Portfolio and Investment Activities

At March 31, 2010, we had investments in debt in 80 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of approximately $293.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had approximately $32.7 million in debt repayments in existing portfolio companies. No new investments were made and no securities were sold. In the short term, we expect to invest in a mix of mezzanine and senior secured loans to obtain a high level of current income and to preserve capital.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the weighted average annualized interest income yield (which excludes income resulting from amortization of fees and discounts) and weighted average annualized investment income yield (which includes interest income and amortization of fees and discounts) on the fair value of investments in our portfolio was approximately 7.6% and 9.8%, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 49.9% of our portfolio at fair value had interest rate floors that limit minimum interest rates on such loans.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 was approximately $7.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Investment income decreased by $1.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in invested assets during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were approximately $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Total operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 19%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to non-recurring organizational costs associated with our public offering. Management fees, which are calculated based on invested assets, were lower in the three months ended March 31, 2010 than in the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in invested assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, we had $0 in net realized gain (loss).

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, we recorded $1.9 million in net unrealized appreciation and -$2.6 million in unrealized depreciation, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58.5 million and $210.4 in total debt outstanding.

On May 11, 2010, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share payable on June 29, 2010 to holders of record as of June 22, 2010. The $0.24 dividend represents a $0.31 per share quarterly dividend prorated for the number of days remaining in the quarter after the close of our initial public offering on April 20, 2010.

Portfolio and Asset Quality

Our investment adviser regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on the following categories:

Risk Ratings Definition
Rating		Definition
Grade 5		Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.

Grade 4		Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.

Grade 3		Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants; however; loan payments are generally not past due.

Grade 2		Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due). For loans graded 2, we will implement a plan to increase monitoring of the borrower.

Grade 1		Indicates that the borrower is performing substantially below expectations and the loan risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans graded 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment performance rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2010:
