MCG Capital Corporation
Consolidated Schedule of Investments
December 31, 2011
(dollars in thousands)
(1) 
Some or all of this security is held by our SBIC subsidiary or one of our other financing subsidiaries and may have been pledged as collateral in connection therewith. See Note 5—Borrowings to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) 
Includes securities issued by one or more of the portfolio company’s affiliates.
(3) 
Affiliate investments represent companies in which we own at least 5%, but not more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(4) 
Control investments represent companies in which we own more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(5) 
Represents a non-majority-owned control portfolio company of which we own at least 25%, but not more than 50% of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(6) 
Equity security is non-income producing at period-end.
(7) 
Loan or debt security is on non-accrual status.
(8) 
We did not recognize paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest or accretion income because the fair value of our investment was below its cost basis. However, we continue to accrue interest that is receivable in cash from the portfolio company.
(9) 
Interest rates represent the weighted-average annual stated interest rate on debt securities, presented by nature of indebtedness for a single issuer. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest that is added to the principal balance of the debt security and compounded if not paid on a current basis. PIK may be prepaid by either contract or the portfolio company's choice, but generally is paid at the end of the loan term. Rates on preferred stock and preferred LLC interests, where applicable, represent the contractual rate.
(10) 
In February 2012, we accepted $23.7 million for our senior preferred stock and warrant position in Jenzabar.  The consideration received also settled any and all direct claims and counterclaims asserted in the litigation by and among the Company, Jenzabar and certain Jenzabar officers and directors.  We will receive the balance of the payment for our position in Jenzabar in the amount of $990,000 for our subordinated preferred stock and will exchange those shares upon the final dismissal of the litigation, including the dismissal of the derivative claims.
(11) 
In the three months ended June 30, 2012, Jet Plastica Investors, LLC liquidated substantially all of its assets.  Including the proceeds from the liquidation, we have received $11.0 million of payments on our senior debt.  We anticipate receiving additional payments on our senior debt upon future collection of certain accounts receivable.

MCG Capital Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of MCG Capital Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “MCG” refer to MCG Capital Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We are a solutions-focused commercial finance company that provides capital and advisory services to middle-market companies throughout the United States. We are an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. Our organization includes the following categories of subsidiaries:
Wholly Owned Special-Purpose Financing Subsidiaries—These subsidiaries are bankruptcy remote, special-purpose entities to which we transfer certain loans. Each financing subsidiary, in turn, transfers the loans to a Delaware statutory trust. For accounting purposes, the transfers of the loans to the Delaware statutory trusts are structured as on-balance sheet securitizations.
Small Business Investment Subsidiaries—We own Solutions Capital I, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary licensed by the United States Small Business Administration, or SBA, which operates as a small business investment company, or SBIC, under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, or SBIC Act. In March 2011, we formed another wholly owned subsidiary, Solutions Capital II, L. P., and in May 2011, we submitted a license to the SBA to obtain an SBIC license for Solutions Capital II, L.P. On September 30, 2011, after discussions with the SBA, we elected to withdraw our application for a second license. MCG is also the sole member of Solutions Capital G.P., LLC, which acts as the general partner of Solutions Capital I, L.P.
Taxable Subsidiaries—We currently qualify as a regulated investment company, or RIC, for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, are not required to pay corporate income taxes on any income or gains that we distribute to our stockholders. We have certain wholly owned taxable subsidiaries, or Taxable Subsidiaries, each of which holds one or more portfolio investments listed on our Consolidated Schedules of Investments. The purpose of these Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit us to hold portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs, (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of our gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries, a portion of the gross income of any LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to us, and be included in the calculation of the 90% test. To the extent that such income did not consist of investment income, it could jeopardize our ability to qualify as a RIC and, therefore, cause us to incur significant federal income taxes. The income of the LLCs (or other pass-through entities) owned by Taxable Subsidiaries is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiaries and does not flow through to us, thereby helping us preserve our RIC status and resultant tax advantages. We do not consolidate the Taxable Subsidiaries for income tax purposes and they may generate income tax expense because of the Taxable Subsidiaries’ ownership of the portfolio companies. We reflect any such income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of MCG and the following subsidiaries: Solutions Capital I, L.P.; Solutions Capital II, L.P.; Solutions Capital G.P., LLC; and MCG’s special-purpose financing subsidiaries: MCG Finance V, LLC and MCG Finance VII, LLC.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
These unaudited financial statements and the accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe we have made all necessary adjustments so that the financial statements are presented fairly and that all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. We eliminated all significant intercompany balances. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we do not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest. Further, in connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date as of June 30, 2012 through the date these financial statements were issued.

