PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

We, Medallion Financial Corp. or the Company, are a
closed-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Delaware corporation. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. We are a
specialty finance company that has a leading position in originating, acquiring, and servicing loans that finance taxicab medallions and various types of commercial businesses. A wholly-owned portfolio company of ours, Medallion Bank, also
originates consumer loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. Since 1996, the year in which we became a public company, we have increased our taxicab medallion loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate
of 6%, and our commercial loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 2% (10% and 8% 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 12%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by Medallion Bank, were $1,113,595,000 as of
September 30, 2011, and $1,093,379,000 and $1,059,666,000 as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, and have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 12% from $215,000,000 at the end of 1996. Since our initial public offering
in 1996, we have paid dividends in excess of $164,336,000 or $10.40 per share.

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



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



| |  |  | Medallion Capital, Inc., or Medallion Capital, an SBIC and a regulated investment company, or 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.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In December 2010, we formed a wholly-owned portfolio company, Medallion Servicing Corporation, or MSC, to
provide loan services to Medallion Bank, also a portfolio company wholly-owned by us. We have assigned all of our loan servicing rights for Medallion Bank, which consists of servicing taxi medallion and commercial loans originated by Medallion Bank,
to MSC, which bills and collects the related service fee income from Medallion Bank, and is allocated and charged by the Company for MSCs share of these servicing costs.

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

In addition, we conduct business through a wholly-owned portfolio company, Medallion Bank, a bank regulated by the FDIC and the Utah
Department of Financial Institutions which originates taxicab medallion, commercial, and consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities. Medallion Bank generally provides us with our lowest cost of funds which it raises
through bank certificates of deposit issued to its customers. To take advantage of this low cost of funds, we refer a portion of our taxicab medallion and commercial loans to Medallion Bank, which then originates these loans, which are then serviced
by MSC. MSC earns 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, 2011.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net
assets, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2010.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

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

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

In December 2010, we formed a wholly-owned portfolio company, Medallion Servicing Corporation (MSC), to provide loan services to Medallion Bank, also a portfolio company wholly-owned by us. We have
assigned all of our loan servicing rights for Medallion Bank, which consists of servicing taxi medallion and commercial loans originated by Medallion Bank, to MSC, who bills and collects the related service fee income from Medallion Bank, and is
allocated and charged by the Company for MSCs share of these servicing costs.

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

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 by the Small Business Administration (SBA). MCI and FSVC are financed in part by the
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 $202,717,000 at September 30, 2011, 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 $36,164,000 at September 30,
2011, are not available to pay obligations of its affiliates or any other party, and the assets of affiliates or any other party are not available to pay obligations of Fin Trust.

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

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

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

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

##### Table of Contents

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

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the US requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be the most critical to an
understanding of the consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect managements best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their
effects based on information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which
may result in future impairments of loans receivable, loans held for sale, and 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 20% and 17% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 $2,269,000 and $1,669,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and
non-marketable securities of $2,486,000 and $3,120,000 in the comparable periods. The $85,264,000 and $78,735,000 related to portfolio investments in controlled subsidiaries at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were all
non-marketable in each period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations, managements estimates of the values of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments
existed, and the differences could be material.

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

A majority
of the Companys investments consist of long-term loans to persons defined by SBA regulations as socially or economically disadvantaged, or to entities that are at least 50% owned by such persons. Approximately 67% of the Companys
investment portfolio at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 had arisen in connection with the financing of taxicab medallions, taxicabs, and related assets, of which 75% and 74% were in New York City at September 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010. 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 (13% and 16% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010) 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 20% of these loans are made primarily in the metropolitan New York City area, with the balance widely scattered across the United States. Investments in controlled
unconsolidated subsidiaries, equity investments, and investment securities were 19%, 1%, and 0% at September 30, 2011 and 16%, 1%, and 0% at December 31, 2010.

On a managed basis, which includes the investments of Medallion Bank after eliminating the Companys investment in Medallion Bank, medallion loans were 62% at September 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 (78% and 76% in New York City at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010), commercial loans were 14% and 16%, and 21% and 19% were consumer loans in all 50 states collateralized by recreational vehicles, boats,
motorcycles, and trailers. Investment securities were 2% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and equity investments (including investments in controlled subsidiaries) were 1%.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related loans. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net loan
origination costs (fees) were $322,000 and ($27,000). Net amortization income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was ($20,000) and $113,000, and was $18,000 and $249,000 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no premiums or discounts on investment
securities, and their related income accretion or amortization was immaterial for 2011 and 2010.

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, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010, total nonaccrual loans were $30,552,000, $22,477,000, and $22,138,000, and represented 8%, 5%, and 6% of the gross medallion and commercial
loan portfolio at each period end, and were primarily concentrated in the secured mezzanine portfolio. The amount of interest income on nonaccrual loans that would have been recognized if the loans had been paying in accordance with their original
terms was $13,771,000, $10,612,000, and $9,607,000 as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010, of which $1,469,000 and $1,129,000 would have been recognized in the quarters ended September 30, 2011
and 2010, and $3,521,000 and $2,497,000 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 and its affiliates was $423,356,000 and $386,034,000 at September 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, and included $351,303,000 and $332,053,000 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010. In December 2010, the Company assigned its servicing rights to the Medallion Bank portfolio to MSC, a
wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio investment. The costs of servicing are allocated to MSC by the Company, and the servicing fee income is billed and collected from Medallion Bank by MSC.

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 $10,113,000, $10,093,000, and $10,707,000 as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. 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 2011 and 2010 quarters shown below.

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles  Goodwill and Other, the Company tests its goodwill for impairment, and engages a consultant to help management evaluate its carrying value.
The results of this evaluation demonstrated no impairment in goodwill for any period evaluated, and management believes, and the Board of Directors concurs, that there is no impairment as of September 30, 2011. 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 $36,000 and $48,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and
2010, and was $117,000 and $146,000 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 $320,000 and $308,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and was $783,000 and $794,000 for the comparable
nine months. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain costs for transactions in the process of completion (other than business combinations), including those for potential investments, and the sourcing of other financing alternatives. Upon
completion or termination of the transaction, any accumulated amounts will be amortized against income over an appropriate period, or written off, including $485,000 related to costs associated with a cancelled equity offering, written off in the
2010 third and fourth quarters. The amounts on the balance sheet for all of these purposes were $2,858,000, $2,854,000, and $3,339,000 as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company and each of its major subsidiaries other than Medallion Bank and Medallion Funding LLC (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 2010 and 2009, and
anticipates qualifying and filing as a RIC for 2011. As a result, no provisions for income taxes have been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. State and local tax treatment follows the federal model.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, based on developments under the Code and after discussions with external advisers, the
Companys Board of Directors determined that the loans received in connection with the Companys lending activities were accounts or notes receivables acquired in the ordinary course of a trade or business for services for
purposes of Section 1221(a)(4) of the Code. As a result, commencing with the tax year beginning January 1, 2010, the Company intends to treat losses recognized on worthless loans as ordinary losses rather than as capital losses. The
Companys Board of Directors further determined that the Company may take such position in tax returns subsequently filed without obtaining prior IRS approval.

