PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION



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

BASIS OF
PREPARATION

We, Medallion Financial Corp. or the Company, are a closed-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware corporation. We have elected to be regulated 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 8%, and our commercial loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of
5% (both 11% 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 16%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by Medallion Bank, were $1,036,883,000 as of September 30, 2009, and $1,075,509,000 and $1,048,705,000 as of December 31, 2008
and September 30, 2008, 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 $141,594,000 or $9.10 per share.

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



| |  |  | Medallion Funding Corp., 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 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 and nine months ended
September 30, 2009.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2008.

(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 Corp. (MFC), a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) which originates and services taxicab medallion and commercial loans.

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 $203,844,000 at
September 30, 2009, 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 $36,171,000 at September 30, 2009, 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 is a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of Trust II, will be
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. The assets of Trust II, aggregating $61,646,000 at September 30, 2009, 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 II. Trust IIs loans are serviced by MFC.

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 was capitalized on December 16, 2003, and on December 22, 2003, the FDIC certified that the deposits
of each depositor in Medallion Bank were insured to the maximum amount provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Medallion Bank opened for business. 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 United States of America 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% and 14% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 $1,343,000 and $1,543,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and
non-marketable securities of $1,555,000 and $1,729,000 in the comparable periods. The $77,544,000 and $74,750,000 related to portfolio investments in controlled subsidiaries at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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 68% and 70% of the Companys investment portfolio at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 had arisen in connection
with the financing of taxicab medallions, taxicabs, and related assets, of which 76% and 76% were in New York City at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008) 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 21% of these loans are made
primarily in the metropolitan New York City area, with the balance widely scattered across the US. Investments in controlled unconsolidated subsidiaries, equity investments, and investment securities were 15%, 1%, and 0% at September 30, 2009
and 13%, 1%, and 0% at December 31, 2008.

On a managed basis, which includes the investments of Medallion Bank after
eliminating the Companys investment in Medallion Bank, medallion loans were 56% and 57% of the Companys investment portfolio at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (75% and 74% in New York City), commercial loans were 18%
and 19%, and 22% and 20% were consumer loans in all 50 states collateralized by recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. Investment securities were 2% and 2% at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and equity
investments (including investments in controlled subsidiaries) were 2% and 2%.

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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, net origination costs totaled approximately $112,000 and $252,000. Net amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and
$85,000, and was $8,000 and $351,000 for the comparable nine month periods.

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 September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no premiums or discounts on investment securities, and their related income accretion or amortization was immaterial for 2009 and 2008.

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 September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and
September 30, 2008, total non-accrual loans were $22,046,000, $17,939,000, and $17,954,000, and represented 5%, 4%, and 4% of the gross medallion and commercial loan portfolio at each period end. 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 $6,565,000, $4,172,000, and $5,841,000 as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, of which
$1,185,000 and $828,000 would have been recognized in the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and $2,638,000 and $1,792,000 would have been recognized in the comparable nine-month periods.

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 $297,998,000 and $268,028,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and included $213,858,000 and $204,055,000 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

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 $12,144,000, $10,936,000, and $10,752,000 as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. 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 2009 and 2008 periods shown below.

Goodwill

Effective January 1, 2002, coincident with the adoption of FASB 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 September 30, 2009. 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 $59,000 and
$95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and was $200,000 and $293,000 for the comparable nine months.

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 approximately $335,000 and $290,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, and was $988,000 and $866,000 for the comparable nine months. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain costs for transactions in the process of completion, 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 $5,029,000, $5,708,000, and $3,076,000 as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. 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.

Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the above calculations aggregated 1,145,202 and 1,095,604 shares as of September 30, 2009 and 2008.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 68,667 shares of stock-based compensation
awards, and recognized $57,000 and $179,000, or $0.00 and $0.01 per diluted common share for the respective periods, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the option grants. During the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008, the Company issued 0 and 387,752 shares of stock-based compensation awards, and recognized $81,000 and $215,000, or $0.00 and $0.01 per diluted common share for the respective periods, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to
the option grants. As of September 30, 2009, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $326,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next eleven 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 $202,000,000 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 the 2009 third quarter and are carried at $0 on the balance sheet, and $133,000 and $171,000 were recorded in interest expense for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company had no interest rate cap agreements or other derivative instruments outstanding during 2008.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
year balances to conform with the current quarters presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported results of operations.

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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the net premium on investment securities totaled $178,000 and $96,000, and $22,000 and $51,000 was amortized into interest income for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, and $18,000 and ($27,000) were amortized (accreted) in the comparable 2008 periods.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009



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 September 30, 2009, $3,154,000 or 2% of consumer loans, $1,621,000 or 2% of commercial loans, and $148,000 or less than 1% of medallion loans were on nonaccrual,
compared to $2,442,000 or 1% of consumer loans, $1,832,000 or 2% of commercial loans, and $0 or 0% of medallion loans on nonaccrual at December 31, 2008, and $1,774,000 or less than 1% of consumer loans, $1,052,000 or 1% of commercial loans,
and $0 or 0% of medallion loans on nonaccrual at September 30, 2008. 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 $175,000, $141,000,
and $77,000 as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008.

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 $66,000 and $235,000 was amortized into interest
income in the 2009 third quarter and nine months, and $80,000 and $317,000 was amortized into interest income in the comparable 2008 periods. The premium amount on the balance sheet was $583,000 and $818,000 at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008. 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 September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 was $749,000 and $988,000, and $305,000 and $817,000 was amortized to interest expense during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, and $245,000 and $682,000 were amortized in the comparable
2008 periods. 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 an aggregate of $1,750,000 contributed over the 2009 nine months, and an aggregate of $6,000,000 contributed over the 2008
nine months. Separately, Medallion Bank paid dividends to the Company of $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 in the 2009 and 2008 nine months. Without the capital infusions by the Company, a portion of the Medallion Bank dividends would have been retained to
ensure

Medallion Bank met its capital ratio requirements, and in such circumstance, if the Company maintained its dividends at the existing levels, a portion of those dividends would have represented a
tax-free return of capital.

