PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|------- | --------------------

BASIS OF
PREPARATION

We, Medallion Financial Corp. or the Company, are a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company
organized as a Delaware corporation. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. We are a specialty finance company that has a leading position in
originating, acquiring, and servicing loans that finance taxicab medallions and various types of commercial businesses. A wholly-owned portfolio company of ours, Medallion Bank, also originates consumer loans for the purchase of recreational
vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. Since 1996, the year in which we became a public company, we have increased our taxicab medallion loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 7%, and our commercial loan portfolio at a compound
annual growth rate of 4% (both 10% on a managed basis when combined with Medallion Bank). Since Medallion Bank acquired a consumer loan portfolio and began originating consumer loans in 2004, it has increased its consumer loan portfolio at a
compound annual growth rate of 13%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by Medallion Bank, were $1,026,536,000 as of March 31, 2010, and $1,039,840,000 and $1,069,153,000 as of
December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, and have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 13% from $215,000,000 at the end of 1996. Since our initial public offering in 1996, we have paid dividends in excess of $146,867,000 or $9.40 per
share.

We conduct our business through various wholly-owned investment company subsidiaries including:



| |  |  | Medallion Funding LLC, or Medallion Funding, a Small Business Investment Company, or SBIC, and a regulated investment company, or RIC, our primary
taxicab medallion lending company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Medallion Capital, Inc., or Medallion Capital, an SBIC and a RIC, which conducts a mezzanine financing business; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Freshstart Venture Capital Corp., or Freshstart, an SBIC and a RIC, which originates and services taxicab medallion and commercial loans.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also conduct business through our asset-based lending division, Medallion Business Credit, an originator
of loans to small businesses for the purpose of financing inventory and receivables, which prior to December 31, 2007, was a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary. On December 31, 2007, Medallion Business Credit was merged into us and
ceased to exist as a separate legal entity.

In addition, we conduct business through a wholly-owned portfolio company,
Medallion Bank, a bank regulated by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions which originates taxicab medallion, commercial, and consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities. Medallion Bank generally
provides us with our lowest cost of funds which it raises through bank certificates of deposit issued to its customers. To take advantage of this low cost of funds, we refer a portion of our taxicab medallion and commercial loans to Medallion Bank,
which then originates these loans, which are then serviced by us. We earn referral and servicing fees for these activities. As a non-investment company, Medallion Bank is not consolidated with the Company, which is an investment company under the
1940 Act.

The financial information is divided into two sections. The first section, Item 1, includes our unaudited
consolidated financial statements including related footnotes. The second section, Item 2, consists of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
net assets, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included in Item 1 have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, or for any other interim period, may not be indicative of future performance. These financial statements 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 December 31, 2009.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2010

(1)
ORGANIZATION OF MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

We, Medallion Financial Corp. (the Company), are a
closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware corporation. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The Company conducts
its business through various wholly-owned subsidiaries including its primary operating company, Medallion Funding LLC (MFC), a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) which originates and services taxicab medallion and commercial loans.

On March 26, 2009, the Company formed a new wholly-owned New York limited liability company subsidiary, Medallion Funding LLC. On
February 26, 2010, Medallion Funding Corp. merged into Medallion Funding LLC and following the merger, Medallion Funding LLC was the surviving entity and the successor-in-interest to Medallion Funding Corp.s business. There is no business
or operational change resulting from this corporate restructuring. For federal and state tax purposes, Medallion Funding LLC will be treated as a disregarded entity. Medallion Funding LLC will not independently file any tax return, but will be
subsumed in the tax return of the Company. Medallion Funding LLC will maintain its status as an SBIC and a RIC.

The Company
also conducts business through Medallion Capital, Inc. (MCI), an SBIC which conducts a mezzanine financing business, and Freshstart Venture Capital Corp. (FSVC), an SBIC which originates and services taxicab medallion and commercial loans. MFC, MCI,
and FSVC, as SBICs, are regulated and financed in part by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Company also conducts business through our asset-based lending division, Medallion Business Credit (MBC), an originator of loans to small
businesses for the purpose of financing inventory and receivables.

In December 2008, MFC established a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Taxi Medallion Loan Trust III (Trust III), for the purpose of owning medallion loans originated by MFC or others. Trust III is a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of Trust III, will be
entitled to be satisfied out of Trust IIIs assets prior to any value in Trust III becoming available to Trust IIIs equity holders. The assets of Trust III, aggregating $201,200,000 at March 31, 2010, are not available to pay
obligations of its affiliates or any other party, and the assets of affiliates or any other party are not available to pay obligations of Trust III. Trust IIIs loans are serviced by MFC.

In June 2007, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Medallion Financing Trust I (Fin Trust) for the purpose of issuing
unsecured preferred securities to investors. Fin Trust is a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of Fin Trust, will be entitled to be satisfied out of Fin Trusts assets prior to any value in Fin
Trust becoming available to Fin Trusts equity holders. The assets of Fin Trust, aggregating $36,169,000 at March 31, 2010, are not available to pay obligations of its affiliates or any other party, and the assets of affiliates or any
other party are not available to pay obligations of Fin Trust.

In December 2006, MFC established a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Taxi Medallion Loan Trust II (Trust II), for the purpose of owning medallion loans originated by MFC or others. Trust II was a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of Trust II, would have been entitled
to be satisfied out of Trust IIs assets prior to any value in Trust II becoming available to Trust IIs equity holders. In 2010, Trust II ceased operations and its assets were reduced to $0.

In December 2006, September 2006, and previously in June 2003, MFC through several wholly-owned and newly formed subsidiaries which,
along with an existing subsidiary (together, Medallion Chicago), purchased certain City of Chicago taxicab medallions out of foreclosure which are leased to fleet operators while being held for sale.

A wholly-owned portfolio investment, Medallion Bank, a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured industrial bank, originates
medallion loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities (see Note 3). Medallion Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and
state agencies, and undergoes examinations by those agencies.

Medallion Bank is not an investment company, and therefore, is
not consolidated with the Company, but instead is treated as a portfolio investment. It was initially formed for the primary purpose of originating commercial loans in three categories: 1) loans to finance the purchase of taxicab medallions
(licenses), 2) asset-based commercial loans, and 3) SBA 7(a) loans. The loans are marketed and serviced by Medallion Banks affiliates who have extensive prior experience in these asset groups. Additionally, Medallion Bank began issuing
brokered certificates of deposit in January 2004, and purchased over $84,150,000 of taxicab medallion and asset-based loans from affiliates of the Company. On April 1, 2004, Medallion Bank purchased a consumer loan portfolio from an unrelated
financial institution for consideration of $86,309,000. In the 2004 third quarter, Medallion Bank began originating consumer loans similar to the acquired portfolio, which are serviced by a third party.

In September 2002, MFC established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Taxi Medallion Loan Trust
I (Trust), for the purpose of owning medallion loans originated by MFC or others. The Trust was a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of the Trust, would have been entitled to be satisfied out of the
Trusts assets prior to any value in the Trust becoming available to the Trusts equity holders. In 2009, the Trust ceased operations and its assets were reduced to $0.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US requires
management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be the most critical to an understanding
of the consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect managements best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on
information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in
future impairments of loans receivable, loans held for sale, investments, among other effects.

Principles of
Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, except for Medallion Bank and other portfolio investments. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. As a non-investment company, Medallion Bank is not consolidated with the
Company, which is an investment company under the 1940 Act. See Note 3 for the presentation of financial information for Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash balances are generally held in accounts at large national or regional banking organizations in amounts that frequently exceed the federally insured limits.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (FASB ASC 820), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price (i.e. a price that would be received to sell, as opposed to acquire, an
asset or transfer a liability), and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent external sources and
the reporting entities own assumptions. Further, it specifies that fair value measurement should consider adjustment for risk, such as the risk inherent in the valuation technique or its inputs. See also Notes 2, 11, and 12 to the consolidated
financial statements.

Investment Valuation

The Companys loans, net of participations and any unearned discount, are considered investment securities under the 1940 Act and are
recorded at fair value. As part of the fair value methodology, loans are valued at cost adjusted for any unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Since no ready market exists for these loans, the fair value is determined in good faith by management,
and approved by the Board of Directors. In determining the fair value, the Company and Board of Directors consider factors such as the financial condition of the borrower, the adequacy of the collateral, individual credit risks, historical loss
experience, and the relationships between current and projected market rates and portfolio rates of interest and maturities. Foreclosed properties, which represent collateral received from defaulted borrowers, and which are carried in other assets
on the consolidated balance sheet, are valued similarly.

Equity investments (common stock and stock warrants, including
certain controlled subsidiary portfolio investments) and investment securities (US Treasuries and mortgage backed bonds), in total representing 16% of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are recorded at fair
value, represented as cost, plus or minus unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The fair value of investments that have no ready market are determined in good faith by management, and approved by the Board of Directors, based upon the financial
condition and operating performance of the underlying investee companies as well as general market trends for businesses in the same industry. Included in equity investments were marketable securities of $1,371,000 and

MARCH 31, 2010



$1,212,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and non-marketable securities of $1,805,000 and $1,805,000 in the comparable periods. The $72,598,000 and $72,279,000 related to
portfolio investments in controlled subsidiaries at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were all non-marketable in each period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations, managements estimates of the values of the
investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Our investment in Medallion Bank, as a wholly owned portfolio investment, is also subject to quarterly assessments of fair value. We
conduct a thorough valuation analysis as described previously, and determine whether any factors give rise to a valuation different than recorded book value, including various regulatory restrictions that were established at Medallion Banks
inception, by the FDIC and State of Utah, and also by additional marketplace restrictions, such as on the ability to transfer industrial bank charters. As a result of this valuation process, we used Medallion Banks actual results of operations
as the best estimate of changes in fair value, and recorded the results as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, although changes in these restrictions and other applicable factors could change these conclusions in
the future. See Note 3 for additional information about Medallion Bank.

A majority of the Companys investments consist
of long-term loans to persons defined by SBA regulations as socially or economically disadvantaged, or to entities that are at least 50% owned by such persons. Approximately 67% and 68% of the Companys investment portfolio at March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2009 had arisen in connection with the financing of taxicab medallions, taxicabs, and related assets, of which 75% and 76% were in New York City at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. These loans are secured by
the medallions, taxicabs, and related assets, and are personally guaranteed by the borrowers, or in the case of corporations, are generally guaranteed personally by the owners. A portion of the Companys portfolio (16% at both March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2009) represents loans to various commercial enterprises, in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, wholesaling, administrative and support services, accommodation and food services, and various other
industries. More than 15% of these loans are made primarily in the metropolitan New York City area, with the balance widely scattered across the United States. Investments in controlled unconsolidated subsidiaries, equity investments, and investment
securities were 16%, 1%, and 0% at March 31, 2010 and 15%, 1%, and 0% at December 31, 2009.

On a managed basis,
which includes the investments of Medallion Bank after eliminating the Companys investment in Medallion Bank, medallion loans were 58% and 57% at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (75% in New York City for both periods),
commercial loans were 17% and 18%, and 22% were consumer loans in all 50 states collateralized by recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. Investment securities were 2% at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and equity
investments (including investments in controlled subsidiaries) were 1%.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield
of the related loans. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, net loan origination fees were $74,000 and $41,000. Net amortization income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $71,000 and ($31,000).

Investment securities are purchased from time-to-time in the open market at prices that are greater or lesser than the par
value of the investment. The resulting premium or discount is deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related investment. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no premiums or discounts on investment
securities, and their related income accretion or amortization was immaterial for 2010 and 2009.

Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Taxicab medallion and commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status, and all uncollected accrued interest is reversed, when there is doubt as to the collectability of interest or principal, or if loans are 90 days or more
past due, unless management has determined that they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is generally recognized when cash is received, unless a determination has been made to apply all cash
receipts to principal. At March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009, total nonaccrual loans were $22,546,000, $19,784,000, and $25,173,000, and represented 6%, 5%, and 5% of the gross medallion and commercial loan
portfolio at each period end, and were primarily concentrated in the secured mezzanine portfolio. The amount of interest income on nonaccrual loans that would have been recognized if the loans had been paying in accordance with their original terms
was $7,834,000, $7,114,000, and $4,966,000 as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009, of which $721,000 and $861,000 would have been recognized in the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Loan Sales and Servicing Fee Receivable

The Company accounts for its sales of loans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing
(FASB ASC 860). FASB ASC 860 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. In accordance with FASB ASC 860, we have elected the fair value measurement method for our
servicing assets and liabilities. The principal portion of loans serviced for others by the Company was $338,696,000 and $321,875,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and included $241,383,000 and $229,810,000 of loans serviced for
Medallion Bank. The Company has evaluated the servicing aspect of its business in accordance with FASB ASC 860, most of which relates to servicing assets held by Medallion Bank, and determined that no material servicing asset or liability exists as
of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) and Realized Gains (Losses)
on Investments

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the amount by which the fair value estimated
by the Company is greater (less) than the cost basis of the investment portfolio. Realized gains or losses on investments are generated through sales of investments, foreclosure on specific collateral, and writeoffs of loans or assets acquired in
satisfaction of loans, net of recoveries. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on net investments was $12,341,000, $6,619,000, and $11,803,000 as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. Our investment in
Medallion Bank, a wholly owned portfolio investment, is also subject to quarterly assessments of fair value. We conduct a thorough valuation analysis as described previously, and determine whether any factors give rise to valuation different than
recorded book value, including various regulatory restrictions that were established at Medallion Banks inception, by the FDIC and State of Utah, and also by additional marketplace restrictions, such as on the ability to transfer industrial
bank charters. As a result of this valuation process, we used Medallion Banks actual results of operations as the best estimate of changes in fair value, and recorded the results as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments, although changes in these restrictions and other applicable factors could change these conclusions in the future. See Note 3 for the presentation of financial information for Medallion Bank.

The following tables set forth the changes in our unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, other than investments in
controlled subsidiaries, for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles  Goodwill and Other, the Company tests its goodwill for impairment, and
engages a consultant to help management evaluate its carrying value. The results of this evaluation demonstrated no impairment in goodwill for any period evaluated, and management believes, and the Board of Directors concurs, that there is no
impairment as of March 31, 2010. The Company conducts annual, and if necessary, more frequent, appraisals of its goodwill, and will recognize any impairment in the period any impairment is identified as a charge to operating expenses.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated economic useful life of the improvement. Depreciation and amortization expense was $53,000 and
$71,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred Costs

Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, represents costs associated with obtaining the Companys borrowing facilities,
and is amortized on a straight line basis over the lives of the related financing agreements. Amortization expense was $240,000 and $345,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain costs for
transactions in the process of completion (other than business combinations), including those for potential investments, and the sourcing of other financing alternatives. Upon completion or termination of the transaction, any accumulated amounts
will be amortized against income over an appropriate period, or written off. The amounts on the balance sheet for all of these purposes were $3,735,000, $3,975,000, and $5,720,000 as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and
March 31, 2009.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company and each of its major subsidiaries other than Medallion Bank (the RIC subsidiaries) have qualified to be treated for federal
income tax purposes as regulated investment companies (RICs) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). As RICs, the Company and each of the RIC subsidiaries are not subject to US federal income tax on any gains or investment
company taxable income (which includes, among other things, dividends and interest income reduced by deductible expenses) that it distributes to its shareholders, if at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for that taxable year is
distributed. It is the Companys and the RIC subsidiaries policy to comply with the provisions of the Code. The Companys RIC

qualification is determined on an annual basis, and it qualified and filed its federal tax returns as a RIC for 2008 and 2007, and anticipates qualifying and filing as a RIC for 2009. As a
result, no provisions for income taxes have been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. State and local tax treatment follows the federal model.

Medallion Bank is not a RIC and is taxed as a regular corporation. Fin Trust, Trust II, and Trust III are not subject to federal income
taxation, instead their taxable income is treated as having been earned by the Company and MFC as appropriate.

Net
Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net
increase in net assets resulting from operations available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if option
contracts to issue common stock were exercised, and has been computed after giving consideration to the weighted average dilutive effect of the Companys stock options. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS, which
is a method of recognizing the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted EPS. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

The table below shows the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the above calculations aggregated 1,044,935 and 1,351,060 shares as of March 31,

Stock Compensation

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718), Compensation  Stock Compensation, for its
stock option plans, and accordingly, the Company recognizes the expense of these grants as required. Stock-based employee compensation costs pertaining to stock options is reflected in net increase in net assets resulting from operations, for both
any new grants, as well as for all unvested options outstanding at December 31, 2005, in both cases using the fair values established by usage of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, expensed over the vesting period of the underlying option.

The Company elected the modified prospective transition method in applying ASC 718. Under this method, the provisions of ASC
718 apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption, as well as for all unvested options outstanding at December 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 0 shares of stock-based
compensation awards, and recognized $55,000 and $62,000, or $0.00 per diluted common share for each period, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the option grants. As of March 31, 2010, the total remaining unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $216,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next nine quarters (see Note 5).

Derivatives

The Company manages its exposure to increases in market rates of interest by periodically purchasing interest rate caps to lock in
the cost of funds of its variable-rate debt in the event of a rapid run up in interest rates. During 2009, the Company entered into contracts to purchase interest rate caps on $252,000,000 notional value of principal from various multinational
banks, of which $170,000,000 are active with termination dates ranging to June 2011. The caps provide for payments to the Company if various LIBOR thresholds are exceeded during the cap terms. The caps were fully expensed in 2009, including $7,000
in the 2009 first quarter, and are carried at $0 on the balance sheet at March 31, 2010.

The following paragraphs
summarize the accounting and reporting policies of Medallion Bank, and provide additional information relating to the tables presented above.

Investment securities are purchased from time-to-time in the open market at prices that are greater or lesser than the par value of the
investment. The resulting premium or discount is deferred and recognized on a level yield basis as an adjustment to the yield of the related investment. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net premium on investment securities
totaled $162,000 and $185,000, and $24,000 and $12,000 was amortized into interest income for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

MARCH 31, 2010



Medallion Banks policies regarding nonaccrual of medallion and commercial loans
are similar to those of the Company. The consumer portfolio has different characteristics compared to commercial loans, typified by a larger number of lower dollar loans that have similar characteristics. These loans are placed on nonaccrual, when
they become 90 days past due, or earlier if they enter bankruptcy, and are charged off in their entirety when deemed uncollectible, or when they become 120 days past due, whichever occurs first, at which time appropriate collection and recovery
efforts against both the borrower and the underlying collateral are initiated. At March 31, 2010, $2,187,000 or 1% of consumer loans, $1,124,000 or 2% of commercial loans, and $0 or 0% of medallion loans were on nonaccrual, compared to
$3,321,000 or 2% of consumer loans, $1,124,000 or 2% of commercial loans, and $0 or 0% of medallion loans on nonaccrual at December 31, 2009, and $2,192,000 or 1% of consumer loans, $3,323,000 or 4% of commercial loans, and $0 or 0% of
medallion loans on nonaccrual at March 31, 2009. The amount of interest income on nonaccrual loans that would have been recognized if the loans had been paying in accordance with their original terms was $114,000, $160,000, and $110,000 as of
March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009.

Medallion Banks loan and investment
portfolios are assessed for collectability on a monthly basis, and a loan loss allowance is established for any realizability concerns on specific investments, and general reserves have also been established for any unknown factors. The consumer
portfolio purchase was net of unrealized depreciation of $4,244,000, or 5.0% of the balances outstanding, and included a purchase premium of approximately $5,678,000, of which $57,000 and $93,000 was amortized into interest income in the quarters
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The premium amount on the balance sheet was $470,000 and $528,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Adjustments to the fair value of this portfolio are based on the historical loan loss data
obtained from the seller, adjusted for changes in delinquency trends and other factors as described previously in Note 2.

In
January 2004, Medallion Bank commenced raising deposits to fund the purchase of various affiliates loan portfolios. The deposits were raised through the use of investment brokerage firms who package deposits qualifying for FDIC insurance into
pools that are sold to Medallion Bank. The rates paid on the deposits are highly competitive with market rates paid by other financial institutions, and include a brokerage fee of 0.15% to 0.50%, depending on the maturity of the deposit, which is
capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective pool. The total amount capitalized at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $675,000 and $670,000, and $250,000 and $253,000 was amortized to interest expense
during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Interest on the deposits is accrued daily and paid monthly, semiannually, or at maturity.

The outstanding balances of fixed rate borrowings were as follows:

Medallion Bank is subject to
various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and State of Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Medallion Banks and our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Medallion Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Medallion Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Medallion Banks capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgments by Medallion Bank regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

FDIC-insured banks, including Medallion Bank, are subject to certain federal laws, which impose various legal limitations on the extent
to which banks may finance or otherwise supply funds to certain of their affiliates. In particular, Medallion Bank is subject to certain restrictions on any extensions of credit to, or other covered transactions, such as certain purchases of assets,
with the Company or its affiliates.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require
Medallion Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations (set forth in the table below). Additionally, as conditions of granting Medallion Banks application for federal deposit insurance, the FDIC ordered that
beginning paid-in-capital funds of not less than $22,000,000 be provided, that the Tier I Leverage Capital to total assets ratio, as defined, be not less than 15%, and that an adequate allowance for loan losses be maintained. As a result, to
facilitate maintenance of the capital ratio requirement and to provide the necessary capital for continued growth, the Company periodically makes capital contributions to Medallion Bank, including $1,750,000 contributed in the 2009 first quarter.
Separately, Medallion Bank paid dividends to the Company of $1,000,000 in each of the 2010 and 2009 first quarters.

On
February 27, 2009, Medallion Bank issued and sold, and the US Treasury purchased under the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the CPP), (1) 11,800 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A,
and (2)

a warrant, which was immediately exercised, to purchase up to 590 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $11,800,000 in cash. On December 22, 2009, Medallion Bank issued and sold, and the US Treasury purchased under the CPP, (1) 9,698 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C,
and (2) a warrant, which was immediately exercised, to purchase up to 55 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,698,000 in cash. The
liquidation preference of each Series is $1,000 per share.

The securities were sold in private placements exempt from SEC
registration.

Non-cumulative dividends on the Series A and C shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of
5% per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter, and the dividends on the Series B and D shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 9% per annum, both, if, as, and when declared by
Medallion Banks Board of Directors out of funds legally available thereof. The Preferred Shares have no maturity date and rank senior to Medallion Banks common stock (and pari passu with one another) with respect to the payment of
dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of Medallion Bank. Medallion Banks Articles of Amendments provide that, subject to the approval of the FDIC, the Preferred Shares are redeemable at
the option of Medallion Bank at 100% of their liquidation preference plus declared and unpaid dividends, provided, however, that the Preferred Shares may be redeemed prior to February 27, 2012 and December 22, 2012, respectively, only if
(i) Medallion Bank has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, as defined, of at least $3,097,500 and $2,438,250, respectively, and (ii) the aggregate redemption price does not exceed the aggregate net
proceeds from such offerings. The Series B shares cannot be redeemed until the Series A shares have been redeemed and the Series D shares cannot be redeemed until the Series A, B, and C shares have been redeemed.

On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ARRA) was signed into law. The ARRA, among other
things, directs the US Treasury to permit CPP participants to redeem the preferred stock issued under the CPP without first requiring a Qualified Equity Offering, upon consultation with the appropriate Federal banking agency.

The agreements between Medallion Bank and the US Treasury pursuant to which the Preferred Shares and the Warrants were sold contain
limitations on the payment of common stock dividends to a quarterly rate of $1.00 per share or $1,000,000, and on Medallion Banks ability to repurchase its common stock, and subjects Medallion Bank and the Company to certain of the executive
compensation limitations and requirements included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the EESA). As a condition to the closing of the transactions, the Company and its senior executive officers have agreed to all terms and
conditions.

