ALLIED
CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Information at and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Allied Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is a
closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that
has elected to be regulated as a business development company
(“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(“1940 Act”). Allied Capital Corporation
(“ACC”) has a real estate investment trust subsidiary,
Allied Capital REIT, Inc. (“Allied REIT”), and several
subsidiaries that are single member limited liability companies
established for specific purposes including holding real estate
properties. ACC also has a subsidiary, A.C. Corporation
(“AC Corp”), that generally provides diligence and
structuring services, as well as transaction, management,
consulting, and other services, including underwriting and
arranging senior loans, to the Company, its portfolio companies
and its managed funds.
ACC and its subsidiaries, collectively, are referred to as the
“Company.” The Company consolidates the results of its
subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes.
Pursuant to Article 6 of
Regulation S-X,
the financial results of the Company’s portfolio
investments are not consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements. Portfolio investments are held for purposes of
deriving investment income and future capital gains.
The investment objective of the Company is to achieve current
income and capital gains. In order to achieve this objective,
the Company has primarily invested in debt and equity securities
of private companies in a variety of industries.
Note 2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
ACC and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2007 balances to conform
with the 2008 financial statement presentation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management,
the unaudited consolidated financial results of the Company
included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008, the
results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, and changes in net assets and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the full year.
The private finance portfolio and the interest and related
portfolio income and net realized gains (losses) on the private
finance portfolio are presented in three categories: companies
more than 25% owned, which represent portfolio companies where
the Company directly or indirectly owns more than 25% of the
outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company, where
the Company controls the portfolio company’s board of
directors, or where the Company acts as manager to a fund, and,
therefore, are deemed controlled by the Company under the 1940
Act; companies owned 5% to 25%, which represent portfolio
companies where the Company directly or indirectly owns 5% to
25% of the
37

continued
outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company or where
the Company holds one or more seats on the portfolio
company’s board of directors and, therefore, are deemed to
be an affiliated person under the 1940 Act; and companies less
than 5% owned which represent portfolio companies where the
Company directly or indirectly owns less than 5% of the
outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company and
where the Company has no other affiliations with such portfolio
company. The interest and related portfolio income and net
realized gains (losses) from the commercial real estate finance
portfolio and other sources, including investments in U.S.
treasury bills, money market and other securities, are included
in the companies less than 5% owned category on the consolidated
statement of operations.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into
transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered
related party transactions.
Valuation
Of Portfolio Investments
The Company, as a BDC, has invested in illiquid securities
including debt and equity securities of portfolio companies, CLO
bonds and preferred shares/income notes, CDO bonds and
investment funds. The Company’s investments may be subject
to certain restrictions on resale and generally have no
established trading market. The Company values substantially all
of its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s
valuation policy and the provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (“SFAS 157” or the
“Statement”). The Company determines fair value to be
the price that would be received for an investment in a current
sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. The Company’s
valuation policy considers the fact that no ready market exists
for substantially all of the securities in which it invests and
that fair value for its investments must typically be determined
using unobservable inputs. The Company’s valuation policy
is intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the
fair value of the portfolio.
The Company adopted SFAS 157 on a prospective basis in the
first quarter of 2008. SFAS 157 requires the Company to
assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the
principal market to market participants, or in the absence of a
principal market, 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. In accordance with the Statement, the Company has
considered its principal market, or the market in which the
Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume
and level of activity.
The Company has determined that for its buyout investments,
where the Company has control or could gain control through an
option or warrant security, both the debt and equity securities
of the portfolio investment would exit in the merger and
acquisition (“M&A”) market as the principal
market generally through a sale or recapitalization of the
portfolio company. The Company believes that the in-use premise
of value (as defined in SFAS 157), which assumes the debt
and equity securities are sold together, is appropriate as this
would provide maximum proceeds to the seller. As a result, the
Company will continue to use the enterprise value methodology to
determine the fair value of these investments under
SFAS 157. Enterprise value means the entire value of the
company to a market participant, including the sum of the values
of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise
at a point in time. Enterprise value is determined using various
factors, including cash flow from operations of the portfolio
company, multiples at which private companies are bought and
sold, and other pertinent factors, such as recent offers to
purchase a portfolio company, recent transactions involving the
purchase or sale
38
ALLIED CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —
(Continued)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
continued
of the portfolio company’s
equity securities, liquidation events, or other events. The
Company allocates the enterprise value to these securities in
order of the legal priority of the securities.
While the Company typically exits its securities upon the sale
or recapitalization of the portfolio company in the M&A
market, for investments in portfolio companies where the Company
does not have control or the ability to gain control through an
option or warrant security, the Company cannot typically control
the exit of its investment into its principal market (the
M&A market). As a result, in accordance with SFAS 157,
the Company is required to determine the fair value of these
investments assuming a sale of the individual investment in a
hypothetical market to a hypothetical market participant (the
in-exchange premise of value). The Company continues to perform
an enterprise value analysis for the investments in this
category to assess the credit risk of the loan or debt security
and to determine the fair value of its equity investment in
these portfolio companies. The determined equity values are
generally discounted when the Company has a minority ownership
position, restrictions on resale, specific concerns about the
receptivity of the capital markets to a specific company at a
certain time, or other factors. For loan and debt securities,
the Company performs a yield analysis assuming a hypothetical
current sale of the investment. The yield analysis requires the
Company to estimate the expected repayment date of the
instrument and a market participant’s required yield. The
Company’s estimate of the expected repayment date of a loan
or debt security is generally shorter than the legal maturity of
the instruments as the Company’s loans have historically
been repaid prior to the maturity date. The yield analysis
considers changes in interest rates and changes in leverage
levels of the loan or debt security as compared to market
interest rates and leverage levels. Assuming the credit quality
of the loan or debt security remains stable, the Company will
use the value determined by the yield analysis as the fair value
for that security. A change in the assumptions that the Company
uses to estimate the fair value of its loans and 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 loan or debt security is in workout status, the
Company may consider other factors in determining the fair value
of a loan or debt security, including the value attributable to
the loan or debt security from the enterprise value of the
portfolio company or the proceeds that would be received in a
liquidation analysis.
The Company’s equity investments in private debt and equity
funds are generally valued at such fund’s net asset value,
unless other factors lead to a determination of fair value at a
different amount. The value of the Company’s equity
securities in public companies for which quoted prices in an
active market are readily available is based on the closing
public market price on the measurement date.
The fair value of the Company’s CLO bonds and preferred
shares/income notes and CDO bonds (“CLO/CDO Assets”)
is generally based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes
prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on
historical experience and projected performance, economic
factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and
comparable yields for similar bonds and preferred shares/ income
notes, when available. The Company recognizes unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on its CLO/CDO Assets as comparable
yields in the market change
and/or based
on changes in estimated cash flows resulting from changes in
prepayment, re-investment or loss assumptions in the underlying
collateral pool, or changes in redemption assumptions for the
CLO/CDO Assets, if applicable. The Company determines the fair
value of its CLO/CDO Assets on an individual
security-by-security
basis.
The Company will record unrealized depreciation on investments
when it determines that the fair value of a security is less
than its cost basis, and will record unrealized appreciation
when it determines that the fair value is greater than its cost
basis. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the
39

values determined at the measurement date may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a
ready market existed for the investments, and the differences
could be material. Additionally, changes in the market
environment and other events that may occur over the life of the
investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on
these investments to be different than the values determined at
the measurement date.
Net
Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized
Appreciation or Depreciation
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between
the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis
of the investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or
depreciation previously recognized, and include investments
charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation primarily reflects the
change in portfolio investment values during the reporting
period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation also
reflects the change in the value of U.S. Treasury bills and
depreciation on accrued interest and dividends receivable and
other assets where collection is doubtful.
Interest
and Dividend Income
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent
that such amounts are expected to be collected. For loans and
debt securities with contractual payment-in-kind interest, which
represents contractual interest accrued and added to the loan
balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will
not accrue payment-in-kind interest if the portfolio company
valuation indicates that the payment-in-kind interest is not
collectible. In general, interest is not accrued on loans and
debt securities if the Company has doubt about interest
collection or where the enterprise value of the portfolio
company may not support further accrual. Loans in workout status
generally do not accrue interest. In addition, interest may not
accrue on loans or debt securities to portfolio companies that
are more than 50% owned by the Company depending on such
company’s capital requirements.
When the Company receives nominal cost warrants or free equity
securities (“nominal cost equity”), the Company
allocates its cost basis in its investment between its debt
securities and its nominal cost equity at the time of
origination. At that time, the original issue discount basis of
the nominal cost equity is recorded by increasing the cost basis
in the equity and decreasing the cost basis in the related debt
securities. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and
market discount are capitalized and then amortized into interest
income using a method that approximates the effective interest
method. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any
unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest
income and any unamortized original issue discount or market
discount is recorded as a realized gain.
The weighted average yield on loans and debt securities is
computed as the (a) annual stated interest on accruing
loans and debt securities plus the annual amortization of loan
origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount
on accruing loans and debt securities less the annual
amortization of loan origination costs, divided by
(b) total loans and debt securities at value. The weighted
average yield is computed as of the balance sheet date.
The Company recognizes interest income on the CLO preferred
shares/income notes using the effective interest method, based
on the anticipated yield that is determined using the estimated
cash flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are
revised when there are changes in actual or estimated
40

cash flows due to changes in
prepayments and/or re-investments, credit losses or asset
pricing. Changes in estimated yield are recognized as an
adjustment to the estimated yield over the remaining life of the
preferred shares/income notes from the date the estimated yield
was changed. CLO and CDO bonds have stated interest rates. The
weighted average yield on the CLO/CDO Assets is calculated as
the (a) annual stated interest or the effective interest
yield on the accruing bonds or the effective yield on the
preferred shares/income notes, divided by (b) CLO/CDO
Assets at value. The weighted average yields are computed as of
the balance sheet date.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as
dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are expected to be collected and to the extent that the
Company has the option to receive the dividend in cash. Dividend
income on common equity securities is recorded on the record
date for private companies or on the ex-dividend date for
publicly traded companies.
| Fee Income |
Fee income includes fees for loan prepayment premiums,
guarantees, commitments, and services rendered by the Company to
portfolio companies and other third parties such as diligence,
structuring, transaction services, management and consulting
services, and other services. Loan prepayment premiums are
recognized at the time of prepayment. Guaranty and commitment
fees are generally recognized as income over the related period
of the guaranty or commitment, respectively. Diligence,
structuring, and transaction services fees are generally
recognized as income when services are rendered or when the
related transactions are completed. Management, consulting and
other services fees, including fund management fees, are
generally recognized as income as the services are rendered.
Fees are not accrued if the Company has doubt about collection
of those fees.
Guarantees
Guarantees meeting the characteristics described in FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others and issued or modified
after December 31, 2002, are recognized at fair value at
inception. Guarantees made on behalf of portfolio companies are
considered in determining the fair value of the Company’s
investments. See Note 5.
Financing
Costs
Debt financing costs are based on actual costs incurred in
obtaining debt financing and are deferred and amortized as part
of interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument
using a method that approximates the effective interest method.
Costs associated with the issuance of common stock are recorded
as a reduction to the proceeds from the sale of common stock.
Financing costs generally include underwriting, accounting and
legal fees, and printing costs.
Dividends
to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the record date.

Stock
Compensation Plans
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. See
Note 9. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R
was adopted using the modified prospective method of
application, which required the Company to recognize
compensation costs on a prospective basis beginning
January 1, 2006. Accordingly, the Company did not restate
prior year financial statements. Under this method, the
unamortized cost of previously awarded options that were
unvested as of January 1, 2006, is recognized over the
remaining service period in the statement of operations
beginning in 2006, using the fair value amounts determined for
pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123R. With respect to
options granted on or after January 1, 2006, compensation
cost based on estimated grant date fair value is recognized over
the related service period in the statement of operations. The
stock option expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, was as follows:

In addition to employee stock option expense, administrative
expense included $0.1 million for both the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, and $0.2 million for both the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, for options
granted to non-officer directors. Options granted to non-officer
directors vest on the grant date and therefore, the full expense
is recorded on the grant date.
The stock option expense for options granted in 2008 and 2007
was based on the underlying value of the options granted by the
Company. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
and expensed over the vesting period. The following weighted

options granted during the three and six months ended

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,

The expected term of the options granted represents the period
of time that such options are expected to be outstanding. To
determine the expected term of the options, the Company used
historical data to estimate option exercise time frames,
including considering employee terminations. The risk free rate
was based on the U.S. Treasury bond yield curve at the date of
grant consistent with the expected term. Expected volatilities
were determined based on the historical volatility of the
Company’s common stock over a historical time period
consistent with the expected term. The dividend yield was
determined based on the Company’s historical dividend yield
over a historical time period consistent with the expected term.
To determine the stock options expense for the options granted,
the calculated fair value of the options granted is applied to
the options granted, net of assumed future option forfeitures.
The Company estimates that the employee-related stock option
expense will be $13.1 million, $6.5 million, and
$4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2009, and 2010, respectively. This estimate may change if the
Company’s assumptions related to future option forfeitures
change. This estimate does not include any expense related to
stock option grants after June 30, 2008, as the fair value
of those stock options will be determined at the time of grant,
and does not include the effect of any forfeitures that may
result from the headcount reductions in the third quarter of
2008. The aggregate total stock option expense remaining as of
June 30, 2008, is expected to be recognized over an
estimated weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Federal
and State Income Taxes and Excise Tax
The Company intends to comply with the requirements of the Code
that are applicable to regulated investment companies
(“RIC”) and real estate investment trusts
(“REIT”). ACC and any subsidiaries that qualify as a
RIC or a REIT intend to distribute or retain through a deemed
distribution all of their annual taxable income to shareholders;
therefore, the Company has made no provision for income taxes
exclusive of excise taxes for these entities.
If the Company does not distribute at least 98% of its annual
taxable income in the year earned, the Company will generally be
required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which
98% of the Company’s annual taxable income exceeds the
distributions from such taxable income during the year earned.
To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated
current year annual taxable income will be in excess of
estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable
income, the Company accrues excise taxes on estimated excess
taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual
effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate
is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the
estimated annual taxable income.
Income taxes for AC Corp are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Per
Share Information
Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period
presented. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the
potential
43
ALLIED CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

dilution that could occur if options to issue common stock were
exercised into common stock. Earnings per share is computed
after subtracting dividends on preferred shares, if any.
Use of
Estimates in the Preparation of Financial
Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include portfolio
investments at value of $4.5 billion and $4.8 billion
at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.
At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, 91% and 92%,
respectively, of the Company’s total assets represented
portfolio investments whose fair values have been determined by
the Board of Directors in good faith in the absence of readily
available market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of
valuation, the Board of Directors’ determined values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used
had a ready market existed for the investments, and the
differences could be material.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this
statement on a prospective basis beginning in the quarter ended
March 31, 2008. Adoption of this statement has not had a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. However, the impact on its consolidated financial
statements for future periods cannot be determined at this time
as it will be influenced by the estimates of fair value for
those periods, the number and amount of investments the Company
originates, acquires or exits, and the effect of any additional
guidance or any changes in the interpretation of this statement.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. This statement permits an entity to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. This statement applies to all reporting entities,
and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure
requirements for assets and liabilities reported at fair value
as a consequence of the election. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company did not
elect fair value measurement for assets or liabilities other
than portfolio investments, which were already required to be
measured at fair value, therefore, the adoption of this
statement did not impact the Company’s consolidated
financial position or its results of operations.

The Company’s private finance investment activity
principally involves providing financing through privately
negotiated long-term debt and equity investments. The
Company’s private finance debt and equity investments are
generally issued by private companies and are generally illiquid
and may be subject to certain restrictions on resale.
The Company’s private finance debt investments are
generally structured as loans and debt securities that carry a
relatively high fixed rate of interest, which may be combined
with equity features, such as conversion privileges, or warrants
or options to purchase a portion of the portfolio company’s
equity at a pre-determined strike price, which is generally a
nominal price for warrants or options in a private company. The
annual stated interest rate is only one factor in pricing the
investment relative to the Company’s rights and priority in
the portfolio company’s capital structure, and will vary
depending on many factors, including if the Company has received
nominal cost equity or other components of
45
ALLIED CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —

Note 3. Portfolio, continued
investment return, such as loan origination fees or market
discount. The stated interest rate may include some component of
contractual payment-in-kind interest, which represents
contractual interest accrued and added to the loan balance that
generally becomes due at maturity.
At June 30, 2008, 86% of the private finance loans and debt
securities had a fixed rate of interest and 14% had a floating
rate of interest. At December 31, 2007, 86% of the private
finance loans and debt securities had a fixed rate of interest
and 14% had a floating rate of interest. Senior loans may carry
a fixed rate of interest or a floating rate of interest, usually
set as a spread over LIBOR, and may require payments of both
principal and interest throughout the life of the loan. Senior
loans generally have contractual maturities of three to six
years and interest is generally paid to the Company monthly or
quarterly. Unitranche debt generally carries a fixed rate of
interest and generally requires payments of both principal and
interest throughout the life of the loan. Unitranche debt
generally has contractual maturities of five to six years and
interest is generally paid to the Company quarterly.
Subordinated debt generally carries a fixed rate of interest
generally with contractual maturities of five to ten years and
generally has interest-only payments in the early years and
payments of both principal and interest in the later years,
although maturities and principal amortization schedules may
vary. Interest on subordinated debt is generally paid to the
Company quarterly.
Equity securities consist primarily of securities issued by
private companies and may be subject to certain restrictions on
their resale and are generally illiquid. The Company may make
equity investments for minority stakes in portfolio companies or
may receive equity features, such as nominal cost warrants, in
conjunction with its debt investments. The Company may also
invest in the equity (preferred and/or voting or non-voting
common) of a portfolio company where the Company’s equity
ownership may represent a significant portion of the equity, but
may or may not represent a controlling interest. If the Company
invests in non-voting equity in a buyout investment, the Company
generally has the option to acquire a controlling stake in the
voting securities of the portfolio company at fair market value.
The Company may incur costs associated with making buyout
investments that will be included in the cost basis of the
Company’s equity investment. These include costs such as
legal, accounting and other professional fees associated with
diligence, referral and investment banking fees, and other
costs. Equity securities generally do not produce a current
return, but are held with the potential for investment
appreciation and ultimate gain on sale.
Ciena Capital LLC. Ciena Capital LLC
(“Ciena”) has provided loans to commercial real estate
owners and operators. Ciena is also a participant in the Small
Business Administration’s 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program
and its wholly-owned subsidiary is licensed by the SBA as a
Small Business Lending Company (SBLC). Ciena is headquartered in
New York, NY.
At June 30, 2008, the Company’s investment in Ciena
totaled $327.8 million at cost and $9.0 thousand at value,
after the effect of unrealized depreciation of
$327.8 million. At December 31, 2007, the
Company’s investment in Ciena totaled $327.8 million at
cost and $68.6 million at value, after the effect of
unrealized depreciation of $259.2 million.
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation included
depreciation on the Company’s investment in Ciena of
$29.3 million and $68.6 million for the three and six

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company placed its investment
in Ciena’s 25% Class A equity interests on non-accrual
status. As a result, there was no interest income from the
Company’s investment in Ciena for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. In consideration for
providing a guaranty on Ciena’s revolving credit facility
and standby letters of credit (discussed below), the Company
earned fees of $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, which were
included in fees and other income. These fees were
$5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Ciena has not yet paid the $5.4 million in such fees earned
by the Company during 2007, and at June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, such fees were included as a receivable
in other assets. The Company considered this outstanding
receivable in its valuation of Ciena at June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007. The Company did not accrue the fees
earned from Ciena for providing the guaranty and standby letters
of credit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company guarantees Ciena’s revolving credit facility
that matures in March 2009. On January 30, 2008, Ciena
completed an amendment of the terms of its revolving credit
facility, which reduced the level of commitments from the
lenders under the facility, increased the Company’s
unconditional guaranty, and, among other things, amended certain
financial and other covenants. Ciena had commitments from the
lenders under the facility of $400 million at June 30,
2008, with reductions in total commitments to $375 million
at July 31, 2008, and to $325 million by
December 31, 2008. Under the amended facility, the
Company’s unconditional guarantee increased from 60% to
100% of the total obligations under this facility (consisting of
principal, letters of credit issued under the facility, accrued
interest, and other fees). The guaranty of the Ciena revolving
credit facility can be called by the lenders in the event of a
default, which includes the occurrence of any event of default
under the Company’s revolving credit facility, subject to
grace periods in certain cases. The terms of the facility and
guaranty prohibit cash payments from Ciena to the Company,
including payments for interest, guarantee fees, management
fees, and dividends. At June 30, 2008, the principal amount
outstanding on Ciena’s revolving credit facility was
$332.0 million and letters of credit issued under the
facility were $2.0 million. The total obligation guaranteed
by the Company at June 30, 2008, was $336.3 million.
See Note 5.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had provided standby letters
of credit totaling $104.1 million in connection with term
securitization transactions completed by Ciena.
Ciena relies on the asset-backed securitization market to
finance its loan origination activity. That financing source
continues to be unreliable in the current capital markets, and
as a result, Ciena has
47
ALLIED CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —

Note 3. Portfolio, continued
substantially curtailed loan origination activity, including
loan originations under the SBA’s 7(a) Guaranteed Loan
Program. Ciena continues to reposition its business. However,
there is an inherent risk in this repositioning and the Company
continues to work with Ciena on restructuring. Ciena maintains
two non-recourse securitization warehouse facilities, both of
which have matured. Ciena is currently working with the
warehouse providers regarding the timing of the pay off of the
warehouse facilities and the servicing of the portfolios. There
is no assurance that Ciena will be able to refinance these
facilities in the loan securitization market. The Company has
issued performance guaranties whereby the Company agreed to
indemnify the warehouse providers for any damages, losses,
liabilities and related costs and expenses that they may incur
as a result of Ciena’s failure to perform any of its
obligations as loan originator, loan seller or loan servicer
under the warehouse securitizations.
The Office of the Inspector General of the SBA (OIG) and the
United States Secret Service are conducting ongoing
investigations of allegedly fraudulently obtained SBA-guaranteed
loans issued by Ciena. Specifically, on or about January 9,
2007, Ciena became aware of an indictment captioned as the
United States v. Harrington,
No. 2:06-CR-20662
pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan. The indictment alleged that a former Ciena
employee in the Detroit office engaged in the fraudulent
origination of loans guaranteed, in substantial part, by the
SBA. The Company understands that Ciena is working cooperatively
with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the investigating
agencies with respect to this matter. On October 1, 2007,
the former Ciena employee pled guilty to one count of conspiracy
to fraudulently originate SBA-guaranteed loans and one count of
making a false statement before a grand jury.
On March 6, 2007, Ciena entered into an agreement with the
SBA. According to the agreement, Ciena remains a preferred
lender in the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program and retains the
ability to sell loans into the secondary market. As part of this
agreement, Ciena immediately paid approximately $10 million
to the SBA to cover amounts paid by the SBA with respect to some
of the SBA-guaranteed loans that have been the subject of the
charges by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern
District of Michigan against Mr. Harrington. Ciena also
entered into an escrow agreement with the SBA and an escrow
agent in which Ciena has deposited $10 million with the
escrow agent for any additional payments Ciena may be obligated
to pay to the SBA in the future under the agreement. During the
term of the agreement, any loans originated by Ciena that will
be sold into the secondary market or loans that default after
having been sold into the secondary market will be reviewed by
an independent third party selected by the SBA prior to the sale
of such loans into the secondary market or prior to
reimbursement by the SBA for loans repurchased by Ciena. Ciena
and the SBA are currently in disagreement regarding the
operation of this agreement, particularly regarding the
repurchase obligations of defaulted loans that are subject to
third party review. Ciena is currently working with the SBA to
try to resolve their differences with respect to this agreement.
Ciena remains subject to SBA rules and regulations and as a
result may be required to make additional payments to the SBA in
the ordinary course of business.
To reduce outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities and
to reposition its loan portfolio, Ciena has sold certain loans.
In the future, Ciena may also seek to sell additional loans,
including loans from its SBA 7(a) portfolio. Under SBA rules and
regulations, sales involving the SBA 7(a) portfolio generally
require advance approval by the SBA.
As an SBA lender, Ciena is also subject to other SBA and OIG
audits, investigations, and reviews. In addition, the Office of
the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is
conducting an investigation of Ciena’s lending practices
under the Business and Industry Loan (B&I) program. The OIG
and the U.S. Department of Justice are also conducting a civil
investigation of Ciena’s lending practices in various
jurisdictions. These investigations, audits and reviews are
ongoing.

On or about January 16, 2007, Ciena (f/k/a Business Loan
Express, LLC) and its subsidiary Business Loan Center LLC
(BLC) became aware of a lawsuit titled, United States, ex
rel James R. Brickman and Greenlight Capital, Inc. v.
Business Loan Express LLC f/k/a Business Loan Express,
Inc.; Business Loan Center LLC f/k/a Business
Loan Center, Inc.; Robert Tannenhauser; Matthew McGee; and
George Harrigan, 05-CV-3147 (JEC). The complaint includes
allegations arising under the False Claims Act and relating to
alleged fraud in connection with SBA guarantees on shrimp vessel
loans. On December 18, 2007, the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia dismissed all claims
in this matter. The plaintiffs are appealing the dismissal.
These investigations, audits, reviews, and litigation have had
and may continue to have a material adverse impact on Ciena and,
as a result, could continue to negatively affect the
Company’s financial results. The Company has considered
Ciena’s current regulatory issues, ongoing investigations,
litigation, and the repositioning of its business in performing
the valuation of Ciena at June 30, 2008. The Company is
monitoring the situation.
At both June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the
Company held all of the Class A equity interests, all of
the Class B equity interests and 94.9% of the Class C
equity interests.
Mercury Air Centers, Inc. In April
2004, the Company completed the purchase of a majority ownership
in Mercury Air Centers, Inc. (“Mercury”). At
June 30, 2007, the Company’s investment in Mercury
totaled $85.3 million at cost and $320.1 million at
value, which included unrealized appreciation of
$234.8 million.
In August 2007, the Company completed the sale of its majority
equity interest in Mercury. For the year ended December 31,
2007, the Company realized a gain of $262.4 million,
subject to post-closing adjustments. In the second quarter of
2008, the Company realized an additional gain of
$2.6 million resulting from these post-closing adjustments.
In addition, the Company was repaid approximately
$51 million of subordinated debt outstanding to Mercury at
closing.
Mercury owned and operated fixed base operations generally under
long-term leases from local airport authorities, which consisted
of terminal and hangar complexes that serviced the needs of the
general aviation community. Mercury was headquartered in
Richmond Heights, OH.
Total interest and related portfolio income earned from the
Company’s investment in Mercury for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, was as follows:

| (1) | The weighted average yield is calculated as the (a) annual stated interest or the effective interest yield on the accruing bonds or the effective interest yield on the preferred shares/income notes, divided by (b) CLO and CDO assets at value. The yield on these debt and equity securities is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. |
The market yield used in the
valuation of the CLO and CDO assets may be different than the
interest yields shown above.
| (2) | These securities are included in private finance subordinated debt. |
| (3) | These funds are managed by the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary. |
The initial yields on the cost basis of the CLO preferred shares
and income notes are based on the estimated future cash flows
expected to be paid to these CLO classes from the underlying
collateral assets. As each CLO preferred share or income note
ages, the estimated future cash flows are updated based on the
estimated performance of the underlying collateral assets, and
the respective yield on the cost basis is adjusted as necessary.
As future cash flows are subject to uncertainties and
contingencies that are difficult to predict and are subject to
future events that may alter current assumptions, no assurance
can be given that the anticipated yields to maturity will be
achieved.
The bonds, preferred shares and income notes of the CLOs and CDO
in which the Company has invested are junior in priority for
payment of interest and principal to the more senior notes
issued by the CLOs and CDO. Cash flow from the underlying
collateral assets in the CLOs and CDO is generally allocated
first to the senior bonds in order of priority, then any
remaining cash flow is generally

distributed to the preferred shareholders and income note
holders. To the extent there are defaults and unrecoverable
losses on the underlying collateral assets that result in
reduced cash flows, the preferred shares/income notes will bear
this loss first and then the subordinated bonds would bear any
loss after the preferred shares/income notes. At both
June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the face value
of the CLO and CDO assets held by the Company was subordinate to
as much as 94% of the face value of the securities outstanding
in these CLOs and CDO.
At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the

Commercial Mortgage Loans and Equity
Interests. The commercial mortgage loan
portfolio contains loans that were originated by the Company or
were purchased from third-party sellers. At June 30, 2008,
and December 31, 2007, approximately 79% and 85%,
respectively, of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan
portfolio was composed of fixed rate loans and approximately 21%
and 15%, respectively, was composed of adjustable interest rate
loans. At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, loans
with a value of $7.5 million and $14.3 million,
respectively, were not accruing interest. Loans greater than
120 days delinquent generally do not accrue interest.
Equity interests consist primarily of equity securities issued
by privately owned companies that invest in single real estate
properties. These equity interests may be subject to certain
restrictions on their resale and are generally illiquid. Equity
interests generally do not produce a current return, but are
generally held in anticipation of investment appreciation and
ultimate realized gain on sale.

Fair
Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this
statement on a prospective basis beginning in the quarter ended
March 31, 2008. Adoption of this statement has not had a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. However, the impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for future periods cannot be
determined at this time as it will be influenced by the
estimates of fair value for those periods, the number and amount
of investments the Company originates, acquires or exits, and
the effect of any additional guidance or any changes in the
interpretation of the statement.

ALLIED CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 3. Portfolio, continued
The Company, as a BDC, has invested in illiquid securities
including debt and equity securities of portfolio companies, CLO
bonds and preferred shares/income notes, CDO bonds and
investment funds. The Company’s investments may be subject
to certain restrictions on resale and generally have no
established trading market. The Company values substantially all
of its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s
valuation policy and the provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and SFAS 157. The Company determines fair value
to be the price that would be received for an investment in a
current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. The Company’s
valuation policy considers the fact that no ready market exists
for substantially all of the securities in which it invests and
that fair value for its investments must typically be determined
using unobservable inputs.
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that encourages
and is based on the use of observable inputs, but allows for
unobservable inputs when observable inputs do not exist. Inputs
are classified into one of three categories:
| • | Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets | |
| • | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable to the market participant for the asset or quoted prices in a market that is not active | |
| • | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs |
When there are multiple inputs for determining the fair value of
an investment, the Company classifies the investment in total
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level
within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2008, were as

Managed
Funds
The Company manages funds that invest in the debt and equity of
primarily private middle market companies in a variety of
industries (together, the “Managed Funds”). As of
June 30, 2008, the funds that the Company manages had total
committed capital of approximately $5 billion and total
assets of approximately $1.9 billion. During 2007, the
Company established the Unitranche Fund LLC and the Allied
Capital Senior Debt Fund, L.P. In the first quarter of 2008, the
Company formed the AGILE Fund I, LLC and assumed the
management of Knightsbridge CLO 2007-1 Ltd. In the second
quarter of 2008, the Company formed Knightsbridge CLO 2008-1
Ltd. The Company’s responsibilities to the Managed Funds
may include origination, underwriting, and portfolio monitoring
and development services consistent with the activities that the
Company performs for its portfolio. Each of the Managed Funds
may separately invest in the debt or equity of a company
depending on each fund’s investment strategy and other
factors. The Company’s portfolio may include debt or equity
investments issued by the same portfolio company as investments
held by one or more Managed Funds, and these investments may be
senior, pari passu or junior to the debt and equity investments
held by the Company.
The Company accounts for the sale of securities to funds with
which it has continuing involvement as sales pursuant to SFAS
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a
replacement of FASB Statement 125, when the securities have been
legally isolated from the Company, the Company has no ability to
restrict or constrain the ability of the funds to pledge or
exchange the transferred securities, and the Company does not
have either the entitlement and the obligation to repurchase the
securities or the ability to unilaterally cause the fund to put
the securities back to the Company.
Unitranche Fund LLC. In December
2007, the Company formed the Unitranche Fund LLC
(“Unitranche Fund”), which the Company co-manages with
an affiliate of General Electric Capital

are completed. The Company earns a management and sourcing fee
totaling 0.375% per annum of managed assets. In addition to the
management and sourcing fee, the Company earns structuring fees
on investments made by the Unitranche Fund. At June 30,
2008, the Unitranche Fund had total assets of approximately
$532 million, and the Company’s investment in the
Unitranche Fund totaled $94.6 million at cost and at value.

AGILE Fund I, LLC. In January
2008, the Company entered into an investment agreement with the
Goldman Sachs Private Equity Group, part of Goldman Sachs Asset
Management (“Goldman Sachs”).
As part of the investment agreement, the Company agreed to sell
a pro-rata strip of private equity and debt investments to AGILE
Fund I, LLC (“AGILE”), a private fund in which a fund
managed by Goldman Sachs owns substantially all of the
interests, for a total transaction value of $167 million. The
sales of the assets closed in the first quarter of 2008. The
sale to AGILE included 13.7% of the Company’s equity
investments in 23 of its buyout portfolio companies and 36 of
its minority equity portfolio companies for a total purchase
price of $104 million, which resulted in a net realized
gain of $8.5 million (subsequent to
post-closing
adjustments) and dividend income of $5.4 million. In
addition, the Company sold approximately $63 million in
debt investments, which represented 7.3% of its unitranche,
second lien and subordinated debt investments in the buyout
investments included in the equity sale. AGILE generally has the
right to co-invest in its proportional share of any future
follow-on investment opportunities presented by the companies in
its portfolio.
The Company is the managing member of AGILE, and is entitled to
an incentive allocation subject to certain performance
benchmarks. The Company owns the remaining interests in AGILE
not held by Goldman Sachs. At June 30, 2008, AGILE had
total assets of approximately $155 million and the
Company’s investment in AGILE totaled $0.8 million at
cost and at value.
In addition, pursuant to the investment agreement Goldman Sachs
has committed to invest at least $125 million in future
investment vehicles managed by the Company and will have future
opportunities to invest in the Company’s affiliates, or
vehicles managed by them, and to coinvest alongside the Company
in the future, subject to various terms and conditions.
As part of this transaction, the Company also sold
ten venture capital and private equity limited partnership
investments for approximately $28 million to a fund managed
by Goldman Sachs, which assumed the $5.3 million of
unfunded commitments related to these limited partnership
investments. The sales of these limited partnership investments
closed in the first half of 2008 and resulted in a net realized
loss of $7.0 million (subsequent to post-closing
adjustments) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Notes
Payable and Debentures
Privately Issued Unsecured
Notes Payable. The Company has privately
issued unsecured long-term notes to institutional investors. The
notes have five- or seven-year maturities and have fixed rates
of interest. The notes generally require payment of interest
only semi-annually, and all principal is due upon maturity. At

March 2009 to June 2015. The notes may be prepaid in whole
or in part, together with an interest premium, as stipulated in
the note agreements.

denominated in Euros and Sterling for a total U.S. dollar
equivalent of $15.2 million. The notes have fixed interest
rates and have substantially the same terms as the
Company’s other unsecured notes. The Euro notes require
annual interest payments and the Sterling notes require
semi-annual interest payments until maturity. These notes mature
in March 2009. Simultaneous with issuing the notes, the Company
entered into a cross currency swap with a financial institution
which fixed the Company’s interest and principal payments
in U.S. dollars for the life of the debt.
On May 14, 2008, the Company repaid $153.0 million of
unsecured long-term debt that matured. This debt had a fixed

At December 31, 2007, the Company had an unsecured
revolving line of credit with a committed amount of
$922.5 million that was scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2008. On April 9, 2008, the Company
entered into a three-year unsecured revolving line of credit
with total commitments of $632.5 million, with Bank of
America, N.A., as a lender and as administrative agent, and the
other lenders thereunder, which replaced the Company’s
previous revolving line of credit. The Company may obtain
additional commitments up to a total committed facility of
$1.5 billion, subject to customary conditions. The
revolving line of credit expires on April 11, 2011.
At the Company’s option, borrowings under the revolving
line of credit effective April 9, 2008, generally bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (for the period
selected by the Company) plus 2.00% or (ii) the higher of
the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the Bank of America N.A.

rate. The revolving line of credit requires the payment of an
annual commitment fee equal to 0.50% of the committed amount
(whether used or unused). The revolving line of credit generally
requires payments of interest at the end of each LIBOR interest
period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on
LIBOR-based
loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. All
principal is due upon maturity.
The revolving credit facility provides for a swing line
sub-facility. The swing line sub-facility bears interest at the
Bank of America N.A. cost of funds plus 2.00%. The revolving
credit facility also provides for a sub-facility for the
issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of
$175 million. This letter of credit sub-facility will
increase to the extent of 15% of the aggregate amount of
commitments over $1.0 billion. The letter of credit fee is
2.00% per annum on letters of credit issued, which is payable
quarterly.
The annual cost of commitment fees, other facility fees and
amortization of debt financing costs was $7.2 million and
$3.7 million at June 30, 2008, and December 31,
2007, respectively.
The average debt outstanding on the revolving line of credit was
$234.7 million and $93.5 million, respectively, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The maximum
amount borrowed under this facility and the weighted average
stated interest rate during the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, were $403.8 million and 4.7%, respectively,
and $225.5 million and 6.4%, respectively. At June 30,
2008, the amount available under the revolving line of credit
was $426.8 million, net of amounts committed for standby
letters of credit of $125.2 million issued under the credit
facility.
Debt
Covenants
The Company has various financial and operating covenants
required by the revolving line of credit and the privately
issued unsecured notes payable outstanding at June 30,
2008, and December 31, 2007. These covenants require the
Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including asset
coverage, debt to equity and interest coverage, and a minimum
net worth. These credit facilities provide for customary events
of default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults,
breach of representations or covenants, cross-defaults,
bankruptcy events, failure to pay judgments, attachment of the
Company’s assets, change of control and the issuance of an
order of dissolution. Certain of these events of default are
subject to notice and cure periods or materiality thresholds.
The Company’s credit facilities limit its ability to
declare dividends if the Company defaults under certain
provisions.
The Company has certain financial and operating covenants that
are required by the publicly issued unsecured notes payable,
including that the Company will maintain a minimum ratio of 200%
of total assets to total borrowings, as required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, while these notes
are outstanding.

At June 30, 2008, the Company guaranteed 100% of the outstanding total obligations on Ciena’s revolving line of credit, which matures in March 2009, for a total guaranteed amount of $336.3 million. At June 30, 2008, the estimated net realizable value of Ciena’s assets exceeded the amount outstanding on this revolving line of credit. If the estimated net realizable value of Ciena’s assets were to fall below the amount outstanding on Ciena’s revolving line of credit, the Company would be required to record a liability for the amount that the revolving line of credit exceeds the net realizable value of Ciena’s assets. At June 30, 2008, the Company also had standby letters of credit issued totaling $104.1 million in connection with term securitizations completed by Ciena. The Company considered the outstanding letters of credit in its valuation at June 30, 2008. See Note 3. |

Note 8. Employee
Compensation Plans
In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors made a
determination that it was in the best interests of the Company
to terminate its deferred compensation arrangements (each
individually a Plan, or collectively, the Plans). The Board of
Directors’ decision was primarily in response to increased
complexity resulting from recent changes in the regulation of
deferred compensation arrangements. The Board of Directors
resolved that the accounts under these Plans would be
distributed to participants in full on March 18, 2008, the
termination and distribution date, or as soon as was reasonably
practicable thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of
each of these Plans.
The accounts under the deferred compensation arrangements
totaled $52.5 million at December 31, 2007. The
balances on the termination date were distributed to
participants in March 2008 subsequent to the termination date in
accordance with the transition rule for payment elections under
Section 409A of the Code. Distributions from the plans were
made in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, net
of required withholding taxes.

