APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization

Apollo Investment
Corporation, a Maryland corporation organized on February 2, 2004, is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (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. Our investment objective is to generate
both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in middle-market companies in the form of mezzanine and senior secured loans, each of which may include an equity component, and, to a lesser
extent, by making equity investments in such companies.

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 presentation 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. Investments maturing
in 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. 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;



27

##### Table of Contents

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



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

(3) independent valuation firms engaged by our board of
directors conduct independent appraisals and review our investment advisers preliminary valuations and make their own independent assessment;

(4) the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of our investment adviser and that of
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 June 30, 2010, 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.

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.

On October 10, 2008, revised guidance was issued which provides examples of how to determine fair value in a
market that is not active. It did not change the fair value measurement principles set forth in ASC 820.

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



Furthermore, on April 9, 2009, the FASB issued additional revised guidance which provides information on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. According to this guidance in the above circumstances, more analysis and significant adjustments to
transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, it requires disclosure of any changes in valuation techniques and related inputs resulting from the application. The total effect of the change in valuation
techniques and related inputs must also be disclosed by major asset category. This revised guidance was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or
results of operations. Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements was released in January 2010 and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009. This update improves financial
statement disclosure around transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, around valuation techniques and inputs and around other related disclosures. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting
period. See certain additional disclosures in note 6.

(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
represents contractual interest or dividends accrued and is added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally becomes due at maturity. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are
capitalized and we amortize such amounts into income. 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.

(e) The Company intends to
comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 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 and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and ASC
810Consolidation, 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 generally will not consolidate special purpose entities through which the special purpose entity acquires and holds investments subject to financing with third parties. At June 30, 2010, the Company did
not have any such subsidiaries or controlled operating companies that were consolidated. See note 6. In addition and pursuant to ASC 860Transfers and Servicing, the Company may in the future need to consolidate certain special purpose
entities involving transfers of our portfolio investments.

(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 and unrealized gain or loss
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 expenses related to its multi-currency revolving credit facility as prepaid assets.
These expenses are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated life of the facility.

(l) The Company records expenses related to shelf filings and other applicable offering costs as prepaid assets. These
expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies.

(m) Loans and other investments, including certain preferred equity investments are generally placed on non-accrual status
when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends is generally reversed when an investment is
placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual designated investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual
status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and/or in managements judgment, are likely to remain current. To the extent PIK interest or dividends are not expected to be realized, a reserve will be established as required
by the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies.

(n) 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

Apollo
Investment has an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with Apollo Investment Management, L.P. (the Investment Adviser or AIM), under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of Apollo
Investments board of directors, will manage the day-to-day operations of, and provide investment advisory services to, Apollo Investment. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from Apollo Investment, consisting of
two componentsa base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is determined by taking the average value of Apollo Investments gross assets 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 Apollo Investments

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 Apollo Investments operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, 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 Apollo Investments 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. Apollo Investment pays the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to Apollo
Investments pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which Apollo Investments pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed 1.75%, which
we commonly refer to as the performance threshold; (2) 100% of Apollo Investments 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 Apollo Investments pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately pro rated 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 Apollo Investments
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 and Management Agreement, as of
the termination date) and will equal 20% of Apollo Investments 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 the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Investment Adviser accrued $14,554 and $12,722, respectively, in base
investment advisory and management fees and $10,207 and $12,332, respectively, in performance-based incentive fees from Apollo Investment.

Apollo Investment has also entered into an Administration Agreement with Apollo Investment Administration, LLC (the Administrator) under
which the Administrator provides administrative services for Apollo Investment. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, Apollo Investment reimburses the Administrator for Apollo Investments allocable portion of overhead
and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and Apollo Investments allocable portion of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their
respective staffs. The Administrator will also provide, on Apollo Investments behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which Apollo Investment is required to provide such assistance.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Administrator was reimbursed $0 and $0, respectively, from Apollo Investment on
the $1,396 and $1,309, respectively, of expenses accrued under the Administration Agreement.

