at December 31, 2014. Our largest portfolio company investment
by value was approximately $71.0 million and our five largest portfolio company investments by value comprised approximately 25% of our portfolio at December 31, 2014.

The weighted average yield of the debt and income producing equity securities in our portfolio at fair value was 11.6% at September 30,
2015 and 11.7% at December 31, 2014. The weighted average yields on our senior secured loans and other debt securities at fair value were 11.1% and 13.4%, respectively, at September 30, 2015, versus 11.3% and 12.9%, respectively, at
December 31, 2014. The weighted average yield of the debt and income producing equity securities in our portfolio at their current cost basis was 11.5% at September 30, 2015 and 11.6% at December 31, 2014. The weighted average yields
on our senior secured loans and other debt securities at their current cost basis were 11.1% and 12.6%, respectively, at September 30, 2015, versus 11.2% and 12.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2014. Yields exclude common equity
investments, preferred equity investments with no stated dividend rate, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents.

The Advisor
employs a grading system for our entire portfolio. The Advisor grades all loans on a scale of 1 to 4. This system is intended to reflect the performance of the borrowers business, the collateral coverage of the loans and other factors
considered relevant. Generally, the Advisor assigns only one loan grade to each portfolio company for all loan investments in that portfolio company; however, the Advisor will assign multiple ratings when appropriate for different investments in one
portfolio company. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

Grade 1: Investments
in portfolio companies whose performance is substantially within the Advisors expectations and whose risk factors are neutral to favorable to those at the time of the original investment.

Grade 2: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is below the Advisors expectations and that require closer
monitoring; however, no loss of investment return (interest and/or dividends) or principal is expected.

Grade 3: Investments in
portfolio companies whose performance is below the Advisors expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination. Some loss of investment return is expected, but no loss of principal is expected. Companies graded 3
generally will be out of compliance with debt covenants and will be unlikely to make debt repayments on their original schedule.

Grade
4: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Advisors expectations where business trends have deteriorated and risk factors have increased substantially since the original investment. Investments graded 4
are those for which some loss of principal is expected.

The Advisor monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each
investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, the Advisor and Board of Directors review these investment ratings on a quarterly basis. Our average investment rating was 1.24 at September 30, 2015 and 1.27 at
December 31, 2014. The following is a distribution of the investment ratings of our portfolio companies at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Results of operations

Results comparisons for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Investment income

Investment income totaled $33,940,028 and $33,162,668, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, of which
$21,872,366 and $22,165,859 were attributable to interest and fees on senior secured loans, $10,428,908 and $10,378,038 to interest and fees earned on other debt securities, $1,636,465 and, $617,193 to dividends from equity securities and $2,289 and
$1,578 to interest earned on cash equivalents, respectively. The increase in investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to a decrease in fee income, more than offset by an increase in interest and
dividends.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, fee income was primarily comprised of $1,199,489 in capital structuring
fees. Interest income is comprised of approximately 94% of cash interest and 6% of PIK interest.

Expenses

Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $10,144,878 and $13,830,210, respectively, which consisted of
$5,784,734 and $5,621,443 in base management fees, $5,281,984 and $5,283,546 in interest and credit facility fees, $585,752 and $450,052 in professional fees, $587,623 and $683,804 in investment advisor and administrative services expenses, $524,765
and $524,766 in amortization of debt issuance costs, $187,000 and $194,500 in director fees, $(4,224,731) and $593,837 of incentive management fees, and $1,417,751 and $478,262 in other expenses, respectively. The current period other expenses also
consist of a one-time blocker tax expense in the amount of $409,113. The decrease in total expenses during the current period is largely a result of a reversal in incentive management fees based on capital gains during the period.

Net investment income

Net investment income was $23,795,150 and $19,332,458 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase
is primarily attributable to a decrease in expenses related to the reversal in incentive fees based on gains during the current period.

Net realized gain or loss

Net realized gain for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,585,808 and $450,229, respectively. During the current
period, the net realized gain is comprised of additional escrow proceeds from the exit of our Dial Global, Inc. preferred equity interest in 2013.

Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and
foreign currency translation was an increase in net unrealized depreciation of $4,653,130 and an increase in net unrealized appreciation of $9,186,835, respectively. The current period decrease was primarily driven by a decline in the valuation of
certain of our portfolio companies, resulting in a net portfolio decline of $4,171,854, as well as an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $481,276. The increase in net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended September 30,
2014 is comprised primarily of net unrealized appreciation on investments of $9,563,993.

