|(A) | Certain of the securities listed in this schedule are issued by affiliate(s) of the indicated portfolio company. The majority of the securities listed, totaling $292.3 million at fair value, are pledged as collateral to
our Credit Facility, as described further in Note 5Borrowings.Additionally, two of our investments (FedCap Partners, LLC and Leeds Novamark Capital I, L.P.) are considered non-qualifying assets under Section 55 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act) as of June 30, 2015.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(B) | Percentages represent cash interest rates (which are generally indexed off of the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)) in effect at June 30, 2015, and due dates represent the contractual
maturity date. If applicable, paid-in-kind (PIK) interest rates are noted separately from the cash interest rates and any unused line of credit fees are excluded. Secured first lien debt securities generally take the form of first
priority liens on the assets of the underlying businesses.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(C) | Last out tranche (LOT) of secured first lien debt, meaning if the portfolio company is liquidated, the holder of the LOT is generally paid after the other secured first lien debt holders but before all other
debt and equity holders.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(D) | Fair value was based on an internal yield analysis or on estimates of value submitted by Standard & Poors Securities Evaluations, Inc. (SPSE).
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(E) | Fair value was based on the indicative bid price (IBP) on or near June 30, 2015, offered by the respective syndication agents trading desk.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(F) | Fair value was based on the total enterprise value (TEV) of the portfolio company, which was then allocated to the portfolio companys securities in order of their relative priority in the capital
structure.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(G) | Debt security has a fixed interest rate.
|--- | ----------------------------------------

|(H) | Investment is non-income producing.
|--- | -----------------------------------

|(I) | Investment is on non-accrual status.
|--- | ------------------------------------

|(J) | Investment was exited subsequent to June 30, 2015, and, as such, was valued based on the exit price.

GLADSTONE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2015

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

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Gladstone Capital Corporation was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on May 30, 2001, and completed an initial public
offering on August 23, 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). In addition, we have elected to be
treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (RIC) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of
established private businesses in the United States (U.S.). Our investment objectives are to (1) achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established small and medium-sized businesses 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 of 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 them 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 revolving line of credit.

Gladstone Financial Corporation (Gladstone
Financial), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, was established on November 21, 2006, for the purpose of holding a license to operate as a Specialized Small Business Investment Company. Gladstone Financial acquired this license in February
2007. The license enables us to make investments in accordance with the United States Small Business Administration guidelines for specialized small business investment companies. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we held no
investments through Gladstone Financial.

The financial statements of the foregoing two subsidiaries are consolidated with ours. We also have significant
subsidiaries 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 our investment advisor, Gladstone Management Corporation (the Adviser), a Delaware corporation and a Securities and
Exchange Commission (the 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).

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 omitted certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under Article 6 of
Regulation S-X, and the authoritative accounting guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are not permitted to consolidate any portfolio company
investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim periods have been
included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014, and subsequently amended on
December 29, 2014.

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

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the nine months ended June 30,
2015, with no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Investment Valuation Policy

Accounting Recognition

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

Board Responsibility

In accordance with the 1940 Act, our board of directors (our Board of Directors) has the ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving, in
good faith, the fair value of our investments based on our established investment valuation policy (the Policy). Our Board of Directors reviews valuation recommendations that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator
with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer (the Valuation Team). 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 our Board of Directors reviews the Policy to determine if changes
thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Policy consistently.

Use of Third Party Valuation Firms

The Valuation Team engages third party valuation firms to provide independent assessments of fair value of certain of our investments. Standard &
Poors Securities Evaluation, Inc. (SPSE) provides estimates of fair value on our proprietary debt investments. The Valuation Team generally assigns SPSEs estimates of fair value to our debt investments where we do not have
the ability to effectuate a sale of the applicable portfolio company. The Valuation Team corroborates SPSEs estimates of fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques discussed below. The Valuation Teams estimates of value on
a specific debt investment may significantly differ from SPSEs. When this occurs, our Board of Directors reviews whether the Valuation Team has followed the Policy and whether the Valuation Teams recommended value 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 valuation.

In addition,
we began using a third party valuation firm starting with the March 31, 2015 quarter end to provide additional EBITDA multiple ranges, as well as other information, that may be incorporated into our total enterprise valuations of certain of our
equity investments. Generally, at least once per year, we use an independent valuation firm to independently value or review our significant equity investments and provide additional information for us to consider in our total enterprise valuations.
The Valuation Team reviews all information from the valuation firm and makes a recommendation to our Board of Directors as to valuations. Our Board of Directors then reviews the recommended 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 valuation.

Valuation Techniques

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



| |  |  | Total Enterprise Value  In determining the fair value using a total enterprise value (TEV), the Valuation Team first calculates the TEV of the portfolio company by incorporating some or all of
the following factors: the portfolio companys ability to make payments and other specific portfolio company attributes; the earnings of the portfolio company (the trailing or projected twelve month revenue or earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)); EBITDA or revenue multiples obtained from our indexing methodology whereby the original transaction EBITDA or revenue multiple at the time of our closing is indexed to a general subset of
comparable disclosed transactions and EBITDA or revenue multiples from recent sales to third parties of similar securities in similar industries; a comparison to publicly traded securities in similar industries; and other pertinent factors. The
Valuation Team generally references industry statistics and may use outside experts when gathering this information. Once the TEV is determined for a portfolio company, the Valuation Team then allocates the TEV to the portfolio companys
securities in order of their relative priority in the capital structure. Generally, the Valuation Team uses TEV to value our equity investments and, in the circumstances where we have the ability to effectuate a sale of a portfolio company, our debt
investments.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

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



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



| |  |  | Market Quotes  For our syndicate investments for which a limited market exists, fair value is generally based 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 syndicated investments and evaluates variances in quotations and other market insights to determine if any available
quoted prices are reliable. Typically, the Valuation Team uses the lower indicative bid price (IBP) in the bid-to-ask price range obtained from the respective originating syndication agents trading desk on or near the valuation
date. The Valuation Team may take further steps to consider additional information to validate that price in accordance with the Policy.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investments in Funds  For equity investments in other funds, 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 above valuation techniques, the Valuation Team may also consider other factors when determining fair values of our investments, including,
but not limited to: the nature and realizable value of the collateral, including external parties guaranties; any relevant offers or letters of intent to acquire the portfolio company; and the markets in which the portfolio company operates.
If applicable, new and follow-on proprietary debt and equity investments made during the most recently completed quarter are generally valued at original cost basis.

Fair value measurements of our investments may involve subjective judgments and estimates and due to the inherent uncertainty of determining these fair
values, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. 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.

