Note 1. Organization

Apollo Investment Corporation (Apollo Investment, the Company, AIC, we, us, or
our), a Maryland corporation organized on February 2, 2004, is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). In addition, for tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. We invest in various forms of debt investments including senior secured loans, subordinated and mezzanine investments and/or equity in private
middle-market companies. From time to time, we may also invest in the securities of public companies. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in subordinated debt, sometimes referred to as mezzanine debt, and senior secured loans of
private-middle market companies that, in the case of senior secured loans, generally are not broadly syndicated and whose aggregate tranche size is typically less than $300 million. From time to time, our portfolio also includes equity interests
such as common stock, preferred stock, warrants or options.

Apollo Investment commenced operations on April 8, 2004 receiving net
proceeds of $870,000 from its initial public offering selling 62 million shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share.

Note
2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income
and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on
Form 10-Q and Article 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period, have
been included.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by Apollo Investment are:

(a) Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date;

(b) Under procedures established by our board of directors, we value investments, including certain senior secured debt,
subordinated debt and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market
quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a
different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such
investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations
for such Level 3 categorized assets. Debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less shall each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount amortized to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of our
investment adviser, does not represent fair value, in which case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. Such determination of fair values may involve
subjective judgments and estimates.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when
such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our board of directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1) our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the
investment professionals of our investment adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;

(2) preliminary
valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our investment adviser;

(3)
independent valuation firms are engaged by our board of directors to conduct independent appraisals by reviewing our investment advisers preliminary valuations and then making their own independent assessment;

(4) the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of our investment adviser and the
valuation prepared by the independent valuation firm and responds to the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and

(5) the board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of our investment adviser, the respective independent
valuation firm and the audit committee.

Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income
approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses
valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following
these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable
market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the
markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily
available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there has been no change to the Companys valuation techniques and
related inputs considered in the valuation process.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 classifies the
inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each
investment.

(c) Gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.

(d) The Company records interest and dividend income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount, on an accrual basis. Some of our loans and other investments, including certain preferred equity investments, may have contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) interest or dividends. PIK interest and dividends computed at the
contractual rate are accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are
received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the
basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be
placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not
reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company
again believes that PIK is expected to be realized. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, accrued PIK totaled $8,788, on total investment income of $164,164. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are
capitalized and amortized into income using the interest method or straight-line, as applicable. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other
investments as interest income when we receive such amounts. Structuring fees are recorded as other income when earned. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual
status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual
status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in managements judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on
non-accrual designated investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment.

(e) The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to regulated investment companies to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially
all Federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if
any, as required.

(f) Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and
other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Companys capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(g) Dividends and distributions to
common stockholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least
annually.

(h) In accordance with Regulation S-X, the Company generally will not consolidate its interest in any company other
than in investment company subsidiaries and controlled operating companies substantially all of whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Consequently, the Company has not consolidated special purpose entities through which the
special purpose entity acquired and holds investments subject to financing with third parties. At September 30, 2012, the Company did not have any subsidiaries or controlled operating companies that were consolidated. See additional information
within note 6.

(i) The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized gains or losses and unrealized depreciation or
appreciation from investments. The Companys investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of
which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.

(j) The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency risk.
These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled.

(k) The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as prepaid assets.
These expenses are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation which closely approximates the effective yield method.

(l) The Company records expenses related to shelf filings and applicable offering costs as prepaid assets. These expenses
are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with the ASC 946-20-25.

(m) The Company
defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with
a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash
equivalents.

Note 3. Agreements

The Company has an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the Investment Advisory Agreement) with Apollo Investment Management, L.P. (the Investment Adviser or
AIM), under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, will manage the day-to-day operations of, and provide investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the
Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two componentsa base management fee and a performance-based incentive fee. The base management fee is determined by taking the average value of our gross assets, net of payable
for cash equivalents purchased at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters calculated at an annual rate of 2.00%. The incentive fee has two parts, as follows: one part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our
pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income including any other fees (other than fees
for providing managerial assistance), such

as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for
the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) between the Company and Apollo Investment Administration, LLC (the Administrator), and any
interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and
unrealized capital depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the rate of 1.75% per quarter (7%
annualized). Our net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our gross assets used to calculate the 2% base management fee. For a one year period commencing April 2, 2012, AIM has
agreed to voluntarily waive the management fee on the proceeds of the April 2, 2012 common equity issuance. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, total management fees waived were $400 and $794 respectively. For the three
and six months ended September 30, 2012, total incentive fees waived were $315 and $587, respectively.

Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed 1.75%,
which we commonly refer to as the performance threshold; (2) 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.75% but does not exceed
2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three
months. The effect of the fee calculation described above is that if pre-incentive fee net investment income is equal to or exceeds 2.1875%, the Investment Adviser will receive a fee of 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the
quarter. The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and will equal 20% of our cumulative
realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized depreciation on a gross investment-by-investment basis at the end of each calendar year) and all capital gains upon which prior
performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the Investment Adviser. For accounting purposes only, we are required under GAAP to accrue a theoretical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized capital gains
and unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period.

The accrual of this theoretical capital
gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized in order to reflect a theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Investment Adviser at each measurement date. There was no such
fee for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) or
Investment Advisory Agreement, and would not be paid based upon such computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts actually paid to the Investment Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in
the Investment Advisory Agreement which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital appreciation.

AIM is not paid the portion
of the incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest, such as PIK, until the Company receives such interest in cash. The accrual of incentive fees shall be reversed if such interest is reversed in connection with any write off or similar
treatment of the investment. Upon payment of the deferred incentive fee, AIM will also receive interest on the deferred interest for the period between the date in which the incentive fee is earned and the date of payment.

Note 6. Investments

AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLCWe own all of the common member interests in AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (AIC Holdco). AIC Holdco was formed for the purpose of holding
various financed investments. AIC Holdco wholly owns three special purpose entities, each of which in 2008 acquired directly or indirectly an investment in a particular security from an unaffiliated entity that provided leverage for the investment
as part of the sale. Each of these transactions is described in more detail below together with summary financial information.

In the first
of these investments, in June 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $39,500 in AIC (FDC) Holdings LLC (Apollo FDC). Apollo FDC used the proceeds to purchase a Junior Profit-Participating Note due 2013 in principal amount of $39,500 (the
Junior Note) issued by Apollo I Trust (the Trust). The Trust also issued a Senior Floating Rate Note due 2013 (the Senior Note) to an unaffiliated third party (FDC Counterparty) in principal amount of
$39,500 paying interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.50%, increasing over time to LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Trust used the aggregate $79,000 proceeds to acquire $100,000 face value of a senior subordinated loan of First
Data Corporation (the FDC Loan) due 2016. The FDC Loan pays interest at 11.25% per year. The Junior Note of the Trust owned by Apollo FDC pays to Apollo FDC all of the interest and other proceeds received by the Trust on the FDC
Loan after satisfying the Trusts obligations on the Senior Note. The holder of the Senior Note has no recourse to Apollo FDC, AIC Holdco or us with respect to any interest on, or principal of, the Senior Note. However, if the value of the FDC
Loan held by the Trust declines sufficiently, the investment would be unwound unless Apollo FDC posts additional collateral for the benefit of the Senior Note. Consequently, the maximum exposure on this investment is the amount of our investment in
the Junior Note and any additional collateral we determine to post. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we sold $47,145 face value of the FDC Loan. As a result of this transaction, as of September 30, 2012, the FDC Loan par
balance outstanding is $52,855, the Junior Note balance is $21,472 and the Senior Note balance is $20,283.

In the second of these
investments, in June 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $11,375 in AIC (TXU) Holdings LLC (Apollo TXU). Apollo TXU acquired exposure to $50,000 notional amount of a LIBOR plus 3.5% senior secured delayed draw term loan of Texas
Competitive Electric Holdings (TXU) due 2014 through a non-recourse total return swap (the TRS) with an unaffiliated third party expiring on October 10, 2013. Pursuant to such delayed draw term loan, Apollo TXU pays an
unaffiliated third-party interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% and generally receives all proceeds due under the delayed draw term loan of TXU (the TXU Term Loan). Like Apollo FDC, Apollo TXU is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the
TXU Term Loan and, since the TRS is a non-recourse arrangement, Apollo TXU is exposed only up to the amount of its investment in the TRS, plus any additional margin we decide to post, if any, during the term of the financing. The TRS does not
constitute a senior security or a borrowing of Apollo TXU. In connection with the amendment and extension of the TXU Term Loan in April 2011, for which Apollo TXU received a consent fee along with an increase in the rate of the TXU Term Loan to
LIBOR plus 4.5%, Apollo TXU extended its TRS to 2016 at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of September 30, 2012, Apollo TXUs notional exposure to the TXU term loan is $47,471.

In the third of these investments, in September 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $10,022 in AIC (Boots) Holdings, LLC (Apollo Boots). Apollo Boots acquired 23,383 and £12,465
principal amount of senior term loans of AB Acquisitions Topco 2 Limited, a holding company for the Alliance Boots group of companies (the

Boots Term Loans), out of the proceeds of our investment and a multicurrency $40,876 equivalent non-recourse loan to Apollo Boots (the Acquisition Loan) by an unaffiliated
third party that matures in September 2013 and pays interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or, in certain cases, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the lenders prime-rate. The Boots Term Loans pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus
3% per year and mature in June 2015. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 13,275 and £11,561 and 23,383 and £12,465 principal amount of the Boots Term Loans, respectively. At
September 30, 2012, there was no outstanding principal balance of the Boots Term Loans with the assets representing the receivable due on the sale of the Boots Term Loans.