Net increase in net assets resulting from
operations

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
was an increase of $21,727,828 and $28,969,522, respectively. As compared to the prior period, the decrease primarily reflects a net realized and unrealized loss of $2,067,322 for the current period, versus a $9,637,064 net realized and unrealized
gain for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Results comparisons for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Investment income

Investment income totaled $97,627,101 and $96,491,305, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, of which
$60,910,824 and $54,432,756 were attributable to interest and fees on senior secured loans, $32,603,784 and $40,307,362 to interest and fees earned on other debt securities, $4,106,044 and $1,747,029 to dividends from equity securities, and $6,449
and $4,158 to interest earned on cash equivalents, respectively. The increase in investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to a decrease in fee income during the current period, more than offset by
an increase in interest income. Interest income is comprised of approximately 96% of cash interest and 4% of PIK interest.

Expenses

Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $40,970,467 and $49,633,327, respectively, which
consisted of $18,691,632 and $17,892,011 in base management fees, $16,828,363 and $16,899,287 in interest and credit facility fees, $2,108,987 and $2,080,205 in investment advisor and administrative services expenses, $(3,189,459) and $7,022,626 in
incentive management fees, $1,725,404 and $1,550,416 in professional fees, $1,557,184 and $1,588,436 in amortization of debt issuance costs, $523,500 and $531,000 in director fees, and $2,724,856 and $2,069,346 in other expenses, respectively. The
current period other expenses also consist of a one-time blocker tax expense in the amount of $409,113. The decrease in total expenses during the current period is largely a result of a reversal in incentive management fees based on gains during the
period.

Net investment income

Net investment income was $56,656,634 and $46,857,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase
is primarily attributable to a decrease in expenses related to the reversal in incentive fees based on gains during the current period.

Net realized gain or loss

Net realized gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $129,244,763 and $83,274,200, respectively. Net realized
gains during the current period were primarily generated from the sale of our equity investments in M&M Tradition Holdings Corp., Marquette Transportation Company Holdings, LLC, Penton Business Media Holdings, LLC, Oportun Financial Corporation
and USI Senior Holdings, Inc., partially

##### Table of Contents

offset by realized losses on the restructurings of Red Apple Stores Inc. and WBS Group LLC. Nearly the entire realized gain was reflected in unrealized appreciation in prior periods. Net realized
gain of $83,274,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was largely attributable to gains relating to the sales of Arclin Cayman Holdings Ltd. and Electrical Components International. Nearly the entire realized gain was reflected in
unrealized appreciation in prior periods.

Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation was a decrease in net unrealized
appreciation of $126,779,949 primarily resulting from reversals due to the recognition of realized gains associated with the sale of certain equity positions during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the decrease in net
unrealized appreciation of $47,379,087 was largely attributable to reversals due to the recognition of realized gains associated with the sales of Arclin Cayman Holdings Ltd. and Electrical Components International.

Net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was an increase of
$59,121,448 and $82,753,091, respectively. As compared to the prior period, the decrease primarily reflects a net realized and unrealized gain of $2,464,814 for the current period, versus a $35,895,113 net realized and unrealized gain for the nine
months ended September 30, 2014.

Supplemental Non-GAAP information

We report our financial results on a GAAP basis; however, management believes that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be enhanced if
investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and
investors, of our financial performance over time. Management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We record our liability for Incentive Fees based on income as we become legally obligated to pay them, based on a hypothetical liquidation at
the end of each reporting period. Our obligation to pay Incentive Fees with respect to any fiscal quarter is based on a formula that reflects our results over a trailing four-fiscal quarter period ending with the current fiscal quarter. We are
legally obligated to pay the amount resulting from the formula less any cash payments of Incentive Fees during the prior three quarters. The formulas requirement to reduce the Incentive Fees by amounts paid with respect to Incentive Fees in
the prior three quarters has caused our Incentive Fees expense to become generally concentrated in the fourth quarter of each year. Management believes that reflecting Incentive Fees throughout the year, as the related investment income is earned on
a quarterly basis, is an effective measure of our profitability and financial performance that facilitates comparison of current results with historical results and with those of our peers. Our as adjusted results reflect Incentive Fees
based on the formula we utilize for each trailing four-fiscal quarter period, with the formula applied to the current quarters incremental earnings and without any reduction for Incentive Fees paid during the prior three quarters. The
resulting amount represents an upper limit of each quarters incremental Incentive Fees that we may become legally obligated to pay at the end of the year. Prior year amounts are estimated in the same manner. These estimates represent upper
limits because, in any calendar year, subsequent quarters investment underperformance could reduce the Incentive Fees payable with respect to prior quarters operating results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and
other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for a more detailed description of the
Companys incentive management fee.