The change in the characterization of a loss resulting from a worthless loan from a capital loss to an ordinary loss could materially impact the amount or character of the dividends received by the
Companys shareholders. The Company is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income in order to maintain its RIC status. In the event losses from worthless loans are treated as ordinary losses, those losses will offset taxable income in the
taxable year in which such losses are recognized. This could result in a decrease in the Companys taxable income which could result in a decrease in the Companys dividend. Alternatively, if the Company chooses to maintain its current
level of dividend, an increased portion of the dividend could be deemed to be a return of capital to the shareholder.

The
Company has filed tax returns in many states. Federal, New York State, and New York City tax filings of the Company for the tax years 2008 through the present are the more significant filings that are open for examination.

Medallion Bank is not a RIC and is taxed as a regular corporation. Fin Trust, Medallion Funding LLC, 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.

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, or if restricted stock vests, and has been computed after giving consideration to the weighted average dilutive effect of the Companys stock options and restricted stock. 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, including unvested compensation expense related to the shares, in computing diluted
EPS. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

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

##### Table of Contents

Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the above calculations aggregated 388,502
and 1,153,020 shares as of September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Stock Compensation

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718), Compensation  Stock Compensation, for its
stock option and restricted stock 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. Stock-based employee compensation costs pertaining to restricted stock are reflected in net increase in net assets resulting from operations for any new grants, using the grant date fair value of the shares granted, expensed
over the vesting period of the underlying stock.

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,
2011, the Company issued 68,740 restricted shares of stock-based compensation awards, and recognized $56,000 and $172,000 in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, or $0.00 and $0.01 per diluted common share for each period, of non-cash stock-based
compensation expense related to the grants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted no options and options for 68,500 shares of stock-based compensation awards, and recognized $56,000 and $170,000, or
$0.00 and $0.01 per diluted common share for each period of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the grants. As of September 30, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and
restricted stock was $484,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next ten 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. Beginning in 2009, the Company entered into contracts to purchase interest rate caps on $512,000,000 of notional value of principal from various
multinational banks, of which $175,000,000 are active with termination dates ranging to March 2013. The caps provide for payments to the Company if various LIBOR thresholds are exceeded during the cap terms. Total cap purchases of $407,000 were
generally fully expensed when paid, including $5,000 and $93,000 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $142,000 for both comparable 2010 periods, and all are carried at $0 on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011.

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the net premium on investment securities totaled $222,000 and $164,000, and $16,000 and $40,000 was
amortized into interest income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and $14,000 and $51,000 were amortized in the comparable 2010 periods.

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, 2011,
$2,388,000 or 1% of consumer loans, and no commercial or medallion loans were on nonaccrual, compared to $2,686,000 or 1% of consumer loans, $329,000 or less than 1% of commercial loans, and no medallion loans on nonaccrual at December 31,
2010, and $2,873,000 or 1% of consumer loans, $385,000 or 1% of commercial loans, and no medallion loans on nonaccrual at September 30, 2010. 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 $100,000, $138,000, and $278,000 as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010.

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 $31,000 and $121,000 was amortized into interest income in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, and $45,000 and $152,000 was amortized into interest income in the
comparable 2010 periods. The premium amount on the balance sheet was $209,000 and $330,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $1,019,000 and $883,000, and $257,000 and $800,000 was amortized to interest
expense during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and $262,000 and $750,000 was amortized in the comparable 2010 periods. Interest on the deposits is accrued daily and paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or at
maturity.

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. Separately, Medallion Bank declared dividends to the Company
of $1,000,000 in each of the 2011 and 2010 third quarters, and $3,000,000 in each of the 2011 and 2010 nine months.

On
February 27, 2009 and December 22, 2009, Medallion Bank issued, and the US Treasury purchased under the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the CPP) Medallion Banks fixed rate non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, B, C, and
D for an aggregate purchase price of $21,498,000 in cash. On July 21, 2011, Medallion Bank issued, and the US Treasury purchased 26,303 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E (Series E) for an aggregate purchase
price of $26,303,000 under the Small Business Lending Fund Program (SBLF). The SBLF is a voluntary program intended to encourage small business lending by providing capital to qualified smaller banks at favorable rates. In connection with the
issuance of the Series E, the Bank exited the CPP by redeeming the Series A, B, C, and D. In addition, the Bank received additional funds of approximately $4,000,000 million, net of dividends due on the repaid securities. The Bank will pay an
initial dividend rate of 1% on the Series E.

The following table represents Medallion Banks actual capital amounts and
related ratios as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, compared to required regulatory minimum capital ratios and the ratio required to be considered well capitalized. As of September 30, 2011, 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 $169,633,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2011. 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 (0.24% at September 30, 2011) plus 0.75%, or 90 day LIBOR (0.37% at September 30,
2011) plus 0.50%; plus 0.95%.

In December 2006, 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), which was paid off in March 2010, in advance of the May 2010 maturity. In November 2008, the line of credit was
reduced to $225,000,000, and was further reduced to $35,000,000 in November 2009. Borrowings under Trust IIs revolving line of credit were collateralized by Trust IIs assets. MFC was the servicer of the loans owned by Trust II. The Citi
line included a borrowing base covenant and rapid amortization in certain circumstances. In addition, if certain financial tests were not met, MFC could have been replaced as the servicer. The interest rate was a pooled short-term commercial paper
rate, which approximated LIBOR plus 1.07% with a facility fee of 1.50% on the aggregate Citi line, and prior to November 2009 was plus 0.82% with a facility fee of 0.15% on the aggregate Citi line.

(B) SBA DEBENTURES

In September 2010, the SBA approved a $5,000,000 commitment for MCI to issue additional debentures during a four year period upon payment of a 1% fee. The SBA also approved a $7,485,000 commitment for
FSVC to issue additional debentures during a four year period upon payment of a 1% fee, for the purpose of repaying $7,485,000 of debentures which matured in September 2011, which were issued on March 1, 2011 and used to prepay the September
2011 maturing 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, 2011, $106,985,000 of commitments had been fully utilized, and $5,000,000 was available for borrowing.

The notes are collateralized by substantially all of 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.