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 (the 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. The liquidation preference of both Series is $1,000 per share.

The securities were sold in a private placement exempt from SEC registration.

Non-cumulative dividends on the Series A 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 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 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 (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.

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 Warrant 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 transaction, the Company and its senior executive officers have agreed to all terms and
conditions.

The ARRA amends the EESA to require the US Treasury to issue additional executive compensation standards
applicable to CPP participants (which may include parent companies such as the Company), which will include, among other things, the repayment by the senior executive officers and other highly compensated employees of bonus amounts if the bonus was
based on materially inaccurate financial information or other criteria and the prohibition of the payment or accrual of any bonus to the institutions highest paid executive officer except through restricted stock with delayed vesting and
subject to dollar limits. The ARRA further requires CPP participants to permit stockholders to vote on a non-binding resolution approving the institutions compensation of executives.

The following table represents Medallion Banks actual capital amounts and related ratios as of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, compared to required regulatory minimum capital ratios and the ratio required to be considered well capitalized. As of September 30, 2009, Medallion Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject,
and is well-capitalized.

(A) REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT

In December 2008, Trust III entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with DZ Bank, to provide up to
$200,000,000 of financing through a commercial paper conduit to acquire medallion loans from MFC (DZ line), of which $185,254,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2009. Borrowings under Trust IIIs revolving line of credit are
collateralized 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 September 30, 2009) plus 0.75%, or 90 day
LIBOR (0.29% at September 30, 2009) plus 0.50%; plus 0.95%.

In December 2006, and as renegotiated in December 2007 and
November 2008, Trust II entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Citibank N.A., to provide up to $250,000,000 of financing through a commercial paper conduit to acquire medallion loans from MFC (Citi line), of which $39,921,000 was
outstanding at September 30, 2009. In November 2008, the line of credit was reduced to $225,000,000. Borrowings under Trust IIs revolving line of credit are collateralized by Trust IIs assets. MFC is the servicer of the loans owned
by Trust II. The Citi 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 Citi line matures in November 2009. The
interest rate is a pooled short-term commercial paper rate, which approximates LIBOR (0.25% at September 30, 2009), 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%.

In September 2002, and as renegotiated in September 2003, January 2005, January 2006, September
2006, and December 2006, the Trust entered into a revolving line of credit agreement (amended) with Merrill Lynch Commercial Finance Corp., as successor to Merrill Lynch Bank, USA (MLB) to provide up to $375,000,000 of financing to acquire medallion
loans from MFC (MLB line), which was paid off in December 2008.

Based on current market conditions, we expect that Citibank
may not extend the credit facility beyond its current maturity date in November 2009. We have available liquidity of $14,746,000 under our revolving credit agreement with DZ Bank as of September 30, 2009. We also generate liquidity through
deposits generated at Medallion Bank, borrowing arrangements with other banks, and through the issuance of SBA debentures, 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, including sources of liquidity to repay our borrowings under the Citibank line; 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.

(B) SBA DEBENTURES

In September 2006, the SBA approved a $6,000,000
commitment for FSVC to issue additional debentures to the SBA during a four year period upon payment of a 1% fee and the infusion of $2,000,000 of additional capital. In March 2006, the SBA approved a $13,500,000 commitment for MCI to issue
additional debentures to the SBA during a four year period upon payment of a 1% fee and the infusion of $6,750,000 of additional capital. In November 2003, the SBA approved an $8,000,000 commitment for FSVC, and during 2001, the SBA approved
$36,000,000 each in commitments for FSVC and MCI. As of September 30, 2009, $91,000,000 of commitments had been fully utilized, and $8,500,000 was available for borrowing.

The notes are collateralized by substantially all the Companys assets and are subject to the terms and conditions of agreements with
the SBA which, among other things, restrict stock redemptions, disposition of assets, new indebtedness, dividends or distributions, and changes in management, ownership, investment policy, or operations. The debentures have been issued in various
tranches for terms of ten years with interest payable semiannually.

In January 2005, MFC entered into a $4,000,000 revolving note agreement

(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.

(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 September 30, 2009, 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
September 30, 2009, 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 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 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 September 30, 2009, 1,501,199 shares of the Companys common stock were outstanding under the 1996 and 2006 plans, of which 1,095,940 shares were exercisable.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average
fair value of options granted was $0.91 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and was $1.13 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The following assumptions were used for the shares granted during 2009
and 2008.

The increase in servicing fees in 2009 primarily reflected the fees earned on the larger serviced Medallion Bank portfolio. Prepayment penalties decreased in the 2009 third quarter and nine months
compared to the 2008 periods due to early payoff of several large loans, including $550,000 recovered in the 2008 nine months. The decrease in other income reflected the 2008 receipt of an investment partnership income distribution.

Travel, meals and entertainment increased due to an increase in investment development activities. Directors fees increased due to higher directors meeting expenses and a greater frequency of
meetings. Higher loan collection costs in the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2009 reflected costs associated with the SPAC and increased collection efforts on certain past due loans and foreclosed property. Miscellaneous
taxes were higher in the first nine months of 2008 due to higher franchise and excise taxes in the year-ago period related to the disposition of foreclosed property. Printing and stationary costs increased reflecting higher annual report and SEC
filing requirement costs. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased as more assets became fully depreciated.