The final rule promulgated pursuant to Section 111 of the EESA, as amended by the ARRA, prescribes certain
standards for compensation and corporate governance for CPP participants (which the Company believes to include parent companies such as the Company), which include, among other things, (i) the repayment by the senior executive officers and the
next twenty most highly compensated employees of any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation if the payment was based on materially inaccurate financial information or other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria; (ii) the
prohibition of any payment for departure from a CPP participant or change of control event of a CPP participant, other than a payment for services performed or benefits accrued, to the senior executive officers and the next five most highly
compensated employees; (iii) the prohibition of the payment or accrual of any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation to a CPP participants most highly compensated employee except through restricted stock with delayed vesting
and subject to dollar limits; and (iv) the prohibition from providing tax gross-ups or other reimbursements for the payment of taxes to senior executive officers and the next twenty most highly compensated employees relating to severance
payments, perquisites, or any other form of compensation. The final rule further requires (i) at least once every six months, the compensation committees of CPP participants to meet to discuss, evaluate, and review the CPP participants
compensation plans and the risks these plans pose to the CPP participant and annually in the CPP participants proxy statement describe how such risks were limited and certify that the compensation committee has completed its reviews of the
plans and provide such disclosures and certifications to the Treasury; (ii) CPP participants to disclose to the Treasury and their primary federal regulator on an annual basis, perquisites with a total value over $25,000 for any employee who is
subject to the bonus prohibition; (iii) CPP participants to disclose to the Treasury and their primary federal regulator whether they have engaged a compensation consultant and indicate the types of services the compensation consultant or any
of its affiliates has provided during the past three years, including any benchmarking or comparisons employed to identify certain percentile levels of compensation; (iv) CPP participants to adopt an excessive or luxury expenditures
policy; (v) CPP participants to permit stockholders to vote on a non-binding resolution approving the institutions compensation of executives; and (vi) the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of CPP
participants to annually certify compliance of the CPP participant with Section 111 of EESA and provide these certifications as an exhibit to the CPP participants annual report on Form 10-K and to the Treasury.

by Trust IIIs assets. MFC is the servicer of the loans owned by Trust III. The DZ line includes a borrowing base covenant and rapid amortization in certain circumstances. In addition, if certain financial tests are not met, MFC can be replaced
as the servicer. The DZ line matures in December 2013. The interest rate is the lesser of a pooled short-term commercial paper rate (which approximates LIBOR), 30 day LIBOR (0.25% at March 31, 2010) plus 0.75%, or 90 day LIBOR (0.29% at

Trust IIs assets. MFC was the servicer of the loans owned by Trust II. The Citi line included a borrowing base covenant and rapid amortization in certain circumstances. In addition, if certain financial tests were not met, MFC could have been
replaced as the servicer. The interest rate was a pooled short-term commercial paper rate, which approximated LIBOR (0.25% at March 31, 2010), plus 1.07% with a facility fee of 1.50% on the aggregate Citi line, and prior to November 2009 was
plus 0.82% with a facility fee of 0.15% on the aggregate Citi line, and prior to November 2008 was plus 0.47% with a facility fee of 0.15%.

(D) COVENANT COMPLIANCE

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into agreements, or are subject to regulatory requirements, that
result in loan restrictions. Certain of our debt agreements contain restrictions that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including debt to equity and minimum net worth. In addition, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary
Medallion Bank is subject to regulatory requirements related to the declaration of dividends (see Note 3).

(5) STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has a stock option plan (2006 Stock Option Plan) available to grant both incentive and nonqualified stock
options to employees. The 2006 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors on February 15, 2006 and shareholders on June 16, 2006, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
At March 31, 2010, 217,067 shares of the Companys common stock remained available for future grants. The 2006 Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The option price per share may not be
less than the current market value of the Companys common stock on the date the option is granted. The term and vesting periods of the options are determined by the Compensation Committee, provided that the maximum term of an option may not
exceed a period of ten years.

The Companys Board of Directors approved a new non-employee director stock option plan
(the 2006 Director Plan) on February 15, 2006, which was approved by shareholders on June 16, 2006, and on which exemptive relief to implement the 2006 Director Plan was received from the SEC on August 28, 2007. The 2006 Director Plan
provides for an automatic grant of options to purchase 9,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an Eligible Director upon election to the Board, with an adjustment for directors who are elected to serve less than a full term. A total of
100,000 shares of the Companys common stock are issuable under the 2006 Director Plan. At March 31, 2010, 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock remained available for future grants. The option price per share may not be less
than the current market value of the Companys common stock on the date the option is granted. Options granted under the 2006 Director Plan are exercisable annually, as defined in the 2006 Director Plan. The term of the options may not exceed
ten years.

The Companys Board of Directors approved the 2009 Employee Restricted Stock Plan (the Employee Restricted
Stock Plan) on April 16, 2009. The Employee Restricted Stock Plan will become effective upon the Companys receipt of exemptive relief from the SEC and approval of the Employee Restricted Stock Option Plan by the Companys
shareholders. The terms of the Employee Restricted Stock Plan provide for grants of restricted stock awards to the Companys employees. A grant of restricted stock is a grant of shares of the Companys common stock that, at the time of
issuance, is subject to certain forfeiture provisions, and thus are restricted as to transferability until such forfeiture restrictions have lapsed. A total of 800,000 shares of the Companys common stock are issuable under the Employee
Restricted Stock Plan. Awards under the 2009 Employee Plan are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Employee Restricted Stock Plan. The Employee Restricted Stock Plan will terminate when all shares of common stock authorized for
delivery under the Employee Restricted Stock Plan have been delivered and the forfeiture restrictions on all awards have lapsed, or by action of the Board of Directors pursuant to the Employee Restricted Stock Plan, whichever first occurs.

The Companys Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Director Plan (the Amended Director Plan) on
April 16, 2009, which was approved by the Companys shareholders on June 5, 2009. The Amended Director Plan will become effective upon the Companys receipt of exemptive relief from the SEC. The Amended Director Plan is intended
to amend and restate the 2006 Director Plan by increasing the maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that will be available for issuance under the Amended Director Plan from 100,000 to 200,000. Under the Amended Director Plan,
unless otherwise determined by a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of directors who are not eligible for grants under the Amended Director Plan, the Company will grant options to purchase 9,000 shares of the Companys common stock
to an Eligible Director upon election to the Board, with an adjustment for directors who are elected to serve less than a full term. The option price per share may not be less

Amended Director Plan. The term of the options may not exceed ten years.

The Companys 1996 Stock Option Plan and 1996
Director Plan terminated on May 21, 2006 and no additional shares are available for future issuance. At March 31, 2010, 1,459,265 shares of the Companys common stock were outstanding under the 1996 and 2006 plans, of which 1,103,034
shares were exercisable.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the 2010 and 2009 first quarters. The following assumption categories are used to determine the value of any grants.

(6) SEGMENT REPORTING

We have one business segment, our lending and investing operations. This segment originates and services medallion, secured commercial,
and consumer loans, and invests in both marketable and nonmarketable securities.

(7) NONINTEREST INCOME AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

The major components of noninterest income were as follows:





|                         |  |                              |     |      |   |

|Servicing fees           |  | $                            | 635 |      | $ | 417
|Prepayment penalties     |  |                              | 91  |      |   | 138
|Late charges             |  |                              | 44  |      |   | 60 
|Other                    |  |                              | 26  |      |   | 84 
|                         |  |                              |     |      |   |    
|Total noninterest income |  | $                            | 796 |      | $ | 699



The increase in servicing fees in 2010 primarily reflected the fees earned on the larger serviced Medallion Bank portfolio. Prepayment
penalties decreased in the 2010 first quarter compared to the 2009 first quarter due to a lower level of prepayment activity. The higher other income in 2009 first quarter included miscellaneous fee income received from portfolio companies and
management fees paid by SPAC.

The major components of other operating expenses were as follows:





|                                           |  |                              |     |   |      |   |

|Travel, meals, and entertainment           |  |                              | 162 |   |      |   | 213

|Depreciation and amortization              |  |                              | 53  |   |      |   | 71   
|Insurance                                  |  |                              | 49  |   |      |   | 70   
|Other expenses                             |  |                              | 280 |   |      |   | 262  
|                                           |  |                              |     |   |      |   |      
|Total operating expenses                   |  | $                            | 299 |   |      | $ | 1,069



Loan collection and other investment costs decreased reflecting a $495,000 expense reversal related to the costs of winding up the
operations of the SPACs in the 2010 first quarter that were reclassified to realized losses on investments, and $217,000 that was reversed as a result of favorable negotiations with the creditors of SPAC. Miscellaneous taxes were higher in the
2010 first quarter due to higher franchise and excise taxes. Travel, meals, and entertainment decreased due to a decrease in investment development activities.

(9) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic
820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (FASB ASU 2010-06). FASB ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures  Overall, and requires new disclosures related to the transfers in and out of
Level 1 and 2, as well as requiring that a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements rather than as one net number. Additionally, FASB ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 by clarifying existing
disclosures related to level of disaggregation as well as disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. FASB ASU 2010-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases,
sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, these disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASU
2010-06, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of FASB ASU 2010-06 related to Level 3 roll forward of
activity to have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations, as it is a disclosure standard.

(10) RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS

Certain directors, officers, and shareholders of the Company are also directors and officers of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, MFC, MCI, FSVC, and Medallion Bank, as well as of certain portfolio investment companies. Officer salaries are set by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to various regulatory constraints imposed by the TARP
program (see Note 3).

A member of the Board of Directors of the Company since 1996 is also of counsel in the Companys
primary law firm. Amounts paid to the law firm were $98,000 and $193,000 for the 2010 and 2009 first quarters.

SPAC

Included in investments in controlled subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 was $6,961,000 of investments in and loans to a special
purpose acquisition company, Sports Properties Acquisition Corp. (the SPAC), 18%-owned by the Company, which consummated its initial public offering (IPO) in January 2008. Immediately prior to the IPO, the Company purchased warrants for $5,900,000
from the SPAC in a private placement which would have allowed it to acquire 5,900,000 additional shares of common stock in the future under various conditions and restrictions. The SPAC was unable to consummate an approved business combination
within 24 months of the IPO, as a result, the Companys entire investment in the SPAC became worthless in January 2010, and was therefore fully reserved for with a $6,961,000 charge to unrealized depreciation during the year ended
December 31, 2009, and was fully written off to realized losses in the 2010 first quarter. All of the assets of the SPAC have been used to repay the public stockholders.

The Company had entered into a consulting agreement with ProEminent Sports, whose principal acted as a consultant to the Company for
sports related investments and, included within the scope of his duties, also provided services to the SPAC, including serving as its Chief Executive Officer, and assisting generally with the SPACs offering and business combination. The
Company had paid ProEminent Sports a monthly fee of $20,000, which during 2009 was reduced to $10,000, and then $0. The Company had previously entered into a consulting agreement with GamePlan, LLC which was terminated as of June 1, 2008, when
the SPAC entered into its own consulting agreement with GamePlan, LLC. The Company had paid GamePlan, LLC a monthly fee of $10,000.

The Company had agreed to indemnify the SPAC in the event of the SPACs liquidation for all claims of any vendors, service
providers, or other entities that are owed money by the SPAC for services rendered or contracted for, or for products sold to the SPAC, including claims of any prospective acquisition targets. At December 31, 2009, the SPACs liabilities
exceeded its cash on hand by $1,581,000. The SPAC is negotiating these liabilities downwards, seeking forbearance from those associated with a failed deal, and during the 2010 first quarter, $495,000 of the expenses were paid and $217,000 were
forgiven. However, since the result of the balance of the negotiations cannot be anticipated, the Company has accrued $884,000 to cover the balance of the SPACs shortfall.

Certain of the Companys officers and directors also served as officers and directors of the SPAC, and in that role entered into
agreements with the SPAC and its underwriter(s) to present to the SPAC, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, opportunities to acquire entities, until the earlier of the SPACs consummation of a business combination, the
SPACs liquidation, or until such time as they cease to be an officer or director of the SPAC. The Company entered into a similar agreement.

SPAC 2

Included in deferred costs in other assets at December 31, 2009 was $759,000 of investments in and loans to a special purpose
acquisition company, National Security Solutions, Inc. (SPAC 2), 74%-owned by the Company, which was in organization prior to registration with the SEC to register units for sale in an initial public offering. As a result of the market conditions
which led to the failure of the SPAC, it was determined to cease activities related to SPAC 2, and as a result, the investment was fully reserved for with a $759,000 charge to unrealized depreciation during the year ended December 31, 2009, and
was fully written off to realized losses in the 2010 first quarter. In addition, the Company has accrued $25,000 to fully cover any shortfall in SPAC 2s ability to cover any residual expenses.

(11) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments,
whether assets, liabilities, or off-balance-sheet commitments, if practicable. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. Fair value estimates that were derived from broker
quotes

cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

(a) Investments -The Companys investments are recorded at the estimated fair value of such investments.

(b) Floating rate borrowings -Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

(c) Commitments to extend credit -The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and present creditworthiness of the counter parties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also includes a consideration of the
difference between the current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of these off-balance-sheet instruments was not material.

(d) Fixed rate borrowings -The fair value of the debentures payable to the SBA is estimated based on current market interest
rates for similar debt.