Interest Income
Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums, acquisition costs, and amendment fees and the accretion of original issue
discounts (OID), 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 a loans status significantly improves regarding the debtors ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due, or past due principal and interest are paid and, in managements judgment, are
likely to remain current, or, due to a restructuring, the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of June 30, 2015, four portfolio companies were either fully or partially on non-accrual status with an aggregate debt cost basis of
approximately $49.2 million, or 13.4% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of approximately $10.7 million, or 3.5% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio. As of
September 30, 2014, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $51.4 million, or 16.1% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of
approximately $13.2 million, or 5.2% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio.

##### Table of Contents

We currently hold, and we expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain OID or
paid-in-kind (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. Therefore, 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 of our 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, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had 17 original OID loans, primarily from the syndicated investments in our portfolio. We recorded
OID income of $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to $59 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID
investments as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, totaled $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had four and three investments, respectively, with a PIK interest
component. We recorded PIK income of $0.3 and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to $80 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We collected
$0 PIK interest in cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other Income Recognition

We generally record success fees upon our receipt of cash. Success fees are contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company, typically from
an exit or sale. We recorded an aggregate of $1.7 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted from $0.6 million related to the early payoff of North American Aircraft Services, LLC (NAAS) at a
realized gain, $0.3 million prepayment of success fees by Francis Drilling Fluids, LLC (FDF), $0.5 million prepayment of success fees by Defiance Integrated Technologies, Inc. (Defiance), $0.1 million prepayment of success
fees by Southern Petroleum Laboratories, Inc. (SPL) and $0.2 million of success fees related to our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark Acquisition, LLC (Lindmark) and the ensuing pay down of our debt
investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. We recorded an aggregate of $1.6 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted from $0.5 million related to the early payoff of Thibaut Acquisition Co. at
par, $0.5 million prepayment by FDF and $0.6 million received as a result of our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark in September 2013.

Dividend income on equity investments is accrued to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we have the option to collect such
amounts in cash. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an aggregate of $0.6 million of dividend income, which resulted from $0.1 million from our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.2 from our preferred equity investment in
Funko, LLC (Funko) and $0.3 million from our preferred equity investment in SPL. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an aggregate of $1.0 million of dividend income, net of estimated income taxes payable, which
resulted from $0.2 million on our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.7 million on our investment in FedCap Partners, LLC and $0.1 million on our preferred equity investment in Funko.

Success fees and dividend income are both recorded in other income in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU-2015-03), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2015-03 and do not anticipate a material impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption
permitted.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which
amends or supersedes the scope and consolidation guidance under existing GAAP. The new standard changes the way a reporting entity evaluates whether a) limited partnerships and similar entities should be consolidated, b) fees paid to decision makers
or service providers are variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE), and c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties require the reporting entity to consolidate the VIE. ASU 2015-02 also eliminates the VIE
consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2015-02 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.

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

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes
or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will expand
disclosures about revenue. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 and anticipate no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting
periods that begin after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption not permitted.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

Fair Value

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



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



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



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

When
a determination is made to classify our investments within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, such determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial
instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, observable inputs (or, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, all of our investments were valued using Level 3 inputs and during the
nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no investments transferred into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.

In accordance with the FASBs ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Reporting Standards (IFRS), (ASU 2011-04), the following table provides quantitative information about our Level 3 fair value measurements of
our investments as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. The table below is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to our fair value measurements. The weighted
average calculations in the table below are based on the principal balances for all debt related calculations and on the cost basis for all equity-related calculations for the particular input.

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

Receivables from Portfolio Companies

Receivables from portfolio companies represent non-recurring costs that we have incurred on behalf of portfolio companies and are included in other assets on
our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had gross receivables from portfolio companies totaling $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The
allowance for uncollectible receivables from portfolio companies totaled $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, which is reflected in other assets on our accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we recorded an allowance for uncollectible interest receivables totaling $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which is
reflected in interest receivable on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We generally maintain allowances 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.

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

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

|(D) | Our Board of Directors accepted an unconditional, non-contractual and irrevocable voluntary credit from the Adviser to reduce the annual 2.0% base management fee on
senior syndicated loan participations to 0.5% for the quarter, to the extent that proceeds resulting from borrowings were used to purchase such senior syndicated loan participations, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(E) | Our Board of Directors accepted an unconditional, non-contractual and irrevocable voluntary credit from the Adviser to reduce the income-based incentive fee to the
extent net investment income did not cover 100.0% of the distributions to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2014.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is computed
and payable quarterly and is assessed at an annual rate of 2.0%, 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. The base management fee is then adjusted by certain voluntary, irrevocable and unconditional credits from the Adviser as
explained in the notes to the table above.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts: an income-based incentive fee and a capital gains-based incentive fee. The income-based incentive fee rewards the
Adviser if our quarterly net investment income (before giving effect to any incentive fee) exceeds 1.75% of



27

##### Table of Contents

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% 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% 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 realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year. In determining the capital gains-based incentive fee payable to the Adviser, we calculate
the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, and the entire portfolios aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, if any and excluding any unrealized capital
appreciation, as of the date of the calculation. 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 since our inception through June 30, 2015, as cumulative net unrealized capital depreciation
has exceeded cumulative realized capital gains net of cumulative realized capital losses.

Additionally, in accordance with GAAP, a capital gains-based
incentive fee accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains-based incentive fee. 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 since our
inception through June 30, 2015.

Loan Servicing Fee

The Adviser also services the loans held by Business Loan (the borrower under our line of credit), 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 line of credit. Since Business Loan is a consolidated subsidiary of ours, and the total base management fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement,
cannot exceed 2.0% of total assets (as reduced by cash and cash equivalents pledged to creditors) during any given calendar year, we treat payment of the loan servicing 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% voluntarily, irrevocably and unconditionally credited back to us by the Adviser.

Administration Agreement

The Administration Agreement
provides for payments equal to our portion of the Administrators expenses incurred while performing services to us, which 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) and their respective staffs. Prior to July 1,
2014, our portion of the expenses were generally derived by multiplying that portion of the Administrators expenses allocable to all funds managed by the Adviser by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of each quarter in
comparison to the total assets at the beginning of each quarter of all funds managed by the Adviser.

Effective July 1, 2014, 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 14, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the annual renewal of the Administration Agreement through August 31, 2016.

respectively. In addition, other net co-investment expenses payable to Gladstone Investment (for reimbursement purposes) totaled $0.1 million and $41 as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. These expenses were paid in
full in the quarter subsequent to being incurred and have been included in other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilitiesas of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014,
respectively.

