GLADSTONE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2018

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

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Gladstone Capital Corporation was
incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on May 30, 2001 and completed an initial public offering on August 24, 2001. The terms the Company, we, our and us all refer to
Gladstone Capital Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected
to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and is applying the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB)
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies(ASC 946). In addition, we have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (RIC) under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of established private businesses operating in the United States (U.S.). Our investment
objectives are to: (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established lower middle market companies (which we generally define as companies with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of $3 million to $15 million) in the U.S. that we believe will provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make
distributions to stockholders that grow over time; and (2) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to
permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains.

Gladstone Business Loan, LLC (Business Loan), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours,
was established on February 3, 2003, for the sole purpose of owning a portion of our portfolio of investments in connection with our line of credit. The financial statements of Business Loan are consolidated with those of Gladstone Capital
Corporation. We also have significant subsidiaries (as defined under Rule 1-02(w) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) Regulation S-X)
whose financial statements are not consolidated with ours. Refer to Note 12  Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries for additional information regarding our unconsolidated significant subsidiaries.

We are externally managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the Adviser), a Delaware corporation and an SEC registered investment adviser and
an affiliate of ours, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the Advisory Agreement). Administrative services are provided by our affiliate, Gladstone Administration, LLC (the Administrator), a Delaware
limited liability company, pursuant to an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement). Refer to Note 4Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding these arrangements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

We prepare our interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial
information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have not included in this
quarterly report all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we do not consolidate portfolio company investments. Under the investment company rules and regulations
pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, codified in ASC 946, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, except that ASC 946
provides for the consolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to the investment company or its consolidated subsidiaries. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring
accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of results that
ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year or any future interim periods. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC on November 20, 2017.

Use of
Estimates

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying
notes. Reclassifications did not impact net increase in net assets resulting from operations, total assets, total liabilities or total net assets, or Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Statement of Cash Flows classifications.

Investment Valuation Policy

Accounting Recognition

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

Board Responsibility

In accordance with the 1940 Act,
our Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our investments based on our investment valuation policy (which has been approved by our Board of Directors) (the
Policy). Such review occurs in three phases. First, prior to its quarterly meetings, the Board of Directors receives written valuation recommendations and supporting materials provided by professionals of the Adviser and
Administrator with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer (the Valuation Team). Second, the Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors (comprised entirely of independent directors) meets to review the valuation
recommendations and supporting materials presented by the chief valuation officer. Third, after the Valuation Committee concludes its meeting, it and the chief valuation officer present the Valuation Committees findings to the entire
Board of Directors so that the full Board of Directors may review and approve the fair value of our investments in accordance with the Policy.

There is no
single standard for determining fair value (especially for privately-held businesses), as fair value depends upon the specific facts and circumstances of each individual investment. In determining the fair value of our investments, the
Valuation Team, led by the chief valuation officer, uses the Policy and each quarter the Valuation Committee and Board of Directors review the Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also review whether the Valuation Team has
applied the Policy consistently.

Use of Third Party Valuation Firms

The Valuation Team engages third party valuation firms to provide independent assessments of fair value of certain of our investments. ICE, Data Pricing and
Reference Data, LLC (ICE) (formerly Standard and Poors Securities Evaluations, Inc.), a valuation specialist, generally provides estimates of fair value on our proprietary debt investments. The Valuation Team generally assigns
ICEs estimates of fair value to our debt investments where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company. The Valuation Team corroborates ICEs estimates of fair value using one or more of the
valuation techniques discussed below. The Valuation Teams estimate of value on a specific debt investment may significantly differ from ICEs. When this occurs, our Valuation Committee and Board of Directors review whether the Valuation
Team has followed the Policy and whether the Valuation Teams recommended fair value is reasonable in light of the Policy and other facts and circumstances and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Teams recommended fair value.

We may engage other independent valuation firms to provide earnings multiple ranges, as well as other information, and evaluate such information for
incorporation into the total enterprise value (TEV) of certain of our investments. Generally, at least once per year, we engage an independent valuation firm to value or review the valuation of our significant equity investments,
which includes providing the information noted above. The Valuation Team evaluates such information for incorporation into our TEV, including review of all inputs provided by the independent valuation firm. The Valuation Team then makes a
recommendation to our Valuation Committee and Board of Directors as to the fair value. Our Board of Directors reviews the recommended fair value, and whether it is reasonable in light of the Policy, and other relevant facts and circumstances
and then votes to accept or reject the Valuation Teams recommended fair value.

Valuation Techniques

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



| |  |  | Total Enterprise Value  In determining the fair value using a TEV, the Valuation Team first
calculates the TEV of the portfolio company by incorporating some or all of the following factors: the portfolio companys ability to make payments and other specific portfolio company attributes; the earnings of the portfolio company (the
trailing or projected twelve month revenue or EBITDA); EBITDA obtained from our indexing methodology whereby the original transaction EBITDA at the time of our closing is indexed to a general subset of comparable disclosed transactions and EBITDA
from recent sales to third parties of similar securities in similar industries; a comparison to publicly traded securities in similar industries, and other pertinent factors. The Valuation Team generally reviews industry statistics and may use
outside experts when gathering this information. Once the TEV is determined for a portfolio company,

| | the Valuation Team generally allocates the TEV to the portfolio companys securities based on the facts and circumstances of the securities, which typically results in the allocation of fair
value to securities based on the order of their relative priority in the capital structure. Generally, the Valuation Team uses TEV to value our equity investments and, in the circumstances where we have the ability to effectuate a sale of a
portfolio company, our debt investments.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



| |  |  | Yield Analysis  The Valuation Team generally determines the fair value of our debt investments (where we do not have the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company) using the yield analysis, which
includes a DCF calculation and assumptions that the Valuation Team believes market participants would use, including, but not limited to, estimated remaining life, current market yield, current leverage, and interest rate spreads. This technique
develops a modified discount rate that incorporates risk premiums including, among other things, increased probability of default, increased loss upon default and increased liquidity risk. Generally, the Valuation Team uses the yield analysis to
corroborate both estimates of value provided by ICE and market quotes.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Market Quotes  For our investments for which a limited market exists, we generally base fair value on readily available and reliable market quotations which are corroborated by the Valuation Team (generally
by using the yield analysis explained above). In addition, the Valuation Team assesses trading activity for similar investments and evaluates variances in quotations and other market insights to determine if any available quoted prices are reliable.
Typically, the Valuation Team uses the lower indicative bid price (IBP) in the bid-to-ask price range obtained from the respective originating syndication
agents trading desk on or near the valuation date. The Valuation Team may take further steps to consider additional information to validate that price in accordance with the Policy. For securities that are publicly traded, we generally base
fair value on the closing market price of our shares as of the reporting date. For restricted securities that are publicly traded, we generally base fair value on the closing market price of our shares as of the reporting date less a discount for
the restriction, which includes consideration of the nature and term to expiration of the restriction.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

In addition to the valuation techniques listed above, the Valuation Team may also consider other factors when determining the fair value of our investments,
including, but not limited to: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties guaranties, any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company, timing of expected loan repayments, and the
markets in which the portfolio company operates. New and follow-on debt and equity investments made during the current reporting quarter are generally valued at our original cost basis, as appropriate, as
near-measurement date transaction value generally is a reasonable indicator of fair value.