(C) NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into (i) note agreements and (ii) participation agreements
with a variety of local and regional banking institutions over the years. The notes are typically secured by various assets of the underlying borrower. The Company believes the participation agreements represent legal true sales of the loans to the
lender, but for accounting purposes these participations are treated as financings, and are included in funds borrowed as shown on our consolidated balance sheets.

The table below summarizes the key attributes of our various borrowing arrangements with banks as of September 30, 2011.

(D) PREFERRED SECURITIES

In June 2007, the Company issued and sold $36,083,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured junior subordinated notes to Fin Trust
which, in turn, sold $35,000,000 of preferred securities to Merrill Lynch International and issued 1,083 shares of common stock to the Company. The notes bear a fixed rate of interest of 7.68% to September 2012, and thereafter a variable rate of
interest of 90 day LIBOR (0.37% at September 30, 2011) plus 2.13%. The notes mature in September 2037, and are prepayable at par on or after September 6, 2012. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The terms of the preferred securities
and the notes are substantially identical. At September 30, 2011, $33,000,000 was outstanding on the preferred securities. In December 2007, $2,000,000 of the preferred securities were repurchased from a third party investor.

(E) COVENANT COMPLIANCE

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

(5) STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

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, 2011, 160,605 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, 2011, no 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 became 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 on
June 11, 2010. 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, which at the time
of issuance, is subject to certain forfeiture provisions, and thus is 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, and as of September 30, 2011, 731,382 shares of the Companys common stock remained available for future grants. 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, 2011, 1,421,429 options on the Companys common stock were outstanding under the 1996 and 2006 plans, of which 1,352,873 options
were exercisable, and there were 68,618 unvested shares of the Companys common stock outstanding under the Employee Restricted Stock Plan.

The fair value of each restricted stock grant is determined on the date of grant by the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the 2011 third quarter and nine months. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.96 per share for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010. The following assumption categories are used to determine the value of any option grants.

Prepayment fees decreased in the 2011 third quarter compared to the 2010 third quarter due to a lower
level of prepayment activity as interest rates appear to have bottomed, and also reflected the prepayment of several larger customers in the 2010 periods. The decrease in servicing fees in the 2011 third quarter and nine months primarily reflected
the absence of servicing fees from Medallion Bank, which are reflected as income earned by MSC, an unconsolidated portfolio investment of the Company, beginning in December 2010.

Most expense categories were lower in the 2011 periods as a result of the costs which are being allocated
to MSC for servicing-related activities. Additionally, loan collections and other investment costs increased reflecting $942,000 of accrued costs relating to a proposed investment opportunity in the 2011 nine months, and also reflected $1,312,000 of
expense reversals related to the costs of winding up the operations of the SPACs in the 2010 nine months that were reclassified to realized losses on investments, and $310,000 that was reversed as a result of favorable negotiations with the
creditors of SPAC. Travel, meals, and entertainment increased in the 2011 nine months compared to the prior year due to an increase in investment development activities. Miscellaneous taxes were lower in the 2011 nine months due to higher franchise
and excise taxes in the prior year. Other expenses decreased due to a reserve established for capitalized transaction costs in the prior periods.

formerly were the Companys, were now MSCs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Excluding the impact of the MSC amounts, the total expense ratio, operating expense ratio, and net investment income ratio would have
been 20%, 11%, and 3.30% in the quarter, and 21%, 12%, and 4.61% in the nine months.

(9) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08
amends Topic 350 (Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as
a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe adoption will have an impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International
Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement) by providing a consistent definition of fair value, ensuring that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between
US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is
effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have on its disclosures, and does
not believe adoption will have an impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

In December 2010, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, the objective of which was to address diversity in practice
about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The update specifies that a public entity which presents comparative financial statements should disclose revenue and earnings of
the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual period only. The amendments in this update are applicable to any public entity which
enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis and is effective for 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, 2010 with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU 2010-29 has not had an impact on the financial condition of the Company as it only amends future pro forma disclosures of material business
combinations.

(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, and were subject to various regulatory constraints imposed by the TARP program (see Note 3).

A member of the Board of Directors of the Company since 1996 is also of counsel in the Companys primary law firm. Amounts paid to
the law firm were approximately $143,000 and $160,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and were $407,000 and $444,000 for the comparable nine months.

At September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010, we serviced $351,303,000, $332,053,000, and
$312,097,000 in loans for Medallion Bank. Included in net investment income were amounts as described in the table below that were received from Medallion Bank for services rendered in originating and servicing loans, and also for reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred on their behalf:

In December 2010, the Company assigned its servicing rights to the Medallion Bank portfolio to MSC, a
wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio investment. The costs of servicing are allocated to MSC by the Company, and the servicing fee income is billed and collected from Medallion Bank by MSC. As a result, $1,389,000 and $4,145,000 of servicing fee
income was earned by MSC in the 2011 third quarter and nine months.

SPAC

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

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

The Company had agreed to indemnify the SPAC in the event of the SPACs liquidation for all claims of any vendors, service providers, or other entities that are owed money by the SPAC for services
rendered or contracted for, or for products sold to the SPAC, including claims of any prospective acquisition targets. At December 31, 2009, the SPACs liabilities exceeded its cash on hand by $1,581,000. The SPAC negotiated these
liabilities downwards, and obtained forbearance from those associated with a failed deal, and during 2010, $1,292,000 of the expenses were paid, $310,000 were forgiven, including $495,000 and $217,000, respectively, in the 2010 first quarter, and
there were no remaining claims outstanding.

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

SPAC 2

Included in deferred costs in other assets at December 31, 2009 was $759,000 of investments in and loans to a special purpose
acquisition company, National Security Solutions, Inc. (SPAC 2), 74%-owned by the Company, which was in organization prior to registration with the SEC to register units for sale in an initial public offering. As a result of the market conditions
which led to the failure of the SPAC, it was determined to cease activities related to SPAC 2, and as a result, the investment was fully reserved for with a $759,000 charge to unrealized depreciation during the year ended December 31, 2009, and
was fully written off to realized losses in the 2010 first quarter. In addition, the Company had additional realized losses of $20,000 in 2010.

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, whether assets, liabilities, or off-balance-sheet commitments, if
practicable. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. Fair value estimates that were derived from broker quotes cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets
and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

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

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

(c) Commitments to
extend credit -The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and present creditworthiness of the counter
parties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also includes a consideration of the difference between the current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated fair
value of these off-balance-sheet instruments was not material.

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

(12) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company accounts for substantially all of its financial
instruments at fair value or considers fair value in its measurement, in accordance with the accounting guidance for investment companies. See Note 2 sections Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities and Investment Valuation for
a description of our valuation methodology which is unchanged during 2011.

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

##### Table of Contents

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

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

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

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



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



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



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



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

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

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

The following tables present Medallions fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through November 3, 2011, the date of financial statement
issuance.

payable on November 23, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2011.