12

Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes are reasonable, actual results could differ materially.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Our debt instruments bear contractual interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 16.5%, a portion of which may be in the form of paid-in-kind interest, or PIK. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 86.9% of the fair value of our loan portfolio had variable interest rates, based on a LIBOR benchmark or the prime rate, and 13.1% of the fair value of our loan portfolio had fixed interest rates. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 77.4% of our loan portfolio, at fair value, had LIBOR floors between 1.0% and 3.0% on a LIBOR-based index and prime floors between 1.75% and 6.0%. At origination, our loans generally have four- to eight-year stated maturities. Borrowers typically pay an origination fee based on a percent of the total commitment and a fee on undrawn commitments.
When one of our loans becomes more than 90 days 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 generally will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest has been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. If the fair value of a loan is below cost, we may cease recognizing PIK interest and/or the accretion of a discount on the debt investment until such time that the fair value equals or exceeds cost.

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
We account for our investments in portfolio companies under Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs.
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820 establishes the following three-level hierarchy, based upon the transparency of inputs to the fair value measurement of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:
ASC 820
Fair Value Hierarchy
Inputs to Fair Value Methodology
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information
Level 3
Pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption is unobservable or when the estimation of fair value requires significant management judgment
We categorize a financial instrument in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. In the event that transfers between these levels were to occur in the future, we would recognize those transfers as of the ending balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period.

As of June 30, 2012, we had no investments that had quoted market prices in active markets, which we would categorize as Level 1 investments under ASC 820. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value and are Level 1 assets.
Valuation Methodologies and Procedures
As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. Control investments include both majority-owned control investments and non-majority owned control investments. A majority-owned control investment represents a security in which we own more than 50% of the voting interest of the portfolio company and generally control its board of directors. A non-majority owned control investment represents a security in which we own 25% to 50% of the portfolio company’s voting equity. Non-control investments represent both affiliate and non-affiliate securities for which we do not have a controlling interest. Affiliate investments represent securities in which we own 5% to 25% of the portfolio company’s equity. Non-affiliate investments represent securities in which we own less than 5% of the portfolio company’s equity.
•
Majority-Owned Control Investments—Majority-owned control investments comprise 10.9% of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012. Market quotations are not readily available for these investments; therefore, we use a combination of market and income approaches to determine their fair value. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited cases, book value. Generally, we apply multiples that we observe for other comparable companies to relevant financial data for the portfolio company. Also, in a limited number of cases, we use income approaches to determine the fair value of these securities, based on our projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the portfolio company will likely generate, as well as industry derived capital costs. Our valuation approaches for majority-owned investments estimate the value were we to sell or exit the investment. These valuation approaches consider the value of our ability to control the portfolio company’s capital structure and the timing of a potential exit.
•
Non-Majority-Owned Control Investments—Non-majority-owned control investments comprise 2.6% of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012. For our non-majority-owned control equity investments, we use the same market and income valuation approaches used to value our majority-owned control investments. For non-majority owned control debt investments, we estimate fair value using the market-yield approach based on the expected

future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates, based on our estimate of current market rates. We may adjust discounted cash flow calculations to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.
•
Non-Control Investments—Non-control investments comprise 86.5% of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012. Quoted prices are not available for 80.6% of our non-control investments as of June 30, 2012. For our non-control equity investments, we use the same market and income approaches used to value our control investments. For non-control debt investments for which no quoted prices are available, we estimate fair value using a market-yield approach based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates, based on our estimate of current market rates. We may adjust discounted cash flow calculations to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.
•
Thinly Traded and Over-the-Counter Securities—Generally, we value securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange at the average of the prevailing bid and ask prices on the date of the relevant period end. However, we may apply a discount to the market value of restricted or thinly traded public securities to reflect the impact that these restrictions have on the value of these securities. We review factors including the trading volume, total securities outstanding and our percentage ownership of securities to determine whether the trading levels are active (Level 1) or inactive (Level 2). As of June 30, 2012, these securities represented 16.8% of our investment portfolio. We utilize independent pricing services with certain of our fair value estimates. The majority of our level 2 investments are senior debt investments that are secured and collateralized. To corroborate “bid/ask” quotes from independent pricing services we perform a market-yield approach to validate prices obtained or obtain other evidence.
Our valuation analyses incorporate the impact that key events could have on the securities’ values, including public and private mergers and acquisitions, purchase transactions, public offerings, letters of intent and subsequent debt or equity sales. Our valuation analyses also include key external data, such as market changes and industry valuation benchmarks. We also use independent valuation firms to provide additional data points for our quarterly valuation analyses. Our general practice is to obtain an independent valuation or review of valuation at least once per year for each portfolio investment that had a fair value in excess of $5.0 million, unless the fair value has otherwise been derived through a sale of some or all of our investment in the portfolio company or is a new investment made within the last twelve months. In total, we either obtained a valuation or review from an independent firm, considered new investments made or used market quotes in the preceding twelve-month period for 99.2% of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012, calculated on a fair value basis.
The majority of the valuations performed by the independent valuation firms utilize proprietary models and inputs. We have used, and intend to continue to use, independent valuation firms to provide additional support for our internal analyses.
Our board of directors sets our valuation policies and procedures and determines the fair value of our investments. The investment and valuation committee of our board of directors meets at least quarterly with our management to review management’s recommendations of fair value of our investments. Our board of directors considers our valuations, as well as the independent valuations and reviews, in its determination of the fair value of our investments.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and such differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to differ from the valuations currently assigned.
Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
We classify securities in the Level 3 valuation hierarchy based on the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. Our fair value approach for Level 3 securities primarily uses unobservable inputs, but may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. Accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include fair value changes due, in part, to observable factors. Additionally, we transfer investments in and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 securities as of the ending balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3.