(9) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820), Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset value per Share or its Equivalent (FASB ASU 2009-12). FASB ASU 2009-12 amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, and permits in
certain circumstances a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment. Additionally, the update requires additional disclosures such as the nature of
any restrictions on the investors ability

to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments and the investment strategies of the investees. FASB ASU 2009-12 is effective for reporting
periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB ASU 2009-12 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value (FASB ASU 2009-05). FASB ASU 2009-05 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, clarifies the techniques a reporting entity should use in valuing a
liability in circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, as well as clarifying that the requirements needed for Level 1 fair value measurements when the quoted price of an identical liability
is utilized. FASB ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 860, Transfer and Servicing, which among other things,
removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. Additionally, the update requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial
assets, including securitization transactions and areas where companies have continued exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15,
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the update will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, which, among other things, (i) require an entity to perform an analysis to determine whether an entitys variable interest or interests give it a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; (ii) require ongoing reassessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; (iii) amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity; and (iv) require enhanced disclosure that will provide users of financial
statements with more transparent information about an entitys involvement in a variable interest entity. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect
the adoption of the update to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the
FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The update amends and clarifies ASC Topic 805 to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and
measurement, subsequent measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The update is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies
in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that this update will have a material impact on its
financial condition or results of operations.

(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.

SPAC

Included in investments in controlled subsidiaries is
$6,722,000 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 will allow it to acquire 5,900,000 additional shares of common stock in the future under various conditions and restrictions. The SPAC is actively
evaluating prospective acquisition targets. Management currently believes that there are economically viable opportunities that will allow the SPAC to consummate a business transaction by January 17, 2010. If the SPAC is unable to consummate an
approved business combination within 24 months of the IPO, the Companys entire investment in the SPAC will become worthless as all of the assets of the SPAC will be used to repay the public stockholders.

The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with ProEminent Sports, whose principal acts as a consultant to the Company for sports
related investments and, included within the scope of his duties, also provides 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. ProEminent Sports has agreed to forego its monthly fee for the duration of the life of SPAC. Following a business combination, in the event the CEO is not
offered employment or a board position with the SPAC, the Company has agreed to continue the consulting arrangement for at least an additional twelve months. 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 has 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. In addition, the Company, as the primary sponsor of the SPAC, may
advance additional funds for operational and acquisition-related purposes, which may be repaid from the ultimate disposition of the Companys equity investment in the SPAC. At September 30, 2009, the SPACs liabilities exceeded its
cash on hand by $699,000, and in addition, owed the Company $85,000. If the SPAC does not consummate a business combination, its intention is to negotiate these liabilities downwards, seeking forbearance from those associated with a failed deal.
However, since the results of such negotiations cannot be anticipated, the Company has accrued $200,000 to cover the SPACs shortfall.

Certain of the Companys officers and directors also serve 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 is $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 is currently in organization prior to registration with the SEC to register units for sale in an initial public offering. Up to $375,000 of this may be repayable upon completion of
the offering or December 31, 2009, whichever occurs first. Prior to the offering, the Company will purchase warrants for $4,125,000 from SPAC 2 in a private placement which will allow it to acquire 4,125,000 additional shares of common stock.
After the offering, the Company will own approximately 17% of SPAC 2s outstanding shares. If SPAC 2 is unable consummate an approved business combination within 24 months of its offering, the Companys entire investment in SPAC 2 will
become worthless as all of the assets of SPAC 2 will be used to repay the public stockholders.

The Company will also agree to indemnify SPAC 2 in the event of SPAC 2s
liquidation for all claims of any vendors, service providers, or other entities that are owed money by SPAC 2 for services rendered or contracted for, or for products sold to SPAC 2, including claims of any prospective acquisition targets. In
addition, the Company, as the majority owner of SPAC 2, may advance additional funds for operational and acquisition-related purposes, which may be repaid from the proceeds of the offering or the ultimate disposition of the Companys equity
investment in SPAC 2.

Certain of the Companys officers and directors also serve as officers and directors of SPAC 2,
and in that role will enter into agreements with SPAC 2 and its underwriter(s) to present to SPAC 2, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, opportunities to acquire entities, until the earlier of SPAC 2s consummation of a
business combination, SPAC 2s liquidation, or until such time as they cease to be an officer or director of SPAC 2. The Company will also enter into a similar agreement.

(11) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 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 a
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 2009.

In accordance
with FASB ASC 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 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:



| | 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 table presents the Companys fair value hierarchy for those assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through November 5, 2009, the date of
financial statement issuance.

On October 27, 2009, the Companys board of directors declared a $0.19 per share
common stock dividend, payable on November 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 20, 2009.



|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 8%, and our
commercial loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 5% (both 11% 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 16%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by Medallion Bank, were $1,036,883,000 as of September 30, 2009, and
$1,075,509,000 and $1,048,705,000 as of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, 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 $141,594,000 or $9.10 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 September 30, 2009 was
7.38% (7.57% for the loan portfolio), a decrease of 18 basis points from 7.56% at December 31, 2008, and a decrease of 26 basis points from 7.64% at September 30, 2008. The weighted average yield of the total managed portfolio at
September 30, 2009 was 9.38%, (9.64% for the loan portfolio), an increase of 16 basis points from 9.22% at December 31, 2008, and a decrease of 1 basis point from 9.39% at September 30, 2008. The decreases from 2008 in the owned
portfolio reflected the general market condition of falling interest rates, and the 2009 increases in the managed portfolio reflect the greater concentration of Medallion Bank consumer assets to the totals.

Medallion Loan Portfolio

Our medallion loans comprised 68% of the net portfolio of $504,012,000 at September 30, 2009, compared to 70% of the net portfolio of $570,597,000 at December 31, 2008, and 71% of $582,396,000
at September 30, 2008. Our managed medallion loans of $484,711,000 comprised 56% of the net managed portfolio of $864,233,000 at September 30, 2009, compared to 57% of the net managed portfolio of $922,007,000 at December 31, 2008,
and 55% of $912,976,000 at September 30, 2008. The medallion loan portfolio decreased by $61,182,000 or 15% in 2009 ($40,661,000 or 8% 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 $93,779,000, $66,041,000, and $66,600,000 at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008.