We do not consolidate AIC Holdco or its wholly owned subsidiaries and accordingly only the value of our investment in AIC Holdco is included on our statement of assets and liabilities. Our investment in
AIC Holdco is valued in accordance with our normal valuation procedures and is based on the values of the underlying assets held by each of Apollo FDC, Apollo TXU and Apollo Boots net of associated liabilities.

The Senior Note, TRS and Acquisition Loan are non-recourse to AIC Holdco, its subsidiaries and us and have standard events of default including failure
to pay contractual amounts when due and failure by each of the underlying Apollo special purpose entities to provide additional credit support, sell assets or prepay a portion of its obligations if the value of the FDC Term Loan, the TXU Term Loan
or the Boots Term Loans, as applicable, declines below specified levels. We may unwind any of these transactions at any time without penalty. From time to time we may provide additional capital to AIC Holdco for purposes of reserving for or funding
margin calls under one or more of the transactions described above among other reasons. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we provided $18,480 in additional net capital to AIC Holdco. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010,
$9,336 of net capital was returned to us from AIC Holdco. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, $1,700 of net capital was provided to AIC Holdco. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, $8,712 of net capital was returned to us
from AIC Holdco. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, $575 of net capital was provided to AIC Holdco. The Junior Note and TRS were performing assets as of the date of these financial statements.

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) multiples and market interest rates. The Company uses EBITDA multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would result
in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company uses market interest rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security. If a
debt securitys effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar debt security with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the debt security may be lower.

Note 7. Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding non-US borrowings on its Facility denominated in Euros and British Pounds. Unrealized appreciation on these outstanding borrowings is indicated in
the table below:

Note 10. Debt

Senior Secured Facility

On May 23, 2012, the Company amended and restated its senior secured, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (the Senior Secured
Facility). The Senior Secured Facility extends the lenders commitments totaling approximately $1.14 billion through May, 2015, and allows the Company to seek additional commitments from new and existing lenders in the future, up to an
aggregate facility size not to exceed $1.71 billion. The Senior Secured Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in Apollo Investments portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents. The final maturity date of the Senior Secured
Facility is May 23, 2016. Commencing June 23, 2015, the Company is required to repay, in twelve consecutive monthly installments of equal size, the outstanding amount under the Senior Secured Facility as of May 23, 2015. Pricing for
Alternate Base Rate (ABR) borrowings will be 125 basis points over the applicable Prime Rate and pricing for eurocurrency borrowings will be 225 basis points over the LIBOR Rate. Terms used in the foregoing sentence have the meanings set forth in
the Senior Secured Facility. The Senior Secured Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, including: (a) periodic financial reporting requirements, (b) maintaining minimum stockholders equity of the greater of
(i) 40% of the total assets of Apollo Investment and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the last day of any fiscal quarter and (ii) the sum of (A) $800,000 plus (B) 25% of the net proceeds from the sale of equity interests in
Apollo Investment after the closing date of the Facility, (c) maintaining a ratio of total assets, less total liabilities (other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness, in each case of Apollo Investment and its consolidated subsidiaries, of
not less than 2.0:1.0, (d) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, including a requirement to meet a certain minimum liquidity threshold before Apollo Investment can incur such additional debt, (e) limitations on liens,
(f) limitations on investments (other than in the ordinary course of Apollo Investments business), (g) limitations on mergers and disposition of assets (other than in the normal course of Apollo Investments business
activities), (h) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that permit liens on properties of Apollo Investments consolidated subsidiaries and (i) limitations on the repurchase or redemption of certain unsecured debt and
debt securities. In addition to the asset coverage ratio described in clause (c) of the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a
borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in Apollo Investments portfolio. The remaining capacity under the Senior Secured Facility was $675,280 at September 30, 2012.

Senior Secured Notes

On
September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors providing for a private placement issuance of $225,000 in aggregate principal amount of five-year, senior secured notes with
a fixed interest rate of 6.25% and a maturity date of October 4, 2015 (the Senior Secured Notes). On October 4, 2010, the Senior Secured Notes issued by Apollo Investment were sold to certain institutional accredited investors
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is due semi-annually on April 4 and October 4, commencing on April 4, 2011.