Note 8. Employee Compensation Plans, continued
The Company has an Individual Performance Award
(“IPA”), which is generally determined annually at the
beginning of each year but may be adjusted throughout the year.
Through December 31, 2007, the IPA was deposited in a
deferred compensation trust in four equal installments,
generally on a quarterly basis, in the form of cash. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors designed the
trust to require the trustee to use the cash to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock in the open market.
Through December 31, 2007, the IPA amounts were contributed
into the trust and invested in the Company’s common stock.
The accounts of the trust were consolidated with the
Company’s accounts. The common stock was classified as
common stock held in deferred compensation trust in the
accompanying financial statements and the deferred compensation
obligation, which represented the amount owed to the employees,
was included in other liabilities. Changes in the value of the
Company’s common stock held in the deferred compensation
trust were not recognized. However, the liability was marked to
market with a corresponding charge or credit to employee
compensation expense. On March 18, 2008, prior to the
distribution of the assets held in the trust, the Company was
required to record a final mark to market of the liability with
a corresponding credit to employee compensation expense.
For 2008, the Compensation Committee has determined that the
IPAs will be paid in cash in two equal installments during the
year to eligible officers as long as the recipient remains
employed by the Company, rather than contributed to a deferred
compensation plan and invested in shares of the Company’s
common stock. If a recipient terminates employment during the
year, any remaining cash payments under the IPA would be
forfeited.
The IPA expense for the three and six months ended June 30,

recipients equally throughout the year (beginning in February of
each year) as long as the recipient remains employed by the
Company. If a recipient terminates employment during the year,
any remaining cash payments under the IPB would be forfeited.
For both the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the
IPB expense was $2.6 million. For the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, the IPB expense was
$4.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The IPA and
IPB expenses are included in employee expenses.
Note 9. Stock
Option Plan
The purpose of the stock option plan (“Option Plan”)
is to provide officers and non-officer directors of the Company
with additional incentives. Options are exercisable at a price
equal to the fair market value of the shares on the day the
option is granted. Each option states the period or periods of
time within which the option may be exercised by the optionee,
which may not exceed ten years from the date

Note 9. Stock Option Plan, continued
the option is granted. The options granted to officers generally
vest ratably over up to a three year period. Options
granted to non-officer directors vest on the grant date.
All rights to exercise options terminate 60 days after an
optionee ceases to be (i) a non-officer director,
(ii) both an officer and a director, if such optionee
serves in both capacities, or (iii) an officer (if such
officer is not also a director) of the Company for any cause
other than death or total and permanent disability. In the event
of a change of control of the Company, all outstanding options
will become fully vested and exercisable as of the change of
control.
At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, there were
37.2 million shares authorized under the Option Plan and
the number of shares available to be granted under the Option
Plan was 4.7 million and 10.7 million, respectively.

Note 10. Dividends
and Distributions and Taxes
The Company’s Board of Directors declared and the Company
paid a dividend of $0.65 per common share for both the
first and second quarters of 2008 and $0.63 and $0.64 per common
share for the first and second quarters of 2007, respectively.
These dividends totaled $224.2 million and
$193.4 million for

Note 10. Dividends and Distributions and Taxes,
continued
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company declared an extra cash dividend of $0.05 per share
during 2006, which was paid to shareholders on January 19,
2007.
The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a dividend
of $0.65 per common share for the third quarter of 2008 and
a dividend of $0.65 per share for the fourth quarter of 2008.
At December 31, 2007, the Company had estimated excess
taxable income of $403.1 million available for distribution
to shareholders in 2008. Estimated excess taxable income for
2007 represents approximately $50.0 million of ordinary
income and approximately $353.1 million of net long-term
capital gains. The excess taxable income for 2007 is an estimate
and will not be finally determined until the Company files its
2007 tax return in September 2008.
Dividends paid in 2008 will first be paid out of the excess
taxable income carried over from 2007. For the first and second
quarters of 2008, the Company paid dividends of
$224.2 million. The remainder of 2007 estimated excess
taxable income to be distributed during the second half of 2008
is $178.9 million. In accordance with regulated investment
company distribution rules, the Company must declare current
year dividends to be paid from carried over excess taxable
income from 2007 before the Company files its 2007 tax return in
September 2008, and the Company must pay such dividends by
December 31, 2008. To comply with these rules, on
July 8, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors
declared a $0.65 per share dividend for both the third and
fourth quarters of 2008. The third quarter dividend will be paid
on September 26, 2008, and the fourth quarter dividend will
be paid on December 26, 2008. A substantial portion of the
2008 dividend payments will be made from excess 2007 taxable
earnings.
Given that a substantial portion of the 2008 dividend payments
will be made from excess taxable income carried over from 2007,
the Company currently expects to carry over excess taxable
income earned in 2008 for distribution to shareholders in 2009.
The Company will generally be required to pay a nondeductible
excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of the
Company’s annual taxable income exceeds the distributions
from such taxable income for the year. The Company has accrued
an excise tax on the estimated excess taxable income earned for
the respective periods. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an excise tax of
$1.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company
recorded an excise tax of $4.0 million and $7.6 million,
respectively.
In addition to excess taxable income carried forward, the
Company currently estimates that it has cumulative deferred
taxable income related to installment sale gains of
approximately $234.5 million as of December 31, 2007,
which is composed of cumulative deferred taxable income of
$211.5 million as of December 31, 2006, and
approximately $23.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007. These gains have been recognized for
financial reporting purposes in the respective years they were
realized, but are generally deferred for tax purposes until the
notes or other amounts received from the sale of the related
investments are collected in cash. The realized gains deferred
through installment treatment for 2007 are estimates and will
not be finally determined until the Company files its 2007 tax
return in September 2008.
The Company’s undistributed book earnings of
$535.9 million as of December 31, 2007, resulted from
undistributed ordinary income and long-term capital gains. The
difference between undistributed book earnings at the end of the
year and taxable income carried over from the current year into
the next

year relates to a variety of
timing and permanent differences in the recognition of income
and expenses for book and tax purposes.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiary, AC Corp, is subject
to federal and state income taxes. For the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, AC Corp’s income tax
expense was $2.2 million and $1.5 million,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, income tax expense was $1.9 million and income
tax benefit was $2.7 million, respectively.
Note 11. Supplemental
Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
The Company paid interest of $77.1 million and
$61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. The Company paid income taxes, including
excise taxes, (net of refunds) of $13.0 million and
$20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Non-cash operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, totaled $99.7 million and
$29.0 million, respectively. Non-cash operating activity
included the exchange of existing debt securities and accrued
interest for new debt and equity securities.
Non-cash financing activities included the issuance of common
stock in lieu of cash distributions totaling $3.8 million
and $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 13. Litigation
On June 23, 2004, the Company was notified by the SEC that
the SEC was conducting an informal investigation of the Company.
The investigation related to the valuation of securities in the
Company’s private finance portfolio and other matters. On
June 20, 2007, the Company announced that it entered into a
settlement with the SEC that resolved the SEC’s informal
investigation. As part of the settlement and without admitting
or denying the SEC’s allegations, the Company agreed to the
entry of an administrative order. In the order the SEC alleged
that, between June 30, 2001, and March 31, 2003, the
Company did not maintain books, records and accounts which, in
reasonable detail, supported or accurately and fairly reflected
valuations of certain securities in the Company’s private
finance portfolio and, as a result, did not meet certain
recordkeeping and internal controls provisions of the federal
securities laws. In the administrative order, the SEC ordered
the Company to continue to maintain certain of its current
valuation-related controls. Specifically, for a period of two
years, the Company has undertaken to: (1) continue to
employ a Chief Valuation Officer, or a similarly structured
officer-level employee, to oversee its quarterly valuation
processes; and (2) continue to employ third-party valuation
consultants to assist in its quarterly valuation processes.
On December 22, 2004, the Company received letters from the
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia requesting the
preservation and production of information regarding the Company
and Business Loan Express, LLC (currently known as Ciena Capital
LLC) in connection with a criminal investigation relating to
matters similar to those investigated by and settled with the
SEC as discussed above. The Company produced materials in
response to the requests from the U.S. Attorney’s office
and certain current and former employees were interviewed by the
U.S. Attorney’s Office. The Company has voluntarily
cooperated with the investigation.
In late December 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia requesting,
among other things, the production of records regarding the use
of private investigators by the Company or its agents. The Board
established a committee, which was advised by its own counsel,
to review this matter. In the course of gathering documents
responsive to the subpoena, the Company became aware that an
agent of the Company obtained what were represented to be
telephone records of David Einhorn and which purport to be
records of calls from Greenlight Capital during a period of time
in 2005. Also, while the Company was gathering documents
responsive to the subpoena, allegations were made that the
Company’s management had authorized the acquisition of
these records and that management was subsequently advised that
these records had been obtained. The Company’s management
has stated that these allegations are not true. The Company has
cooperated fully with the inquiry by the U.S. Attorney’s
Office.
On February 13, 2007, Rena Nadoff filed a shareholder
derivative action in the Superior Court of the District of
Columbia, captioned Rena Nadoff v. Walton, et al.,
CA 001060-07,
seeking unspecified compensatory and other damages, as well as
equitable relief on behalf of Allied Capital Corporation. The
complaint was summarily dismissed in July 2007. The complaint
alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors
arising from internal control failures and mismanagement of
Business Loan Express, LLC, an Allied Capital portfolio company.
On October 5, 2007, Rena Nadoff sent a letter to the
Company’s Board of Directors with substantially the same
claims and a request that the Board of Directors investigate the
claims and take appropriate action. The Board of Directors
subsequently established a committee, which is advised by its
own counsel, to review the matter. The Board’s committee
concluded its review of the matter and recommended that the
Board not take any further action with respect to Ms.
Nadoff’s claims. After discussing the matter, the Board
accepted the recommendation.

Note 13. Litigation,

On February 26, 2007, Dana Ross filed a class action
complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia in which she alleges that Allied Capital Corporation
and certain members of management violated Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5
thereunder. Thereafter, the court appointed new lead counsel and
approved new lead plaintiffs. On July 30, 2007, plaintiffs
served an amended complaint. Plaintiffs claim that, between
November 7, 2005, and January 22, 2007, Allied Capital
either failed to disclose or misrepresented information about
its portfolio company, Business Loan Express, LLC. Plaintiffs
seek unspecified compensatory and other damages, as well as
other relief. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit,
and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. On
September 13, 2007, the Company filed a motion to dismiss
the lawsuit. The motion is pending.
In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the
normal course of business.
While the outcome of any of the open legal proceedings described
above cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the
Company does not expect these matters will materially affect its
financial condition or results of operations.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board
of Directors and Shareholders
Allied Capital Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Allied Capital Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company),
including the consolidated statement of investments, as of
June 30, 2008, the related consolidated statements of
operations for the
three- and
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the
consolidated statements of changes in net assets and cash flows
and the financial highlights (included in Note 12) for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These
consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial
statements and financial highlights referred to above for them
to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheet of Allied Capital Corporation and
subsidiaries, including the consolidated statement of
investments, as of December 31, 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and
cash flows (not presented herein), and the financial highlights,
for the year then ended; and in our report dated
February 28, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet including the consolidated statement of
investments as of December 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following analysis of the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with
the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto included herein and in the Company’s annual
report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking
statements. These statements include the plans and objectives of
management for future operations and financial objectives and
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such
as “may,” “will,” “expect,”
“intend,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” or “continue” or the negative
thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.
These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent
uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions.
Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions
to differ materially from those projected in these
forward-looking statements are set forth below in the Risk
Factors section. Other factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially include:
| • | changes in the economy, including economic downturns or recessions; | |
| • | risks associated with possible disruption in our operations due to terrorism; | |
| • | future changes in laws or regulations or changes in accounting principles; and | |
| • | other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and SEC filings. |
Financial or other information presented for private finance
portfolio companies has been obtained from the portfolio
companies, and the financial information presented may represent
unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information, and
therefore may not be indicative of actual results. In addition,
the private equity industry uses financial measures such as
EBITDA or EBITDAM (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation, Amortization and, in some instances, Management
fees) in order to assess a portfolio company’s financial
performance and to value a portfolio company. EBITDA and EBITDAM
are not intended to represent cash flow from operations as
defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and
such information should not be considered as an alternative to
net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of
performance prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
OVERVIEW
As a business development company, we are in the private equity
business. Specifically, we provide long-term debt and equity
investment capital to companies in a variety of industries. Our
private finance activity principally involves providing
financing to middle market U.S. companies through privately
negotiated long-term debt and equity investment capital. Our
financing is generally used to fund buyouts, acquisitions,
growth, recapitalizations, note purchases, and other types of
financings. We generally invest in private companies though,
from time to time, we may invest in companies that are public
but lack access to additional public capital. Our investment
objective is to achieve current income and capital gains.
Our portfolio composition at June 30, 2008 and 2007, and
December 31, 2007, was as follows:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||||||
| 2008 | 2007 | 2007 | ||||||||||
|
Private finance
|
98% | 97% | 97% | |||||||||
|
Commercial real estate finance
|

Our earnings depend primarily on the level of interest and
dividend income, fee and other income, and net realized and
unrealized gains or losses on our investment portfolio after
deducting interest expense on borrowed capital, operating
expenses and income taxes, including excise tax. Interest income
primarily results from the stated interest rate earned on a loan
or debt security and the amortization of loan origination fees
and discounts. The level
75
of interest income is directly
related to the balance of the interest-bearing investment
portfolio outstanding during the period multiplied by the
weighted average yield. Our ability to generate interest income
is dependent on economic, regulatory, and competitive factors
that influence new investment activity, interest rates on the
types of loans we make, the level of new investments and
repayments in the
interest-bearing
investment portfolio, and the amount of loans and debt
securities for which interest is not accruing. The level of fee
income is primarily related to the level of new investment
activity and the level of fees earned from portfolio companies
and managed funds. The level of investment activity can vary
substantially from period to period depending on many factors,
including the amount of debt and equity capital available to
middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition
activity for such companies, the general economic environment,
the competitive environment for the types of investments we make
and our ability to secure debt and equity capital for our
investment activities.
The capital markets for financial services companies, including
business development companies (BDCs) like Allied Capital, have
been challenging and volatile and the sector has seen declining
stock prices. Dividend yields for BDCs are at record highs,
which currently results in a higher cost of public equity
capital for us. Given the higher cost of equity capital, we have
been focused on selling and refinancing lower return assets in
our portfolio so that we can free up capital to redeploy it into
what we believe to be higher return investments. Reinvesting
capital does not necessarily grow our portfolio in size, but it
does provide the opportunity to potentially improve our return
on invested capital.
In addition to investing for our own portfolio, we have invested
in funds that are managed or co-managed by us that are
complementary to our business of investing in middle market
companies. Through managed funds, we have the opportunity to
invest in the funds and earn returns from those investments, to
earn fees on the funds under management and to co-invest
alongside these funds, thereby expanding our investment capital
base. At June 30, 2008, we had approximately
$5 billion in committed private investment capital under
our management, which includes the Unitranche Fund LLC, the
Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund, L.P., Knightsbridge CLO
2007-1 Ltd.,
Knightsbridge CLO
2008-1 Ltd.
and AGILE Fund I, LLC (collectively, the “Managed
Funds”). See “Managed Funds” below for further
discussion.
In aggregate, including the total assets on our balance sheet
and capital committed to our Managed Funds, we have
approximately $10 billion in managed capital.
In addition to the funds we already manage or co-manage, we are
pursuing additional managed fund opportunities. These potential
funds are focused on all levels of a middle market
company’s capital structure, from senior debt through
equity capital. By growing our privately managed capital base,
we are seeking to diversify our sources of capital, leverage our
core investment expertise and increase fees and other income
from asset management activities. There can be no assurance that
these new fund raising initiatives will result in additional
funds under management.
We are also interested in expanding our origination platform
through acquisitions, including acquisitions of other platforms,
portfolios or financial services companies, including other
business development companies.
Given the current higher cost of our equity capital, in addition
to recycling lower-yielding assets and pursuing managed funds to
expand our managed capital base, we have been analyzing the
efficiency of our business operations to identify cost savings.
As a result of this analysis, we believe that we can reduce
costs by working more efficiently without limiting our
investment capacity or portfolio oversight. We will consolidate
our investment execution activities to our headquarters in
Washington, DC and our office in New York in an effort to
maximize our efficiencies; we will continue to maintain our Los
Angeles and Chicago offices for business development activities.
As we transition and consolidate our operations, we will be
reducing our headcount by approximately 30 employees in the
third quarter of 2008. See “Results of
Operations — Operating Expenses” for a discussion
of the impact of this staff reduction on employee compensation
expense. While we have currently identified certain cost
savings, we do not expect to have cost savings where we see
opportunities to grow our business, for example in our asset
management activities.
76
Because we are a regulated investment company for tax purposes,
we intend to distribute substantially all of our annual taxable
income available for distribution as dividends to our
shareholders. See “Other Matters” and “Dividends
and Distributions” below.

Our investment activity is primarily focused on making long-term
investments in the debt and equity of primarily private middle
market companies. We intend to take a balanced approach to
private equity investing that emphasizes a complementary mix of
debt investments and buyout investments. The combination of
these two types of investments provides current interest and
related portfolio income and the potential for future capital
gains.
Debt investments may include senior loans, unitranche debt (an
investment that combines both senior and subordinated financing,
generally in a first lien position), or subordinated debt (with
or without equity features). The junior debt that we invest in
that is lower in repayment priority than senior debt is also
known as mezzanine debt. Equity investments may include a
minority equity stake in connection with a debt investment or a
substantial equity stake in connection with a buyout
transaction. In a buyout transaction, we generally invest in
senior and/or subordinated debt and equity (preferred and/or
voting or non-voting common) where our equity ownership
represents a significant portion of the equity, but may or may
not represent a controlling interest.
We may also invest in funds that are managed or co-managed by us
that are complementary to our business of investing in middle
market companies, such as the Managed Funds discussed below.
Investments in funds may provide current interest and related
portfolio income, including management fees.

| (2) | Unitranche debt is an investment that combines both senior and subordinated financing, generally in a first lien position. The yield on a unitranche investment reflects the blended yield of senior and subordinated debt. |
| (3) | Subordinated debt investments for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and year ended December 31, 2007, included $41.1 million and $45.3 million, respectively, in investments in the bonds of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Certain of these CLOs are managed by us or by Callidus Capital Corporation (Callidus), a portfolio company controlled by us. These CLOs primarily invest in senior corporate loans. |
| (4) | CLO equity investments included preferred shares/income notes of CLOs that primarily invest in senior corporate loans. Certain of these CLOs are managed by us or by Callidus. |
| (5) | Equity investments for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, included $19.1 million and $31.8 million, respectively, invested in the Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund, L.P. See “Managed Funds” below. |
79
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we made private
finance investments totaling $591.8 million. Our focus in
2008 has generally been on higher return junior capital
investments. Senior loans funded by us are generally funded with
the intent to sell the loan or for the portfolio company to
refinance the loan at some point in the future as discussed
below. Investments in unitranche debt have been lower than
historical fundings as a result of the establishment of the
Unitranche Fund LLC (Unitranche Fund) in the fourth quarter
of 2007. Unitranche loans sourced by us are generally referred
to the Unitranche Fund. In the first half of 2008, we invested
$93.8 million in the Unitranche Fund, which supported its
closing of six investments totaling $530 million. The 10.9%
yield on the Unitranche Fund represents the contractual coupon
(LIBOR plus 7.5%) earned on the subordinated certificates and
excludes any return from potential future excess cash flows from
portfolio earnings available to the subordinated certificate
holders and from related structuring fees and management and
sourcing fees. We currently estimate that the aggregate internal
rate of return on our investment in the Unitranche Fund may be
in the mid-teens to low twenty percent. However, there can be no
assurance that such returns will be achieved. See “Managed
Funds — Unitranche Fund LLC” below.
We generally fund new investments using cash. In addition, we
may acquire securities in exchange for our common equity. Also,
we may acquire new securities through the reinvestment of
previously accrued interest and dividends in debt or equity
securities, or the current reinvestment of interest and dividend
income through the receipt of a debt or equity security
(payment-in-kind income). From time to time we may opt to
reinvest accrued interest receivable in a new debt or equity
security in lieu of receiving such interest in cash.
We may underwrite or arrange senior loans related to our
portfolio investments or for other companies that are not in our
portfolio. When we underwrite or arrange senior loans, we may
earn a fee for such activities. Senior loans underwritten or
arranged by us may be funded by us at closing. When these senior
loans are closed, we may fund all or a portion of the
underwritten commitment pending sale of the loan to other
investors, which may include loan sales to Callidus Capital
Corporation (Callidus), a portfolio company controlled by us, or
funds managed by Callidus or by us, including the Allied Capital
Senior Debt Fund, L.P., Knightsbridge CLO 2007-1 Ltd. and
Knightsbridge CLO 2008-1 Ltd. (discussed below). After
completion of loan sales, we may retain a position in these
senior loans. We generally earn a fee on the senior loans we
underwrite or arrange whether or not we fund the underwritten
commitment. In addition, we may fund most or all of the debt and
equity capital upon the closing of certain buyout transactions,
which may include investments in lower-yielding senior debt.
Subsequent to the closing, the portfolio company may refinance
all or a portion of the lower-yielding senior debt, which would
reduce our investment. Principal collections include repayments
of senior debt funded by us that was subsequently sold by us or
refinanced or repaid by the portfolio companies.
We are currently focused on selling or encouraging the
recapitalization or refinancing of some of our lower yielding
debt investments. We may offer to sell loans or debt securities
to one or more of our Managed Funds and portfolio companies may
refinance their debt through a Managed Fund. See “Managed
Funds” below. Principal collections related to investment
repayments or sales were $580.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, which included $294.0 million sold to Managed
Funds.