Fair value measurements of our investments may involve
subjective judgments and estimates and due to the uncertainty inherent in valuing these securities, the determinations of fair value may fluctuate from period to period and may differ materially from the values that could be obtained if a ready
market for these securities existed. Our NAV could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments are materially different from the values that we ultimately realize upon our disposal of such securities.
Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investment may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned. Further,
such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize
significantly less than the value at which it is recorded.

Refer to Note 3Investments for additional information regarding fair value
measurements and our application of ASC 820.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income, including
the amortization of premiums, acquisition costs and amendment fees, the accretion of original issue discounts (OID), and paid-in-kind (PIK)
interest, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when a loan becomes 90 days or more past due or if our qualitative assessment indicates that the debtor is unable to service its debt
or other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent
to pay contractual amounts due. However, we remain contractually entitled to this interest. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to the cost basis depending
upon managements judgment. Generally, non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current, or
due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. At June 30, 2018, certain loans to one portfolio company, Sunshine Media Holdings, were on non-accrual status with an
aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $22.6 million, or 5.5% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.0 million, or 0.3% of the fair value of all debt investments in
our portfolio. At September 30, 2017, certain loans to two portfolio companies, Sunshine Media Holdings and Alloy Die Casting Co., were on non-accrual status with an aggregate debt cost basis of
approximately $27.9 million, or 7.5% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate fair value of approximately $5.6 million, or 1.7% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio.

We currently hold, and we expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain OID or PIK provisions. We recognize OID for loans originally
issued at discounts and recognize the income over the life of the obligation based on an effective yield calculation. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in a loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of a loan and
recorded as income over the life of the obligation. Thus, the actual collection of PIK income may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. To maintain our ability to be taxed as a RIC, we may need to pay out both OID and PIK non-cash income amounts in the form of distributions, even though we have not yet collected the cash on either.

As of
June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had seven and six OID loans, respectively, primarily from the syndicated loans in our portfolio. We recorded OID income of $12 and $122 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018,
respectively, and $57 and $144 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID investments as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 totaled $0.5 million and $0.4 million,
respectively. As of each of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had six investments which had a PIK interest component. We recorded PIK interest income of $1.1 million and $3.5 million during the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $3.8 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We collected $0 and $0.8 million in PIK interest in cash during the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $0 and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Success Fee Income Recognition

We record success fees as
income when earned, which often occurs upon receipt of cash. Success fees are generally contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company, typically resulting from an exit or sale.

Dividend Income Recognition

We accrue dividend income on
preferred and common equity securities to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we have the option to collect such amounts in cash or other consideration. During the year ended September 30, 2017, we recharacterized
$0.2 million of dividend income from our investment in Behrens Manufacturing, LLC recorded during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 as a return of capital.

Deferred Financing and Offering Costs

Deferred financing
and offering costs consist of costs incurred to obtain financing, including lender fees and legal fees. Certain costs associated with our revolving line of credit are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the
effective interest method, over the term of the revolving line of credit. Costs associated with the issuance of our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are presented as discounts to the liquidation value of the mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock and are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the respective financings. Refer to Note 5  BorrowingsandNote 6  Mandatorily Redeemable
Preferred Stock for further discussion.

Related Party Fees

In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, we pay the Adviser fees as compensation for its services, consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee.
Additionally, we pay the Adviser a loan servicing fee as compensation for its services as servicer under the terms of our Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank), as administrative agent,
lead arranger and a lender (our Credit Facility). These fees are accrued at the end of the quarter when the services are performed and generally paid the following quarter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-18), which requires
that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We have assessed the impact of ASU 2016-18 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

In August 2016, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU
2016-15), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. We have assessed the impact of ASU 2016-15 and do not anticipate a material impact on our cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (ASU 2016-06), which clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent
call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related. ASU 2016-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and we adopted ASU 2016-06 effective October 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-06 did not have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial InstrumentsOverall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which
changes how entities measure certain equity investments and how entities present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. We are currently
assessing the impact of ASU 2016-01 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-01 is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for certain aspects of ASU 2016-01 relating to the
recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which amends or supersedes the scope and consolidation
guidance under existing GAAP. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2015-02 is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, and we adopted ASU 2015-02 effective April 1, 2016. In October 2016, the FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control (ASU 2016-17), which amends the
consolidation guidance in ASU 2015-02 regarding the treatment of indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control. ASU 2016-17 is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years, and we adopted ASU 2015-02 effective October 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which was amended in March 2016 by
FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (ASU 2016-08), in April 2016 by FASB Accounting Standards
Update 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing(ASU 2016-10), in May 2016 by FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients(ASU 2016-12), and in December 2016 by FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606(ASU 2016-20). ASU 2014-09, as amended,
supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will
expand disclosures about revenue. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim
periods within those years, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. We continue to assess the impact of ASU
2014-09, as amended, and expect to identify similar performance obligations as compared to existing guidance. As a result, we do not anticipate a material change in the timing of revenue recognition or a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from adopting this standard.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

Fair Value

In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of
each investment is determined to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants on the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on exit
price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. ASC 820 also establishes the following three-level hierarchy for fair value
measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of a financial instrument as of the measurement date.



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



| |  |  | Level2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active or inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the financial
instrument, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 inputs are in those markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or
instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the financial instrument and can include the Valuation Teams assumptions based upon the best available information.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a determination is made to classify our investments within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, such determination is based upon the significance of
the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, observable inputs (or, components that are actively quoted and
can be validated to external sources). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investments in funds measured
using net asset value as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2018, all of our investments were
valued using Level 3 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy, except for our investment in Funko, which was valued using Level 2 inputs and our investments in FedCap and Leeds, which were valued using net asset value as a practical
expedient. As of September 30, 2017, all of our investments were valued using Level 3 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy, except for our investments in FedCap and Leeds, which were valued using net asset value as a practical
expedient.

We transfer investments in and out of Level 1, 2, and 3 of the valuation hierarchy as of the beginning balance sheet date, based on
changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we transferred our investment in Funko from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of the
initial public offering of Funko, Inc. in November 2017 due to convertibility of our investment into shares of Funko, Inc. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, there were no investments transferred into or out of Levels 1, 2 or
3 of the valuation hierarchy.

##### Table of Contents

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

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements of Investments

The following tables provide the changes in fair value, broken out by security type, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 for all
investments for which the Adviser determines fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors.

Receivables from Portfolio Companies

Receivables from portfolio companies represent non-recurring costs incurred on behalf of such portfolio companies and
are included in other assets on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We generally maintain an allowance for uncollectible receivables from portfolio companies when the receivable balance becomes 90 days or more
past due or if it is determined, based upon managements judgment, that the portfolio company is unable to pay its obligations. We write-off accounts receivable when we have exhausted collection efforts
and have deemed the receivables uncollectible. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had gross receivables from portfolio companies of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible
receivables was $21 and $44 at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with the Adviser

We have been externally
managed by the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement since October 1, 2004 pursuant to which we pay the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. The Advisory Agreement originally included administrative
services; however, it was amended and restated on October 1, 2006. Simultaneously, we entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator (discussed further below) to provide those services. With the unanimous approval of our Board
of Directors, the Advisory Agreement was later amended in October 2015 to reduce the base management fee payable thereunder from 2.0% per annum to 1.75% per annum, effective July 1, 2015, with all other terms remaining unchanged. On
July 10, 2018, our Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of such party, unanimously approved the annual renewal of the Advisory Agreement through
August 31, 2019.

