For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation was a decrease of $27.7 million or $0.15 per share.

Net unrealized depreciation for the quarter was reduced by $18.0 million or $0.10 per share due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation associated with realized losses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation was a decrease of $425.9 million or $2.38 per share. The net unrealized depreciation for the third quarter of 2008 resulted from net declines in investment values of $378.7 million or $2.12 per share and the reversal of net unrealized appreciation associated with net realized gains of $47.2 million or $0.26 per share.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation, among other factors. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

Liquidity and Operations

During the third quarter of 2009, the company completed a comprehensive restructuring of its private notes and its bank facility. In connection with the restructuring, the company's existing private notes were exchanged for three new series of notes. The Series A Notes, which have a principal amount of $253.8 million, mature on June 15, 2010; the Series B Notes, which have a principal amount of $253.8 million, mature on June 15, 2011; and the Series C Notes, which have a principal amount of $333.5 million, mature primarily on March 31, 2012, with the remainder maturing on April 1, 2012. The company's revolving line of credit was restructured into a term facility maturing on November 13, 2010 and the $46 million of letters of credit outstanding at the time of restructure remained with the facility. As of September 30, 2009, all of the letters of credit have expired or terminated. The company also granted the private noteholders and lenders under the bank facility a pari-passu blanket lien on a substantial portion of its assets, including a substantial portion of the assets of the company's consolidated subsidiaries. The company incurred various closing fees and other costs to complete the restructuring. A portion of the closing costs incurred were recorded as a loss on the extinguishment of debt in the company's results of operations in the third quarter of 2009. The remainder were deferred and are being amortized over the respective remaining terms of the notes and the bank facility. The loss on extinguishment of debt recorded during the third quarter of 2009 was $117.5 million.

The company has focused its efforts on selling assets in its portfolio in order to generate capital to improve its liquidity and de-lever its balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the company sold or had repayments on portfolio investments that generated cash proceeds of $63.5 million and $650.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the company had cash and money market and other securities totaling $152.8 million as compared to $50.7 million at December 31, 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, the company repaid $174 million of its outstanding debt in connection with the restructuring discussed above.

From September 30, 2009 through November 2, 2009, the company has collected additional cash proceeds totaling approximately $195 million, including cash proceeds of $165 million from sale of the company's interest in the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (formerly Unitranche Fund LLC). The company has also paid down an additional $94 million of private debt since September 30, 2009 and has cash and money market and other securities of $273 million as of November 2, 2009.

At September 30, 2009, the company had borrowings on its bank term debt of $50.0 million, outstanding private notes of $841.0 million and outstanding public debt of $745.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the company repurchased publicly issued notes in the market with a total par value of $134.5 million for a total cost of $50.3 million. The company did not repurchase any publicly issued notes during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The company recognized a gain on repurchase of debt of $83.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

The company has reduced new investment activity as part of its efforts to conserve capital and reduce outstanding debt. Investments funded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, totaled $19.4 million, primarily related to pre-existing investment commitments. In addition, the company funded $46.0 million related to letters of credit issued in connection with term securitizations completed by Ciena Capital, LLC. During the quarter, principal collections related to investment repayments or sales totaled $63.5 million.

At September 30, 2009, the total portfolio at value was $2.5 billion, including interest-bearing investments of $2.1 billion with a weighted average yield of 11.9%.

This summary should be read in conjunction with the Company's SEC
filings. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period
balances to conform with the current period financial statement
presentation.
(1)                    The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
                       of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
(2)                    Operating expenses included employee stock option expense totaling
                       $0.4 million or $0.00 per share, $1.2 million or $0.01 per share,
                       $0.8 million or $0.00 per share, $2.3 million or $0.01 per share,
                       and $1.5 million or $0.01 per share for the respective periods.
(3)                    Income tax expense (benefit), including excise tax, included
                       excise tax expense (benefit) of $0.0 million or $0.0 per share,
                       $0.0 million or $0.00 per share, $(0.4) million or $(0.00)per
                       share, $(5.6) million or $(0.03) per share, and $0.9 million or
                       $0.01 per share for the respective periods.
(4)                    During the three months ended September 30, 2009, June 30, 2009
                       and March 31, 2009, the Company repurchased $0.0 million, $132.0
                       million and $2.5 million of its publicly issued notes at a cost of
                       $0.0 million, $49.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The
                       gain is reduced by the recognition of the remaining unamortized
                       original issue discount associated with the notes repurchased.
(5)                    These are the most significant components of our taxable income. The
                       company currently does not expect to declare dividends in 2009.

                       value. The weighted average yields are computed as of the balance
                       sheet date.
