The “percentage of class held on a fully diluted basis” represents the percentage of the class of security we may own assuming we exercise our warrants or options (whether or not they are in-the-money) and assuming that warrants, options or convertible securities held by others are not exercised or converted. We have not included any security which is subject to significant vesting contingencies. Common stock, preferred stock, warrants, options and equity interests are generally non-income producing and restricted. The percentage was calculated based on the most current outstanding share information available to us (i) in the case of private companies, provided by that company, and (ii) in the case of public companies, provided in that company’s most recent public filings with the SEC.

In December 2003, Telecomm North Corp., a wholly owned portfolio company, entered into an agreement to merge with another of the Company’s portfolio companies, Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. The merger was completed in March 2004 with Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. as the surviving corporation.

In January 2005, one of the Company’s majority-owned controlled portfolio companies, Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. completed a merger with Broadview Networks, Inc. The Company’s economic ownership in the new merged entity decreased below 50 percent; however, the Company retained greater than 50 percent of the voting control and, therefore, the Company’s investment will continue to be reflected as a majority-owned control portfolio company.

(10)

In March 2005, one of the Company’s non majority-owned controlled portfolio companies, Creatas, L.L.C., was acquired by a subsidiary of Jupitermedia Corporation, a publicly held corporation. The consideration paid by such subsidiary was a combination of cash and Jupitermedia Corporation common stock.

Note 1. Description of Business and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation

MCG Capital Corporation (“MCG” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) is a solutions-focused financial services company providing financing and advisory services to a variety of small- and medium-sized companies throughout the United States with a focus on growth oriented companies. Currently, our portfolio consists primarily of companies in the communications, information services, media, technology, software and business services industry sectors. The Company is a non-diversified internally managed, closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

On December 4, 2001, MCG completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 13,375,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private offering of 625,000 shares of common stock. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of our corporate income tax return for 2002 which election was effective January 1, 2002. In 2002, MCG raised $54,000 of gross proceeds by selling 3,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock. In 2003, MCG raised $115,863 of gross proceeds by selling 7,475,000 shares of newly issued common stock. In 2004, MCG raised $105,383 of gross proceeds by selling 6,622,155 shares of newly issued common stock. During the first quarter of 2005, MCG raised $31,500 of gross proceeds by selling 2,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock. MCG intends to maintain an active shelf registration statement pursuant to which the company may issue additional shares from time to time.

Interim consolidated financial statements of MCG are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the SEC.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of MCG, including Kagan Research, LLC and MCG’s special purpose financing subsidiaries, MCG Finance I, LLC, MCG Finance II, LLC, MCG Finance III, LLC, MCG Finance IV, LLC, and MCG Finance V, LLC, with all significant intercompany balances eliminated, and the related consolidated results of operations. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest.

Note 2. Investments

As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, investments consisted of the following:


	March 31, 2005						December 31, 2004
	Cost			Fair Value			Cost			Fair Value
Commercial loans	$	778,880		$	769,722		$	767,282		$	760,489
Investments in equity securities		147,758			118,841			131,472			119,911
Unearned income		(10,735	)		(10,735	)		(12,529	)		(12,529	)

Total	$	915,903		$	877,828		$	886,225		$	867,871

MCG’s customer base includes primarily small- and medium-sized private companies in the communications, information services, media, technology, software and business services industry sectors. The proceeds of the loans to these companies are generally used for buyouts, growth, acquisitions, liquidity, refinancings and restructurings. In addition, MCG has occasionally made loans to individuals who are principals in these companies where the proceeds are used for or in connection with the operations or capitalization of such companies. The Company’s debt instruments generally provide for a contractual variable interest rate, a portion of which may be deferred. At March 31, 2005, approximately 78% of loans in the portfolio, based on amounts outstanding at fair value, were at variable rates determined on the basis of a benchmark LIBOR or prime rate and approximately 22% were at fixed rates. In addition, approximately 41% of the loan portfolio has floors of between 1.25% and 3% on the LIBOR base index. The Company’s loans generally have stated maturities at origination that range from 2 to 8 years. Customers typically pay an origination fee based on a percentage of the commitment amount. They also often pay a fee based on any undrawn commitments.

At March 31, 2005, approximately 34% of MCG’s loans had detachable warrants or an option to purchase warrants, stock appreciation rights or other equity interests or other provisions designed to provide the Company with an enhanced internal rate of return. These equity and equity-like instruments generally do not produce a current return, but are held for potential investment appreciation and capital gains. The warrants and options to purchase warrants typically are exercisable immediately and typically remain exercisable for 10 years. The exercise prices on the warrants vary from nominal exercise prices to exercise prices that are at or above the current fair market value of the equity for which MCG is receiving warrants. In some cases, some or all of the deferred interest may be used to pay the exercise price on the warrants or option to purchase warrants. The equity interests and warrants and options to purchase warrants often include registration rights, which allow MCG to register the securities after a public offering. We intend to continue to obtain equity and equity-like instruments with similar features from our customers. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The weighted average borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $462,493 and $278,413, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of the Company’s borrowings, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.11% and 3.04%, respectively. For the above borrowings, the fair value of the borrowings approximates cost.

MCG borrows indirectly through credit facilities maintained by its subsidiaries. MCG’s wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance III, LLC, has a $265,200 term funding securitization agreement under MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2001-1, arranged by Wachovia Securities. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance IV, LLC has a $397,700 term funding securitization agreement under MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2004-1, arranged by UBS AG and MCG’s wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance V, LLC has a $150,000 warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC, an asset-backed commercial paper program administered by SunTrust Bank. The significant terms of these facilities are outlined below.

On September 30, 2004, MCG completed a $397,700 term debt securitization. In addition to funding continued growth, the proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s $200,000 secured warehouse facility, MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2003-1, with UBS AG and all of the outstanding borrowings under its $115,000 revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association. In connection with these repayments, MCG terminated these two facilities. In addition, on September 10, 2004, MCG entered into a $25,000 senior secured credit facility with Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank, AG and on November 10, 2004, MCG established a $150,000 warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC.

Term Securitization 2004-1. On September 30, 2004, MCG established MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2004-1 (the “2004-1 Trust”), which issued three classes of series 2004-1 Notes. The facility was structured to hold up to $397,700 of loans. The facility is secured by all of the 2004-1 Trust’s commercial loans and cash held for investment, which totaled $387,591 and $406,044 as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. This facility is scheduled to terminate July 20, 2016 or sooner upon the full repayment of the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class B Notes. The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes are scheduled to be repaid as MCG receives principal collections on the underlying collateral.

The 2004-1 Trust issued $250,500 of Class A-1 Notes rated Aaa/AAA, $31,500 of Class A-2 Notes rated Aa1/AAA, and $43,500 of Class B Notes rated A2/A as rated by Moody’s and Fitch, respectively. As of March 31, 2005 $312,754 of the Series 2004-1 Notes were outstanding. The Series 2004-1 Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes bear interest of LIBOR plus 0.43%, 0.65%, and 1.30%, respectively.

Term Securitization 2001-1. On December 27, 2001, MCG established the MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2001-1 (the “2001-1 Trust”), which issued two classes of Series 2001-1 Notes. The facility is secured by all of the 2001-1 Trust’s commercial loans which were contributed by MCG and totaled $158,215 as of March 31, 2005 and $194,263 as of December 31, 2004. This facility is scheduled to terminate on February 20, 2013 or sooner upon full repayment of the Class A and Class B Notes. The Class A and Class B Notes are scheduled to be repaid as MCG receives principal collections on the underlying collateral.

In December 2001, the 2001-1 Trust issued $229,860 of Class A Notes rated AAA/Aaa/AAA, and $35,363 of Class B Notes rated A/A2/A as rated by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, $70,707 of Class A Series 2001-1 Notes and $35,363 of Class B Series 2001-1 Notes were outstanding and as of December 31, 2004, $81,537 of Class A Series 2001-1 Notes and $35,363 of Class B Series 2001-1 Notes were outstanding. The Series 2001-1 Class A Notes bear interest of LIBOR plus 0.60% and Series 2001-1 Class B Notes bear interest of LIBOR plus 1.75%, and interest on both is payable quarterly.