In October 2011, we extended the terms
of the Stock Repurchase Program. Purchases were to commence no earlier than November 2011 and are to conclude 180 days after the commencement of the purchases.

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 6%, and our commercial loan portfolio at a compound annual growth rate of 2% (10% and 8% 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 12%. Total assets under our management, which includes assets serviced for third party investors and managed by
Medallion Bank, were $1,113,595,000 as of September 30, 2011, and $1,093,379,000 and $1,059,666,000 as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, and have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 12% from $215,000,000 at the end of
1996. Since our initial public offering in 1996, we have paid dividends in excess of $164,336,000 or $10.40 per share.

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



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



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

##### Table of Contents

In December 2010, we formed a wholly-owned portfolio company, Medallion Servicing
Corporation, or MSC, to provide loan services to Medallion Bank, also a portfolio company wholly-owned by us. We have assigned all of our loan servicing rights for Medallion Bank, which consists of servicing taxi medallion and commercial loans
originated by Medallion Bank, to MSC, who bills and collects the related service fee income from Medallion Bank, and is allocated and charged by the Company for MSCs share of these servicing costs.

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. We earn referral fees for these activities. In December 2010, all of these servicing activities were assigned to MSC. As a non-investment company, Medallion Bank is not consolidated with the Company, which is an investment company under the
1940 Act.

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 have recently experienced 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.

In the 2010 fourth quarter,
based on developments under the Code and after discussions with external advisers, our Board of Directors determined that the loans received in connection with our lending activities were accounts or notes receivables acquired in the ordinary
course of a trade or business for services for purposes of Section 1221(a)(4) of the Code. As a result, commencing with the tax year beginning January 1, 2010, we intend to treat losses recognized on worthless loans as ordinary
losses rather than as capital losses. Our Board of Directors further determined that we may take such position in tax returns subsequently filed without obtaining prior IRS approval.

The change in the characterization of a loss resulting from a worthless loan from a capital loss to an ordinary loss could materially
impact the amount or character of the dividends received by our shareholders. We are required to distribute 90% of our taxable income in order to maintain our RIC status. In the event losses from worthless loans are treated as ordinary losses, those
losses will offset taxable income in the taxable year in which such losses are recognized. This could result in a decrease in our taxable income which could result in a decrease in our dividend. Alternatively, if we choose to maintain our current
level of dividend, an increased portion of the dividend could be deemed to be a return of capital to the shareholder.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

Total Portfolio Yield

The weighted average yield of the total portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 6.48% (6.92% for the loan portfolio), a decrease of 41 basis points from 6.89% at December 31, 2010, and a decrease of
34 basis points from 6.82% at September 30, 2010. The weighted average yield of the total managed portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 8.52%, (8.70% for the loan portfolio), a decrease of 15 basis points from 8.67% at December 31,
2010, and a decrease of 25 basis points from 8.77% at September 30, 2010. The decreases from 2010 reflected the general market condition of falling interest rates, the changes in the portfolio mix, and portfolio repricing.

Medallion Loan Portfolio

Our medallion loans comprised 67% of the net portfolio of $452,982,000 at September 30, 2011, compared to 67% of the net portfolio of $483,516,000 at December 31, 2010, and 69% of $471,930,000
at September 30, 2010. Our managed medallion loans of $580,788,000 comprised 62% of the net managed portfolio of $942,355,000 at September 30, 2011, compared to 62% of the net managed portfolio of $946,343,000 at December 31, 2010,
and 63% of $922,317,000 at September 30, 2010. The medallion loan portfolio decreased by $19,183,000 or 6% in 2011 (a decrease of $2,805,000 or less than 1% on a managed basis), primarily reflecting the movement of loans to Medallion Bank and
participations sold. Total medallion loans serviced for third parties were $84,673,000, $63,933,000, and $53,568,000 at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010.

The weighted average yield of the medallion loan portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 5.59%, a decrease of 31 basis points from 5.90%
at December 31, 2010, and a decrease of 39 basis points from 5.98% at September 30, 2010. The weighted average yield of the managed medallion loan portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 5.41%, a decrease of 34 basis points from 5.75% at
December 31, 2010, and a decrease of 44 basis points from 5.85% at September 30, 2010. The decrease in yield primarily reflected the impact of falling interest rates in the economy and the effects of borrower refinancings. At
September 30, 2011, 25% of the medallion loan portfolio represented loans outside New York, compared to 26% at December 31, 2010 and 24% at September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011, 22% of the managed medallion loan portfolio
represented loans outside New York, compared to 24% at December 31, 2010 and 23% at September 30, 2010. We continue to focus our efforts on originating higher yielding medallion loans outside the New York market.

Commercial Loan Portfolio

Our commercial loans represented 13%, 16%, and 14% of the net investment portfolio as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010, and were 14%, 16%, and 14% on a
managed basis. Commercial loans decreased by $17,846,000 or 23% during 2011 (decreased $16,228,000 or 11% on a managed basis), primarily reflecting payoffs and valuation adjustments in the secured mezzanine portfolio. Net commercial loans serviced
by third parties were $14,029,000 at September 30, 2011, $12,282,000 at December 31, 2010, and $11,930,000 at September 30, 2010.

The weighted average yield of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 12.34%, a decrease of 10 basis points from 12.44% at December 31, 2010, and an increase of 13 basis points
from 12.21% at September 30, 2010. The weighted average yield of the managed commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 9.05%, a decrease of 39 basis points from 9.44% at December 31, 2010, and a decrease of 17 basis points
from 9.22% at September 30, 2010, reflecting the stabilization of interest rates in the economy. 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, 2011, variable-rate loans represented approximately 12% of the commercial portfolio, compared to 20% and 18% at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, and were 54% for all three periods
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 21%, 19%, and 20% of the managed
net investment portfolio as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. Medallion Bank originates adjustable rate consumer loans secured by recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles, and trailers located in
all 50 states. The portfolio is serviced by a third party subsidiary of a major commercial bank.

The weighted average gross
yield of the managed consumer loan portfolio was 17.77% at September 30, 2011, compared to 17.94% and 17.95% at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Adjustable rate loans represented 80% of the managed consumer portfolio at
September 30, 2011, compared to 83% at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

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 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 decreased due to a liquidation sale. Secured mezzanine delinquencies decreased due to collection and restructuring efforts. Other commercial loan
delinquencies improved as a result of payments received. Medallion Bank experienced little change in consumer loans delinquencies although the overall declining trend reflects the effects of a slow improving economy. We are actively working with
each delinquent borrower to bring them current, and believe that any potential loss exposure is reflected in our mark-to-market estimates on each loan. Although there can be no assurances as to changes in the trend rate and further negative changes
in the economy, management believes that any loss exposures are properly reflected in reported asset values.

