 The Companys investment objective is to maximize its portfolios total return, principally by seeking capital gains on its equity and equity-related investments. The Company invests principally in the equity securities of what it believes to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies. The Company may acquire its investments in these portfolio companies through: offerings of the prospective portfolio companies, transactions on secondary marketplaces for private companies, or negotiations with selling stockholders. The Company may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly traded equity
securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria, subject to any applicable limitations under the 1940 Act.
 17    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Company is an investment company following the specialized accounting and reporting guidance specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial
Services  Investment Companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2017. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Basis of Consolidation Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services and benefits to the Company, and certain entities established for tax purposes where the Company holds a 100% interest. Accordingly, the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of the GSVC Holdings and GCL, its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Companys management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in the near term. The Companys estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could
differ materially from such estimates. Uncertainties and Risk Factors The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties in the nature of its operations, as well as vulnerability due to certain concentrations. Refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the nature of the Companys operations. Refer to Note
3  Investments at Fair Value for an overview of the Companys geographic and industry concentrations.
 18    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) Investments at Fair Value The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP and the AICPAs Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair
value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1  Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2  Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3  Valuations based on unobservable inputs that reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. The majority of the Companys investments are Level 3 investments and are subject to a high degree of judgment and uncertainty in determining fair value. When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table set forth in Note 3  Investments at Fair Value may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable
inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. Refer to Levelling Policy below for a detailed discussion of the levelling of the Companys financial assets or liabilities and events that may cause a reclassification within the fair value hierarchy. Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the most recently available closing price of such security as of the valuation date, unless there are legal or contractual restrictions on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35 should be incorporated into the securitys fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services, brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the
Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.
 19    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology, or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of GSV Asset Management, our board of directors or the valuation committee of the Companys board of directors (the Valuation Committee), does not reliably represent fair value, shall each be valued as follows: 1.

          The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GSV Asset Management responsible for the portfolio investment; 2.

          Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with GSV Asset Management senior management; 3.

          An independent third-party valuation firm is engaged by the Valuation Committee to conduct independent appraisals and review GSV Asset Managements preliminary valuations and make its own independent assessment, for all investments for which there are no readily available market quotations; 4.

          The Valuation Committee discusses the valuations and recommends to the Companys board of directors a fair value for each investment in the portfolio based on the input of GSV Asset Management and the independent third-party valuation firm; and 5.

          The Companys board of directors then discusses the valuations recommended by the Valuation Committee and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In making a good faith determination of the fair value of investments, the Company considers valuation methodologies consistent with industry practice. Valuation methods utilized include, but are not limited to the following: comparisons to prices from secondary market transactions; venture capital financings; public offerings; purchase or sales transactions; as well as analysis of financial ratios and valuation metrics of the portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public, analysis of the portfolio companies most recent financial statements and forecasts, and the markets
in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. The Company assigns a weighting based upon the relevance of each method to determine the fair value of each investment. For investments that are not publicly traded or that do not have readily available market quotations, the Valuation Committee generally engages at least one independent valuation firm to provide an independent valuation, which the Companys board of directors considers, among other factors, in making its fair value determinations for these investments. For the current and prior fiscal year, the Valuation Committee engaged an independent valuation firm to perform valuations of 100% of the Companys investments for which there were no readily available market quotations. Equity Investments Equity investments for which market quotations are readily available in an active market are generally valued at the most recently available closing market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. Equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject to sales restrictions due to an initial public offering (IPO) by the portfolio company will be classified as Level 1. Any other equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject to sales restrictions that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security may be valued at a discount for a lack of
marketability (DLOM), to the most recently available closing market prices depending upon the nature of the sales restriction. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 assets. The DLOM used is generally based upon the market value of publicly traded put options with similar terms.
 20    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) The fair values of the Companys equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available are determined based on various factors and are classified as Level 3 assets. To determine the fair value of a portfolio company for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company may analyze the relevant portfolio companys most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables, and other factors. The Company may also consider other events, including the transaction in which the Company acquired its securities, subsequent equity sales by the portfolio
company, and mergers or acquisitions affecting the portfolio company. In addition, the Company may consider the trends of the portfolio companys basic financial metrics from the time of its original investment until the measurement date, with material improvement of these metrics indicating a possible increase in fair value, while material deterioration of these metrics may indicate a possible reduction in fair value. In determining the value of equity or equity-linked securities (including warrants to purchase common or preferred stock) in a portfolio company, the Company considers the rights, preferences and limitations of such securities. In cases where a portfolio companys capital structure includes multiple classes of preferred and common stock and equity-linked securities with different rights and preferences, the Company generally uses an option pricing model to allocate value to each equity-linked security, unless it believes a liquidity event such as an acquisition or a dissolution is imminent, or the portfolio company is
unlikely to continue as a going concern. When equity-linked securities expire worthless, any cost associated with these positions is recognized as a realized loss on investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In the event these securities are exercised into common or preferred stock, the cost associated with these securities is reassigned to the cost basis of the new common or preferred stock. These conversions are noted as non-cash operating items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Debt Investments Given the nature of the Companys current debt investments (excluding U.S. Treasuries), principally convertible and promissory notes issued by venture-capital-backed portfolio companies, these investments are classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known or accessible market or market indexes for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Companys debt investments are valued at estimated fair value as determined by the Companys board of directors. Warrants The Companys board of directors will ascribe value to warrants based on fair value analyses that can include discounted cash flow analyses, option pricing models, comparable analyses and other techniques as deemed appropriate. These investments are classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known or accessible market or market indexes for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Companys warrants are valued at estimated fair value as determined by the Companys board of directors. Levelling Policy The portfolio companies in which the Company invests may offer their shares in IPOs. The Companys shares in such portfolio companies are typically subject to lock-up agreements for 180 days following the IPO. Upon the IPO date, the Company transfers its investment from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the presence of an active market, limited by the lock-up agreement. The Company prices the investment at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date. In situations where there are lock-up restrictions, as well as legal or contractual restrictions on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35
should be incorporated into the securitys fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security, the Company will classify the investment as Level 2 subject to an appropriate DLOM to reflect the restrictions upon sale. The Company transfers investments between
 21    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) levels based on the fair value at the beginning of the measurement period in accordance with FASB ASC 820. For investments transferred out of Level 3 due to an IPO, the Company transfers these investments based on their fair value at the IPO date. Valuation of Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Companys other, non-investment financial instruments, consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the transaction for the purchase or sale of the securities is entered into by the Company (i.e., trade date). Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale, and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. Portfolio Company Investment Classification GSV Capital is a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. GSV Capital classifies its investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual directly or indirectly owns beneficially more than 25% of the voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist when a company or individual directly or
indirectly owns, controls or holds the power to vote 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio company. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, for details regarding the nature and composition of the Companys investment portfolio. Cash The Company places its cash with U.S. Bank, N.A., Bridge Bank (a subsidiary of Western Alliance Bank), and Silicon Valley Bank, and at times, cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company believes that U.S. Bank, N.A., Western Alliance Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank are high-quality financial institutions and that the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balance is remote. Deferred Financing Costs The Company records origination costs related to lines of credit as deferred financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the respective life of the line of credit. For modifications to a line of credit, any unamortized origination costs are expensed. Included within deferred financing costs are offering costs incurred relating to the Companys shelf registration statement on Form N-2. The Company defers these offering costs until capital is raised pursuant to the shelf registration statement or the shelf registration statement has expired. For
equity capital raised, the offering costs reduce paid-in capital resulting from the offering. For debt capital raised, the associated offering costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred financing costs of $446,018 and $311,268, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of investments using the specific identification method. The Company recognizes interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. The Company recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date.