Senior Secured Credit Facility. On September 10, 2004, MCG entered into a $25,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Bayerische Hypo-Und Vereinsbank, A.G. and in February 2005, MCG increased the aggregate available loan amount under the facility to $50,000. All new advances under the credit facility are at the discretion of the lender and each has a maturity of one year from the date of the advance and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% or the prime rate plus 0.50%. The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in MCG Capital Corporation’s tangible and intangible assets subject to certain excluded collateral and certain permitted other liens. The credit facility contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, minimum stockholders’ equity and a negative pledge. The credit facility also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice, including, without limitation, nonpayment misrepresentation in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, change of management and material adverse change. As of March 31, 2005, MCG had $35,000 outstanding under the credit facility, $10,000 of which is due in February 2006 and $25,000 of which is due in April 2006.

Commercial Loan Funding Trust Facility. On November 10, 2004, MCG established, through MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, a $150,000 warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC, an asset-backed commercial paper program administered by SunTrust Bank. The warehouse financing facility operates like a revolving credit facility that is primarily secured by the assets of MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, including commercial loans sold to the trust by MCG Capital. The pool of commercial loans in the trust must meet certain requirements, including, but not limited to, term, average life, investment rating, agency rating and sector diversity requirements. There are also certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs. Such limitations, requirements, and associated defined terms are as provided for in the documents governing the facility. Advances under the facility bear interest based on a commercial paper rate plus 1.15% and interest is payable monthly. The facility is scheduled to terminate on November 7, 2007, but may be extended under certain circumstances and is subject to annual renewal by the lender. There was no balance outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2005.

Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 1, 2000, MCG, through MCG Master Trust, established a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which allowed MCG to issue up to $200,000 of Series 2000-1 Class A Notes (the “Series 2000-1 Notes” or “Series 2000-1 Class A Asset Backed Securities”). On February 12, 2004, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, reduce MCG’s borrowing capacity from $200,000 to $130,000 and reduce the interest rate from a commercial paper rate plus 3.0% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. On September 30, 2004, MCG paid off the revolving credit facility with the proceeds from the Term Securitization 2004-1 and terminated the facility.

Warehouse Credit Facility. On January 29, 2004, MCG’s wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, special purpose indirect subsidiary, MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2003-1 entered into a $200,000 secured warehouse credit facility with an affiliate of UBS AG. MCG used the warehouse credit facility to fund its origination and purchase of a diverse pool of loans, including broadly syndicated rated loans, which it securitized using an affiliate of the lender as the exclusive structurer and underwriter or placement agent. Advances under the credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.50%. The warehouse credit facility operated much like a revolving credit facility that is primarily secured by the loans acquired with the advances under the credit facility. On September 30, 2004, MCG paid off the warehouse credit facility with the proceeds from the Term Securitization 2004-1 and terminated the facility.

Each debt facility except the Senior Secured Credit Facility is funded through bankruptcy remote, special purpose, wholly owned subsidiaries of ours and, therefore, their assets may not be available to our creditors.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005		2004
Basic
Net income	$	13,058	$	2,097
Weighted average common shares outstanding		45,108		37,823
Earnings per common share-basic	$	0.29	$	0.06
Diluted
Net income	$	13,058	$	2,097
Weighted average common shares outstanding		45,108		37,823
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock on which forfeiture provisions have not lapsed		41		105

Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents		45,149		37,928
Earnings per common share—diluted	$	0.29	$	0.06

For purposes of calculating earnings per common share, unvested restricted common stock whose forfeiture provisions are solely based on passage of time are included in diluted earnings per common share based on the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted common stock whose forfeiture provisions are based on performance criteria are included in diluted earnings per common share when it becomes probable such criteria will be met and is calculated using the treasury stock method.

Note 5. Employee Stock Plans

MCG periodically recognizes compensation expense associated with the amortization of restricted stock awards granted to employees during 2001. This expense totaled approximately $1,142 and $4,977 for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in long-term incentive compensation in the consolidated statement of operations. The decrease of $3,835 is primarily the result of expenses in the first quarter of 2004 related to modifications to these restricted stock awards.

During the first quarter of 2004, as part of our review of executive compensation, our compensation committee waived the performance-based forfeiture restrictions and modified the time-based forfeiture provisions associated with the Tier III shares of certain of our executive officers through their respective amended and restated restricted stock agreements. As a result, we recorded long-term incentive compensation expense of $4,003 during the first quarter of 2004. The remainder of the compensation expense related to these shares will be amortized over the remaining service period. MCG’s total stock compensation expense would not have changed if SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” was applied.

In addition, our compensation committee agreed to allow the restrictions on certain shares of restricted stock to lapse. As a result, the Tier I and Tier II shares held by certain of our executive officers will vest immediately upon full repayment of the loans that are secured by the restricted stock.

Note 7. Subsequent Events

On April 21, 2005, the Company established, through MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1, a $100 million warehouse credit facility with an affiliate of UBS AG.

The warehouse credit facility allows MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1 to borrow up to $100 million subject to certain covenants, concentration limitations and other restrictions. The warehouse credit facility is primarily secured by the assets of MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1, including commercial loans sold by the Company to the trust, and the lender has partial recourse to MCG Capital.

The Company intends to use the warehouse credit facility to fund its origination and purchase of a diverse pool of loans that will collateralize a potential future term securitization. Advances under the facility bear interest based on LIBOR plus 0.50% and interest is payable monthly. The facility is scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2005, may be extended under certain circumstances, and may be canceled by the lender for cause.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MCG Capital Corporation as of March 31, 2005, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of MCG Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2004, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 1, 2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, including the schedule of investments, 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 information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

This Quarterly Report, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, and “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including without limitation:

•

economic downturns or recessions may impair our customers’ ability to repay our loans and increase our non-performing assets;

•

economic downturns or recessions may disproportionately impact the industry sectors in which we concentrate, and such conditions may cause us to suffer losses in our portfolio and experience diminished demand for capital in these industry sectors;

•

a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

•

interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results;

•

risks associated with terrorism could possibly cause disruption in the Company’s operations; and

•

the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be incorrect. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Overview

MCG Capital Corporation is a solutions-focused financial services company providing financing and advisory services to a variety of small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States with a focus on growth oriented companies. Currently, our portfolio consists primarily of companies in the communications, information services, media, technology, software and business services industry sectors. During 2004 and 2005 our portfolio has become increasingly diversified. Our capital is generally used by our portfolio companies to finance acquisitions, recapitalizations, management buyouts, organic growth and working capital. We are an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to this election, and subject to continuing to qualify as a regulated investment company, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends, allowing us to substantially reduce or eliminate our corporate-level tax liability.

Portfolio Composition and Asset Quality

Our primary business is lending to and investing in growth oriented private businesses, through investments in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity-based investments, including warrants and equity appreciation rights.

Investment activity in the first quarter of 2005 included investments in twelve portfolio companies totaling $116.6 million, including an investment in common stock of Jupitermedia Corporation that we received in the Creatas transaction, and several advances to existing customers totaling $11.4 million. Net growth in the investment portfolio totaled $8.2 million for the first quarter from $880.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $888.6 million at March 31, 2005.

We experience payments in our loan portfolio based on the scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, from time to time we experience pay-offs of some of our investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these early pay-offs may fluctuate significantly from period to period. For the first quarter of 2005, we had loan payments, including payoffs, of $118.4 million. This amount included normal amortization plus pay-offs of $32.0 million from seven portfolio companies in our other diversified sectors, which were all acquired in the broadly syndicated markets, $41.1 million from one portfolio company in the information services industry, which included $19.4 million in debt and $21.7 million in equity, and $11.4 million from one portfolio company in the broadcasting industry.