On September 29, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $45,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the Notes)
consisting of two series: (1) 5.875% Senior Secured Notes, Series A, of the Company due September 29, 2016 in the aggregate principal amount of $29,000; and (2) 6.250% Senior Secured Notes, Series B, of the Company due
September 29, 2018, in the aggregate principal amount of $16,000. The Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes

On January 25, 2011, the Company closed a private
offering of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes (the Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2011. The
Convertible Notes will mature on January 15, 2016, unless earlier converted or repurchased at the holders option. Prior to December 15, 2015, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon certain corporate reorganizations,
dilutive recapitalizations or dividends, or if, during specified periods our shares trade at more than 130% of the then applicable conversion price or the Convertible Notes trade at less than 97% of their conversion value and, thereafter,
at any time. The Convertible Notes will be convertible by the holders into shares of common stock, initially at a conversion rate of 72.7405 shares of the Companys common stock per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes (14,548,100
common shares) corresponding to an initial conversion price per share of approximately $13.75, which represents a premium of 17.5% to the $11.70 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on
January 19, 2011. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases in dividends in excess of $0.28 per share per quarter and certain changes in
control. Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion price floor of $11.70 per share. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of
payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior
in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future
indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities. As more fully reflected in Note 5, the issuance is to be considered as part of the if-converted method for calculation and statement
of diluted EPS.

The average outstanding debt balance was $971,864 and $1,213,943 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively. The weighted average annual interest cost for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.40%, exclusive of 1.37% for commitment fees and amortization of debt issuance costs. The weighted
average annual interest cost for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was 4.35%, exclusive of 0.97% for commitment fees and amortization of debt issuance costs. This weighted average annual interest cost reflects the average interest cost
for all debt. The maximum amount of debt outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $1,044,479 and $1,429,163, respectively, at value. As of September 30, 2012, the Company
is in compliance with all debt covenants.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2012, AIC had outstanding commitments with banks to purchase secured term loans and unsecured bridge loans in the aggregate
amount of $325,503. AICs commitments are subject to the consummation of the underlying corporate transactions and conditional upon receipt of all necessary shareholder, regulatory and other applicable approvals.

As of November 7, 2012 the outstanding commitments with banks to purchase secured term loans and unsecured bridge loans in the aggregate was
$106,000.

The Company also has unfunded commitments on senior loans as of September 30, 2012, of $85,514.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

On October 9, 2012, we issued $150,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2042 for net proceeds of $145,275 (the 2042 Notes). Interest on the 2042 Notes is paid quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, at a
rate of 6.625% per year, commencing on January 15, 2013. The 2042 Notes mature on October 15, 2042. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after October 15, 2017. The 2042
Notes will be our general, unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness. The proceeds from the sale of the 2042 Notes will be used to repay indebtedness owed under
the Senior Secured Facility.

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2013, payable on
January 4, 2013 to stockholders of record as of December 18, 2012.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Apollo Investment Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of Apollo Investment Corporation (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2012 and the related statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2012
and September 30, 2011, and the statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and the statement of changes in net assets for the six month period ended September 30, 2012.
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, as
of March 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated May 23, 2012, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet information and schedule of investments information, as of March 31, 2012 and is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the statements from which it has been derived.

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume
no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any
additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

OVERVIEW

Apollo Investment was
incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law in February 2004. We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest
at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets, including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or
less. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Pursuant to this election and assuming we qualify as a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income
taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders. Apollo Investment commenced operations on April 8, 2004 upon completion of its initial public offering that raised $870 million in net proceeds selling 62 million shares of its common
stock at a price of $15.00 per share. Since then, and through September 30, 2012, we have raised approximately $1.9 billion in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock.

Investments

Our
level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such
companies, the general economic environment and the competitive



43

##### Table of Contents

environment for the types of investments we make. As a business development company, we must not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at
the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

Revenue

We
generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and dividend income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of mezzanine
or senior secured loans, generally have a stated term of five to ten years and bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark: LIBOR, EURIBOR, GBP LIBOR, or the prime rate. Interest on debt securities
is generally payable quarterly or semiannually and while U.S. subordinated debt and corporate notes typically accrue interest at fixed rates, some of our investments may include zero coupon and/or step-up bonds that accrue income on a constant yield
to call or maturity basis. In addition, some of our investments provide for payments-in-kind (PIK) interest or dividends. Such amounts of accrued PIK interest or dividends are added to the cost of the investment on the respective
capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring fees, fees for providing managerial
assistance and, if applicable, consulting fees.

Expenses

All investment professionals of the investment adviser and their staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management
services to us, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of that personnel which is allocable to those services are provided and paid for by AIM. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those
relating to:



| |  |  | investment advisory and management fees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses incurred by AIM payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and
in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | calculation of our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | direct costs and expenses of administration, including independent registered public accounting and legal costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents with the SEC;

We expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase moderately in dollar terms. During periods of
asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings
of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we invested $395 million across 12 new and 11 existing portfolio companies, through a combination
of primary and secondary market purchases. This compares to investing $403 million in 6 new and 8 existing portfolio companies for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Investments sold or prepaid during the three months ended
September 30, 2012 totaled $343 million versus $387 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

At September 30,
2012, our portfolio consisted of 69 portfolio companies and was invested 37% in senior secured loans, 52% in subordinated debt, 1% in preferred equity and 10% in common equity and warrants measured at fair value versus 62 portfolio companies
invested 30% in senior secured loans, 60% in subordinated debt, 1% in preferred equity and 9% in common equity and warrants measured at fair value at March 31, 2012.