Note Receivable from Former Employee

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, our employee note receivable was repaid in full and all shares of common stock that were held as collateral
were released. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we received $0.1 million in principal repayments from the former employee, who paid off the note in full. We did not receive any principal repayments during the nine months ended
June 30, 2014. We recognized interest income from the employee note of $1 and $4 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively and $3 and $11 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 1, 2015, we, through Business Loan, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the Credit Facility), which increased
the commitment amount from $137.0 million to $140.0 million, extended the revolving period end date by three years to January 19, 2019, decreased the marginal interest rate added to 30-day LIBOR from 3.75% to 3.25% per annum, set the
unused commitment fee at 0.50% on all undrawn amounts, expanded the scope of eligible collateral, and amended certain other terms and conditions. Our Credit Facility was arranged by KeyBank National Association (KeyBank), as
administrative agent, lead arranger and a lender. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by January 19, 2019, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before May 1, 2020. Subject to certain terms and conditions,
our Credit Facility may be expanded up to a total of $250.0 million through additional commitments of new or existing lenders. We incurred fees of approximately $1.1 million in connection with this amendment, which are being amortized through our
Credit Facilitys revolving period end date of January 19, 2019.

On June 19, 2015, we through Business Loan, entered into certain joinder
and assignment agreements with three new lenders to increase borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility by $30.0 million to $170.0 million. We incurred fees of approximately $0.6 million in connection with this expansion, which are being amortized
through our Credit Facilitys revolving period end date of January 19, 2019.

The following tables summarize noteworthy information related to
our Credit Facility (at cost) as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 and during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

##### Table of Contents

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.

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 payments on distributions
to our stockholders to our aggregate net investment income and capital gains for each of the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. 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, which equates to $205.0 million as of June 30, 2015, (ii) asset coverage with respect to
senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200.0%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code.

As of June 30, 2015, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $259.4 million, asset coverage of 221.0%
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, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility, on July 15, 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into an interest rate cap agreement with
KeyBank, effective July 9, 2013 and expiring January 19, 2016, for a notional amount of $35.0 million that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. The one month LIBOR cap is set at
5.0%. We incurred a premium fee of $62 in conjunction with this agreement, which is recorded in other assets on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.As of June 30, 2015 and September 30,
2014, the fair value of our interest rate cap agreement was $0.

Fair Value

We elected to apply the fair value option of ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically for our Credit Facility, which was consistent with
our application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of our Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis which includes a DCF calculation and also takes into account the Valuation Teams own assumptions, including,
but not limited to, the estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2015, due to the recent amendment of our Credit Facility
and comparable market factors, the fair value of our Credit Facility was determined to approximate cost. As of September 30, 2014, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of our Credit Facility was 4.0%. Generally, an increase or
decrease in the discount rate used in the DCF calculation, may result in a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, our Credit Facility was
valued using Level 3 inputs and any changes in its fair value is recorded in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of other on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In May 2014, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.4 million shares of 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
(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 $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 (Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock) and the
remainder was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, we recognized a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million,
which was reflected on our statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and which was primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance costs at the time of redemption.

We incurred $2.5 million in total offering costs related to the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which are recorded as deferred financing
fees on our accompanyingCondensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the redemption period ending June 30, 2021. The shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock are traded under the ticker
symbol GLADO on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ). Our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security and provides for a fixed dividend rate equal to 6.75% per
year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $4.1 million per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock on June 30, 2021 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share
plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions on such 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 2021 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 of us, we would be required to redeem all of the outstanding
Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 200.0% and do not take steps to cure such asset coverage amount within a specified period of time. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a
portion of the Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price in our sole discretion to have an asset coverage ratio of up to and including 240.0% and at any time on or after June 30, 2017. If we fail to redeem our Series 2021 Term
Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption required on June 30, 2021, or in any other circumstance in which we are required to mandatorily redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, then the fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0%
for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2015, we have not redeemed any of our outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock.

In
November 2011, we completed a public offering of approximately 1.5 million shares of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds totaled $38.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $36.4 million, a portion of which was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. In May 2014, when we voluntarily redeemed our Series 2016
Term Preferred Stock, the remaining unamortized costs were fully written off as part of the realized loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above. Our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock provided for a fixed dividend rate equal to 7.125% per
year, payable monthly (which equated in total to approximately $2.7 million per year).

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we are required to distribute to our stockholders 90.0% of our 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 our fiscal year earnings. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares three monthly distributions each
quarter.

The federal income tax characterization of all distributions is reported to our stockholders on the Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 at the
end of each calendar year. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 100.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from a return of capital and for each of October, November and December 2014, approximately
100.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from ordinary income for Form 1099 reporting purposes. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 92.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from
ordinary income, with the remainder of approximately 8.0% deemed to be from a return of capital and for each of October, November and December 2013, approximately 100.0% of our common distributions were deemed to be paid from ordinary income for
Form 1099 reporting purposes. In determining the characterization of distributions, the Internal Revenue Code Section 316(b)(4) allows RICs to apply current earnings and profits first to distributions made during the portion of the tax year
prior to January 1, which in our case would be the three months ended December 31. The return of capital in both the 2014 and 2013 calendar years for Form 1099 reporting purposes resulted primarily from GAAP realized losses being
recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

We paid the following monthly distributions to common stockholders for the nine months
ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Aggregate distributions declared and paid to our common stockholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,
were each approximately $13.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and were declared based on estimates of net investment income for the respective periods. For our federal income tax reporting purposes, we determine the tax characterization of
our common stockholder distributions at fiscal year-end based upon our 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. If we characterized our common stockholder distributions for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, 100.0% would be a return of capital, primarily due to GAAP realized losses being recognized as ordinary
losses for federal income tax purposes. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, common stockholder distributions declared and paid exceeded our accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account term preferred stock dividends),
resulting in a partial return of capital of approximately $15.2 million. The return of capital for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended September 30, 2014, primarily resulted from GAAP realized losses being recognized as
ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended September 30, 2014, 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, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. 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 such loss contingencies are probable and estimable and
therefore, as of June 30, 2015, we have not established reserves for such loss contingencies. Additionally, we do not believe that loss contingencies, if any, arising from pending investigations, litigation or regulatory matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

Financial Commitments and Obligations

We have lines of credit 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.

When investing in certain private
equity funds, we may have uncalled capital commitments, depending on the agreed upon terms of our committed ownership interest. These capital commitments usually have a specific date in the future set as a closing date, at which time the commitment
is either funded or terminates. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had uncalled capital commitments related to our partnership interest in Leeds Novamark Capital I, L.P.

statements are not necessarily indicative of financial condition or results of operations for any future periods.

OVERVIEW

General

We were incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on May 30, 2001. We were established for the purpose of investing in debt and
equity securities of established private businesses in the United States (U.S.). We operate as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, and have elected to be treated as a business development
company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC) under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). As a BDC and RIC, we are subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code.

