MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.Organization

Main Street Capital Corporation (“MSCC”) was formed on March 9, 2007 for the purpose of (i) acquiring 100% of the equity interests of Main Street Mezzanine Fund, LP (“MSMF”) and its general partner, Main Street Mezzanine Management, LLC (“MSMF GP”), (ii) acquiring 100% of the equity interests of Main Street Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), (iii) raising capital in an initial public offering, which was completed in October 2007 (the “IPO”), and (iv) thereafter operating as an internally managed business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). MSMF is licensed as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the Investment Manager acts as MSMF’s manager and investment adviser. Because the Investment Manager, which employs all of the executive officers and other employees of MSCC, is wholly owned by MSCC, MSCC does not pay any external investment advisory fees but instead incurs the net operating costs associated with employing investment and portfolio management professionals through the Investment Manager. The IPO and related transactions discussed above were consummated in October 2007 and are collectively termed the “Formation Transactions.”

On January 7, 2010, MSCC consummated transactions (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange 1,239,695 shares of its common stock for approximately 88% of the total dollar value of the limited partner interests in Main Street Capital II, LP (“MSC II” and, together with MSMF, the “Funds”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer, 100% of the membership interests in the general partner of MSC II, Main Street Capital II GP, LLC (“MSC II GP”), were also transferred to MSCC for no consideration. MSC II commenced operations in January 2006, is an investment fund that operates as an SBIC and is also managed by the Investment Manager. The Exchange Offer and related transactions, including the transfer of the MSC II GP interests, are collectively termed the “Exchange Offer Transactions” (see Note I).

MSCC has direct or indirect subsidiaries that have elected to be taxable entities (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”).  The primary purpose of these entities is to hold certain investments that generate “pass through” income for tax purposes.  The Taxable Subsidiaries are each taxed at their normal corporate tax rates based on their taxable income.

Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Main Street” refer to MSCC and its subsidiaries, including MSMF, MSC II, and the Taxable Subsidiaries.

2.Basis of Presentation

Main Street’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated financial statements of Main Street include the accounts of MSCC, MSMF, and the Taxable Subsidiaries.  The three and six months ended June 30, 2010 also include the accounts of MSC II and related entities.  To allow for more relevant disclosure of Main Street’s “core” investment portfolio, “core” portfolio investments, as used herein, refers to all of Main Street’s portfolio investments in lower middle market companies, excluding the Investment Manager, private placement portfolio investments, and all “Marketable securities and idle funds investments.”  Private placement portfolio investments include investments made through direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in Main Street’s core portfolio.  The Investment Manager is accounted for as a portfolio investment (see Note D).  “Marketable securities and idle funds investments” are classified as financial instruments and are reported separately on Main Street’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Schedule of Investments due to the nature of such investments (See Note B.9). Main Street’s results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and financial position as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are presented on a consolidated basis. The effects of all intercompany transactions between Main Street and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform with the current financial statement presentation, including the reclassification of private placement portfolio investments which were formerly classified as “Marketable securities and idle funds investments” and are now classified as portfolio investments in the “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments” category due to Main Street’s current intent to hold such investments until their maturity and the fact that their terms adhere more to Main Street’s portfolio investment strategy.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Main Street are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of

18

Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods included herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Also, the unaudited financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA Guide”), Main Street is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to this general principle in the AICPA Guide occurs if Main Street owns a controlled operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to Main Street or to an investment company of Main Street. None of the investments made by Main Street qualify for this exception. Therefore, Main Street’s portfolio investments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, as discussed further in Note B, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) from Investments” on the Statement of Operations until the investment is exited, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a “Net Realized Gain (Loss) from Investments.”

Portfolio Investment Classification

Main Street classifies its portfolio investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are defined as investments in which Main Street owns more than 25% of the voting securities or has rights to maintain greater than 50% of the board representation. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined as investments in which Main Street owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control investments nor Affiliate investments. The “Investment in affiliated Investment Manager” represents Main Street’s investment in a wholly owned investment manager subsidiary that is accounted for as a portfolio investment.

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Main Street accounts for its core portfolio investments, private placement portfolio investments, and the Investment Manager at fair value. As a result, Main Street adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in the first quarter of 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires Main Street to assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to independent market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. With the adoption of this statement, Main Street incorporated the income approach to estimate the fair value of its core portfolio debt investments principally using a yield-to-maturity model.

Main Street’s core portfolio strategy calls for it to invest primarily in illiquid securities issued by private, lower middle market companies. These core investments may be subject to restrictions on resale and will generally have no established trading market. Main Street determines in good faith the fair value of its portfolio investments pursuant to a valuation policy in accordance with ASC 820 and a valuation process approved by its Board of Directors and in accordance with the 1940 Act. Main Street reviews external events, including private mergers, sales and acquisitions involving comparable companies, and includes these events in the valuation process. Main Street’s valuation policy and process are intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of the portfolio.

For valuation purposes, control investments are composed of equity and debt securities for which Main Street has a controlling interest in the portfolio company or has the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  Market quotations are generally not readily available for Main Street’s control investments. As a result, Main

19

Street determines the fair value of control investments using a combination of market and income approaches. Under the market approach, Main Street will typically use the enterprise value methodology to determine the fair value of these investments. The enterprise value is the fair value at which an enterprise could be sold in a transaction between two willing parties, other than through a forced or liquidation sale. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value. There is no single methodology for estimating enterprise value. For any one portfolio company, enterprise value is generally described as a range of values from which a single estimate of enterprise value is derived. In estimating the enterprise value of a portfolio company, Main Street analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results. Main Street allocates the enterprise value to investments in order of the legal priority of the investments. Main Street will also use the income approach to determine the fair value of these securities, based on projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the portfolio company or the debt security will likely generate. The valuation approaches for Main Street’s control investments estimate the value of the investment if it were to sell, or exit, the investment, assuming the highest and best use of the investment by market participants. In addition, these valuation approaches consider the value associated with Main Street’s ability to control the capital structure of the portfolio company, as well as the timing of a potential exit.

For valuation purposes, non-control core portfolio investments are composed of debt and equity securities for which Main Street does not have a controlling interest in the portfolio company, or the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  Market quotations for investments are generally not readily available. For non-control core portfolio investments, Main Street uses a combination of market and income approaches to value its equity investments and the income approach to value its debt instruments. For non-control debt investments, Main Street determines the fair value primarily using a yield approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the financial position and credit risk of each of these portfolio investments. Main Street’s estimate of the expected repayment date of a debt security is generally the legal maturity date of the instrument, as Main Street generally intends to hold its loans to maturity. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance and other factors. Main Street will use the value determined by the yield analysis as the fair value for that security; however, because of Main Street’s general intent to hold its loans to maturity, the fair value will not exceed the face amount of the debt security. A change in the assumptions that Main Street uses to estimate the fair value of its debt securities using the yield analysis could have a material impact on the determination of fair value. If there is deterioration in credit quality or a debt security is in workout status, Main Street may consider other factors in determining the fair value of a debt security, including the value attributable to the debt security from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

Main Street uses a standard internal portfolio investment rating system in connection with its investment oversight, portfolio management/analysis and investment valuation procedures. This system takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors of the portfolio company and the investments held.

Pursuant to its internal valuation process, Main Street performs valuation procedures on each core portfolio company once a quarter. In addition to its internal valuation process, in arriving at estimates of fair value for portfolio companies, Main Street, among other things, consults with a nationally recognized independent advisor. The nationally recognized independent advisor is generally consulted relative to each core portfolio investment at least once in every calendar year, and for new core portfolio companies, at least once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In certain instances, Main Street may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in its stockholders’ best interest, to consult with the nationally recognized independent advisor on one or more portfolio companies. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of Main Street’s investment in a core portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio. Main Street consulted with its independent advisor in arriving at Main Street’s determination of fair value on a total of 18 core portfolio companies for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing approximately 38% of the total core portfolio investments at fair value as of June 30, 2010. Main Street consulted with its advisor relative to Main Street’s determination of fair value on 8 and 10 portfolio investments for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  The Board of Directors of Main Street has the final responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, Main Street’s estimate of the fair value for the investments consistent with the 1940 Act requirements.

20

Main Street’s private placement portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in Main Street’s core portfolio.  For valuation purposes, all of Main Street’s private placement portfolio investments are non-control investments and are composed of debt securities for which Main Street does not have a controlling interest in the portfolio company, or the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  Main Street primarily uses observable inputs to determine the fair value of these investments through obtaining third party quotes or other independent pricing.  As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had privately placed portfolio investments in 10 companies collectively totaling approximately $52.8 million in fair value with a total cost basis of approximately $52.4 million.  The median revenues for the 10 privately placed portfolio company investments was approximately $239 million.  All of Main Street’s total privately placed portfolio investments at cost were in the form of secured debt investments and 83% of such debt investments at cost were secured by first priority liens on portfolio company assets.  The weighted average effective yield on Main Street’s privately placed portfolio debt investments was approximately 13.5% as of June 30, 2010.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, Main Street’s estimate of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned. Main Street estimates the fair value of each individual investment and records changes in fair value as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

2.Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded as dividends are declared or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. In accordance with Main Street’s valuation policy, accrued interest and dividend income is evaluated periodically for collectability. When a loan or debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, and if Main Street otherwise does not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, Main Street will generally place the loan or debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan or debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If a loan or debt security’s status significantly improves regarding ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a loan or debt security is fully impaired or written off, it will be removed from non-accrual status.