The weighted average yield of the medallion loan portfolio at September 30, 2009 was 6.29%, a decrease of 13 basis points from 6.42% at
December 31, 2008, and a decrease of 17 basis points from 6.46% at September 30, 2008. The weighted average yield of the managed medallion loan portfolio at September 30, 2009 was 6.27%, a decrease of 16 basis points from 6.43% at
December 31, 2008, and a decrease of 9 basis points from 6.36% at September 30, 2008. The decrease in yield primarily reflected the impact of falling interest rates in the economy and the effects of borrower refinancings. At
September 30, 2009, 24% of the medallion loan portfolio represented loans outside New York, compared to 24% at December 31, 2008 and 25% at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2009, 25% of the managed medallion loan portfolio
represented loans outside New York, compared to 26% at December 31, 2008 and 22% at September 30, 2008. 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 September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, and were 18%, 19%, and 21% on a managed basis
for the comparable period. Commercial loans decreased by $7,864,000 or 9% during 2009 (decreased $20,925,000 or 12% on a managed basis), primarily reflecting reductions in asset-based and other secured commercial loans. Net commercial loans serviced
by third parties were $13,270,000 at September 30, 2009, $8,646,000 at December 31, 2008, and $12,838,000 at September 30, 2008.

The weighted average yield of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2009, was 12.65%, an increase of 68 basis points from 11.97% at December 31, 2008, and 72 basis points from 11.93% at
September 30, 2008. The increases reflect the higher proportion of higher-yielding mezzanine loans in the portfolio. The weighted average yield of the managed commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2009 was 9.51%, an increase of 58
basis points from 8.93% at December 31, 2008, and a decrease of 8

basis points from 9.59% at September 30, 2008. The changes in rates reflect the decline of market interest rates on the floating pool of loans, offset by higher levels of higher-rate
mezzanine loans. 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 September 30, 2009, variable-rate loans represented 18%
of the commercial portfolio, compared to 22% and 24% at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, and were 55%, 59%, and 58% 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%, 20% and 20% of the managed net investment portfolio as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. 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 18.01% at September 30, 2009, compared to 18.26% and 18.38% at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008.
Amortization of the portfolio purchase premium reduced the yield by an average of 0.14%, 0.25%, and 0.18% for the respective quarters. Adjustable rate loans represented 86% of the managed consumer portfolio at September 30, 2009, compared to
89% and 91% at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008.

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. Medallion loan delinquencies have remained relatively flat over the last year. The
economic recession has caused delinquencies in secured mezzanine financings to increase over 2008 due to lowered demand and consumer and industrial spending, which has impacted certain industrial and travel related customers. However, the
delinquency decreased in the 2009 third quarter, attributable to improved loan repayment. High unemployment rates continue to impact Medallion Banks customers, causing higher delinquency in the consumer recreational portfolio compared to
September 2008, and seasonal factors impacted its decline from year end. 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.

estimates of the current realizable value of the loan portfolio. These percentages represent the discount or premium that investments are carried on the books at, relative to their par or gross value.

Investment in Medallion Bank and Other Controlled Subsidiaries

Investment in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were 15%, 13%, and 12% of our total portfolio at September 30,
2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. 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 discussion 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 an aggregate of $1,750,000 contributed over the 2009 nine months, and
an aggregate of $6,000,000 contributed over in the 2008 nine months. Separately, Medallion Bank paid dividends to us of $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 in the 2009 and 2008 nine months. Without the capital infusions by us, a portion of the Medallion Bank
dividends would have been retained to ensure Medallion Bank met its capital ratio requirements, and in such circumstance, if we maintained our dividend at the existing levels, a portion of those dividends would have represented a tax-free return of
capital. 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 each of September 30,
2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. Equity investments were 1% of our total managed portfolio at each of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. Equity investments are comprised
of common stock, partnership interests, and warrants.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were 0% of our total portfolio at each of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30,
2008. Investment securities were 2% of our total managed portfolio at each of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. The investment securities are primarily US Treasuries and/or 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 that provide
for future 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008. Our average balances decreased and Medallion Banks average balances increased reflecting the sourcing of more businesses to Medallion Bank and an increase in loan participations sold during the year. 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 September 30, 2009 and 2008, short-term adjustable rate debt constituted 72% and 79% of total debt at both period ends,
and was 38% and 45% on a fully managed basis including the borrowings of Medallion Bank.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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

2009 Third Quarter and Nine Months compared to the 2008 Periods

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $2,889,000 or $0.16 per diluted common share and $6,781,000 or $0.38 in the 2009
third quarter and nine months, down $1,229,000 or 28% and $5,635,000 or 45% from $4,318,000 or $0.23 per share and $12,416,000 or $0.70 in the 2008 third quarter and nine months. The decrease from the 2008 quarter primarily reflected higher
operating expenses and lower net interest income, partially offset by higher net realized/unrealized gains and noninterest income; while the nine month decrease reflected lower net interest income, higher operating expenses, and lower net
realized/unrealized gains and noninterest income. Net investment income after taxes was $2,001,000 or $0.11 per share and $6,026,000 or $0.34 in the 2009 quarter and nine months, down $1,424,000 and $4,620,000 from $3,425,000 or $0.19 per share and
$10,646,000 or $0.60 in the 2008 periods.