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) Investment Transaction Costs and Escrow Deposits Commissions and other costs associated with an investment transaction, including legal expenses not reimbursed by the portfolio company, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales. The Company makes certain acquisitions on secondary markets, which may involve making deposits to escrow accounts until certain conditions are met, including the underlying private companys right of first refusal. If the underlying private company does not exercise or assign its right of first refusal and all other conditions are met, then the funds in the escrow account are delivered to the seller and
the account is closed. Such transactions would be reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as escrow deposits. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no escrow deposits. Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Investments Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment. U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes The Company elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (a RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014, has qualified to be treated as a RIC for subsequent taxable years, and intends to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of investment company taxable income (ICTI) including payment-in-kind interest income, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of its gross tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year and meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements on a quarterly basis. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax
year, the Company may choose to carry forward into the next tax year ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions. Any such carryforward ICTI must be distributed on or before December 31 of the subsequent tax year to which it was carried forward. If the Company does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year a sum of (1) 98% of its net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years (the Minimum Distribution Amount), it will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which the Minimum Distribution Amount exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable
income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company will accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income. So long as the Company qualifies and maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the RIC will represent obligations of the Companys investors and will not be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. Included in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements, the GSVC Holdings are taxable subsidiaries, regardless of whether the Company is a
RIC. These taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax
 23    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) expenses as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. Such income tax expenses and deferred taxes, if any, will be reflected in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. If it is not treated as a RIC, the Company will be taxed as a regular corporation (a C corporation) under subchapter C of the Code for such taxable year. If the Company has previously qualified as a RIC but is subsequently unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, and certain amelioration provisions are not applicable, the Company would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income (including its net capital gains) at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would it be required to make distributions. Distributions, including distributions of net long-term
capital gain, would generally be taxable to its stockholders as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate stockholders would be eligible to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to such dividend; non-corporate stockholders would generally be able to treat such dividends as qualified dividend income, which is subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income tax. Distributions in excess of the Companys current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholders tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. In order to requalify as a RIC, in addition to the other requirements discussed above, the Company would be required to distribute all of its previously undistributed earnings attributable to the period it failed to qualify as a RIC by
the end of the first year that it intends to requalify as a RIC. If the Company fails to requalify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, it may be subject to regular corporate tax on any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Company had been liquidated) that it elects to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five years. The Company was taxed a C corporation for its 2012 and 2013 taxable years. Refer to Note 8  Income Taxes for further details regarding the Companys tax status. Per Share Information Basic net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per common share is computed by dividing net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the period adjusted to include the pre-tax effects of interest incurred on potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The Company used the if-converted
method in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share(ASC 260) to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Refer to Note 5  Net Increase/(Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations per Common Share  Basic and Diluted for further detail. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards On October 13, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) amended Regulation S-X Article 6 and Article 12 to, among other things, standardize the reporting of certain derivative investments in the financial statements of business development companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the required disclosure for other investments and investments in and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of a business development companys financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods ending on or
after August 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, Financial Instruments  Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial
 24    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (continued) Liabilities, which, among other things, requires (i) that all equity investments, other than equity-method investments, in unconsolidated entities generally be measured at fair value through earnings, and (ii) an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, ASU 2016-01 changes the disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU
2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, and the interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. We do not believe that ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. NOTE 2  RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS Investment Advisory Agreement The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with GSV Asset Management (the Advisory Agreement). Under the terms of the agreement, GSV Asset Management is paid a quarterly management fee and an annual incentive fee. GSV Asset Management is controlled by Michael Moe, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Companys board of directors. Mr. Moe, through his ownership interest in GSV Asset Management, is entitled to a portion of any profits earned by GSV Asset Management in performing its services under the Advisory Agreement. Mr. Moe, William Tanona, the Companys Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary, and Mark W. Flynn, the Companys President, as principals of GSV Asset Management, collectively manage the business and internal affairs of GSV Asset Management. Mark Klein, a member of the Companys board of directors, or entities with which he is affiliated, receives fees from GSV Asset Management equal to a percentage of each of the base management fee and the incentive fee paid by the Company to GSV Asset Management pursuant to a consulting agreement with GSV Asset Management. Under the Advisory Agreement, there are no restrictions on the right of any manager, partner, officer or employee of GSV Asset Management to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to receive any fees or compensation in connection therewith (including fees for serving as a director of, or providing consulting services to, one or more of the Companys portfolio companies). GSV Asset Management has, however, adopted an internal policy whereby any fees or compensation received by a manager, partner, officer or
employee of GSV Asset Management in exchange for serving as a director of, or providing consulting services to, any of the Companys portfolio companies will be transferred to the Company, net of any personal taxes incurred, upon such receipt for the benefit of the Company and its stockholders. Management Fees Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, GSV Asset Management is paid a base management fee of 2% of gross assets, which is the Companys total assets reflected on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities (with no deduction for liabilities) reduced by any non-portfolio investments. Effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, however, pursuant to a voluntary waiver by GSV Asset Management, the Company will pay GSV Asset Management a base management fee of 1.75%, a 0.25% reduction from the 2.0% base management fee payable under the Advisory Agreement. This waiver of a portion of the base
management fee is not subject to recourse against or reimbursement by the Company. GSV Asset Management earned $1,359,180 and $2,813,600 in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. GSV Asset Management earned $1,740,223 and $3,698,223 in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. GSV Asset Management waived $169,898 and $351,700 in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. GSV Asset Management did not waive management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