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

In determining the value of our portfolio, management and the Board of Directors may take into consideration various factors such as the financial condition of the borrower and the adequacy of the
collateral. For example, in a period of sustained increases in

market interest rates, management and the Board of Directors could decrease its valuation of the portfolio if the portfolio consists primarily of long-term, fixed-rate loans. Our valuation
procedures are designed to generate values that approximate that which would have been established by market forces, and are therefore subject to uncertainties and variations from reported results. Based upon these factors, net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investments is determined, or the amount by which our estimate of the current realizable value of our portfolio is above or below our cost basis.

The following tables set forth the changes in our unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, other than investments in
controlled subsidiaries, for the 2011 and 2010 quarters shown below.

Investment in Medallion Bank and Other Controlled Subsidiaries

Investment in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were 19%, 16%, and 16% of our total portfolio at September 30,
2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. 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 have held discussions with the IRS to obtain LLC tax treatment for Medallion Bank, which would provide pass-through taxation for our shareholders, and which has already been agreed to by the
State of Utah. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts, but if we are successful, this treatment would reduce taxes and increase the reported net income of Medallion Bank. In addition, to facilitate maintenance of Medallion
Banks capital ratio requirement and to provide the necessary capital for continued growth, we periodically make capital contributions to Medallion Bank. Separately, Medallion Bank declared dividends to us of $1,000,000 in each of the 2011 and
2010 third quarters, and $3,000,000 in each of the 2011 and 2010 nine months. 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 September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. Equity investments were 1%, 1%, and less than 1% of our total
managed portfolio at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. Equity investments are comprised of common stock, partnership interests, and warrants.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were 0% of our total portfolio at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. Investment securities were 2% of our total managed portfolio at
September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. The investment securities are primarily adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities purchased by Medallion Bank to better utilize required cash liquidity.

Trend in Interest Expense

Our interest expense is driven by the interest rates payable on our short-term credit facilities with banks, bank certificates of deposit, fixed-rate, long-term debentures issued to the SBA, and other
short-term notes payable. We established a medallion lending relationship with DZ Bank in December 2008, that provides for growth in the portfolio at generally lower rates than under prior facilities, all of which have been fully paid off. 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 deposit 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.

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, 2011 and 2010. Our average balances decreased and Medallion Banks average balances increased, reflecting the sourcing of more
business to Medallion Bank, and an increase in loan participations sold. The decrease in borrowing costs reflected the trend of decreasing interest rates in the economy, and the repricing of term borrowings.

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, 2011 and 2010, short-term adjustable rate debt constituted 68% and 69% of total debt, and was 29% and 31% on a fully managed basis including the borrowings of Medallion Bank, reflecting the payoff of the floating rate Citi
borrowings and its partial replacement with fixed rate debt.

Factors Affecting Net Assets

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

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

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

Consolidated Results of Operations

2011 Third Quarter and Nine Months Compared to the 2010 Periods

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $4,835,000 or $0.27 per diluted common share and $13,531,000 or $0.77 in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, up $1,367,000 or 39% and
$6,920,000 from $3,468,000 or $0.20 per share and $6,611,000 or $0.37 in the 2010 third quarter and nine months, primarily reflecting higher net realized/unrealized gains and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower noninterest and net
interest income. Net investment income after income taxes was $1,376,000 or $0.08 per share and $5,697,000 or $0.32 in the 2011 quarter and nine months, down $992,000 or 42%, and $1,841,000 or 24% from $2,368,000 or $0.13 per share and $7,538,000 or
$0.43 in the 2010 quarter and nine months.

Investment income was $8,029,000 and $26,040,000 in the 2011 third quarter and
nine months, down $1,524,000 or 16% and $2,103,000 or 7% from $9,553,000 and $28,143,000 in the year ago periods, and included $387,000 and $1,514,000 from interest recoveries and bonuses on certain investments in the 2011 quarter and nine months,
compared to $977,000 and $1,847,000 in the 2010 periods. Also included in the 2011 and 2010 quarters and nine months was $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 in dividends from Medallion Bank. Excluding those items, investment income decreased $934,000 or 12%
in the quarter and $1,770,000 or 7% in the nine months, primarily reflecting changes in the yields earned and the sourcing of a greater proportion of the Companys business to Medallion Bank. The yield

on the investment portfolio was 6.93% in the 2011 quarter, down 13% from 7.97% in 2010, and was 7.42% in the 2011 nine months, down 7% from 7.99% in the 2010 nine months. Excluding the extra
interest and dividends, the 2011 third quarter and nine month yields were down 9% and 7% to 5.73% and 6.13%, from 6.32% and 6.61% in the 2010 quarter and nine months, reflecting the general decrease in market interest rates and changes in the
portfolio mix. Average investments outstanding were $460,083,000 and $469,396,000 in the 2011 quarter and nine months, down 3% and less than 1% from $475,566,000 and $470,854,000 in the year ago periods, primarily reflecting portfolio growth,
partially offset by loan participations sold and loan payments received.

Medallion loans were $303,943,000 at quarter end,
down $23,482,000 or 7% from $327,425,000 a year ago, representing 67% of the investment portfolio compared to 69% a year ago, and were yielding 5.59% compared to 5.98% a year ago, a decrease of 7%, reflecting the repricing of the portfolio to lower
current market interest rates. The decrease in outstandings primarily reflected sold participations and repayments, primarily in the New York market, partially offset by portfolio growth. The managed medallion portfolio, which includes loans at
Medallion Bank and those serviced for third parties, was $665,460,000 at quarter end, up $36,956,000 or 6% from $628,504,000 a year ago, reflecting the above and the strong overall portfolio growth at Medallion Bank, particularly in the New York
market. The commercial loan portfolio was $59,020,000 at quarter end, compared to $65,158,000 a year ago, a decrease of $6,138,000 or 9%, and represented 13% of the investment portfolio compared to 14% a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected
reserve increases in the high-yield mezzanine loan portfolio. Commercial loans yielded 12.34% at quarter end, up 1% from 12.21% a year ago, reflecting the portfolio mix. The net managed commercial loan portfolio, which includes loans at Medallion
Bank and those serviced for or by third parties, was $119,310,000 at quarter end, essentially unchanged from $119,266,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting the changes described above, and increases in Medallion Banks asset-based portfolio.
Investments in Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries were $85,264,000 at quarter end, up $9,505,000 or 13% from $75,759,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting our equity in the earnings of Medallion Bank, and which represented 19% of the
investment portfolio, compared to 16% a year ago, and which yielded 4.69% at quarter end, compared to 5.28% a year ago, reflecting the flat dividend from the Bank on a growing investment balance. See Notes 3 and 10 of the consolidated financial
statements for additional information about Medallion Bank and the other controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments were $4,755,000 at quarter end, up $1,167,000 or 33% from $3,588,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting increased equity purchases and
portfolio appreciation, and represented 1% of the investment portfolio at both quarter ends, and had a dividend yield of 2.13%, compared to 1.96% a year ago. Investment securities were zero at both quarter ends. See page 27 for a table that shows
balances and yields by type of investment.