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 objectives, our investment strategy
is to invest in several categories of debt and equity securities, with each investment generally ranging from $5 million to $25 million, although investment size may vary, depending upon our total assets or available capital at the time of
investment. We intend for our investment portfolio to consist of approximately 90.0% debt investments and 10.0% equity investments, at cost. As of June 30, 2015, our investment portfolio was made up of approximately 91.7% debt investments and
8.3% equity investments, at cost.

We focus on investing in small and medium-sized middle market private businesses 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 business, 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, to finance acquisitions, or recapitalize
or refinance their existing debt facilities. We typically 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 or management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity. If we are participating in an investment with one or more co-investors, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone.

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.

Our shares of common stock and 6.75% Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock (our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock) are traded on the NASDAQ Global
Select Market (NASDAQ) under the trading symbols GLAD and GLADO, respectively.

Business

Portfolio Activity

During the nine months ended
June 30, 2015, we invested an aggregate of $65.3 million in seven new proprietary and syndicate investments, resulting in a net expansion in our overall portfolio of one portfolio company, due to one portfolio company paying off early that
resulted in a realized gain of $1.6 million, the sale of three syndicated investments for combined proceeds of $6.1 million, and the sale of two of our portfolio companies, one of which was on non-accrual at the time of sale, for net combined
proceeds of $10.8 million. We will continue to focus on exiting challenged and non-strategic investments in our portfolio in an orderly manner over the next several quarters.

In July 2012, the SEC granted us an exemptive order that expanded our ability, under certain circumstances, to co-invest with Gladstone Investment Corporation
(Gladstone Investment) and any future BDC or closed-end management investment company that is advised (or sub-advised if it controls the fund) by the Adviser or any combination of the foregoing subject to the conditions in the SECs
order. We believe this ability to co-invest has enhanced and will continue to enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies. Pursuant to this exemptive order, we co-invested with Gladstone Investment in one new proprietary
investment during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as discussed under Investment Highlights.

Capital Raising

Despite the challenges in the economy for the past several years, we have met our capital needs through enhancements to our revolving line of
credit (our Credit Facility) and by accessing the capital markets in the form of public offerings of preferred stock. In May 2014, we issued approximately 2.4 million shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock (for gross
proceeds of $61.0 million), which we used to redeem our previously issued 7.125% Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock (Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock) issued in November 2011 and also to repay outstanding borrowings on our Credit Facility.
Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources  Equity  Term Preferred Stock for further discussion of our term preferred stock. Additionally, in May 2015, we amended and restated our Credit Facility, which included, among
other amended terms, decreasing the interest rates on advances, extending the revolving period end date for three years, and expanding the scope of eligible collateral. In June 2015, we increased the total number of committed lenders in our Credit
Facility by three and increased the capacity of the Credit Facility from $140.0 million to $170.0 million. Refer to Recent Developments  Expansion of Revolving Credit Facility and Amendment and Extension of Revolving Credit
Facilityand Liquidity and Capital Resources  Revolving Credit Facility for further discussion of our revolving line of credit.

Although we were able to access the capital markets in May 2014 with our term preferred stock offering and in February through April 2015 with our
at-the-market program (refer to Recent Developments  At-the-Market Program for further discussion of this program), we believe uncertain market conditions continue to affect the trading price of our capital stock and thus
may challenge our ability to finance new investments through the issuance of equity. The current volatility in the credit market and the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy have led to significant stock market fluctuations over the last year,
particularly with respect to the stock of financial services companies like ours. During times of increased price volatility, our common stock may be more likely to trade at a price below our net asset value (NAV) per share, which is not
uncommon for BDCs.

On July 28, 2015, the closing market price of our common stock was $7.74, a 18.4% discount to our June 30, 2015, NAV per
share of $9.49. When our stock trades below NAV per common share, as it has at times traded over the last several 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 stockholder approval, other than through sales to our then-existing stockholders pursuant to a rights offering. At our annual meeting of stockholders held on February 12, 2015, our stockholders
approved a proposal which authorizes us to sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per common share subject to certain limitations (including, but not limited to, that the number of shares issued and sold pursuant to
such authority does not exceed 25.0% of our then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale) for a period of one year from the date of approval, provided that our board of directors (our Board of Directors) makes
certain determinations prior to any such sale.

The current uncertain and volatile economic conditions may also continue to cause the value of the collateral
securing some of our loans to fluctuate, as well as the value of our equity investments, which has impacted and may continue to impact our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility. Additionally, our Credit Facility contains covenants regarding
the maintenance of certain minimum loan concentrations and net worth, which are affected by the decrease in the aggregate value of our portfolio. Failure to meet these requirements would result in a default which, if we are unable to obtain a waiver
from our lenders, would cause an acceleration of our repayment obligations under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facilitys covenants.

Regulatory Compliance

Challenges in the current
market are intensified for us by certain regulatory limitations under the Code and the 1940 Act that may further constrain our ability to access the capital markets. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, we must distribute at least 90.0% of our
investment company taxable income, which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of our net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses. Because we are required to satisfy the RIC annual stockholder
distribution requirement, and because the illiquidity of many of our investments makes it difficult for us to finance new investments through the sale of current investments, our ability to make new investments is highly dependent upon external
financing. Our external financing sources may include the issuance of equity securities, debt securities or other leverage, such as borrowings under our Credit Facility. 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 that require us to have an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act) of at least 200.0% on our senior securities
representing indebtedness and our senior securities that are stock, (collectively, our Senior Securities).

We expect that, given these
regulatory and contractual constraints in combination with current market conditions, the debt and equity capital available to us may not be sufficient in the near term. However, we believe that the amendments to our Credit Facility to decrease the
interest rate on advances and extend its revolving period end date until 2019, our expansion of our Credit Facility and our ability to co-invest with Gladstone Investment and certain other affiliated investment funds, has increased our ability to
make investments in middle market businesses that we believe will help us achieve attractive long-term returns for our stockholders.

During the quarter
ended June 30, 2015, while we did not close any new originations, we have focused on building our pipeline with deals that we believe are generally recession resistant, have steady cash flows, and have strong management teams which can
ultimately provide appropriate returns, given the investment risks. As we have demonstrated this quarter and in the past few quarters, we continue to work through some of the older, more challenged investments in our portfolio to enhance overall
returns to our stockholders.

Investment Highlights

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we invested an aggregate of $65.3 million in seven new portfolio companies and an aggregate of $28.4 million
in existing portfolio companies. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we sold our investments in two portfolio companies for combined net proceeds of $10.8 million and we received scheduled and unscheduled principal
repayments of approximately $10.1 million in aggregate from existing portfolio companies. Since our initial public offering in August 2001, we have made 391 different loans to, or investments in, 192 companies for a total of approximately $1.4
billion, before giving effect to principal repayments on investments and divestitures.