 25    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 2  RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS   (continued) Incentive Fees Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, GSV Asset Management is paid an annual incentive fee equal to the lesser of (i) 20% of the Companys realized capital gains during each calendar year, if any, calculated on an investment-by-investment basis, subject to a non-compounded preferred return, or hurdle, and a catch-up feature, and (ii) 20% of the Companys realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount
of any previously paid incentive fees. For GAAP purposes, in accordance with the AICPAs Technical Practice Aids (TPA) (TIS 6910.2), the Company is required to accrue incentive fees for all periods as if the Company had fully liquidated its entire investment portfolio at the fair value stated on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This accrual considers both the hypothetical liquidation of the Companys portfolio described previously, as well as the Companys actual cumulative realized gains and losses since inception, as well any previously paid incentive fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company accrued incentive fees of $2,430,825 and $4,148,133, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reversed previously accrued incentive fees of $2,907,224 and $8,025,808, respectively. Due to/from GSV Asset Management As of June 30, 2017, there were no receivables owed to the Company by GSV Asset Management. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, the Company owed GSV Asset Management $347,807 primarily for the reimbursement of overhead allocation expenses, as well as travel expenses and, to a lesser extent, for the reimbursement of other expenses. As of December 31, 2016, there were no receivables owed to the Company by GSV Asset Management. In addition, as of December 31, 2016, the Company owed GSV Asset Management $422,025 primarily for the reimbursement of overhead allocation expenses. Administration Agreement The Company has entered into an administration agreement with GSV Capital Service Company (the Administration Agreement) to provide administrative services, including furnishing the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, record keeping services, and other administrative services. GSV Asset Management controls GSV Capital Service Company. The Company reimburses GSV Capital Service Company an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including a portion of the rent and the compensation of the Companys President,
Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and other staff providing administrative services. While there is no limit on the total amount of expenses the Company may be required to reimburse to GSV Capital Service Company, GSV Capital Service Company will only charge the Company for the actual expenses GSV Capital Service Company incurs on the Companys behalf, or the Companys allocable portion thereof, without any profit to GSV Capital Service Company. There were $449,110 and $980,594 in such costs incurred under the Administration Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. There were $698,692 and $1,298,642 in such costs incurred under the Administration Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. License Agreement The Company entered into a license agreement with GSV Asset Management pursuant to which GSV Asset Management has agreed to grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the
 26    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 2  RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS   (continued) name GSV. Under this agreement, the Company has the right to use the GSV name for so long as the Advisory Agreement with GSV Asset Management is in effect. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company has no legal right to the GSV name. Other Arrangements Mark Moe, who is the brother of Michael Moe, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Companys board of directors, serves as Vice President of Business Development, Global Expansion for NestGSV, Inc. (d/b/a GSV Labs, Inc.), one of the Companys portfolio companies. Diane Flynn, who is the spouse of the Companys President, Mark Flynn, served as Chief Marketing Officer of NestGSV, Inc. until her resignation in January 2017. Ron Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of Enjoy Technology, Inc., one of the Companys portfolio companies, is the brother-in-law of the Companys President,
Mark Flynn. As of June 30, 2017, the fair values of the Companys investments in NestGSV, Inc. and Enjoy Technology, Inc. were $8,705,142 and $5,297,975, respectively. Another one of the Companys portfolio companies, SPBRX, INC. (f/k/a GSV Sustainability Partners, Inc.), was previously allowed to utilize office space paid for by GSV Asset Management. SPBRX, INC. was not required to pay GSV Asset Management or the Company any consideration for rent. The Company did not consider this to be an arms-length transaction. In August 2016, SPBRX, INC. (f/k/a GSV Sustainability Partners, Inc.) moved out of the office space paid for by GSV Asset Management. In addition, the Companys executive officers and directors, and the principals of the Companys investment adviser, GSV Asset Management, serve or may serve as officers and directors of entities that operate in a line of business similar to the Companys, including new entities that may be formed in the future. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of the Company or the Companys stockholders. For example, as of August 9, 2017, GSV Asset Management also manages Coursera@GSV Fund, LP, and Coursera@GSV-EDBI Fund, LP,
special purpose vehicles each comprised of an underlying investment in Coursera stock (the Coursera Funds). GSV Asset Management also serves as sub-adviser for certain investment series of GSV Ventures I LLC, GSV Ventures II LLC, GSV Ventures V LLC, GSV Ventures VI LLC and a pooled investment fund, GSV Ventures III LLC, each a venture capital fund (collectively, the GSV Ventures Funds). GSV Asset Management will likely manage one or more private funds, or series within such private funds, in the future. The Company has no ownership interests in the Coursera Funds or the GSV Ventures Funds sub-advised by GSV Asset Management. While the investment focus of each of these entities, including the Coursera Funds and the GSV Ventures Funds, may be different from the Companys investment objective, it is likely that new investment opportunities that meet the Companys investment objective will come to the attention of one of these entities, or new entities that will likely be formed in the future in connection with another investment advisory client or program, and, if so, such opportunity might not be offered, or otherwise made available, to the Company. However, the Companys executive officers, directors and investment adviser, GSV Asset
Management, intend to treat the Company in a fair and equitable manner consistent with their applicable duties under law so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other particular client. In addition, while GSV Asset Management anticipates that it will from time to time identify investment opportunities that are appropriate for both the Company and the other funds that are currently, or in the future may be, managed by GSV Asset Management, to the extent it does identify such opportunities, GSV Asset Management has established an allocation policy to ensure that the Company has priority over such other funds. The Companys board of directors will monitor on a quarterly basis any such allocation of investment opportunities between the Company and any such other funds.
 27    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 2  RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS   (continued) In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related-party transactions. To ensure that the Company does not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with the Company, the Company has implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby the Companys executive officers screen each of the Companys transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, the Company, companies controlled by the Company and the Companys executive officers and directors. During the year ended
December 31, 2016, the Company received other income of $212,795 from the proceeds of Michael Moes sale of common shares of 2U, Inc. (f/k/a 2tor, Inc.), one of the Companys former portfolio companies, that Mr. Moe received while serving on 2Us board of directors. These sales proceeds were remitted directly to the Company. Investments in Controlled and Affiliated Portfolio Companies Under the 1940 Act, the Companys investments in controlled and affiliated portfolio companies are deemed to be related-party transactions. NOTE 3  INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE The Companys investments in portfolio companies consist primarily of equity securities (such as common stock, preferred stock and warrants to purchase common and preferred stock) and to a lesser extent, debt securities, issued by private and publicly traded companies. The Company may also from time to time, invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. Non-portfolio investments represent investments in U.S. Treasury Securities. At June 30, 2017, the Company had 80 positions in 38 portfolio companies. At December 31, 2016, the Company had 91 positions in 45 portfolio companies. The following table summarizes the
composition of the Companys investment portfolio by security type at cost and fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:  June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 3  INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE   (continued) Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Assets and Liabilities In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the tables below provide quantitative information about the Companys fair value measurements of its Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, according to the Companys valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the Companys fair value measurements. The tables below are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the Companys fair value measurements. To the
extent an unobservable input is not reflected in the tables below, such input is deemed insignificant with respect to the Companys Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Significant changes in the inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement, depending on the input and the materiality of the investment.

The significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities are shown above. Increases (decreases) in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) multiples, time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values all else equal. Decreases (increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates, would result in higher (lower) fair values all else equal.

 The portfolio companies in which the Company invests periodically offer their shares in IPOs, which are typically subject to lock-up agreements for 180 days following the IPO. Refer to Note 1  Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  Levelling Policy for further detail. NOTE 4  EQUITY OFFERINGS AND RELATED EXPENSES No new shares of the Companys common stock were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 5  NET INCREASE/(DECREASE) IN NET ASSETS RESULTING FROM OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE  BASIC AND DILUTED The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The use of the if-converted method as promulgated under ASC 260 considers all potentially dilutive securities in a companys capital structure when calculating diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether it would be economically beneficial for a holder of such potentially dilutive security to exercise their conversion option (such as out of the money warrants.) In scenarios where
diluted net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share is higher than basic net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share, ASC 260 prohibits the separate presentation of the diluted net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share figure. In scenarios where diluted net decrease in net assets resulting from operations per share is lower than basic net decrease in net assets resulting from operations per share, ASC 260 prohibits the separate presentation of the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations per share figure.

          The per-share figures noted are based on a weighted average of 22,181,003 basic common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. (2)

          Total return based on market value is based on the change in market price per share between the opening and ending market values per share in the period. Total return based on net asset value is based upon the change in net asset value per share between the opening and ending net asset values per share. (3)

          Financial Highlights for periods of less than one year are annualized and the ratios of operating expenses to average net assets and net investment loss to average net assets are adjusted accordingly. Non-recurring expenses are not annualized. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not incur any non-recurring expenses. Because the ratios are calculated for the Companys common stock taken as a whole, an individual investors ratios may vary from these ratios. NOTE 8  INCOME TAXES The Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014, has qualified to be treated as a RIC for subsequent taxable years and expects to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. Accordingly, the Company must generally distribute at least 90% of its ICTI to qualify for the treatment accorded to a RIC and to maintain its RIC status. As part of maintaining RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given fiscal year may be distributed up to 12
months subsequent to the end of that fiscal year, provided such dividends are declared prior to the later of (1) the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of that fiscal year or (2) the extended due date for filing the U.S. federal income tax return for that fiscal year.
 37    TABLE OF CONTENTS GSV CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 8  INCOME TAXES   (continued) As a result of the Company electing to be treated as a RIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2014 in connection with the filing of its 2014 tax return, it may be required to pay a corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on the amount of the net built-in gains, if any, in its assets (the amount by which the net fair market value of the Companys assets exceeds the net adjusted basis in its assets) as of the date of conversion to a RIC (i.e., the beginning of the first taxable year that the Company qualifies as a RIC, which would be January 1, 2014) to the extent that such gains are recognized by the Company
during the applicable recognition period, which is the five-year period beginning on the date of conversion. Any corporate-level built-in-gains tax is payable at the time the built-in gains are recognized (which generally will be the years in which the assets with the built-in-gains are sold in a taxable transaction). The amount of this tax will vary depending on the assets that are actually sold by the Company in this five-year period, the actual amount of net built-in gain or loss present in those assets as of the date of conversion, and the effective tax rates at such times. The payment of any such corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on built-in gains will be a Company expense that will reduce the amount available for
distribution to stockholders. The built-in-gains tax is calculated by determining the RICs net unrealized built-in gains, if any, by which the fair market value of the assets of the RIC at the beginning of its first RIC year exceeds the aggregate adjusted basis of such assets at that time. As of January 1, 2014, the Company had net unrealized built-in gains. It did not incur a built-in-gains tax for the 2014 tax year due to the fact that there were sufficient net capital loss carryforwards to completely offset recognized built-in gains as well as available net operating losses. The GSVC Holdings are C corporations for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for the GSVC Holdings income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net operating loss carryforwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences. As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 3016, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $10.4 million, of which approximately $10.2 million has been recorded in the event that such gains are recognized by December 31, 2018, and approximately $0.2 million relates to the difference in the book and tax basis of certain equity investments and tax net operating losses held by the GSVC Holdings. For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, a portion of the GSVC Holdings net operating loss carryforwards and basis differences may be subject to limitations on annual utilization in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state law. The amount of such limitations, if any, has not been determined. Accordingly, the amount of such tax attributes available to offset future profits may be significantly less than the actual amounts of the tax attributes. The Company and the GSVC Holdings identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and California and may be subject to the taxing authorities examination for the tax years 2013  2016 and 2012  2016, respectively. The Company and the GSVC Holdings accrue all interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as incurred. As of June 30, 2017, there were no interest or penalties incurred related to uncertain tax positions.

