Highlight of Business Operations:

Investment income decreased by $1.7 million, or 15.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the three months December 31, 2009. The decrease in investment income was primarily a result of a decrease in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as well as a decrease in average outstanding investments. The decrease in interest from the amortization of discounts and origination fees occurred as a result of decreased payoff activity. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, total investment income consisted of $7.2 million in interest income from investments and $1.9 million in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, total investment income consisted of $7.7 million in interest income and $3.1 million in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees.

During the period we used $38.0 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $97.6 million, which was partially offset by proceeds from principal payments of $51.4 million and sales of portfolio investments of $12.7 million and net investment income of $4.2 million. During the same period, cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was $14.0 million, primarily due to borrowings on debt of $20.0 million, partially offset by distributions paid of $5.0 million. Lastly, net cash provided by investing activities was $4.2 million as a result of an increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents can be used to fund new investments that meet the investment guidelines established in the Debt Securitization, which are described in further detail in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements and for the payment of interest expense on the notes issued in the Debt Securitization.

At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, our investment portfolio included $34.9 million and $48.2 million, respectively, in liquid, broadly syndicated loans that we anticipate selling in future periods as we find new opportunities to redeploy those assets into higher yielding investments.
