rate (commonly the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrowers option. In addition, approximately 67% of such senior secured loans have floors of 1.00% to 1.75%. 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, 2013 of all contracts
within the specified loan facility.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP).

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, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on March 7, 2013.

2. Significant accounting policies

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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the
fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included.

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 subsidiaries, to the extent they occur, are eliminated in consolidation.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

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 repayment or 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 Kelso Capital 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

(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.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10),
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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, the Company must distribute annually at least 98% of its 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



23

##### Table of Contents

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.

Dividends 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 dividends and 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 Company may pay distributions in excess of its taxable net investment income. This information would be disclosed in the Companys
annual Form 10-K as part of the required RIC tax disclosures. This excess would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the shareholders tax basis in its shares. The cumulative amounts disclosed on the Consolidated Statements
of Assets and Liabilities as distributions in excess of taxable net investment income are $37,031,405 and $22,291,022 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Dividends to Common Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend 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 dividend, 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 dividends.

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.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies.

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 December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on an entitys financial
position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare
their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross
and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial position; and to disclose instruments and transactions subject to a master netting or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 was effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Companys disclosures, which has been reflected in the notes to these consolidated
financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures
about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01). This update clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815. This update was effective for the Company for the
year ending December 31, 2013, and did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

3. Agreements and
related party transactions

Base Management Fee

The Company has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the Management Agreement) with the Advisor, under which the
Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the Companys Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, the Advisor receives a base
management fee (the Management Fee) from the Company quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 2.0% of the Companys total assets, including any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage.

##### Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Advisor earned $5,286,986 and
$15,826,168, respectively, in Management Fees under the Management Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Advisor earned $5,964,904 and $16,877,541, respectively, in Management Fees under the Management
Agreement.

Incentive Management Fee

The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to an incentive management fee (the Incentive
Fee) under certain circumstances. 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 Company 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 the Companys net asset value and does not take into account changes in the market price of the Companys common
stock.

The Advisor will be entitled to receive the Incentive Fee if the Companys performance exceeds a hurdle rate
during different measurement periods: trailing four quarters periods (which applies only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income) and annual periods (which applies only to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains).
The trailing four quarters periods for purposes of determining the income portion of the Incentive Fee payable for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was determined by reference to the four quarter periods
ended on September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 the Companys 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 the Companys income and a portion is based on capital gains. Each
portion of the Incentive Fee is described below.

Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income. For each trailing four
quarters period, the Company pays 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 during the period exceeds (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.

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 remaining excess income amount.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Advisor earned zero and $1,917,968 respectively. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2012, the Advisor earned zero and $2,213,859, respectively, in Incentive Fees based on Income from the Company.

Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains. The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated and paid on an
annual basis beginning on July 1, 2007, the first day of the calendar quarter in which the Public Market Event occurred and each annual period thereafter, ending on June 30 of the next calendar year. For each annual period, the Company
pays the Advisor an Incentive Fee based on the amount by which (A) net realized capital gains, if any, to the extent they exceed gross unrealized capital depreciation, if any, occurring during the period exceeds (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.

##### Table of Contents

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 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 remaining excess gain amount. 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, the Company accounts for
its 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 an
additional 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 Investment Advisers Act of 1940
or the Management Agreement. Amounts actually paid will be consistent with the Advisers Act which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.

The capital gains fee due to the Advisor as calculated under the Management Agreement as described above, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012 were zero. In accordance with GAAP the hypothetical incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, resulted in a capital gains incentive fee of $9,358,529 and $14,774,276, respectively,
and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulted in a capital gains incentive fee of $2,963,803. The total cumulative accrued balance at September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $20,269,011 and $2,963,803, respectively.

Advisor Reimbursements

The Management Agreement provides that the Company 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 the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $479,871 and $1,520,714, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $511,774 and
$1,364,420, 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, 2013 were $749,072 and $2,391,977 respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $832,640 and $2,295,143, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

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 such services. 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 staff. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $123,801 and $456,516, respectively, for administrative services expenses payable to the Administrator under the administration agreement. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $112,976 and $261,160, respectively, in such expenses.

Advisor Stock Transactions

In 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the purchase by the Advisor from time to time in the open market of an
indeterminate number of shares of the Companys common stock, in the Advisors discretion, subject to compliance with the Companys and the Advisors applicable policies and requirements of law. There were no such purchases
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

In March 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized
the purchase in a private placement of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, in the Advisors discretion, subject to compliance with the Companys and the Advisors applicable policies and requirements of law.
There were no private placement purchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

At September 30,
2013 and December 31, 2012, the Advisor owned and had the right to vote approximately 49,000 and 94,000 shares, respectively, of the Companys common stock, representing less than 1.0% of the total shares outstanding. On such dates, under
compensation arrangements for its officers and employees the Advisor owned of record but did not have the right to vote an additional 125,000 and 261,000 shares, respectively, of the Companys common stock. At September 30, 2013 and
December 31, 2012, other entities affiliated with the Administrator beneficially owned approximately 5,015,000 and 6,019,000 shares, respectively, of the Companys common stock, representing approximately 6.8% and 8.2% of the total shares
outstanding. An entity affiliated with the Administrator has ownership and financial interests in the Advisor.

##### Table of Contents

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, 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, 2013.