Total portfolio investment activity (excluding unearned income) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, was as follows:


(dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Investment Portfolio at 12/31/04	$	880.4

(a)

(b)

No individual sector within this category exceeds 1% of the total portfolio.

Asset Quality

Asset quality is generally a function of economic conditions, our underwriting and ongoing management of our investment portfolio. As a business development company, our loans and equity investments are carried at market value or, in the absence of market value, at fair value as determined by our board of directors in good faith on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $38.1 million and $18.4 million, respectively. For additional information on the change in unrealized depreciation on investments, see the section entitled “Net Investment Gains (Losses)”.

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, we also use an investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. We use the following 1 to 5 investment rating scale. Below is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:


Investment Rating		Summary Description
1		Capital gain expected or realized
2		Full return of principal and interest or dividend expected with customer performing in accordance with plan
3		Full return of principal and interest or dividend expected but customer requires closer monitoring
4		Some loss of interest or dividend expected but still expecting an overall positive internal rate of return on the investment
5		Loss of interest or dividend and some loss of principal investment expected which would result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:


(dollars in millions)
	March 31, 2005					December 31, 2004
Investment Rating	Investments at Fair Value			Percentage of Total Portfolio		Investments at Fair Value			Percentage of Total Portfolio
1	$	297.6	(a)	33.5	%	$	301.5	(a)	34.2	%
2		358.0		40.3			375.8		42.7

4		61.2		6.9			59.4		6.7
5		1.2		0.1			1.4		0.2

	$	888.6		100.0	%	$	880.4		100.0	%

(a)

Of this amount, $15.0 million at March 31, 2005 and $15.7 million at December 31, 2004 relates to debt instruments in companies for which we have already realized a gain through the sale of equity instruments. While these debt investments are still outstanding, all of the related equity instruments have already been sold at a gain and, therefore, we do not expect any further realized gain.

We monitor loan concentrations in our portfolio, both on an individual loan basis and on a sector or industry basis, to manage overall portfolio performance due to specific customer issues or specific industry issues. At March 31, 2005, of the investments with a 5 rating, $0.6 million were loans, all of which were on non-accrual. Of the investments with a 4 rating, $53.4 million were loans, of which $11.9 million were on non-accrual. At December 31, 2004, of the investments with a 5 rating, $0.7 million were loans, all of which were on non-accrual. Of the investments with a 4 rating, $54.6 million were loans, of which $13.9 million were on non-accrual.

We monitor individual customer’s financial trends in order to assess the appropriate course of action with respect to each customer and to evaluate overall portfolio quality. We closely monitor the status and performance of each individual investment on a quarterly and, in some cases, a monthly or more frequent basis. Because we are a provider of long-term privately negotiated investment capital to growth-oriented companies and we actively manage our investments through our contract structure and corporate governance rights, we do not believe that contract exceptions such as breaches of contractual covenants or late delivery of financial statements are necessarily an indication of deterioration in the credit quality or the need to pursue remedies or an active workout of a portfolio investment.

When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the customer to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will, as a general matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal has been paid. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were less than $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of loans, or approximately 0.01% and 0.2%, respectively, of the investment portfolio, greater than 60 days past due. At March 31, 2005, $14.2 million of loans, including all of the loans greater than 60 days past due, were on non-accrual status, which represented 1.6% of the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2004, $16.0 million of loans, including all of the loans greater than 60 days past due, were on non-accrual status representing 1.8% of the investment portfolio. The non-accrual and past due loans at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 primarily represented borrowers in the publishing, telecommunications and paging businesses. We believe this situation has arisen because portions of the trade publishing industry which are dependent on financial, technology or telecommunications advertising, have experienced sluggish advertising revenue.

At March 31, 2005, of the $131.7 million of loans to our majority owned portfolio companies, $12.1 million were on non-accrual status. At December 31, 2004, of the $126.2 million of loans to our majority owned portfolio companies, $14.0 million were on non-accrual status. At March 31, 2005, of the $19.4 million of loans to our controlled non-majority owned portfolio companies, $0.6 million were on non-accrual status. At December 31, 2004, of the $38.7 million of loans to our controlled non-majority owned portfolio companies, none were on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2005, of the $49.7 million of loans to other affiliates, $1.5 million were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2004, of the $49.6 million of loans to other affiliates, none were on non-accrual status.

When principal and interest on a loan is not paid within the applicable grace period, we will contact the customer for collection. At that time, we will make a determination as to the extent of the problem, if any. We will then pursue a commitment for immediate payment and if we have not already, we will begin to more actively monitor the investment. We will formulate strategies to optimize the resolution process and will begin the process of restructuring the investment to better reflect the current financial performance of the customer. Such a restructuring may involve deferring payments of principal and interest, adjusting interest rates or warrant positions, imposing additional fees, amending financial or operating covenants or converting debt to equity. In general, in order to compensate us for any enhanced risk, we receive additional compensation from the customer in connection with a restructuring. During the process of monitoring a loan that is out of compliance, we will in appropriate circumstances send a notice of non-compliance outlining the specific defaults that have occurred and preserving our remedies, and initiate a review of the collateral. When a restructuring is not the most appropriate course of action, we may determine to pursue remedies available under our loan documents or at law to minimize any potential losses, including initiating foreclosure and/or liquidation proceedings.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Operating Income

The change in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is attributable to the following items:


(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 vs. 2004
Change due to:
Loan growth (a)	$	4,279
Change in LIBOR (a)		2,461
Change in spread on loans (a)		(3,402	)
Increase in loan fee income		929
Increase in dividend income		1,837
Decrease in advisory fees and other income		(194	)

Total change in operating income	$	5,910

(a)

The change in interest income due to loan growth, change in LIBOR and change in spread has been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the changes in each.

Total operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $28.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 27% compared to the first quarter of 2004. Total operating income is primarily comprised of interest and dividend income on investments. Interest and dividend income for the first quarter of 2005 was $24.6 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 33% compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase in total operating income was due to an increase in loan fee income of approximately $0.9 million, an increase in dividend income of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in interest income of approximately $3.3 million.

The increase in dividend income was primarily related to dividends on preferred stock of one of our majority-owned control portfolio investments, Broadview Networks, Inc., which was our largest portfolio investment at March 31, 2005. Our investment in Broadview is a result of the merger of one of our majority-owned controlled portfolio companies, Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. with Broadview Networks, Inc., which was completed in January 2005. In connection with the merger we acquired debt securities in the combined entity with a cost basis of $34.5 million and preferred securities with a current cost basis of $43.9 million in the combined entity. The preferred securities entitle us to a preferred claim of approximately $90 million, plus dividends, which will accumulate at an annual rate of 12% on our preferred claim. As a result of this merger, our economic ownership in the new merged entity decreased below 50 percent however, we retained greater than 50 percent of the voting control and therefore our investment will continue to be reflected as a majority-owned control portfolio company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, our Bridgecom and Broadview investments accounted for approximately $5.6 million, or 19.8%, of our total operating income. Of this amount, approximately $1.6 million related to income recognition of previously collected fees. These fees were being amortized over the life of our Bridgecom loans. The remaining amount of our operating income related to Bridgecom and Broadview related to interest and dividends on our loan and equity investments in these entities. We currently expect that our Broadview investment will continue to comprise a significant component of our operating income. Our ability to record income related to the accumulating dividends on our preferred securities will be dependent upon the performance of Broadview.

The increase in interest income on loans was due primarily to growth in total loans and an increase in LIBOR partially offset by a decrease in the spread to LIBOR in our loan portfolio. The lower spread to LIBOR is partly due to a change in investment mix, which includes an increase in the proportion of our portfolio that is invested in syndicated loans. These investments generally bear lower risk and yield lower interest rates, which

accounted for approximately $1.5 million of the change in spread. We have originated these investments to enhance our diversification, to reduce overall portfolio risk and to achieve better execution on our debt financing. Further, because LIBOR increased during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004, the spread to LIBOR on fixed rate loans and loans with LIBOR floors decreased. This accounted for approximately $0.9 million of the change in spread. The remainder of $1.0 million is primarily due to the timing of contractual interest rate resets in a rising interest rate environment. At March 31, 2005, the yield on our accruing loan and equity investments, which includes dividend income and loan fees, exceeded the March 31, 2005 90-day LIBOR by 9.9% as compared to 9.2% at December 31, 2004.