The weighted average yields on our senior secured loan portfolio, subordinated debt portfolio and total debt portfolio as of September 30, 2012 at our current cost basis were 11.2%, 12.4% and 11.9%,
respectively, exclusive of securities on non-accrual status. At September 30, 2011, the yields were 9.4%, 12.6% and 11.6%, respectively, exclusive of securities on non-accrual status.

Since the initial public offering of Apollo Investment in April 2004, and through September 30, 2012, invested capital totaled $9.4 billion in 188 portfolio companies. Over the same period, Apollo
Investment completed transactions with more than 100 different financial sponsors.

At September 30, 2012, 65% or $1.6 billion of our
income-bearing investment portfolio is fixed rate and 35% or $0.8 billion is floating rate, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 64% or $1.6 billion of our income-bearing investment portfolio is fixed rate and 36% or $0.9 billion is floating
rate. At March 31, 2012, 67% or $1.6 billion of our income-bearing investment portfolio was fixed rate and 33% or $0.8 billion was floating rate, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 65% or $1.7 billion of our income-bearing investment
portfolio was fixed rate and 35% or $0.9 billion was floating rate at March 31, 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In addition to the discussion below, our critical
accounting policies are further described in the notes to the financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Under procedures established by our board of directors, we value investments, including certain senior secured debt, subordinated debt, and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for
which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal
market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are
deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our
independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets. Debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less shall each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount amortized to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of our investment adviser, does not represent fair value, in which case such investments shall be valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the direction of our board of directors. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

With respect
to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our board of directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1) our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by
the investment professionals of our investment adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;

(2)
preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our investment adviser;

(3) independent valuation firms are engaged by our board of directors to conduct independent appraisals by reviewing our investment advisers preliminary valuations and then making their own
independent assessment;

(4) the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of
our investment adviser and the valuation prepared by the independent valuation firm and responds to the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and

(5) the board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good
faith based on the input of our investment adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the audit committee.

Investments in all
asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or
liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current
market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and
applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys
ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the
reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered in the valuation process of independent valuation firms. For the quarter ended
September 30, 2012, there was no change to the Companys valuation techniques considered in the valuation process.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement
in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment
and considers factors specific to each investment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records interest and dividend income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Some of our loans and other investments, including certain preferred
equity investments, may have contractual PIK interest or dividends. PIK interest and dividends computed at the contractual rate are accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the
option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these
payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being
called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or
dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates
associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company again believes that PIK is expected to be realized. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, accrued
PIK totaled $4.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, on total investment income of $83.8 million and $164.2 million, respectively. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income
using the interest method or straight-line, as applicable. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when we
receive such amounts. Structuring fees are recorded as other income when earned. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or
interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal
and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in managements judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on non-accrual designated
investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment.

Net Realized Gains or Losses
and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds
from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized
appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably
likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results comparisons are for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.

Investment Income

For the three and six
months ended September 30, 2012, gross investment income totaled $83.8 million and $164.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, gross investment income totaled $94.0 million and $188.6
million, respectively. The decrease in gross investment income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to a smaller portfolio base coupled
with a slight decline in the yields on the outstanding portfolio due to the repositioning of the portfolio up the capital structure of portfolio companies for both periods.

Expenses

Expenses totaled $39.3 million and $81.0 million, respectively, for the three and
six months ended September 30, 2012, of which $24.1 million and $46.8 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $12.5 million and $28.1 million, respectively, were interest and other debt
expenses. Administrative services and other general and administrative expenses totaled $2.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012. Expenses totaled $48.4 million and $95.4 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, of which $26.9 million and $51.2 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $17.3 million and $33.3 million, respectively, were
interest and other debt expenses. Administrative services and other general and administrative expenses totaled $4.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. Expenses consist of base
investment advisory and management fees, insurance expenses, administrative services fees, legal fees, directors fees, audit and tax services expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. The decline in expenses for the three and
six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 was due to multiple factors including a smaller portfolio base and the AIM fee waiver which resulted in lower base management fees.
Additionally, the average debt outstanding in the comparable periods was lower in 2012 which resulted in lower interest and debt costs in the comparable periods for 2012. Partially offsetting this decrease was $1.1 million in net non-recurring
expenses relating to the refinancing of our Senior Secured Facility in the June 2012 quarter. In the six month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $3.6 million in net non-recurring expenses, including legal and
other professional expenses of $4.3 million net of a non-recurring reduction of administrative expenses.