We also pay the Adviser a loan servicing fee for its role of servicer pursuant to our Credit Facility. The entire loan servicing
fee paid to the Adviser by Business Loan is non-contractually, unconditionally and irrevocably credited against the base management fee otherwise payable to the Adviser, since Business Loan is a consolidated
subsidiary of ours, and overall, the base management fee (including any loan servicing fee) cannot exceed 1.75% of total assets (as reduced by cash and cash equivalents pledged to creditors) during any given fiscal year pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement.

Two of our executive officers, David Gladstone (our chairman and chief executive officer) and Terry Lee Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief
operating officer) serve as directors and executive officers of the Adviser, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone. Robert Marcotte (our president) also serves as an executive managing director of the Adviser.

|(B) | Reflected, on a gross basis, as a line item, on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is payable
quarterly to the Adviser pursuant to our Advisory Agreement and is assessed at an annual rate of 1.75%, computed on the basis of the value of our average total assets at the end of the two most recently-completed quarters (inclusive of the current
quarter), which are total assets, including investments made with proceeds of borrowings, less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings and adjusted appropriately for any share issuances or repurchases during the period.

Additionally, pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Adviser makes available significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. The
Adviser may also provide other services to our portfolio companies under certain agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. Such services may include, but are not limited to: (i) assistance obtaining,
sourcing or structuring credit facilities, long term loans or additional equity from unaffiliated third parties; (ii) negotiating important contractual financial relationships; (iii) consulting services regarding restructuring of the
portfolio company and financial modeling as it relates to raising additional debt and equity capital from unaffiliated third parties; and (iv) primary role in interviewing, vetting and negotiating employment contracts with candidates in
connection with adding and retaining key portfolio company management team members. The Adviser non-contractually, unconditionally, and irrevocably credits 100% of these fees against the base management fee
that we would otherwise be required to pay to the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a small percentage of certain of such fees, totaling $18 and $42 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018,
respectively, and $11 and $57 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, was retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement, at cost, for tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser primarily for the valuation of
portfolio companies.

Our Board of Directors accepted a non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credit from
the Adviser to reduce the annual base management fee on syndicated loan participations to 0.5%, to the extent that proceeds resulting from borrowings were used to purchase such syndicated loan participations, for each of the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts: an income-based incentive fee and a capital gains incentive fee. The income-based incentive fee rewards the Adviser if
our quarterly net investment income (before giving effect to any incentive fee) exceeds 1.75% of our net assets (the hurdle rate). The income-based incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive
fee net investment income is generally payable quarterly to the Adviser and is computed as follows:



| |  | no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate (7.0% annualized);
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

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

The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains-based incentive fee
that will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20.0% of our net realized capital gains (as defined herein) as of the
end of the fiscal year. In determining the capital gains-based incentive fee payable to the Adviser, we calculate net realized capital gains at the end of each applicable year by subtracting the sum of our cumulative aggregate realized
capital losses and our entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences
between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since inception. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when
sold, is less than the original cost of such investment since inception. The entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any, equals the sum of the difference, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable
calculation date and the original cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable fiscal year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate
realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less the entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any. If this number is positive at the end of such fiscal year, then the capital gains-based
incentive fee for such year equals 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains-based incentive fees paid in respect of our portfolio in all prior years. No capital gains-based incentive fee has been recorded or paid since
our inception through June 30, 2018, as cumulative unrealized capital depreciation has exceeded cumulative realized capital gains net of cumulative realized capital losses.

In accordance with GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and
aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires us to record a capital gains-based incentive fee equal
to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains-based incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. GAAP requires that the capital gains-based incentive fee
accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains-based incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized. There can be no assurance that such
unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. No GAAP accrual for a capital gains-based incentive fee has been recorded from our inception through June 30, 2018.

Our Board of Directors accepted non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits from the Adviser to reduce the
income-based incentive fee to the extent net investment income did not 100.0% cover distributions to common stockholders for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and the nine months ended June 30, 2017. There was no incentive fee credit
during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Loan Servicing Fee

The Adviser also services the loans held by Business Loan (the borrower under the Credit Facility), in return for which the Adviser receives a 1.5% annual fee
payable monthly based on the aggregate outstanding balance of loans pledged under our Credit Facility. As discussed in the notes to the table above, we treat payment of the loan servicing fee pursuant to our line of credit as a pre-payment of the base management fee under the Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, these loan servicing fees are 100% non-contractually, unconditionally and irrevocably
credited back to us by the Adviser.

Transactions with the Administrator

We pay the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement for the portion of expenses the Administrator incurs while performing services for us. The
Administrators expenses are primarily rent and the salaries, benefits and expenses of the Administrators employees, including, but not limited to, our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief compliance officer, chief valuation
officer, and general counsel and secretary (who also serves as the Administrators president, general counsel and secretary) and their respective staffs. Two of our executive officers, David Gladstone (our chairman and chief executive officer)
and Terry Lee Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating officer) serve as members of the board of managers and executive officers of the Administrator, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone.

Our portion of the Administrators expenses are generally derived by multiplying the Administrators total expenses by the approximate percentage of
time during the current quarter the Administrators employees performed services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by the Administrator. These administrative fees are accrued at the end of the
quarter when the services are performed and recorded on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and generally paid the following quarter to the Administrator. On July 10, 2018, our Board of Directors, including a majority
of the directors who are not parties to the Administration Agreement or interested persons of such party, approved the annual renewal of the Administration Agreement through August 31, 2019.

Other Transactions

Gladstone Securities, LLC (Gladstone Securities), a privately-held broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and
insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer, has provided other services, such as investment banking and due diligence
services, to certain of our portfolio companies, for which Gladstone Securities receives a fee. Any such fees paid by portfolio companies to Gladstone Securities do not impact the fees we pay to the Adviser or the
non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits against the base management fee or incentive fee. Gladstone Securities received fees from portfolio companies totaling $0.2 million and
$0.8 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 9, 2018, we,
through Business Loan, entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Credit Facility with KeyBank, which increased the commitment amount from $170.0 million to $190.0 million, extended the revolving period end date by approximately two years to
January 15, 2021, decreased the marginal interest rate added to 30-day LIBOR from 3.25% to 2.85% per annum, and changed the unused commitment fee from 0.50% of the total unused commitment amount to 0.50%
when the average unused commitment amount for the reporting period is less than or equal to 50%, 0.75% when the average unused commitment amount for the reporting period is greater than 50% but less than or equal to 65%, and 1.00% when the average
unused commitment amount for the reporting period is greater than 65%. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by January 15, 2021, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before April 15, 2022 (fifteen months
after the revolving period end date). Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility may be expanded up to a total of $265.0 million through additional commitments of new or existing lenders. We incurred fees of approximately
$1.2 million in connection with this amendment, which are being amortized through our Credit Facilitys revolving period end date of January 15, 2021.

The following tables summarize noteworthy information related to our Credit Facility (at cost):

##### Table of Contents

Our Credit Facility also requires that any interest or principal payments on pledged loans be remitted directly
by the borrower into a lockbox account with KeyBank. KeyBank is also the trustee of the account and generally remits the collected funds to us once a month. Amounts collected in the lockbox account with KeyBank are presented as Due from
administrative agent on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require Business Loan to maintain its status as a separate legal entity, prohibit certain significant corporate
transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions), and restrict material changes to our credit and collection policies without the lenders consent. Our Credit Facility also generally limits distributions to our
stockholders on a fiscal year basis to the sum of our net investment income, net capital gains and amounts elected to have been paid during the prior year in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. Business Loan is also subject to certain
limitations on the type of loan investments it can apply as collateral towards the borrowing base to receive additional borrowing availability under our Credit Facility, including restrictions on geographic concentrations, sector concentrations,
loan size, payment frequency and status, average life and lien property. Our Credit Facility further requires Business Loan to comply with other financial and operational covenants, which obligate Business Loan to, among other things, maintain
certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of 25 obligors required in the borrowing base.