(12) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company accounts for substantially all of its financial instruments at fair value or
considers fair value in its measurement, in accordance with the accounting guidance for investment companies. See Note 2 sections Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities and Investment Valuation for a description of our
valuation methodology which is unchanged during 2010.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its
financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3).

As required by FASB ASC Topic 820, when the
inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
For example, a level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (level 1 and 2) and unobservable (level 3). Therefore gains and losses for such assets and liabilities categorized within the level 3 table below may include
changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (level 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (level 3).

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation
techniques as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for
identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, exchange-traded derivatives, most US Government and agency securities, and certain other
sovereign government obligations).

Level 2.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in
markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

MARCH 31, 2010



| | A) | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (for example, restricted stock);
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | B) | Quoted price for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (for example, corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | C) | Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including
interest rate and currency swaps); and
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | D) | Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of
the asset or liability (examples include certain residential and commercial mortgage-related assets, including loans, securities, and derivatives).
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are
both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect managements own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the assets or liability (examples include certain private
equity investments, certain residential and commercial mortgage-related assets (including loans, securities, and derivatives), and long-dated or complex derivatives including certain equity derivatives and long-dated options on gas and power).

A review of fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation
inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which
the reclassifications occur.

The following tables present Medallions fair value hierarchy for those assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 29, 2010, the Companys board of directors declared a $0.15 per share common stock dividend, payable on May 28,
2010 to shareholders of record on May 21, 2010.

On April 27, 2010, MFC extended its revolving note agreement with
New York Commercial Bank to June 1, 2010.



|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

We are a
specialty finance company that has a leading position in originating, acquiring, and servicing loans that finance taxicab medallions and various types of commercial businesses. A wholly-owned portfolio company of ours, Medallion Bank, also
originates consumer loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. Since 1996, the year in which we became a public company, we have increased our taxicab medallion loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate
of 7%, and our commercial loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 4% (both 10% on a managed basis when combined with Medallion Bank). Since Medallion Bank acquired a consumer loan portfolio and began originating consumer loans in 2004, it
has increased its consumer loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 13%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by Medallion Bank, were $1,026,536,000 as of March 31,
2010, and $1,039,840,000 and $1,069,153,000 as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, and have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 13% from $215,000,000 at the end of 1996. Since our initial public offering in 1996, we have paid
dividends in excess of $146,867,000 or $9.40 per share.

We conduct our business through various wholly-owned investment
company subsidiaries including:



| |  |  | Medallion Funding, an SBIC and a RIC, our primary taxicab lending company;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Medallion Capital, an SBIC and a RIC, which conducts a mezzanine financing business; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Freshstart, an SBIC and a RIC, which originates and services taxicab medallion and commercial loans.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also conduct business through our asset-based lending division, Medallion Business Credit, an originator of loans to small businesses
for the purpose of financing inventory and receivables, which prior to December 31, 2007, was a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary. On December 31, 2007, Medallion Business Credit was merged into us and ceased to exist as a
separate legal entity.

In addition, we conduct business through a wholly-owned portfolio company, Medallion Bank, a bank
regulated by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions which originates taxicab medallion, commercial, and consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities. Medallion Bank generally provides us with our lowest
cost of funds which it raises through bank certificates of deposit issued to its customers. To take advantage of this low cost of funds, we refer a portion of our taxicab medallion and commercial loans to Medallion Bank, which then originates these
loans, which are serviced by us. We earn referral and servicing fees for these activities.



Realized gains or losses on investments are recognized when the investments are sold or written off. The realized gains or losses
represent the difference between the proceeds received from the disposition of portfolio assets, if any, and the cost of such portfolio assets. In addition, changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments are recorded and represent
the net change in the estimated fair values of the portfolio assets at the end of the period as compared with their estimated fair values at the beginning of the period. Generally, realized gains (losses) on investments and changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments are inversely related. When an appreciated asset is sold to realize a gain, a decrease in the previously recorded

unrealized appreciation occurs. Conversely, when a loss previously recorded as unrealized depreciation is realized by the sale or other disposition of a depreciated portfolio asset, the
reclassification of the loss from unrealized to realized causes a decrease in net unrealized depreciation and an increase in realized loss.

The credit markets are undergoing a crisis which has disrupted a wide range of traditional financing sources. The crisis has made it
increasingly difficult and significantly more expensive through higher credit spreads for finance companies to obtain and renew financing. Continued turmoil in the credit markets could limit our access to funds and restrict us from continuing our
current operating strategy or implementing new operating strategies. If funds are available to us, we anticipate that our cost of funds will increase as we obtain new financing.

The credit crisis has also caused many financial institutions to record significant write-downs, mostly on their residential mortgage
related assets and structured investment vehicles and due to unsound lending practices. We are not involved in these types of transactions and always understand the importance of proper underwriting. Nonetheless, the judgments used by management in
applying the critical accounting policies discussed herein may be affected by a further and prolonged deterioration in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results. Subsequent evaluations of our loan portfolio
and other investments, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in changes to the fair value of the investments, including a decrease in the fair value. In addition, the fair value of investments in our portfolio may be negatively
impacted by illiquidity or dislocation in marketplaces resulting in depressed market prices.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

Total Portfolio Yield

The weighted average yield of the total portfolio at March 31, 2010 was 7.12% (7.46% for the loan portfolio), a decrease of 10 basis
points from 7.22% at December 31, 2009, and a decrease of 37 basis points from 7.49% at March 31, 2009. The weighted average yield of the total managed portfolio at March 31, 2010 was 9.23%, (9.44% for the loan portfolio), a decrease
of 12 basis points from 9.35% at December 31, 2009, and a decrease of 4 basis points from 9.27% at March 31, 2009. The decreases from 2009 reflected the general market condition of falling interest rates, the changes in the portfolio mix,
and portfolio repricing.

Medallion Loan Portfolio

Our medallion loans comprised 67% of the net portfolio of $460,792,000 at March 31, 2010, compared to 68% of the net portfolio of
$475,133,000 at December 31, 2009, and 70% of $569,078,000 at March 31, 2009. Our managed medallion loans of $482,345,000 comprised 58% of the net managed portfolio of $837,087,000 at March 31, 2010, compared to 57% of the net managed
portfolio of $846,542,000 at December 31, 2009, and 57% of $912,732,000 at March 31, 2009. The medallion loan portfolio decreased by $10,419,000 or 3% in 2010 (an increase of $258,000 on a managed basis), primarily reflecting loan payoffs
and the sale of participation interests to third parties. Total medallion loans serviced for third parties were $106,995,000, $102,307,000, and $64,018,000 at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009.

The weighted average yield of the medallion loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 was 6.21%, a decrease of 2 basis points from 6.23% at
December 31, 2009, and a decrease of 20 basis points from 6.41% at March 31, 2009. The weighted average yield of the managed medallion loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 was 6.18%, a decrease of 2 basis points from 6.20% at
December 31, 2009, and a decrease of 23 basis points from 6.41% at March 31, 2009. The decrease in yield primarily reflected the impact of falling interest rates in the economy and the effects of borrower refinancings. At March 31,
2010, 25% of the medallion loan portfolio represented loans outside New York, compared to 24% at December 31, 2009 and 25% at March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, 25% of the managed medallion loan portfolio represented loans outside New
York, compared to 25% at December 31, 2009 and 26% at March 31, 2009. We continue to focus our efforts on originating higher yielding medallion loans outside the New York market.

Commercial Loan Portfolio

Our commercial loans represented 16% of the net investment portfolio as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and
March 31, 2009, and were 17%, 18%, and 19% on a managed basis. Commercial loans decreased by $4,400,000 or 6% during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (decreased $3,424,000 or 2% on a managed basis), primarily reflecting unrealized
depreciation increases in the mezzanine loan portfolio. Net commercial loans serviced by third parties were $12,814,000 at March 31, 2010, $13,376,000 at December 31, 2009, and $8,765,000 at March 31, 2009.

The weighted average yield of the commercial loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 was
12.21%, a decrease of 50 basis points from 12.71% at December 31, 2009, and an increase of 13 basis points from 12.08% at March 31, 2009. The weighted average yield of the managed commercial loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 was 9.20%,
a decrease of 30 basis points from 9.50% at December 31, 2009, and an increase of 10 basis points from 9.10% at March 31, 2009. The decrease from year end reflects rate reductions in the mezzanine loan portfolio related to certain
restructurings. We continue to originate adjustable-rate and floating-rate loans tied to the prime rate to help mitigate our interest rate risk in a rising interest rate environment. At March 31, 2010, variable-rate loans represented
approximately 17% of the commercial portfolio, compared to 17% and 21% at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, and were 56%, 55%, and 57% on a managed basis. Although this strategy initially produces a lower yield, we believe that this
strategy mitigates interest rate risk by better matching our earning assets to their adjustable-rate funding sources.

Consumer Loan Portfolio

Our managed consumer loans, all of which are held in the portfolio managed by Medallion Bank, represented 22%, 22% and 21% of the managed
net investment portfolio as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. Medallion Bank originates adjustable rate consumer loans secured by recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers located in all 50
states. The portfolio is serviced by a third party subsidiary of a major commercial bank.

The weighted average gross yield of
the managed consumer loan portfolio was 17.93% at March 31, 2010, compared to 17.96% and 18.14% at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Adjustable rate loans represented 85% of the managed consumer portfolio at March 31, 2010,
compared to 85% and 88% at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009.

Delinquency and Loan Loss Experience

We generally follow a practice of discontinuing the accrual of interest income on our loans that are in arrears as to
interest payments for a period of 90 days or more. We deliver a default notice and begin foreclosure and liquidation proceedings when management determines that pursuit of these remedies is the most appropriate course of action under the
circumstances. A loan is considered to be delinquent if the borrower fails to make a payment on time; however, during the course of discussion on delinquent status, we may agree to modify the payment terms of the loan with a borrower that cannot
make payments in accordance with the original loan agreement. For loan modifications, the loan will only be returned to accrual status if all past due interest payments are brought fully current. For credit that is collateral based, we evaluate the
anticipated net residual value we would receive upon foreclosure of such loans, if necessary. There can be no assurance, however, that the collateral securing these loans will be adequate in the event of foreclosure. For credit that is cash
flow-based, we assess our collateral position, and evaluate most of these relationships as ongoing businesses, expecting to locate and install a new operator to run the business and reduce the debt.

For the consumer loan portfolio, the process to repossess the collateral is started at 60 days past due. If the collateral is not located
and the account reaches 120 days delinquent, the account is charged off to realized losses. If the collateral is repossessed, a realized loss is recorded to write the collateral down to 75% of its net realizable value, and the collateral is sent to
auction. When the collateral is sold, the net auction proceeds are applied to the account, and any remaining balance is written off as a realized loss, and any excess proceeds are recorded as a realized gain. Proceeds collected on charged off
accounts are recorded as realized gains. All collection, repossession, and recovery efforts are handled on behalf of Medallion Bank by the servicer.

The following table shows the trend in loans 90 days or more past due:

In general, collection efforts
since the establishment of our collection department have contributed to the reduction in overall delinquencies of medallion and other secured commercial loans. As a result, medallion and commercial loan delinquencies have remained relatively flat.
The decrease in secured mezzanine financing from a year ago reflects collection efforts and loan writeoffs and restructurings. Due to the slow economy, Medallion Bank also experienced higher consumer delinquencies over the

last year due to bankruptcies and job losses. We are actively working with each delinquent borrower to bring them current, and believe that any potential loss exposure is reflected in our
mark-to-market estimates on each loan. Although there can be no assurances as to changes in the trend rate and further negative changes in the economy, management believes that any loss exposures are properly reflected in reported asset values.

We monitor delinquent loans for possible exposure to loss by analyzing various factors, including the value of the collateral
securing the loan and the borrowers prior payment history. Under the 1940 Act, our loan portfolio must be recorded at fair value or marked-to-market. Unlike other lending institutions, we are not permitted to establish reserves for
loan losses. Instead, the valuation of our portfolio is adjusted quarterly to reflect our estimate of the current realizable value of our loan portfolio. Since no ready market exists for this portfolio, fair value is subject to the good faith
determination of management and the approval of our Board of Directors. Because of the subjectivity of these estimates, there can be no assurance that in the event of a foreclosure or the sale of portfolio loans we would be able to recover the
amounts reflected on our balance sheet.