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 9  LONG-TERM LIABILITIES Convertible Senior Notes Payable On September 17, 2013, the Company issued $69 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2014 (the Convertible Senior Notes). The Convertible Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2018, unless previously repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock
based on a conversion rate of 83.3596 shares of the Companys common stock per $1,000 of principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.00 per share of common stock. The table below shows a reconciliation from the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes to the balance shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Companys common stock. The Convertible Senior Notes are the Companys senior, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Senior Notes, equal in right of payment to any future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated to the Convertible Senior Notes, junior to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Companys subsidiaries. The Convertible Senior Notes contained an interest make-whole payment provision pursuant to which holders who converted their notes prior to September 15, 2016, would receive, in addition to a number of shares of the Companys common stock calculated at the applicable conversion rate for the principal amount of notes being converted, the cash proceeds from the sale by the escrow agent of the portion of the U.S. Treasury Strips in the escrow account that were remaining with respect to any of the first six interest payments that had not been made on the notes being converted. Under FASB ASC 815-10-15-74(a), the interest
make-whole payment was considered an embedded derivative and was separated from the host contract, the Convertible Senior Notes, and carried at fair value. The interest make-whole payment provision expired on September 15, 2016 rendering the embedded derivative with no value, however the original value of the embedded derivative of $700,000 continues to be amortized over the life of the Convertible Senior Notes. Credit Facility Western Alliance Bank Credit Facility The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, effective May 31, 2017 (the Loan Agreement), with Western Alliance Bank, pursuant to which Western Alliance Bank agreed to provide the Company with a $12 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). The Credit

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) NOTE 9  LONG-TERM LIABILITIES   (continued) Facility, among other things, matures on the later of (i) August 15, 2018 or (ii) thirty days prior to the due date of the Convertible Senior Notes, which mature on September 15, 2018. The Credit Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 3.50%. In addition, a facility fee of $60,000 was charged upon closing of the Credit Facility, and the Loan Agreement requires payment of a fee for unused amounts during the revolving period in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum of the average unused portion of the Credit Facility payable quarterly in arrears. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities, including, without limitation, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness (with unsecured longer-term indebtedness limited to $70 million in the aggregate), compliance with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, a minimum net asset value requirement of at least the greater of $60 million or five times the amount of the Credit Facility, a limitation on
the Companys net asset value being reduced by more than 15% of its net asset value at December 31, 2016, and maintenance of RIC and business development company status. The Loan Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy, the cessation of the Advisory Agreement, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Companys property and assets, except for the Companys assets pledged to secure certain obligations in connection with the Companys issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes and as may be pledged in connection with any future issuance by the Company of Convertible Senior Notes on substantially similar terms. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $8,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, effective December 31, 2013 (the SVB Loan Agreement), with Silicon Valley Bank, pursuant to which Silicon Valley Bank agreed to provide the Company with an $18 million credit facility (the SVB Credit Facility). The SVB Credit Facility expired on December 31, 2016 in accordance with its terms. Under the SVB Credit Facility, the Company was permitted to borrow an amount equal to the lesser of $18 million or 20% of the Companys then-current net asset value. The SVB Credit Facility bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4.75% or (ii) 8.0% on amounts drawn under the SVB Credit Facility based on a 360-day year. In addition, a fee of $180,000 per annum (1.0% of the $18 million revolving line of credit) was charged under the SVB Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the SVB Credit Facility, the Company was required to repay all outstanding borrowings on the SVB Credit Facility so that there is at least one 30-day period every 12 months during which the Company has no balance outstanding. The Company made certain customary representations and
warranties under the SVB Loan Agreement and was required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The SVB Loan Agreement included usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of a similar nature, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. The SVB Credit Facility was secured by all of the Companys property and assets, except for the Companys assets pledged to secure certain obligations in connection with the Companys issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes. Borrowing under the SVB Credit Facility was subject to the leverage restrictions

          The average net share price is the net share price realized after deducting all commissions and fees on the sale(s). The Company is frequently in negotiations with various private companies with respect to investments in such companies. Investments in private companies are generally subject to satisfaction of applicable closing conditions. In the case of secondary market transactions, such closing conditions may include approval of the issuer, waiver or failure to exercise rights of first refusal by the issuer and/or its stockholders and termination rights by the seller or the Company. Equity investments made through the secondary market may involve making deposits in escrow accounts until the applicable closing conditions are satisfied, at
which time the escrow accounts will close and such equity investments will be effectuated. Management Transition On August 8, 2017, the Company announced Michael Moes resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective August 11, 2017, and that the Companys board of directors had appointed Mark Klein, a member of the Companys board of directors and a consultant to GSV Asset Management, to serve as the Companys Chief Executive Officer, effective August 11, 2017. Mr. Moe will continue to serve the Company in his role as Chairman of the Companys board of directors. Further information regarding the Companys management transition can be found in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K,
filed with the SEC on August 8, 2017. Share Repurchase Program On August 7, 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized a discretionary share repurchase program of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of up to $5.0 million over the next twelve months, until the earlier of (i) August 6, 2018 or (ii) the repurchase of $5.0 million in aggregate