The following table provides a reconciliation of fair value changes during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 for all investments for which we determine fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors.

Significant Unobservable Inputs
Our investment portfolio is not composed of homogeneous debt and equity securities that can be valued with a small number of inputs. Instead, the majority of our investment portfolio is composed of complex debt and equity securities with distinct contract terms and conditions. As such, our valuation of each investment in our portfolio is unique and complex, often factoring in numerous different inputs, including the historical and forecasted financial and operational performance of the portfolio company, projected cash flows, market multiples, comparable market transactions, the priority of our securities compared with those of other investors, credit risk, interest rates, independent valuations and reviews and other inputs too numerous to list quantitatively herein.
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of our level 3 investments by category of investment and valuation technique as of June 30, 2012.

(a)    Borrowings under the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility are listed based on the contractual maturity date.  The reinvestment period for this facility ended on July 20, 2011 and we will use all future principal collections from collateral in the facility to repay the securitized debt.  On July 20, 2012, we used $90.7 million of securitized cash to repay in full the Class A-1, A-2 and A-3 notes and partially repay the Class B notes.
(b)    Amount outstanding excludes $5.0 million of notes that we repurchased in December 2008 for $1.6 million and $8.0 million of notes that we repurchased in April 2010 for $4.4 million. As part of the consolidation process, we eliminated the notes that MCG, the parent company, purchased.
(c)    Amount outstanding excludes $10.1 million of notes that we repurchased in December 2008 for $2.4 million and $7.5 million of notes that we repurchased in January 2009 for $2.1 million. As part of the consolidation process, we eliminated the notes that MCG, the parent company, purchased.
(d)    On May 15, 2012, this facility was repaid in full and terminated.

24

We estimate that the fair value of these borrowings as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $338.1 million, based on market data and current interest rates. This fair value is estimated from market quotes in an inactive market provided by an independent pricing service for $170.9 million of our borrowings (level 2) and a market-yield approach for $167.2 million (level 3) of our borrowings.
As a BDC, we are not permitted to incur indebtedness or issue senior securities, including preferred stock, unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings (excluding borrowings by our SBIC facility) of at least 200%. In addition, we may not be permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on our outstanding common shares, or purchase any such shares, unless, at the time of such declaration or purchase, we have an asset coverage ratio of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price. If we are unable to meet this asset coverage requirement, we may not be able to incur additional debt. As of June 30, 2012, our ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities was 305%.
We have funded our current secured borrowing debt facility through a bankruptcy remote, special-purpose, wholly owned subsidiary. Therefore, this subsidiary’s assets may not be available to our creditors. In some cases, advances under our secured debt facility are subject to certain collateral levels, collateral quality, leverage and other restrictive covenants. We continue to service those portfolio investments that we use as collateral in our secured borrowing facility.
The following table summarizes repayments of our borrowings based on the final legal maturity or the contractual principal collections of the outstanding loans that comprise the collateral, where applicable. Actual repayments could differ significantly due to future prepayments by our borrowers, modifications of our borrowers’ existing loan agreements, and monetizations.