On December 21, 2009, Apollo Investment
amended its Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2006 (the Facility), among Apollo Investment, the lenders party thereto and

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan), as administrative agent for the lenders. The amendment extended the maturity date of certain lenders commitments totaling $1,178,750 until
April 12, 2013, with the pricing reset to 300 basis points over LIBOR. Non-extended lenders whose commitments will expire on April 13, 2011 totaled $380,000. Pricing with respect to the non-extended commitments remains at 100 basis points
over LIBOR. The Facility also permits Apollo Investment to seek additional commitments from new and existing lenders in the future, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000,000. The Facility is used to supplement Apollos equity capital
to make additional portfolio investments and for general corporate purposes. From time to time, certain of the lenders provide customary commercial and investment banking services to Apollo Investment and its affiliates. JPMorgan also serves as
custodian and fund accounting agent for Apollo Investment.

Note 4. Net Asset Value Per Share

At June 30, 2010, the Companys total net assets and net asset value per share were $1,842,902 and $9.51, respectively. This compares to total
net assets and net asset value per share at March 31, 2010 of $1,772,806 and $10.06, respectively.

Note 6. Investments

AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLCWe own all of the common member interests in AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (AIC
Holdco), which was formed for the purpose of holding various financed investments. Effective in June 2008, we invested $39,500 in a special purpose entity wholly owned by AIC Holdco, AIC (FDC) Holdings LLC (Apollo FDC), which was
used to purchase a Junior Profit-Participating Note due 2013 in principal amount of $39,500 (the Junior Note) from 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 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 Reference Obligation) due 2016 and paying interest at 11.25% per year. The Junior Note generally entitles Apollo FDC to the net interest and other proceeds
due under the FDC Reference Obligation after payment of interest due under the Senior Notes, as described above. In addition, Apollo FDC is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the FDC Reference Obligation and, since the Senior Note is a
non-recourse obligation, Apollo FDC is exposed up to the amount of equity used by AIC Holdco to fund the purchase of the Junior Note plus any additional margin Apollo decides to post, if any, during the term of the financing.

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



Through AIC Holdco, effective in June 2008, we invested $11,375 in a special purpose entity wholly owned
by AIC Holdco, AIC (TXU) Holdings LLC (Apollo TXU), which 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 with an unaffiliated third party expiring on October 10, 2013 and pursuant to which Apollo TXU pays interest at Libor plus 1.5% and generally receives all proceeds due under the delayed draw term loan of TXU (the
TXU Reference Obligation). Like Apollo FDC, Apollo TXU is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the TXU Reference Obligation and, since the total return swap is a non-recourse obligation, Apollo TXU is exposed up to the amount
of equity used by AIC Holdco to fund the investment in the total return swap, plus any additional margin we decide to post, if any, during the term of the financing.

Through AIC Holdco, effective in September 2008, we invested $10,022 equivalent, in a special purpose entity wholly owned by AIC Holdco, AIC (Boots)
Holdings, LLC (Apollo Boots), which 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 Reference
Obligations), 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 Reference Obligations pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3% per year and mature in June 2015.

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. The Senior Note, total return swap 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 Reference Obligation, the TXU Reference Obligation or the Boots
Reference Obligation, as applicable, declines below specified levels. We may unwind any of these transactions at any time without penalty. From time to time Apollo Investment may provide additional capital to AIC Holdco for purposes of 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 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 three months ended June 30, 2010, $1,700 of net capital was provided to AIC Holdco.

Investments consisted of the following as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligor to repurchase, the Company has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances,
in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. There were no repurchase agreements outstanding at June 30, 2010 or

$1,178,750 until April 12, 2013. The commitments of certain non-extended lenders totaling $380,000 will mature on April 13, 2011. The Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in Apollo Investments portfolio, including
cash and cash equivalents. Pricing with respect to the commitments of extended lenders is at 300 basis points over LIBOR while pricing with respect to the non-extended lenders remains at 100 basis points over LIBOR. The 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) $725,000 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) maintaining minimum
liquidity, (e) 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, (f) limitations on liens,
(g) limitations on investments (other than in the ordinary course of Apollo Investments business), (h) limitations on mergers and disposition of assets (other than in the normal course of Apollo Investments business
activities), (i) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that permit liens on properties of Apollo Investments consolidated subsidiaries and (j) 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 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 Facility is used to supplement Apollo Investments equity capital to make additional portfolio investments and for other general corporate
purposes.