Advisory fees and other income decreased $0.2 million from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2005. This decrease was primarily due to $1.5 million of management fees from one of our control investments, Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. prior to its merger with Broadview in the first quarter of 2004 versus none in the first quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in research revenues from our subsidiary Kagan Research, LLC, which we acquired in March of 2004. These research revenues increased in 2005 because we owned Kagan for the entire first quarter of 2005 whereas in 2004 we owned Kagan for only a part of the first quarter. The remaining $0.4 million of change relates primarily to an increase in interest on deposits.

Operating Expenses

The change in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is attributable to the following items:


(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 vs. 2004
Change due to:
Increase in borrowings (a)	$	1,336
Change in LIBOR (a)		1,381
Change in spread (a)		(439	)
Debt cost amortization		303
Salaries and benefits		1,871
Long-term incentive compensation		(3,869	)
General and administrative expense		677

Total change in operating expense	$	1,260

(a)

The change in interest expense due to increase in borrowings, change in LIBOR, and change in spread has been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the changes in each.

Operating expenses are comprised of three components: (1) interest expense, (2) salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses, and (3) long-term incentive compensation. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2005 were $13.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 10% compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Interest expense increased by 123% to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in LIBOR and an increase in average borrowings partially offset by a decrease in the spread to LIBOR. The increase in debt cost amortization is related to an increase in deferred debt costs associated with new debt facilities entered into during the second half of 2004. Amortization of debt costs is recorded using the effective interest method.

Salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses increased 54% to $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2004. For the first quarter of 2005, $1.2 million of the increase in salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses was due to increased expenses associated with Kagan Research, LLC. The Kagan expenses increased in 2005 because we owned Kagan for the entire first quarter of 2005 whereas in 2004 we owned Kagan for only a part of the first quarter. In addition, salaries and benefits increased $1.0 million due to additional hires. The additional hires are part of an ongoing effort to expand our infrastructure in order to support our plans for future growth.

Long-term incentive compensation expense is made up of non-cash amortization of restricted stock awards granted in 2001 and the treatment of dividends on performance based restricted shares and shares securing employee loans as compensation. Long-term incentive compensation totaled $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, our compensation committee waived the performance-based forfeiture restrictions and modified the time-based forfeiture provisions associated with the Tier III shares of certain of our executive officers which resulted in an expense of $4.0 million.

Net Operating Income Before Investment Gains and Losses

Net operating income before investment gains and losses (NOI) for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $14.5 million, an increase of 47% compared with $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2004. This increase is the result of the items described above.

Net Investment Gains and Losses

Net investment losses totaled ($1.4) million for the first quarter of 2005 compared to ($7.7) million for the first quarter of 2004. These amounts represent the total of net realized gains and losses, net unrealized appreciation and depreciation and reversals of unrealized appreciation and depreciation as summarized in the following tables. Reversals of unrealized appreciation and depreciation occur when a gain or loss becomes realized. Net realized gains on investments for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $18.3 million. Reversals of unrealized appreciation and depreciation associated with these realized gains and losses totaled ($20.6) million. The realized gains were primarily attributable to a $20.4 million realized gain on the sale of our Creatas equity investment. The reversal of unrealized appreciation on this Creatas investment totaled ($22.1) million. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the first quarter of 2005 not associated with reversals was $0.9 million of appreciation.

The following table summarizes our realized gains and losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

Net Income

Net income totaled $13.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net income is due to the items discussed above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Cash, Securitization Accounts

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had $50.8 million and $82.7 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had $109.0 million and $79.5 million, respectively, in cash, securitization accounts. Also, at March 31, 2005, we had $1.9 million in cash held in escrow. We invest cash on hand in interest bearing deposit accounts. Cash, securitization accounts includes amounts held in designated bank accounts representing payments received on securitized loans. We are required to use a portion of these amounts to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings, or pay other amounts in accordance with the related securitization agreements and to originate loans. As of March 31, 2005, we had no cash in securitization accounts available for originations of loans that meet certain requirements compared to $41.0 million at December 31, 2004. The majority of the $41.0 million was used to originate loans during the first quarter of 2005. Our objective is to maintain sufficient cash on hand to cover current funding requirements, operations and to maintain flexibility as we manage our debt facilities. Borrowed funds that have not yet been invested may negatively impact our earnings until they are invested since the interest we pay on borrowings typically exceeds the rate of return that we are able to earn on temporary cash investments.

For the first three months of 2005, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $13.7 million, a decrease of $0.5 million over the first three months of 2004. In the first three months of 2005, net cash used in investing and financing activities totaled $45.6 million compared with $36.4 million in the first three months of 2004. The 2005 activity was principally due to higher investment originations in 2005 and an increase in cash securitization accounts used for paydown of principal on debt partially offset by principal payments on loans and issuance of common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our cash on hand and cash generated from operations, including the portion of the cash in securitization accounts that will be released to us, to be adequate to meet our cash needs at our current level of operations. In order to fund new originations, we intend to use cash on hand, advances under our borrowing facilities and equity financings.

In 2003, we raised $115.9 million of gross proceeds by selling 7,475,000 shares of newly issued common stock. In 2004, we raised $105.4 million of gross proceeds by selling 6,622,155 shares of newly issued common stock. During the first quarter of 2005, we raised $31.5 million of gross proceeds by selling 2,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock. We intend to maintain a shelf registration statement.

In order to satisfy the requirements applicable to a regulated investment company, we intend to distribute to our stockholders all of our income except for certain net capital gains and adjustments for long-term incentive compensation. In addition, as a business development company, we generally will be required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. As of March 31, 2005, this ratio was 226%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. To fund growth in our investment portfolio in the future, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital from various sources, including the equity markets and the securitization or other debt-related markets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our customers. These instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to

varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. We attempt to limit our credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence and obtaining collateral where appropriate.

As of March 31, 2005, we had unused commitments to extend credit to our customers of $26.5 million, which are not reflected on our balance sheet. See “Borrowings” section below for discussion of our borrowing facilities.

Contractual Obligations

The following table shows our significant contractual obligations as of March 31, 2005:


	Payments Due by Period
(dollars in millions) Contractual Obligations (a)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		After 5 years
Borrowings (b)	$	453.8	$	174.6	$	139.0	$	112.4	$	27.8
Future minimum rental obligations		12.9		1.7		3.3		3.3		4.6

Total contractual obligations	$	466.7	$	176.3	$	142.3	$	115.7	$	32.4

(a)

This excludes the unused commitments to extend credit to our customers of $26.5 million as discussed above.

(b)

Borrowings under the Warehouse Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility are listed based on the contractual maturity of the respective facility due to the revolving nature of the facilities. Repayments of the Series 2001-1 Notes are based on the contractual principal collections of the loans which comprise the collateral. Repayments of the Series 2004-1 Notes are based on the contractual maturity of the facility because the required payments are based on principal collections of the loans that comprise the collateral. Actual repayments could differ significantly due to prepayments by our borrowers and modifications of our borrowers’ existing loan agreements.

Borrowings

We borrow indirectly through credit facilities maintained by our subsidiaries. Our wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance III, LLC, has a $265.2 million term funding securitization agreement under MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2001-1, arranged by Wachovia Securities. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance IV, LLC has a $397.7 million term funding securitization agreement under MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2004-1, arranged by UBS AG and our wholly owned subsidiary, MCG Finance V, LLC has a $150.0 million warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC, an asset-backed commercial paper program administered by SunTrust Bank. The material terms of these facilities are outlined below.