Additionally, we are
subject to a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in our Credit Facility to include our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock) of $205.0 million plus 50.0% of all equity and subordinated debt
raised after May 1, 2015 less 50% of any equity and subordinated debt retired or redeemed after May 1, 2015, which equates to $228.7 million as of June 30, 2018, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities
representing indebtedness of at least 200%, in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code.

As of June 30, 2018, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $293.4 million, asset coverage on our
senior securities representing indebtedness of 350.1%, calculated in compliance with the requirements of Section 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, and an active status as a BDC and RIC. In addition, we had 33 obligors in our Credit
Facilitys borrowing base as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

Fair Value

We elected to apply the fair value option of
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically for the Credit Facility, which was consistent with our application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of our Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis
which includes a DCF calculation and the assumptions that the Valuation Team believes market participants would use, including, but not limited to, the estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate
spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2018, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of our Credit Facility was 30-day LIBOR, plus 2.85% per annum, plus a
0.50% unused fee. As of September 30, 2017, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of our Credit Facility was 30-day LIBOR, plus 3.15% per annum, plus a 0.50% unused fee. Generally, an
increase or decrease in the discount rate used in the DCF calculation may result in a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, our Credit
Facility was valued using Level 3 inputs and any changes in its fair value are recorded in net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of other on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In September 2017, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.1 million shares of 6.00% Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $51.8 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us,
were approximately $49.8 million. We incurred approximately $1.9 million in total underwriting discounts and offering costs related to the issuance of the Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, which have been recorded as discounts to the
liquidation value on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized from issuance through September 30, 2024, the mandatory redemption date. The offering proceeds plus borrowings under our
Credit Facility were used to voluntarily redeem all 2.4 million outstanding shares of our then existing 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock). In connection with the
voluntary redemption of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, which is primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance
costs at the time of redemption.

The shares of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock are traded under the ticker symbol GLADN on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market. Our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.00% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately
$3.1 million per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock on September 30, 2024 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and
distributions per share accumulated to (but excluding) the date of redemption (the Redemption Price). We may additionally be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock early, at the
Redemption Price, in the event of the following: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control, or (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage of at least 200% on our senior securities that are
stock (which is currently only our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock) and the failure remains for a period of 30 days following the filing date of our next SEC quarterly or annual report. The asset coverage on our senior securities that
are stock as of June 30, 2018 was 242.9%, calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act.

##### Table of Contents

We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of the Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock at our option at the
Redemption Price at any time after September 30, 2019. If we fail to redeem our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption date of September 30, 2024, or in any other circumstance in which we are required to
mandatorily redeem our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, then the fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0% for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2018, we have not redeemed, nor have we been required to redeem, any shares of our
outstanding Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock.

In May 2014, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.4 million shares of Series 2021 Term
Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $61.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were approximately
$58.5 million, a portion of which was used to voluntarily redeem all 1.5 million outstanding shares of our then existing 7.125% Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and the remainder was used to repay a portion of
outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We incurred $2.5 million in total offering costs related to the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which were recorded as discounts to the liquidation value on our accompanyingConsolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and were amortized over the redemption period ending June 30, 2021. In September 2017, when we voluntarily redeemed all of our outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, the remaining
unamortized costs were fully written off as part of the realized loss discussed above.

We paid the following monthly distributions on our Series 2024
Term Preferred Stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2018:

The federal income tax characteristics of dividends paid to our preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to
the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and is reported after the end of the calendar year based on tax information for the full fiscal year. Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be
representative of the actual tax characterization of dividends for the full year. Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date. The tax characterization of dividends paid to our preferred stockholders during the
calendar years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 100% from ordinary income.

In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet and we have recorded our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as a liability at cost, as of June 30, 2018 and
September 30, 2017. The related dividend payments to our mandatorily redeemable preferred stockholders are treated as dividend expense on our statement of operations as of the ex-dividend date. Aggregate
preferred stockholder dividends declared and paid on our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Aggregate preferred stockholder dividends
declared and paid on our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

For disclosure purposes, the fair value, based on the last quoted closing price, for our Series 2024 Term
Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was approximately $52.8 million and $52.7 million, respectively. We consider our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock to be a Level 1 liability within the ASC 820

NOTE 7. REGISTRATION STATEMENT, COMMON EQUITY OFFERINGS AND SHARE REPURCHASES

We filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to our current universal shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (our
Registration Statement) (File No. 333-208637) with the SEC on December 19, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 1, 2018. Our Registration Statement permits us to
issue, through one or more transactions, up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt
securities. As of June 30, 2018, we had the ability to issue up to $210.7 million in securities under the Registration Statement.

Common
Stock Offerings

Pursuant to our Registration Statement, in October 2016, we completed a public offering of 2.0 million shares of our common stock
at a public offering price of $7.98 per share, which was below our then current NAV per share. In November 2016, the underwriters partially exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 173,444 shares of our common stock. Gross
proceeds totaled $17.3 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $16.4 million.

In February 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as
at-the-market agreements or the Sales Agreements) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., each a Sales
Agent, under which we had the ability to issue and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, up to an aggregate offering price of $50.0 million shares of our common stock. In May 2017, we terminated the Sales Agreement with
KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and amended the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. to reference our current registration statement. All other material terms of the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. remained
unchanged. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 1,499,748 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., at a weighted-average price of $9.26 per share and raised $13.9 million of
gross proceeds. Net proceeds, after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $13.7 million. As of June 30, 2018, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to $28.6 million of common stock under
the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 362,600 shares at a weighted-average price of $9.89 per share and raised $3.6 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds, after
deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $3.5 million.

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

To qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we must generally distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our
taxable ordinary income plus the excess of our net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses (Investment Company Taxable Income). The amount to be paid out as distributions to our stockholders is determined by our Board
of Directors quarterly and is based on managements estimate of Investment Company Taxable Income. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares three monthly distributions to common stockholders each quarter.

The federal income tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on the IRS Form 1099 at the end of each calendar year. For
calendar years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of distributions to common stockholders during these periods were deemed to be paid from ordinary income for 1099 stockholder reporting purposes.

Aggregate distributions declared and paid to our common stockholders were approximately $16.9 million and
$15.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were declared based on estimates of Investment Company Taxable Income for the respective fiscal years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, our
current and accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock dividends), exceeded common stock distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected
to treat $0.3 million of the first common distributions paid in fiscal year 2018 as having been paid in the respective prior year.

For the nine
months ended June 30, 2018 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, we recorded the following adjustments for book-tax differences to reflect tax character.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to certain legal
proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business. We are required to establish reserves for litigation matters where those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. When loss contingencies are not both
probable and estimable, we do not establish reserves. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe that loss contingencies, if any, arising from pending investigations, litigation or regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, based on our current knowledge, we do not believe such loss contingencies are both probable and estimable and therefore, as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we
have not established reserves for such loss contingencies.