Investment income was $10,196,000 and $31,544,000 in the 2009 third quarter and
nine months, down $1,547,000 or 13% and $7,373,000 or 19% from $11,743,000 and $38,917,000 in the year ago periods, and included $422,000 and $1,116,000 from interest recoveries and bonuses on certain investments in the 2009 quarter and nine months,
compared to $846,000 and $2,885,000 in the 2008 periods. Also included in the 2009 quarter and nine months was $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 in dividends from Medallion Bank, compared to $1,000,000 and $4,000,000 in the 2008 third quarter and nine
months. Excluding those items, investment income decreased $1,123,000 or 11% in the quarter and $4,604,000 or 14% in the nine months, primarily reflecting loan participations sold and loan prepayments, and to a lesser extent, changes in the yields
earned. The yield on the investment portfolio was 7.81% in the 2009 quarter, down 3% from 8.05% in 2008, and was 7.66% in the 2009 nine months, down 9% from 8.42% in the 2008 nine months. Excluding the extra interest and dividends, the 2009 third
quarter and nine months yields were down 1% and 4% to 6.73%

and 6.66%, from 6.78% and 6.93% in the 2008 quarter and nine months, reflecting the general decrease in market interest rates and changes in the portfolio mix. Average investments outstanding
were $517,482,000 and $550,759,000 in the 2009 quarter and nine months, both down 11% from $580,470,000 and $617,520,000 in the year ago periods, primarily reflecting loan participations sold and loan prepayments.

Medallion loans were $341,783,000 at quarter end, down $69,910,000 or 6% from $411,693,000 a year ago, representing 68% of the investment
portfolio compared to 71% a year ago, and were yielding 6.29% compared to 6.46% a year ago, a decrease of 3%. The decrease in outstandings primarily reflected sold participations and repayments, partially offset by portfolio growth. The managed
medallion portfolio, which includes loans at Medallion Bank and those serviced for third parties, was $578,489,000 at quarter end, up $9,517,000 or 2% from $568,972,000 a year ago, reflecting overall portfolio growth. The commercial loan portfolio
was $81,787,000 at quarter end, compared to $94,830,000 a year ago, a decrease of $13,043,000 or 14%, and represented 16% of the investment portfolio in both periods. The decrease primarily reflected repayments in the asset-based loan portfolio, as
well as smaller decreases in the other commercial loan portfolios. Commercial loans yielded 12.65% at quarter end, up 6% from 11.93% a year ago, reflecting the increased share of high-yield mezzanine loans. The net managed commercial loan portfolio,
which includes loans at Medallion Bank and those serviced for or by third parties, was $142,027,000 at quarter end, down $36,694,000 or 21% from $178,721,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting the changes described above, and decreases in the
asset-based and real estate loan portfolios at Medallion Bank. Investments in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were $77,544,000 at quarter end, up $6,333,000 or 9% from $71,211,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting the increased
investment in Medallion Bank, and our equity in the earnings of Medallion Bank, and which represented 15% of the investment portfolio, compared to 12% a year ago, and which yielded 6.45% at quarter end, compared to 9.37% a year ago. See Notes 3 and
10 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about Medallion Bank and the other controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments were $2,898,000 at quarter end, down $1,764,000 or 38% from $4,662,000 a year ago, primarily
reflecting portfolio depreciation, and represented 1% of the investment portfolio at both quarter ends, and had a dividend yield of 3.57%, compared to 4.45% a year ago. Investment securities were zero at both quarter ends. See page 30 for a table
that shows balances and yields by type of investment.

Interest expense was $4,174,000 and $13,056,000 in the 2009 quarter and
nine months, down $957,000 or 19% and $4,884,000 or 27% from $5,131,000 and $17,940,000 in the 2008 periods. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decreased cost of borrowed funds, and to a lesser extent, to decreased levels of
borrowings. The cost of borrowed funds was 4.15% and 4.05% in the 2009 quarter and nine months, compared to 4.54% and 4.89% in the year ago periods, decreases of 9% and 17%, reflecting the sharp declines in interest rates 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 $399,175,000 and $430,699,000 for the 2009 quarter and nine months, compared to $449,304,000 and $490,046,000 in the
year ago periods, decreases of 11% and 12%, primarily reflecting decreased borrowings as portfolio outstandings declined. See page 38 for a table which shows average balances and cost of funds for our funding sources.

Net interest income was $6,022,000 and $18,488,000 and the net interest margin was 4.62% and 4.49% for the 2009 third quarter and nine
months, down $590,000 or 9% and $2,489,000 or 12% from $6,612,000 and $20,977,000 in the year ago periods, which represented net interest margins of 4.53% and 4.54%, all reflecting the items discussed above.

Noninterest income, which is comprised of servicing fee income, prepayment fees, late charges, and other miscellaneous income was $963,000
and $2,427,000 in the 2009 third and nine months, up $168,000 or 21% and down $481,000 or 17% from $795,000 and $2,908,000 a year ago. Included in noninterest income for the 2008 nine months were unusually large prepayment penalties relating to the
payoffs of several large fleets of $550,000. Excluding those prepayment penalties, noninterest income increased 3% in the nine months. The increases primarily reflected higher servicing and other fees generated from a larger portfolio base at
Medallion Bank, partially offset by lower other prepayment penalties, audit and due diligence fees, and late charges, and in the nine months also by lower investment partnership income distributions.