At December 31, 2012, details of open forward foreign currency contracts were as follows:

Warrants

The Company holds warrants and options in certain portfolio companies in an effort to achieve additional investment return. In holding such
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 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represented 3.6% and
2.4%, 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 at December 31, 2012 reflected the volume of derivative activity throughout the periods presented.

7. Debt

In accordance with the
Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of September 30,
2013, the Companys asset coverage was 267%.

On June 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Credit
Agreement (Term Loan) which has a principal amount of $10,000,000. The Term Loan has a stated maturity date of May 31, 2018. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of
3.75%.

On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (Credit
Facility) which has an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000,000 and canceled the prior credit facility and the related term loan that were outstanding at December 31, 2012. The Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of
March 13, 2017. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. The Credit Facilitys commitment may increase in size, under certain circumstances, up to a total of $750,000,000.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had $114,000,000 drawn on the Credit Facility versus $171,850,000 at December 31, 2012.
Subject to compliance with applicable covenants and borrowing base limitations, the remaining amount available under the Credit Facility was $236,000,000 at September 30, 2013.

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 has been 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 the Company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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

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. In May 2013, the repurchase plan was further extended through the earlier of June 30, 2014 or until the approved number of shares has been repurchased. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company purchased zero shares of its common stock on the open market. Since inception of the repurchase plan through September 30, 2013, the Company has purchased 1,425,507 shares of its common
stock on the open market for $9,476,676, including brokerage commissions. At September 30, 2013, the total number of remaining shares authorized for repurchase was 1,331,143. The Company currently holds the shares it repurchased in treasury.

9. Guarantees and commitments

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. The Company has no such guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2013 and 2012.

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 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, it does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

10. Fair value of
financial instruments

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 carrying values of the Companys financial instruments approximate fair
value. The carrying values of receivables, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Companys Credit Facility, Convertible Notes, Senior Secured Notes and
Term Loan is derived by taking the average of the high and low quotes as obtained from a broker. The fair value of the Credit Facility, Convertible Notes, Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan would be classified as Level 2 with respect to the fair
value hierarchy.

The carrying and fair values of the Companys Credit Facility payable were $114,000,000 and $111,720,000 at
September 30, 2013 and $171,850,000 and $168,413,000 at December 31, 2012, respectively. The carrying and fair values of the Term Loan were $10,000,000 and $9,950,000 at September 30, 2013. The carrying and fair values of the

There were no transfers between Levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
All realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings (changes in net assets) and are reported as separate line items within the Companys consolidated statements of operations.

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 the data from these public companies, 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 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 would result
in a decrease or increase in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates are the following factors: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable company investments, and call provisions.

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.

##### 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.

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 or due diligence 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, interest and credit facility fees, 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 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. 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.

At September 30, 2013, 47.5% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the
Prime Rate, and 52.5% bore interest at fixed rates. The percentage of our total debt investments that bore floating rate interest based on an interest rate floor was 47.0% at September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, 45.1% of our debt
investments bore interest based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, and 54.9% bore interest at fixed rates. The percentage of our total debt investments that bore floating rate interest subject to an interest
rate floor was 40.2% at December 31, 2012.

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 1.11 at September 30, 2013 and 1.20 at
December 31, 2012. The following is a distribution of the investment ratings of our portfolio companies at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

2013.

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 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 the incremental incentive management fee expense based
on Income. The incremental incentive management fee is based on each trailing four-fiscal quarter period, applied to the current quarters incremental earnings, and without any reduction for incentive management fees paid during the prior
three quarters. Amounts reflect the Companys ongoing operating results and reflect the Companys financial performance over time.

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

On June 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement
(Term Loan) which has a principal amount of $10,000,000. The Term Loan has a stated maturity date of May 31, 2018. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75%.

On March 13, 2013 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (Credit Facility)
which has an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000,000 and canceled the prior credit facility and the related term loan that were outstanding at December 31, 2012. The Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of March 13,
2017. The interest rate applicable to borrowings thereunder is generally LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. The Credit Facilitys commitment may increase in size, under certain circumstances, up to a total of $750,000,000.

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 has been 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 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 the Company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.

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. The Company has no such guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2013.

Dividends

Our quarterly dividends, if
any, are determined by our Board of Directors. Dividends 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 dividends and distributions or at a particular level. The following table lists the quarterly dividend per share from our common stock since September 2011.

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

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 dividend, stockholders cash dividends 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 dividends. With
respect to our dividends and distributions paid to stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, dividends reinvested pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan totaled $3,864,460 and $4,291,772, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Under the terms of an amendment to our dividend reinvestment plan adopted on March 4, 2009,
dividends 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 dividend 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 dividends and distributions at a specific level or to
increase the amount of these dividends and distributions from time to time. Also, we may be limited in our ability to make dividends and 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.

With respect to dividends paid to stockholders, certain income we receive from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront
fees associated with investments in portfolio companies may cause our taxable income to exceed our GAAP income although the differences are expected to be temporary in nature.

Recent developments

On November 5,
2013, the Companys Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.26 per share, payable on January 3, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2013.

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, 2013, 47.5% 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, 2013, the percentage of our total debt investments that bore floating rate interest based on an interest rate floor was 47.0%. 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, 2013 and 2012, we did not engage in any interest
rate hedging activity.

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.