Interest expense was $3,431,000 and $10,276,000 in the 2011 quarter and nine
months, down $407,000 or 11% and $817,000 or 7% from $3,838,000 and $11,093,000 in the 2010 periods. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decreased cost of borrowed funds, and in the quarter was also due to decreased levels of
borrowing. The cost of borrowed funds was 3.84% and 3.79% in the 2011 quarter and nine months, compared to 4.10% and 4.05% in the year ago periods, both decreases of 6%, reflecting the adjustable rate nature of much of our borrowings, and changes in
our funding mix. Average debt outstanding was $354,137,000 and $362,728,000 for the 2011 quarter and nine months, compared to $371,412,000 and $366,346,000 in the year ago periods, decreases of 5% and 1%, primarily reflecting the stabilization of
our borrowing needs as much of our portfolio growth was in Medallion Bank. See page 33 for a table which shows average balances and cost of funds for our funding sources.

Net interest income was $4,598,000 and $15,764,000 and the net interest margin was 3.97% and 4.49% for the 2011 third quarter and nine months, down $1,117,000 or 20% and $1,286,000 or 8% from $5,715,000
and $17,050,000 a year ago, which represented net interest margins of 4.77% and 4.84%, all reflecting the items discussed above.

Noninterest income, which is comprised of prepayment fees, servicing fee income, late charges, and other miscellaneous income was $218,000 and $953,000 in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, down
$1,122,000 or 84% and $2,334,000 or 71% from $1,340,000 and $3,287,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting lower servicing and other fees generated from the portfolio base at Medallion Bank and lower prepayment fees. Excluded from noninterest income in
the 2011 third quarter and nine months was $1,389,000 and $4,145,000 of servicing fee income, which beginning in the 2010 fourth quarter was assigned to Medallion Servicing Corp. (MSC), a wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio company, established
for the purpose of conducting most of the servicing activities for Medallion Bank.

Operating expenses were $3,440,000 and
$11,020,000 in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, down $1,247,000 or 27% and down $1,779,000 or 14% from $4,687,000 and $12,799,000 in the 2010 periods, which included $1,622,000 of expense reversals in the 2010 nine months associated with
potential liabilities of the SPACs. Also, excluded from operating expenses in the 2011 quarter and nine months was $1,369,000 and $4,127,000 of servicing-related expenses, which beginning in the 2010 fourth quarter were charged to MSC.
Excluding the SPAC and MSC amounts, operating expenses increased $122,000 or 3% and $726,000 or 5% in the quarter and nine months. Salaries and benefits expense was $2,101,000 and $6,060,000 in the third quarter and nine months, down $621,000 or 23%
and $2,469,000 or 29% from $2,722,000 and $8,529,000 in 2010, primarily reflecting $937,000 and $2,810,000 of MSC allocations in the 2011 quarter and nine months, and otherwise reflecting higher salary levels and lower salary deferrals related to
loan originations, and in the nine months, also by lower bonus accruals and higher salary deferrals related to loan originations. Professional fees were $220,000 and $743,000 in the quarter and nine months, down $231,000 or 51% and $986,000 or 57%
from $451,000 and $1,729,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting higher 2010 legal and other professional expenses related to various investment opportunities and the MFC reorganization, lower accounting costs in 2011, and also reflected $56,000 and
$178,000 of MSC allocations in the quarter and nine months. Occupancy expense was $235,000 and $687,000 in the quarter and nine months, down $117,000 or 33% and $345,000 or 33% from $352,000 and $1,032,000 in the 2010 periods, primarily reflecting
$162,000 and $408,000 of MSC allocations and scheduled rent increases. Other operating expenses of $884,000 and $3,529,000 in 2011 were down $278,000 or 24% and were up $2,020,000 from

$1,162,000 and $1,509,000 a year ago, primarily reflecting $1,622,000 of 2010 expense reversals in the nine months associated with potential liabilities of the SPACs, and also in 2011
reflected $214,000 and $731,000 of MSC allocations. Excluding the SPAC and MSC amounts, other operating expenses decreased $64,000 or 6% in the quarter, and increased $1,129,000 or 36% in the nine months, primarily reflecting $942,000 of costs
accrued related to a proposed investment opportunity that may be recoverable in the future, higher travel and entertainment expenses, and lower franchise tax accruals.

Income tax expense was $0 in the 2011 and 2010 third quarters and nine months.

Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments was $2,773,000 and $6,564,000 in the 2011 third quarter and nine months, compared to
$1,286,000 and $8,149,000 in the 2010 third quarter and nine months, an increase in appreciation of $1,487,000 in the quarter, and a decrease in appreciation of $1,585,000 or 19% in the nine months. Net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation), net of the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on Medallion Bank and the other controlled subsidiaries, was depreciation of $74,000 and appreciation of $20,000 in the 2011 quarter and nine months, compared to
depreciation of $689,000 and $2,877,000 in the 2010 periods, resulting in increased appreciation of $615,000 and $2,897,000 in the 2011 quarter and 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 2011 activity
resulted from net appreciation on Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $2,847,000 ($6,544,000 in the nine months) and net appreciation on foreclosed property of $2,378,000 ($3,487,000 in the nine months), partially offset by net
unrealized depreciation on loans of $2,450,000 ($4,550,000 in the nine months) and net unrealized depreciation on equity investments of $2,000 ($1,083,000 of appreciation in the nine months). The 2010 activity resulted from net appreciation on
Medallion Bank and other controlled subsidiaries of $1,975,000 ($11,026,000 in the nine months), net unrealized appreciation on equity investments of $229,000 ($550,000 in the nine months), reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with fully
depreciated loans which were charged off of $191,000 ($191,000 in the nine months), and reversals of unrealized depreciation associated with equity investments (SPAC 2) which were charged off of $0 ($759,000 in the nine months), partially offset by
net unrealized depreciation on loans of $1,069,000 ($5,579,000 in the nine months) and depreciation on foreclosed property of $40,000 (appreciation of $1,202,000 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 in each of the 2011 and 2010 third quarters, and $3,000,000 in the 2011 and 2010 nine months, and also in 2010 includes the reversal of unrealized
depreciation of $7,473,000 related to the writeoffs of the SPAC investments realized in the 2010 first quarter.