While not significant to its total portfolio, Main Street holds debt and preferred equity instruments in its investment portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and cumulative dividend provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. Cumulative dividends are recorded as dividend income, and any dividends in arrears are added to the balance of the preferred equity investment.  The actual collection of dividends in arrears may be deferred until such time as the preferred equity is redeemed.  To maintain regulated investment company (“RIC”) tax treatment (as discussed below), these non-cash sources of income will need to be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though Main Street may not have collected the PIK interest and cumulative dividends in cash.

As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had three investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 3.7% of the total investment portfolio at fair value. At December 31, 2009, Main Street had three investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.1% of the investment portfolio at fair value.

3.Fee Income — Structuring and Advisory Services

Main Street may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to its portfolio companies. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

4.Unearned Income — Debt Origination Fees and Original Issue Discount

Main Street capitalizes upfront debt origination fees received in connection with financings and reflects such fees as unearned income netted against investments. Main Street will also capitalize and offset direct loan origination costs against the origination fees received. The unearned income from the fees, net of direct debt origination costs, is accreted into interest income based on the effective interest method over the life of the financing.

21

In connection with its portfolio debt investments, Main Street sometimes receives nominal cost warrants (“nominal cost equity”) that are valued as part of the negotiation process with the particular portfolio company. When Main Street receives nominal cost equity, Main Street allocates its cost basis in its investment between its debt securities and its nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the debt is reflected as unearned income, which is netted against the debt investment, and accreted into interest income based on the effective interest method over the life of the debt.

5.Share-Based Compensation

Main Street accounts for its share-based compensation plans using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, Main Street measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of its common stock on the date of the grant and amortizes that fair value as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period or vesting term.

6.Income Taxes

MSCC has elected and intends to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and, among other things, intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, MSCC is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, MSCC may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income. Any such carryover taxable income must be distributed through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such taxable income.

The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain core portfolio investments of Main Street. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, and the core portfolio investments held by them are included in Main Street’s consolidated financial statements. The Taxable Subsidiaries permit Main Street to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes in order to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with Main Street for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, as a result of their ownership of certain core portfolio investments. This income tax expense, or benefit, is reflected in Main Street’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Taxable Subsidiaries use the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. Taxable income generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

7.Net Realized Gains or Losses from Investments and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation from Investments

Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment and the cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written-off during the period net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation from investments reflects the net change in the valuation of the investment portfolio and financial instruments pursuant to Main Street’s valuation guidelines and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation on exited investments.

8.Concentration of Credit Risks

Main Street places its cash in financial institutions, and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the federally insured limit.

22

9.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Main Street believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the fair values of such items. Marketable securities and idle funds investments generally include investments in certificates of deposit, U.S. government agency securities, intermediate-term secured debt, independently rated debt investments, and diversified bond funds. The fair value determination for these investments under the provisions of ASC 820 primarily consists of Level 2 observable inputs.

The SBIC debentures remain a strategic advantage due to their flexible structure, long-term duration, and low fixed interest rates. As part of the Exchange Offer Transactions, Main Street elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value, for those SBIC debentures acquired (the “Acquired Debentures”).  The fair value option was elected for the Acquired Debentures as part of the acquisition accounting related to the Exchange Offer.  In order to provide for a more consistent basis of presentation, Main Street has elected and will continue to elect the fair value option for SBIC debentures issued subsequent to the Exchange Offer.

10.Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted per share calculations are computed utilizing the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.  Main Street adopted the amended guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Based on the guidance, Main Street determined that unvested shares of restricted stock are participating securities and should therefore be included in the basic earnings per share calculation. As a result, for all periods presented, there is no difference between diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share amounts.

As a result of the Exchange Offer Transactions, the net earnings attributable to the remaining externally owned noncontrolling interest in MSC II are excluded from all per share amounts presented and the per share amounts only reflect the net earnings attributable to Main Street’s ownership interest in MSC II.

11.Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, FASB issued ASC 810, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“ASC 810”), which amends the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  It requires reporting entities to evaluate former qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”) for consolidation, changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It also clarifies, but does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE. ASC 810 requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public and non-public companies. ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods.  Main Street adopted ASC 810 on January 1, 2010.  The FASB agreed at its January 27, 2010 meeting to issue an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to finalize its proposal to indefinitely defer ASC 810 for reporting enterprises’ interests in entities that either have all of the characteristics of investment companies or for which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes consistent with those that apply to investment companies. The provisions of ASC 810 will not have any impact on Main Street’s financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a significant impact on Main Street’s financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC 805, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, replacing the previous cost-allocation process. ASC 805 also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on

23

or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Main Street adopted ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. Main Street accounted for the Exchange Offer under ASC 805 with the impact on the financial statements discussed in Note I.

NOTE C — FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY FOR INVESTMENTS AND SBIC DEBENTURES AT FAIR VALUE

In connection with valuing investments, Main Street adopted the provisions of ASC 820 in the first quarter of 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Main Street accounts for its investments at fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with ASC 820, Main Street has categorized its investments based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Investments recorded on Main Street’s balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 — Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that Main Street has the ability to access (examples include investments in active exchange-traded equity securities and investments in most U.S. government and agency securities).

Level 2 — Investments whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investment. Level 2 inputs include the following:

·Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets (for example, investments in restricted stock);

·Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (for example, investments in thinly traded public companies);

·Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the investment (for example, market interest rate indices); and

·Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the investment.

Level 3 — Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment (for example, investments in illiquid securities issued by private companies).

As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such investments categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). Main Street conducts reviews of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain investments.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all of Main Street’s private placement portfolio investments, marketable securities and idle funds investments consisted primarily of investments in secured debt investments, independently rated debt investments, certificates of deposit, and diversified bond funds. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of observable inputs in non-active markets. As a result, all of Main Street’s private placement portfolio investments, marketable securities and idle funds investments were categorized as Level 2 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

24

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all of Main Street’s core portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of Main Street’s core portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3. The fair value determination of each portfolio investment required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:

·Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers;

·Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company;

·Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;

·Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment;

·Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, and net debt/EBITDA ratio) applicable to the investment;

·Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio);

·Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;

·Projected operating results of the portfolio company;

·Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment;

·Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed;

·Changes in the economic environment which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;

·Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company;

·Qualitative assessment of key management;

·Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment; and

·Other factors deemed relevant.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of Main Street’s Level 3 portfolio investments for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no transfers within the three fair value hierarchy levels.

Core Portfolio Investments

Main Street’s core portfolio investments principally consist of secured debt, equity warrants and direct equity investments in privately held companies. The core debt investments are secured by either a first or second lien on the assets of the portfolio company, generally bear interest at fixed rates, and generally mature between five and seven years from the original investment. In most core portfolio companies, Main Street also receives nominally priced equity warrants and/or makes direct equity investments, usually in connection with a debt investment.

As discussed further in Note D, the Investment Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCC. However, the Investment Manager is accounted for as a portfolio investment of Main Street since it conducts a significant portion of its investment management activities for parties outside of MSCC and its subsidiaries. To allow for more relevant disclosure of Main Street’s core investment portfolio, Main Street’s investment in the Investment Manager has been excluded from the tables and amounts set forth below in this Note C.

Investment income, consisting of interest, dividends and fees, can fluctuate dramatically due to various factors, including repayment of a debt investment or sale of an equity interest. Revenue recognition in any given year could be highly concentrated among several core portfolio companies. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Main Street did not record investment income from any core portfolio company in excess of 10% of total investment income. For the six months ended

26

June 30, 2009, Main Street recorded investment income from one core portfolio company in excess of 10% of total investment income. The investment income from that core portfolio company represented approximately 11% of the total investment income for the period, principally related to interest income from debt investments in such company.

As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had debt and equity investments in 41 core portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of $252,690,033 and a weighted average effective yield on its debt investments of approximately 14.7%. Approximately 78% of Main Street’s total core portfolio investments at cost were in the form of debt investments and 86% of such debt investments at cost were secured by first priority liens on the assets of Main Street’s portfolio companies as of June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, Main Street had equity ownership in approximately 90% of its core portfolio companies and the average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was approximately 35%. As of December 31, 2009, Main Street had debt and equity investments in 35 core portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of $125,885,223 and a weighted average effective yield on its debt investments of approximately 14.3%. The weighted average yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding any debt investments on non-accrual status.