Pre-Incentive Fee1:Amounts are adjusted to remove all incentive
management fees. Such fees are calculated but not necessarily due and payable at this time.

As
Adjusted2: Amounts are adjusted to remove the incentive management fee expense based on gains, as required by GAAP, and to include only the incremental incentive management fee expense based
on income. The incremental incentive management fee is calculated based on the current quarters incremental earnings, and without any reduction for incentive management fees paid during the prior calendar quarters. Amounts reflect the
Companys ongoing operating results and reflect the Companys financial performance over time.

Financial condition, liquidity and capital
resources

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the
Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. On March 24, 2015 the Company entered into a standby letter of credit on behalf of Red Apple Stores
Inc. in the amount of $5,250,000. No amounts were drawn at September 30, 2015. There were no such guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2014. In addition, from time to time, the Company may provide for a commitment to a portfolio company
for investment in an existing or new security. At September 30, 2015, the Company had no obligations to existing portfolio companies for unfunded commitments.

Distributions

Our quarterly
distributions, if any, are determined by our Board of Directors. Distributions are declared considering our estimate of annual taxable income available for distribution to stockholders and the amount of taxable income carried over from the prior
year for distribution in the current year. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at all or distributions at a particular level. The following table lists the quarterly distributions per share from our common stock
since September 2013.

Tax characteristics of all distributions are reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year.

##### Table of Contents

We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain
favorable RIC tax treatment, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally
available for distribution. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Company after December 31, 2010 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to
the losses incurred in the years preceding enactment. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of:



| |  |  | 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31st; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We maintain an opt out dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, except as discussed below, if we
declare a distribution, stockholders cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash
distributions. With respect to our distributions paid to stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, distributions reinvested pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan totaled $2,749,683 and $3,217,895, respectively.

Under the terms of an amendment to our dividend reinvestment plan adopted on March 4, 2009, distributions may be paid in newly issued
or treasury shares of our common stock at a price equal to 95% of the market price on the payment date. This feature of the plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per
share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. Also,
we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our existing and future debt arrangements.

If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of
favorable RIC tax treatment. In addition, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as payment-in-kind interest, which
represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we
may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC and may be subject to an excise tax. In order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable
to RICs, we have the ability to declare a large portion of a dividend in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. As long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash (which portion can be as low as 10% for our taxable years ending prior to
2012) and certain requirements are met, the entire distribution would be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Recent
developments

On November 4, 2015, the Companys Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.21 per share, payable on
January 7, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 24, 2015.

Notice is hereby given in accordance
with Section 23(c) of the 1940 Act that from time to time the Company may purchase shares of its common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2015, 70% of our debt investments bore
interest based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. The interest rates on such investments generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months. At September 30, 2015, of those
floating rate debt investments, 92% contained an interest rate floor. Floating rate investments subject to a floor generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months only if the index exceeds the floor.

While hedging activities may help to insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they also may limit our ability to participate in
the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not engage in any interest rate hedging activity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed
by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter 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 and the Advisor may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including
the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, at this time we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements. We have been named as a defendant, together with 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC, our former investment adviser, and certain other defendants, in two wrongful death and personal injury actions filed in West
Virginia involving a fatal accident that occurred on December 9, 2010, at the facilities of one of our portfolio companies. The cases, which have been consolidated, involve three deaths and personal injuries to other employees. We and 52nd
Street Capital Advisors LLC filed motions to dismiss in both cases. On June 18, 2015, the court entered an order denying those motions, and we have subsequently sought relief through a petition writ of prohibition in the Supreme Court of
Appeals of West Virginia. That petition has not been ruled on. On August 19, 2015, the Court entered a separate order releasing certain insurance proceeds to the estates of the deceased workers. At this time it is not possible to predict
with a reasonable degree of certainty the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the range of a potential loss, if any.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K filing.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Sales of unregistered securities

None.