Investments in Collateralized Loan Obligations and
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CLO/CDO
Assets). At both June 30, 2008, and

| (2) | Included in private finance subordinated debt above. |
81
The CLO and CDO issuances in which we have invested are
primarily invested in senior corporate loans. Certain of these
funds are managed by Callidus Capital, our portfolio company,
and certain of these funds are managed by us through a
wholly-owned subsidiary. See also Note 3,
“Portfolio” from our Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1.
The initial yields on the cost basis of the CLO preferred shares
and income notes are based on the estimated future cash flows
expected to be paid to these CLO classes from the underlying
collateral assets. As each CLO preferred share or income note
ages, the estimated future cash flows are updated based on the
estimated performance of the underlying collateral assets, and
the respective yield on the cost basis is adjusted as necessary.
As future cash flows are subject to uncertainties and
contingencies that are difficult to predict and are subject to
future events that may alter current assumptions, no assurance
can be given that the anticipated yields to maturity will be
achieved.
The CLO/CDO Assets in which we have invested are junior in
priority for payment of interest and principal to the more
senior notes issued by the CLOs and CDO. Cash flow from the
underlying collateral assets in the CLOs and CDO is generally
allocated first to the senior bonds in order of priority, then
any remaining cash flow is generally distributed to the
preferred shareholders and income note holders. To the extent
there are defaults and unrecoverable losses on the underlying
collateral assets that result in reduced cash flows, the
preferred shares/income notes will bear this loss first and then
the subordinated bonds would bear any loss after the preferred
shares/income notes. At both June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, the face value of the CLO/CDO Assets
held by us was subordinate to as much as 94% of the face value
of the securities outstanding in these CLOs and CDO.
At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the
underlying collateral assets of these CLO and CDO issuances,
consisting primarily of senior corporate loans, were issued by
618 issuers and 671 issuers, respectively, and had balances
as follows:

Beginning in the third quarter of 2007 through the first quarter
of 2008, market yields for CLO securities increased. As the
market yields for our investments in CLO preferred shares/income
notes increased, the fair value of certain of our investments in
these assets decreased. In the second quarter of 2008, market
yields for CLO securities began to decrease slightly from the
first quarter 2008 levels. At June 30, 2008, the market
yields used to value our preferred shares/income notes were 20%
to 22%, as compared to 22% to 23% at March 31, 2008. Net
change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008, included a net increase
of $8.4 million and a net decrease of $2.8 million,
respectively, related to our investments in CLO/CDO Assets. We
received
third-party
valuation assistance for our investments in the CLO/CDO Assets
in each quarter of 2007 and in the first two quarters of 2008.
See “Results of Operations — Valuation
Methodology — Private Finance” below for further
discussion of the third-party valuation assistance we received.

$327.8 million at cost and $9.0 thousand at value,
after the effect of unrealized depreciation of
$327.8 million. See “Results of Operations, Valuation
of Ciena Capital LLC” for a
82
discussion of the determination of the value of Ciena at
June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, our investment in
Ciena totaled $327.8 million at cost and $68.6 million
at value, after the effect of unrealized depreciation of
$259.2 million.
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation included
depreciation on our investment in Ciena of $68.6 million
and $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. See “Results of Operations,
Valuation of Ciena Capital LLC” below.
Total interest and related portfolio income earned from our
investment in Ciena for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, was as follows:

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we placed our investment in
Ciena’s 25% Class A equity interests on non-accrual
status. As a result, there was no interest income from our
investment in Ciena for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007. In consideration for providing a guaranty on
Ciena’s revolving credit facility and standby letters of
credit (discussed below), we earned fees of $2.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which were included
in fees and other income. These fees were $5.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2007. Ciena has not yet paid
the $5.4 million in such fees earned by us during 2007, and
at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, such fees
were included as a receivable in other assets. We considered
this outstanding receivable in our valuation of Ciena at
June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007. We did not
accrue the fees earned from Ciena for providing the guaranty and
standby letters of credit for the six months ended June 30,
2008.
We guarantee Ciena’s revolving credit facility that matures
in March 2009. On January 30, 2008, Ciena completed an
amendment of the terms of its revolving credit facility, which
reduced the level of commitments from the lenders under the
facility, increased our unconditional guaranty, and, among other
things, amended certain financial and other covenants. Ciena had
commitments from the lenders under the facility of
$400 million at June 30, 2008, with reductions in
total commitments to $375 million at July 31, 2008,
and to $325 million by December 31, 2008. Under the
amended facility, our unconditional guarantee increased from 60%
to 100% of the total obligations under this facility (consisting
of principal, letters of credit issued under the facility,
accrued interest, and other fees). The guaranty of the Ciena
revolving credit facility can be called by the lenders in the
event of a default, which includes the occurrence of any event
of default under our revolving credit facility, subject to grace
periods in certain cases. The terms of the facility and guaranty
prohibit cash payments from Ciena to us, including payments for
interest, guarantee fees, management fees, and dividends. At
June 30, 2008, the principal amount outstanding on
Ciena’s revolving credit facility was $332.0 million
and letters of credit issued under the facility were
$2.0 million. The total obligation guaranteed by us at
June 30, 2008, was $336.3 million.
At June 30, 2008, we had provided standby letters of credit
totaling $104.1 million in connection with term
securitization transactions completed by Ciena.
Ciena relies on the asset-backed securitization market to
finance its loan origination activity. That financing source
continues to be unreliable in the current capital markets, and
as a result, Ciena has substantially curtailed loan origination
activity, including loan originations under the SBA’s 7(a)
Guaranteed Loan Program. Ciena continues to reposition its
business. However, there is an inherent risk in this
repositioning and we continue to work with Ciena on
restructuring. Ciena maintains two non-recourse securitization
warehouse facilities, both of which have matured. Ciena is
currently working with the warehouse providers. There is no
assurance that Ciena will be able to refinance these facilities
in the loan securitization market. We have issued performance
guaranties whereby we have agreed to indemnify the warehouse
providers for any damages, losses, liabilities and related costs
and expenses that they may incur as a result of Ciena’s
failure to perform any of its obligations as loan originator,
loan seller or loan servicer under the warehouse securitizations.
83
The Office of the Inspector General of the SBA (OIG) and
the United States Secret Service are conducting ongoing
investigations of allegedly fraudulently obtained SBA guaranteed
loans issued by Ciena. Specifically, on or about January 9,
2007, Ciena became aware of an indictment captioned as the
United States v. Harrington, No. 2:06-CR-20662 pending in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan. The indictment alleged that a former Ciena employee in
the Detroit office engaged in the fraudulent origination of
loans guaranteed, in substantial part, by the SBA. We understand
that Ciena is working cooperatively with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office and the investigating agencies with
respect to this matter. On October 1, 2007, the former
Ciena employee pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to
fraudulently originate SBA-guaranteed loans and one count of
making a false statement before a grand jury.
On March 6, 2007, Ciena entered into an agreement with the
SBA. According to the agreement, Ciena remains a preferred
lender in the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program and retains the
ability to sell loans into the secondary market. As part of this
agreement, Ciena immediately paid approximately $10 million
to the SBA to cover amounts paid by the SBA with respect to some
of the SBA-guaranteed loans that have been the subject of the
charges by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern
District of Michigan against Mr. Harrington. Ciena also
entered into an escrow agreement with the SBA and an escrow
agent in which Ciena has deposited $10 million with the
escrow agent for any additional payments Ciena may be obligated
to pay to the SBA in the future under the agreement. During the
term of the agreement, any loans originated by Ciena that will
be sold into the secondary market or loans that default after
having been sold into the secondary market will be reviewed by
an independent third party selected by the SBA prior to the sale
of such loans into the secondary market or prior to
reimbursement by the SBA for loans repurchased by Ciena. Ciena
and the SBA are currently in disagreement regarding the
operation of this agreement, particularly regarding the
repurchase obligations of defaulted loans that are subject to
third party review. Ciena is currently working with the SBA to
try to resolve their differences with respect to this agreement.
Ciena remains subject to SBA rules and regulations and as a
result may be required to make additional payments to the SBA in
the ordinary course of business.
To reduce outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities and
to reposition its loan portfolio, Ciena has sold certain loans.
In the future, Ciena may seek to sell additional loans,
including loans from its SBA 7(a) portfolio. Under SBA rules and
regulations, sales involving the SBA 7(a) portfolio generally
require advance approval by the SBA.
As an SBA lender, Ciena is also subject to other SBA and OIG
audits, investigations, and reviews. In addition, the Office of
the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is
conducting an investigation of Ciena’s lending practices
under the Business and Industry Loan (B&I) program. The OIG
and the U.S. Department of Justice are also conducting a civil
investigation of Ciena’s lending practices in various
jurisdictions. These investigations, audits and reviews are
ongoing.
On or about January 16, 2007, Ciena (f/k/a Business Loan
Express, LLC) and its subsidiary Business Loan Center LLC
(BLC) became aware of a lawsuit titled, United States, ex
rel James R. Brickman and Greenlight Capital, Inc. v. Business
Loan Express LLC f/k/a Business Loan Express, Inc.; Business
Loan Center LLC f/k/a Business Loan Center, Inc.; Robert
Tannenhauser; Matthew McGee; and George Harrigan, 05-CV-3147
(JEC). The complaint includes allegations arising under the
False Claims Act and relating to alleged fraud in connection
with SBA guarantees on shrimp vessel loans. On December 18,
2007, the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Georgia dismissed all claims in this matter. The plaintiffs
are appealing the dismissal.
These investigations, audits, reviews, and litigation have had
and may continue to have a material adverse impact on Ciena and,
as a result, could continue to negatively affect our financial
results. We have considered Ciena’s current regulatory
issues, ongoing investigations, litigation, and the
repositioning of its business in performing the valuation of
Ciena at June 30, 2008. See “Results of
Operations — Valuation of Ciena Capital LLC”
below. We are monitoring the situation.
Mercury Air Centers, Inc. At
June 30, 2007, our investment in Mercury Air Centers, Inc.
(Mercury) totaled $85.3 million at cost and
$320.1 million at value, which included unrealized
appreciation of $234.8 million. In April 2004, we completed
the purchase of a majority ownership in Mercury.
84
In August 2007, we completed the sale of our majority equity
interest in Mercury. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
we realized a gain of $262.4 million, subject to
post-closing adjustments. In the second quarter of 2008, we
realized an additional gain of $2.6 million resulting from
these post-closing adjustments. In addition, we were repaid
approximately $51 million of subordinated debt outstanding
to Mercury at closing.
Mercury owned and operated fixed base operations generally under
long-term leases from local airport authorities, which consisted
of terminal and hangar complexes that serviced the needs of the
general aviation community. Mercury was headquartered in
Richmond Heights, OH.
Total interest and related portfolio income earned from our
investment in Mercury for the six months ended June 30,
2007, was as follows:

The weighted average yield is computed as of the balance sheet date. Interest-bearing investments for the commercial real estate finance portfolio include all investments except for real estate owned and equity interests. |
At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding funding commitments
related to the commercial real estate portfolio of
$38.4 million, and commitments in the form of standby
letters of credit and guarantees related to equity interests of
$7.5 million.
Managed
Funds
We manage funds that invest in the debt and equity of primarily
private middle market companies in a variety of industries
(together, the Managed Funds). As of June 30, 2008, the
funds that we manage had total committed
85
capital of approximately $5 billion and total assets of
approximately $1.9 billion. During 2007, we established the
Unitranche Fund LLC and the Allied Capital Senior Debt
Fund, L.P. In the first quarter of 2008, we formed the AGILE
Fund I, LLC and assumed the management of Knightsbridge CLO
2007-1 Ltd. In the second quarter of 2008, we formed
Knightsbridge CLO 2008-1 Ltd. Our responsibilities to the
Managed Funds may include origination, underwriting, and
portfolio monitoring and development services consistent with
the activities that we perform for our portfolio. Each of the
Managed Funds may separately invest in the debt or equity of a
company depending on each fund’s investment strategy and
other factors. Our portfolio may include debt or equity
investments issued by the same portfolio company as investments
held by one or more Managed Funds, and these investments may be
senior, pari passu or junior to the debt and equity investments
held by us. We may or may not participate in investments made by
investment funds managed by us or one of our affiliates. See
“Risk Factors — There are potential conflicts of
interest between us and the funds managed by us” under
Item 1A.
Unitranche Fund LLC. In
December 2007, we formed the Unitranche Fund LLC
(Unitranche Fund), which we co-manage with an affiliate of
General Electric Capital Corporation (GE). The Unitranche Fund
is a private fund that generally focuses on making first lien
unitranche loans to middle market companies with EBITDA of at
least $15 million. The Unitranche Fund may invest up to
$270 million in a single borrower. For financing needs
greater than $270 million, we and GE may jointly underwrite
additional financing for a total unitranche financing of up to
$500 million. Allied Capital, GE and the Unitranche Fund
may co-invest in a single borrower, with the Unitranche Fund
holding at least a majority of the issuance. GE has committed
$3.075 billion to the Unitranche Fund consisting of
$3.0 billion of senior notes and $0.075 billion of
subordinated certificates and we have committed
$525.0 million of subordinated certificates. The Unitranche
Fund is capitalized as transactions are completed. At
June 30, 2008, the Unitranche Fund had total assets of
approximately $532 million, and our investment in the
Unitranche Fund totaled $94.6 million at cost and at value.
The Unitranche Fund is governed by an investment committee with
equal representation from Allied Capital and GE and both Allied
Capital and GE provide origination, underwriting and portfolio
management services to the Unitranche Fund and its affiliates.
We earn a management and sourcing fee totaling 0.375% per
annum of managed assets. In addition to the management and
sourcing fee, we earn structuring fees on investments made by
the Unitranche Fund. See “Results of Operations —
Total Interest and Related Portfolio Income” below.
Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund,
L.P. The Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund,
L.P. (ACSDF) is a private fund that generally invests in senior,
unitranche and second lien debt. ACSDF has closed on
$125 million in equity capital commitments and had total
assets of $501 million at June 30, 2008. AC Corp, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, is the investment manager and Callidus
acts as special manager to ACSDF. A subsidiary of AC Corp
is the general partner of ACSDF, and AC Corp serves as
collateral manager to a warehouse financing vehicle associated
with ACSDF. AC Corp will earn a management fee of up to 2% per
annum of the net asset value of ACSDF and will pay Callidus 25%
of that management fee to compensate Callidus for its role as
special manager.
We are a special limited partner in ACSDF, which is a portfolio
investment, and have committed and funded $31.8 million to
ACSDF. At June 30, 2008, our investment in ACSDF totaled
$31.8 million at cost and $34.4 million at value. As a
special limited partner, we will earn an incentive allocation to
the extent of 20% of ACSDF’s annual net income earned in
excess of a specified minimum return, subject to certain
performance benchmarks. The value of our investment in ACSDF is
based on the net asset value of ACSDF, which reflects the
capital invested plus our allocation of the net earnings of
ACSDF, including the incentive allocation.
We may offer to sell loans to ACSDF or the warehouse financing
vehicle. ACSDF or the warehouse financing vehicle may purchase
loans from us. In connection with ACSDF’s formation in June
2007 and during the second half of 2007, we sold
$224.2 million of seasoned assets with a weighted average
yield of 10.0% to a warehouse financing vehicle associated with
ACSDF. In the first half of 2008, we sold $72.3 million of
seasoned assets with a weighted average yield of 9.2% to the
warehouse financing vehicle. ACSDF also purchases loans from
other third parties.
86
Knightsbridge CLO
2007-1
Ltd. On March 31, 2008, we assumed,
through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the management of
Knightsbridge CLO
2007-1 Ltd.
(Knightsbridge 2007), which invests primarily in middle market
senior loans.
At June 30, 2008, Knightsbridge 2007 had total assets of
approximately $520 million and our investment in this CLO
totaled $55.9 million at cost and $51.1 million at
value. We earn a management fee of up to 0.6% per annum of the
assets of Knightsbridge 2007, up to 7.5% of which will be paid
to an unaffiliated third party in its capacity as special equity
holder. In addition, Callidus may assist us in the management of
Knightsbridge 2007 and we may pay Callidus a portion of the
management fee earned for this assistance.
We may offer to sell loans to Knightsbridge 2007 and
Knightsbridge 2007 may purchase loans from us or from other
third parties. During the first half of 2008, we sold loans
totaling $64.9 million with a weighted average yield of
8.1% to Knightsbridge 2007.
Knightsbridge CLO
2008-1
Ltd. In June 2008, we formed Knightsbridge
2008-1 Ltd.
(Knightsbridge 2008). Upon its formation, Knightsbridge 2008
completed its initial purchase of assets from a third party. We
manage Knightsbridge 2008 through a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Knightsbridge 2008 invests primarily in middle market senior
loans. We may offer to sell loans to Knightsbridge 2008 and
Knightsbridge 2008 may purchase loans from us or from other
third parties.
At June 30, 2008, Knightsbridge 2008 had total assets of
approximately $214 million and our investment in this CLO
totaled $63.6 million at cost and at value. We earn a
management fee of up to 0.6% per annum of the assets of
Knightsbridge 2008, up to 10% of which will be paid to an
unaffiliated third party in its capacity as special equity
holder. In addition, Callidus may assist us in the management of
Knightsbridge 2008 and we may pay Callidus a portion of the
management fee earned for this assistance.
AGILE Fund I, LLC. In January
2008, we entered into an investment agreement with the Goldman
Sachs Private Equity Group, part of Goldman Sachs Asset
Management (Goldman Sachs).
As part of the investment agreement, we agreed to sell a
pro-rata strip of private equity and debt investments to AGILE
Fund I, LLC (AGILE), a private fund in which a fund managed by
Goldman Sachs owns substantially all of the interests, for a
total transaction value of $167 million. The sales of the assets
closed in the first quarter of 2008. The sale to AGILE included
13.7% of our equity investments in 23 of our buyout portfolio
companies and 36 of our minority equity portfolio companies for
a total purchase price of $104 million, which resulted in a
net realized gain of $8.5 million (subsequent to
post-closing adjustments) and dividend income of
$5.4 million. In addition, we sold approximately
$63 million in debt investments, which represented 7.3% of
our unitranche, second lien and subordinated debt investments in
the buyout investments included in the equity sale. AGILE
generally has the right to co-invest in its proportional share
of any future follow-on investment opportunities presented by
the companies in its portfolio.
We are the managing member of AGILE, and are entitled to an
incentive allocation subject to certain performance benchmarks.
We own the remaining interests in AGILE not held by Goldman
Sachs. At June 30, 2008, AGILE had total assets of
approximately $155 million and our investment in AGILE
totaled $0.8 million at cost and at value.
In addition, pursuant to the investment agreement Goldman Sachs
has committed to invest at least $125 million in future
investment vehicles managed by us and will have future
opportunities to invest in our affiliates, or vehicles managed
by them, and to coinvest alongside us in the future, subject to
various terms and conditions.
As part of this transaction, we sold ten venture capital and
private equity limited partnership investments for approximately
$28 million to a fund managed by Goldman Sachs, which assumed
the $5.3 million of unfunded commitments related to these
limited partnership investments. The sales of these limited
partnership investments closed in the first half of 2008, and
resulted in a net realized loss of $7.0 million (subsequent
to post-closing adjustments) for the six months ended
June 30, 2008.