In determining the value of our portfolio, management and the Board of Directors may
take into consideration various factors such as the financial condition of the borrower and the adequacy of the collateral. For example, in a period of sustained increases in market interest rates, management and the Board of Directors could
decrease its valuation of the portfolio if the portfolio consists primarily of long-term, fixed-rate loans. Our valuation procedures are designed to generate values that approximate that which would have been established by market forces, and are
therefore subject to uncertainties and variations from reported results. Based upon these factors, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is determined, or the amount by which our estimate of the current realizable value of our
portfolio is above or below our cost basis.

The following tables set forth the changes in our unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on investments, other than investments in controlled subsidiaries, for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Investment in Medallion Bank and Other Controlled Subsidiaries

Investment in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were 16%, 15%, and 13% of our total portfolio at March 31,
2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. The portfolio company investments primarily represent the wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries of ours, substantially all of which is represented by our investment in Medallion Bank, a
non-pass-through, taxpaying entity. We are currently in discussions with the IRS to obtain LLC tax treatment for Medallion Bank, which would provide pass-through taxation for our shareholders, and which has already been agreed to by the
State of Utah. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts, but if we are successful, this treatment would reduce taxes and increase the reported net income of Medallion Bank. In addition, to facilitate maintenance of Medallion
Banks capital ratio requirement and to provide the necessary capital for continued growth, we periodically make capital contributions to Medallion Bank, including $1,750,000 contributed in the 2009 first quarter. Separately, Medallion Bank
paid dividends to us of $1,000,000 in each of the 2010 and 2009 first quarters. See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about these investments.

Equity Investments

Equity investments were 1% of our total portfolio at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. Equity
investments were less than 1% of our total managed portfolio at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. Equity investments are comprised of common stock, partnership interests, and warrants.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were 0% of our total portfolio at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009.
Investment securities were 2% of our total managed portfolio at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. The investment securities are primarily adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities purchased by Medallion Bank
to better utilize required cash liquidity.

Trend in Interest Expense

Our interest expense is driven by the interest rates payable on our short-term credit facilities with banks, bank certificates of deposit,
fixed-rate, long-term debentures issued to the SBA, and other short-term notes payable. The establishment of the Merrill Lynch Commercial Financial Corp line of credit in September 2002 (fully paid off in December 2008), and its favorable subsequent
renegotiations had the effect of substantially reducing our cost of funds. We established additional medallion lending relationships with DZ Bank in December 2008, and with Citibank in December 2006 (fully paid off in March 2010) that provided for
growth in the portfolio at generally lower rates than under prior facilities. In addition, Medallion Bank began raising brokered bank certificates of deposit during 2004, which were at our lowest borrowing costs. As a result of Medallion Bank
raising funds through certificates of deposits as previously noted, we were able to realign the ownership of some of our medallion loans and related assets to Medallion Bank allowing us and our subsidiaries to use cash generated through these
transactions to retire debt with higher interest rates. In addition, Medallion Bank is able to bid on these deposits at a wide variety of maturity levels which allows for improved interest rate management strategies.

Our cost of funds is primarily driven by the rates paid on our various debt instruments and their relative mix, and changes in the levels
of average borrowings outstanding. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the terms of all outstanding debt. Our debentures issued to the SBA typically have terms of ten years.

##### Table of Contents

We measure our borrowing costs as our aggregate interest expense for all of our
interest-bearing liabilities divided by the average amount of such liabilities outstanding during the period. The following table shows the average borrowings and related borrowing costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Our
average balances decreased and Medallion Banks average balances increased reflecting the sourcing of more business to Medallion Bank, and an increase in loan participations sold. The decrease in borrowing costs reflected the trend of
decreasing interest rates in the economy.

We will continue to seek SBA funding to the extent it offers attractive rates. SBA financing subjects its recipients to limits on the
amount of secured bank debt they may incur. We use SBA funding to fund loans that qualify under Small Business Investment Act (SBIA) and SBA regulations. We believe that financing operations primarily with short-term floating rate secured bank debt
has generally decreased our interest expense, but has also increased our exposure to the risk of increases in market interest rates, which we mitigate with certain interest rate strategies. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, short-term adjustable rate
debt constituted 69% and 75% of total debt, and was 34% and 42% on a fully managed basis including the borrowings of Medallion Bank, reflecting the payoff of the floating rate Citi borrowings and its partial replacement with fixed rate debt.

Factors Affecting Net Assets

Factors that affect our net assets include net realized gain or loss on investments and change in net unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on investments. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds derived upon sale or foreclosure of a loan or an equity investment and the cost basis of such loan or equity investment. Change in net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the amount, if any, by which our estimate of the fair value of our investment portfolio is above or below the previously established fair value or the cost basis of the portfolio. Under the
1940 Act and the SBIA, our loan portfolio and other investments must be recorded at fair value.

Unlike certain lending
institutions, we are not permitted to establish reserves for loan losses, but adjust quarterly the valuation of the loan portfolio to reflect our estimate of the current value of the total loan portfolio. Since no ready market exists for our loans,
fair value is subject to our good faith determination. In determining such fair value, we and our Board of Directors consider factors such as the financial condition of its borrowers and the adequacy of their collateral. Any change in the fair value
of portfolio loans or other investments as determined by us is reflected in net unrealized depreciation or appreciation of investments and affects net increase in net assets resulting from operations but has no impact on net investment income or
distributable income.

Our investment in Medallion Bank, as a wholly-owned portfolio investment, is also subject to quarterly
assessments of fair value. We conduct a thorough valuation analysis as described previously, and determine whether any factors give rise to valuation different than recorded book value, including various regulatory restrictions that were established
at Medallion Banks inception, by the FDIC and State of Utah, and also by additional marketplace restrictions, such as the ability to transfer industrial bank charters. As a result of this valuation process, we used Medallion Banks actual
results of operations as the best estimate of changes in fair value, and recorded the results as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, although changes in these restrictions and other applicable factors could change
these conclusions in the future.

Consolidated Results of Operations

2010 First Quarter compared to the 2009 First Quarter

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $109,000 or $0.01 per diluted common share in the 2010 first quarter, down
$1,780,000 or 94% from $1,889,000 or $0.11 per share in the 2009 first quarter. The 2010 changes primarily reflected higher net realized/unrealized losses and lower net interest income, partially offset by lower operating expenses and higher
noninterest income. Net investment income after income taxes was $2,232,000 or $0.13 per share in the 2010 quarter, up $323,000 or 17% from $1,909,000 or $0.11 per share in the 2009 quarter.



Investment income was $9,230,000 in the 2010 first quarter,
down $1,504,000 or 14% from $10,734,000 a year ago, and included $416,000 from bonuses on certain investments in 2010, compared to $451,000 in 2009. Also included in both quarters was $1,000,000 in dividends from Medallion Bank. Excluding those
items, investment income decreased $1,469,000 or 16%, primarily reflecting loan participations sold, and to a lesser extent, changes in the yields earned. The yield on the investment portfolio was 7.99% in the 2010 quarter, up 5% from 7.58% in the
2009 quarter. Excluding the extra interest and dividends, the 2010 yield was up 3% to 6.77% from 6.56% in 2009, reflecting changes in the portfolio mix. Average investments outstanding were $468,282,000 in 2009, down 18% from $574,300,000 a year
ago, primarily reflecting loan participations sold and loan payments received.

Medallion loans were $311,496,000 at quarter
end, down $88,108,000 or 22% from $399,604,000 a year ago, representing 67% of the investment portfolio compared to 70% a year ago, and were yielding 6.21% compared to 6.41% a year ago, a decrease of 3%. The decrease in outstandings primarily
reflected sold participations and repayments. The managed medallion portfolio, which

includes loans at Medallion Bank and those serviced for third parties, was $589,340,000 at quarter end, up $4,101,000 or 1% from $585,239,000 a year ago, reflecting the above and the strong
overall portfolio growth at Medallion Bank. The commercial loan portfolio was $73,522,000 at quarter end, compared to $90,671,000 a year ago, a decrease of $17,149,000 or 19%, and represented 16% of the investment portfolio at both quarter ends. The
decrease primarily reflected repayments and reserve increases in the high-yield mezzanine loan portfolio, and also reflected decreases in the asset-based and other secured commercial loan portfolios. Commercial loans yielded 12.21% at quarter end,
up 1% from 12.08% a year ago. The net managed commercial loan portfolio, which includes loans at Medallion Bank and those serviced for or by third parties, was $133,150,000 at quarter end, down $33,266,000 or 20% from $166,416,000 a year ago,
primarily reflecting several large payoffs in Medallion Banks asset-based portfolio, the changes described above, and an increase in purchased loans. Investments in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were $72,598,000 at quarter
end, down $3,412,000 or 4% from $76,010,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting the writeoff of the SPAC investment, partially offset by our equity in the earnings of Medallion Bank, and which represented 16% of the investment portfolio, compared to
13% a year ago, and which yielded 5.51% at quarter end, compared to 7.40% a year ago. See Notes 3 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments
were $3,176,000 at quarter end, up $383,000 or 14% from $2,793,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting portfolio acquisitions, and represented 1% of the investment portfolio at both quarter ends, and had a dividend yield of 2.32%, compared to 5.49% a
year ago. Investment securities were zero at both quarter ends. See page 28 for a table that shows balances and yields by type of investment.

Interest expense was $3,514,000 in the 2010 first quarter, down $1,131,000 or 24% from $4,645,000 in the 2009 first quarter. The decrease
in interest expense was primarily due to decreased levels of borrowings, and to a lesser extent, to the decreased cost of borrowed funds. The cost of borrowed funds was 3.89% in 2010, compared to 4.16% a year ago, a decrease of 6%, reflecting the
continued declines in our interest costs as the Fed lowered rates to address the economic crisis, and that impact on the adjustable rate nature of much of our borrowings. Average debt outstanding was $366,102,000 for the 2010 quarter, compared to
$452,771,000 a year ago, a decrease of 19%, primarily reflecting decreased borrowings as portfolio outstandings declined. See page 35 for a table which shows average balances and cost of funds for our funding sources.

Net interest income was $5,716,000 and the net interest margin was 4.95% for the 2010 quarter, down $373,000 or 6% from $6,089,000 a year
ago, which represented a net interest margin of 4.30%, all reflecting the items discussed above.

Noninterest income, which is
comprised of servicing fee income, prepayment penalties, late charges, and other miscellaneous income was $796,000 in the 2010 quarter, up $97,000 or 14% from $699,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting higher servicing and other fees generated from a
larger portfolio base at Medallion Bank, partially offset by lower prepayment penalties and other income.

Operating expenses
were $4,280,000 in the 2010 first quarter, down $599,000 or 12% from $4,879,000 in the 2009 first quarter, primarily reflecting $712,000 of expense reversals associated with potential liabilities of the SPACs. Excluding the SPAC-related
amounts, operating expenses increased $113,000 or 2%. Salaries and benefits expense was $3,056,000 in the 2010 quarter, down $58,000 or 2% from $3,114,000 in the 2009 quarter, primarily reflecting lower salary levels. Professional fees were $591,000
in 2010, up $188,000 or 47% from $403,000 a year ago. The increase primarily reflected higher legal expenses related to various investment opportunities and the MFC reorganization, and higher accounting costs. Occupancy expense was $334,000 in the
quarter, up $41,000 or 14% compared to $293,000 in 2009. The increase reflected lower rent reimbursements received from an unconsolidated portfolio company. Other operating expenses of $299,000 in 2010 were down $770,000 or 72% from $1,069,000 a
year ago, primarily reflecting $712,000 of expense reversals associated with potential liabilities of the SPACs. Excluding the SPAC-related amounts, other operating expenses decreased $58,000 or 5%, primarily reflecting lower loan collections
costs, travel and entertainment expenses, and office expenses, partially offset by higher franchise tax accruals.

Income tax
expense was $0 in both the 2010 and 2009 first quarters.

Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments was $6,099,000
in the 2010 first quarter, compared to $344,000 in the 2009 first quarter, an increase in appreciation of $5,755,000. Net change in unrealized depreciation, net of the net change in unrealized appreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled
subsidiaries, was depreciation of $1,244,000 in 2010, compared to appreciation of $867,000 in 2009, resulting in increased depreciation of $2,111,000 in 2010. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) arises when we make valuation adjustments to the
investment portfolio. When investments are sold or written off, any resulting realized gain (loss) is grossed up to reflect previously recorded unrealized components. As a result, movement between periods can appear distorted. The 2010 activity
resulted from net appreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $7,343,000, appreciation on foreclosed property of $1,516,000, reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with equity investments (SPAC 2) which were charged
off of $759,000, and net unrealized appreciation on equity investments of $159,000, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on loans of $3,678,000. The 2009 activity resulted from appreciation on foreclosed property of $1,837,000 and
reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with fully depreciated loans which were charged off of $370,000, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on equity investments of $719,000, net unrealized depreciation on loans of $621,000, and
net depreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $523,000. The net appreciation or

depreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries described above is net of the dividends declared by them to us of $1,000,000 in the 2010 and 2009 first quarters, and also in 2010
includes the reversal of unrealized depreciation of $7,473,000 related to the writeoff of the SPAC investment, realized in the 2010 first quarter.

Our net realized losses on investments were $8,222,000 in the 2010 quarter, compared to $364,000 in the 2009 quarter, an increase in
realized losses of $7,858,000 in the quarter. The 2010 activity reflected the reversals described in the unrealized paragraph above, partially offset by net direct recoveries of $10,000. The 2009 activity reflected the above, partially offset by net
direct recoveries of $6,000.

Our net realized/unrealized losses on investments were $2,123,000 in the 2010 first quarter,
compared to $20,000 in the 2009 first quarter, an increase of $2,103,000 of net losses in 2010, reflecting the above.

ASSET/LIABILITY
MANAGEMENT

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that our interest-earning assets (consisting of
medallion, commercial, and consumer loans; and investment securities) reprice on a different basis over time in comparison to our interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of credit facilities with banks and other lenders, bank certificates
of deposit, and subordinated SBA debentures).

Having interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice more frequently on
average than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates, although such an asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of rising interest rates. Abrupt increases in market rates of interest may
have an adverse impact on our earnings until we are able to originate new loans at the higher prevailing interest rates. Conversely, having interest-earning assets that mature or reprice more frequently on average than liabilities may be beneficial
in times of rising interest rates, although this asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of falling interest rates. This mismatch between maturities and interest rate sensitivities of our interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities results in interest rate risk.

The effect of changes in interest rates is mitigated by
regular turnover of the portfolio. Based on past experience, we anticipate that approximately 40% of the taxicab medallion portfolio will mature or be prepaid each year. We believe that the average life of our loan portfolio varies to some extent as
a function of changes in interest rates. Borrowers are more likely to exercise prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment because the interest rate payable on the borrowers loan is high relative to prevailing interest rates.
Conversely, borrowers are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate environment. However, borrowers may prepay for a variety of other reasons, such as to monetize increases in the underlying collateral values, particularly in the medallion
loan portfolio.

In addition, we manage our exposure to increases in market rates of interest by incurring fixed-rate
indebtedness, such as ten year subordinated SBA debentures, and by setting repricing intervals or the maturities of tranches drawn under the revolving lines of credit or issued as certificates of deposit, for terms of up to five years. We had
outstanding SBA debentures of $88,250,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.09%, constituting 24% of our total indebtedness as of March 31, 2010. Also, as of March 31, 2010, portions of the adjustable rate debt with banks repriced
at intervals of as long as 31 months, and certain of the certificates of deposit were for terms of up to 35 months, further mitigating the immediate impact of changes in market interest rates.

A relative measure of interest rate risk can be derived from our interest rate sensitivity gap. The interest rate sensitivity gap
represents the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which mature and/or reprice within specified intervals of time. The gap is considered to be positive when repriceable assets exceed repriceable liabilities,
and negative when repriceable liabilities exceed repriceable assets. A relative measure of interest rate sensitivity is provided by the cumulative difference between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities for a given time
interval expressed as a percentage of total assets.

The following table presents our interest rate sensitivity gap at March 31, 2010,
compared to the respective positions at the end of 2009 and 2008. The principal amount of interest earning assets is assigned to the time frames in which such principal amounts are contractually obligated to be repriced. We have not reflected an
assumed annual prepayment rate for such assets in this table.

|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Adjusted for the medallion loan 40% prepayment assumption results in a cumulative one year negative interest rate gap and related ratio of ($22,547) or (5%) for
March 31, 2010, compared to ($34,286) or (8%) and ($107,671) or (20%) for December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was ($47,376) or (5%), ($85,130) or (9%), and ($155,873) or (16%) on a combined basis with Medallion

Our interest rate sensitive assets were $412,846,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities were $361,146,000 at March 31, 2010.
The one-year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $107,940,000 or 26% of interest rate sensitive assets, compared to a negative $129,336,000 or 30% at December 31, 2009 and $240,998,000 or 46% at December 31, 2008. However, using
our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate gap resulted in a negative gap of $22,547,000 or 5% at March 31, 2010. We seek to manage interest rate risk by originating adjustable-rate loans, by
incurring fixed-rate indebtedness, by evaluating appropriate derivatives, pursuing securitization opportunities, and by other options consistent with managing interest rate risk.

On a combined basis with Medallion Bank, our interest rate sensitive assets were $882,908,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities
were $739,239,000 at March 31, 2010. The one year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $182,841,000 or 21% of interest rate sensitive assets, compared to a negative $225,251,000 or 25% and $326,687,000 or 34% at December 31, 2009
and 2008. Using our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate gap resulted in a negative gap of $47,376,000 or 5% at March 31, 2010.

Interest Rate Cap Agreements

The Company manages its exposure to increases in market rates of interest by periodically purchasing interest rate caps to lock in the
cost of funds of its variable-rate debt in the event of a rapid run up in interest rates. During 2009, the Company entered into contracts to purchase interest rate caps on $252,000,000 notional value of principal from various multinational banks, of
which $170,000,000 are active with termination dates ranging to June, 2011. The caps provide for payments to the Company if various LIBOR thresholds are exceeded during the cap terms. The caps were fully expensed in 2009, including $7,000 in the
2009 first quarter, and are carried at $0 on the balance sheet at March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity are the revolving lines of credit with DZ Bank and Sterling Bank, loan amortization and
prepayments, private issuances of debt securities, and participations or sales of loans to third parties. As a RIC, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income; consequently, we have primarily relied upon
external sources of funds to finance growth. Trust IIIs $200,000,000 revolving line of credit with DZ Bank had $20,636,000 of availability. Lastly, $11,500,000 was available under revolving credit agreements with commercial banks.

Additionally, Medallion Bank, our wholly-owned, unconsolidated portfolio company has access
to independent sources of funds for our business originated there, primarily through brokered certificates of deposit. At the current required capital levels, it is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that deposits of approximately
$129,500,000 could be raised by Medallion Bank to fund future loan origination activities, and Medallion Bank also has $30,000,000 available under Fed Funds lines with several commercial banks. In addition, Medallion Bank, as a non-RIC subsidiary of
ours, is allowed to retain all earnings in the business to fund future growth.

The components of our debt were as follows at
March 31, 2010. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements on page 17 for details of the contractual terms of our borrowings.

We value our portfolio at fair value as determined in good faith by management and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with
our valuation policy. Unlike certain lending institutions, we are not permitted to establish reserves for loan losses. Instead, we must value each individual investment and portfolio loan on a quarterly basis. We record unrealized depreciation on
investments and loans when we believe that an asset has been impaired and full collection is unlikely. We record unrealized appreciation on equities if we have a clear indication that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and,
therefore, our equity investment has also appreciated in value. Without a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio of investments and loans may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the
portfolio if there existed a ready market for the investments. We adjust the valuation of the portfolio quarterly to reflect managements estimate of the current fair value of each investment in the portfolio. Any changes in estimated fair
value are recorded in our statement of operations as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Our investment in Medallion Bank, as a wholly-owned portfolio investment, is also subject to quarterly assessments of its fair value. We
conduct a thorough valuation analysis as described previously, and determine whether any factors give rise to valuation different than recorded book value. As a result of this valuation process, we used Medallion Banks actual results of
operations as the best estimate of changes in fair value, and recorded the result as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, although changes in these restrictions and other applicable factors could change these
conclusions in the future.

In addition, the illiquidity of our loan portfolio and investments may adversely affect our
ability to dispose of loans at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate such portfolio or investments. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may
be significantly less than the current value of such investments. Because we borrow money to make loans and investments, our net operating income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we
invest these 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 interest income. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would
increase, which would reduce our net operating income before net realized and unrealized gains. We use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our investing activities. Our long-term fixed-rate investments
are financed primarily with short-term floating-rate debt, and to a lesser extent by term fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort 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 have analyzed the

potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Assuming that the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate
sensitivity, and including the impact on Medallion Bank, a hypothetical immediate 1% increase in interest rates would have positively impacted net increase in net assets resulting from operations as of March 31, 2010 by approximately $1,269,000
on an annualized basis, compared to a positive impact of $1,149,000 at December 31, 2009, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been ($1,696,000) at March 31, 2010, compared to ($1,943,000)
for December 31, 2009. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size, and composition of the assets on the balance
sheet, and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations in a particular quarter or for the year taken as a whole. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ
materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

We continue to work with investment banking firms and
other financial intermediaries to investigate the viability of a number of other financing options which include, among others, the sale or spin off certain assets or divisions, the development of a securitization conduit program, and other
independent financing for certain subsidiaries or asset classes. These financing options would also provide additional sources of funds for both external expansion and continuation of internal growth.

The following table illustrates sources of available funds for us and each of our subsidiaries, and amounts outstanding under credit
facilities and their respective end of period weighted average interest rates at March 31, 2010. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about each credit facility.

Loan amortization, prepayments, and sales also provide a source of funding for us. Prepayments on loans are influenced significantly by
general interest rates, medallion loan market values, economic conditions, and competition.

We have available liquidity of
$20,636,000 under our revolving credit agreement with DZ Bank as of March 31, 2010. We also generate liquidity through deposits generated at Medallion Bank, and borrowing arrangements with other banks, as well as from cash flow from operations.
In addition, we may choose to participate a greater portion of our loan portfolio to third parties. We are actively seeking additional sources of liquidity, however, given current market conditions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
secure additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or at all. If that occurs, we may decline to underwrite lower yielding loans in order to conserve capital until credit conditions in the market become more favorable; or we may be required to
dispose of assets

when we would not otherwise do so, and at prices which may be below the net book value of such assets in order for us to repay indebtedness on a timely basis. Also, Medallion Bank is not a RIC,
and therefore is able to retain earnings to finance growth.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (FASB ASU 2010-06). FASB ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, and requires new disclosures related to the transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2, as
well as requiring that a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements rather than as one net number. Additionally, FASB ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 by clarifying existing disclosures
related to level of disaggregation as well as disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. FASB ASU 2010-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, these disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASU 2010-06, except for
the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of FASB ASU 2010-06 related to Level 3 roll forward of activity to have an
impact on its financial condition or results of operations, as it is a disclosure standard.

As a RIC, we intend to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to our shareholders. Distributions of our income
are generally required to be made within the calendar year the income was earned as a RIC; however, in certain circumstances distributions can be made up to a full calendar year after the income has been earned. Investment company taxable income
includes, among other things, interest, dividends, and capital gains reduced by deductible expenses. Our ability to make dividend payments as a RIC is restricted by certain asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act and has been dependent upon
maintenance of our status as a RIC under the Code in the past, by SBA regulations, and under the terms of the SBA debentures. There can be no assurances, however, that we will have sufficient earnings to pay such dividends in the future.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which shareholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional
shares of common stock. When we declare a dividend or distribution, all participants will have credited to their plan accounts the number of full and fractional shares (computed to three decimal places) that could be obtained with the cash, net of
any applicable withholding taxes that would have been paid to them if they were not participants. The number of full and fractional shares is computed at the weighted average price of all shares of common stock purchased for plan participants within
the 30 days after the dividend or distribution is declared plus brokerage commissions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not release plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the dividend
or capital gains distribution. Shareholders may terminate their participation in the dividend reinvestment plan by providing written notice to the Plan Agent at least 10 days before any given dividend payment date. Upon termination, we will issue to
a shareholder both a certificate for the number of full shares of common stock owned and a check for any fractional shares, valued at the then current market price, less any applicable brokerage commissions and any other costs of sale. There are no
additional fees or expenses for participation in the dividend reinvestment plan. Shareholders may obtain additional information about the dividend reinvestment plan by contacting the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC at 59 Maiden
Lane, New York, NY, 10038.