Net Investment Income

The Companys net investment income totaled $44.5 million and $83.2 million, or $0.22 and $0.41, on a per average share basis,
respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012. The Companys net investment income totaled $45.5 million and $93.2 million, or $0.23 and $0.47, on as per average share basis, respectively, for the three and six months
ended September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the $83.2 million was net of $1.1 million of net non-recurring expenses relating to the refinancing of our Senior Secured Facility.

Net Realized Losses

The Company had
investment sales, prepayments and refinancing totaling $342.7 million and $597.7 million respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012. The Company had investment sales, prepayments and refinancing totaling $387 million
and $1.1 billion, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. Net realized losses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 were

##### Table of Contents

$40.6 million and $59.4 million, respectively. Net realized losses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 were $20.2 million and $66.1 million, respectively. Net realized
losses for the three and six month ended September 30, 2012 were primarily derived from the exits of select investments, including $42.8 million from the exit of New Omaha Holdings Co-Invests L.P. and a foreign exchange loss of $9.9 million
derived from the sale of our investment in AB Acquisitions. A portion of the realized losses incurred upon the exit of these investments reversed out previously reported unrealized losses. Net realized losses for the three and six month periods
ended September 30, 2011 were primarily derived from the exits of select investments, including Playpower Holdings, TL Acquisitions and FSC Holdings. A portion of the realized losses incurred upon the exit of these investments reversed out
previously reported unrealized losses.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments, Cash Equivalents and Foreign Currencies

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, net change in unrealized depreciation on the Companys investments, cash
equivalents, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities totaled $69.1 million and $37.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, net change in unrealized depreciation on the Companys
investments, cash equivalents, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities totaled $(292.6) million and $(294.3) million, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, the positive change in unrealized
depreciation was derived from a combination of improvements in the fundamental operating performance at select portfolio companies, general capital market conditions, and the recognition of realized losses which reversed previously recognized
unrealized depreciation.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in unrealized depreciation was derived from
a decline in general capital market conditions offset by the recognition of realized losses which reversed unrealized depreciation.

Net
Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets From Operations

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net
increase in net assets resulting from operations of $73.0 million and $61.4 million, respectively For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $267.3 million
and $267.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 basic and diluted earnings per average share were $0.36 and $0.35, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 basic and diluted earnings per
average share were $0.30 and $0.30, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 basic and diluted losses per average share were $1.36 and $1.36, respectively

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys liquidity and capital resources are
generated and generally available through periodic follow-on equity and debt offerings, our senior secured, multi-currency $1.14 billion Senior Secured Facility maturing on May 23, 2016 (see note 10 within the Notes to Financial Statements),
our senior secured notes, investments in special purpose entities in which we hold and finance particular investments on a non-recourse basis, as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and prepayments of senior
and subordinated loans and income earned from investments. The Company also has investments in its portfolio that contain PIK provisions. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional
securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends
receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. In order to maintain the Companys status as a
RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders annually in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, accrued PIK totaled $4.5 and
$8.8 million, repectively, on total investment income of $83.8 and $164.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months

##### Table of Contents

ended September 30, 2011, accrued PIK totaled $4.9 and $8.4 million, respectively, on total investment income of $94.0 and $188.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the
Company had $465 million in borrowings outstanding on its Senior Secured Facility and $675 million of unused capacity. As of September 30, 2012, aggregate lender commitments under the Senior Secured Facility total $1.14 billion.

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, providing for a private placement issuance of $225 million in aggregate
principal amount of five-year, senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.25% and a maturity date of October 4, 2015 (the 2015 Notes). On October 4, 2010, the 2015 Notes were sold to certain institutional accredited
investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Interest on the 2015 Notes will be due semi-annually on April 4 and October 4, commencing on
April 4, 2011. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2015 Notes were primarily used to reduce other outstanding borrowings and/or commitments on the Companys then existing facility.

On January 25, 2011, we closed a private offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes (the
Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an
annual rate of 5.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2011. The Convertible Notes will mature on January 15, 2016 unless earlier converted or repurchased at the
holders option. Prior to December 15, 2015, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon certain corporate reorganizations, dilutive recapitalizations or dividends, or if, during specified periods our shares trade at
more than 130% of the then applicable conversion price or the Convertible Notes trade at less than 97% of their conversion value and, thereafter, at any time. The Convertible Notes will be convertible by the holders into shares of common stock,
initially at a conversion rate of 72.7405 shares of the Companys common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (14,548,100 common shares) corresponding to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.75, which represents a
premium of 17.5% to the $11.70 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on January 19, 2011. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits
and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases in dividends in excess of $0.28 per share per quarter and certain changes in control. Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion
price floor of $11.70 per share. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes;
equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to
the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

On August 11, 2011, the Company adopted a plan for the purpose of repurchasing up to $200 million of its common stock in accordance with the
guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Companys plan was designed to allow it to repurchase its shares both during its open window periods and at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so
under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on the Companys behalf in
accordance with the terms of the plan. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. While the portion of the plan reliant on Rule 10b-18 remains in effect, the
portion reliant on Rule 10b5-1 is subject to periodic renewal and is not currently in effect. As of September 30, 2012, no shares have been repurchased.