SBIC Debentures
In December 2004, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Solutions Capital I, L.P., or Solutions Capital. Solutions Capital has a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC under the SBIC Act. The license gave Solutions Capital the ability to borrow from the SBA up to $150.0 million, which is the maximum amount of outstanding leverage available to single-license SBIC companies. The maximum amount of outstanding leverage available to SBIC companies with multiple licenses is $225.0 million on an aggregate basis.
To realize the full $150.0 million in borrowings for which we have received approval under this program, we have funded a total of $75.0 million to Solutions Capital. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Solutions Capital had borrowed $150.0 million and $128.6 million, respectively. We may use these funds to provide debt and equity capital to qualifying small businesses. However, we may not use these borrowings to originate debt to certain companies that are currently in our portfolio without SBA approval. In addition, we may not use these funds to provide working capital to MCG, Solutions Capital's parent company.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $116.1 million and $182.4 million, respectively, of investments in our SBIC and we had $124.5 million and $28.8 million, respectively, of restricted cash to be used for additional investments in our SBIC.

25

Once drawn, the SBIC debt bears an interim interest rate of LIBOR plus 30 basis points. The rate then becomes fixed at the time of SBA pooling, which occurs twice each year, and is set to the then-current 10-year treasury rate plus a spread and an annual SBA charge. As of June 30, 2012, the SBIC had borrowings outstanding as summarized in the following table:

In October 2008, we received exemptive relief from the SEC which allows us to exclude debt issued by Solutions Capital from the calculation of our consolidated BDC asset coverage ratio.
Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1
In April 2006, we completed a $500.0 million debt securitization through the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1, or 2006-1 Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary. The 2006-1 Trust issued $106.25 million of Class A-1 Notes, $50.0 million of Class A-2 Notes, $85.0 million of Class A-3 Notes, $58.75 million of Class B Notes, $45.0 million of Class C Notes and $47.5 million of Class D Notes. The respective classes of notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.33%, 0.35%, 0.33%, 0.58%, 1.05% and 2.25%.
All of the notes are secured by the assets of the 2006-1 Trust. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets securitized under this facility as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

We retain all of the equity in the securitization. The securitization included a five-year reinvestment period, which ended in July 2011.
The Class A-1, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes are term notes. The Class A-2 Notes initially provided for a five-year revolving period, which has expired. Therefore, we may not increase the principal amount of the A-2 notes beyond the outstanding balance. The Class A-3 Notes are a delayed draw class of secured notes, which were drawn in full between July 2006 and April 2007. The pool of commercial loans in the trust must meet certain requirements, such as asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements.
Commercial Loan Funding Trust
Through the MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, we had a warehouse financing facility funded through SunTrust Bank. On May 15, 2012, we repaid in full the remaining $34.5 million balance and terminated the facility and recognized

26

$0.8 million of deferred financing fees in interest expense. The SunTrust Warehouse was secured primarily by MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust’s assets, including commercial loans that we sold to the trust.
In January 2012, we entered into an amendment to the SunTrust Warehouse, which, among other things, accelerated the scheduled termination date to January 17, 2012 and set the final legal maturity of this facility to January 17, 2014. In connection with the execution of the amendment, we paid an amendment fee of $0.5 million and recognized in interest expense approximately $1.5 million of accelerated deferred financing fees.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT NOTES
In October 2007, we issued $25.0 million of Series 2007-A unsecured notes with a five-year maturity. Initially, the Series 2007-A notes bore interest at a 6.71% per annum, which rate was increased in 2009 to 8.96% per annum. In January 2012, we repaid the Series 2007-A notes in full.
NOTE 6—CAPITAL STOCK
We have one class of common stock and one class of preferred stock authorized. Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and establish the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, subject to the 1940 Act.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On January 17, 2012, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $35.0 million. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 2,687,476 shares of our common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $4.36 per share, which was a 20.0% discount from our quarterly net asset value per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 3,867,476 shares of our common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $4.34 per share, which was a 21.2% discount from our quarterly net asset value per share.