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

There has been no material change in disclosure regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk since the Company
filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.



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

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Rules 13a  15(e) and 15d  15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and have concluded that they are effective as of March 31, 2010. In addition, based
on our evaluation as of March 31, 2010, there have been no changes that occurred during the 2010 first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



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

We and
our subsidiaries are currently involved in various legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business, including collection matters with respect to certain loans. We intend to vigorously defend any outstanding claims and pursue our
legal rights. In the opinion of our management and based upon the advice of legal counsel, there is no proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of management threatened, which in the event of an adverse decision would result in a material adverse
effect on our results of operations or financial condition.



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

Risks Relating to Our
Business and Structure

We are currently in a period of capital markets disruption and severe recession and we do not
expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

The current market conditions have materially and adversely
affected the debt and equity capital markets in the United States, which could have a negative impact on our business and operations. The US capital markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 24 months as
evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the repricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions. These events
have contributed to worsening general economic conditions that are materially and adversely impacting the broader financial and credit markets and reducing the availability of credit and equity capital for the markets as a

whole and financial services firms in particular. We believe that the US economy is experiencing a prolonged recession, and forecasts for 2010 generally call for a continuation of the economic
recession. As a result, we believe these conditions may continue for a prolonged period of time or worsen in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. Equity capital may be difficult to raise because,
subject to some limited exceptions, we generally are not able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. In addition, the debt capital that will be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less
favorable terms and conditions.

We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested,
and may increase the risk of investing in us.

Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or
loss on amounts invested, and therefore increase the risk associated with investing in us. We borrow from and issue senior debt securities to banks and other lenders, and through long-term subordinated SBA debentures. These creditors have fixed
dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common shareholders. If the value of our assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would
have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of
interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a
decline could reduce the amount available for common stock dividend payments.

As of March 31, 2010, we had approximately
$361,146,000 of outstanding indebtedness, which had a weighted average borrowing cost of 3.50% at March 31, 2010, and our wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio companies, primarily Medallion Bank, had $378,093,000 of outstanding indebtedness at
a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.65%.

Consumer lending by Medallion Bank carries a higher risk of loss and could
be adversely affected by an economic downturn.

The 2004 acquisition of our consumer loan portfolio, and the subsequent
commencement of lending operations in this line of business, represents an entry into the relatively new market of consumer lending for us. Although the purchased portfolio was seasoned, and Medallion Banks management has considerable
experience in originating and managing consumer loans, we cannot assure you that these loans will perform at their historical levels as expected under Medallion Banks management.

By its nature, lending to consumers that have blemishes on their credit reports carries with it a higher risk of loss. Although the net
interest margins should be higher to compensate us for this increased risk, the current economic downturn could result in higher loss rates and lower returns than expected, and could affect the profitability of the consumer loan portfolio.

We are dependent upon our key investment personnel for our future success.

We depend on the diligence, skill, and network of business contacts of the investment professionals we employ for sourcing, evaluating,
negotiating, structuring, and monitoring our investments. Our future success will also depend, to a significant extent, on the continued service and coordination of our senior management team, particularly, Alvin Murstein, our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Andrew M. Murstein, our President, and Larry D. Hall, our Chief Financial Officer. The departure of Messrs. Murstein or Mr. Hall, or any member of our senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on our
ability to achieve our investment objective.

We operate in a highly regulated environment which may constrain our
ability to grow our business.

The 1940 Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of business development
companies. For example, business development companies are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets in qualifying assets, primarily securities of eligible portfolio companies (as defined under the 1940 Act), cash, cash
equivalents, US government securities, and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Our regulatory requirements may hinder our ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, achieve our
investment objective. In addition, we rely upon several exemptive orders from the SEC permitting us to consolidate our financial reporting and operate our business as presently conducted. Our failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in those
exemptive orders could result in our inability to rely upon such orders or to cause the SEC to revoke the orders which could result in material changes in our financial reporting or the way in which we conduct our business. Furthermore, any failure
to comply with the requirements imposed on business development companies by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us. If we do not remain a business development company, we might be regulated as a closed-end
investment company under the 1940 Act, which would further significantly decrease our operating flexibility.

On
February 27, 2009, Medallion Bank issued and sold, and the US Treasury purchased under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, or the CPP, (1) 11,800 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A,
and

(2) a warrant, which was immediately exercised, to purchase up to 590 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $11,800,000 in cash. On December 22, 2009, Medallion Bank issued and sold, and the US Treasury purchased under the CPP, (1) 9,698 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series C, and (2) a warrant, which was immediately exercised, to purchase up to 55 shares of Medallion Banks Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,698,000 in
cash. The US Congress, through the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, or the EESA, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or the ARRA, has imposed a number of restrictions and limitations on the operations of CPP
participants. The final rule promulgated pursuant to Section 111 of the EESA, as amended by the ARRA, prescribes certain standards for compensation and corporate governance for CPP participants (which the Company believes to include parent
companies such as the Company). The rules and regulations applicable to CPP participants continue to evolve and their scope, timing and effect cannot be predicted.

Regulations governing our operation as a business development company will affect our ability to, and the way in which, we raise
additional capital.

Our business may periodically require capital. We may acquire additional capital from the
following sources:

Senior Securities and Other Indebtedness. We may issue debt securities or preferred stock, and/or
borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively as senior securities, up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. If we issue senior securities, including debt or preferred stock, we will be exposed to
additional risks, including the following:



| |  |  | Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a business development company, to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our
asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be restricted from issuing additional
debt, may be limited in making distributions on our stock, and may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, to repay a portion of our debt at a time when such sales and/or repayments may be
disadvantageous.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any amounts that we use to service our debt or make payments on preferred stock will not be available for dividends to our common shareholders.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | It is likely that any senior securities or other indebtedness we issue will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants
restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, some of these securities or other indebtedness may be rated by rating agencies, and in obtaining a rating for such securities and other indebtedness, we may be required to abide by operating and
investment guidelines that further restrict operating and financial flexibility.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We and, indirectly, our shareholders will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities and other indebtedness.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Preferred stock or any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences, and privileges more favorable
than those of our common stock, including separate voting rights, and could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control to the detriment of the holders of our common stock.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Common Stock. We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share.
We may, however, sell our common stock, warrants, options, or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the current net asset value of the common stock if our Board of Directors determines that such sale is in our best interests and that
of our shareholders, and our shareholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price which, in the determination of our Board of Directors, closely approximates the
market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). We may also make rights offerings to our shareholders at prices per share less than the net asset value per share, subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. If
we raise additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, the percentage ownership of our shareholders at that time would decrease and they may experience dilution. Moreover,
we can offer no assurance that we will be able to issue and sell additional equity securities in the future, on favorable terms or at all.

If our primary investments are deemed not to be qualifying assets, we could be deemed to be in violation of the 1940 Act.

As a business development company, we are not permitted to acquire any assets other than qualifying assets unless,
at the time of such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets. Our investment in Medallion Bank may constitute an ineligible investment. As of March 31, 2010, up to 26% of our total assets were invested in ineligible
investments.

At the end of each fiscal quarter, we may take proactive steps to prospectively preserve investment flexibility
in the next quarter which is assessed against our total assets at our most recent quarter end. We can accomplish this in many ways including purchasing US Treasury bills or other investment-grade debt securities, and closing out our position on a
net cash basis subsequent to quarter end. However, if such proactive measures are ineffective and our primary investments are deemed not to be qualifying assets, we could be deemed in violation of the 1940 Act, which could have a material effect on
our business.

We will be subject to corporate-level income tax if we are unable to qualify as a RIC
under Subchapter M of the Code.

To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code, we must meet the following
annual distribution, income source, and asset diversification requirements.



| |  |  | The annual distribution requirement for a RIC will be satisfied if we distribute to our shareholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our net
ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. Because we use debt financing, we are subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the 1940 Act and financial
covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to satisfy the distribution requirement. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, we could fail to qualify
for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The income source requirement will be satisfied if we obtain at least 90% of our income for each year from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of
stock or securities or similar sources.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of our taxable
year. Failure to meet those requirements may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of our investments will be in private companies, and therefore will be relatively
illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous prices and could result in substantial losses.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we do not qualify as a RIC for more than two consecutive years, and then seek to requalify and elect RIC status, we would be required
to recognize gain to the extent of any unrealized appreciation on our assets unless we make a special election to pay corporate-level tax on any such unrealized appreciation recognized during the succeeding 10-year period. Absent such special
election, any gain we recognize would be deemed distributed to our shareholders as a taxable distribution.

If we fail to
qualify for RIC tax treatment for any reason and are subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. In
addition, the asset coverage and distribution requirements impose significant cash flow management restrictions on us and limit our ability to retain earnings to cover periods of loss, provide for future growth, and pay for extraordinary items.
Additionally, we could fail to satisfy the requirement that a RIC derive at least 90% of its gross income from qualifying sources, with the result that we would not qualify as a RIC. Qualification as a RIC is made on an annual basis and, although we
and some of our subsidiaries have qualified in the past, we cannot assure you that we will qualify for such treatment in the future.

The Codes diversification requirements may limit our ability to expand our business.

To qualify as a RIC, not more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be invested in the securities, other than US government
securities or securities of other RICs, of any one issuer. As of March 31, 2010, our largest investment subject to this test was our investment in Medallion Bank, representing 16% of our RIC assets. No other investments were more than 5% of our
RIC assets. We will continue to monitor the levels of this and any other investment concentrations in conjunction with the diversification tests.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such
income.

For federal income tax purposes, we will include in taxable income certain amounts that we have not yet
received in cash, such as original issue discount, which may arise if we receive warrants in connection with the origination of a loan or possibly in other circumstances, or contractual payment-in-kind interest, which represents contractual interest
added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Such original issue discount or increases in loan balances as a result of payment-in-kind interest will be included in income before we receive any corresponding cash payments. We also
may be required to include in income certain other amounts that we will not receive in cash.

Since, in certain cases, we may
recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to achieve and maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code. Accordingly, we may have to sell some
of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital, or reduce new investment originations for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to
qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

Our SBIC subsidiaries may be
unable to meet the investment company requirements, which could result in the imposition of an entity-level tax.

Some
of our subsidiaries are subject to the SBIA. Our SBIC subsidiaries that are also RICs are prohibited by the SBIA from making the distributions necessary to qualify as a RIC. Each year, in order to comply with the SBA regulations and the RIC
distribution requirements, we must request and receive a waiver of the SBAs restrictions. While the current policy of the SBAs Office of SBIC Operations is to grant such waivers if the SBIC makes certain offsetting adjustments to its
paid-in capital and surplus accounts, we cannot assure you that this will continue to be the SBAs policy or that our subsidiaries will have adequate capital to



Page 47 of 58



---

##### Table of Contents

make the required adjustments. If our subsidiaries are unable to obtain a waiver, compliance with the SBA regulations may result in loss of RIC status and a consequent imposition of an
entity-level tax.

We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.

We compete for investments with other business development companies and other investment funds as well as traditional financial services
companies such as commercial banks and credit unions. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of
funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of
investments, establish more relationships, and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than us. We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors pricing, terms, and structure. If we are forced to match our
competitors pricing, terms, and structure, we may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on our investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions
that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a business development company.

We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we
face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Also, as a result of this competition, we may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time.

Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net investment income.

Because we borrow to fund our investments, a portion of our income is dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we
borrow funds and the interest rate at which we invest these funds. A portion of our investments, such as taxi medallion loans, will have fixed interest rates, while a portion of our borrowings will likely have floating interest rates. As a result, a
significant change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds could increase, which would reduce our net investment income. We may hedge against
interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments, subject to applicable legal requirements. These activities may limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the hedged portfolio. Adverse
developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Also, we will have to rely on our counterparties to perform their
obligations under such hedges.

We depend on cash flow from our subsidiaries to make dividend payments and other
distributions to our shareholders.

We are primarily a holding company, and we derive most of our operating income and
cash flow from our subsidiaries. As a result, we rely heavily upon distributions from our subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to make dividend payments and other distributions to our shareholders. Funds are provided to us by our
subsidiaries through dividends and payments on intercompany indebtedness, but we cannot assure you that our subsidiaries will be in a position to continue to make these dividend or debt payments. Furthermore, as a condition of its approval by its
regulators, Medallion Bank is required to maintain a 15% capital ratio, which may inhibit its ability to declare and pay dividends, which are further restricted by the US Treasury to $4,000,000 per year.