On September 29, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $45 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes consisting of two series: (1) 5.875% Senior Secured Notes, Series
A, of the Company due September 29, 2016 in the aggregate principal amount of $29 million; and (2) 6.250% Senior Secured Notes,

##### Table of Contents

Series B, of the Company due September 29, 2018, in the aggregate principal amount of $16 million. The notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

In April 2012, the Company announced that a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC
purchased 5,847,953 newly issued shares of the Company based on the NAV as of March 31, 2012 of $8.55 per share. AICs Investment Advisor, Apollo Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, is waiving the base management and incentive
fees associated with this equity capital for a one year period between April 2, 2012 and April 1, 2013.

On October 9, 2012, we
issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2042 for net proceeds of $145,275 (the 2042 Notes). Interest on the 2042 Notes is paid quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15
and October 15, at a rate of 6.625% per year, commencing on January 15, 2013. The 2042 Notes mature on October 15, 2042. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after
October 15, 2017.

Cash Equivalents

We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. (See note 2(m) within the accompanying financial statements.) At the end
of each fiscal quarter, we consider taking proactive steps utilizing cash equivalents with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility during the following quarter, pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, we may
purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically close out that position on the following business day, settling the sale transaction on a net cash basis with the purchase, subsequent to quarter
end. Apollo Investment may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on our Senior Secured Facility, as we deem appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is
excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. There were no cash equivalents held as of September 30, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements (dollars in thousands)

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding commitments with banks to purchase secured
term loans and unsecured bridge loans in the aggregate amount of $325,503. AICs commitments are subject to the consummation of the underlying corporate transactions and conditional upon receipt of all necessary shareholder, regulatory and
other applicable approvals.

As of November 7, 2012 the outstanding commitments with banks to purchase secured term loans and unsecured
bridge loans in the aggregate was $106,000.

The Company also has unfunded commitments on senior loans as of September 30, 2012, of
$85,514.

AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (amounts in thousands)

We own all of the common member interests in AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (AIC Holdco). AIC Holdco was formed for the purpose of holding various financed investments. AIC Holdco wholly owns
three special purpose entities, each of which in 2008 acquired directly or indirectly an investment in a particular security from an unaffiliated entity that provided leverage for the investment as part of the sale. Each of these transactions is
described in more detail below together with summary financial information.

In the first of these investments, in June 2008 we invested
through AIC Holdco $39,500 in AIC (FDC) Holdings LLC (Apollo FDC). Apollo FDC used the proceeds to purchase a Junior Profit-Participating Note due 2013 in principal amount of $39,500 (the Junior Note) issued by Apollo I Trust
(the Trust). The Trust also issued a Senior Floating Rate Note due 2013 (the Senior Note) to an unaffiliated third party in principal amount of $39,500 paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, increasing over time to LIBOR plus
2.0%. The Trust used the aggregate $79,000 proceeds to acquire $100,000 face value of a senior subordinated loan of First Data Corporation (the FDC Loan) due 2016. The FDC Loan pays interest at 11.25% per year. The Junior Note of
the Trust owned by Apollo FDC pays to Apollo FDC all of the interest and other proceeds received by the Trust on the FDC Loan after satisfying the Trusts obligations on the Senior Note. The holder of the Senior Note has no recourse to Apollo
FDC, AIC Holdco or us with respect to any interest on, or principal of, the Senior Note. However, if the value of the FDC Loan held by the Trust declines sufficiently, the investment would be unwound unless Apollo FDC posts additional collateral for
the benefit of the Senior Note. Consequently, the maximum exposure on this investment is the amount of our investment in the Junior Note and any additional collateral we determine to post. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we sold
$47,145 face value of the FDC Loan. As a result of this transaction, as of September 30, 2012, the FDC Loan par balance outstanding is $52,855, the Junior Note balance is $21,472 and the Senior Note balance is $20,283.