Investment Income

Interest income increased by
11.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was due primarily to the seven new investments that we funded during the nine months ended June 30, 2015. The interest income from these
new investments was partially offset by allowances on certain interest receivables totaling $0.2 million, which reduced interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2015, and resulted in a lower weighted average yield on our
portfolio. The weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $330.6 million, compared to $285.3 million for the prior year period, an increase of 16.2%. The
annualized weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investment portfolio is based on the current stated interest rate on interest-bearing investments which decreased to 11.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 11.5% for
the three months ended June 30, 2014, inclusive of any allowances on interest receivables made during those periods.

As of June 30, 2015, four
portfolio companies were either fully or partially on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $49.2 million, or 13.4%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective April 1, 2015, we placed
Saunders & Associates (Saunders) on non-accrual status and effective January 1, 2015, we placed GFRC Holdings, LLC (GFRC) on non-accrual status. Effective January 1, 2015, portions of our investment in
Sunshine Media Holdings (Sunshine) were placed on accrual status. As of June 30, 2014, three of our portfolio companies were on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $52.1 million, or 16.2%, of the
cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective June 1, 2014, we placed Midwest Metal on non-accrual status, which was later exited in December 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, other income consisted primarily of $0.3 million in success fees prepaid by Defiance Integrated Technologies,
Inc. (Defiance), $0.3 million in dividend income and prepaid success fees recorded as a receivable from Southern Petroleum Laboratories, Inc. (SPL) and $0.2 million in dividend income received from Funko, LLC
(Funko). Other income for the three

Expenses

Expenses, net of any voluntary, irrevocable and non-contractual credits to fees from the Adviser, decreased slightly by 0.4% for the three months
ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the net incentive fee of $1.0 million, which was offset primarily by the increase in interest expense on borrowings of $0.3 million
and the increase in the net base management fee of $0.4 million.

Interest expense increased by $0.3 million, or 45.5%, during the three months ended
June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to an increase in the borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility during the period. The weighted average balance outstanding on our Credit Facility during the three months
ended June 30, 2015, was approximately $109.8 million, as compared to $49.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 122.3%. This increase was partially offset by the decrease in advance rates on our borrowings effective May 1,
2015, per the recent amendment and restatement of our Credit Facility.

The increase of $0.4 million, or 25.2%, in the net base management fee earned
by the Adviser during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, was due primarily to an increase in the average total assets outstanding due to the net growth in our investment portfolio. During the three
months ended June 30, 2015, our Board of Directors accepted an unconditional, non-contractual and irrevocable voluntary credit of $0.8 million from the Adviser to reduce the income-based incentive fee to the extent projected net investment
income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 did not cover 100.0% of the projected distributions to common stockholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. No such credit was granted for the three months ended
June 30, 2014.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Net
Realized Loss on Investments and Escrows

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and escrows of
$1.1 million, which resulted primarily from the exit of our investment in Sunburst during the three months June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, there was minimal realized activity on investments and escrows.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period,
including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are actually realized. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the
aggregate amount of $1.1 million, which included reversals totaling $2.2 million of cumulative net unrealized depreciation, primarily related to the exit of Sunburst during the period. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation
(excluding reversals) for the three months ended June 30, 2015, consisted of approximately $1.5 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately $1.8 million of depreciation on our equity investments.

The largest driver of our net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2015, excluding reversals, was a decline in financial and
operational performance on several portfolio companies, most notably RBC Acquisition Corp. (RBC) of $5.9 million, B+T Group Acquisition Inc. (B+T) of $2.0 million, and Defiance of $1.5 million. This depreciation was partially
offset by the improvement in financial and operational performance and the increase in comparable multiples used in the valuation of Funko, LLC (Funko) of $6.2 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $22.8 million, which
included reversals totaling $0.1 million in cumulative unrealized net appreciation. Excluding reversals, we had $22.7 million in net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized
depreciation (excluding reversals) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, consisted of approximately $24.4 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately $1.7 million of appreciation on our equity investments.

The largest driver
of our net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was a decline in financial and operating performance and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in comparable multiples used in valuing RBC of $18.2 million, Midwest Metal of
$3.5 million and Precision Acquisition Group Holdings, Inc. (Precision) of $3.4 million. This unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by unrealized appreciation due to an incremental
improvement in the financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, an increase in comparable multiples used in valuing Defiance of $2.4 million.

Net Unrealized Depreciation (Appreciation) of Other

Net
unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of other includes the net change in the fair value of our Credit Facility and our interest rate cap during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or
depreciation when gains and losses are realized. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of other of $0.7 and net unrealized appreciation of other of $1.1 million, respectively.

Investment Income

Interest income increased by
3.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was due primarily to the funding of several new investments during the period, partially offset by several early payoffs at par during the prior
year and allowances on certain interest receivables totaling $1.1 million, which reduced interest income during the nine months ended June 30, 2015. The weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio during the
nine months ended June 30, 2015, was $315.8 million, compared to $282.7 million for the prior year period, an increase of 11.7%. The annualized weighted average yield on our interest-bearing investment portfolio is based on the current stated
interest rate on interest-bearing investments and decreased to 10.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 11.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, inclusive of any allowances on interest receivables made during those
periods.

As of June 30, 2015, four portfolio companies were either fully or partially on non-accrual status, with an aggregate debt cost basis of
approximately $49.2 million, or 13.4%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective April 1, 2015, we placed Saunders on non-accrual status and effective January 1, 2015, we placed GFRC on non-accrual status and
restored two tranches of Sunshine debt to accrual status. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we sold our investment in Midwest Metal that had been on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2014, three of our portfolio companies
were on non-accrual, with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $52.1 million, or 16.2%, of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio. Effective January 1, 2014, we placed Heartland Communications Group
(Heartland) on non-accrual status and effective June 1, 2014 we placed Midwest Metal on non-accrual status. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we sold our investment in LocalTel, LLC (LocalTel) that
had been on non-accrual status.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, other income consisted primarily of $0.6 million in success fees related to
the early payoff of NAAS at a realized gain, $0.5 million in success fees prepaid by Defiance, $0.3 million in success fees prepaid by FDF, $0.3 million in dividend income and prepaid success fees recorded as a receivable from SPL, $0.2 million in
dividend income received from FDF and $0.2 million of success fees

Expenses

Expenses, net of any voluntary, irrevocable and non-contractual credits to fees from the Adviser, increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, by
12.3%, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the increase in our net base management fees to the Advisor, interest expense on borrowings, and dividend expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock,
partially offset by the decrease in the net incentive fee to the Adviser during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Interest expense increased by
$0.7 million, or 37.2%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility during the period. The weighted average balance outstanding on
our Credit Facility during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, was approximately $84.7 million, as compared to $43.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 96.7%. This increase was slightly offset by the decrease in advance rates on
our borrowings effective May 1, 2015, per the recent amendment and restatement of our Credit Facility.