Medallion Banks use of brokered deposit sources for its deposit-gathering activities may not be available when needed.

Medallion Bank relies on the established brokered deposit market to originate deposits to fund its operations. While
Medallion Bank has developed contractual relationships with a diversified group of investment brokers, and the brokered deposit market is well developed and utilized by many banking institutions, conditions could change that might affect the
availability of deposits. If the capital levels at Medallion Bank fall below the well-capitalized level, or if Medallion Bank experiences a period of sustained operating losses, the cost of attracting deposits from the brokered deposit
market could increase significantly, and the ability of Medallion Bank to raise deposits from this source could be impaired. Medallion Banks ability to manage its growth to stay within the well-capitalized level, and the capital
level currently required by the FDIC, which is also considerably higher than the level required to be classified as well-capitalized, is critical to Medallion Banks retaining open access to this funding source.

A decrease in prevailing interest rates may lead to more loan prepayments, which could adversely affect our business.

Our borrowers generally have the right to prepay their loans upon payment of a fee ranging from 30 to 120 days
interest for standard commodity loans, and for higher amounts, as negotiated, for larger more custom loan arrangements. A borrower is likely to exercise prepayment rights at a time when the interest rate payable on the borrowers loan is high
relative to prevailing interest rates. In a lower interest rate environment, we will have difficulty re-lending prepaid funds at comparable rates, which may reduce the net interest income that we receive. When this occurs, we will generally reinvest
these proceeds in temporary investments, pending their future investment in new portfolio companies. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid, and we could experience significant delays
in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. As a result, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if a substantial number of our
portfolio companies elect to prepay amounts owed to us and we are not



Page 48 of 58



---

##### Table of Contents

able to reinvest the proceeds for comparable yields in a timely fashion. Additionally, prepayments could negatively impact our return on equity, which could result in a decline in the market
price of our common stock.

Our investment portfolio is, and will continue to be, recorded at fair value as determined
in good faith by our management and approved by our Board of Directors and, as a result, there is, and will continue to be, uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.

Under the 1940 Act, we are required to carry our portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value,
at fair value as determined by our management and approved by our Board of Directors. Unlike other lending institutions, we are not permitted to maintain a general reserve for anticipated losses. Instead, we are required by the 1940 Act to
specifically value each individual investment and record an unrealized gain or loss for any asset we believe has increased or decreased in value. Typically, there is not a public market for most of the investments in which we have invested and will
generally continue to invest. As a result, we value our investments on a quarterly basis based on a determination of their fair value made in good faith and in accordance with the written guidelines approved by our Board of Directors. The types of
factors that may be considered in determining the fair value pricing of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys earnings and its ability to make payments on its indebtedness, the
markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow, and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are
inherently uncertain, the valuations may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. As a result, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these
investments existed. Our net asset value could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such securities.
Considering these factors, we have determined that the fair value of our portfolio is below its cost basis. As of March 31, 2010, our net unrealized depreciation on investments other than in controlled subsidiaries, foreclosed properties, and
other assets was $8,131,000 or 2.05% of our investment portfolio.

The lack of liquidity in our investments may
adversely affect our business.

We generally make investments in private companies. Substantially all of these
securities are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if the need arises. In addition,
if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded our investments. We may also face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an
investment in a portfolio company to the extent that we have material non-public information regarding such portfolio company.

In addition, the illiquidity of our loan portfolio and investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of loans at times when it
may be advantageous for us to liquidate such portfolio or investments. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value
of such investments. Because we borrow money to make loans and investments, our net operating income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these 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 interest income. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which would reduce our net operating income
before net realized and unrealized gains. We use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our investing activities. Our long-term fixed-rate investments are financed primarily with short-term floating-rate
debt, and to a lesser extent by term fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort 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 have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Assuming that the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate
sensitivity, and including the impact on Medallion Bank, a hypothetical immediate 1% increase in interest rates would have positively impacted net increase in net assets resulting from operations as of March 31, 2010 by approximately $1,269,000
on an annualized basis, compared to a positive impact of $1,149,000 at December 31, 2009, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been ($1,696,000) at March 31, 2010, compared to ($1,943,000)
for December 31, 2009. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size, and composition of the assets on the balance
sheet, and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations in a particular quarter or for the year taken as a whole. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ
materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly
results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including our
ability to make investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities we acquire, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or
losses, the degree to which we



Page 49 of 58



---

##### Table of Contents

encounter competition in our markets, and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future
periods.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect any market for our common stock, impact the
businesses in which we invest, and harm our operations and profitability.

Terrorist attacks may harm our results of
operations and your investment. We cannot assure you that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the US or US businesses. Such attacks or armed conflicts in the US or elsewhere may impact the businesses in which we invest directly, or
indirectly by undermining economic conditions in the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our business is focused in the New York City metropolitan area, which suffered a terrorist attack in 2001. Another terrorist attack in New York
City could severely impact our results of operations. Losses resulting from terrorist attacks are generally uninsurable.

Our financial condition and results of operations will depend on our ability to manage growth effectively.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective will depend on our ability to grow, which will depend, in turn, on our management
teams ability to identify, evaluate, and monitor, and our ability to finance and invest in, companies that meet our investment criteria.

Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis will be largely a function of our management teams handling of the investment
process, its ability to provide competent, attentive, and efficient services, and our access to financing on acceptable terms. In addition to monitoring the performance of our existing investments, members of our management team and our investment
professionals may also be called upon to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. These demands on their time may distract them or slow the rate of investment. In order to grow, we will need to hire, train, supervise, and manage new
employees. However, we cannot assure you that any such employees will contribute to the success of our business. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.

Acquisitions may lead to difficulties that could adversely affect our operations.

By their nature, corporate acquisitions entail certain risks, including those relating to undisclosed liabilities, the
entry into new markets, operational, and personnel matters. We may have difficulty integrating acquired operations or managing problems due to sudden increases in the size of our loan portfolio. In such instances, we might be required to modify our
operating systems and procedures, hire additional staff, obtain and integrate new equipment, and complete other tasks appropriate for the assimilation of new business activities. We cannot assure you that we would be successful, if and when
necessary, in minimizing these inherent risks or in establishing systems and procedures which will enable us to effectively achieve our desired results in respect of any future acquisitions.

Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.

The 1940 Act restricts our ability to knowingly participate in certain transactions with our affiliates. These restrictions limit our
ability to buy or sell any security from or to our affiliates, or engage in joint transactions with our affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times). With respect to
controlling or certain closely affiliated persons, we will generally be prohibited from engaging in such transactions absent the prior approval of the SEC. With respect to other affiliated persons, we may engage in such transactions only with the
prior approval of our independent directors.

Our Board of Directors may change our operating policies and strategies
without prior notice or shareholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.

Our Board of Directors has the
authority to modify or waive our current operating policies and strategies without prior notice and without shareholder approval. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies and strategies would have on our business,
operating results, and value of our stock. However, the effects might be adverse, which could negatively impact our ability to pay you dividends and cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Investments

Lending to small businesses involves a high degree of risk and is highly speculative.

Lending to small businesses involves a high degree of business and financial risk, which can result in substantial losses and should be
considered speculative. Our borrower base consists primarily of small business owners that may have limited resources and that are generally unable to obtain financing from traditional sources. There is generally no publicly available information
about these small business owners, and we must rely on the diligence of our employees and agents to obtain information in connection with our credit decisions. In addition, these small businesses often do not have audited financial statements. Some
smaller businesses have narrower product lines and market shares than their competition. Therefore, they may be more vulnerable to customer



Page 50 of 58

preferences, market conditions, or economic downturns, which may adversely affect the return on, or the recovery of, our investment in these businesses.

Our portfolio is and may continue to be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies and industries, which will subject
us to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations to us or by a downturn in the particular industry.

Our portfolio is and may continue to be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies and industries. As of March 31, 2010,
investments in New York City taxi medallion loans represented approximately 75% of our managed taxi medallion loans. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC, we do not have fixed guidelines for
diversification, and while we are not targeting any specific industries, our investments are, and could continue to be, concentrated in relatively few industries. As a result, the aggregate returns we realize may be adversely affected if a small
number of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Additionally, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could also negatively impact the aggregate returns we realize.

If we are unable to continue to diversify geographically, our business may be adversely affected if the New York City taxicab
industry experiences a sustained economic downturn.

A significant portion of our loan revenue is derived from New York
City medallion loans collateralized by New York City taxicab medallions. An economic downturn in the New York City taxicab industry could lead to an increase in defaults on our medallion loans. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
sufficiently diversify our operations geographically.

An economic downturn such as what we are currently experiencing could
result in certain of our commercial and consumer loan customers experiencing declines in business activities and/or personal resources, which could lead to difficulties in their servicing of their loans with us, and increasing the level of
delinquencies, defaults, and loan losses in our commercial and consumer loan portfolios.

Changes in taxicab industry
regulations that result in the issuance of additional medallions or increases the expenses involved in operating a medallion could lead to a decrease in the value of our medallion loan collateral.

Every city in which we originate medallion loans, and most other major cities in the US, limits the supply of taxicab medallions. This
regulation results in supply restrictions that support the value of medallions. Actions that loosen these restrictions and result in the issuance of additional medallions into a market could decrease the value of medallions in that market. If this
were to occur, the value of the collateral securing our then outstanding medallion loans in that market could be adversely affected. We are unable to forecast with any degree of certainty whether any other potential increases in the supply of
medallions will occur.

In New York City, Chicago, Boston, and in other markets where we originate medallion loans, taxicab
fares are generally set by government agencies. Expenses associated with operating taxicabs are largely unregulated. As a result, the ability of taxicab operators to recoup increases in expenses is limited in the short term. Escalating expenses can
render taxicab operations less profitable, could cause borrowers to default on loans from us, and could potentially adversely affect the value of our collateral.

A significant portion of our loan revenue is derived from loans collateralized by New York City taxicab medallions. According to New York
City TLC data, over the past 20 years New York City taxicab medallions have appreciated in value from under $100,000 to $781,000 for corporate medallions and $589,000 for individual medallions. However, for sustained periods during that time,
taxicab medallions have declined in value. Since December 31, 2008, the value of New York City taxicab medallions increased by approximately 7% for individual medallions and 5% for corporate medallions.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.

We invest primarily in senior secured loans, junior secured loans, and subordinated debt issued by small- to mid-sized
companies. Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt in which we invest. By their terms, such debt instruments may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or
principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt instruments in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, or bankruptcy of a portfolio company,
holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any distribution. After repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not
have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equally with debt instruments in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in
the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

There may be circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to
lender liability claims.

Even though we may have structured most of our investments as senior loans, if one of our
portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that

portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. We may also be subject to lender liability
claims for actions taken by us with respect to a borrowers business or instances where we exercise control over the borrower. It is possible that we could become subject to a lenders liability claim, including as a result of actions
taken in rendering significant managerial assistance.

We may not control many of our portfolio companies.

We may not control many of our portfolio companies, even though we may have board representation or board observation
rights, and our debt agreements may contain certain restrictive covenants. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company in which we invest may make business decisions with which we disagree, and the management of such company may
take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests as debt investors.

We may not realize gains from
our equity investments.

Certain investments that we have made in the past and may make in the future include warrants
or other equity securities. In addition, we may from time to time make non-control, equity co-investments in companies in conjunction with private equity sponsors. Our goal is ultimately to realize gains upon our disposition of such equity
interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of
any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience. We also may be unable to realize any value if a portfolio company does not have a liquidity event, such as a sale of the business, recapitalization, or public
offering, which would allow us to sell the underlying equity interests.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements so long as those statements are
identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. In connection with certain
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and those that may be made in the future by or on behalf of the Company, the Company notes that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set
forth in any such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q were prepared by management and are qualified by, and subject to, significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other
uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict, and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q
will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower. The statements have not been audited by, examined by, compiled by, or subjected to agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no third-party has
independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of this Form 10-Q should consider these facts in evaluating the information contained herein. In addition, the business and operations of the Company are subject to substantial risks which
increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. The inclusion of the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other
person that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q will be achieved. In light of the foregoing, readers of this Form 10-Q are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. These risks
and others that are detailed in this Form 10-Q and other documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and any current reports
on Form 8-K must be considered by any investor or potential investor in the Company.