PORTFOLIO ASSET
QUALITY
Portfolio by Grade. We employ a grading
system for our entire portfolio. Grade 1 is used for those
investments from which a capital gain is expected. Grade 2
is used for investments performing in accordance with plan.
Grade 3 is used for investments that require closer
monitoring; however, no loss of investment return or principal
is expected. Grade 4 is used for investments that are in
workout and for which some loss of current investment return is
expected, but no loss of principal is expected. Grade 5 is
used for investments that are in workout and for which some loss
of principal is expected.
At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, our portfolio
was graded as follows:

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary
substantially from period to period resulting primarily from
changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new
investment, repayment, and exit activity, changes in the grade
of investments to reflect our expectation of performance, and
changes in investment values. We expect that a number of
investments will be in the Grades 4 or 5 categories from
time to time. Part of the private equity business is working
with troubled portfolio companies to improve their businesses
and protect our investment. The number and amount of investments
included in Grade 4 and 5 may fluctuate from period to
period. We continue to follow our historical practice of working
with portfolio companies in order to recover the maximum amount
of our investment.
Total Grade 4 and 5 portfolio assets were $77.9 million and
$202.7 million, respectively, or were 1.7% and 4.2%,
respectively, of the total portfolio value at June 30,
2008, and December 31, 2007. Grade 4 and 5 assets
include loans, debt securities, and equity securities. The
decrease in total Grade 4 and 5 portfolio assets from
December 31, 2007, to June 30, 2008, was primarily the
result of additional unrealized depreciation on the assets
classified as Grade 4 and 5. At June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, our Class A equity interests in
Ciena, valued at $9.0 thousand and $68.6 million,
respectively, were classified as Grade 5 and Grade 4,
respectively, and our Class B and Class C equity
interests, which had no value, were classified as Grade 5
at both periods. See “— Private
Finance — Ciena Capital LLC” above.
Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual
Status. In general, interest is not accrued
on loans and debt securities if we have doubt about interest
collection or where the enterprise value of the portfolio
company may not support further accrual. In addition, interest
may not accrue on loans to portfolio companies that are more
than 50% owned by us depending on such company’s capital
requirements. To the extent interest payments are received on a
loan that is not accruing interest, we may use such payments to
reduce our cost basis in the investment in lieu of recognizing
interest income.

December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, these Class A equity interests were
classified as Grade 5 and Grade 4, respectively. See
“— Private Finance — Ciena Capital
LLC” above.
Loans and Debt Securities Over 90 Days
Delinquent. Loans and debt securities greater
than 90 days delinquent at value at June 30, 2008, and

Loans and debt securities over 90 days delinquent include
our investment in the Class A equity interests of Ciena,
which became over 90 days delinquent in the first quarter
of 2007. At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the
Class A equity interests were $9.0 thousand or 0.0% of
the total portfolio at value and $68.6 million or 1.4% of
the total portfolio at value, respectively. These equity
interests were placed on
non-accrual
during the fourth quarter of 2006. See “— Private
Finance, Ciena Capital, LLC” above.
The amount of the portfolio that is on non-accrual status or
greater than 90 days delinquent may vary from period to
period. Loans and debt securities on non-accrual status and over
90 days delinquent should not be added together as they are
two separate measures of portfolio asset quality. Loans and debt
securities that are in both categories (i.e., on non-accrual
status and over 90 days delinquent) totaled
$23.7 million and $149.1 million at June 30,
2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.
PORTFOLIO
RETURNS
Since our merger on December 31, 1997, through
June 30, 2008, our combined aggregate cash flow internal
rate of return, or IRR, has been approximately 21% for private
finance and real estate-related CMBS/CDO
89
investments exited during this period. The IRR is calculated
using the aggregate portfolio cash flow for all investments
exited over this period and does not reflect any unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on such investments prior to exit.
For investments exited during this period, we invested capital
totaling $4.8 billion. The weighted average holding period
of these investments was 39 months. Investments are
considered to be exited when the original investment objective
has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash
consideration upon the repayment of our debt investment or sale
of an equity investment, or through the determination that no
further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have
been realized. The aggregate cash flow IRR for private finance
investments was approximately 20% and for CMBS/CDO investments
was approximately 24% for the same period. The weighted average
holding period of the private finance and CMBS/CDO investments
was 49 months and 22 months, respectively, for the
same period. These IRR results represent historical results.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of future
results.
OTHER ASSETS AND
OTHER LIABILITIES
Other assets is primarily composed of fixed assets, prepaid
expenses, deferred financing and offering costs, and accounts
receivable, which includes amounts received in connection with
the sale of portfolio companies, including amounts held in
escrow, and other receivables from portfolio companies. At
June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, other assets
totaled $133.9 million and $157.9 million,
respectively. The decrease in other assets since year end 2007
was primarily the result of the March 2008 distribution of the
assets held in deferred compensation trusts, which totaled
$21.1 million at December 31, 2007.
Accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily composed of
the liabilities related to accrued interest, bonus and taxes,
including excise tax. At June 30, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, accounts payable and other liabilities
totaled $48.6 million and $153.3 million,
respectively. The decrease in accounts payable and other
liabilities since year end 2007 was primarily the result of the
termination of the deferred compensation plans in March 2008,
the liability for which totaled $52.5 million at
December 31, 2007. In addition, accounts payable and other
liabilities at December 31, 2007, were reduced by the
payment of liabilities related to accrued 2007 bonuses of
$40.1 million and excise tax of $16.0 million, offset
by an increase in liabilities in 2008 related to accrued bonuses
and excise tax totaling $10.7 million. Accrued interest
payable fluctuates from period to period depending on the amount
of debt outstanding and the contractual payment dates of the
interest on such debt.

The level of interest income, which includes interest paid in
cash and in kind, is directly related to the balance of the
interest-bearing investment portfolio outstanding during the
period and the weighted average yield of these investments. The
interest-bearing investments in the portfolio at value and the
yield on these investments at June 30, 2008 and 2007, were

| (1) | The weighted average yield on loans and debt securities is computed as the (a) annual stated interest on accruing loans and debt securities plus the annual amortization of loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount on accruing loans and debt securities less the annual amortization of loan origination costs, divided by (b) total interest-bearing investments at value. |
The weighted average yield on the
preferred shares/income notes of CLOs is calculated as the
(a) effective interest yield on the preferred shares/income
notes of CLOs, divided by (b) preferred shares/income notes
of CLOs at value.
The weighted average yield on the
subordinated certificates in the Unitranche Fund LLC is
computed as the (a) annual stated interest (LIBOR plus
7.5%) divided by (b) total investment at value. This yield
excludes any return from the potential future excess cash flows
from portfolio earnings available to the subordinated
certificate holders and from related structuring fees and
management and sourcing fees. See “— Fees and Other
Income” below.
The weighted average yields are
computed as of the balance sheet date.
Our interest income has increased period over period primarily
as a result of the growth in the interest-bearing portfolio and
improved overall yield on these investments. Interest-bearing
investments represented 81% as compared to 71% of the total
portfolio at value at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The weighted average yield varies from period to period based on
the current stated interest on interest-bearing investments, the
yield on interest-bearing investments funded, the yield on
amounts repaid, the amount of interest-bearing investments for
which interest is not accruing, changes in value of
interest-bearing investments and the mix of interest-bearing
92
investments in the portfolio, including the amount of
lower-yielding senior or unitranche debt in the portfolio at the
end of the period.
Interest income also includes the effective interest yield on
our investments in the preferred shares/income notes of CLOs.
Interest income from these investments has increased period over
period primarily as a result of the growth in these assets. The
weighted average yield on the preferred shares/income notes of
the CLOs at June 30, 2008, was 16.0%, as compared to 14.0%
at June 30, 2007.
The value and weighted average yield of the cash, U.S. Treasury
bills, money market and other securities was $228.8 million
and 1.4%, respectively, at June 30, 2008, and
$350.0 million and 5.1%, respectively, at June 30,
2007. As the capital markets became increasingly uncertain in
the first quarter of 2008, we moved our investments in money
market securities into cash and very short-term treasuries,
which drove the decrease in yield at June 30, 2008. See
“Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources”
below.
Dividend income results from the dividend yield on preferred
equity interests, if any, or the declaration of dividends by a
portfolio company on preferred or common equity interests.
Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was
$17.1 million as compared to $1.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase period over period
was primarily a result of a $7.1 million dividend received
in connection with the recapitalization of Norwesco, Inc., a
portfolio company, and $5.4 million of dividends received
in connection with the sale to AGILE Fund I, LLC during the
first half of 2008. See “Portfolio and Investment
Activity — Managed Funds” above. Dividend income
will vary from period to period depending upon the timing and
amount of dividends that are declared or paid by a portfolio
company on preferred or common equity interests.
Fees and Other Income. Fees and other income
primarily include fees related to financial structuring,
diligence, transaction services, management and consulting
services to portfolio companies and Managed Funds, commitments,
guarantees, and other services and loan prepayment premiums. As
a business development company, we are required to make
significant managerial assistance available to the companies in
our investment portfolio. Managerial assistance includes, but is
not limited to, management and consulting services related to
corporate finance, marketing, human resources, personnel and
board member recruiting, business operations, corporate
governance, risk management and other general business matters.
Fees and other income for the three and six months ended

| (2) | See “Portfolio and Investment Activity — Managed Funds” above. |
Fees and other income are generally related to specific
transactions or services and therefore may vary substantially
from period to period depending on the level of investment
activity and types of services provided and the level of assets
in Managed Funds for which we earn management or other fees.
Loan origination fees that represent yield enhancement on a loan
are capitalized and amortized into interest income over the life
of the loan.
93
Structuring and diligence fees for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, included $5.4 million and
$7.2 million, respectively, earned by us in connection with
investments made by the Unitranche Fund, LLC. See “Managed
Funds” above. The remainder of the structuring and
diligence fees primarily relate to the level of new investment
originations, which were lower in 2008 than 2007. Private
finance investments funded were $317.2 million and
$591.8 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to
$473.6 million and $643.7 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
While the scheduled maturities of private finance and commercial
real estate loans generally range from five to ten years, it is
not unusual for our borrowers to refinance or pay off their
debts to us ahead of schedule. Therefore, we generally structure
our loans to require a prepayment premium for the first three to
five years of the loan. Accordingly, the amount of prepayment
premiums will vary depending on the level of repayments and the
age of the loans at the time of repayment.
See “— Portfolio and Investment Activity”
above for further information regarding our total interest and
related portfolio income for Ciena and Mercury.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses
include interest, employee, employee stock options, and
administrative expenses.
Interest Expense. The fluctuations in interest
expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, were primarily attributable to changes in the level of
our borrowings under various notes payable and our revolving
line of credit as well as an increase in our weighted average
cost of debt capital. Our borrowing activity and weighted
average cost of debt, including fees and debt financing costs,
at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, were as follows:

In addition, interest expense included interest paid to the
Internal Revenue Service related to installment sale gains
totaling $2.0 million and $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and
$3.8 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended

expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, is estimated
to be a total of $7.8 million. See “Dividends and

Salaries and employee benefits include an accrual for employee
bonuses, which are generally paid annually after the completion
of the fiscal year. The quarterly accrual is based upon an
estimate of annual bonuses and is subject to change. Given the
current market environment discussed above (see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis —
Overview”), we have decided to reduce our 2008 bonus
accrual to a total of less than $15 million. Comparatively,
the 2007 bonus pool was $40 million. Salaries and employee
benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were
$12.7 million lower than the same period in 2007 and for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $11.4 million
lower than the same period in 2007, primarily as a result of the
reduction to the 2008 bonus pool. Salaries and employee benefits
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, included a
reversal of previously accrued bonuses of $3.8 million
versus an accrual of $11.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. Accrued bonuses totaled
$6.5 million and $21.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The actual
amount of the current year bonuses will be finalized by the
Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors at the end of
the year.
The IPA is an incentive compensation program for certain
officers and is generally determined annually at the beginning
of each year but may be adjusted throughout the year. Through
December 31, 2007, the IPA was deposited in a deferred
compensation trust in four equal installments, generally on a
quarterly basis, in the form of cash. The trustee was required
to use the cash to purchase shares of our common stock in the
open market.
Through December 31, 2007, the IPA amounts were contributed
into the trust and invested in our common stock. The accounts of
the trust were consolidated with our accounts. The common stock
was classified as common stock held in deferred compensation
trust in the accompanying financial statements and the deferred
compensation obligation, which represented the amount owed to
the employees, was included in other liabilities. Changes in the
value of our common stock held in the deferred compensation
trust were not recognized. However, the liability was marked to
market with a corresponding charge or credit to employee
compensation expense. On March 18, 2008, prior to the
distribution of the assets held in the trust (see below), we
were required to record a final mark to market of the liability
with a corresponding credit to employee compensation expense.
In December 2007, our Board of Directors made a determination
that it was in Allied Capital’s best interest to terminate
our deferred compensation arrangements. The Board of
Directors’ decision was primarily in response to increased
complexity resulting from recent changes in the regulation of
deferred compensation arrangements. The Board of Directors
resolved that the accounts under these Plans would be
distributed to participants in full on March 18, 2008, the
termination and distribution date, or as soon as was reasonably
practicable thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of
each of these Plans.
The accounts under the deferred compensation arrangements
totaled $52.5 million at December 31, 2007. The
balances on the termination date were distributed to
participants in March 2008 subsequent to the termination
date, in accordance with the transition rule for payment
elections under Section 409A of the Code. Distributions
from the plans were made in cash or shares of our common stock,
net of required withholding taxes. The distribution of the
accounts under the deferred compensation arrangements will
result in a tax deduction for 2008, subject to the limitations
set by Section 162(m) of the Code for persons subject to such
section.
The IPB is distributed in cash to award recipients throughout
the year (beginning in February of each respective year) as long
as the recipient remains employed by us.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have
determined the IPA and the IPB for 2008; however, the
Compensation Committee may adjust the IPA or IPB as needed, or
make new awards as new officers are hired. For 2008, the
Compensation Committee has determined that the IPAs will be paid
in cash in two equal installments during the year, as long as
the recipient remains employed by us. If a recipient terminates
employment during the year, any remaining cash payments under
the IPA or IPB would be forfeited. After giving effect to the
headcount reduction and other hires and terminations in 2008,
the total IPA (excluding any mark to market benefit) and IPB for
2008 are currently estimated to be approximately
$8.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

As discussed above, we have decided to reduce our headcount by
about 30 employees in the third quarter of 2008. This
reduction in headcount will reduce employee expense after the
payment of severance costs. We estimate that total employee
expense will be approximately $33 million to
$35 million for the second half of 2008, excluding
approximately $3.4 million of severance costs related to
the headcount reduction in the third quarter of 2008.
Considering the headcount reduction and our current assessment
of business needs, we are currently estimating total employee
expense for the full year 2009 to be in the range of
$67 million to $72 million. The estimates for the
remainder of 2008 and for the full year 2009 are subject to
change as we see opportunities to add to our assets or our
assets under management or should other circumstances warrant
additional hiring or compensation adjustments. As such, our
actual costs may differ materially from these current estimates.
Stock Options Expense. Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Statement No. 123
(Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R)
using the modified prospective method of application, which
required us to recognize compensation costs on a prospective
basis beginning January 1, 2006. Under this method, the
unamortized cost of previously awarded options that were
unvested as of January 1, 2006, is recognized over the
remaining service period in the statement of operations
beginning in 2006, using the fair value amounts determined for
proforma disclosure under SFAS 123R. With respect to
options granted on or after January 1, 2006, compensation
cost based on estimated grant date fair value is recognized in
the consolidated statement of operations over the service
period. Our employee stock options are typically granted with
ratable vesting provisions, and we amortize the compensation
cost over the related service period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted options
of 0.5 million and 7.5 million, respectively. The
options vest ratably over a three-year period beginning on
June 30, 2009.
The stock option expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, was as follows:

In addition to employee stock option expense, administrative

months ended June 30, 2008, and $0.2 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, for options
granted to non-officer directors. Options granted to non-officer
directors vest on the grant date and therefore, the full expense
is recorded on the grant date.
We estimate that the employee-related stock option expense will
be approximately $13.1 million, $6.5 million, and
$4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2009, and 2010, respectively. This estimate may change if our
assumptions related to future option forfeitures change. This
estimate does not include any expense related to stock option
grants after June 30, 2008, as the fair value of those
stock options will be determined at the time of grant, and does
not include the effect of any forfeitures that may result from
the headcount reduction discussed above.
Administrative Expense. Administrative
expenses include legal and accounting fees, valuation assistance
fees, insurance premiums, the cost of leases for our
headquarters in Washington, DC, and our regional offices,
portfolio origination and development expenses, travel costs,
stock record expenses, directors’ fees and stock option
expense, and various other expenses.
Administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, were $12.9 million and $14.5 million,
respectively, and $22.0 million and $27.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
administrative expenses declined due to a reduction in
investigation and litigation costs, net of insurance
reimbursements, of $0.3 million and $4.0 million,
respectively. Administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, included costs of $1.4 million incurred
in the first quarter of 2007 to engage a third party to conduct
a review of Ciena’s internal control systems. See
“— Private

Finance, Ciena Capital LLC” above. In addition,
administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, included $2.5 million in placement fees
related to securing equity commitments to the Allied Capital
Senior Debt Fund, L.P.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Including Excise
Tax. Income tax expense (benefit) for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, was as

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, A.C. Corporation, is a
corporation subject to federal and state income taxes and
records a benefit or expense for income taxes as appropriate
based on its operating results in a given period.
Our excess taxable income carried over from 2007 plus our
estimated annual taxable income for 2008 currently exceeds our
estimated dividend distributions to shareholders in 2008,
accordingly, we expect to carry over excess taxable income
earned in 2008 for distribution in 2009. Therefore, we will
generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the
amount by which 98% of our annual taxable income exceeds the
distributions for the year. We have recorded an estimated excise
tax of $1.9 million and $4.2 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. See
“Dividends and Distributions.”
Realized Gains and Losses. Net realized
gains primarily result from the sale of equity securities
associated with certain private finance investments and the
realization of unamortized discount resulting from the sale and
early repayment of private finance loans and commercial mortgage
loans, offset by losses on investments. Net realized gains for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were

2008. In addition, realized losses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, included $1.5 million and
$7.0 million, respectively, (subsequent to post-closing
adjustments) related to the sale of certain venture capital and
private equity limited partnership investments to a fund managed
by Goldman Sachs. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, net realized gains and losses also included
net realized losses totaling $2.5 million and $3.1 million,
respectively, resulting from the sale of loans and debt
securities totaling $108.2 million and $137.2 million,