The increase of $0.8 million, or 33.7%, in
dividend expense on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the higher monthly distribution amount on our Series 2021 Term Preferred
Stock, which was issued in May 2014, and which was partially offset by the voluntary redemption of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, which was issued in November 2011 and redeemed in May 2014. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources
 Equity  Term Preferred Stock for further discussion of our term preferred stock.

The increase of $0.6 million, or 17.3%, in the
net base management fee earned by the Adviser during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, was due primarily to an increase in the average total assets outstanding as a result of the net growth in our
investment portfolio during the period. The base management, loan servicing and incentive fees and associated unconditional, non-contractual, and irrevocable voluntary credits are computed quarterly, as described under Transactions with the
Advisor in Note 4 of the notes to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are summarized in the following table:

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Net
Realized Loss on Investments and Escrows

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and escrows of
$14.5 million, which resulted primarily from the sales of Midwest Metal and Sunburst for a combined realized loss of $15.8 million and net proceeds of $10.8 million in the aggregate. This realized loss was partially offset by the realized gain of
$1.6 million we recognized on the early payoff of NAAS.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net realized loss on investments and
escrows of $13.3 million, which consisted primarily of realized losses of $10.8 million due to our sale of LocalTel for proceeds contingent on an earn-out and $2.8 million due to our sale of BAS Broadcasting (BAS) for net proceeds of
$4.7 million.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period,
including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are actually realized. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of investments of $14.2
million, which included reversals totaling $15.5 million in cumulative unrealized depreciation primarily related to the sales of Midwest Metal and Sunburst during the period. Excluding reversals, we have $1.3 million in net unrealized depreciation
for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, consisted of approximately $11.1 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately
$9.8 of appreciation on our equity investments.

The largest driver
of our net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, was due to incremental declines in the financial and operational performance of RBC of $5.9 million, GFRC of $5.3 million, Plato Learning, Inc.
(Plato) of $3.6 million and Saunders of $3.3 million. Partially offsetting this net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, was the net unrealized appreciation of Funko of $15.9 million due to improvements
in financial and operation performance and the increase in comparable multiples used in the valuation.

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are actually realized. During the
nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of investments in the aggregate amount of $9.9 million, which included reversals totaling $16.7 million in cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily related to our
sales of LocalTel and BAS. Excluding reversals, we had $26.6 million in net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Over our entire portfolio, the net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the nine months
ended June 30, 2014, consisted of approximately $26.3 million of depreciation on our debt investments and approximately $0.3 million of depreciation on our equity investments.

The largest driver
of our net unrealized depreciation (excluding reversals) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was a decrease in financial and operational performance and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in comparable multiples used in valuing RBC of $21.1
million and Midwest Metal of $13.5 million. This unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio companies, due to incremental improvements in their financial
and operational performance, and to a lesser extent, an increase in comparable multiples used in valuations, most notably that of Defiance of $3.6 million.

As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of our investment portfolio was less than its cost basis by approximately $53.8 million, and our entire investment
portfolio was valued at 86.6% of cost, as compared to cumulative net unrealized depreciation of $68.0 million and a valuation of our entire portfolio at 80.5% of cost as of September 30, 2014. This represents net unrealized appreciation of our
investments of $14.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. Eleven of the companies in our portfolio as of June 30, 2015 originated before December 31, 2008, represent 31.6% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio, were
valued at 51.3% of cost and include all of our non-accrual investments. The remaining 35 companies in our portfolio as of June 30, 2015 originated after December 31, 2008, represent 68.4% of the entire cost basis of our portfolio and were
valued at 102.8% of cost.

We believe that our aggregate investment portfolio was valued at a depreciated value as of June 30, 2015, primarily due to
the lingering effects of the recession that began in 2008 and its effect on the performance of certain of our portfolio companies and also because we were invested in certain industries that were disproportionately impacted by the recession. The
cumulative net unrealized depreciation of our investments does not have an impact on our current ability to pay distributions to stockholders; however, it may be an indication of future realized losses, which could ultimately reduce our income
available for distribution to stockholders.

Net Unrealized Depreciation (Appreciation) of Other

Net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of other includes the net change in the fair value of our Credit Facility and our interest rate cap during the
reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains and losses are realized. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of other of
$1.3 million and net unrealized appreciation of other of $1.3 million, respectively.

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 fees to the Adviser, and for other operating expenses. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months
ended June 30, 2015, was $52.3 million, as compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in investments to new portfolio companies,
partially offset by a decrease in unscheduled principal repayments during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, we had
loans to, syndicated participations in, or equity investments in 46 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $401.1 million. As of June 30, 2014, we had loans to, syndicated participations in and/or equity investments in
49 private companies with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $350.4 million.

The following table summarizes our total portfolio investment activity
during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, at fair value:

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, of $53.8 million consisted primarily of net proceeds from borrowings on
our Credit Facility of $67.9 million, partially offset by $13.3 million of distributions to common stockholders. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 of $5.3 million consisted primarily of net repayments
on borrowings on our Credit Facility of $11.8 million and distributions to common stockholders of $13.2 million. These net uses were partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, net of the voluntary
redemption of the then existing Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock.

Distributions to Stockholders

Common Stock Distributions

To qualify to be taxed
as a RIC and thus avoid corporate-level federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders, we are required to distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90.0% of our investment company taxable income.
Additionally, the covenants in our Credit Facility generally restrict the amount of distributions to stockholders that we can pay out to be no greater than our net investment income in each fiscal year. In accordance with these requirements, we
declared and paid monthly cash distributions of $0.07 per common share for each of the nine months from October 2014 through June 2015, which totaled an aggregate of $13.3 million. In July 2015, our Board of Directors declared a monthly distribution
of $0.07 per common share for each of July, August and September 2015. 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, 2015.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, which includes the nine months ended June 30, 2014, our aggregate
distributions to common stockholders totaled approximately $17.7 million, which were declared based on estimates of our investment company taxable income for that fiscal year. For our fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, our common stockholder
distributions declared and paid exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits (after taking into account our preferred stock dividends), resulted in a partial return of capital of approximately $15.2 million. The return of capital was
primarily due to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes. The characterization of the common stockholder distributions declared and
paid for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon our 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. If we characterized our common stockholder distributions for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, 100.0% would be a return of capital, primarily due to GAAP
realized losses being recognized as ordinary losses for federal income tax purposes.

Preferred Stock Distributions

Our Board of Directors also declared, and we paid, monthly cash distributions of $0.140625 per share of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock for each of the
nine months from October 2014 through June 2015, which totaled an aggregate of $2.1 million. In July 2015, our Board of directors declared a monthly distribution of $0.140625 per share of Series 2021 Term Preferred stock for each of July, August and
September 2015. In accordance with GAAP, we treat these monthly distributions to preferred stockholders as an expense. For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid by us to preferred stockholders generally constitute ordinary income to the
extent our current and accumulated earnings and profits have been characterized as ordinary income to our preferred stockholders.