Summaries of the composition of Main Street’s core investment portfolio at cost and fair value as a percentage of total core portfolio investments are shown in the following table:

At June 30, 2010, Main Street had no investments that were greater than 10% of its total core investment portfolio at fair value.  At December 31, 2009, Main Street had one investment that was greater than 10% of its total core investment portfolio at fair value. That investment represented approximately 12% of the core portfolio at fair value.

NOTE D — WHOLLY OWNED INVESTMENT MANAGER

As part of the Formation Transactions, the Investment Manager became a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCC. However, the Investment Manager is accounted for as a portfolio investment, since the Investment Manager is not an investment company and since it conducts a significant portion of its investment management activities for parties outside of MSCC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Investment Manager receives recurring investment management fees from MSC II pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement, paid quarterly, equal to $3.3 million per year.  Subsequent to the closing of the Exchange Offer, the investment in the Investment Manager was reduced to reflect the pro rata portion of the MSC II management fees acquired by MSCC.  The Investment Manager also receives certain management, consulting and advisory fees for providing these services for third parties, and collectively with the MSC II management fees attributable to the remaining noncontrolling interest in MSC II, the “External Services.”  The portfolio investment in the Investment Manager is accounted for using fair value accounting, with the fair value determined by Main Street and approved, in good faith, by Main Street’s Board of Directors, based on the same valuation methodologies applied to determine the original valuation. The valuation for the Investment Manager is based on the total estimated present value of the net cash flows received for the External Services, over the estimated dollar averaged life of the related investment management, advisory or consulting contract, and is also based on comparable public market transactions. The net cash flows utilized in the valuation of the Investment Manager exclude any revenues and expenses from MSCC and its subsidiaries, but include the revenues attributable to External Services, and are reduced by an estimated allocation of costs related to providing such External Services. Any change in fair value of the investment in the Investment Manager is recognized on Main Street’s statement of operations as “Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in Investment in affiliated Investment Manager,” with a corresponding increase (in the case of appreciation) or decrease (in the case of depreciation) to “Investment in affiliated Investment Manager” on Main Street’s balance sheet. As part of the Exchange Offer Transactions, the investment in the Investment Manager was reduced $13.7 million and recorded against “Additional paid-in capital” as an adjustment to the original valuation recorded as part of the Formation Transactions.  Main Street believes that the valuation for the Investment Manager will generally decrease over the life of the investment management, advisory and consulting contracts attributable to third parties, absent obtaining additional recurring cash flows from performing External Services for other external investment entities or other third parties.

29

The Investment Manager has elected, for tax purposes, to be treated as a taxable entity and is taxed at normal corporate tax rates based on its taxable income. The taxable income of the Investment Manager may differ from its book income due to temporary book and tax timing differences, as well as permanent differences. The Investment Manager provides for any current taxes payable and deferred tax items in its separate financial statements.

MSCC has a support services agreement with the Investment Manager that is structured to provide reimbursement to the Investment Manager for any personnel, administrative and other costs it incurs in conducting its operational and investment management activities in excess of the fees received for providing management advisory services. As a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCC, the Investment Manager manages the day-to-day operational and investment activities of MSCC and its subsidiaries, as well as performing the External Services. The Investment Manager pays personnel and other administrative expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by MSCC which principally include direct costs that are specific to MSCC’s status as a publicly traded entity. The expenses paid by the Investment Manager include the cost of salaries and related benefits, rent, equipment and other administrative costs required for day-to-day operations.  Each quarter, as part of the support services agreement, MSCC makes payments to cover all cash expenses incurred by the Investment Manager, less fees that the Investment Manager receives pursuant to long-term investment advisory agreements and consulting agreements.  Subsequent to the consolidation of MSC II in connection with the Exchange Offer, the management fees paid by MSC II to the Investment Manager are now included in “Expenses reimbursed to affiliated Investment Manager” on the Statement of Operations along with any additional net costs reimbursed by MSCC to the Investment Manager pursuant to the support services agreement.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the expenses reimbursed by MSCC and management fees paid by MSC II to the Investment Manager totaled $2,482,798.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the expenses reimbursed by MSCC to the Investment Manager were $79,938.

In its separate stand alone financial statements as summarized below, the Investment Manager recognized an $18 million intangible asset related to the investment advisory agreement with MSC II consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54, Application of “Pushdown” Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries Acquired by Purchase (“SAB 54”). Under SAB 54, push-down accounting is required in “purchase transactions that result in an entity becoming substantially wholly owned.” In this case, MSCC acquired 100% of the equity interests in the Investment Manager. Because the $18 million value attributed to MSCC’s investment in the Investment Manager was derived from the long-term, recurring management fees under the investment advisory agreement with MSC II, the same methodology used to determine the $18 million valuation of the Investment Manager was utilized to establish the push-down accounting basis for the intangible asset. The intangible asset is being amortized over the estimated economic life of the investment advisory agreement with MSC II.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Investment Manager recognized $530,786 and $506,263 in amortization expense associated with the intangible asset. Amortization expense is not included in the expenses reimbursed by MSCC to the Investment Manager based upon the support services agreement since it is non-cash in nature.

NOTE E — SBIC DEBENTURES

SBIC debentures payable at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $145 million and $65 million, respectively. SBIC debentures provide for interest to be paid semi-annually, with principal due at the applicable 10-year maturity date. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 5.51% and 5.04%, respectively. The first principal maturity due under the existing SBIC debentures is in 2013, and the weighted average duration is approximately 6.9 years.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Main Street recognized $3.9 million in interest expense attributable to the SBIC debentures.  In accordance with SBA regulations, the Funds are precluded from incurring additional non-SBIC debt without the prior approval of the SBA. The Funds are subject to annual compliance examinations by the SBA. There have been no historical findings resulting from these examinations.

As of June 30, 2010, the recorded value of the SBIC debentures was $126.1 million which consisted of (i) the SBIC Debentures recorded at a fair value of approximately $61.1 million, or $18.9 million less than the face value of these SBIC debentures, and (ii) SBIC debentures held prior to the Exchange Offer and reported at face value of $65 million.  As of June 30, 2010, had Main Street adopted the fair value option under ASC 825 for all of its SBIC debentures, Main Street estimates the fair value of its SBIC debentures would be approximately $116.3 million, or $28.7 million less than the face value of the SBIC debentures.

NOTE F — INVESTMENT CREDIT FACILITY

On October 24, 2008, Main Street entered into a $30 million, three-year investment credit facility (the “Investment Facility”) with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) and Compass Bank, as lenders, and BB&T, as administrative agent for the lenders. The purpose of the Investment Facility is to provide additional liquidity in support of future investment and operational activities. The Investment Facility allows for an increase in the total size of the facility up to $75 million, subject to certain conditions, and has a maturity date of October 24, 2011. Borrowings under the Investment Facility bear interest, subject to Main Street’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.75% or (ii) the applicable base rate plus 0.75%. Main Street pays unused commitment fees of 0.375% per annum on the average unused lender commitments under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility is secured by a first lien on the assets of MSCC and its subsidiaries, excluding the assets of the Funds. The Investment Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to: (i) maintaining a minimum liquidity of not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, (ii) maintaining an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0, and (iii) maintaining a minimum tangible net worth. At June 30, 2010, Main Street had $12.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the Investment Facility and recognized $175,820 in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the Investment Facility.  As of June 30, 2010, Main Street was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Investment Facility.

NOTE H — DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXABLE INCOME

Main Street paid monthly dividends of $0.125 per share for each month of January 2010 through June 2010, totaling $10.8 million, or $0.75 per share, for the period.  During June 2010, Main Street declared and accrued a $0.125 per share monthly dividend to be paid in July 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Main Street paid total monthly dividends of approximately $6.8 million, or $0.75 per share, for the period.

The determination of the tax attributes for Main Street’s distributions is made annually, based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year.  Ordinary dividend distributions from a RIC do not qualify for the 15% maximum tax rate on dividend income from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations, except to the extent that the RIC received the income in the form of qualifying dividends from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations (which Main Street did not receive during the year-to-date period of 2010).  The tax attributes for dividends will generally include both ordinary income and capital gains but may also include qualified dividend or return of capital.

MSCC has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC. As a RIC, MSCC generally will not pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that MSCC distributes to its stockholders as

32

dividends. MSCC must generally distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income to qualify for pass-through tax treatment and maintain its RIC status. As part of maintaining RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given fiscal year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that fiscal year, provided such dividends are declared prior to the filing of the federal income tax return for the prior year.

The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain core portfolio investments for Main Street. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated with Main Street for financial reporting purposes, and the core portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries are included in Main Street’s consolidated financial statements. The principal purpose of the Taxable Subsidiaries are to permit Main Street to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes in order to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions of the Code. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with Main Street for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or income tax benefit as a result of their ownership of various core portfolio investments. This income tax expense or benefit, if any, is reflected in Main Street’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Main Street recognized an income tax provision of $0.4 million primarily consisting of deferred tax benefits related to net unrealized depreciation on certain portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries.