 42    TABLE OF CONTENTS Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking statements This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, will, may, continue, believes, seeks, estimates, would, could,
should, targets, projects, and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to: 

          our future operating results; 

          our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies; 

          the impact of investments that we expect to make; 

          our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties; 

          the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest; 

          the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives; 

          our expected financings and investments; 

          the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and 

          the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation: 

          an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies; 

          an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the market sectors in which a significant portion of our portfolio is concentrated, causing us to suffer losses in our portfolio; 

          a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our investment activities; 

          interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly because we use leverage as part of our investment strategy; and 

          the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in Risk Factors in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K, and in our filings with the SEC. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and
objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K, in the Risk Factors section. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 43    TABLE OF CONTENTS The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Overview We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolios total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related investments. We invest principally in the equity securities of what we believe to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies. We have also invested, on an opportunistic basis, in select publicly traded equity securities of rapidly growing companies that otherwise meet our investment criteria, and
may continue to do so in the future. In addition, while we invest primarily in U.S. companies, we may invest on an opportunistic basis in certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet our investment criteria. In regards to the regulatory requirements for business development companies under the 1940 Act, some of these investments may not qualify as investments in eligible portfolio companies, and thus may not be considered qualifying assets. Eligible portfolio companies generally include U.S. companies that are not investment companies and that do not have securities listed on a national exchange. If at any time less than 70% of our gross assets are comprised of qualifying assets, including as a result of an increase in the value of any non-qualifying assets or decrease in the value of any qualifying assets, we would generally not be permitted to acquire any additional non-qualifying assets until such time as 70% of our then-current gross assets
were comprised of qualifying assets. We would not be required, however, to dispose of any non-qualifying assets in such circumstances. We acquire our investments in portfolio companies through offerings of the prospective portfolio companies, transactions on secondary marketplaces for private companies and negotiations with selling stockholders. Our investment activities are managed by GSV Asset Management. GSV Capital Service Company provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate. Our investment philosophy is premised on a disciplined approach of identifying high-growth emerging companies across several key industry themes that may include, among others, social mobile, cloud computing and big data, internet commerce, sustainability and education technology. GSV Asset Managements investment decisions are based on a disciplined analysis of available information regarding each potential portfolio companys business operations, focusing on the companys growth potential, the quality of recurring revenues and cash flow and cost structures, as well as an understanding of key market
fundamentals. Many of the companies that our investment adviser, GSV Asset Management, evaluates have financial backing from top-tier venture capital funds or other financial or strategic sponsors. We seek to deploy capital primarily in the form of non-controlling equity and equity-related investments, including common stock, warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio companys common equity, and convertible debt securities with a significant equity component. Typically, our preferred stock investments are non-income-producing, have different voting rights than common stock and are generally convertible into common stock at our discretion. Our investments generally do not produce current income and, therefore, we may be dependent on future
capital raising to meet our operating needs if no other source of liquidity is available. Investments  (Portfolio Activity) The value of our investment portfolio will change over time due to changes in the fair value of our underlying investments, as well as changes in the composition of our portfolio resulting from purchases of new and follow-on investments and the sales of existing investments. The fair value, as of June 30, 2017, of all of our portfolio investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills and Strips, was $282,767,818. The following table summarizes the investment purchases we funded during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Total Gross Payments include both the actual cost of an investment as well as capitalized costs (such
as legal and other fees) associated with entering into a portfolio company investment. Refer to Note 1  Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for further detail. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we did not fund any investments and we capitalized fees of $280.

          The per-share figures are based on weighted averages of 22,181,003 shares of basic common shares outstanding for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 Investment Income Investment income increased during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income and, to a lesser extent, increased dividend income. The increase in interest income resulted from our acquisition of additional interest-bearing debt investments during the three months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the cost of our debt investments increased to $8,565,822 from $6,179,807 as of June 30, 2016, which allowed us to earn additional interest income on our portfolio investments. The increase in dividend income resulted
from a $125,000 dividend received from our investment in SPBRX, INC. (f/k/a GSV Sustainability Partners, Inc.). Additionally, we received $73,096 in proceeds from Gilt Groupe Holdings, Inc., an investment we previously held that was sold to Hudsons Bay Co., the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, in January 2016. Investment income also increased during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compare to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income and increased dividend income. The increase in interest income resulted from our acquisition of additional interest-bearing debt investments during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which allowed us to earn additional interest income on our portfolio investments. The increase in dividend income resulted from $300,000 of dividends received from our investment in SPBRX, INC. (f/k/a GSV Sustainability Partners, Inc.) during the six months ended
June 30, 2017. Additionally, we received $73,096 in proceeds from Gilt Groupe Holdings, Inc., as discussed above.
 47    TABLE OF CONTENTS Operating Expenses Total operating expenses (net of the management fee waiver) increased to $6,253,554 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $1,397,922 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a reversal of accrued incentive fees for the three months ended June 30, 2016, whereas we accrued incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2017. We accrued incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the unrealized appreciation of our portfolio investments in the aggregate during the period. The increase in operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, was also due, to a lesser extent, to an increase in professional fees period over period, which includes legal, valuation, audit and consulting fees. The increase in total operating expenses period over period was partially offset by lower management fees, resulting from lower average gross assets outstanding and GSV Asset Managements voluntary 0.25% reduction to the base management fee payable under the Advisory Agreement, as well as a decrease in costs incurred under the Administration Agreement. Total operating expenses (net of the management fee waiver) increased to $11,400,225 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $953,567 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a reversal of accrued incentive fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016, whereas we accrued incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We accrued incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the unrealized appreciation of our portfolio investments in the aggregate during the period. The increase in total operating expenses caused by the accrual of incentive fees during the six
months ended June 30, 2017, as discussed above, was partially offset by lower management fees period over period, resulting from lower average gross assets outstanding and GSV Asset Managements voluntary 0.25% reduction to the base management fee payable under the Advisory Agreement, as well as a decrease in costs incurred under the Administration Agreement and a decrease in professional fees period over period, which includes legal, valuation, audit and consulting fees.