On September 30, 2004, we completed a $397.7 million term debt securitization. In addition to funding continued growth, the proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under our $200 million secured warehouse facility, MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2003-1, with UBS AG and all of the outstanding borrowings under our $115 million revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association. In connection with these repayments, we terminated these two facilities. In addition, on September 10, 2004, we entered into a $25.0 million senior secured credit facility with Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank, AG and on November 10, 2004, we established a $150.0 million warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC.

Term Securitization 2004-1. On September 30, 2004, we established MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2004-1 (the “2004-1 Trust”), which issued three classes of series 2004-1 Notes. The facility was structured to hold up to $397.7 million of loans. The facility is secured by all of the 2004-1 Trust’s commercial loans, and cash held for investment, which totaled $387.6 million and $406.0 million as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. This facility is scheduled to terminate July 20, 2016 or sooner upon the full repayment of the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class B Notes. The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes are scheduled to be repaid as we receive principal collections on the underlying collateral.

The 2004-1 Trust issued $250.5 million of Class A-1 Notes rated Aaa/AAA, $31.5 million of Class A-2 Notes rated Aa1/AAA, and $43.5 million of Class B Notes rated A2/A as rated by Moody’s and Fitch, respectively. As of March 31, 2005 $312.7 million of the Series 2004-1 Notes were outstanding. The Series 2004-1 Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes bear interest of LIBOR plus 0.43%, 0.65%, and 1.30%, respectively.

Term Securitization 2001-1. On December 27, 2001, we established the MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2001-1 (the “2001-1 Trust”), which issued two classes of Series 2001-1 Notes. The facility is secured by all of the 2001-1 Trust’s commercial loans which were contributed by us and totaled $158.2 million as of March 31, 2005 and $194.3 million as of December 31, 2004. This facility is scheduled to terminate on February 20, 2013 or sooner upon full repayment of the Class A and Class B Notes. The Class A and Class B Notes are scheduled to be repaid as we receive principal collections on the underlying collateral.

In December 2001 the 2001-1 Trust issued $229.8 million of Class A Notes rated AAA/Aaa/AAA, and $35.4 million of Class B Notes rated A/A2/A (the “Series 2001-1 Class A Asset Backed Bonds” and “Series 2001-1 Class B Asset Backed Bonds”) as rated by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, $70.7 million of the Series 2001-1 Notes were outstanding and $116.9 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The Series 2001-1 Class A Asset Backed Bonds bear interest of LIBOR plus 0.60% and Series 2001-1 Class B Asset Backed Bonds bear interest of LIBOR plus 1.75%, and interest on both is payable quarterly.

Senior Secured Credit Facility. On September 10, 2004, we entered into a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Bayerische Hypo-Und Vereinsbank, A.G. and in February 2005, we increased the aggregate available loan amount under this facility to $50.0 million. All new advances under the credit facility are at the discretion of the lender and each has a maturity of one year from the date of the advance and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% or the prime rate plus 0.50%. The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in our tangible and intangible assets subject to certain excluded collateral and certain permitted other liens. The credit facility contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, minimum stockholders’ equity and a negative pledge. The credit facility also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice, including, without limitation, nonpayment misrepresentation in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, change of management and material adverse change. As of March 31, 2005, we had $35.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, $10.0 million of which is due in February 2006 and $25.0 million of which is due in April 2006.

Commercial Loan Funding Trust Facility. On November 10, 2004, we established, through MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, a $150.0 million warehouse financing facility funded through Three Pillars Funding LLC, an asset-backed commercial paper program administered by SunTrust Bank. The warehouse financing facility operates like a revolving credit facility that is primarily secured by the assets of MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, including commercial loans sold to the trust by MCG Capital. The pool of commercial loans in the trust must meet certain requirements, including, but not limited to, term, average life, investment rating, agency rating and sector diversity requirements. There are also certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs. Such limitations, requirements, and associated defined terms are as provided for in the documents governing the facility. Advances under the facility bear interest based on a commercial paper rate plus 1.15% and interest is payable monthly. The facility is scheduled to terminate on November 7, 2007, but may be extended under certain circumstances and is subject to annual renewal by the lender. There was no balance outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2005.

Revolving Credit Facility As of June 1, 2000, we, through MCG Master Trust, established a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which allowed us to issue up to $200.0 million of Series 2000-1 Class A Notes (the “Series 2000-1 Notes” or “Series 2000-1 Class A Asset Backed Securities”). On February 12, 2004, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, reduce our borrowing capacity from $200.0 million to $130.0 million and reduce the interest rate from a commercial paper rate plus 3.0% to LIBOR plus

1.5%. On September 30, 2004, we paid off the revolving credit facility with the proceeds from the Term Securitization 2004-1 and terminated the facility.

Warehouse Credit Facility. On January 29, 2004, our wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, special purpose indirect subsidiary, MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2003-1 entered into a $200 million secured warehouse credit facility with an affiliate of UBS AG. We used the warehouse credit facility to fund our origination and purchase of a diverse pool of loans, including broadly syndicated rated loans, which we securitized using an affiliate of the lender as the exclusive structurer and underwriter or placement agent. Advances under the credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.50%. The warehouse credit facility operated much like a revolving credit facility that is primarily secured by the loans acquired with the advances under the credit facility. On September 30, 2004, we paid off the warehouse credit facility with the proceeds from the Term Securitization 2004-1 and terminated the facility.

Outstanding Borrowings

At March 31, 2005, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $453.8 million. The following table shows the facility amounts and outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2005:

The weighted average borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $462.5 million and $278.4 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.11% and 3.04%, respectively. For the above borrowings, the fair value of the borrowings approximates cost.

At December 31, 2004, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $467.4 million. The following table shows the facility amounts and outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2004:

Each debt facility except the Senior Secured Credit Facility are funded through bankruptcy remote, special purpose, wholly owned subsidiaries of ours and, therefore, their assets may not be available to our creditors.

Subject to certain minimum equity restrictions and other covenants, including restrictions on which loans we may leverage as collateral, the unused amount under the Commercial Loan Funding Trust totaled $150.0 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our borrowings.

Dividends

We intend to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders of all of our income, except for certain net capital gains and adjustments for long-term incentive compensation expense. We intend to make deemed distributions to our stockholders of any retained net capital gains. We have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our status as a regulated investment company, we are required to (i) distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and 90% of any ordinary pre-RIC built in gains we recognize between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2011, less any taxes due on those gains to avoid corporate level taxes on the amount distributed to stockholders (other than any built in gain recognized between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2011) and (ii) distribute (actually or on a deemed basis) at least 98% of our income (both ordinary income and net capital gains) to avoid an excise tax.

Through March 31, 2005, we have made distributions in excess of our earnings of approximately $42.5 million. In addition, through March 31, 2005, we have net unrealized depreciation on our investments of $38.1 million. 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, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and due to provisions in our credit facilities. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure shareholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.

The following table summarizes our dividends declared and paid on all shares, including restricted stock, to date:

Total Declared			$	6.79

Prior to becoming a business development company, we did not make distributions to our stockholders, but instead retained all of our income. The aggregate dividend of $0.86 per share in December 2001 consisted of a dividend of $0.25 per share for the fourth quarter of 2001 and an additional dividend of $0.61 per share

representing the distribution of substantially all of our earnings and profits since inception through December 31, 2001. The aggregate dividend of $0.46 declared in September 2002 consisted of a dividend of $0.43 per share for the first quarter of 2002 and an additional dividend of $0.03 per share which represented the remaining distribution of our earnings and profits since inception through December 31, 2001. The aggregate dividend declared in December 2001 along with the $0.03 dividend declared in September, 2002 were required for us to qualify as a regulated investment company.

A return of capital for federal income tax purposes, which we call a tax return of capital, of $0.53 per share occurred with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the dividend (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus which is a nontaxable distribution) is mailed to our stockholders. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our dividends for that fiscal year, a portion of those dividend distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to our stockholders.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to election to be regulated as a business development company, we terminated our stock option plan and adopted a restricted stock program under which we issued 1,539,851 shares of restricted common stock to employees and directors. The total number of shares issued for the termination of the option plan was based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions and approved by our board of directors.