Listed below is a reconciliation of “Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting From Operations” to taxable income and to total distributions declared to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Total distributions to common stockholders	$	12,681,390		$	7,016,926

The net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and primarily related to timing differences from recognition of unrealized and realized depreciation from debt and equity investments in portfolio investments as well as timing differences from taxable income from equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes. Management believes that the realization of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not based on expectations as to future taxable income and scheduled reversals of temporary differences. Accordingly, Main Street did not record a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010.

NOTE I — EXCHANGE OFFER

On January 7, 2010, MSCC consummated the Exchange Offer to exchange 1,239,695 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of its common stock for approximately 88% of the total dollar value of the limited partner interests in MSC II. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer, 100% of the membership interests in MSC II GP were also transferred to MSCC for no consideration.  MSC II commenced operations in January 2006, is an investment fund that operates as an SBIC and is managed by the Investment Manager. The Exchange Offer was applicable to all MSC II limited partner interests except for any limited partner interests owned by affiliates of MSCC, including any limited partner interests owned by officers or directors of MSCC. The Exchange Offer was formally approved by the SBA prior to closing. The Exchange Shares are subject to a one-year contractual lock-up from the Exchange Offer closing date. An approximately 12% minority ownership in the total dollar value of the MSC II limited partnership interests remains outstanding, including approximately 5% owned by affiliates of MSCC.

33

The Exchange Offer was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. Accordingly, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the Exchange Offer acquisition date as summarized in the following table. The fair value of the MSC II net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the stock consideration issued, resulting in a bargain purchase gain that was recorded by Main Street in the period that the Exchange Offer was completed.

Value of the stock consideration issued for limited partner interests acquired	$	19,934,296	(1)
Fair value of noncontrolling limited partner interests	3,396,005		(2)
Total stock consideration and noncontrolling interest value	23,330,301
Fair value of MSC II assets and liabilities on January 7, 2010:
Cash	2,489,920
Debt investments acquired at fair value	64,925,164
Equity investments acquired at fair value	14,930,614
Other assets	808,560
SBIC debentures at fair value	(53,139,092		)
Deferred tax liability assumed	(82,827		)
Other liabilities	(1,519,608		)
Total fair value of MSC II net assets	28,412,731
Bargain purchase gain	5,082,430
Transaction costs associated with the Exchange Offer	(191,848		)
Bargain purchase gain, net of transaction costs	$	4,890,582

(1)The value of the shares of common stock exchanged for a majority of MSC II limited partner interests was based upon the closing price of Main Street’s common stock at January 7, 2010, the closing date of the Exchange Offer.

(2)The fair value of the noncontrolling limited partner interests was based on the noncontrolling interests’ share in the total fair value of MSC II net assets at January 7, 2010.

Consummation of the Exchange Offer Transactions provides Main Street with access to additional long-term, low-cost leverage capacity through the SBIC program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 enacted in February 2009 (the “Stimulus Bill”) increased the maximum amount of combined SBIC leverage (or SBIC leverage cap) to $225 million for affiliated SBIC funds from the previous SBIC leverage cap of approximately $137 million. Since the increase in the SBIC leverage cap applies to affiliated SBIC funds, Main Street is required to allocate such increased borrowing capacity between MSMF and MSC II.  Main Street currently has access to an incremental $80 million in SBIC leverage capacity, subject to the required capitalization of each of the Funds, in addition to the $145 million of existing SBIC leverage at the Funds.

Supplemental pro forma information

The following represents actual operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and pro forma operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The pro forma operating results assume the Exchange Offer Transactions had been completed as of the beginning of the 2009 calendar year:

NOTE J — COMMON STOCK

In January 2010, Main Street completed a public stock offering of 2,875,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $14.75 per share, resulting in total net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million, after deducting underwriters’ commissions and offering costs.

On November 13, 2008, Main Street announced that its Board of Directors authorized its officers, in their discretion and subject to compliance with the 1940 Act and other applicable laws, to purchase on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, an amount up to $5 million of the outstanding shares of Main Street’s common stock at prices per share not to exceed Main Street’s last reported net asset value per share. The repurchase program terminated as of December 31, 2009. From January through June of 2009, Main Street purchased 164,544 shares in connection with the repurchase program at a weighted average cost of $9.82 per share.

NOTE K — DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (“DRIP”)

Main Street’s DRIP provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result, if Main Street declares a cash dividend, the company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their cash dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of MSCC common stock. Main Street has the option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of MSCC’s common stock on the valuation date determined for each dividend by Main Street’s Board of Directors. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs. Main Street’s DRIP is administered by its transfer agent on behalf of Main Street’s record holders and participating brokerage firms. Brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries may decide not to participate in Main Street’s DRIP but may provide a similar dividend reinvestment plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $3.8 million of the total $10.8 million in dividends paid to stockholders represented DRIP participation. During this period, Main Street satisfied the DRIP participation requirements with the issuance of 248,803 newly issued shares and with the purchase of 2,199 shares of common stock in the open market. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, $2.7 million of the total $6.8 million in dividends paid to stockholders represented DRIP participation. Main Street satisfied the DRIP participation requirements with the issuance of 79,193 newly issued shares and with the purchase of 169,742 shares of common stock in the open market. The shares disclosed above relate only to Main Street’s DRIP and exclude any activity related to broker-managed dividend reinvestment plans.

NOTE L — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Main Street accounts for its share-based compensation plans using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, Main Street measured the grant date fair

35

value based upon the market price of its common stock on the date of the grant and will amortize this fair value to share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period or vesting term.

On July 1, 2009, Main Street’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 99,312 shares of restricted stock to Main Street employees pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares will vest over a four-year period from the grant date and will be expensed over the four-year service period starting on the grant date. On July 1, 2008, Main Street’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 245,645 shares of restricted stock to Main Street employees pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares are vesting over a four-year period from the grant date and are being expensed over the four-year service period starting on the grant date.  As of June 30, 2010, there were 1,655,043 shares of restricted stock available for issuance to employees under the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

On July 1, 2009, a total of 8,512 shares of restricted stock was issued to Main Street’s independent directors pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. These shares vested on the day immediately preceding Main Street’s June 2010 annual meeting of stockholders and were expensed over a one-year service period starting on the grant date. On July 1, 2008, a total of 20,000 shares of restricted stock was issued to Main Street’s independent directors pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. One-half of those shares vested immediately on the grant date, and the remaining half vested on the day immediately preceding the June 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.  As of June 30, 2010, there were 171,488 shares of restricted stock available for issuance to non-employee directors under the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Main Street recognized total share-based compensation expense of $602,916 and $391,452, respectively, related to the restricted stock issued to Main Street employees and Main Street’s independent directors.

As of June 30, 2010, there was $2,520,795 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to Main Street’s non-vested restricted shares. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

NOTE P — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 1, 2010, Main Street’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 149,357 shares of restricted stock to Main Street employees pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares will vest over a four-year period from the grant date and will be expensed over a four-year service period starting on the grant date.

On July 1, 2010, a total of 7,920 shares of restricted stock was issued to Main Street’s independent directors pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. These shares will vest on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting at which Main Street stockholders elect directors, provided that these independent directors have been in continuous service as members of the Board through such date. As a result, these shares will be expensed over a one-year service period starting on the grant date.

On July 8, 2010, Main Street exited its debt and equity investment in Advantage Millwork Company, Inc., one of the portfolio companies on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2010, at a price equal to the portfolio company’s fair value at June 30, 2010.  For the third quarter of 2010, Main Street will recognize a realized loss of approximately $1.9 million on the exit of this investment.

On July 30, 2010, Main Street exited its largest private placement debt investment in Apria Healthcare Group, Inc., at a price exceeding the portfolio company’s fair value at June 30, 2010.  Therefore, Main Street will recognize a $0.5 million realized gain in the third quarter of 2010 related to the exit of this investment.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010, for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

ORGANIZATION

Main Street Capital Corporation (“MSCC”) was formed on March 9, 2007 for the purpose of (i) acquiring 100% of the equity interests of Main Street Mezzanine Fund, LP (“MSMF”) and its general partner, Main Street Mezzanine Management, LLC (“MSMF GP”), (ii) acquiring 100% of the equity interests of Main Street Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), (iii) raising capital in an initial public offering, which was completed in October 2007 (the “IPO”), and (iv) thereafter operating as an internally managed business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). MSMF is licensed as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the Investment Manager acts as MSMF’s manager and investment adviser. Because the Investment Manager, which employs all of the executive officers and other employees of MSCC, is wholly owned by us, we do not pay any external investment advisory fees, but instead we incur the net operating costs associated with employing investment and portfolio management professionals through the Investment Manager. The IPO and related transactions discussed above were consummated in October 2007 and are collectively termed the “Formation Transactions.”