Operating expenses were $4,984,000 and $14,889,000 in the 2009 third quarter and nine months, up $1,002,000 or 25% and $1,650,000 or 12%
from $3,982,000 and $13,239,000 in the 2008 periods. Salaries and benefits expense was $2,857,000 and $8,846,000 in the third quarter and nine months, up $149,000 or 6% and $794,000 or 10% from $2,708,000 and $8,052,000 in 2008, primarily reflecting
higher bonus accruals and an increase in salary levels, and lower salary deferrals related to loan originations. Professional fees were $467,000 and $1,546,000 in the quarter and nine months, up $142,000 or 44% and $265,000 or 21% from $325,000 and
$1,281,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting higher legal and other professional expenses, partially offset by lower accounting costs in the nine months. Rent expense was $308,000 and $882,000 in the 2009 quarter and nine months, up $103,000 or 50%
and $16,000 or 2% from $205,000 and $866,000 in the 2008 periods, primarily reflecting catch up rent reimbursements received from an unconsolidated portfolio company in the 2008 quarter. Other operating expenses of $1,352,000 and $3,615,000 in 2009
were up $608,000 or 82% and $575,000 or 19% from $744,000 and $3,040,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting higher travel and entertainment expense, loan collections costs, franchise tax accruals, director fees, and other operating expenses in
the quarter, partially offset by lower franchise tax accruals in the nine months.

Income tax expense was $0 in the 2009 and 2008 third quarters and nine months.

Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments was $402,000 and $2,159,000 in the 2009 third quarter and nine months, compared to
$585,000 and $5,639,000 in the 2008 third quarter and nine months, decreases in appreciation of $183,000 and $3,480,000. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation), net of the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Medallion Bank
and the other controlled subsidiaries was depreciation of $841,000 and appreciation of $1,208,000 in the 2009 quarter and nine months, compared to appreciation of $449,000 and $6,138,000 in the 2008 periods, resulting in decreased appreciation of
$1,290,000 in the quarter and $4,930,000 in the nine months. 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 2009 activity resulted from net appreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $1,243,000
($951,000 in the nine months), net unrealized appreciation on equity investments of $383,000 ($682,000 of depreciation in the nine months), and reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with fully depreciated loans which were charged off of
$23,000 ($2,392,000 in the nine months), partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on loans of $751,000 ($1,738,000 in the nine months), reversals of unrealized appreciation associated with foreclosed properties that were sold of $460,000
($900,000 in the nine months), and net depreciation on foreclosed property of $36,000 ($2,136,000 of appreciation in the nine months). The 2008 activity resulted from net unrealized appreciation on foreclosed property of $2,705,000 ($5,227,000 in
the nine months), net appreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $136,000 ($499,000 of depreciation in the nine months), and reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with fully depreciated loans which were charged off
of $0 ($5,230,000 in the nine months), partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on loans of $1,632,000 ($2,204,000 in the nine months), net unrealized depreciation on equity investments of $624,000 ($715,000 in the nine months), and reversals
of unrealized appreciation associated with foreclosed properties that were sold of $0 ($1,400,000 in the nine months). 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 and $3,000,000 in the 2009 third quarter and nine months, and $1,000,000 and $4,000,000 in the comparable 2008 periods.

Our net realized gains on investments were $486,000 in the 2009 quarter, and were losses of $1,404,000 in the 2009 nine months, compared to gains of $108,000 in the 2008 quarter, and losses of $3,869,000
in the 2008 nine months, reflecting increased gains of $378,000 in the quarter and reduced losses of $2,465,000 in the nine months. The 2009 activity reflected the reversals described in the unrealized paragraph above and net direct recoveries of
$49,000 ($71,000 in the nine months) and net direct gains on the sale of foreclosed properties of $0 ($17,000 in the nine months). The 2008 activity reflected the reversals described in the unrealized paragraph above and net direct recoveries of
$108,000 ($55,000 of charge offs in the nine months) and net direct gains on sales of equity and other investments of $0 ($30,000 in the nine months), partially offset by net direct losses on foreclosed properties of $0 ($14,000 in the nine months.

Our net realized/unrealized gains on investments were $888,000 and $755,000 in the 2009 quarter and nine months, compared to
gains of $693,000 and $1,770,000 in the 2008 periods, an increase of $195,000 of net gains in the 2009 quarter and a decrease of $1,015,000 of net gains in the nine months, 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 22% of our total indebtedness as of September 30, 2009.
Also, as of September 30, 2009, portions of the adjustable rate debt with banks repriced at intervals of as long as 36 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 September 30, 2009, compared to the respective positions at the end of 2008 and 2007. 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.

Our interest rate sensitive assets were $457,105,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities were $399,280,000 at September 30, 2009. The one-year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $147,581,000 or 32% of interest rate
sensitive assets, compared to a negative $240,998,000 or 46% at December 31, 2008 and $278,252,000 or 44% at December 31, 2007. However, using our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate
gap resulted in a negative gap of $46,336,000 or 10% at September 30, 2009. 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 $899,435,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities were $761,169,000 at September 30, 2009. The one year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $242,878,000 or 27% of interest rate
sensitive assets, compared to a negative $326,687,000 or 34% and $333,855,000 or 34% at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Using our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate gap resulted in a negative
gap of $101,573,000 or 11% at September 30, 2009.

Interest Rate Cap Agreements

We manage our exposure to increases in market rates of interest by periodically purchasing interest rate caps to lock in the cost of funds of
our 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
$202,000,000 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 the 2009 third quarter and are carried
at $0 on the balance sheet, and $133,000 and $171,000 were recorded in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company had no interest rate cap agreements or other derivative instruments outstanding during
2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity are the revolving lines of credit with Citibank and DZ Bank, unfunded commitments from the SBA for long-term
debentures that are issued to or guaranteed by the SBA, 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 IIs $225,000,000 line with Citibank had current availability until November, 2009 of $185,079,000 as of
September 30, 2009, and Trust IIIs $200,000,000 revolving line of credit with DZ Bank had $14,746,000 of availability. Medallion Capital had $8,500,000 of additional funding commitments with the SBA, which requires capital contributions
from us of up to $4,250,000. Since SBA financing subjects its recipients to certain regulations, we will seek funding at the subsidiary level to maximize its benefits. Lastly, $16,500,000 was available under revolving credit agreements with
commercial banks, and approximately $236,000 was available under our margin loan.