The average debt outstanding on the Facility was $1,004,920 and $1,041,084 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, respectively. The weighted average annual interest cost for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 2.95%, exclusive of 1.00% for commitment fees and for other prepaid expenses related to establishing
the Facility. The weighted average annual interest cost for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.59%, exclusive of 0.25% for commitment fees and for other prepaid expenses related to establishing the Facility. This weighted average annual
interest cost reflects the average interest cost for all borrowings, including EURIBOR, CAD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR and USD LIBOR. The maximum amount borrowed during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010
was $1,135,728 and $1,163,167, respectively, at value. The remaining capacity under the Facility was $565,716 at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants required by the Facility.

APOLLO INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands except share and per share amounts)



Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has the ability to issue standby letters of credit through its revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the
Company had issued standby letters of credit through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. totaling $3,708 and $3,508, respectively.

On May 21,
2010, the special servicer with respect to certain of InnKeepers indebtedness, Midland Loan Services, Inc., filed a complaint against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, New York County (the New York Court). The Complaint
alleges that the Company guaranteed certain property improvement projects which InnKeepers has failed to timely complete. The Complaint asserts a single claim for specific performance of the Companys guaranty. On June 30, 2010, the
Company filed a motion to dismiss with the New York Court. As of August 4, 2010, the New York Court had not ruled on the Companys motion to dismiss. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, to which it believes it has
meritorious defenses.

On June 6, 2010, the Company provided commitments to Altegrity Holding Corp. (Altegrity Holding) and
Altegrity, Inc. (Altegrity) (entities owned and controlled by affiliates of Providence Equity Partners VI L.P.) to purchase $210,000 of senior notes to be issued by Altegrity (the Senior Notes) and to make a $21,000 equity
investment (the Equity Investment) in Altegrity Holdings to fund a portion of the acquisition (the Acquisition) of Kroll, Inc. (Kroll) by Altegrity. A portion of the Equity Investment may be in the form of
junior subordinated notes to be issued by Altegrity ( the Junior Subordinated Notes, and together with the Equity Investment, the Equity).

The transaction closed on August 3, 2010, whereby the Company purchased $130,000 of the Senior Notes and $15,500 of the Equity.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On
April 13, 2010, InnKeepers USA Trust (InnKeepers), a subsidiary of Grand Prix Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of the Company, disclosed that it had not made certain scheduled monthly interest payments on certain of its debt
obligations, and had retained financial and legal advisors to assist it in an evaluation of financial alternatives, including a potential restructuring of its balance sheet.

On July 19, 2010, Innkeepers disclosed that it had filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York (the Bankruptcy Court) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to effectuate a pre-arranged plan of reorganization (the Plan). In addition, on the same day the Company entered into a letter
agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Lehman ALI, Inc. (Lehman), the lender to Innkeepers under a floating rate mortgage loan agreement dated as of June 29, 2007. The Letter Agreement provides that, following
confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of the Plan and prior to the effective date of the Plan, Lehman and AIC will enter into a purchase agreement pursuant to which Lehman will sell to AIC the right to receive 50% of the equity in the reorganized
Innkeepers received by Lehman in connection with the consummation of the Plan (representing approximately 48.5% of the reorganized Innkeepers) in exchange for cash in an amount equal to $107,500. The Letter Agreement is terminable in a number of
circumstances including at the election of either party for any reason on or before September 1, 2010, unless extended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Apollo Investment Corporation

We have reviewed
the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Apollo Investment Corporation (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2010 and the related statements of operations for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the statement of cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the statement of changes in net assets for the three month period ended June 30,
2010. 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 have 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, 2010, and the related statement of operations, of cash flows, and statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended, and in our report dated May 26, 2010, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2010 and in the statement of changes in net assets for the year
then ended, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the statement of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 June 30, 2010, 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 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). Qualifying
assets include investments in eligible portfolio companies. Pursuant to rules adopted in 2006, the SEC expanded the definition of eligible portfolio company to include certain public companies that do not have any securities
listed on a national securities exchange. The SEC also adopted an additional rule under the 1940 Act to expand the definition of eligible portfolio company to include companies whose securities are listed on a national securities
exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million. This rule became effective on July 21, 2008.