Change in Unrealized Appreciation or
Depreciation. We determine the value of each
investment in our portfolio on a quarterly basis, and changes in
value result in unrealized appreciation or depreciation being
recognized
99
in our statement of operations. Value, as defined in
Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act of 1940
(1940 Act), is (i) the market price for those securities
for which a market quotation is readily available and
(ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value is as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Since there
is typically no readily available market value for the
investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our
portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation
policy and the provisions of the 1940 Act and FASB Statement
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157 or
the Statement). We determine fair value to be the price that
would be received for an investment in a current sale, which
assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on
the measurement date. At June 30, 2008, portfolio
investments recorded at fair value using level 3 inputs (as
defined under the Statement) were approximately 91% of our total
assets. Because of the inherent uncertainty of determining the
fair value of investments that do not have a readily available
market quotation in an active market, the fair value of our
investments determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the
differences could be material.
There is no single approach for determining fair value in good
faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that
judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of
each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied
valuation process for the types of investments we make. Unlike
banks, we are not permitted to provide a general reserve for
anticipated loan losses. Instead, we are required to
specifically value each individual investment on a quarterly
basis. We will record unrealized depreciation on investments
when we determine that the fair value of a security is less than
its cost basis, and we will record unrealized appreciation when
we determine that the fair value is greater than its cost basis.
Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of
operations as net change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation.
As a business development company, we invest in illiquid
securities including debt and equity securities of portfolio
companies, CLO bonds and preferred shares/income notes, CDO
bonds and investment funds. The structure of each debt and
equity security is specifically negotiated to enable us to
protect our investment and maximize our returns. We include many
terms governing interest rate, repayment terms, prepayment
penalties, financial covenants, operating covenants, ownership
parameters, dilution parameters, liquidation preferences, voting
rights, and put or call rights. Our investments may be subject
to certain restrictions on resale and generally have no
established trading market.
Because of the type of investments that we make and the nature
of our business, our valuation process requires an analysis of
various factors. Our fair value methodology includes the
examination of, among other things, the underlying investment
performance, financial condition, and market changing events
that impact valuation.
Valuation Methodology. We adopted
SFAS 157 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of
2008. SFAS 157 requires us to assume that the portfolio
investment is to be sold in the principal market to market
participants, or in the absence of a principal market, 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. In accordance with the
Statement, we have considered our principal market, or the
market in which we exit our portfolio investments with the
greatest volume and level of activity.
We have determined that for our buyout investments, where we
have control or could gain control through an option or warrant
security, both the debt and equity securities of the portfolio
investment would exit in the merger and acquisition
(“M&A”) market as the principal market generally
through a sale or recapitalization of the portfolio company. We
believe that the in-use premise of value (as defined in
SFAS 157), which assumes the debt and equity securities are
sold together, is appropriate as this would provide maximum
proceeds to the seller. As a result, we will continue to use the
enterprise value methodology to determine the fair value of
these investments under SFAS 157. Enterprise value means
the entire value of the company to a market participant,
including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities
used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. Enterprise
value is determined using various factors, including cash flow
from operations of the portfolio company, multiples at which
private companies are bought and sold, and other pertinent
factors, such as recent offers to purchase a portfolio company,
100
recent transactions involving the purchase or sale of the
portfolio company’s equity securities, liquidation events,
or other events. We allocate the enterprise value to these
securities in order of the legal priority of the securities.
There is no one methodology to determine enterprise value and,
in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is best
expressed as a range of fair values. However, we must derive a
single estimate of enterprise value. To determine the enterprise
value of a portfolio company, we analyze its historical and
projected financial results. This financial and other
information is generally obtained from the portfolio companies,
and may represent unaudited, projected or pro forma financial
information. We generally require portfolio companies to provide
annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements, as
well as annual projections for the upcoming fiscal year.
Typically in the private equity business, companies are bought
and sold based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flow, net income,
revenues or, in limited instances, book value. The private
equity industry uses financial measures such as EBITDA or
EBITDAM (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation,
Amortization and, in some instances, Management fees) in order
to assess a portfolio company’s financial performance and
to value a portfolio company. EBITDA and EBITDAM are not
intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and such
information should not be considered as an alternative to net
income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of
performance prescribed by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. When using EBITDA to determine enterprise
value, we may adjust EBITDA for non-recurring items. Such
adjustments are intended to normalize EBITDA to reflect the
portfolio company’s earnings power. Adjustments to EBITDA
may include compensation to previous owners, acquisition,
recapitalization, or restructuring related items or one-time
non-recurring income or expense items.
In determining a multiple to use for valuation purposes, we
generally look to private merger and acquisition statistics, the
entry multiple for the transaction, discounted public trading
multiples or industry practices. In estimating a reasonable
multiple, we consider not only the fact that our portfolio
company may be a private company relative to a peer group of
public comparables, but we also consider the size and scope of
our portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses.
In some cases, the best valuation methodology may be a
discounted cash flow analysis based on future projections. If a
portfolio company is distressed, a liquidation analysis may
provide the best indication of enterprise value.
While we typically exit our securities upon the sale or
recapitalization of the portfolio company in the M&A
market, for investments in portfolio companies where we do not
have control or the ability to gain control through an option or
warrant security, we cannot typically control the exit of our
investment into the principal market (the M&A market). As a
result, in accordance with SFAS 157, we are required to
determine the fair value of these investments assuming a sale of
the individual investment in a hypothetical market to a
hypothetical market participant (the in-exchange premise of
value). We continue to perform an enterprise value analysis for
investments in this category to assess the credit risk of the
loan or debt security and to determine the fair value of our
equity investment in these portfolio companies. The determined
equity values are generally discounted when we have a minority
ownership position, restrictions on resale, specific concerns
about the receptivity of the capital markets to a specific
company at a certain time, or other factors. For loan and debt
securities, we perform a yield analysis assuming a hypothetical
current sale of the investment. The yield analysis requires us
to estimate the expected repayment date of the instrument and a
market participant’s required yield. Our estimate of the
expected repayment date of a loan or debt security is generally
shorter than the legal maturity of the instruments as our loans
have historically been repaid prior to the maturity date. The
yield analysis considers changes in interest rates and changes
in leverage levels of the loan or debt security as compared to
market interest rates and leverage levels. Assuming the credit
quality of the loan or debt security remains stable, we will use
the value determined by the yield analysis as the fair value for
that security. A change in the assumptions that we use to
estimate the fair value of our loans and 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 loan or debt security is in workout status, we may
consider other factors in determining the fair value of a loan
or debt security, including the value attributable to the loan
or debt security from the enterprise value of the portfolio
company or the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation
analysis.
101
Our equity investments in private debt and equity funds are
generally valued at such fund’s net asset value, unless
other factors lead to a determination of fair value at a
different amount. The value of our equity securities in public
companies for which quoted prices in an active market are
readily available is based on the closing public market price on
the measurement date.
The fair value of our CLO/CDO Assets is generally based on a
discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment,
re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical
experience and projected performance, economic factors, the
characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable
yields for similar bonds and preferred shares/ income notes,
when available. We recognize unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on our CLO/CDO Assets as comparable yields in the
market change
and/or based
on changes in estimated cash flows resulting from changes in
prepayment, re-investment or loss assumptions in the underlying
collateral pool, or changes in redemption assumptions for the
CLO/CDO Assets, if applicable. We determine the fair value of
our CLO/CDO Assets on an individual
security-by-security
basis. If we were to sell a group of these CLO/CDO Assets in a
pool in one or more transactions, the total value received for
that pool may be different than the sum of the fair values of
the individual assets.
We will record unrealized depreciation on investments when we
determine that the fair value of a security is less than its
cost basis, and will record unrealized appreciation when we
determine that the fair value is greater than its cost basis.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the values
determined at the measurement date may differ significantly from
the values that would have been used had a ready market existed
for the investments, and the differences could be material.
Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events
that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the
gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be
different than the values determined at the measurement date.
As a participant in the private equity business, we invest
primarily in private middle market companies for which there is
generally no publicly available information. Because of the
private nature of these businesses, there is a need to maintain
the confidentiality of the financial and other information that
we have for the private companies in our portfolio. We believe
that maintaining this confidence is important, as disclosure of
such information could disadvantage our portfolio companies and
could put us at a disadvantage in attracting new investments.
Therefore, we do not intend to disclose financial or other
information about our portfolio companies, unless required,
because we believe doing so may put them at an economic or
competitive disadvantage, regardless of our level of ownership
or control.
We work with third-party consultants to obtain assistance in
determining fair value for a portion of the private finance
portfolio each quarter. We work with these consultants to obtain
assistance as additional support in the preparation of our
internal valuation analysis. In addition, we may receive
third-party assessments of a particular private finance
portfolio company’s value in the ordinary course of
business, most often in the context of a prospective sale
transaction or in the context of a bankruptcy process.
The valuation analysis prepared by management is submitted to
our Board of Directors who is ultimately responsible for the
determination of fair value of the portfolio in good faith.
Valuation assistance from Duff & Phelps, LLC
(Duff & Phelps) for our private finance portfolio
consisted of certain limited procedures (the Procedures) we
identified and requested them to perform. Based upon the
performance of the Procedures on a selection of our final
portfolio company valuations, Duff & Phelps concluded
that the fair value of those portfolio companies subjected to
the Procedures did not appear unreasonable. In addition, we also
received third-party valuation assistance from other third-party
consultants for certain private finance portfolio companies. For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we
received third-party valuation assistance as follows:

The primary drivers of the net unrealized depreciation of
$162.9 million resulting from changes in portfolio value
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were
(i) additional depreciation of $29.3 million on our
investment in Ciena resulting from the decline in value of their
residual interest assets and other financial assets as discussed
below, (ii) depreciation in our other financial services
and asset management portfolio companies, which totaled
$32.0 million, and (iii) decreased enterprise values as a
result of lower EBITDA generally driven by current economic
conditions, including rising oil and food prices.
Valuation of Ciena Capital LLC. Our
investment in Ciena totaled $327.8 million at cost and
$9.0 thousand at value, which included unrealized
depreciation of $327.8 million, at June 30, 2008, and
$327.8 million at cost and $68.6 million at value,
which included unrealized depreciation of $259.2 million,
at December 31, 2007.
Ciena relies on the asset-backed securitization market to
finance its loan origination activity. That financing source
continues to be unreliable in the current capital markets, and
as a result, Ciena has substantially curtailed loan origination
activity. To value our investment at June 30, 2008, we
continued to attribute no value to Ciena’s origination
platform or enterprise due to the state of the securitization
markets, among other factors. The second quarter of 2008 decline
in value of $29.3 million reflects the decline in value of
Ciena’s financial assets, including residual interests,
which reduced its book value. We valued our investment in Ciena
at June 30, 2008, solely based on the estimated net
realizable value of Ciena’s assets, including the estimated
net realizable value of the cash flows generated from
Ciena’s retained interests in its current servicing
portfolio, which includes portfolio servicing fees as well as
cash flows from Ciena’s equity investments in its
securitizations and its interest-only strip. We considered the
outstanding letters of credit that we have issued in connection
with Ciena’s securitization transactions in our
determination of the net realizable value of Ciena’s
retained interests at June 30, 2008. This resulted in a
value to our investment, after repayment of senior debt
outstanding, of $9.0 thousand at June 30, 2008. At
June 30, 2008, the estimated net realizable value of
Ciena’s assets exceeded the amount outstanding on
Ciena’s revolving line of credit, which is 100% guaranteed
by us. If the estimated net realizable value of Ciena’s
assets were to fall below the amount outstanding on Ciena’s
revolving line of credit, we would be required to record a
liability for the amount that the revolving line of credit
exceeds the net realizable value of Ciena’s assets.
We also continued to consider Ciena’s current regulatory
issues and ongoing investigations and litigation in performing
the valuation analysis at June 30, 2008. (See
“— Private Finance, Ciena Capital LLC”
above.)
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation included
depreciation on our investment in Ciena of $29.3 million
and $68.6 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, respectively, and depreciation of
$19.1 million for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007. We received valuation assistance from
Duff & Phelps for our investment in Ciena at
June 30, 2008 and 2007. See “Valuation
Methodology — Private Finance” above for further
discussion of the third-party valuation assistance we received.

Per Share Amounts. All per share
amounts included in the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
section have been computed using the weighted average common
shares used to compute diluted earnings per share, which were
173.0 million and 156.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and were
167.2 million and 154.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
OTHER
MATTERS
Regulated Investment Company Status. We
have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
Code). As long as we qualify as a regulated investment company,
we are not taxed on our investment company taxable income or
realized net capital gains, to the extent that such taxable
income or gains are distributed, or deemed to be distributed, to
shareholders on a timely basis.
Dividends are paid to shareholders from taxable income. Taxable
income generally differs from net income for financial reporting
purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the
recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are
not included in taxable income until they are realized. In
addition, gains realized for financial reporting purposes may
differ from gains included in taxable income as a result of our
election to recognize gains using installment sale treatment,
which generally results in the deferment of gains for tax
purposes until notes or other amounts, including amounts held in
escrow, received as consideration from the sale of investments
are collected in cash. See “Dividends and
Distributions” below.
Dividends declared and paid by us in a year generally differ
from taxable income for that year as such dividends may include
the distribution of current year taxable income, the
distribution of prior year taxable income carried over into and
distributed in the current year, or returns of capital. We are
generally required to distribute 98% of our taxable income
during the year the income is earned to avoid paying an excise
tax. If this requirement is not met, the Code imposes a
nondeductible excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98%
of the current year’s taxable income exceeds the
distribution for the year from such taxable income. The taxable
income on which an excise tax is paid is generally carried over
and distributed to shareholders in the next tax year. Depending
on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may
choose to carry over taxable income in excess of current year
distributions from such taxable income into the next tax year
and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. See
“Dividends and Distributions” below.
In order to maintain our status as a regulated investment
company and obtain regulated investment company tax benefits, we
must, in general, (1) continue to qualify as a business
development company; (2) derive at least 90% of our gross
income from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of
securities and other specified types of income; (3) meet
asset diversification requirements as defined in the Code; and
(4) timely distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our
annual investment company taxable income as defined in the Code.
We intend to take all steps necessary to continue to qualify as
a regulated investment company. However, there can be no
assurance that we will continue to qualify for such treatment in
future years.
DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS
Our Board of Directors reviews the dividend rate quarterly, and
may adjust the quarterly dividend throughout the year. Dividends
are declared considering our estimate of annual taxable income
available for distribution to shareholders and the amount of
taxable income carried over from the prior year for distribution
in the current year. Dividends to common shareholders for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were
$224.2 million and $193.4 million, respectively, or
$1.30 per common share for the first half of 2008 and
$1.27 per common share for the first half of 2007. An extra
cash dividend of $0.05 per common share was declared during 2006
and was paid to shareholders on January 19, 2007.
104
The Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.65 per
common share for the third quarter of 2008 and a dividend of
$0.65 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2008.
Dividends are paid from taxable income. Taxable income includes
our taxable interest, dividend and fee income, as well as
taxable net capital gains. Taxable income generally differs from
net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and
permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses,
and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or
depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable
income until they are realized. In addition, gains realized for
financial reporting purposes may differ from gains included in
taxable income as a result of our election to recognize gains
using installment sale treatment, which generally results in the
deferment of gains for tax purposes until notes or other
amounts, including amounts held in escrow, received as
consideration from the sale of investments are collected in
cash. Taxable income includes non-cash income, such as
contractual payment-in-kind interest and dividends and the
amortization of discounts and fees. Cash collections of income
resulting from contractual payment-in-kind interest or the
amortization of discounts and fees generally occur upon the
repayment of the loans or debt securities that include such
items. Non-cash taxable income is reduced by non-cash expenses,
such as realized losses and depreciation and amortization
expense.
To the extent that we earn annual taxable income in excess of
dividends paid from such taxable income for the year, we may
carry over the excess taxable income into the next year and such
excess income will be available for distribution in the next
year as permitted under the Code (see discussion below). Such
income will be treated under the Code as having been distributed
during the prior year for purposes of our qualification for RIC
tax treatment for such year. The maximum amount of excess
taxable income that we may carry over for distribution in the
next year under the Code is the total amount of dividends paid
in the following year, subject to certain declaration and
payment guidelines. Excess taxable income carried over and paid
out in the next year is generally subject to a nondeductible 4%
excise tax. We believe that carrying over excess taxable income
from one year for distribution in the following year may provide
increased visibility with respect to taxable earnings available
to pay the regular quarterly dividend.
Our estimated annual taxable income for 2007 exceeded our
dividend distributions to shareholders for 2007 from such
taxable income, and, therefore, we have carried over excess
taxable income, which is currently estimated to be
$403.1 million, for distribution to shareholders in 2008.
Estimated excess taxable income for 2007 represents
approximately $50.0 million of ordinary income and
approximately $353.1 million of net long-term capital
gains. Our taxable income for 2007 is an estimate and will not
be finally determined until we file our 2007 tax return in
September 2008. Therefore, the excess taxable income earned in
2007 and carried forward for distribution in 2008 may be
different than this estimate.
Dividends paid in 2008 are first paid out of the excess taxable
income carried over from 2007. For the first and second quarters
of 2008, we paid dividends of $224.2 million. The remainder
of 2007 estimated excess taxable income to be distributed during
the second half of 2008 is $178.9 million. In accordance
with regulated investment company distribution rules, we must
declare current year dividends to be paid from carried over
excess taxable income from 2007 before we file our 2007 tax
return in September 2008, and we must pay such dividends by
December 31, 2008. To comply with these rules, on
July 8, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a $0.65 per
share dividend for both the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
The third quarter dividend will be paid on September 26,
2008, and the fourth quarter dividend will be paid on
December 26, 2008. A substantial portion of the 2008
dividend payments will be made from excess 2007 taxable earnings.
Given that a substantial portion of the 2008 dividend payments
will be made from excess taxable income carried forward from
2007, we currently expect to carry over excess taxable income
earned in 2008 for distribution to shareholders in 2009. We
expect that we will generally be required to pay a 4% excise tax
on the excess of 98% of our taxable income for 2008 over the
amount of actual distributions from such taxable income in 2008.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we have recorded an
excise tax of $4.2 million. Excise taxes are accrued based
upon estimated excess taxable income as estimated taxable income
is earned, therefore, the excise tax accrued to date in 2008 may
be adjusted as appropriate in the remainder of 2008 to reflect
changes in our estimate of the carry
105
over amount and additional excise tax may be accrued during the
remainder of 2008 as additional excess taxable income is earned,
if any. Our ability to earn the estimated annual taxable income
for 2008 depends on many factors, including our ability to make
new investments at attractive yields, the level of repayments in
the portfolio, the realization of gains or losses from portfolio
exits, and the level of operating expenses incurred. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk
Factors.”
In addition, we currently estimate that we have cumulative
deferred taxable income related to installment sale gains of
approximately $234.5 million as of December 31, 2007. These
gains have been recognized for financial reporting purposes in
the respective years they were realized, but will be deferred
for tax purposes until the notes or other amounts received from
the sale of the related investments are collected in cash. The
installment sale gains for 2007 are estimates and will not be
finally determined until we file our 2007 tax return in
September 2008. See “Other Matters —
Regulated Investment Company Status” above.
To the extent that installment sale gains are deferred for
recognition in taxable income, we pay interest to the Internal
Revenue Service. Installment-related interest expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, was
$3.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. This
interest is included in interest expense in our Consolidated
Statement of Operations. See “— Results of
Operations” above.

| (1) | The Treasury bills matured in July 2008. We reinvested the proceeds from the matured Treasury bills in short-term Treasury bills. |
We maintain this pool of liquid assets within our balance sheet
given that our investment portfolio is primarily composed of
private, illiquid assets for which there is no readily available
market. We assess the amount held in and the composition of
these investments throughout the year. As the capital markets
became increasingly uncertain in the first quarter of 2008, we
moved our investments in money market securities into cash and
very short-term treasuries.
We invest otherwise uninvested cash in U.S. government- or
agency-issued or guaranteed securities that are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States, or in high quality,
short-term securities. We place our cash with financial
institutions and, at times, cash held in checking accounts in
financial institutions may be in excess of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation insured limit.
We employ an asset-liability management approach that focuses on
matching the estimated maturities of our investment portfolio to
the estimated maturities of our borrowings. We use our revolving
line of credit facility as a means to finance our business
pending long-term financing in the form of debt or equity
capital, which may or may not result in temporary differences in
the matching of estimated maturities. We evaluate our interest
rate exposure on an ongoing basis. Generally, we seek to fund
our primarily fixed-rate debt portfolio and our equity portfolio
with fixed-rate debt or equity capital. To the extent deemed
necessary, we may hedge variable and short-term interest rate
exposure through interest rate swaps or other techniques.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the
year ended December 31, 2007, we sold new equity of
$402.5 million, $93.8 million, and
$171.3 million, respectively, in public offerings. In
addition, shareholders’ equity increased through capital
share transactions by $4.0 million, $20.4 million, and
$31.5 million through the exercise of stock options, the
collection of notes receivable from the sale of common stock,
and the issuance of shares through our dividend reinvestment
plan for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and
the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. In
addition, shareholders’ equity increased by
$26.4 million during the six months ended June 30,
2008, as a result of the distribution of the common stock held
in deferred compensation trusts. See Note 8, “Employee
Compensation Plans” from our Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1.
We generally target a debt to equity ratio ranging between
0.50:1.00 to 0.70:1.00 because we believe that it is prudent to
operate with a larger equity capital base and less leverage. At
June 30, 2008, our debt to equity ratio net of cash,
U.S. Treasury bills and other securities was 0.64:1.00.