Our net
realized gains on investments were $686,000 and $1,270,000 in the 2011 quarter and nine months, compared to losses of $186,000 and $9,076,000 in the 2010 quarter and nine months, an increase in realized gains of $872,000 in the quarter and
$10,346,000 in the nine months. The 2011 activity reflected gains on the sale of equity investments of $796,000 ($1,358,000 in the nine months) and net direct chargeoffs of $110,000 ($88,000 in the nine months). The 2010 activity reflected the
reversals described in the unrealized paragraph above, partially offset by net direct recoveries of $5,000 ($794,000 of net direct chargeoffs in the nine months) and net direct gains on the sale of investments of $0 ($141,000 in the nine months).

Our net realized/unrealized gains on investments were $3,459,000 and $7,834,000 in the 2011 quarter and nine months, compared
to a gain of $1,100,000 and a loss of $927,000 in the 2010 periods, an increase of $2,359,000 and $8,761,000 in net gains in the 2011 periods, 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



Page 38 of 54

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
$69,685,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 5.44%, constituting 20% of our total indebtedness as of September 30, 2011. Also, as of September 30, 2011, portions of the adjustable rate debt with banks repriced at intervals of as
long as 12 months, and certain of the certificates of deposit were for terms of up to 34 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, 2011, compared to the respective positions at the
end of 2010 and 2009. 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 $397,294,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities were
$349,887,000 at September 30, 2011. The one-year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $152,900,000 or 38% of interest rate sensitive assets, compared to a negative $121,343,000 or 28% at December 31, 2010 and $129,336,000 or 30% at
December 31, 2009. However, using our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate gap resulted in a negative gap of $55,072,000 or 14% at September 30, 2011. 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 $995,533,000 and interest rate sensitive liabilities
were $838,193,000 at September 30, 2011. The one year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $309,677,000 or 31% of interest rate sensitive assets, compared to a negative $289,178,000 or 29% and $225,251,000 or 25% at December 31,
2010 and 2009. Using our estimated 40% prepayment/refinancing rate for medallion loans to adjust the interest rate gap resulted in a negative gap of $116,334,000 or 12% at September 30, 2011.

Interest Rate Cap Agreements

The Company manages its exposure to increases in market rates of interest by periodically purchasing interest rate caps to lock in the cost of funds of its variable-rate debt in the event of a rapid run
up in interest rates. Beginning in 2009, the Company entered into

contracts to purchase interest rate caps on $512,000,000 of notional value of principal from various multinational banks, of which $175,000,000 are active with termination dates ranging to March
2013. The caps provide for payments to the Company if various LIBOR thresholds are exceeded during the cap terms. Total cap purchases of $407,000 were generally fully expensed when paid, including $5,000 and $93,000 for three and nine months ended
September 30, 2011 and $142,000 for both comparable 2010 periods, and all are carried at $0 on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity are the revolving
lines of credit with DZ Bank and with a variety of local and regional banking institutions, unfunded commitments to purchase debentures from 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 IIIs $200,000,000
revolving line of credit with DZ Bank had $30,367,000 of availability. Lastly, $75,327,000 was available under revolving credit agreements with commercial banks, and unfunded commitments from the SBA were $5,000,000.

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 $106,000,000 could be raised by Medallion Bank
to fund future loan origination activities, and Medallion Bank also has $26,000,000 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, 2011. See Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements on page 16 for details of the contractual terms of our borrowings.

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

different than recorded book value. As a result of this valuation process, we used Medallion Banks actual results of operations as the best estimate of changes in fair value, and recorded
the result as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, although changes in these restrictions and other applicable factors could change these conclusions in the future.

In addition, the illiquidity of our loan portfolio and investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of loans at times when it
may be advantageous for us to liquidate such portfolio or investments. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value
of such investments. Because we borrow money to make loans and investments, our net operating income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be no
assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our interest income. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which would reduce our net operating income
before net realized and unrealized gains. We use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our investing activities. Our long-term fixed-rate investments are financed primarily with short-term floating-rate
debt, and to a lesser extent by term fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act. We have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Assuming that the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate
sensitivity, and including the impact on Medallion Bank, a hypothetical immediate 1% increase in interest rates would have positively impacted net increase in net assets resulting from operations as of September 30, 2011 by approximately
$1,253,000 on an annualized basis, compared to a positive impact of $1,291,000 at December 31, 2010, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been ($2,000,000) at September 30, 2011, compared to
($2,026,000) for December 31, 2010. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size, and composition of the assets on the
balance sheet, and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations in a particular quarter or for the year taken as a whole. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not
differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

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

The following table illustrates sources of available funds for us and each of our subsidiaries, and amounts outstanding under credit
facilities and their respective end of period weighted average interest rates at September 30, 2011. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about each credit facility.

##### Table of Contents

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

We have available liquidity of $30,367,000 under our revolving credit agreement with DZ Bank as of September 30, 2011. 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, 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 2011, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 amends Topic 350 (Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it
is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. ASU 2011-08
is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe adoption will have an impact on its financial condition
or results of operation.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to
Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement) by providing a consistent definition of fair
value, ensuring that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the
disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is
evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have on its disclosures, and does not believe adoption will have an impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information
for Business Combinations, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, the objective of which was to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business
combinations. The update specifies that a public entity which presents comparative financial statements should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had
occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual period only. The amendments in this update are applicable to any public entity which enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis and is
effective for 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, 2010 with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU 2010-29 has
not had an impact on the financial condition of the Company as it only amends future pro forma disclosures of material business combinations.

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

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

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 2011, we extended the
terms of the Stock Repurchase Program. Purchases were to commence no earlier than November 2011 and are to conclude 180 days after the commencement of the purchases.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in disclosure regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk since the Company
filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d  15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and have concluded that they are effective as of
September 30, 2011. In addition, based on our evaluation as of September 30, 2011, there have been no changes that occurred during the 2011 nine months that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure

We have recently experienced a period of capital markets disruption and severe recession and we expect these conditions to improve very
slowly over the next 18 months.

The recent market conditions have materially and adversely affected the debt and equity
capital markets in the US, which could have a negative impact on our business and operations. The US capital markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption for more than 3 years 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 materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of credit and equity capital for the markets as a whole, and financial services firms in particular. We believe that the US
economy is emerging from a prolonged recession, and forecasts for 2011 and 2012 generally call for a very slow recovery from the economic recession. As a result, we believe these conditions may continue for a prolonged period of time and possibly
worsen in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity would continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our
access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. Equity capital may be difficult to raise because, subject to some limited exceptions, we generally are not able to issue and sell our common stock at a
price below net asset value per share. In addition, the debt capital that will be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions.