The increase in net investment loss resulted primarily from the accrual of incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in investment income. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a net investment loss of $10,691,173, compared to net investment loss of $905,034 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2,602,570 from $8,332,634 at the beginning of the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we borrowed $8,000,000 under the Credit Facility, which partially
offset the decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Equity Issuances & Debt Capital Activities There were no sales of our equity or debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

          Payable for securities purchased relates to the purchase of the U.S. Treasury Bill on margin. The payable for securities purchased was subsequently repaid on July 6, 2017, when the $100.0 million United States Treasury Bill matured and the $10.5 million margin deposit that was posted as collateral was returned. (2)

          On July 7, 2017, we paid off the $8.0 million due under the Credit Facility. As of August 9, 2017, there is no balance outstanding. (3)

          The total unused amount available under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2017 was $4.0 million. (4)

          The weighted-average interest rate incurred under the Credit Facility was 0.02% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. (5)

          The balance shown for the Convertible Senior Notes reflects the principal balance payable to investors. Refer to Note 9  Long-Term Liabilities to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for more information. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices. However, we may employ hedging and other risk management techniques in the future. Distributions The timing and amount of our distributions, if any, will be determined by our board of directors and will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. The following table lists the distributions, including dividends and returns of capital, if any, per share that we have declared since our formation through June 30, 2017. The table is divided by fiscal year according to record date:  Date Declared

          The distribution was paid in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of stockholders, although the total amount of cash distributed to all stockholders was limited to approximately 50% of the total distribution to be paid to all stockholders. As a result of stockholder elections, the distribution consisted of approximately 2,860,903 shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash, or approximately 14.8% of our outstanding shares prior to the distribution, as well as cash of $26,358,885. The number of shares of common stock comprising the stock portion was calculated based on a price of $9.425 per share, which equaled the average of the volume weighted-average trading price per share of our common stock on December 28, 29 and 30, 2015. None of the $2.76 per share distribution represented a return of capital. (2)

          Of the total distribution of $887,240 on August 24, 2016, $820,753 represented a distribution from realized gains and $66,487 represented a return of capital.
 52    TABLE OF CONTENTS We intend to focus on making capital gains-based investments from which we will derive primarily capital gains. As a consequence, we do not anticipate that we will pay distributions on a quarterly basis or become a predictable distributor of distributions, and we expect that our distributions, if any, will be much less consistent than the distributions of other business development companies that primarily make debt investments. If there are earnings or realized capital gains to be distributed, we intend to declare and pay a distribution at least annually. The amount of realized capital gains available for distribution to
stockholders will be impacted by our tax status. Our current intention is to make any future distributions out of assets legally available in the form of additional shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, unless a stockholder elects to receive dividends and/or long-term capital gains distributions in cash. Under the dividend reinvestment plan, if a stockholder owns shares of common stock registered in its own name, the stockholder will have all cash distributions (net of any withholding) automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock unless the stockholder opts out of our dividend reinvestment plan by delivering a written notice to our
dividend paying agent prior to the record date of the next dividend or distribution. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to the U.S. stockholder, although no cash distribution has been made. As a result, if a stockholder does not elect to opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan, it will be required to pay applicable federal, state and local taxes on any reinvested dividends even though such stockholder will not receive a corresponding cash distribution. In addition, reinvested dividends have the effect of increasing our gross assets, which may correspondingly increase the management fee payable to our investment adviser, GSV Asset Management. Stockholders who hold shares in the name of a broker or financial intermediary should contact the broker or financial intermediary regarding any election to receive distributions in cash. We elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014 and continue to qualify to be treated as a RIC. So long as we qualify and maintain our status as a RIC, we generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute at least annually to our stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the RIC will represent obligations of our investors and will not be reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In order to qualify as a RIC and to
avoid corporate-level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and short-term capital gains to our stockholders on an annual basis. See Note 1  Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes and Note 8  Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for more information. The GSVC Holdings included in our condensed consolidated financial statements are taxable subsidiaries, regardless of whether we are a RIC. These taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expenses as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. Such income tax expenses and deferred taxes, if any, will be reflected in our condensed
consolidated financial statements. Borrowings Convertible Senior Notes Payable On September 17, 2013, we issued $69 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes (including $9 million aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes), which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, are payable semi-annually and mature on September 15, 2018, unless previously repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. We do not have the right to redeem the Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity. As of June 30, 2017, the Convertible Senior Notes were convertible into shares of our
common stock based on a conversion rate of 83.3596 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.00 per share of common stock. Refer to Note 9  Long-Term Liabilities to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for more information regarding the Convertible Senior Notes.
 53    TABLE OF CONTENTS Credit Facility On May 31, 2017, we entered into the Loan Agreement with Western Alliance Bank, pursuant to which Western Alliance Bank agreed to provide us with the $12 million Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, among other things, matures on the later of (i) August 15, 2018 or (ii) thirty days prior to the due date of the Convertible Senior Notes, which mature on September 15, 2018. The Credit Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 3.50%. In addition, a facility fee of $60,000 was charged upon closing of the Credit Facility, and the Loan Agreement requires payment of a fee for unused amounts during the
revolving period in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum of the average unused portion of the Credit Facility payable quarterly in arrears. Refer to Note 9  Long-Term Liabilities to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for more information regarding the Credit Facility. Critical Accounting Policies Critical accounting policies and practices are the policies that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require managements most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. These include estimates of the fair value of our Level 3 investments and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ materially from such estimates. See Note 1  Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 for further detail regarding our critical accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet required to be adopted by us. Recent Developments Portfolio Activity From June 30, 2017 through August 9, 2017, we did not purchase any investments. From June 30, 2017 through August 9, 2017, we sold investments of $5,739,896 net of transaction costs as shown in following table:  Sales by Portfolio Company