On January 7, 2010, MSCC consummated transactions (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange 1,239,695 shares of its common stock for approximately 88% of the total dollar value of the limited partner interests in Main Street Capital II, LP (“MSC II” and, together with MSMF, the “Funds”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer, 100% of the membership interests in the general partner of MSC II, Main Street Capital II GP, LLC (“MSC II GP”), were also transferred to MSCC for no consideration. MSC II commenced operations in January 2006, is an investment fund that operates as an SBIC and is also managed by the Investment Manager. The Exchange Offer and related transactions, including the transfer of the MSC II GP interests, are collectively termed the “Exchange Offer Transactions” (see Note I to the consolidated financial statements).  As of June 30, 2010, an approximately 12% minority ownership in the total dollar value of the MSC II limited partnership interests remains outstanding, including approximately 5% owned by affiliates of MSCC.

MSCC has direct or indirect subsidiaries that have elected to be taxable entities (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”).  The primary purpose of these entities is to hold certain investments that generate “pass through” income for tax purposes.  The Taxable Subsidiaries are each taxed at their normal corporate tax rates based on their taxable income.

Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Main Street” refer to MSCC and its subsidiaries, including MSMF, MSC II, and the Taxable Subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

We are a principal investment firm primarily focused on providing customized debt and equity financing to lower middle market companies, which we generally define as companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $100 million that operate in diverse industries. We invest primarily in secured debt instruments, equity investments, warrants and other securities of lower middle market companies based in the United States. Our principal investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return by generating current income from our debt investments and capital appreciation from our equity and equity-related investments, including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities in a portfolio company. Our core portfolio investments generally range in size from $3 million to $20 million.

Our investments are generally made through MSCC and the Funds.  MSCC and the Funds share the same investment strategies and criteria, although they are subject to different regulatory regimes. An investor’s return in MSCC will depend, in part, on the Funds’ investment returns as MSMF is a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCC and MSC II is a majority owned subsidiary of MSCC.

38

We seek to fill the current financing gap for lower middle market businesses, which, historically, have had more limited access to financing from commercial banks and other traditional sources. Given the current credit environment, we believe the limited access to financing for lower middle market companies is even more pronounced. The underserved nature of the lower middle market creates the opportunity for us to meet the financing needs of lower middle market companies while also negotiating favorable transaction terms and equity participations. Our ability to invest across a company’s capital structure, from senior secured loans to equity securities, allows us to offer portfolio companies a comprehensive suite of financing solutions, or “one stop” financing. Providing customized, “one stop” financing solutions has become even more relevant to our portfolio companies in the current credit environment. We generally seek to partner directly with entrepreneurs, management teams and business owners in making our investments. Main Street believes that its core investment strategy has a lower correlation to the broader debt and equity markets.

In addition to our core investment strategy of investing in lower middle market companies, we opportunistically pursue investments in privately placed debt securities. This private placement investment portfolio primarily consists of direct or secondary private placements of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in our core portfolio.  At June 30, 2010, we had privately placed portfolio investments in 10 companies collectively totaling approximately $52.8 million in fair value with a total cost basis of approximately $52.4 million. The median revenues for the 10 privately placed portfolio company investments was approximately $239 million.  All of our total privately placed portfolio investments at cost were in the form of secured debt investments and 83% of such debt investments at cost were secured by first priority liens on portfolio company assets.  The weighted average effective yield on our privately placed portfolio debt investments was approximately 13.5% as of June 30, 2010.

The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon our view of the current economic fundamentals, our ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria, and our ability to consummate identified opportunities. The level of new investment activity, and associated interest and fee income, will directly impact future investment income. In addition, the level of dividends paid by portfolio companies and the portion of our portfolio debt investments on non-accrual status will directly impact future investment income. While we intend to grow our portfolio and our investment income over the long-term, our growth and our operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, we intend to appropriately manage our cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and our investment outlook. The level of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity and the performance of our individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation could have a material impact on our operating results.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid dividends on a monthly basis totaling $0.75 per share, or $10.8 million.  In June 2010, we declared monthly dividends for the third quarter of 2010 totaling $0.375 per share.  During 2009, we paid monthly dividends of $0.125 per share, or $1.50 per share for the entire year.  We generated undistributed taxable income (or “spillover income”) of approximately $0.8 million, or $0.08 per share, during 2009 that was carried forward toward distributions paid in 2010.  Including the dividends declared for the third quarter of 2010, we will have paid approximately $4.38 per share in cumulative dividends since our October 2007 initial public offering.

At June 30, 2010, we had $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and idle funds investments. In January 2010, we completed a follow-on public stock offering in which we sold 2,875,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $14.75 per share (or approximately 121% of the latest reported Net Asset Value per share), resulting in total net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million, after deducting underwriters’ commissions and offering costs. Due to our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and idle funds investments, and available leverage, we expect to have sufficient cash resources to support our investment and operational activities through the remainder of calendar year 2010. However, this projection will be impacted by, among other things, the pace of new and follow-on investments, debt repayments and investment redemptions, the level of cash flow from operations and cash flow from realized gains, proceeds from future equity offerings, and the level of dividends we pay in cash.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 enacted in February 2009 (the “Stimulus Bill”) contains several provisions applicable to SBIC funds, including the Funds. One of the key SBIC-related provisions included in the Stimulus Bill increased the maximum amount of combined SBIC leverage (or SBIC leverage cap) to $225 million for affiliated SBIC funds. The prior maximum amount of SBIC leverage available to affiliated SBIC funds was approximately $137 million. Since the increase in the SBIC leverage cap applies to affiliated SBIC funds, Main Street is required to allocate such increased borrowing capacity between the Funds. Main Street has access to an incremental $80 million in SBIC leverage capacity, subject to the required capitalization of each of the Funds, in addition to the $145 million of existing SBIC leverage at the Funds.

39

A recently proposed bill, the Small Business Financing and Investment Act of 2009, or HR 3854, would increase the total SBIC leverage capacity for affiliated SBIC funds from $225 million to $350 million. If enacted, this bill would increase Main Street’s SBIC leverage capacity through the Funds by an additional $125 million.  While Main Street is positioned to benefit from the full congressional passage of HR 3854, the ultimate form and likely outcome of such legislation or any similar legislation cannot be predicted.

In our view, the SBIC leverage, including the increased capacity, remains a strategic advantage due to its long-term, flexible structure and its low fixed cost. The SBIC leverage also provides proper matching of duration and cost compared with our core portfolio investments. As of June 30, 2010, the weighted average duration of our core portfolio debt investments was approximately 3.3 years compared to a weighted average duration of 6.9 years for our SBIC leverage. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 94% of core portfolio debt investments bear interest at fixed rates which is also appropriately matched by the long-term, low cost fixed rates available through our SBIC leverage.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSCC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including MSMF and MSC II. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSCC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including MSMF.  To allow for more relevant disclosure of our “core” investment portfolio, “core” portfolio investments, as used herein, refers to all of our portfolio investments in lower middle market companies, excluding the Investment Manager.  Private placement portfolio investments include investments made through direct or secondary private placements of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in our core portfolio.  “Marketable securities and idle funds investments” are classified as financial instruments and are reported separately on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Schedule of Investments due to the nature of such investments. Our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and financial position as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are presented on a consolidated basis. The effects of all intercompany transactions between Main Street and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform with the current financial statement presentation, including the reclassification of private placement portfolio investments which were formerly classified as “Marketable securities and idle funds investments” and are now classified as portfolio investments in the “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments” category due to our current intent to hold such investments until their maturity and the fact that their terms adhere more to our portfolio investment strategy.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Main Street are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods included herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Also, the unaudited financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA Guide”), we are precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to this general principle in the AICPA Guide occurs if we own a controlled operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to us, or

40

to an investment company of ours. None of the investments made by us qualify for this exception. Therefore, our portfolio investments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, as discussed further in Note B to our consolidated financial statements, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) from Investments” on our Statement of Operations until the investment is exited, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a “Net Realized Gain (Loss) from Investments.”

Portfolio Investment Valuation

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the valuation of our portfolio investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately 92% and 80%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments in portfolio companies valued at fair value (including the investment in the Investment Manager). We are required to report our investments at fair value. We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures in the first quarter of 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

Our core portfolio strategy calls for us to invest primarily in illiquid securities issued by private companies. These core portfolio investments may be subject to restrictions on resale and will generally have no established trading market. As a result, we determine in good faith the fair value of our portfolio investments pursuant to a valuation policy in accordance with ASC 820 and a valuation process approved by our Board of Directors and in accordance with the 1940 Act. We review external events, including private mergers, sales and acquisitions involving comparable companies, and include these events in the valuation process. Our valuation policy and process are intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of the portfolio.

For valuation purposes, control investments are composed of equity and debt securities for which we have a controlling interest in the portfolio company or have the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  Market quotations are generally not readily available for our control investments. As a result, we determine the fair value of control investments using a combination of market and income approaches. Under the market approach, we will typically use the enterprise value methodology to determine the fair value of these investments. The enterprise value is the fair value at which an enterprise could be sold in a transaction between two willing parties, other than through a forced or liquidation sale. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value. There is no single methodology for estimating enterprise value. For any one portfolio company, enterprise value is generally described as a range of values from which a single estimate of enterprise value is derived. In estimating the enterprise value of a portfolio company, we analyze various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results. We allocate the enterprise value to investments in order of the legal priority of the investments. We will also use the income approach to determine the fair value of these securities, based on projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the portfolio company or the debt security will likely generate. The valuation approaches for our control investments estimate the value of the investment if we were to sell, or exit, the investment, assuming the highest and best use of the investment by market participants. In addition, these valuation approaches consider the value associated with our ability to control the capital structure of the portfolio company, as well as the timing of a potential exit.