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 $75,500,000 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 September 30, 2009. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements on page 18 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



Page 44 of 64

##### Table of Contents

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 negatively impacted net increase in net assets resulting from operations as of September 30, 2009 by approximately
$997,000 on an annualized basis, compared to a negative impact of $1,702,000 at December 31, 2008, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been ($2,284,000) at September 30, 2009, compared to
($2,831,000) at December 31, 2008. 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.

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.

Based on current market conditions, we expect that Citibank may not extend the credit facility
beyond its current maturity date in November 2009. We have available liquidity of $14,746,000 under our revolving credit agreement with DZ Bank as of September 30, 2009. We also generate liquidity through deposits generated at Medallion Bank,
borrowing arrangements with other banks, and through the issuance of SBA debentures, 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, including sources of liquidity to repay our borrowings under the Citibank line; 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 September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset value per
Share or its Equivalent (FASB ASU 2009-12). FASB ASU 2009-12 amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, and permits in certain circumstances a reporting entity to measure the fair value of
an investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the

investment. Additionally, the update requires additional disclosures such as the nature of any restrictions on the investors ability to redeem its investments at the
measurement date, any unfunded commitments and the investment strategies of the investees. FASB ASU 2009-12 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company does
not expect adoption of FASB ASU 2009-12 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (FASB ASU 2009-05). FASB ASU 2009-05 provides amendments
to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, clarifies the techniques a reporting entity should use in valuing a liability in circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not
available, as well as clarifying that the requirements needed for Level 1 fair value measurements when the quoted price of an identical liability is utilized. FASB ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after
issuance. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 860, Transfer and Servicing, which among other things, removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, and
changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. Additionally, the update requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions and areas where companies have
continued exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the update
will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 810,
Consolidation, which, among other things, (i) require an entity to perform an analysis to determine whether an entitys variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity;
(ii) require ongoing reassessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity;
(iii) amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity; and (iv) require enhanced disclosure that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an entitys
involvement in a variable interest entity. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on its
financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 805, Business
Combinations. The update amends and clarifies ASC Topic 805 to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement, subsequent measurement
and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The update is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that this update will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

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 at 59 Maiden
Lane, New York, NY, 10038.

the additional $10,000,000 of common stock by the end of such period, we are permitted to extend the stock repurchase program for additional 180-day periods until we have repurchased the total amount authorized. In October 2009, we extended the
terms of the Stock Repurchase Program. Purchases are to commence no earlier than November 2009 and are to conclude 180 days after the commencement of the purchases.

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 12 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 has entered into a period of severe recession, and forecasts for 2009 generally call for a weakening economy in the United States, with the continuation of the economic recession and
possibly an economic depression. 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.

In addition, based on current
market conditions, we believe Citibank may not extend the credit facility beyond its current maturity date in November 2009. We are actively seeking additional sources of liquidity, including sources of liquidity to repay our borrowings under the
Citibank facility; 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.

##### Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2009, we had $399,280,000 of outstanding indebtedness, which had a
weighted average borrowing cost of 3.50% at September 30, 2009, and our wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio companies, primarily Medallion Bank, had $361,889,000 of outstanding indebtedness at a weighted average borrowing cost of 2.07%.

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.

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

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | 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 September 30, 2009, up to 24% 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 September 30, 2009, our largest investment subject to this



Page 51 of 64

##### Table of Contents

test was our investment in Medallion Bank, representing 23% 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 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



Page 52 of 64



---

##### Table of Contents

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.

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 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 September 30, 2009 our net unrealized depreciation on investments other than in controlled subsidiaries and foreclosed properties was $4,305,000 or
0.85% 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



Page 53 of 64



---

##### Table of Contents

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 negatively impacted net increase in net assets resulting from operations as of September 30, 2009 by approximately $997,000 on an annualized basis, compared to a negative impact of $1,702,000
at December 31, 2008, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been ($2,284,000) at September 30, 2009, compared to ($2,831,000) at December 31, 2008. 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
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 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 September 30, 2009, investments in New York City taxi medallion loans represented approximately 76% 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 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 $760,000 for corporate medallions and $573,000
for individual medallions. However, for sustained periods during that time, taxicab medallions have declined in value. Since December 31, 2007, the value of New York City taxicab medallions increased by approximately 35% for individual
medallions and 27% 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.

Our investments in special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, may be subject to forfeit.

The initial public offering of units in our first SPAC, Sports Properties Acquisition Corp. was consummated in
January, 2008. Sports Properties has 24 months from the date of its prospectus to complete a business combination. If Sports Properties fails to consummate a business combination within the required time frame, its corporate existence will cease
except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and liquidating its assets. We own shares of the common stock of Sports Properties that were issued prior to Sports Properties offering, but we have waived our right to receive distributions
with respect to those shares upon the liquidation of Sports Properties. Additionally, we have purchased warrants directly from Sports Properties in a private placement prior to the effective date of Sports Properties prospectus. Upon
consummation of Sports Properties offering, we owned 18% of Sports Properties issued and outstanding common stock. If Sports Properties does not consummate a business combination within the required time frame, we will not receive a
return on our investment and we will lose our investment.