Privately Issued Unsecured
Notes Payable. We have privately issued
unsecured long-term notes to institutional investors, primarily
insurance companies. The notes have five- or seven-year
maturities and fixed rates of interest. The notes generally
require payment of interest only semi-annually, and all
principal is due upon maturity. At June 30, 2008, the notes had
maturities from March 2009 to June 2015. The notes may be
prepaid in whole or in part, together with an interest premium,
as stipulated in the note agreements.
We have issued five-year unsecured long-term notes denominated
in Euros and Sterling for a total U.S. dollar equivalent of
$15.2 million. The notes have fixed interest rates and have
substantially the same terms as our other unsecured notes. The
Euro notes require annual interest payments and the Sterling
notes require semi-annual interest payments until maturity.
These notes mature in March 2009. Simultaneous with issuing
the notes, we entered into a cross currency swap with a
financial institution which fixed our interest and principal
payments in U.S. dollars for the life of the debt.
On May 14, 2008, we repaid $153.0 million of unsecured
long-term debt that matured. This debt had a fixed interest rate
of 5.45%.
On June 20, 2008, we issued $140.5 million of
five-year, unsecured notes and $52.5 million of seven-year,
unsecured notes with fixed interest rates of 7.82% and 8.14%,
respectively. The debt matures in June 2013 and June 2015,
respectively. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes were
used to repay amounts outstanding on our revolving line of
credit, as well as to fund new portfolio investments and for
other general corporate purposes.
Publicly Issued Unsecured Notes

upon maturity. We have the option to redeem these notes prior to
maturity in whole or in part, together with a redemption
premium, as stipulated in the notes.
108
On March 28, 2007, we completed the issuance of $200.0 million
of 6.875% Notes due 2047 for net proceeds of
$193.0 million. In April 2007, we issued additional notes,
through an over-allotment option, totaling $30.0 million
for net proceeds of $29.1 million. Net proceeds are net of
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The
notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
trading symbol AFC.
The 6.875% Notes due 2047 require payment of interest only
quarterly, and all principal is due upon maturity. We may redeem
these notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time
on or after April 15, 2012, at par and upon the occurrence
of certain tax events as stipulated in the notes.
Revolving Line of Credit. At
December 31, 2007, we had an unsecured revolving line of
credit with a committed amount of $922.5 million that was
scheduled to expire on September 30, 2008. On April 9,
2008, we entered into a three-year unsecured revolving line of
credit with total commitments of $632.5 million, with Bank
of America, N.A., as a lender and as administrative agent, and
the other lenders thereunder, which replaced our previous
revolving line of credit. We may obtain additional commitments
up to a total committed facility of $1.5 billion, subject
to customary conditions. The revolving line of credit expires
on April 11, 2011.
At our option, borrowings under the revolving line of credit
effective April 9, 2008, generally bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (for the period selected by us)
plus 2.00% or (ii) the higher of the Federal Funds rate
plus 0.50% or the Bank of America N.A. prime rate. The
revolving line of credit requires the payment of an annual
commitment fee equal to 0.50% of the committed amount (whether
used or unused). The revolving line of credit generally requires
payments of interest at the end of each LIBOR interest period,
but no less frequently than quarterly, on LIBOR-based loans, and
monthly payments of interest on other loans. All principal is
due upon maturity.
Debt Covenants. We have various
financial and operating covenants required by the revolving line
of credit and the privately issued unsecured notes payable
outstanding at June 30, 2008. These covenants require us to
maintain certain financial ratios, including asset coverage,
debt to equity and interest coverage, and a minimum net worth.
These credit facilities provide for customary events of default,
including, but not limited to, payment defaults, breach of
representations or covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy events,
failure to pay judgments, attachment of our assets, change of
control and the issuance of an order of dissolution. Certain of
these events of default are subject to notice and cure periods
or materiality thresholds. Our credit facilities limit our
ability to declare dividends if we default under certain
provisions. Subsequent to June 30, 2008, we received
waivers and completed an amendment for certain non-financial
covenants and are currently in compliance with our covenants.
We have certain financial and operating covenants that are
required by the publicly issued unsecured notes payable,
including that we will maintain a minimum ratio of 200% of total
assets to total borrowings, as required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, while these notes are
outstanding. At June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with
these covenants.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we have issued guarantees
and have extended standby letters of credit through financial
intermediaries on behalf of certain portfolio companies. We have
generally issued guarantees of debt and lease obligations. Under
these arrangements, we would be required to make payments to
third-party beneficiaries if the portfolio companies were to
default on their related payment obligations. The following
table shows our guarantees and standby letters of credit that
may have the effect of creating, increasing, or accelerating our
liabilities as of June 30, 2008.