          The average net share price is the net share price realized after deducting all commissions and fees on the sale(s). We are frequently in negotiations with various private companies with respect to investments in such companies. Investments in private companies are generally subject to satisfaction of applicable closing conditions. In the case of secondary market transactions, such closing conditions may include approval of the issuer, waiver or failure to exercise rights of first refusal by the issuer and/or its stockholders and termination rights by the seller or us. Equity investments made through the secondary market may involve making deposits in escrow accounts until the applicable closing conditions are satisfied, at which time the
escrow accounts will close and such equity investments will be effectuated.
 54    TABLE OF CONTENTS Management Transition On August 8, 2017, we announced Michael Moes resignation as our Chief Executive Officer, effective August 11, 2017, and that our board of directors had appointed Mark Klein, a member of our board of directors and a consultant to GSV Asset Management, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, effective August 11, 2017. Mr. Moe will continue to serve in his role as Chairman of our board of directors. Further information regarding our management transition can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2017. Share Repurchase Program On August 7, 2017, our board of directors authorized a discretionary share repurchase program of shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of up to $5.0 million over the next twelve months, until the earlier of (i) August 6, 2018 or (ii) the repurchase of $5.0 million in aggregate amount of our common stock. Under the repurchase program, we may repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market provided that we comply with the prohibitions under our insider trading policies and procedures and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Exchange Act. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk Our equity investments are primarily in growth companies that in many cases have short operating histories and are generally illiquid. In addition to the risk that these companies may fail to achieve their objectives, the price we may receive for these companies in private transactions may be significantly impacted by periods of disruption and instability in the capital markets. While these periods of disruption generally have little actual impact on the operating results of our equity investments, these events may significantly impact the prices that market participants will pay for our equity investments in private
transactions. This may have a significant impact on the valuation of our equity investments. Interest Rate Risk We are subject to financial market risks, which could include, to the extent we utilize leverage with variable rate structures, changes in interest rates. As we invest primarily in equity rather than debt instruments, we would not expect fluctuations in interest rates to directly impact the return on our portfolio investments, although any significant change in market interest rates could potentially have an indirect effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the portfolio companies in which we invest. As of June 30, 2017, all of our debt investments bore a fixed rate of interest. As of June 30, 2017, all of our borrowings bore a fixed rate of interest with the exception of the Credit Facility, which is indexed to the prime rate. We do not expect a significant impact on net investment income or loss due to changes in the prime rate, based on its historical stability. The table below, however, indicates the impact on our net investment income or loss should the prime rate change. Based on our June 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows the various, incremental impact of changes in interest rates on our net income or loss related to the Credit Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2017, assuming no changes in our investment income and borrowing structure.

          Assumes we have borrowed $12 million under the Credit Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our actual borrowings under the Credit Facility will vary based on our needs throughout the year. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our actual average borrowings under the Credit Facility were $176,796.
 55    TABLE OF CONTENTS Although we believe that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to the above-referenced interest rate changes, it does not reflect potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on our statement of assets and liabilities and other business developments that could affect net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations, or net income or loss. Item 4. Controls and Procedures As of June 30, 2017, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 56    TABLE OF CONTENTS PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Although we and our subsidiaries may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our and our subsidiaries operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are currently party to any pending material legal proceedings. Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or
operating results. Other than as described below, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016: If we default under the Credit Facility or any other future indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Convertible Senior Notes. Any default under the Credit Facility or any other future indebtedness to which we may be a party that is not waived by the required lenders or holders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could make us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Convertible Senior Notes and substantially decrease the market value of the Convertible Senior Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various
covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness, we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness may have the ability to elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under the Credit Facility or other debt we may incur in the future may elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to seek to obtain waivers from the required lenders under the Credit Facility or other debt that we may incur in the future to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under the Credit Facility or other debt and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the
required lenders or holders. If this occurs, we may be in default under the Credit Facility or other debt, the lenders or holders could exercise their rights as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If we are unable to repay debt, lenders having secured obligations, including the lenders under the Credit Facility, could proceed against the collateral securing the debt. Because the Credit Facility has, and any future credit facilities will likely have, customary cross-default provisions, if the indebtedness under the Convertible Senior Notes, the Credit Facility or under any future credit facility is accelerated, we may be unable to repay or finance the amounts due. If we default under the Credit Facility or any future borrowing facility we enter into or are unable to amend, repay or refinance any such facility on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we may suffer material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility. In the event that we default under the Credit Facility or any other future borrowing facility, our business could be adversely affected as we may be forced to sell all or a portion of our investments quickly and prematurely at what may be disadvantageous prices to us in order to meet our outstanding payment obligations and/or support working capital requirements under the Credit Facility or such future borrowing facility, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 57    TABLE OF CONTENTS Following any such default, the agent for the lenders under the Credit Facility or such future borrowing facility could assume control of the disposition of any or all of our assets, including the selection of such assets to be disposed and the timing of such disposition, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, if the lender exercises its right to sell the assets pledged under the Credit Facility, such sales may be completed at distressed sale prices, thereby diminishing or potentially eliminating the amount of cash available to us
after repayment of our outstanding borrowings. Moreover, such deleveraging of our Company could significantly impair our ability to effectively operate our business in the manner in which we have historically operated. As a result, we could be forced to curtail or cease new investment activities and lower or eliminate the dividends that we have historically paid to our stockholders. Item 2.