Equity

Registration Statement

We filed
Post-effective Amendment No. 4 to our universal shelf registration statement (our Registration Statement) on Form N-2 (File No. 333-185191) with the SEC on December 1, 2014, and subsequently filed Post-effective
Amendment No. 5 to our Registration Statement on January 29, 2015, which the SEC declared effective January 30, 2015. Our Registration Statement registers an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock,
preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock. As of June 30, 2015, we have the ability to issue up to $237.8 million in securities under our Registration Statement through one or
more transactions. We sold approximately 2.4 million shares, or $61.0 million in gross proceeds, of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock under our Registration Statement in May 2014. In addition, we sold an aggregate of 131,462 shares, or $1.2
million in gross proceeds, of our common stock under the Sales Agreements (discussed in more detail below) during the nine months ended June 30, 2015. To date, no other securities have been sold under our Registration Statement.

Common Stock

We anticipate selling equity
securities to obtain additional capital in the future. However, we cannot determine the terms of any future equity issuances or whether we will be able to issue equity on terms favorable to us, or at all. Additionally, when our common stock is
trading below NAV per share, as it has from time to time over the last four years, the 1940 Act restricts our ability to obtain additional capital by issuing common stock. Generally, the 1940 Act provides that we may not issue and sell our common
stock at a price below our then current NAV per common share, other than to our then existing common stockholders pursuant to a rights offering, without first obtaining approval from our stockholders and our independent directors. As of
July 28, 2015, our closing market price was $7.74 per common share, a 18.4% discount to our June 30, 2015 NAV per common share of $9.49. To the extent that our common stock trades at a market price below our NAV per common share, we will
generally be precluded from raising equity capital through public offerings of our common stock, other than pursuant to stockholder approval or a rights offering to existing common stockholders.

##### Table of Contents

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 12, 2015, our stockholders approved a proposal
authorizing us to sell shares of our common stock at a price below our then current NAV per share subject to certain limitations (including, but not limited to, that the number of shares issued and sold pursuant to such authority does not exceed
25.0% of our then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale) for a period of one year from the date of approval, provided that our Board of Directors makes certain determinations prior to any such sale.

On February 27, 2015, we entered into the Sales Agreements (commonly referred to as at-the-market agreements) under which we may 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. During the nine months ended June 2015, we sold an aggregate of 131,462 shares of our common stock for $1.0 million,
net of underwriters commissions and other offering expenses borne by us, under the Sales Agreements.

Term Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Registration Statement, in May 2014, we completed a public offering of approximately 2.4 million shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and a 6.75% rate. Gross proceeds totaled $61.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were
$58.5 million, a portion of which was used to voluntarily redeem all 1.5 million outstanding shares of our then existing Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock and the remainder was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit
Facility. In connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock, we recognized a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, which was reflected on our statement of operations during the three months ended
June 30, 2014 and was primarily comprised of the unamortized deferred issuance costs at the time of redemption.

We incurred $2.5 million in total
offering costs related to the issuance of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, which are recorded as deferred financing fees on our accompanyingCondensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are being amortized over the
redemption period ending June 30, 2021. The shares of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock are traded under the ticker symbol of GLADO on the NASDAQ. Our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or
any other security and provides for a fixed dividend rate equal to 6.75% per year, payable monthly (which equates in total to approximately $4.1 million per year). We are required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred
Stock on June 30, 2021 for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions on such share accumulated to (but excluding) the date of redemption (the Redemption
Price). Additionally, we may be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series 2021 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 of us, we would be required to redeem all of the outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock and (2) if we fail to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 200.0% and do not take steps to cure such
asset coverage amount within a specified period of time. We may also voluntarily redeem all or a portion of the Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock at our option at the Redemption Price to have an asset coverage ratio of up to and including 240.0% and
at any time on or after June 30, 2017. If we fail to redeem our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption required on June 30, 2021, or in any other circumstance in which we are required to mandatorily redeem
our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock, then the annual fixed dividend rate will increase by 4.0% for so long as such failure continues. As of June 30, 2015, we have not redeemed any of our outstanding Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock. Our Series
2021 Term Preferred Stock has been recorded as a liability in accordance with GAAP and, as such, affects our asset coverage, exposing us to additional leverage risks.

Pursuant to our prior registration statement, in November 2011, we completed a public offering of approximately 1.5 million shares of our Series 2016
Term Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and a 7.125% rate. Gross proceeds totaled $38.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses borne by us, were $36.4 million,
a portion of which was used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. In May 2014 when our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock was voluntarily redeemed, the remaining unamortized costs at that time were fully written off
as part of the realized loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above. Our Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock provided for a fixed dividend rate equal to 7.125% per year, payable monthly (which equated in total to approximately $2.7 million per
year).

Revolving Credit Facility

On
May 1, 2015, we, through Business Loan, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which increased the commitment amount from $137.0 million to $140.0 million, extended the revolving period end date by three years to
January 19, 2019, decreased the marginal interest rate added to 30-day LIBOR from 3.75% to 3.25% per annum, set the unused commitment fee at 0.50% on all undrawn amounts, expanded the scope of eligible collateral, and amended other terms
and conditions to among other items. Our Credit Facility was arranged by KeyBank, as administrative agent, lead arranger and a lender. If our Credit Facility is not renewed or extended by January 19, 2019, all principal and interest will be due
and payable on or before May 1, 2020. Subject to certain terms and conditions, our Credit Facility may be expanded up to a total of $250.0 million through additional commitments of new or existing lenders. We incurred fees of approximately $1.1
million in connection with this amendment, which are being amortized through our Credit Facilitys revolving period end date of January 19, 2019. On June 19, 2015, we through Business Loan, entered into certain joinder and assignment
agreements with three new lenders to increase borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility by $30.0 million to $170.0 million. We incurred fees of approximately $0.6 million in connection with this expansion, which are being amortized through our
Credit Facilitys revolving period end date of January 19, 2019.

##### Table of Contents

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 as custodian 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.

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 also generally limits payments on distributions
to our stockholders to the aggregate net investment income and capital gains for each of the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. 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, which equates to $205.0 million as of June 30, 2015, (ii) asset coverage with respect to
senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 200.0%, in accordance with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code.