For valuation purposes, non-control core portfolio investments are composed of debt and equity securities for which we do not have a controlling interest in the portfolio company, or the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  Market quotations for non-control investments are generally not readily available. For our non-control core portfolio investments, we use a combination of the market and income approaches to value our equity investments and the income approach to value our debt instruments. For non-control debt investments, we determine the fair value primarily using a yield approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the financial position and credit risk of each of these portfolio investments. Our estimate of the expected repayment date of a debt security is generally the legal maturity date of the instrument, as we generally intend to hold our loans to maturity. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance and other factors. We will use the value determined by the yield analysis as the fair value for that security; however, because of our general intent to hold our loans to maturity, the fair value will not exceed the face amount of the debt security. A change in the assumptions that we use to estimate the fair value of our debt securities using the yield analysis could have a material impact on the determination of fair value. If there is deterioration in credit quality or a debt security is in workout status, we may consider other factors in determining the fair value of a debt security, including the value attributable to the debt security from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

41

Our private placement portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in our core portfolio.  For valuation purposes, all of our private placement portfolio investments are non-control investments and are composed of debt securities for which we do not have a controlling interest in the portfolio company, or the ability to nominate a majority of the portfolio company’s board of directors.  We primarily use observable inputs to determine the fair value of these investments through obtaining third party quotes or independent pricing.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, our estimate of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned. We estimate the fair value of each individual investment and record changes in fair value as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Revenue Recognition

Interest and Dividend Income

We record interest and dividend income on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded as dividends are declared or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. In accordance with our valuation policy, we evaluate accrued interest and dividend income periodically for collectability. When a loan or debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, and if we otherwise do not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, we will generally place the loan or debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan or debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If a loan or debt security’s status significantly improves regarding ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a loan or debt security is fully impaired, sold or written off, we will remove it from non-accrual status.

Fee Income

We may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to our portfolio companies. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

Payment-in-Kind (“PIK”) Interest

While not significant to its total portfolio, we hold debt and preferred equity instruments in our investment portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and cumulative dividend provisions.  The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.  Cumulative dividends are recorded as dividend income, and any dividends in arrears are added to the balance of the preferred equity investment.  The actual collection of dividends in arrears may be deferred until such time as the preferred equity is redeemed.  To maintain regulated investment company (“RIC”) tax treatment (as discussed below), these non-cash sources of income will need to be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though we may not have collected the PIK interest and cumulative dividends in cash.  We will stop accruing PIK interest and cumulative dividends and will write off any accrued and uncollected interest and dividends in arrears when it is determined that such PIK interest and dividends in arrears are no longer collectible.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for our share-based compensation plans using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, we measured the grant date fair value based upon the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and will amortize this fair value to share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period or vesting term.

42

Income Taxes

MSCC has elected and intends to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and, among other things, intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, MSCC is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, MSCC may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income. Any such carryover taxable income must be distributed through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such taxable income.

The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain core portfolio investments of Main Street. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, and the core portfolio investments held by them are included in Main Street’s consolidated financial statements. The Taxable Subsidiaries permit Main Street to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes in order to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with Main Street for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense as a result of their ownership of certain core portfolio investments. This income tax expense, or benefit, is reflected in Main Street’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Taxable Subsidiaries use the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. Taxable income generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

CORE PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION

Core portfolio investments principally consist of secured debt, equity warrants and direct equity investments in privately held companies. The core debt investments are secured by either a first or second lien on the assets of the portfolio company, generally bear interest at fixed rates, and generally mature between five and seven years from the original investment. In most core portfolio companies, we also receive nominally priced equity warrants and/or make direct equity investments, usually in connection with a debt investment.

The Investment Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCC. However, the Investment Manager is accounted for as a portfolio investment of Main Street, since it conducts a significant portion of its investment management activities outside of MSCC and its subsidiaries. To allow for more relevant disclosure of our core investment portfolio, our investment in the Investment Manager has been excluded from the tables and amounts set forth below.

Summaries of the composition of our core investment portfolio at cost and fair value as a percentage of total core portfolio investments are shown in the following table:

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY

We utilize an internally developed investment rating system to rate the performance of each portfolio company. Investment Rating 1 represents a portfolio company that is performing in a manner which significantly exceeds expectations and projections. Investment Rating 2 represents a portfolio company that, in general, is performing above expectations. Investment Rating 3 represents a portfolio company that is generally performing in accordance with expectations. Investment Rating 4 represents a portfolio company that is underperforming expectations. Investments with such a rating require increased monitoring and scrutiny by us. Investment Rating 5 represents a portfolio company that is significantly underperforming. Investments with such a rating require heightened levels of monitoring and scrutiny by us and involve the recognition of significant unrealized depreciation on such investment. All new portfolio investments receive an initial 3 rating.

The following table shows the distribution of our portfolio investments (excluding the investment in the Investment Manager) on our 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	June 30, 2010				December 31, 2009
Investment	Investments at		Percentage of		Investments at		Percentage of
Rating	Fair Value		Total Portfolio		Fair Value		Total Portfolio
	(Unaudited)

Totals	$	305,454	100.0	%	$	140,703	100.0	%

Based upon our investment rating system, the weighted average rating of our portfolio as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was approximately 2.4.  As of June 30, 2010, we had three investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 3.7% of the investment portfolio at fair value.  On July 8, 2010, we exited our debt and equity investment in Advantage Millwork Company, Inc., one of the portfolio companies on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2010, at a price equal to the portfolio company’s fair value at June 30, 2010.  At December 31, 2009, we had three investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.1% of the investment portfolio at fair value.

The broader fundamentals of the United States economy remain mixed, and unemployment remains elevated. In the event that the United States economy contracts, it is likely that the financial results of small- to mid-sized companies, like those in which we invest, could experience deterioration or limited growth from current levels, which could ultimately lead to difficulty in meeting their debt service requirements and an increase in defaults. In addition, the end markets for certain of our portfolio companies’ products and services have experienced negative economic trends over the last few years. Consequently, we can provide no assurance that the performance of certain portfolio companies will not be negatively impacted by these economic or other conditions, which could also have a negative impact on our future results.

(a)Distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income are net investment income and net realized income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income, and related per share amounts, are useful and appropriate supplemental disclosures for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income are non- U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as a replacement to net investment income, net realized income, and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income and net realized income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income is presented in the table above.

Investment Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, total investment income was $8.7 million, a $5.1 million, or 143%, increase over the $3.6 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This comparable period increase was principally attributable to (i) $2.5 million of total investment income from the MSC II portfolio investments acquired in the Exchange Offer, (ii) a $1.8 million increase in interest income from higher average levels of both portfolio debt investments and interest-bearing marketable securities or idle funds investments, (iii) a $0.6 million increase in fee income due to higher levels of transaction activity, and (iv) a $0.3 million increase in dividend income from portfolio equity investments.

Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, total expenses increased by approximately $2.4 million to $4.0 million from $1.6 million in the corresponding period of 2009.  This comparable period increase in expenses was principally attributable to (i) $1.9 million in interest expense and other operating expenses related to MSC II subsequent to the Exchange Offer, (ii) higher share-based compensation expense of $0.1 million related to non-cash amortization for restricted share grants, and (iii) higher personnel costs and other operating expenses compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Distributable Net Investment Income

Distributable net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 131% to $5.0 million, or $0.33 per share, compared with $2.2 million, or $0.23 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.  The increase in distributable net investment income was primarily due to higher levels of total investment income, partially offset by higher interest and other operating expenses, due to the changes discussed above.  Distributable net investment income on a per share basis for the three months ended June 30, 2010 reflects a greater number of average shares outstanding compared to the corresponding period in 2009 due to the June 2009 and January 2010 follow-on stock offerings, as well as the shares issued to consummate the Exchange Offer.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4.7 million, or a 139% increase, compared to net investment income of $2.0 million during the corresponding period of 2009. The increase in net investment income was principally attributable to the increase in total investment income partially offset by higher interest and other operating expenses as discussed above.

Distributable Net Realized Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the net realized gain from investments was $2.7 million, representing a $2.3 million increase over the net realized gain of $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The net realized gain from investments during the second quarter of 2010 was primarily attributable to (i) $2.3 million of total realized gains on the partial exits of equity investments in Laurus Healthcare, LP and Gulf Manufacturing, LLC and on the full exit of an equity investment in Pulse Systems, LLC and (ii) $0.4 million of net realized gain related to marketable securities and idle funds investments. The net realized gain during the second quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to marketable securities and idle funds investments.