We also agreed to indemnify Sports Properties upon Sports
Properties liquidation for all claims of any vendors, service providers, or other entities that are owed money by Sports Properties for services rendered, or contracted for, or products sold to



Page 56 of 64

##### Table of Contents

Sports Properties, or the claims of any target businesses to the extent that Sports Properties fails to obtain valid and enforceable waivers from such vendors, service providers, prospective
target businesses, or other entities in order to protect the amounts held in Sports Properties trust account. In the event of a liquidation of Sports Properties, we may not only lose the amount of capital we invested in Sports Properties, but
we may also be liable to Sports Properties under those indemnification obligations. At September 30, 2009, the SPACs liabilities exceeded its cash on hand by $699,000, and in addition, owed the Company $85,000. If the SPAC does not
consummate a business combination, its intention is to negotiate these liabilities downwards, seeking forbearance from those associated with a failed deal. However, since the results of such negotiations cannot be anticipated, the Company has
accrued $200,000 to cover the SPACs shortfall.

We have formed a second SPAC, National Security Solutions Inc., that is
currently in registration and that will seek a business combination in the homeland defense and security industries. If the offering of units of National Security is successful, our investment in National Security will be subject to similar
forfeiture risk if it does not consummate a business combination. In addition, we will provide a similar indemnity to protect the amounts held in National Securitys trust account.

We have paid expenses relating to the SPACs for which we will not be reimbursed.

Pursuant to a consulting agreement between us and ProEminent Sports, LLC, Tony Tavares acts as a consultant to us for sports related
investments and, included within the scope of his duties, is his service to Sports Properties. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Mr. Tavares has, among other things, agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Sports Properties, help it
identify a target business, perform due diligence on the proposed target, and negotiate and consummate a business combination with such a target business. Following a business combination, in the event Mr. Tavares is not offered employment or a
board position with Sports Properties, we have agreed to continue the consulting arrangement for at least an additional twelve months. For the services rendered by ProEminent Sports, LLC to us, we pay ProEminent Sports a monthly fee of $20,000,
which during 2009 was reduced to $10,000. ProEminent Sports has agreed to forego its monthly fee for the duration of the life of the SPAC. Sports Properties advisors, Robert Caporale and Randel E. Vataha, are Chairman and President,
respectively, and each own 50% of, the membership interests of Game Plan LLC. We were also a party to an agreement with Game Plan LLC which was terminated as of June 1, 2008 pursuant to which Game Plan LLC provided certain consulting services
to us and to Sports Properties, including advising in identifying a target business. For the services rendered by Game Plan to us, we paid Game Plan a monthly fee of $10,000. The fees paid by us pursuant to the consulting agreements are solely borne
by us and were not reimbursed by Sports Properties. We are also a party to an agreement with Graidan Ventures LLC, which was amended as of June 1, 2008, when Sports Properties entered into its own agreement with Graidan Ventures. Under the
prior agreement, the principal of Graidan Ventures provides us with general consulting, managerial, and investment banking advice relating to our investments in both SPACs and other investment opportunities. For these services, we paid Graidan
Ventures a monthly fee of $18,750. Under the amended and restated agreement, Graidan Ventures provides us with general consulting, managerial, and investment banking advice related to our investment in National Security and other investment
opportunities for these services, we pay Graidan Ventures a monthly fee of $3,750.

Pursuant to letter agreements which the
founding stockholders entered into with Sports Properties and the underwriters, the founding stockholders waived their rights to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares should Sports Properties be liquidated.

In the event of liquidation, Sports Properties will pay the costs of liquidation from the remaining assets outside of the Trust Account. To
the extent such funds are not available, Medallion has agreed to provide Sports Properties the necessary funds (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $200,000 in the event that Sports Properties corporate existence ceases by
operation of law), and has agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

If the SPACs are successful in consummating
a business combination, we will face restrictions limiting our ability to liquidate our common stock in such SPAC.

The
privately issued shares and warrants of Sports Properties were placed in escrow and will not be released to us before one year from the business combination, except in very limited circumstances. In addition, the privately issued shares and warrants
will become freely tradable only after they are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. We have further agreed that we will not sell or transfer any shares of Sports Properties common stock purchased by us pursuant to our
limit order agreement with Banc of America Securities LLC until 180 days after Sports Properties has completed a business combination. If the offering of units of National Security is successful, we will face similar restrictions limiting our
ability to liquidate our common stock.

Our executive officers and directors may allocate some portion of their time to
the business of the SPACs, which may create conflicts of interest.

Our investment in Sports Properties may
create conflicts of interest. Andrew M. Murstein, our President and a director, serves as the Vice Chairman and Secretary of Sports Properties. Larry D. Hall, our Chief Financial Officer, serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Sports Properties.
Henry L. Aaron, Mario M. Cuomo, and Stanley Kreitman serve as our directors and as directors of Sports Properties. Messrs. Murstein, Hall, Aaron, and Cuomo entered into an agreement with Sports Properties and with Sports Properties
underwriter(s) whereby they agreed, and Mr. Kreitman is anticipated to enter into an agreement with Sports

Properties whereby he will agree, to present to Sports Properties, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, opportunities to acquire entities, until the earlier of Sports
Properties consummation of a business combination, liquidation, or until such time as they cease to be an officer or director of Sports Properties, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligation they have. We also entered into
an agreement with Sports Properties and with Sports Properties underwriter(s) whereby we agreed to present to Sports Properties, prior to our own consideration or presentation to any other person or entity, opportunities to acquire entities in
the sports, leisure, or entertainment industries that, in our reasonable discretion, have a value equal to or exceeding 80% of Sports Properties total assets held in trust, which are currently estimated at approximately $214,822,000, at the
time that we become aware of such opportunity. Andrew Murstein has agreed to serve as Vice Chairman, Executive Vice President, and Secretary of National Security. Larry D. Hall has agreed to serve as Chief Financial Officer of National Security.
Stanley Kreitman, Frederick Menowitz, David Rudnick, and Lowell Weicker serve as our directors and have agreed to serve as directors of National Security. If the offering of units of National Security is successful, our executive officers and
directors are anticipated to enter into similar agreements with National Security, as are we, with respect to opportunities in the homeland defense and security industries.

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