As of June 30, 2015, and as defined in the performance guaranty of our Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $259.4 million, asset coverage of 221.0%
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, 2015. As of June 30, 2015 we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility, on July 15, 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into an interest rate cap agreement with
KeyBank, effective July 9, 2013 and expiring January 19, 2016, for a notional amount of $35.0 million that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. The one month LIBOR cap is set at
5.0%. We incurred a premium fee of $62 in conjunction with this agreement, which is recorded in other assets on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.As of June 30, 2015 and September 30,
2014, the fair value of our interest rate cap agreement was $0.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have lines of credit 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. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, our unused line of credit commitments totaled $13.6 million and $5.9 million,
respectively.

When investing in certain private equity funds, we may have uncalled capital commitments depending on the agreed upon terms of our
committed ownership interest. These capital commitments usually have a specific date in the future set as a closing date, at which time the commitment is either funded or terminates. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had
uncalled capital commitments related to our partnership interest in Leeds Novamark Capital I, L.P. of $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

The

Of our interest bearing debt investments as of June 30, 2015, 28.7% had a success fee component, which enhances the yield on our debt
investments. Unlike PIK income, we generally recognize success fees as income only when the payment has been received. As a result, as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had aggregate unrecognized success fee receivables on our
accruing

##### Table of Contents

debt investments of $9.1 million and $11.0 million (or approximately $0.43 and $0.52 per common share), respectively, that would be owed to us based on our current portfolio if fully paid off.
Consistent with GAAP, we have not recognized our success fee receivable on our balance sheet or income statement. Due to our success fees contingent nature, there are no guarantees that we will be able to collect all of these success fees or
know the timing of such collections.

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 periods reported. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified our investment valuation policy (the Policy) as our most critical accounting policy, which is described in Note 2Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Additionally, refer to Note 3Investments in the accompanying notes to our accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding fair value measurements and our application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820).

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, are 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 a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act), the Adviser generally uses the average of two corporate level NRSROs risk ratings for such security. For all
other debt securities, the Adviser uses a proprietary risk rating system. While the Adviser seeks to mirror the NRSRO systems, we cannot provide any assurance that the Advisers risk rating system will provide the same risk rating as an NRSRO
for these securities. The Advisers risk rating system is used to estimate the probability of default on debt securities and the expected loss if there is a default. The Advisers risk rating system uses a scale of 0 to >10, with >10
being the lowest probability of default. It is the Advisers understanding that most debt securities of medium-sized companies do not exceed the grade of BBB on an NRSRO scale, so there would be no debt securities in the middle market that
would meet the definition of AAA, AA or A. Therefore, the Advisers scale begins with the designation >10 as the best risk rating which may be equivalent to a BBB from an NRSRO; however, no assurance can be given that a >10 on the
Advisers scale is equal to a BBB or Baa2 on an NRSRO scale. The Advisers risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities we hold. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we
modified our risk rating model to incorporate additional factors in our qualitative and quantitative analysis. While the overall process did not change, we believe the additional factors enhance the quality of the risk ratings of our investments. No
adjustments were made to prior periods as a result of this modification.

The following table reflects risk ratings for all proprietary loans in our
portfolio as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, representing approximately 82.0% and 80.8%, respectively, of the principal balance of all debt investments in our portfolio at the end of each period:

Tax Status

Federal Income Taxes

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

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

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income
Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums, acquisition costs, and amendment fees and the accretion of original issue
discounts (OID), 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 a loans status significantly improves regarding the debtors ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due, or past due principal and
interest are paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current, or, due to a restructuring, the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of June 30, 2015, four portfolio companies were either fully or partially on
non-accrual status with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $49.2 million, or 13.4% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of approximately $10.7 million, or 3.5% of the fair value of
all debt investments in our portfolio. As of September 30, 2014, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with an aggregate debt cost basis of approximately $51.4 million, or 16.1% of the cost basis of all debt investments in our
portfolio, and an aggregate debt fair value of approximately $13.2 million, or 5.2% of the fair value of all debt investments in our portfolio.

##### Table of Contents

We currently hold, and we expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain OID or
paid-in-kind (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. Therefore, 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 of our 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, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had 17 original OID loans, respectively, primarily from the syndicated investments in our portfolio.
We recorded OID income of $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to $59 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The unamortized balance
of OID investments as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, totaled $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had four and three investments, respectively, with a PIK interest
component. We recorded PIK income of $0.3 and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to $80 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We collected
$0 PIK interest in cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other Income Recognition

We generally record success fees upon our receipt of cash. Success fees are contractually due upon a change of control in a portfolio company, typically from
an exit or sale. We recorded an aggregate of $1.7 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted from $0.6 million related to the early payoff of NAAS at a realized gain, $0.3 million prepayment of success
fees by FDF, $0.5 million prepayment of success fees by Defiance, $0.1 million prepayment of success fees by SPL and $0.2 million of success fees related to our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark and the ensuing pay down of our debt
investments in Lindmark at par in September 2013. We recorded an aggregate of $1.6 million in success fees during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted from $0.5 million related to the early payoff of Thibaut at par, $0.5 million
prepayment by FDF and $0.6 million received as a result of our sale of substantially all of the assets in Lindmark in September 2013.

Dividend income on
equity investments is accrued to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if we have the option to collect such amounts in cash. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an aggregate of $0.6 million of
dividend income, which resulted from $0.1 million from our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.2 from our preferred equity investment in Funko and $0.3 million from our preferred equity investment in SPL. During the nine months ended
June 30, 2014, we recorded an aggregate of $1.0 million of dividend income, net of estimated income taxes payable, which resulted from $0.2 million on our preferred equity investment in FDF, $0.7 million on our investment in FedCap and $0.1
million on our preferred equity investment in Funko.

Success fees and dividend income are both recorded in other income in our accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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.

We target to have approximately 10.0% of the loans in our portfolio at fixed rates, with approximately 90.0% made at variable rates or variable rates with a
floor. All of our variable-rate debt investments have rates generally associated with the 30-day LIBOR.

As of June 30, 2015, our portfolio of debt
investments on a principal basis consisted of the following:



|               |  |  |       |  
|-------------- |  |  | ----- | -
|Variable rates |  |  | 84.4  | %
|Fixed rates    |  |  | 15.6  |  
|               |  |  |       |  
|Total:         |  |  | 100.0 | %
|               |  |  |       |  

Pursuant to the terms under our Credit Facility, in July 2013, we, through Business Loan, entered into an interest rate cap
agreement with KeyBank, effective July 9, 2013 and expiring January 19, 2016, for a notional amount of $35.0 million that effectively limits the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. This agreement will
entitle us to receive payments, if any, equal to the amount by which interest payments on the current notional amount at the one month LIBOR exceed the payments on the current notional amount at 5.0%. The agreement therefore helps mitigate our
exposure to increases in interest rates on our borrowings on our Credit Facility, which are at variable rates. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, our interest rate cap agreement had a fair value of $0.

There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 from that
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014, and subsequently amended on December 29, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of
June 30, 2015 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