Distributable net realized income increased $5.1 million, or 195%,  to $7.7 million, or $0.51 per share, in the second quarter of 2010 compared with distributable net realized income of $2.6 million, or $0.27 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009 due to the higher levels of distributable net investment income and net realized gain from investments as discussed above.

Net Realized Income

The higher levels of net investment income and net realized gain from investments during the three months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in a $5.0 million increase in net realized income compared with the corresponding period of 2009.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Attributable to Common Stock

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the $1.8 million net change in unrealized appreciation from investments was principally attributable to (i) $3.0 million in accounting reversals of net unrealized appreciation attributable to the net realized gain recognized in the second quarter of 2010 as discussed above, (ii) unrealized appreciation on eleven portfolio investments totaling $6.1 million, offset by unrealized depreciation on nine portfolio investments totaling $2.5 million, and (iii) $1.5 million in unrealized appreciation attributable to our SBIC debentures.  The noncontrolling interest of $0.3 million recognized in the second quarter of 2010 reflects the pro rata portion of MSC II net earnings attributable to the limited partnership interests in MSC II not owned by Main Street.

As a result of these events, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $8.9 million, or $0.59 per share, compared with a net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock of $3.7 million, or $0.39 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.

A reconciliation of net investment income and net realized income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income is presented in the table above.

Investment Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, total investment income was $15.8 million, an $8.6 million, or 120%, increase over the $7.2 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This comparable period increase was principally attributable to (i) $5.0 million of total investment income from the MSC II portfolio investments acquired in the Exchange Offer, (ii) a $3.0 million increase in interest income from higher average levels of both portfolio debt investments and interest-bearing marketable securities or idle funds investments, (iii) a $0.4 million increase in fee income due to higher levels of transaction activity, and (iv) a $0.3 million increase in dividend income from portfolio equity investments.

49

Expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, total expenses increased by approximately $4.8 million to $7.9 million from $3.1 million in the corresponding period of 2009.  This comparable period increase in expenses was principally attributable to (i) $3.9 million in interest expense and other operating expenses related to MSC II subsequent to the Exchange Offer, (ii) higher share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million related to non-cash amortization for restricted share grants, and (iii) higher personnel costs and other operating expenses.

Distributable Net Investment Income

Distributable net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 91% to $8.5 million, or $0.57 per share, compared with $4.5 million, or $0.48 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.  The increase in distributable net investment income was primarily due to higher levels of total investment income, partially offset by higher interest and other operating expenses, due to the changes discussed above.  Distributable net investment income on a per share basis for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reflects a greater number of average shares outstanding compared to the corresponding period in 2009 due to the June 2009 and January 2010 follow-on stock offerings, as well as the shares issued to consummate the Exchange Offer.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.9 million, or a 94% increase, compared to net investment income of $4.1 million during the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in net investment income was principally attributable to the increase in total investment income, partially offset by higher interest and other operating expenses as discussed above.

Distributable Net Realized Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the net realized loss from investments was $1.4 million, representing a $2.7 million decrease over the net realized gain of $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The net realized loss from investments for the first six months of 2010 was primarily attributable to $4.0 million of realized loss on our debt and equity investment in Quest Design and Production, LLC in the first quarter of 2010, partially offset during the second quarter of 2010 by (i) $2.3 million of realized gains on the partial exits of equity investments in Laurus Healthcare, LP and Gulf Manufacturing, LLC and on the full exit of our equity investment in Pulse Systems, LLC and (ii) $0.4 million of net realized gain related to marketable securities and idle funds investments. The net realized gain during the first six months of 2009 was primarily attributable to marketable securities and idle funds investments.

Distributable net realized income increased $1.3 million, or 23%, to $7.1 million, or $0.48 per share, for the first six months of 2010 compared with distributable net realized income of $5.8 million, or $0.62 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009 due to the higher levels of distributable net investment income, partially offset by the decrease in total net realized gain (loss) from investments.

Net Realized Income

The higher levels of net investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by the decrease from total net realized gain (loss) during that period resulted in a $1.1 million, or 21%, increase in net realized income compared with the corresponding period of 2009.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Attributable to Common Stock

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the $7.3 million net change in unrealized appreciation from investments was principally attributable to (i) $1.1 million in accounting reversals of net unrealized depreciation attributable to the net realized loss recognized during the first six months of 2010 as discussed above, (ii) unrealized appreciation on seventeen portfolio investments totaling $9.5 million, offset by unrealized depreciation on fourteen portfolio investments totaling $4.7 million, (iii) $1.8 million in unrealized appreciation attributable to our SBIC debentures, and (iv) $0.3 million in unrealized depreciation attributable to our investment in the affiliated Investment Manager.  The noncontrolling interest of $0.4 million recognized during the first six months of 2010 reflected the pro rata portion of MSC II net earnings attributable to the limited partnership interests in MSC II not owned by Main Street.  During the first quarter of 2010, we also recognized a $4.9 million bargain purchase gain related to the consummation of the Exchange Offer. The bargain purchase gain recognized during the

50

first quarter of 2010 is a non-recurring gain which was solely generated by the acquisition accounting related to the Exchange Offer.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we also recognized a net income tax provision of $0.4 million principally related to deferred taxes on unrealized appreciation of equity investments held in our taxable subsidiary.

As a result of these events, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $17.9 million, or $1.22 per share, compared with a net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock of $3.3 million, or $0.35 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $25.9 million. During that period, we generated $6.7 million of cash from our operating activities, primarily from distributable net investment income partially offset by accretion of unearned income and increases in interest receivable and other assets. We used $87.9 million in net cash from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, principally including the funding of $85.0 million for core and private placement portfolio investments and the funding of $30.7 million for marketable securities and idle funds investments, partially offset by (i) $19.5 million of cash proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and idle funds investments, (ii) $2.5 million in cash acquired as part of the Exchange Offer, (iii) $3.2 million from the full and partial exits of equity investments and (iv) $2.7 million in cash proceeds from the repayment of core and private placement portfolio debt investments.  For the first six months of 2010, $55.4 million in cash was provided by financing activities, which principally consisted of (i) $40.1 million in net cash proceeds from a January 2010 public stock offering, (ii) $9.7 million in net cash proceeds from the issuance of SBIC debentures, and (iii) $12.5 million in net borrowings under our $30 million investment credit facility, partially offset by $7.0 million in cash dividends paid to stockholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1.0 million. During that period, we generated $3.0 million of cash from our operating activities, primarily from distributable net investment income partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and increases in other assets. We used $13.2 million in net cash from investing activities, principally including the funding of $31.8 million for idle funds investments and the funding of $6.6 million for new portfolio company investments, partially offset by $20.5 million of cash proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and idle funds investments and $4.8 million in cash proceeds from the repayment of debt investments. During the first six months of 2009, $9.2 million in cash was provided by financing activities, which principally consisted of $16.3 million in cash proceeds from a public stock offering, partially offset by $5.8 million in cash dividends to stockholders and $1.6 million in purchases of shares of our common stock as part of our share repurchase program.

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2010, we had $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and idle funds investments, and our net asset value totaled $185.8 million, or $12.21 per share. In January 2010, we completed a follow-on public stock offering in which we sold 2,875,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $14.75 per share (or approximately 121% of the latest reported Net Asset Value per share), resulting in total net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million, after deducting underwriters’ commissions and offering costs.

On October 24, 2008, Main Street entered into a $30 million, three-year investment credit facility (the “Investment Facility”) with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) and Compass Bank, as lenders, and BB&T, as administrative agent for the lenders. The purpose of the Investment Facility is to provide additional liquidity in support of future investment and operational activities. The Investment Facility allows for an increase in the total size of the facility up to $75 million, subject to certain conditions, and has a maturity date of October 24, 2011. Borrowings under the Investment Facility bear interest, subject to Main Street’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.75% or (ii) the applicable base rate plus 0.75%. Main Street pays unused commitment fees of 0.375% per annum on the average unused lender commitments under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to: (i) maintaining a minimum liquidity of not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, (ii) maintaining an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0, and (iii) maintaining a minimum tangible net worth. At June 30, 2010, Main Street had $12.5 million in borrowings outstanding under the Investment Facility, and Main Street was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Investment Facility.

Due to each of the Funds’ status as a licensed SBIC, we have the ability to issue, through the Funds, debentures guaranteed by the SBA at favorable interest rates. Under the regulations applicable to SBIC funds, an SBIC can have outstanding debentures guaranteed by the SBA generally in an amount up to twice its regulatory capital, which effectively approximates the amount of its equity capital. Debentures guaranteed by the SBA have fixed interest rates that equal prevailing 10-year Treasury Note rates plus a market spread and have a maturity of ten years with interest payable semi-annually. The principal amount of the debentures is not required to be paid before maturity but may be pre-paid at any time. Debentures issued prior to September 2006 were subject to pre-payment penalties during their first five years. Those pre-payment penalties no longer apply to debentures issued after September 1, 2006. On June 30, 2010, we, through the Funds, had $145 million of outstanding indebtedness guaranteed by the SBA, which carried an average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.5%. The first maturity related to the SBIC debentures does not occur until 2013, and the weighted average duration is 6.9 years as of June 30, 2010.