Additionally, in connection with the termination of our stock option plan, certain executive officers and employees purchased a portion of the 1,539,851 shares of restricted common stock at a per share price of $17.00. Those executive officers and employees issued partially non-recourse notes to us, with an aggregate face value of $5.8 million secured by approximately 1.4 million shares with a value of $23.8 million at the initial public offering price. The notes are payable at the end of a four and a half-year term, subject to acceleration, bear interest at 4.13% payable annually and are secured by all of the restricted common stock held by such employee and for some employees, for a specified time-period, additional shares of our common stock the employee owns. The notes are non-recourse as to the principal amount but recourse as to the interest. Amounts due on these loans are reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

In the first quarter of 2004, as part of a review of our executive compensation, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors agreed with certain of our executive officers to allow the forfeiture restrictions to lapse with respect to their Tier I and Tier II shares immediately upon full repayment of the partially nonrecourse promissory notes that are secured by the restricted stock. In addition, the compensation committee waived the performance-based forfeiture restrictions and modified the time-based forfeiture provisions associated with the Tier III shares through their respective amended and restated restricted stock agreements. The expense associated with the modifications totaled $5.8 million for 2004, of which $4.0 million was expensed in the first quarter of 2004.

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Income Recognition

Interest on commercial loans is recognized when earned and is computed by methods that generally result in level rates of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the customer to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will, as a general

matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal has been paid. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the investment is well secured and in the process of collection.

Paid-in-Kind Interest

We include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual paid-in-kind (PIK) interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term. We will cease accruing PIK if we do not expect the customer to be able to pay all principal and interest due. In certain cases, a customer makes principal payments on its loan prior to making payments to reduce the PIK loan balances and, therefore, the PIK portion of a customer’s loan can increase while the total outstanding amount of the loan to that customer may stay the same or decrease. PIK loans represented $17.3 million or 1.9% of our portfolio of investments as of March 31, 2005 and $17.3 million or 2.0% of our portfolio of investments as of December 31, 2004.

PIK related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows:


(in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Beginning PIK loan balance	$	17.3
PIK interest earned during the period		3.2
Principal payments of cash on PIK loans		(3.2	)

Ending PIK loan balance	$	17.3

As noted above, in certain cases, a customer may make principal payments on its loan that are contractually applied first to the non-PIK loan balance instead of the PIK loan balance. If all principal payments from these customers had been applied first to any PIK loan balance outstanding at the time of the payment, and any remainder applied to the non-PIK loan balance, an additional $4.4 million of payments would have been applied against the March 31, 2005 PIK loan balance of $17.3 million and an additional $5.8 million of payments would have been applied against the December 31, 2004 PIK loan balance of $17.3 million.

As of March 31, 2005, 85.6% of the $17.3 million of PIK loans outstanding have an investment rating of 3 or better and as of December 31, 2004, 87.5% of the $17.3 million of PIK loans outstanding had an investment rating of 3 or better. The net increase in loan balances as a result of contracted PIK arrangements is separately identified in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Dividends

Certain of our equity investments have stated accruing dividend rates. We accrue dividends on our equity investments as they are earned to the extent there is sufficient value to support the ultimate payment of those dividends.

Dividend related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows:


(in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Beginning accrued dividend balance	$	5.4
Dividend income earned during the period		3.2
Payment of previously accrued dividends		(5.4	)

Ending accrued dividend balance	$	3.2

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees are deferred and amortized as adjustments to the related loan’s yield over the contractual life of the loan. In certain loan arrangements, warrants or other equity interests are received from the borrower as additional origination fees. The borrowers granting these interests are typically non-publicly traded companies. We record the financial instruments received at fair value as determined by our board of directors. Fair values are determined using various valuation models which attempt to estimate the underlying value of the associated entity. These models are then applied to our ownership share considering any discounts for transfer restrictions or other terms which impact the value. Changes in these values are recorded through our statement of operations. Any resulting discount on the loan from recordation of warrant and other equity instruments are accreted into income over the term of the loan. We had $10.7 million and $12.5 million of unearned income as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Unearned fee activity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and year ended December 31, 2004 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,									Year Ended December 31, 2004
(in millions)	Cash Received			Equity Interest and Future Receivables			Total			Cash Received			Equity Interest and Future Receivables			Total
Beginning unearned income balance	$	5.0		$	7.5		$	12.5		$	5.6		$	10.8		$	16.4
Additional fees		1.1			—			1.1			2.8			2.3			5.1
Unearned income recognized		(0.7	)		(2.1	)		(2.8	)		(3.0	)		(5.6	)		(8.6	)
Unearned fees applied against loan balance (a)		(0.1	)		—			(0.1	)		(0.4	)		—			(0.4	)

Ending unearned income balance	$	5.3		$	5.4		$	10.7		$	5.0		$	7.5		$	12.5

(a)

When a loan is paid off at an amount below our cost basis, we apply any fees received that have not been recognized as income against the outstanding loan amount to reduce the cost basis, which has the effect of reducing any realized loss.

Other Fees

In certain investment transactions, we may perform consulting or advisory services. For services that are separately identifiable and external evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned which is often when an investment transaction closes.

Valuation of Investments

Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, 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 a substantial portion of our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors pursuant to a valuation policy and a consistent valuation process. At March 31, 2005, approximately 84% of our total assets represented investments of which approximately 89% are recorded at fair value and approximately 11% are valued at market value based on readily ascertainable public market quotes at March 31, 2005. Because of the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, 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 standard 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. Unlike banks, we are not permitted to provide a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, we must determine

the fair value of each individual investment on a quarterly basis. We will record unrealized depreciation on investments when we believe that an investment has decreased in value, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, we will record unrealized appreciation if we believe that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, our investment has also appreciated in value, where appropriate.

As a business development company, we invest primarily in illiquid securities including debt and equity securities of private companies. The structure of each debt and equity security is specifically negotiated to enable us to protect our investment and maximize our returns. We generally include many terms governing interest rate, repayment terms, prepayment penalties, financial covenants, operating covenants, ownership and corporate governance parameters, dilution parameters, liquidation preferences, voting rights, and put or call rights. In many cases, our loan agreements also allow for increases in the spread to the base index rate if the financial or operational performance of the customer deteriorates or shows negative variances from the customer’s business plan and, in some cases, allow for decreases in the spread if financial or operational performance improves or exceeds the customer’s plan. Our investments are generally subject to some 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.

With respect to private debt and equity securities, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and, where appropriate, the value is assigned a discount reflecting the illiquid nature of the investment and/or our minority, non-control position. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering, or subsequent debt or equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event will be used to corroborate our private debt or equity valuation. Securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange generally will be valued at the prevailing bid price on the valuation date. However, restricted or thinly traded public securities may be valued at discounts from the public market value due to the restrictions on sale.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. For restricted common stock issued to employees for whom no return-based criteria apply, compensation expense, equal to the value of the shares at the later of the grant date or the date at which all return-based forfeiture provisions lapsed or were removed, is recorded over the term of the forfeiture provisions. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our employee stock plans.

Securitization Transactions

Periodically, we transfer pools of loans to special purpose entities (SPEs) for use in securitization transactions. These on-balance sheet securitization transactions comprise a significant source of our overall funding, with the total face amount of the outstanding loans and equity investments assumed by third parties equaling $543.4 million at March 31, 2005 and $536.5 million at December 31, 2004. Transfers of loans have not met the requirements of SFAS No. 140 for sales treatment and are, therefore, treated as secured borrowings, with the transferred loans remaining in investments and the related liability recorded in borrowings.

Recent Development

On April 21, 2005, we established, through MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1, a $100 million warehouse credit facility with an affiliate of UBS AG.