Escrow Holdbacks

From time to time, we will enter into arrangements as it relates to exits of certain investments whereby specific amounts of the proceeds are held in escrow in
order to be used to satisfy potential obligations as stipulated in the sales agreements. We record escrow amounts in restricted cash and cash equivalents on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We establish a
reserve against the escrow amounts if we determine that it is probable and estimable that a portion of the escrow amounts will not be ultimately received at the end of the escrow period. There were no aggregate reserves recorded against the escrow
amounts as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

Financial Commitments and Obligations

We have lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, and an uncalled capital commitment with certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn.
Since these commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We estimate the fair value of the combined unused lines of credit, the
unused delayed draw term loans and the uncalled capital commitment as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 to be immaterial.

The following
table summarizes the amounts of our unused lines of credit, delayed draw term loans and uncalled capital commitment, at cost, as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, which are not reflected as liabilities in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

OVERVIEW

General

We were incorporated under the Maryland
General Corporation Law on May 30, 2001. We operate as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and have elected to be
treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. To continue to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and obtain favorable RIC tax treatment, we must
meet certain requirements, including certain minimum distribution requirements.

We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity
securities of established private businesses operating in the U.S. Our investment objectives are to: (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established businesses that we believe will provide stable earnings and
cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders that grow over time; and (2) provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our
assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. To achieve our investment objectives, our investment strategy is to invest in
several categories of debt and equity securities, with each investment generally ranging from $8 million to $30 million, although investment size may vary, depending upon our total assets or available capital at the time of investment. We
expect that our investment portfolio over time will consist of approximately 90.0% debt investments and 10.0% equity investments, at cost. As of June 30, 2018, our investment portfolio was made up of approximately 90.7% debt investments and
9.3% equity investments, at cost.

We focus on investing in lower middle market companies (which we generally define as companies with annual earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $3 million to $15 million) in the U.S. that meet certain criteria, including, but not limited to, the following: the sustainability of the business free cash flow and its ability to
grow it over time, adequate assets for loan collateral, experienced management teams with a significant ownership interest in the borrower, reasonable capitalization of the borrower, including an ample equity contribution or cushion based on
prevailing enterprise valuation multiples and, to a lesser extent, the potential

to realize appreciation and gain liquidity in our equity position, if any. We lend to borrowers that need funds for growth capital or to finance acquisitions or recapitalize or refinance their
existing debt facilities. We seek to avoid investing in high-risk, early-stage enterprises. Our targeted portfolio companies are generally considered too small for the larger capital marketplace. We invest by ourselves or jointly with other funds
and/or management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity and have opportunistically made several co-investments with our affiliate Gladstone Investment Corporation, a BDC also managed by our
Adviser, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC. We believe this ability to co-invest will continue to enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies. If we are
participating in an investment with one or more co-investors, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone.

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

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

Business

Portfolio and Investment Activity

In general, our
investments in debt securities have a term of no more than seven years, accrue interest at variable rates (generally based on the one-month LIBOR) and, to a lesser extent, at fixed rates. We seek debt
instruments that pay interest monthly or, at a minimum, quarterly, may have a success fee or deferred interest provision and are primarily interest only, with all principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity. Generally, success fees
accrue at a set rate and are contractually due upon a change of control of a portfolio company, typically from an exit or sale. Some debt securities have deferred interest whereby some portion of the interest payment is added to the principal
balance so that the interest is paid, together with the principal, at maturity. This form of deferred interest is often called PIK interest.

Typically,
our equity investments consist of common stock, preferred stock, limited liability company interests, or warrants to purchase the foregoing. Often, these equity investments occur in connection with our original investment, recapitalizing a business,
or refinancing existing debt.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we invested $67.4 million in nine new portfolio companies and
extended $29.1 million of investments to existing portfolio companies. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we exited six portfolio companies through sales and early payoffs. We received a total of $58.4 million in
combined net proceeds and principal repayments from the aforementioned portfolio company exits as well as existing portfolio companies during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. This activity resulted in a net increase in our overall portfolio
by three portfolio companies to 50 and a net increase of $42.2 million in our portfolio at cost since September 30, 2017. From our initial public offering in August 2001 through June 30, 2018, we have made 490 different loans to, or
investments in, 226 companies for a total of approximately $1.8 billion, before giving effect to principal repayments on investments and divestitures.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the following significant transactions occurred:

Capital Raising

We have been able to meet our
capital needs through extensions of and increases to the Credit Facility and by accessing the capital markets in the form of public equity offerings of common and preferred stock. We have successfully extended the Credit Facilitys revolving
period multiple times, most recently to January 2021, and currently have a total commitment amount of $190.0 million. Additionally, we issued 2.1 million shares of our 6.00% Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
(Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock) at a public offering price of $25 per share, for gross proceeds of $51.8 million in September 2017, inclusive of the overallotment, and approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock for
gross proceeds of $17.3 million in October 2016, inclusive of the November 2016 overallotment. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 1,499,748 shares of our common stock under our
at-the-market program at a weighted-average price of $9.26 per share and raised $13.9 million of gross proceeds. Refer to Liquidity and Capital
Resources  Equity  Common Stock and Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Term Preferred Stock for further discussion of our common stock and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and

to access the capital markets historically and in recent years, we believe uncertain market conditions could affect the trading price of our capital stock and thus may inhibit our ability to finance new investments through the issuance of equity.
When our common stock trades below NAV per common share, as it has often done in previous years, our ability to issue equity is constrained by provisions of the 1940 Act, which generally prohibits the issuance and sale of our common stock below NAV
per common share without first obtaining approval from our stockholders and our independent directors, other than through sales to our then-existing stockholders pursuant to a rights offering. We did not request that our stockholders approve the
Companys ability to issue shares of common stock at a price below NAV per share at our annual meeting of stockholders held on February 8, 2018. Should we decide to issue shares of common stock at a price below NAV per share in the future,
we will seek the requisite approval of our stockholders at such time.

On July 30, 2018, the closing market price of our common stock was $9.34, a
5.4% premium to our June 30, 2018 NAV per share of $8.86.

Regulatory Compliance

Our ability to seek external debt financing, to the extent that it is available under current market conditions, is further subject to the asset coverage
limitations of the 1940 Act, which require us to have an asset coverage (as defined in Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act) of at least 200% (currently) or 150% (effective April 10, 2019) on our senior securities representing
indebtedness and our senior securities that are stock.

On April 10, 2018, our Board of Directors, including a required
majority (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) thereof, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act.
As a result, the Companys asset coverage requirements for senior securities will be changed from 200% to 150%, effective one year after the date of the Board of Directors approval; or April 10, 2019. Under the current 200% asset
coverage standard, we may borrow debt or issue senior securities in the amount of $1.00 for every $1.00 of equity in the Company. Starting from April 10, 2019, under the 150% asset coverage standard, we may borrow debt or issue senior
securities in the amount of $2.00 for every $1.00 of equity in the Company. Notwithstanding the modified asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act described above, we are separately subject to a minimum asset coverage requirement of 200% with
respect to certain provisions of our Credit Facility and our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock.

As of June 30, 2018, our asset coverage on our
senior securities representing indebtedness was 350.1% and our asset coverage on our senior securities that are stock was 242.9%.

Investment Income

Interest income increased by 18.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a
higher weighted average principal balance and an increase in the weighted average yield on our interest bearing portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period. The weighted average principal balance of
our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $389.1 million, compared to $333.2 million for the prior year period, an increase of 16.8%. The weighted average yield on our interest-bearing
investments is based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments, which increased to 11.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 11.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, inclusive of any
allowances on interest receivables made during those periods.