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 payment-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 or upon 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, etc.

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;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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, benchmarks LIBOR and EURIBOR, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we invested $221 million across 3 new and 8 existing portfolio companies, through a mix of primary and
opportunistic secondary market purchases. This compares to investing $61 million in 4 existing portfolio companies for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Investments sold or prepaid during the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled
$114 million versus $70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2010, our net portfolio consisted of 68
portfolio companies and was invested 32% in senior secured loans, 57% in subordinated debt, 1% in preferred equity and 10% in common equity and warrants measured at fair value versus 72 portfolio companies invested 26% in senior secured loans, 58%
in subordinated debt, 3% in preferred equity and 13% in common equity and warrants at June 30, 2009.

The weighted average yields on our
senior secured loan portfolio, subordinated debt portfolio and total debt portfolio as of June 30, 2010 at our current cost basis were 8.8%, 13.3%, and 11.7%, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the yields were 7.9%, 13.4%, and 11.8%,
respectively.

Since the initial public offering of Apollo Investment in April 2004 and through June 30, 2010, invested capital totaled
$6.5 billion in 131 portfolio companies. Over the same period, Apollo Investment completed transactions with more than 85 different financial sponsors.

At June 30, 2010, 61% or $1.6 billion of our income-bearing investment portfolio is fixed rate debt and 39% or $1.0 billion is floating rate debt,
measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 63% or $1.8 billion of our income-bearing investment portfolio is fixed rate debt and 37% or $1.1 billion is floating rate debt. At June 30, 2009, 67% or $1.5 billion of our income-bearing investment
portfolio was fixed rate debt and 33% or $0.7 billion was

floating rate debt. On a cost basis, 66% or $1.9 billion of our income-bearing investment portfolio was fixed rate debt and 34% or $1.0 billion was floating rate debt.

On April 13, 2010, InnKeepers USA Trust (InnKeepers), a subsidiary of Grand Prix Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of the Company,
disclosed that it had not made certain scheduled monthly interest payments on certain of its debt obligations, and had retained financial and legal advisors to assist it in an evaluation of financial alternatives, including a potential restructuring
of its balance sheet.

On May 21, 2010, the special servicer with respect to certain of InnKeepers indebtedness, Midland Loan

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.

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.
Investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or



45



---

##### Table of Contents

minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. 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 engaged by our board of directors conduct independent appraisals and review
our investment advisers preliminary valuations and make their own independent assessment;

(4) the audit
committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuation of our investment adviser and that of 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 June 30, 2010, there has been no change to the Companys valuation techniques and related inputs 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.



46

##### Table of Contents

On October 10, 2008, revised guidance was issued which provides examples of how to determine fair value
in a market that is not active. It did not change the fair value measurement principles set forth in ASC 820. Furthermore, on April 9, 2009, the FASB issued additional revised guidance which provides information on estimating fair value when
the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. According to this guidance in the above circumstances, more
analysis and significant adjustments to transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, it requires disclosure of any changes in valuation techniques and related inputs resulting from the application. The total
effect of the change in valuation techniques and related inputs must also be disclosed by major asset category. This revised guidance was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair
Value Measurements was released in January 2010 and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009. This update improves financial statement disclosure around transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, around
valuation techniques and inputs and around other related disclosures. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. See certain additional disclosures in note 6 to our financial statements.

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 represents contractual interest or dividends accrued and is added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. Loan origination fees,
original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and we amortize such amounts into income. 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.

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, when gains or losses are
realized.

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 months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

Investment Income

For the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, gross investment income totaled $78.2 million and $82.6 million, respectively. The decrease in gross investment income from the June 2009 quarter to the June 2010 quarter was primarily due to the
reduction in the size of the income-producing portfolio as compared to the previous June quarter.