The warehouse credit facility allows MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1 to borrow up to $100 million subject to certain covenants, concentration limitations and other restrictions. The warehouse credit facility is primarily secured by the assets of MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2005-1, including commercial loans sold by us to the trust, and the lender has partial recourse to MCG Capital.

We intend to use the warehouse credit facility to fund our origination and purchase of a diverse pool of loans that will collateralize a potential future term securitization. Advances under the facility bear interest based on LIBOR plus 0.50% and interest is payable monthly. The facility is scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2005, may be extended under certain circumstances, and may be canceled by the lender for cause.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below and all other information contained in this quarterly report, including our financial statements and the related notes and the schedules and exhibits to this quarterly report.

Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Results

We have a limited operating history as a business development company and as a regulated investment company, which may impair your ability to assess our prospects.

Prior to our initial public offering in December 2001, we had not operated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act, or as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, we have limited operating results under these regulatory frameworks that can demonstrate to you either their effect on our business or our ability to manage our business under these frameworks. In addition, prior to our initial public offering, our management had no prior experience managing a business development company or regulated investment company. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate successfully as a business development company and a regulated investment company.

Because there is generally no established market for which to value our investments, our board of directors’ determination of the value of our investments may differ materially from the values that a ready market or third party would attribute to these investments.

Under the 1940 Act, we are required to carry our portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by our board. We are not permitted to maintain a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, we are required by the 1940 Act to specifically value each individual investment and to record any unrealized depreciation for any asset that we believe has decreased in value. Because there is typically no public market for the loans and equity securities of the companies in which we invest, our board will determine the fair value of these loans and equity securities on a quarterly basis pursuant to our valuation policy. Because of the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments determined in good faith by the board of directors may differ significantly from the values that have been used had a ready market existed for the investment and the differences could be material.

We make loans to and invest in primarily small- and medium-sized privately owned companies, which may default on their loans, thereby reducing or eliminating the return on our investments.

Our portfolio primarily consists of loans to and securities issued by small- and medium-sized privately owned businesses. Compared to larger publicly owned firms, these companies may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may have more limited access to capital and higher funding costs, may have a weaker financial position, and may need more capital to expand or compete. These businesses also may experience substantial variations in operating results. They may face intense competition, including from companies with greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Typically, they also depend for their success on the management talents and efforts of an individual or a small group of persons. The death, disability or resignation of any of their key employees could harm their financial condition. Furthermore, some of these companies do business in regulated industries and could be affected by changes in government regulation. Accordingly, these factors could impair their cash flow or result in other events, such as bankruptcy, which could limit their ability to repay their obligations to us, and may adversely affect the return on, or the recovery of, our investment in these businesses. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in any collateral for the loan.

Some of these companies may be unable to obtain financing from public capital markets or from traditional credit sources, such as commercial banks. Accordingly, advances made to these types of customers may entail a higher risk of loss than advances made to customers who are able to utilize traditional credit sources. These conditions may also make it difficult for us to obtain repayment of our loans.

Furthermore, there is generally no publicly available information about such companies and we must rely on the diligence of our employees to obtain information in connection with our investment decisions. If we are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a fully informed investment decision and we may lose money on our investments.

If the industry sectors in which our portfolio is currently concentrated experience adverse economic or business conditions, our operating results may be negatively impacted.

Currently our customer base is primarily in the communications, information services, media, technology, software and business services, industry sectors. These sectors are characterized by high margins, high growth rates, consolidation and product and market extension opportunities. Value often is vested in intangible assets and intellectual property. These customers can experience adverse business conditions or risks related to their industries.

Accordingly, if our customers suffer (as some customers currently are) due to these adverse business conditions or risks or due to economic slowdowns or downturns in these industry sectors, we will be more vulnerable to losses in our portfolio and our operating results may be negatively impacted. Furthermore, if demand for financing by existing and new customers in these industries declines, we may not be able to increase our lending and investment volume and our operating results will be adversely affected.

Our financial results could be negatively affected if Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc. fails to perform as expected.

At March 31, 2005, our largest portfolio investment was Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc. (“Broadview”), which totaled $78.4 million at value, or 9% of the fair value of our investments. In connection with the merger between Bridgecom Holdings, Inc. and Broadview, which closed during January 2005, we acquired debt securities in the newly merged entity with a cost basis of $34.5 million and preferred securities with a current cost basis of $43.9 million in the newly merged entity. The preferred securities entitle us to a preferred claim of approximately $90.0 million, plus dividends, which will accumulate at an annual rate of 12% on our preferred claim. We expect to recognize these dividends as income on a quarterly basis; however, our ability to record income related to these accumulating dividends will be dependent upon the performance of the combined entity. Our financial results could be negatively affected if this portfolio company fails to perform as expected.

Economic downturns or recessions could impair our customers’ ability to repay our loans, harm our operating results and reduce our volume of new loans.

Many of our customers may be susceptible to economic downturns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing 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 collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Economic downturns or recessions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in net income. Unfavorable economic conditions could also lead to a decrease in revenues and assets.

An economic downturn could disproportionately impact the industry sectors in which we concentrate causing us to be more vulnerable to losses in our portfolio and experience diminished demand for capital in these industry sectors and, consequently, our operating results may be negatively impacted.

Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing our loan originations and investments and harm our operating results.

If we fail to qualify as a regulated investment company, we will have to pay corporate-level taxes on our income and our income available for distribution would be reduced.

We have elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. If we can meet certain requirements, including source of income, asset diversification and distribution requirements, as well as if we continue to qualify as a business development company, we will qualify to be a regulated investment company and will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends, allowing us to substantially reduce or eliminate our corporate-level tax liability. Covenants and provisions in our credit facilities limit the ability of our subsidiaries and our securitization trusts to make distributions to us, which could affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and to maintain our status as a regulated investment company. 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 distribution 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. Moreover, if we do not distribute at least 98% of our income, we generally will be subject to a 4% excise tax.

Because we will distribute substantially all of our income to our stockholders, we will continue to need additional capital to finance our growth. If additional capital is unavailable or not available on favorable terms, our ability to grow will be impaired.

In order to satisfy the requirements applicable to a regulated investment company, we intend to distribute to our stockholders all of our income except for certain net capital gains. We expect to elect to make deemed distributions to our stockholders of the retained net capital gains. In addition, as a business development company, we generally will be required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which includes all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. Because we will continue to need capital to grow our loan and investment portfolio, this limitation may prevent us from incurring debt and require us to raise additional equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, or may be restricted by the terms of our securitization facilities. If additional funds are not available to us, we could be forced to curtail or cease our new lending and investment activities, and our net asset value could decrease.

We have substantial indebtedness and servicing our indebtedness could reduce funds available to grow our business or make new investments.

As of March 31, 2005, we had $418.8 million of outstanding borrowings under our debt facilities As a result, our current financial structure has a high proportion of debt and our debt service is substantial. As of March 31, 2005, the weighted average annual interest rate on all of our outstanding borrowings was 3.48%. In order for us to cover our annual interest payments on indebtedness, we must achieve annual returns on our March 31, 2005 total assets of at least 1.48%. Our ability to service our debt depends largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.

In addition, our subsidiaries have sold some of our loans to trusts that serve as the vehicles for our securitization facilities, and we do not hold legal title to these assets. However, we bear losses of principal and interest from defaults on these loans held by the trusts up to the amount of our retained interest in the trusts, which was approximately $233.8 million as of March 31, 2005.

Our securitization facilities impose financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

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. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. If the value of our consolidated assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more than it otherwise would have had we not utilized leverage. Conversely, if the value of our consolidated assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value attributable to our common stock to decline more than it otherwise would have had we not utilized leverage. Similarly, any increase in our consolidated revenue in excess of consolidated interest expense on our borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the use of leverage. Any decrease in our consolidated revenue would cause net income to decline more than it would have had we not borrowed funds and could negatively affect our ability to make distributions on our common stock.

As a business development company, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. If this ratio declines below 200%, we may not be able to incur additional debt and may need to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so, and we may not be able to make distributions. At March 31, 2005, this ratio was approximately 226%.