Other income increased by $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30,
2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to $0.4 million in prepayment fees and $0.4 million in success fees recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2018, whereas no such amounts were recognized in the prior
year period.

As of June 30, 2018, one portfolio company, Sunshine Media Holdings (Sunshine), was on
non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $22.6 million, or 5.5% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2017, two portfolio companies,
Sunshine and Alloy Die Casting Co. (ADC), were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $27.9 million, or 7.6% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our
portfolio.

Expenses

Expenses, net of any non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits to fees from the Adviser,
increased $2.1 million, or 50.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in our net base management and incentive fees to the Adviser
and a $0.7 million increase in interest expense on borrowings, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in dividend expense on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.

Interest expense increased by 72.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, due to an increase in the weighted
average balance outstanding on our Credit Facility. The weighted average balance outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $121.7 million, as compared to $72.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 67.6%.
The effective interest rate on our Credit Facility, including unused commitment fees incurred but excluding the impact of deferred financing costs, was 5.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 5.0% during the prior year
period. The increase in the effective interest rate was driven by an increase in LIBOR as compared to the prior year period, offset by a decrease in unused commitment fees paid in the current year period and a decrease in the marginal interest rate
on our Credit Facility effective March 9, 2018.

The net base management fee earned by the Adviser increased by $0.4 million, or 37.5%, during
the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, resulting from an increase in average total assets subject to the base management fee and a decrease in credits from the Adviser year over year.

The income-based incentive fee increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, due to higher pre-incentive fee net investment income, partially offset by an increase in net assets, which drives the hurdle, over the respective periods. Our Board of Directors accepted a
non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credit from the Adviser of $0.9 million to reduce the income-based incentive fee to the extent net investment income did not cover 100.0% of our
distributions to common stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2017. There was no incentive fee credit during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The primary driver of net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was improvement in the
financial and operational performance of certain portfolio companies, most notably Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. (Francis) and Edge Adhesives Holdings, Inc. (Edge), partially offset by the decline in the performance of
certain of our other portfolio companies.

The primary driver of net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was an improvement in the
performance of certain portfolio companies and an increase in comparable multiples used to estimate the fair value of our investments, which more than offset the decline in performance of certain of our other portfolio companies.

Net Unrealized (Appreciation) Depreciation of Other

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $0.2 million of net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility. There were no such
amounts recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Investment Income

Interest income increased by
23.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a higher weighted average principal balance and an increase in the weighted average yield on our interest-bearing portfolio for the nine
months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period. The weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $376.3 million, compared to
$312.5 million for the prior year period, an increase of 20.4%. The weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investment portfolio is based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments and increased to 11.8% for the
nine months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 11.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, inclusive of any allowances on interest receivables made during that period.

Other income decreased by 21.3% during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of a
$1.1 million decrease in success fees recognized in the current nine month period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, other income consisted primarily of prepayment fees received and success fees recognized. For the nine months ended
June 30, 2017, other income consisted primarily of success fees recognized.

Expenses

Expenses, net of any non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits to fees from the Adviser,
increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 by 37.6%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in the net base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser and a
$2.3 million increase in interest expense on borrowings, partially offset by a decline in dividend expense on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of $0.8 million.

Interest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 112.8%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily
due to increased borrowings outstanding throughout the period on our Credit Facility. The weighted average balance outstanding under our Credit Facility during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, was approximately $116.0 million, as
compared to $51.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 125.7%. The effective interest rate on our Credit Facility, including unused commitment fees incurred but excluding the impact of deferred financing costs, was 5.0% during the
nine months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 5.3% during the prior year period. The decrease in effective interest rate was driven by the decrease in unused commitment fees paid in the current year period and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in
the marginal interest rate on our Credit Facility effective March 9, 2018, slightly offset by an increase in LIBOR.

The net base management fee
earned by the Adviser increased by $1.2 million, or 44.8%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily resulting from an increase in average total assets subject to the base management fee
year over year.

The income-based incentive fee increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, due to
higher pre-incentive fee net investment income, partially offset by an increase in net assets, which drives the hurdle, over the respective periods. Our Board of Directors accepted non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits totaling $0.9 million from the Adviser to reduce the income-based incentive fee to the extent that net investment income did not cover 100.0% of the
distributions to common stockholders during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The credits granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, totaled $2.0 million.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Net
Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net realized gain on investments of $1.1 million,
which resulted primarily from the sale of our investment in Flight Fit N Fun LLC in October 2017 for a $0.6 million realized gain.

For the nine
months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net realized loss on investments of $3.4 million, which resulted primarily from the sale of substantially all the assets of RBC Acquisition Corp. for a $2.3 million realized loss and the write-off of $5.0 million of our investment in Sunshine. These items were partially offset by the sale of Behrens Manufacturing, LLC for a $2.5 million realized gain and a $1.2 million realized gain
related to an additional earn-out from Funko, LLC, which was exited in the prior year.

The largest driver of our net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was derived from a decline
in financial and operation performance of certain portfolio companies and, to a lesser extent, decreases in comparable multiples used in valuations, most notably Francis of $5.6 million and ADC of $1.9 million. This depreciation was
largely offset by unrealized appreciation resulting from an increase in performance on certain portfolio companies, most notably WadeCo Specialties, Inc. of $1.9 million and SourceHOV LLC of $1.8 million and the reversal of previously
recorded depreciation on our investment in Sunshine upon partial write-off.

Net Unrealized Appreciation of
Other

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $0.1 million of net unrealized appreciation on our Credit Facility recorded at
fair value. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $0.1 million of net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility recorded at fair value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating
activities are primarily generated from the interest payments on debt securities that we receive from our portfolio companies, as well as net proceeds received through repayments or sales of our investments. We utilize this cash primarily to fund
new investments, make interest payments on our Credit Facility, make distributions to our stockholders, pay management and administrative fees to the Adviser and Administrator, and for other operating expenses. Net cash used in operating activities
for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $22.0 million as compared to $14.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017. The change was primarily due to a decrease in principal repayments and net proceeds from sale of
investments as well as an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments period over period. Repayments and net proceeds from sales were $58.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $71.1 million during the
nine months ended June 30, 2017. Net unrealized appreciation of investments was $10.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net unrealized depreciation of $0.7 million during the nine months ended
June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, we had loans to, syndicated participations in or equity investments in 50 companies, with an aggregate cost
basis of approximately $453.7 million. As of June 30, 2017, we had loans to, syndicated participations in or equity investments in 47 companies, with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $405.9 million.

Distributions and Dividends to Stockholders

Common Stock Distributions

To qualify to be taxed
as a RIC and thus avoid corporate level federal income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required to distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income plus the excess of our net
short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses (Investment Company Taxable Income). Additionally, our Credit Facility has a covenant that generally restricts the amount of distributions to stockholders that we can pay out to
be no greater than our aggregate net investment income, net capital gains and amounts elected to have been paid during the prior year in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. In accordance with these requirements, we paid monthly cash
distributions of $0.07 per common share for each month during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, which totaled an aggregate of $16.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. In July 2018, our Board of Directors declared a
monthly distribution of $0.07 per common share for each of July, August, and September 2018. Our Board of Directors declared these distributions to our stockholders based on our estimates of our Investment Company Taxable Income for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2018.