The Stimulus Bill contains several provisions applicable to SBIC funds, including the Funds. One of the key SBIC-related provisions included in the Stimulus Bill increased the maximum amount of combined SBIC leverage (or SBIC leverage cap) to $225 million for affiliated SBIC funds. The prior maximum amount of SBIC leverage available to affiliated SBIC funds was approximately $137 million. Since the increase in the SBIC leverage cap applies to affiliated SBIC funds, Main Street is required to allocate such increased borrowing capacity between the Funds. Subsequent to the Exchange Offer, Main Street now has access to an incremental $80 million in SBIC leverage capacity, subject to the required capitalization of each of the Funds, in addition to the $80 million of existing MSC II SBIC leverage and the $65 million of MSMF SBIC leverage.

A recently proposed bill, the Small Business Financing and Investment Act of 2009, or HR 3854, would increase the total SBIC leverage capacity for affiliated SBIC funds from $225 million to $350 million. If enacted, this bill would increase Main Street’s SBIC leverage capacity through the Funds by an additional $125 million.  While Main Street is positioned to benefit from the full congressional passage of HR 3854, the ultimate form and likely outcome of such legislation or any similar legislation cannot be predicted.

Due to our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and idle funds investments and the available borrowing capacity through both the SBIC program and the Investment Facility, we project that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our investment and operational activities through the remainder of calendar year 2010. However, this projection will be impacted by, among other things, the pace of new and follow-on investments, debt repayments and investment redemptions, the level of cash flow from operations and cash flow from realized gains, and the level of dividends we pay in cash. We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through existing cash and cash equivalents, the liquidation of marketable securities and idle funds investments, and a combination of future debt and equity capital. Our primary uses of funds will be investments in portfolio companies, operating expenses and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.

We periodically invest excess cash balances into marketable securities and idle funds investments. The investment objective of marketable securities and idle funds investments is to generate incremental cash returns on excess cash balances prior to utilizing those funds for investment in our core and private placement portfolio investment strategy. Marketable securities and idle funds investments generally consist of secured debt investments, independently rated debt investments, certificates of deposit with financial institutions, and diversified bond funds. The composition of marketable securities and idle funds investments will vary in a given period based upon, among other things, changes in market conditions, the underlying fundamentals in our marketable securities and idle funds investments, our outlook regarding future core and private placement portfolio investment needs, and any regulatory requirements applicable to Main Street.

If our common stock trades below our net asset value per share, we will generally not be able to issue additional common stock at the market price unless our stockholders approve such a sale and our Board of Directors makes certain determinations. A proposal, approved by our stockholders at our June 2010 annual meeting of stockholders, authorizes us to sell shares of our common stock below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock in one or more offerings for a period of one year ending on June 9, 2011.   We would need similar future approval from our stockholders to issue shares below the then current net asset value per share any time after the expiration of the current approval.

In order to satisfy the Code requirements applicable to a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spillover certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year. In addition, as a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. In January 2008, we received exemptive relief from the SEC that permits us to exclude SBA-guaranteed debt issued by our wholly owned SBIC subsidiary, MSMF, from our asset

coverage ratio, which, in turn, enables us to fund more investments with debt capital. We expect to obtain similar relief from the SEC with respect to SBIC debt securities issued by MSC II, including the $80 million of currently outstanding debt related to its participation in the SBIC program.

Current Market Conditions

Although we have been able to secure access to additional liquidity, including our recent public stock offering, the $30 million Investment Facility, and the increase in available leverage through the SBIC program as part of the Stimulus Bill, there is no assurance that debt or equity capital will be available to us in the future on favorable terms, or at all.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 810, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“ASC 810”), which amends the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  It requires reporting entities to evaluate former qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”) for consolidation, changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It also clarifies, but does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE. ASC 810 requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public and non-public companies. ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods.  Main Street adopted ASC 810 on January 1, 2010.  The FASB agreed at its January 27, 2010 meeting to issue an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to finalize its proposal to indefinitely defer ASC 810 for reporting enterprises’ interests in entities that either have all of the characteristics of investment companies or for which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes consistent with those that apply to investment companies. The provisions of ASC 810 will not have any impact on Main Street’s financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a significant impact on Main Street’s financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC 805, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, replacing the previous cost-allocation process. ASC 805 also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Main Street adopted ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. Main Street accounted for the Exchange Offer under ASC 805 with the impact on the financial statements discussed in Note I to the consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant effect on our results of operations in any of the reporting periods presented herein. However, our portfolio companies have experienced, and may in the future experience, the impacts of inflation on their operating results, including periodic escalations in their costs for raw materials and required energy consumption.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. At June 30, 2010, we had two outstanding commitments to fund unused revolving loans for up to $1.5 million in total.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2010, our future fixed commitments for cash payments on contractual obligations for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

			July 1 through
			December 31,										2015 and
	Total		2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		thereafter
	(dollars in thousands)
SBIC debentures	$	145,000	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	4,000	$	18,000	$	123,000
Interest due on SBIC debentures	55,151		3,990		7,993		8,011		7,989		7,683		19,485
Total	$	200,151	$	3,990	$	7,993	$	8,011	$	11,989	$	25,683	$	142,485

MSC II is obligated to make payments under an investment advisory agreement with the Investment Manager, MSCC’s wholly owned subsidiary.  The payments due under the investment advisory agreement are fixed for the first five years at $3.3 million per year, paid quarterly, until December 31, 2010.  Subsequent to December 31, 2010, under the investment advisory agreement, MSC II will be obligated to pay a 2% annualized management fee based upon MSC II assets under management.

MSCC is obligated to make payments under a support services agreement with the Investment Manager.  The Investment Manager is reimbursed for its excess cash expenses associated with providing investment management and other services to MSCC and its subsidiaries, as well as MSC II and third parties. Each quarter, as part of the support services agreement, MSCC makes payments to cover all cash expenses incurred by the Investment Manager, less the recurring management fees that the Investment Manager receives from MSC II pursuant to a long-term investment advisory services agreement and any other fees received from third parties for providing external services.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the expenses reimbursed by MSCC to the Investment Manager were $820,198 and $79,938, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

As discussed further in Note D to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the completion of the Formation Transactions, the Investment Manager is a wholly owned portfolio company of MSCC. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Investment Manager had a receivable of $601,853 and $217,422, respectively, with MSCC related to net cash expenses incurred by the Investment Manager required to support Main Street’s business.

Recent Developments

On July 1, 2010, Main Street’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 149,357 shares of restricted stock to Main Street employees pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares will vest over a four-year period from the grant date and will be expensed over a four-year service period starting on the grant date.

On July 1, 2010, a total of 7,920 shares of restricted stock was issued to Main Street’s independent directors pursuant to the Main Street Capital Corporation 2008 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. These shares will vest on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting at which Main Street stockholders elect directors, provided that these independent directors have been in continuous service as members of the Board through such date. As a result, these shares will be expensed over a one-year service period starting on the grant date.

On July 8, 2010, Main Street exited its debt and equity investment in Advantage Millwork Company, Inc., one of the portfolio companies on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2010, at a price equal to the portfolio company’s fair value at June 30, 2010.  For the third quarter of 2010, Main Street will recognize a realized loss of approximately $1.9 million on the exit of this investment.

On July 30, 2010, Main Street exited its largest private placement debt investment in Apria Healthcare Group, Inc., at a price exceeding the portfolio company’s fair value at June 30, 2010.  Therefore, Main Street will recognize a $0.5 million realized gain in the third quarter of 2010 related to the exit of this investment.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, marketable securities, and idle funds investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent of any debt investments that include floating interest rates. The significant majority of our debt investments are made with fixed interest rates for the term of the investment. However, as of June 30, 2010, approximately 6% of our core debt investment portfolio (at cost) bore interest at floating rates with 66% of those floating-rate debt investments (at cost) subject to contractual minimum interest rates.  In addition, as of June 30, 2010, approximately 44% of our private placement debt investment portfolio (at cost) bore interest at floating rates with 93% of those floating-rate debt investments (at cost) subject to contractual minimum interest rates. The long term interest rates on our SBIC debentures are fixed for the 10-year life of such debt.  Borrowings under the Investment Facility bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, and at June 30, 2010, we had $12.5 million in borrowings outstanding under the Investment Facility.  As of June 30, 2010, we had not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements. At June 30, 2010, based on our applicable levels of floating-rate debt investments, a 1% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our level of interest income from debt investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our President and Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Compliance Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our President and Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Compliance Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any current legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect any current matters will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance whether any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future reporting period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, that we filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010.

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

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we issued 123,203 shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.  The aggregate value for the shares of common stock sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010, under the dividend reinvestment plan was approximately $1.9 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we issued 248,803 shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.  The aggregate value for the shares of common stock sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010, under the dividend reinvestment plan was approximately $3.8 million.