##### Table of Contents

Expenses

Expenses totaled $37.4 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, of which $24.8
million and $25.1 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $9.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses. Of these expenses, general and administrative
expenses totaled $2.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. 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 increase in expenses from the June 2009 to the June 2010 quarter was primarily related to the increase in interest and other credit facility
expenses due to the December 2009 amendment to our revolving credit facility.

Net Investment Income

The Companys net investment income totaled $40.8 million and $49.3 million, or $0.22, and $0.35, on a per average share basis, respectively, for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

Net Realized Gains (Losses)

The Company had investment sales and prepayments totaling $114 million and $70 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2009. Net realized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $3.9 million. For the June 2009 quarter, net losses totaled $98.2 million. Net realized gains for the June 2010 quarter were primarily derived from foreign
currencies. Net realized losses for the June 2009 quarter were primarily derived from selective exits of underperforming investments.

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

For the three months ended June 30,
2010, net change in unrealized depreciation on the Companys investments, cash equivalents, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities totaled $129.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net change in unrealized
appreciation totaled $133.4 million. Net unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 2010 was primarily due to net changes in specific portfolio company fundamentals and slightly weaker capital market conditions. For the three months
ended June 2009, an increase in unrealized appreciation was recognized from higher fair value determinations on many of our investments. These higher fair values were driven primarily from improving conditions in the capital markets.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets From Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $84.3 million. For the three
months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $84.5 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, loss per average share was $0.45. For the three months ended June 30, 2009,
earnings per average share were $0.59.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through periodic follow-on equity offerings, our senior secured,
multi-currency $1.56 billion revolving credit facility (see note 12 within the Notes to Financial Statements), 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. At June 30, 2010, the Company had $993 million in borrowings outstanding and $566 million of unused
capacity on its revolving credit facility. In the future, the Company may raise additional equity or debt capital off its shelf registration, among other considerations. The primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies, reductions

debt outstanding and other general corporate purposes. On May 3, 2010, the Company closed on its most recent follow-on public equity offering of 17.25 million shares of common stock at
$12.40 per share raising approximately $204 million in net proceeds.

Cash Equivalents

The Company deems certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. (See note
2(n) within the accompanying financial statements.) At the end of each fiscal quarter, Apollo Investment considers taking proactive steps utilizing cash equivalents with the objective of enhancing the Companys investment flexibility during the
following quarter, pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, Apollo Investment may purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically closes 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 its revolving
credit facility, as it deems 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 $199.9
million of cash equivalents held, at value, as of June 30, 2010.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into two contracts under which we have future commitments: the investment advisory and management agreement, pursuant to which AIM has
agreed to serve as our investment adviser, and the administration agreement, pursuant to which the Administrator has agreed to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations and provide on
our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. Payments under the investment advisory and management agreement are equal to (1) a percentage of the value of our average gross
assets and (2) a two-part incentive fee. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of the Administrators overhead in performing its obligations under the administration
agreement, including rent, technology systems, insurance and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Either party may terminate each of the investment advisory
and management agreement and administration agreement without penalty upon not more than 60 days written notice to the other. Please see note 3 within our financial statements for more information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (dollars in thousands)

The Company has the ability to issue standby letters of credit through its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the
Company had issued through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. standby letters of credit totaling $3,708 and $3,508, respectively.

On June 6,
2010, the Company provided commitments to Altegrity Holding Corp. (Altegrity Holding) and Altegrity, Inc. (Altegrity) (entities owned and controlled by affiliates of Providence Equity Partners VI L.P.) to purchase $210,000 of
senior notes to be issued by Altegrity (the Senior Notes) and to make a $21,000 equity investment (the Equity Investment) in Altegrity Holdings to fund a portion of the acquisition (the Acquisition) of Kroll, Inc.
(Kroll) by Altegrity. A portion of the Equity Investment may be in the form of junior subordinated notes to be issued by Altegrity ( the Junior Subordinated Notes, and together with the Equity Investment, the
Equity).

The transaction closed on August 3, 2010, whereby the Company purchased $130,000 of the Senior Notes and $15,500 of
the Equity.

AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (currencies in thousands)

We own all of the common member interests in AIC Credit Opportunity Fund LLC (AIC Holdco), which was formed for the purpose of holding various
financed investments. Effective in June 2008, we invested $39,500 in a special purpose entity wholly owned by AIC Holdco, AIC (FDC) Holdings LLC (Apollo FDC), which was used to purchase a Junior Profit-Participating Note due 2013 in
principal amount of $39,500 (the Junior Note) from 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 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 Reference Obligation) due 2016 and paying interest at 11.25% per year. The Junior Note generally entitles Apollo FDC to the net interest and other proceeds due under the FDC Reference Obligation after payment of
interest due under the Senior Notes, as described above. In addition, Apollo FDC is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the FDC Reference Obligation and, since the Senior Note is a non-recourse obligation, Apollo FDC is exposed up to
the amount of equity used by AIC Holdco to fund the purchase of the Junior Note plus any additional margin Apollo decides to post, if any, during the term of the financing.

Through AIC Holdco, effective in June 2008, we invested $11,375 in a special purpose entity wholly owned by AIC Holdco, AIC (TXU) Holdings LLC
(Apollo TXU), which acquired exposure to $50,000 notional amount

##### Table of Contents

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 with an unaffiliated third
party expiring on October 10, 2013 and pursuant to which Apollo TXU pays interest at Libor plus 1.5% and generally receives all proceeds due under the delayed draw term loan of TXU (the TXU Reference Obligation). Like Apollo FDC,
Apollo TXU is entitled to 100% of any realized appreciation in the TXU Reference Obligation and, since the total return swap is a non-recourse obligation, Apollo TXU is exposed up to the amount of equity used by AIC Holdco to fund the investment in
the total return swap, plus any additional margin we decide to post, if any, during the term of the financing.

Through AIC Holdco, effective
in September 2008, we invested $10,022 equivalent, in a special purpose entity wholly owned by AIC Holdco, AIC (Boots) Holdings, LLC (Apollo Boots), which 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 Reference Obligations), 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 Reference Obligations pay interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3% per year and mature in June 2015.

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. The Senior Note, total return swap 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 Reference Obligation, the TXU Reference Obligation or the Boots Reference Obligation, as applicable, declines below specified levels. We may unwind any of these transactions at any time without penalty.
From time to time Apollo Investment may provide additional capital to AIC Holdco for purposes of 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 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 three months ended June 30, 2010, $1,700 of net capital was provided to
AIC Holdco.

Dividends

Dividends paid to stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 totaled $54.3 million or $0.28 per share, and $37.0
million or $0.26 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.



51

##### Table of Contents

Also, our revolving credit facility may limit our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will
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 have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a
regulated investment company.

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.

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 June 30, 2010, 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. As the percentage of our U.S. mezzanine and other
subordinated loans increase as a percentage of our total investments, we expect that more of the loans in our portfolio will have fixed rates. At June 30, 2010, our floating-rate assets and floating-rate liabilities were closely matched. As
such, a change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our net investment income. 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. 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 months ended June 
30, 2010, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2010 (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

There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On April 13, 2010, InnKeepers USA Trust (InnKeepers), a subsidiary of Grand Prix Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of the Company,
disclosed that it had not made certain scheduled monthly interest payments on certain of its debt obligations, and had retained financial and legal advisors to assist it in an evaluation of financial alternatives, including a potential restructuring
of its balance sheet.

On May 21, 2010, the special servicer with respect to certain of InnKeepers indebtedness, Midland Loan
Services, Inc., filed a complaint against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, New York County (the New York Court). The Complaint alleges that the Company guaranteed certain property improvement projects which InnKeepers has
failed to timely complete. The Complaint asserts a single claim for specific performance of the Companys guaranty. On June 30, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss with the New York Court. As of August 4, 2010, the New York
Court had not ruled on the Companys motion to dismiss. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, to which it believes it has meritorious defenses.

On July 19, 2010, Innkeepers disclosed that it had filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York (the Bankruptcy Court) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to effectuate a pre-arranged plan of reorganization (the Plan).

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I Item 1A. Risk
Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