For the year ended September 30, 2017, our current and accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock dividends) exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $0.3 million of the first common distributions paid in fiscal year 2018 as
having been paid in the respective prior year.

The characterization of the common stockholder distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2018 will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon our investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full fiscal year. Such a
characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual full fiscal year characterization.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Our Board of Directors declared and we paid a combined dividend for the pro-rated period from and
including the issuance date, September 27, 2017, to and including September 30, 2017 and the full month of October 2017, which totaled $0.141667 per share, to the holders of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock and monthly cash dividends
of $0.125 per share to holders of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock for each of the eight months from November 2017 through June 2018. In accordance with GAAP, we treat these monthly dividends as an operating expense. For federal income tax
purposes, the dividends paid by us to preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and is reported after the end of the calendar year based on tax information for the
full fiscal year. Such a characterization made on an interim, quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax characterization for the full year.

Equity

Registration Statement

We filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to our current universal shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (our
Registration Statement) (File No. 333-208637) with the SEC on December 19, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 1, 2018. Our Registration Statement permits us to
issue, through one or more transactions, up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt
securities. As of June 30, 2018, we had the ability to issue up to $210.7 million in securities under the Registration Statement.

Common
Stock

In February 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as at-the-market agreements or the Sales Agreements) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., each a Sales Agent, under which we had the ability
to issue and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, up to an aggregate offering price of $50.0 million shares of our common stock. In May 2017, we terminated the Sales Agreement with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and amended the
Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. to reference our current registration statement. All other material terms of the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. remained unchanged. During the nine months ended
June 30, 2018, we sold 1,499,748 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., at a weighted-average price of $9.26 per share and raised $13.9 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds,
after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $13.7 million. As of June 30, 2018, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to $28.6 million of common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor
Fitzgerald & Co. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 362,600 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., at a weighted-average price of $9.89 per share and raised
$3.6 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds, after deducting commissions and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $3.5 million.

Pursuant to our Registration Statement, in October 2016, we completed a public offering of 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a public offering
price of $7.98 per share, which was below our then current NAV per share. In November 2016, the underwriters partially exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 173,444 shares of our common stock. Gross proceeds totaled
$17.3 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were approximately $16.4 million. The net proceeds of this offering were used to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility.

We anticipate issuing equity securities to obtain additional capital in the future. However, we cannot determine
the timing or terms of any future equity issuances or whether we will be able to issue equity on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that our common stock trades at a market price below our NAV per share, we will generally be precluded
from raising equity capital through public offerings of our common stock, other than pursuant to stockholder and independent director approval or a rights offering to existing common stockholders. We did not request that our stockholders approve the
Companys ability to issue shares of common stock at a price below NAV at our annual meeting of stockholders held on February 8, 2018. Should we decide to issue shares of common stock at a price below NAV in the future, we will seek the
requisite approval of our stockholders at such time.

On July 30, 2018, the closing market price of our common stock was $9.34, a 5.4% premium to our
June 30, 2018 NAV per share of $8.86.

Term Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Registration Statement, in September 2017, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.1 million shares of our Series 2024 Term
Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $51.8 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were approximately $49.8 million.
We incurred approximately $1.9 million in total underwriting discounts and offering costs related to the issuance of the Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, which have been recorded as discounts to the liquidation value on our accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the period from issuance through September 30, 2024, the mandatory redemption date. The offering proceeds plus borrowings under our Credit Facility were used
to voluntarily redeem all 2.4 million outstanding shares of our then existing 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, we incurred a
loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, which has been reflected in Realized loss on other in our accompanyingConsolidated Statement of Operations and which is primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance costs at
the time of redemption.

The shares of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock are traded under the ticker symbol GLADN on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market. Our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend equal to 6.00% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $3.1 million
per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock on September 30, 2024 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions per share
accumulated to (but excluding) the date of redemption (the Redemption Price). We may additionally be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock early, at the Redemption Price, in the
event of the following: (1) upon the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a change in control, or (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage of at least 200% on our senior securities that are stock (which is
currently only our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock) and the failure remains for a period of 30 days following the filing date of our next SEC quarterly or annual report. The asset coverage on our senior securities that are stock as of
June 30, 2018 was 242.9%, calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act.

We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of the
Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock at our option at the Redemption Price at any time after September 30, 2019. If we fail to redeem our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption required on September 30, 2024, or
in any other circumstance in which we are required to mandatorily redeem our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock, then the fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0% for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2018, we have not redeemed,
nor have we been required to redeem, any shares of our outstanding Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 9, 2018, we, through Business Loan, entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Credit Facility with KeyBank, which increased the commitment amount
from $170.0 million to $190.0 million, extended the revolving period end date by approximately 2 years to January 15, 2021, decreased the marginal interest rate added to 30-day LIBOR from 3.25%
to 2.85% per annum, and changed the unused commitment fee from 0.50% of the total unused commitment amount to 0.50% when the average unused commitment amount for the reporting period is less than or equal to 50%, 0.75% when the average unused
commitment amount for the reporting period is greater than 50% but less than or equal to 65%, and 1.00% when the average unused commitment amount for the reporting period is greater than 65%. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by
January 15, 2021, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before April 15, 2022 (fifteen months after the revolving period end date). Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility may be expanded up to a
total of $265.0 million through additional commitments of new or existing lenders. We incurred fees of approximately $1.2 million in connection with this amendment, which are being amortized through our Credit Facilitys revolving
period end date of January 15, 2021.

Interest is payable monthly during the term of our Credit Facility. Available borrowings are subject to various
constraints imposed under our Credit Facility, based on the aggregate loan balance pledged by Business Loan, which varies as loans are added and repaid, regardless of whether such repayments are prepayments or made as contractually required. Our
Credit Facility also requires that any interest or principal payments on pledged loans be remitted directly by the borrower into a lockbox account with KeyBank and with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as custodian. KeyBank, which
also serves as the trustee of the account, generally remits the collected funds to us once a month.

##### Table of Contents

Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require Business Loan to maintain its status as a separate legal
entity, prohibit certain significant corporate transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions), and restrict material changes to our credit and collection policies without the lenders consents. Our Credit Facility
generally limits distributions to our stockholders on a fiscal year basis to the sum of our net investment income, net capital gains and amounts elected to have been paid during the prior year in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code.
Business Loan is also subject to certain limitations on the type of loan investments it can apply as collateral towards the borrowing base to receive additional borrowing availability under our Credit Facility, including restrictions on geographic
concentrations, sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life, portfolio company leverage and lien property. Our Credit Facility further requires Business Loan to comply with other financial and operational covenants,
which obligate Business Loan to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset and interest coverage and a minimum number of 25 obligors required in the borrowing base.

Additionally, we are subject to a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain (i) a minimum net worth (defined in our Credit Facility to include
our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock) of $205.0 million plus 50% of all equity and subordinated debt raised after May 1, 2015 less 50% of any equity and subordinated debt retired or redeemed after May 1, 2015, which equates to
$228.7 million as of June 30, 2018, (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200%, in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act and (iii) our status as
a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code.