In addition, because substantially all of our assets and liabilities are priced using various short-term rate indices, including one-month to six-month LIBOR, commercial paper rates and the prime rate, the timing of changes in market interest rates or in the relationship between interest rate indices could affect the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets differently than the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which could result in a decrease in net income.

If we are not able to refinance our debt or able to do so on favorable terms, we would not be able to operate our business in the ordinary course.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2005 and our $150.0 million warehouse financing facility through Three Pillars Funding, LLC is scheduled to terminate on November 7, 2007. Further, our $150.0 million warehouse financing facility is subject to annual renewal by the lender.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to extend the terms of these facilities or obtain sufficient funds to repay any amounts outstanding under these facilities before they expire or terminate either from a replacement facility or alternative debt or equity financing. If we are unable to repay amounts outstanding under these facilities and are declared in default or are unable to refinance these facilities, we would not be able to operate our business in the regular course. Even if we are able to refinance our debt, we may not be able to do so on favorable terms.

You may not receive 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, restrictions and provisions in our debt facilities limit our ability to make distributions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure you that you will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contracted payment-in-kind interest, which

represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. The increases in loan balances as a result of contracted payment-in-kind arrangements are included in income in advance of receiving cash payment, and are separately identified on our consolidated statements 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 maintain regulated investment company tax treatment. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies.”

If we fail to manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected.

We have expanded our operations significantly since purchasing our business from First Union National Bank in 1998. Our growth has placed and could continue to place significant strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our marketing capabilities, our management of the investment process, our access to financing resources and our technology. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We may not develop sufficient lending and administrative personnel and management and operating systems to manage our expansion effectively. If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations could be adversely affected and our financial results could be adversely affected.

If we need to sell any of our investments, we may not be able to do so at a favorable price and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

Our investments are usually subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading market for such investments. The illiquidity of most of our investments may make it difficult for us to dispose of them at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses. In addition, if we were forced to immediately liquidate some or all of the investments in our portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation could be significantly less than the current value of such investments. We may be required to liquidate some or all of our portfolio to meet our debt service obligations or to maintain our qualification as a business development company and as a regulated investment company if we do not satisfy one or more of the applicable criteria under the respective regulatory frameworks.

Our business depends on our key personnel.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of Bryan J. Mitchell, our Chief Executive Officer, Steven F. Tunney, our President and Chief Operating Officer, B. Hagen Saville, one of our Executive Vice Presidents, and Robert J. Merrick, our Chief Credit Officer, as well as other key personnel. The loss of any of these key employees would likely have a significant detrimental effect on our business. In addition, if any two of Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Saville, Mr. Tunney or Mr. Merrick cease to be actively involved in our management, the lender under one of our warehouse financing facilities could, absent a waiver or cure, replace us as the servicer of the loans and declare a default. In addition, if any two of Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Tunney or Mr. Saville cease to be an executive officer of MCG actively involved in the management of MCG, the lender of our Senior Secured Credit Facility could, absent a waiver or cure, declare a default.

Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our income.

A significant increase in market interest rates could harm our ability to attract new customers and originate new loans and investments, our non-performing assets could increase and the value of our portfolio could decrease because our floating-rate loan customers may be unable to meet higher payment obligations. Conversely, a significant decrease in interest rates would reduce our net income, all other things being equal. A decrease in interest rates may reduce net income despite the increased demand for our capital that the decrease in interest rates may produce. Approximately 78% of the loans in our portfolio, based on amounts outstanding at cost as of March 31, 2005, were at variable rates determined on the basis of a benchmark LIBOR or prime rate and approximately 22% were at fixed rates. From October 1, 2003 to March 31, 2005, three-month LIBOR has increased from 1.15% to 3.12%.

Regulations governing our operation as a business development company will affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.

We have issued debt securities and may issue debt securities and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively as “senior securities,” up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a business development company, to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the current net asset value of the common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of MCG and its stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price which, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount).

Any change in regulation of our business could negatively affect the profitability of our operations.

Changes in the laws, regulations or interpretations of the laws and regulations that govern business development companies, regulated investment companies or non-depository commercial lenders could significantly affect our operations and our cost of doing business. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and are subject to judicial and administrative decisions that affect our operations. If these laws, regulations or decisions change, or if we expand our business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent requirements than those in which we currently conduct business, we may have to incur significant expenses in order to comply or we might have to restrict our operations.

Our ability to invest in private companies may be limited in certain circumstances.

If we are to maintain our status as a business development company, we must 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. If we acquire debt or equity securities from an issuer that has outstanding marginable securities at the time we make an investment, these acquired assets generally cannot be treated as qualifying assets. This result is dictated by the definition of “eligible portfolio company” under the 1940 Act, which in part focuses on whether a company has outstanding marginable securities.

Amendments promulgated in 1998 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System expanded the definition of a marginable security under the Federal Reserve’s margin rules to include any non-equity security. Thus, any debt securities issued by any entity are marginable securities under the Federal Reserve’s current margin rules. As a result, the staff of the SEC has raised the question as to whether a private company that has outstanding debt securities would qualify under the relevant portion of the “eligible portfolio company” criteria. The SEC has recently issued proposed rules to include any company that does not have a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or association in the definition of “eligible portfolio company.”

Until the question raised by the staff of the SEC pertaining to the Federal Reserve’s 1998 change to its margin rules has been addressed by final legislative, administrative or judicial action, we intend to treat as qualifying assets only those debt and equity securities that are issued by a private company that has no marginable securities outstanding at the time we purchase such securities or that otherwise qualifies as an “eligible portfolio company” under the 1940 Act.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from the changes in the level of interest rates. Our net interest income is affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR, prime rates and commercial paper rates. Over 71% of our loan portfolio bears interest at a spread to LIBOR, with the remainder bearing interest at a fixed rate or at a spread to a prime rate. Approximately 41% of our loan portfolio has a LIBOR floor, at various levels. Our interest rates on our borrowings are based on LIBOR and commercial paper rates, with the majority based on LIBOR. At March 31, 2005, the yield on our accruing loan and equity investments, which includes dividend income and loan fees, exceeded the March 31, 2005 90-day LIBOR by 9.9%.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We have interest rate risk exposure mainly from the portion of the commercial loan portfolio funded using stockholders’ equity. Our board of directors assesses interest rate risk and we manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis. The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our interest bearing cash, outstanding commercial loans and our outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:


	March 31, 2005				December 31, 2004
(dollars in millions)	Interest Bearing Cash and Commercial Loans		Borrowings		Interest Bearing Cash and Commercial Loans		Borrowings
Repurchase Agreement Rate	$	159.4			$	160.4
Money Market Rate		2.0				—
Prime Rate		48.9				38.8
30-Day LIBOR		25.3				43.6
60-Day LIBOR		42.7				7.1
90-Day LIBOR		457.4	$	453.8		514.7	$	467.4
180-Day LIBOR		23.2				34.0
Fixed Rate		172.2				122.3

Total	$	931.1	$	453.8	$	920.9	$	467.4

Based on our March 31, 2005 balance sheet, the following table shows the impact of base rate changes in interest rates assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure. The impact of an additional 100 basis point increase is different from the first 100 basis point increase due to the imposition of LIBOR floors.

(dollars in millions)


Basis Point Change	Interest Income			Interest Expense			Net Income
(100)	$	(6.9	)	$	(4.5	)	$	(2.4	)
100	$	7.7		$	4.5		$	3.2
200	$	15.3		$	9.1		$	6.2
300	$	23.0		$	13.6		$	9.4

Currently, we do not engage in hedging activities because we have determined that the cost of hedging the risks associated with interest rate changes outweighs the risk reduction benefit. We monitor this strategy on an ongoing basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

As of the end of the period covered by this report, MCG carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of MCG’s management, including MCG’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of MCG’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that MCG’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to MCG that is required to be disclosed by MCG in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(b)

There have been no changes in MCG’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, MCG’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