In the second of these investments, in June 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $11,375 in AIC (TXU) Holdings LLC (Apollo TXU). Apollo TXU
acquired exposure to $50,000 notional amount of a LIBOR plus 3.5% senior secured delayed draw term loan of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings (TXU) due 2014 through a non-recourse total return swap (the TRS) with an
unaffiliated third party expiring on October 10, 2013. Pursuant to such delayed draw term loan, Apollo TXU pays an unaffiliated third-party interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% and generally receives all proceeds due under the delayed draw term loan of
TXU (the TXU Term Loan). Like Apollo FDC, Apollo TXU is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the TXU Term Loan and, since the TRS is a non-recourse arrangement, Apollo TXU is exposed only up to the amount of its investment in
the TRS, plus any additional margin we decide to post, if any, during the term of the financing. The TRS does not constitute a senior security or a borrowing of Apollo TXU. In connection with the amendment and extension of the TXU Term Loan in April
2011, for which Apollo TXU received a consent fee along with an increase in the rate of the TXU Term Loan to LIBOR plus 4.5%, Apollo TXU extended its TRS to 2016 at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of September 30, 2012, Apollo TXUs notional
exposure to the TXU term loan is $47,471.

##### Table of Contents

In the third of these investments, in September 2008 we invested through AIC Holdco $10,022 in AIC (Boots)
Holdings, LLC (Apollo Boots). Apollo Boots acquired 23,383 and £12,465 principal amount of senior term loans of AB Acquisitions Topco 2 Limited, a holding company for the Alliance Boots group of companies (the Boots
Term Loans), out of the proceeds of our investment and a multicurrency $40,876 equivalent non-recourse loan to Apollo Boots (the Acquisition Loan) by an unaffiliated third party that matures in September 2013 and pays interest at
LIBOR plus 1.25% or, in certain cases, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the lenders prime-rate. The Boots Term Loans pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3% per year and mature in June 2015. During the three and six
months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 13,275 and £11,561 and 23,383 and £12,465 principal amount of the Boots Term Loans, respectively. At September 30, 2012, there was no outstanding principal balance of the
Boots Term Loans with the assets representing the receivable due on the sale of the Boots Term Loans.

We do not consolidate AIC Holdco or its
wholly owned subsidiaries and accordingly only the value of our investment in AIC Holdco is included on our statement of assets and liabilities. Our investment in AIC Holdco is valued in accordance with our normal valuation procedures and is based

Dividends

Dividends to stockholders for
the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $40.6 million or $0.20 per share, and $81.2 million or $0.40 per share, respectively. Dividends to stockholders for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $55.0
million or $0.28 per share, and $109.8 million or $0.56 per share, respectively. Tax characteristics of all dividends will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our quarterly dividends, if any, will be
determined by our Board of Directors.

We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC status, we
must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In addition, although we currently intend
to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain
such capital gains for investment.

We maintain an opt out dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if
we declare a dividend, then stockholders cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of
these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our Senior Secured Facility may limit
our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions or fail to satisfy other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we may suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the
tax benefits available to us as a regulated investment company. In addition, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as
contractual payment-in-kind interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without
receiving cash representing such income, we may not be able to meet the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a regulated investment company.

##### Table of Contents

With respect to the dividends to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and
other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies is treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.

Pursuant to a recent revenue procedure (Revenue Procedure 2010-12), issued by the IRS (the Revenue Procedure), the IRS has indicated that it will treat distributions from certain publicly
traded RICs (including BDCs) that are paid part in cash and part in stock as dividends that would satisfy the RICs annual distribution requirements and qualify for the dividends paid deduction for federal income tax purposes. In order to
qualify for such treatment, the Revenue Procedure requires that at least 10% of the total distribution be payable in cash and that each stockholder have a right to elect to receive its entire distribution in cash. If too many stockholders elect to
receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash must receive a proportionate share of the cash to be distributed (although no stockholder electing to receive cash may receive less than 10% of such stockholders distribution in cash).
This Revenue Procedure applies to distributions declared on or before December 31, 2012 with respect to taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, many of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates. These
loans are usually based on floating LIBOR and typically have durations of one to six months after which they reset to current market interest rates. The Company also has a Senior Secured Facility that is based on floating LIBOR rates. Assuming no
changes to our balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, a hypothetical one percent increase in LIBOR on our floating rate assets and liabilities would decrease our earnings by approximately one cent per average share over the next twelve months.
Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, a hypothetical one percent decrease in LIBOR on our floating rate assets and liabilities would increase our earnings by approximately one cent per average share over the next
twelve months. However, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time-to-time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities
laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. During the three and six
months ended September 30, 2012, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of
September 30, 2012 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b)    Changes in Internal Controls Over
Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Companys internal control over financing reporting that
occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Risk Factors section
of Amendment Number 7 to our Form N-2 filed on August 22, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties
not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In April 2012, the Company announced that a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC purchased 5,847,953 newly issued shares of the Company based on the NAV as of March 31, 2012 of $8.55 per
share for $50 million. AICs Investment Advisor, Apollo Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, is waiving the base management and incentive fees associated with this equity capital for a one year period between April 2, 2012 and
April 1, 2013. The Company sold these shares without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Securities Act), in reliance on an
exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act.