As of June 30, 2018, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had
a net worth of $293.4 million, asset coverage on our senior securities representing indebtedness of 350.1% and an active status as a BDC and RIC. In addition, we had 33 obligors in our Credit Facilitys borrowing base as of
June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants. Refer to Note 5Borrowings of the notes to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statementsincluded elsewhere in
this quarterly report for additional information regarding our Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

We generally recognize success fee income when the payment has been received. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017,
we had off-balance sheet success fee receivables on our accruing debt investments of $6.7 million and $4.6 million (or approximately $0.24 per common share and $0.18 per common share), respectively,
that would be owed to us, generally upon a change of control of the portfolio companies. Consistent with GAAP, we generally have not recognized our success fee receivables and related income in our Consolidated Financial Statements until
earned. Due to the contingent nature of our success fees, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect all of these success fees or know the timing of such collections.

Contractual Obligations

We have lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, and an uncalled capital commitment with certain of our portfolio companies that have not been fully drawn.
Since these commitments have expiration dates and we expect many will never be fully drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We estimate the fair value of the combined unused lines of credit, the
unused delayed draw term loans and the uncalled capital commitment as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 to be immaterial.

The following
table shows our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2018, at cost:

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of
financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified our investment
valuation policy (which has been approved by our Board of Directors) as our most critical accounting policy, which is described in Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Additionally, refer to Note 3Investments in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional
information regarding fair value measurements and our application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. We have also identified our revenue
recognition policy as a critical accounting policy, which is described in Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report.

Investment Valuation

Credit
Monitoring and Risk Rating

The Adviser monitors a wide variety of key credit statistics that provide information regarding our portfolio companies to
help us assess credit quality and portfolio performance and, in some instances, used as inputs in our valuation techniques. Generally, we, through the Adviser, participate in periodic board meetings of our portfolio companies in which we hold board
seats and also require them to provide annual audited and monthly unaudited financial statements. Using these statements or comparable information and board discussions, the Adviser calculates and evaluates certain credit statistics.

The Adviser risk rates all of our investments in debt securities. The Adviser does not risk rate our equity securities. For syndicated loans that have been
rated by an SEC registered Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), the Adviser generally uses the average of two corporate level NRSROs risk ratings for such security. For all other debt securities, the
Adviser uses a proprietary risk rating system. While the Adviser seeks to mirror the NRSRO systems, we cannot provide any assurance that the Advisers risk rating system will provide the same risk rating as an NRSRO would for these securities.
The Advisers risk rating system is used to estimate the probability of default on debt securities and the expected loss if there is a default. The Advisers risk rating system uses a scale of 0 to >10, with >10 being the lowest
probability of default. It is the Advisers understanding that most debt securities of medium-sized companies do not exceed the grade of BBB on an NRSRO scale, so there would be no debt securities in the
middle market that would meet the definition of AAA, AA or A. Therefore, the Advisers scale begins with the designation >10 as the best risk rating which may be equivalent to a BBB from an NRSRO; however, no assurance can be given that a
>10 on the Advisers scale is equal to a BBB or Baa2 on an NRSRO scale. The Advisers risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities we hold.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk includes risks that arise from
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including
those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by us; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.

The primary risk we believe we are exposed to is interest rate risk. Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon
the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net
investment income. We use a combination of debt and equity capital to finance our investing activities. We may use interest rate risk management techniques from time to time to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may
include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

All of our variable-rate debt investments have rates generally
associated with either the current LIBOR or prime rate. As of June 30, 2018, our portfolio of debt investments on a principal basis consisted of the following:



|               |  |  |       |  
|-------------- |  |  | ----- | -
|Variable rates |  |  | 90.0  | %
|Fixed rates    |  |  | 10.0  |  
|               |  |  |       |  
|Total:         |  |  | 100.0 | %
|               |  |  |       |  

There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures for the nine months ended
June 30, 2018 from that disclosed in our Annual Report.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2018 (the end of the period covered by this report), our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However, in
evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

b) Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls for the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
|------- | ------------------

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigation, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters, if they arise, would materially affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, resolution of these matters will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Neither we, nor any of our
subsidiaries are currently subject to any material legal proceeding, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding pending or threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries.



|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS.
|-------- | -------------

Our business is subject to certain risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the
trading price of our securities. For a discussion of these risks, please refer to risk factors below and to the section captioned Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report. The risks described herein and in our Annual
Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Recently-enacted legislation allows us to incur additional leverage under the 1940 Act, distinct from certain of our obligations under our Credit
Facility and our Term Preferred Stock.

Historically, as a BDC, under the 1940 Act, we are generally required to maintain asset coverage of 200%
for senior securities representing indebtedness (i.e., debt) or stock (i.e., preferred stock). On March 23, 2018, President Trump signed into legislation the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, also known as the omnibus spending
package. Included in Title VIII therein is the SBCAA that includes certain regulations under the federal securities laws impacting BDCs. Among other items, the SBCAA allows a BDC to increase the amount of debt it may incur by modifying the
asset coverage percentage from 200% to 150% (subject to specific approval and disclosure requirements).

On April 10, 2018, our Board of Directors,
including a required majority (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) thereof, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCAA. As a
result, the Companys asset coverage requirements for senior securities will be changed from 200% to 150%, effective one year after the date of the Board of Directors approval; or on April 10, 2019. Under the current 200% asset
coverage standard, we may borrow debt or issue senior securities in the amount of $1.00 for every $1.00 of equity in the Company. Starting from April 10, 2019, under the 150% asset coverage standard, we may borrow debt or issue senior
securities in the amount of $2.00 for every $1.00 of equity in the Company. This reduction in the asset coverage ratio will allow us to double the amount of debt that we may incur and, therefore, your risk of an investment in us may increase. In
addition, our management fee is based on our average gross assets, which include investments made with proceeds of borrowings, and, as a result, if we were to incur additional leverage, management fees paid to the Adviser would increase.

Notwithstanding the modified asset coverage leverage ratio under the 1940 Act described above, we remain subject to a minimum asset coverage requirement of
200% with respect to certain provisions of our Credit Facility and our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock. If we drop below the 200% minimum asset coverage requirement, we may under certain circumstances be required to repay all outstanding
indebtedness under our Credit Facility and redeem our Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock. In addition, in the event we fall below the 200% minimum asset coverage requirement, we may need to renegotiate our Credit Facility and issue additional series
of term preferred stock with a lower asset coverage requirement. Such events, if they were to occur, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The recently enacted legislation informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other legislative, regulatory and administrative developments may
adversely affect the Company or its stockholders.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law P.L.
115-97, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act). The Tax Act makes major changes to the Code, including a number of provisions of the Code that affect the taxation of RICs and
their stockholders. Certain provisions of the Tax Act that may impact us and our stockholders include:



| |  |  | temporarily reducing individual U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income; the highest individual U.S.
federal income tax rate will be reduced from 39.6% to 37% (through taxable years ending in 2025);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reducing the maximum corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | permitting a deduction for certain pass-through business income, which generally will allow individuals, trusts,
and estates to deduct up to 20% of such amounts, resulting in an effective maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 29.6% on such dividends (through taxable years ending in 2025);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of taxable income (prior to the application of the
dividends paid deduction);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | amending the limitation on the deduction of net interest expense for all businesses, other than certain electing
businesses; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

The individual and collective impact of these provisions and other provisions of the Tax Act on the Company and its stockholders remains uncertain, and may
not become evident for some period of time. In addition, other legislative, regulatory or administrative changes may be enacted or promulgated, either prospectively or with retroactive effect, and may adversely affect the Company or its
stockholders. The Companys stockholders should consult their individual tax advisors regarding the implications of the Tax Act and other potential legislative, regulatory or administrative changes on their investment in the Companys
securities.