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

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

As of September 30, 2011, we had $349,887,000 of outstanding indebtedness, which had a weighted average
borrowing cost of 3.40% at September 30, 2011, and our wholly-owned unconsolidated portfolio companies, primarily Medallion Bank, had $488,306,000 of outstanding indebtedness at a weighted average borrowing cost of 0.80%.

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

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.

##### Table of Contents

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.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changes federal financial services regulation and affects, among other things, the lending, deposit, investment, trading, and
operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations. The federal agencies have significant discretion in
issuing these rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the effect of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years. As such, we cannot predict and may not be able to anticipate all the effects of the
Dodd-Frank Act on our financial condition or operations.

Federal and state law may discourage certain acquisitions of our
common stock which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders.

Because we are an insured depository
institution within the meaning of the Change in Bank Control Act and a financial institution holding company within the meaning of the Utah Financial Institutions Act, federal and Utah law and regulations prohibit any person or
company from acquiring control of us without, in most cases, prior written approval of the FDIC or the Commissioner of Financial Institutions, as applicable. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, control is conclusively presumed if, among other
things, a person or company acquires more than 25% of any class of our voting stock. A rebuttable presumption of control arises if a person or company acquires more than 10% of any class of voting stock and is subject to a number of specified
control factors as set forth in the applicable regulations. Under the Utah Financial Institutions Act, control is defined as the power to vote 20% or more of any class of our voting securities by an individual or to vote more than 10% of
any class of our voting securities by a person other than an individual. Investors are responsible for ensuring that they do not, directly or indirectly, acquire shares of our common stock in excess of the amount which can be acquired without
regulatory approval. These provisions could delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, despite the possible benefit to our shareholders, or otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

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

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

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



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



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

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

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



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

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

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

As a business development company, we are not permitted to acquire any assets other than qualifying assets unless, at the time of such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are
qualifying assets. Our investment in Medallion Bank may constitute an ineligible investment. As of September 30, 2011, up to 27% 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, and at least 90% of our net tax exempt income. 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.

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.

A change in our treatment of losses recognized on worthless loans could result in a decrease in taxable income.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, based on developments under the Code and after discussions with external advisers, our Board of Directors
determined that the loans received in connection with our lending activities were accounts or notes receivables acquired in the ordinary course of a trade or business for services for purposes of Section 1221(a)(4) of the Code. As a
result, commencing with the tax



Page 46 of 54

##### Table of Contents

year beginning January 1, 2010, we intend to treat losses recognized on worthless loans as ordinary losses rather than as capital losses. Our Board of Directors further determined that we
may take such position in tax returns subsequently filed without obtaining prior IRS approval.

The change in the
characterization of a loss resulting from a worthless loan from a capital loss to an ordinary loss could materially impact the amount or character of the dividends received by our shareholders. We are required to distribute 90% of our taxable income
in order to maintain our RIC status. In the event losses from worthless loans are treated as ordinary losses, those losses will offset taxable income in the taxable year in which such losses are recognized. This could result in a decrease in our
taxable income which could result in a decrease in our dividend. Alternatively, if we choose to maintain our current level of dividend, an increased portion of the dividend could be deemed to be a return of capital to the shareholder.

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

RIC qualification rules require that at the end of each quarter of our taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of our
assets must be represented by cash, securities of other RICs, US government securities, and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of our assets and not greater than 10%
of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of our assets may be invested in the securities (other than US government securities or securities of other RICs) of any one issuer, any two or more
issuers of which 20% or more of the voting stock is held by us and that are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses or in the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded
partnerships.

As of September 30, 2011, our largest investment subject to this test was our investment in Medallion
Bank, representing 18% 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 US 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 may be 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.

##### Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

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



Page 48 of 54



---

##### Table of Contents

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,
2011, our net unrealized depreciation on investments other than in controlled subsidiaries, foreclosed properties, and other assets was $14,483,000 or 3.10% of our investment portfolio.

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

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

In addition, the illiquidity of our loan portfolio and
investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of loans at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate such portfolio or investments. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio,
the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value of such investments. Because we borrow money to make loans and investments, our net operating income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we
borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our interest income. In periods of sharply rising interest
rates, our cost of funds would increase, which would reduce our net operating income before net realized and unrealized gains. We use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our investing activities. Our
long-term fixed-rate investments are financed primarily with short-term floating-rate debt, and to a lesser extent by term fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate
fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. We have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Assuming that the balance sheet
were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, and including the impact on Medallion Bank, a hypothetical immediate 1% increase in interest rates would have positively impacted net increase in net
assets resulting from operations as of September 30, 2011 by approximately $1,253,000 on an annualized basis, compared to a positive impact of $1,291,000 at December 31, 2010, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one
year period would have been ($2,000,000) at September 30, 2011, compared to ($2,026,000) for December 31, 2010. 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.



Page 49 of 54

##### Table of Contents

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.

The SBA restricts the ability of SBICs to lend money to their officers,
directors, and employees, or invest in affiliates thereof.

Medallion Bank is subject to certain federal laws that restrict
and control its ability to provide or receive services between affiliates. Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and applicable regulations also impose restrictions on Medallion Bank. These restrictions limit the transfer of funds by a
depository institution to certain of its affiliates, including us, in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments, or purchases of assets. Sections 23A and 23B also require generally that the depository institutions transactions with
its affiliates be on terms no less favorable to Medallion Bank than comparable transactions with unrelated third parties.

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

Changes in taxicab industry regulations that result in the issuance of additional medallions or increases in 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. For example, the New York State legislature has enacted legislation to
permit cars for hire to pickup street hails in boroughs outside of Manhattan. If this legislation is signed into law, income from operating medallions and the value of medallions serving as collateral for our loans could decrease in a material
amount. This could increase our loan to value ratios, loan delinquencies or loan defaults. 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, such as rising gas prices, 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 $975,000 for corporate medallions and $687,000 for individual medallions. However, for sustained periods during that time, taxicab medallions have declined in value. Since December 31,
2009, the value of New York City taxicab medallions increased by approximately 18% for individual medallions and 26% for corporate medallions.

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,
2011, investments in New York City taxi medallion loans represented approximately 78% of our managed taxi medallion loans. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC, we do not have fixed guidelines for
diversification, and while we are not targeting any specific industries, our investments are, and could continue to be, concentrated in relatively few industries. As a result, the aggregate returns we realize may be adversely affected if a small
number of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Additionally, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could also negatively impact the aggregate returns we realize.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even though we may have structured most of our investments as senior loans, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt,
depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim
to that of other creditors. We may also be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by us with respect to a borrowers business or instances where we exercise control over the borrower. It is possible that we could become subject to
a lenders liability claim, including as a result of actions taken in rendering significant managerial assistance.

We
may not control many of our portfolio companies.

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

We may not realize gains from our equity investments.

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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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