Therefore, unless a standby letter of credit is set to expire at an earlier date, we have assumed that the standby letters of credit will expire contemporaneously with the expiration of our line of credit that expires in April 2011. |
| (2) | Our most significant commitments relate to our investment in Ciena Capital LLC (Ciena). At June 30, 2008, the principal components of these guarantees included a guarantee of 100% of the outstanding total obligations on Ciena’s revolving line of credit, which matures in March 2009, for a total guaranteed amount of $336.3 million. At June 30, 2008, the estimated net realizable value of Ciena’s assets exceeded the amount outstanding on this revolving line of credit. If the estimated net realizable value of Ciena’s assets were to fall below the amount outstanding on Ciena’s revolving line of credit, we would be required to record a liability for the amount that the revolving line of credit exceeds the net realizable value of Ciena’s assets. At June 30, 2008, we also had standby letters of credit issued totaling $104.1 million in connection with term securitizations completed by Ciena. We considered the outstanding letters of credit in our valuation at June 30, 2008. See “— Private Finance, Ciena Capital LLC” and “Results of Operations — Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation” above for further discussion. |
In addition, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments
totaling $825.6 million at June 30, 2008, including
$787.2 million related to private finance investments and
$38.4 million related to commercial real estate finance
investments. Outstanding commitments related to private finance
investments included $430.4 million to the Unitranche Fund
LLC, which we believe will be funded over a two to three year
period as investments are funded by the Unitranche Fund. See
“— Portfolio and Investment Activity —
Outstanding Commitments” above. We intend to fund these
commitments and prospective investment opportunities with
existing cash, through cash flow from operations before new
investments, through borrowings under our line of credit or
other long-term debt agreements, or through the sale or issuance
of new equity capital.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are based on the selection
and application of critical accounting policies, which require
management to make significant estimates and assumptions.
Critical accounting policies are those that are both important
to the presentation of our financial condition and results of
operations and require management’s most difficult,
complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting
policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments,
certain revenue recognition matters and certain tax matters as
discussed below.
Valuation of Portfolio
Investments. We, as a BDC, have invested in
illiquid securities including debt and equity securities of
portfolio companies, CLO bonds and preferred shares/income
notes, CDO bonds and investment funds. Our investments may be
subject to certain restrictions on resale and generally have no
established trading market. We value substantially all of our
investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy and
the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and FASB
Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157 or the Statement). We determine fair value to
be the price that would be received for an investment in a
current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. Our valuation
policy considers the fact that no ready market exists for
substantially all of the securities in which we invest and that
fair value for our investments must typically be determined
using unobservable inputs. Our valuation policy is intended to
provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of the
portfolio.
110
We adopted SFAS 157 on a prospective basis in the first
quarter of 2008. SFAS 157 requires us to assume that the
portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to
market participants, or in the absence of a principal market,
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. In accordance
with the Statement, we have considered our principal market, or
the market in which we exit our portfolio investments with the
greatest volume and level of activity.
We have determined that for our buyout investments, where we
have control or could gain control through an option or warrant
security, both the debt and equity securities of the portfolio
investment would exit in the merger and acquisition (M&A)
market as the principal market generally through a sale or
recapitalization of the portfolio company. We believe that the
in-use premise of value (as defined in SFAS 157), which
assumes the debt and equity securities are sold together, is
appropriate as this would provide maximum proceeds to the
seller. As a result, we will continue to use the enterprise
value methodology to determine the fair value of these
investments under SFAS 157. Enterprise value means the
entire value of the company to a market participant, including
the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to
capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. Enterprise value
is determined using various factors, including cash flow from
operations of the portfolio company, multiples at which private
companies are bought and sold, and other pertinent factors, such
as recent offers to purchase a portfolio company, recent
transactions involving the purchase or sale of the portfolio
company’s equity securities, liquidation events, or other
events. We allocate the enterprise value to these securities in
order of the legal priority of the securities.
While we typically exit our securities upon the sale or
recapitalization of the portfolio company in the M&A
market, for investments in portfolio companies where we do not
have control or the ability to gain control through an option or
warrant security, we cannot typically control the exit of our
investment into our principal market (the M&A market). As a
result, in accordance with SFAS 157, we are required to
determine the fair value of these investments assuming a sale of
the individual investment in a hypothetical market to a
hypothetical market participant (the in-exchange premise of
value). We continue to perform an enterprise value analysis for
the investments in this category to assess the credit risk of
the loan or debt security and to determine the fair value of our
equity investment in these portfolio companies. The determined
equity values are generally discounted when we have a minority
ownership position, restrictions on resale, specific concerns
about the receptivity of the capital markets to a specific
company at a certain time, or other factors. For loan and debt
securities, we perform a yield analysis assuming a hypothetical
current sale of the investment. The yield analysis requires us
to estimate the expected repayment date of the instrument and a
market participant’s required yield. Our estimate of the
expected repayment date of a loan or debt security is generally
shorter than the legal maturity of the instruments as our loans
have historically been repaid prior to the maturity date. The
yield analysis considers changes in interest rates and changes
in leverage levels of the loan or debt security as compared to
current market interest rates and leverage levels of the loan or
debt security as compared to market interest rates and leverage
levels. Assuming the credit quality of the loan or debt security
remains stable, we will use the value determined by the yield
analysis as the fair value for that security. A change in the
assumptions that we use to estimate the fair value of our loans
and 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 loan or debt security is in
workout status, we may consider other factors in determining the
fair value of a loan or debt security, including the value
attributable to the loan or debt security from the enterprise
value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would be
received in a liquidation analysis.
Our equity investments in private debt and equity funds are
generally valued at such fund’s net asset value, unless
other factors lead to a determination of fair value at a
different amount. The value of our equity securities in public
companies for which quoted prices in an active market are
readily available is based on the closing public market price on
the measurement date.
The fair value of our CLO bonds and preferred shares/income
notes and CDO bonds (CLO/CDO Assets) is generally based on a
discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment,
re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical
experience and projected performance, economic factors, the
characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable
yields for similar bonds and preferred shares/income notes, when
available. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation
on our CLO/CDO Assets as comparable yields in the market change
and/or based
on changes in estimated cash flows resulting from changes in
prepayment, re-investment or loss assumptions
111
in the underlying collateral pool, or changes in redemption
assumptions for the CLO/CDO Assets, if applicable. We determine
the fair value of our CLO/CDO Assets on an individual
security-by-security
basis.
We will record unrealized depreciation on investments when we
determine that the fair value of a security is less than its
cost basis, and will record unrealized appreciation when we
determine that the fair value is greater than its cost basis.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the values
determined at the measurement date may differ significantly from
the values that would have been used had a ready market existed
for the investments, and the differences could be material.
Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events
that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the
gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be
different than the values determined at the measurement date.
See “— Results of Operations — Change
in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation” above for more
discussion on portfolio valuation.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized
Appreciation or Depreciation. Realized gains
or losses are measured by the difference between the net
proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of the
investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or
depreciation previously recognized, and include investments
charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation primarily reflects the
change in portfolio investment values during the reporting
period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized
appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation also
reflects the change in the value of U.S. Treasury bills and
depreciation on accrued interest and dividends receivable and
other assets where collection is doubtful.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest
income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are expected to be collected. For loans and debt
securities with contractual payment-in-kind interest, which
represents contractual interest accrued and added to the loan
balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will not
accrue payment-in-kind interest if the portfolio company
valuation indicates that the payment-in-kind interest is not
collectible. In general, interest is not accrued on loans and
debt securities if we have doubt about interest collection or
where the enterprise value of the portfolio company may not
support further accrual. Loans in workout status generally do
not accrue interest. In addition, interest may not accrue on
loans or debt securities to portfolio companies that are more
than 50% owned by us depending on such company’s capital
requirements.
When we receive nominal cost warrants or free equity securities
(nominal cost equity), we allocate our cost basis in our
investment between debt securities and nominal cost equity at
the time of origination. At that time, the original issue
discount basis of the nominal cost equity is recorded by
increasing the cost basis in the equity and decreasing the cost
basis in the related debt securities. Loan origination fees,
original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and
then amortized into interest income using a method that
approximates the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment
of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination
fees are recorded as interest income and any unamortized
original issue discount or market discount is recorded as a
realized gain.
We recognize interest income on the CLO preferred shares/income
notes using the effective interest method, based on the
anticipated yield that is determined using the estimated cash
flows over the projected life of the investment. Yields are
revised when there are changes in actual or estimated cash flows
due to changes in prepayments and/or re-investments, credit
losses or asset pricing. Changes in estimated yield are
recognized as an adjustment to the estimated yield over the
remaining life of the preferred shares/income notes from the
date the estimated yield was changed. CLO and CDO bonds have
stated interest rates. The weighted average yield on the CLO/CDO
Assets is calculated as the (a) annual stated interest or
the effective interest yield on the accruing bonds or the
effective yield on the preferred shares/income notes, divided by
(b) CLO/CDO Assets at value. The weighted average yields
are computed as of the balance sheet date.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as
dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are expected to be collected and to the extent that we
have the option to receive the dividend in cash. Dividend income
on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for
private companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded
companies.
Fee Income. Fee income includes fees
for loan prepayment premiums, guarantees, commitments, and
services rendered by us to portfolio companies and other third
parties such as diligence, structuring, transaction services,
112
management and consulting services, and other services. Loan
prepayment premiums are recognized at the time of prepayment.
Guaranty and commitment fees are generally recognized as income
over the related period of the guaranty or commitment,
respectively. Diligence, structuring, and transaction services
fees are generally recognized as income when services are
rendered or when the related transactions are completed.
Management, consulting and other services fees, including fund
management fees, are generally recognized as income as the
services are rendered. Fees are not accrued if we have doubt
about collection of those fees.
Federal and State Income Taxes and Excise
Tax. We intend to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to
regulated investment companies (RIC) and real estate investment
trusts (REIT). We and any of our subsidiaries that qualify as a
RIC or a REIT intend to distribute or retain through a deemed
distribution all of our annual taxable income to shareholders;
therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes for these
entities.
If we do not distribute at least 98% of our annual taxable
income in the year earned, we will generally be required to pay
an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our
annual taxable income exceeds the distributions from such
taxable income during the year earned. To the extent that we
determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income
will be in excess of estimated current year dividend
distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes
on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned
using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective
excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual
excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.
Income taxes for AC Corp are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. We have adopted this statement on a prospective basis
beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Adoption of
this statement has not had a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements. However, the impact on our consolidated
financial statements for future periods cannot be determined at
this time as it will be influenced by the estimates of fair
value for those periods, the number and amount of investments we
originate, acquire or exit, and the effect of any additional
guidance or any changes in the interpretation of this statement.
Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in quantitative or qualitative
disclosures about market risk since December 31, 2007.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report on
Form 10-Q,
the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial
officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15
and 15d-15
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this
evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure information
required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and forms and to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including its
principal executive and principal financial officers, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
(b) There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
On June 23, 2004, we were notified by the SEC that they
were conducting an informal investigation of us. The
investigation related to the valuation of securities in our
private finance portfolio and other matters. On June 20,
2007, we announced that we entered into a settlement with the
SEC that resolved the SEC’s informal investigation. As part
of the settlement and without admitting or denying the
SEC’s allegations, we agreed to the entry of an
administrative order. In the order the SEC alleged that, between
June 30, 2001, and March 31, 2003, we did not maintain
books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail,
supported or accurately and fairly reflected valuations of
certain securities in our private finance portfolio and, as a
result, did not meet certain recordkeeping and internal controls
provisions of the federal securities laws. In the administrative
order, the SEC ordered us to continue to maintain certain of our
current valuation-related controls. Specifically, for a period
of two years, we have undertaken to: (1) continue to employ
a Chief Valuation Officer, or a similarly structured
officer-level employee, to oversee our quarterly valuation
processes; and (2) continue to employ third-party valuation
consultants to assist in our quarterly valuation processes.
On December 22, 2004, we received letters from the U.S.
Attorney for the District of Columbia requesting the
preservation and production of information regarding us and
Business Loan Express, LLC (currently known as Ciena Capital
LLC) in connection with a criminal investigation relating to
matters similar to those investigated by and settled with the
SEC as discussed above. We produced materials in response to the
requests from the U.S. Attorney’s office and certain
current and former employees were interviewed by the U.S.
Attorney’s Office. We have voluntarily cooperated with the
investigation.
In late December 2006, we received a subpoena from the U.S.
Attorney for the District of Columbia requesting, among other
things, the production of records regarding the use of private
investigators by us or our agents. The Board established a
committee, which was advised by its own counsel, to review this
matter. In the course of gathering documents responsive to the
subpoena, we became aware that an agent of Allied Capital
obtained what were represented to be telephone records of David
Einhorn and which purport to be records of calls from Greenlight
Capital during a period of time in 2005. Also, while we were
gathering documents responsive to the subpoena, allegations were
made that our management had authorized the acquisition of these
records and that management was subsequently advised that these
records had been obtained. Our management has stated that these
allegations are not true. We have cooperated fully with the
inquiry by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
On February 13, 2007, Rena Nadoff filed a shareholder
derivative action in the Superior Court of the District of
Columbia, captioned Rena Nadoff v. Walton, et al., CA 001060-07,
seeking unspecified compensatory and other damages, as well as
equitable relief on behalf of Allied Capital Corporation. The
complaint was summarily dismissed in July 2007. The complaint
alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors
arising from internal control failures and mismanagement of
Business Loan Express, LLC, an Allied Capital portfolio company.
On October 5, 2007, Rena Nadoff sent a letter to our Board
of Directors with substantially the same claims and a request
that the Board of Directors investigate the claims and take
appropriate action. The Board of Directors subsequently
established a committee, which is advised by its own counsel, to
review the matter. The Board’s committee concluded its
review of the matter and recommended that the Board not take any
further action with respect to Ms. Nadoff’s claims.
After discussing the matter, the Board accepted the
recommendation.
On February 26, 2007, Dana Ross filed a class action
complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia in which she alleges that Allied Capital Corporation
and certain members of management violated Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5
thereunder. Thereafter, the court appointed new lead counsel and
approved new lead plaintiffs. On July 30, 2007, plaintiffs
served an amended complaint. Plaintiffs claim that, between
November 7, 2005, and January 22, 2007, Allied Capital
either failed to disclose or misrepresented information about
our portfolio company, Business Loan Express, LLC. Plaintiffs
seek unspecified compensatory and other damages, as well as
other relief. We believe the lawsuit is without merit, and
114
we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. On
September 13, 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss the
lawsuit. The motion is pending.
In addition to the above matters, we are party to certain
lawsuits in the normal course of business.
While the outcome of any of the open legal proceedings described
above cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not
expect these 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.
Investing in Allied Capital involves a number of significant
risks relating to our business and investment objective. As a
result, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our
investment objective.
Our portfolio of investments is illiquid. We
generally acquire our investments directly from the issuer in
privately negotiated transactions. The majority of the
investments in our portfolio are subject to certain restrictions
on resale or otherwise have no established trading market. We
typically exit our investments when the portfolio company has a
liquidity event such as a sale, recapitalization, or initial
public offering of the company. The illiquidity of our
investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of debt
and equity securities at times when we may need to or when it
may be otherwise advantageous for us to liquidate such
investments. In addition, if we were forced to immediately
liquidate some or all of the investments in the portfolio, the
proceeds of such liquidation could be significantly less than
the current value of such investments.
Investing in private companies involves a high degree of
risk. Our portfolio primarily consists of
long-term loans to and investments in middle market private
companies. Investments in private businesses involve a high
degree of business and financial risk, which can result in
substantial losses for us in those investments and accordingly
should be considered speculative. There is generally no publicly
available information about the companies in which we invest,
and we rely significantly on the diligence of our employees and
agents to obtain information in connection with our investment
decisions. If we are unable to identify all material information
about these companies, among other factors, we may fail to
receive the expected return on our investment or lose some or
all of the money invested in these companies. In addition, these
businesses may have shorter operating histories, narrower
product lines, smaller market shares and less experienced
management than their competition and may be more vulnerable to
customer preferences, market conditions, loss of key personnel,
or economic downturns, which may adversely affect the return on,
or the recovery of, our investment in such businesses. As an
investor, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company
may make a business decision that does not serve our interest,
which could decrease the value of our investment. Deterioration
in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects
may be accompanied by deterioration in the collateral for a
loan, if any.
Substantially all of our portfolio investments, which are
generally illiquid, are recorded at fair value as determined in
good faith by our Board of Directors and, as a result, there is
uncertainty regarding the value of our portfolio
investments. At June 30, 2008, portfolio
investments recorded at fair value were 91% of our total assets.
Pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we value
substantially all of our investments at fair value as determined
in good faith by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
Since there is typically no market quotation in an active market
for the investments in our portfolio, our Board of Directors
determines in good faith the fair value of these investments
pursuant to a valuation policy and a consistently applied
valuation process.
There is no single approach for determining fair value in good
faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that
judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of
each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied
valuation process for the types of investments we make. In
determining fair value in good faith, we generally obtain
financial and other information from portfolio companies, which
may represent unaudited, projected or proforma financial
information. Unlike banks, we are not permitted to provide a
general reserve for anticipated loan losses; we are instead
required by the 1940 Act to specifically value each individual
investment on
115
a quarterly basis. We will record unrealized depreciation on
investments when we determine that the fair value of a security
is less than its cost basis, and unrealized appreciation when we
determine that the fair value of a security is greater than its
cost basis. Without a market quotation in an active market and
because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair value
of our investments determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors may differ significantly from the values that would
have been used had a ready market existed for the investments,
and the differences could be material. Our net asset value could
be affected if our determination of the fair value of our
investments is materially different than the value that we
ultimately realize.
We adjust quarterly the valuation of our portfolio to reflect
the Board of Directors’ determination of the fair value of
each investment in our portfolio. Any changes in fair value are
recorded in our statement of operations as net change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
Beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we adopted
the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, on a prospective basis. Adoption of this
statement has not had a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements. However, the impact on our consolidated
financial statements for future periods cannot be determined at
this time as it will be influenced by the estimates of fair
value for those periods, the number and amount of investments we
originate, acquire or exit and the effect of any additional
guidance or any changes in the interpretation of this statement.
See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies” from our Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 1.
Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio
companies and harm our operating results. Many of
the companies in which we have made or will make investments may
be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. An economic
slowdown may affect the ability of a company to repay our loans
or engage in a liquidity event such as a sale, recapitalization,
or initial public offering. Our nonperforming assets are likely
to increase and the value of our portfolio is likely to decrease
during these periods. Adverse economic conditions also may
decrease the value of any collateral securing some of our loans.
These conditions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio
and a decrease in our revenues, net income, and assets.
Our business of making private equity investments and
positioning them for liquidity events also may be affected by
current and future market conditions. The absence of an active
senior lending environment or a slowdown in middle market merger
and acquisition activity may slow the amount of private equity
investment activity generally. As a result, the pace of our
investment activity may slow. In addition, significant changes
in the capital markets could have a negative effect on the
valuations of our investments, and on the potential for
liquidity events involving such investments. This could affect
the timing of exit events in our portfolio, reduce the level of
net realized gains from exit events in a given year, and could
negatively affect the amount of gains or losses upon exit.
Our borrowers may default on their payments, which may have a
negative effect on our financial performance. We
make long-term loans and invest in equity securities primarily
in private middle market companies, which may involve a higher
degree of repayment risk. We primarily invest in companies that
may have limited financial resources, may be highly leveraged
and may be unable to obtain financing from traditional sources.
Numerous factors may affect a borrower’s ability to repay
its loan, including the failure to meet its business plan, a
downturn in its industry, or negative economic conditions. A
portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or
operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to
defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans or
foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross
defaults under other agreements and jeopardize our portfolio
company’s ability to meet its obligations under the loans
or debt securities that we hold. In addition, our portfolio
companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt
that ranks senior to or equally with our securities. This means
that payments on such senior-ranking securities may have to be
made before we receive any payments on our subordinated loans or
debt securities. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial
condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in
any related collateral and may have a negative effect on our
financial results.
116
Our private finance investments may not produce current
returns or capital gains. Our private finance
portfolio includes loans and debt securities that require the
payment of interest currently and equity securities such as
conversion rights, warrants, or options, minority equity
co-investments,
or more significant equity investments in the case of buyout
transactions. Our private finance debt investments are generally
structured to generate interest income from the time they are
made and our equity investments may also produce a realized
gain. We cannot be sure that our portfolio will generate a
current return or capital gains.
Our financial results could be negatively affected if a
significant portfolio investment fails to perform as
expected. Our total investment in companies may
be significant individually or in the aggregate. As a result, if
a significant investment in one or more companies fails to
perform as expected, our financial results could be more
negatively affected and the magnitude of the loss could be more
significant than if we had made smaller investments in more
companies.
At June 30, 2008, our investment in Ciena Capital LLC
(Ciena) totaled $327.8 million at cost and
$9.0 thousand at value, after the effect of unrealized
depreciation of $327.8 million. In addition, we have an
unconditional guarantee of 100% of the total obligations under
Ciena’s revolving credit facility that totaled
$336.3 million at June 30, 2008. The guarantee can be
called by the lenders in the event of default. In addition, we
have provided standby letters of credit, issued in connection
with term securitization transactions completed by Ciena, that
totaled $104.1 million at June 30, 2008, and we have
issued performance guarantees in connection with two
non-recourse warehouse facilities, both of which have matured.
Ciena is currently working with the warehouse providers
regarding the timing of the pay off of the warehouse facilities
and the servicing of the portfolios. There is no assurance that
Ciena will be able to refinance these facilities in the loan
securitization market.
Ciena relies on the asset-backed securitization market to
finance its loan origination activity. That financing source
continues to be unreliable in the current capital markets, and
as a result, Ciena has substantially curtailed loan origination
activity, including loan originations under the SBA’s 7(a)
Guaranteed Loan Program. Ciena continues to reposition its
business; however, there is an inherent risk in repositioning
the business and we continue to work with Ciena on
restructuring. To reduce outstanding borrowings under its credit
facilities, Ciena has sold certain loans. In the future Ciena
may seek to sell additional loans, including loans from its SBA
7(a) portfolio. Under SBA rules and regulations, sales
involving the SBA 7(a) portfolio generally require advance
approval by the SBA. Our financial results could be more
negatively affected if the net realizable value of Ciena’s
assets is insufficient to cover outstanding borrowings on its
revolving line of credit or is not able to reposition its
business.
Ciena is a participant in the SBA’s 7(a) Guaranteed Loan
Program and its wholly-owned subsidiary is licensed by the SBA
as a Small Business Lending Company (SBLC). Ciena remains
subject to SBA rules and regulations. The Office of the
Inspector General of the SBA (OIG) and the United States Secret
Service are conducting ongoing investigations of allegedly
fraudulently obtained SBA-guaranteed loans issued by Ciena. As
an SBA lender, Ciena is also subject to other SBA and OIG
audits, investigations, and reviews. In addition, the Office of
the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
is conducting an investigation of Ciena’s lending practices
under the Business and Industry Loan program. The OIG and the
U.S. Department of Justice are also conducting a civil
investigation of Ciena’s lending practices in various
jurisdictions. These investigations, audits, and reviews are
ongoing. These investigations, audits, and reviews have had and
may continue to have a material adverse impact on Ciena and, as
a result, could negatively affect our financial results. See
“Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of
Operations — Private Finance, Ciena Capital LLC,
and — Valuation of Ciena Capital LLC”.
We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or
loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing
in us. Borrowings, also known as leverage,
magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and,
therefore, increase the risks associated with investing in our
securities. We borrow from and issue senior debt securities to
banks, insurance companies, and other lenders or investors.
Holders of these senior securities have fixed dollar claims on
our consolidated assets that are superior to the claims of our
common shareholders. If the value of our consolidated assets
increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value
attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than
it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of
our consolidated assets decreases, leveraging would cause net
asset value to decline more sharply than
117
it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any
increase in our consolidated income in excess of consolidated
interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net
income to increase more than it would without the leverage,
while any decrease in our consolidated income would cause net
income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not
borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to
make common stock dividend payments. Leverage is generally
considered a speculative investment technique. We and,
indirectly, our stockholders will bear the cost associated with
our leverage activity. Our revolving line of credit and notes
payable contain financial and operating covenants that could
restrict our business activities, including our ability to
declare dividends if we default under certain provisions. Breach
of any of those covenants could cause a default under those
instruments. Such a default, if not cured or waived, could have
a material adverse effect on us.
At June 30, 2008, we had $2.0 billion of outstanding
indebtedness bearing a weighted average annual interest cost of
6.9% and a debt to equity ratio of 0.72 to 1.00. We may incur
additional debt in the future. If our portfolio of investments
fails to produce adequate returns, we may be unable to make
interest or principal payments on our indebtedness when they are
due. In order for us to cover annual interest payments on
indebtedness, we must achieve annual returns on our assets of at
least 2.8% as of June 30, 2008, which returns were achieved.
Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our
ability to, and the way in which, we raise additional
capital. Under the 1940 Act and the covenants
applicable to our public debt, we must maintain asset coverage
for total borrowings of at least 200%. Our ability to achieve
our investment objective may depend in part on our continued
ability to maintain a leveraged capital structure by borrowing
from banks, insurance companies or other lenders or investors on
favorable terms. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to maintain such leverage. If asset coverage declines to less
than 200%, we may be required to sell a portion of our
investments when it is disadvantageous to do so. As of
June 30, 2008, our asset coverage for senior indebtedness
was 239%.
Our common stock may trade below its net asset value per
share, which limits our ability to raise additional equity
capital. If our common stock is trading below its
net asset value per share, we will generally not be able to
issue additional shares of our common stock at its market price
without first obtaining the approval for such issuance from our
stockholders and our independent directors. Shares of business
development companies, including shares of our common stock,
have recently been trading at discounts to their net asset
values. If our common stock trades below net asset value, the
higher cost of equity capital may result in it being
unattractive to raise new equity, which may limit our ability to
grow. The risk of trading below net asset value is separate and
distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share may
decline. We cannot predict whether shares of our common stock
will trade above, at or below our net asset value.
We will continue to need additional capital to grow because
we must distribute our income. We will continue
to need capital to fund growth in our investments. Historically,
we have borrowed from financial institutions or other investors
and have issued debt and equity securities to grow our
portfolio. Our ability to grow could be limited if there is a
reduction in the availability of new debt or equity capital or
if our common stock trades below net asset value. We must
distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable
ordinary income (as defined in the Code), which excludes
realized net long-term capital gains, to our shareholders to
maintain our eligibility for the tax benefits available to
regulated investment companies. As a result, such earnings will
not be available to fund investment originations. In addition,
as a business development company, we (i) are generally required
to maintain a ratio of at least 200% of total assets to total
borrowings, which may restrict our ability to borrow in certain
circumstances and (ii) may only issue new equity capital at
a price, net of discounts and commissions, above our net asset
value unless we have received shareholder approval. If we fail
to obtain funds through additional debt or equity capital
raises, it could limit our ability to grow, which could have a
material adverse effect on the value of our debt securities or
common stock.
Loss of regulated investment company tax treatment would
substantially reduce net assets and income available for debt
service and dividends. We have operated so as to
qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code. If we meet source of income,
asset diversification, and distribution requirements, we
generally will not be subject to corporate-level income taxation
on income we timely distribute to our stockholders as dividends.
We would cease to qualify for such tax treatment if we were
unable to comply with these
118
requirements. In addition, we may have difficulty meeting the
requirement to make distributions to our stockholders because in
certain cases we may recognize income before or without
receiving cash representing such income. If we fail to qualify
as a regulated investment company, we will have to pay
corporate-level taxes on all of our income whether or not we
distribute it, which would substantially reduce the amount of
income available for debt service and distributions to our
stockholders. Even if we qualify as a regulated investment
company, we generally will be subject to a corporate-level
income tax on the income we do not distribute. If we do not
distribute at least 98% of our annual taxable income in the year
earned, we generally will be required to pay an excise tax on
amounts carried over and distributed to shareholders in the next
year equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual
taxable income exceeds the distributions from such income for
the current year.
There is a risk that our common stockholders may not receive
dividends or distributions. We intend to make
distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders. We may
not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to
make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount
of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to
the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business
development company, we may be limited in our ability to make
distributions. Also, certain of our credit facilities limit our
ability to declare dividends if we default under certain
provisions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our
income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences,
including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a
regulated investment company. In addition, in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax
regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have
not yet received in cash, such as contractual payment-in-kind
interest, which represents contractual interest added to the
loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or
the accrual of original issue discount. The increases in loan
balances as a result of contractual payment-in-kind arrangements
are included in income in advance of receiving cash payment and
are separately included in payment-in-kind interest and
dividends, net of cash collections in our consolidated statement
of cash flows. Since we may recognize income before or without
receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty
meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our
investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a
regulated investment company.
Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and
net investment income. Because we borrow money to
make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon
the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the
rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be
no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates
will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment
income. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds
would increase, which would reduce our net investment income. We
use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and
equity capital to finance our investing activities. We utilize
our revolving line of credit as a means to bridge to long-term
financing. Our long-term fixed-rate investments are financed
primarily with long-term fixed-rate debt and equity. We may use
interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit
our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may
include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent
permitted by the 1940 Act. We have analyzed the potential impact
of changes in interest rates on interest income net of interest
expense.
Assuming that the balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, were
to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the
existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 1%
change in interest rates would have affected net income by
approximately 1% over a one year horizon. Although management
believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to
interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes
in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the
balance sheet and other business developments that could affect
net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net
income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual
results would not differ materially from the potential outcome
simulated by this estimate.
We operate in a competitive market for investment
opportunities. We compete for investments with a
large number of private equity funds and mezzanine funds, other
business development companies, investment banks, other equity
and non-equity based investment funds, and other sources of
financing, including specialty finance companies and traditional
financial services companies such as commercial banks. Some of
our competitors may have greater resources than we do. Increased
competition would make it more difficult for us to purchase or
119
originate investments at attractive prices. As a result of this
competition, sometimes we may be precluded from making otherwise
attractive investments.
There are potential conflicts of interest between us and the
funds managed by us. Certain of our officers
serve or may serve in an investment management capacity to funds
managed by us. As a result, investment professionals may
allocate such time and attention as is deemed appropriate and
necessary to carry out the operations of the managed funds. In
this respect, they may experience diversions of their attention
from us and potential conflicts of interest between their work
for us and their work for the managed funds in the event that
the interests of the managed funds run counter to our interests.
Although managed funds may have a different primary investment
objective than we do, the managed funds may, from time to time,
invest in the same or similar asset classes that we target. In
addition, more than one fund managed by us may invest in the
same or similar asset classes. These investments may be made at
the direction of the same individuals acting in their capacity
on behalf of us and one or more of the managed funds. As a
result, there may be conflicts in the allocation of investment
opportunities between us and the managed funds or among the
managed funds. We may or may not participate in investments made
by investment funds managed by us or one of our affiliates. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of
Operations — Managed Funds.”
We have sold assets to certain managed funds and, as part of our
investment strategy, we may offer to sell additional assets to
managed funds or we may purchase assets from managed funds. In
addition, funds managed by us may offer to or may purchase
assets from one another. While assets may be sold or purchased
at prices that are consistent with those that could be obtained
from third parties in the marketplace, there is an inherent
conflict of interest in such transactions between us and funds
we manage.
Our business depends on our key personnel. We
depend on the continued services of our executive officers and
other key management personnel. If we were to lose any of these
officers or other management personnel, such a loss could result
in inefficiencies in our operations and lost business
opportunities, which could have a negative effect on our
business.
Changes in the law or regulations that govern us could have a
material impact on us or our operations. We are
regulated by the SEC. In addition, changes in the laws or
regulations that govern business development companies,
regulated investment companies, asset managers, and real estate
investment trusts may significantly affect our business. There
are proposals being considered by the current administration to
change the regulation of financial institutions that may affect,
possibly adversely, investment managers or investment funds. Any
change in the law or regulations that govern our business could
have a material impact on us or our operations. Laws and
regulations may be changed from time to time, and the
interpretations of the relevant laws and regulations also are
subject to change, which may have a material effect on our
operations.
Failure to invest a sufficient portion of our assets in
qualifying assets could preclude us from investing in accordance
with our current business strategy. As a business
development company, we may not acquire any assets other than
“qualifying assets” unless, at the time of and after
giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70% of our total
assets are qualifying assets. Therefore, we may be precluded
from investing in what we believe are attractive investments if
such investments are not qualifying assets for purposes of the
1940 Act. If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets
in qualifying assets, we could lose our status as a business
development company, which would have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making additional
investments in existing portfolio companies, which could result
in the dilution of our position, or could require us to dispose
of investments at inopportune times in order to comply with the
1940 Act. If we were forced to sell nonqualifying investments in
the portfolio for compliance purposes, the proceeds from such
sale could be significantly less than the current value of such
investments.
Results may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future
performance. Our operating results may fluctuate
and, therefore, you should not rely on current or historical
period results to be indicative of our performance in future
reporting periods. Factors that could cause operating results to
fluctuate include, but are not limited to, variations in the
investment origination volume and fee income earned, changes in
the accrual status of our loans and debt securities, variations
in timing of prepayments, variations in and the timing of the
recognition of
120
net realized gains or losses and changes in unrealized
appreciation or depreciation, the level of our expenses, the
degree to which we encounter competition in our markets, and
general economic conditions.
Our common stock price may be volatile. The
trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.
The price of the common stock may be higher or lower than the
price paid by stockholders, depending on many factors, some of
which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to
our operating performance. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the following:
| • | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; | |
| • | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of business development companies or other financial services companies; | |
| • | volatility resulting from trading in derivative securities related to our common stock including puts, calls, long-term equity anticipation securities, or LEAPs, or short trading positions; | |
| • | changes in laws or regulatory policies or tax guidelines with respect to business development companies or regulated investment companies; | |
| • | actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results or changes in the expectations of securities analysts; | |
| • | general economic conditions and trends; | |
| • | loss of a major funding source; or | |
| • | departures of key personnel. |
The trading market or market value of our publicly issued
debt securities may be volatile. Our publicly
issued debt securities may or may not have an established
trading market. We cannot assure that a trading market for our
publicly issued debt securities will ever develop or be
maintained if developed. In addition to our creditworthiness,
many factors may materially adversely affect the trading market
for, and market value of, our publicly issued debt securities.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | the time remaining to the maturity of these debt securities; | |
| • | the outstanding principal amount of debt securities with terms identical to these debt securities; | |
| • | the supply of debt securities trading in the secondary market, if any; | |
| • | the redemption or repayment features, if any, of these debt securities; | |
| • | the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally; and | |
| • | market rates of interest higher or lower than rates borne by the debt securities. |
There also may be a limited number of buyers for our debt
securities. This too may materially adversely affect the market
value of the debt securities or the trading market for the debt
securities.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment
in the debt securities. Our credit ratings are an
assessment of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently,
real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally
affect the market value of the publicly issued debt securities.
Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential
impact of risks related to market conditions generally or other
factors discussed above on the market value of, or trading
market for, the publicly issued debt securities.
Terms relating to redemption may materially adversely affect
the return on the debt securities. If our debt
securities are redeemable at our option, we may choose to redeem
the debt securities at times when prevailing interest rates are
lower than the interest rate paid on the debt securities. In
addition, if the debt securities are subject to mandatory
121
redemption, we may be required to redeem the debt securities at
times when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest
rate paid on the debt securities. In this circumstance, a holder
of the debt securities may not be able to reinvest the
redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective
interest rate as high as the debt securities being redeemed.
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
No unregistered sales of equity securities occurred during the
quarter ended June 30, 2008. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2008, 262,716 shares of our common stock were
purchased in the open market in order to satisfy dividend
reinvestment requests.
Item 3. Defaults
Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Submission
of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As previously announced, the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of the Company (“Meeting”) was convened in Washington,
DC on April 25, 2008. Shareholders voted on the election of
five directors of the Company, who will serve for three years
and the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP to serve as
the independent registered public accounting firm for the
Company for the year ending December 31, 2008. In addition,
shareholders voted to adjourn the meeting until May 20,
2008, in order to provide additional time to solicit proxies on
the proposal to authorize the Company, with the approval of its
Board of Directors, to sell shares of its common stock below the
Company’s then current net asset value per share in one or
more offerings. The Company continued to solicit proxies leading
up to the reconvening of the Meeting. The Meeting was reconvened
on May 20, 2008. No business was conducted and the Meeting
was adjourned until June 10, 2008, in order to provide
additional time to solicit proxies. The Meeting was reconvened
on June 10, 2008, and shareholders voted on the third
proposal. The results of the voting of each such matter are
described below. There were no broker non-votes for items 1
and 2 below.