NOTE 7—SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Third Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Restricted Stock Plan
From time to time, we award shares of restricted common stock to employees under our Third Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Restricted Stock Plan, or the 2006 Plan, which our stockholders initially approved in June 2006. In

27

May 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan increasing the number of shares we may award from 3,500,000 to 6,050,000 shares. Shares of restricted common stock awarded under the 2006 Plan may be subject to the employees' meeting service or performance conditions specified at the time of award. The award date is the date on which the shares are awarded by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, while the fair value of the respective stock award is based on the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the award date. We amortize restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and report this expense as amortization of employee restricted stock awards on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we issued 1,000,000 shares and 586,500 shares, respectively, of restricted stock under the 2006 Plan with a weighted-average fair value per share of common stock at the award date of $4.43 and $6.31, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to share-based compensation awards. As of June 30, 2012, all the restricted share awards for which forfeiture provisions had not lapsed carried non-forfeitable dividend rights to the holder of the restricted shares. As of June 30, 2012, we had $5.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted common stock awarded to employees. We expect to recognize these costs over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of 3.4 years.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
On July 23, 2009, our board of directors approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the LTIP, which is effective for the three-year period ending July 22, 2012. LTIP participants, including our executive officers and key, non-executive employees, were eligible, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, to receive their respective portions of up to an aggregate of 865,000 shares of our restricted common stock to be issued under the 2006 Plan and up to $5.2 million of cash bonuses if the closing price of our common stock achieved specific price thresholds for 20 consecutive trading days.
All of the 865,000 shares of restricted stock under the LTIP were issued during 2009 through 2011, following our achievement of share price thresholds set forth in the following table and authorization of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Forfeiture provisions for two-thirds of the respective stock awards lapsed immediately, with the forfeiture provisions for the remaining one-third of the respective stock awards lapsing twelve months later. Similarly, cash awards under the LTIP were subject to the achievement of the share price thresholds set forth in the following table. Upon satisfaction of a price threshold and the authorization of the Compensation Committee, the LTIP provided for the immediate payout of two-thirds of the associated cash with the remainder to be paid twelve months later.
The following table summarizes the price thresholds, the cumulative percentage, number of shares and cash bonus associated with each stock price threshold set forth in the LTIP. In addition, the following table summarizes the market thresholds that were achieved and the associated stock and cash awards through June 30, 2012.

(a) 
As of June 30, 2012, we awarded 865,000 shares under the LTIP program, for which the forfeiture provision have lapsed on 862,917 shares and 2,083 shares were forfeited.
(b) 
As of June 30, 2012, we awarded $3,002,000 of cash awards under the plan, of which $2,001,000 was paid out upon achievement of the market threshold. Cash in the amount of $180,000 was paid to LTIP participants in 2012 after satisfaction of the participants’ service requirement.
(c) 
The market share price thresholds for LTIP cash awards were required to be maintained for twenty consecutive trading days prior to expiration of the LTIP, which occurred on July 22, 2012.  As of June 30, 2012, the market condition for the $8.00 tranche could not be achieved, resulting in the forfeiture of the $8.00 tranche.
We accounted for the LTIP restricted stock awards as equity awards. As of the July 23, 2009 approval date of the LTIP, we estimated the fair value of these awards was $1.9 million, and we continue to amortize this amount on a straight-line basis over the derived service period. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we

28

recognized less than $0.1 million of compensation expense for these equity awards.
We account for the cash awards under the LTIP as liability awards. As liability awards, we are required to account for the awards based on the fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period and to recognize the expense over the then-current estimated requisite service period. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we reversed less than $0.1 million of previously recognized compensation expense for the cash awards under the LTIP, and during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we reversed $0.2 million of previously recognized compensation expense for the cash awards under the LTIP. The market share price thresholds for LTIP cash awards were required to be maintained for twenty consecutive trading days prior to expiration of the LTIP, which occured on July 22, 2012.  As of June 30, 2012, the market condition for the $8.00 tranche could not be achieved, resulting in the forfeiture of the $8.00 tranche.
Non-Employee Director Share-Based Compensation
During June 2006, our stockholders initially approved the 2006 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated and which we refer to as the 2006 Non-Employee Plan. In May 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Non-Employee Plan that increased the number of shares we may award from 100,000 to 150,000 shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we awarded 22,500 and 15,000 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to non-employee directors. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized less than $0.1 million of compensation costs related to share-based awards to non-employee directors. We include this compensation cost in general and administrative expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2012, we had $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted common stock awarded to non-employee directors, which we expect to recognize over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of 2.3 years.

NOTE 8—CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING AND 2011 RETENTION PLAN
Corporate Restructuring
On August 1, 2011, our board of directors approved a plan to reduce our workforce by 42%, including 22 current employees and 5 resignations. Affected employees received severance pay, continuation of benefits and, for employees who had been awarded restricted stock, additional lapsing of restrictions associated with restricted stock awards. We have accounted for these costs in accordance with ASC 420-10-Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $47,000 of restructuring expenses related to severance obligations, which we reported as a separate line item on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

29

We included liabilities associated with our restructuring in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes changes in the balance of our restructuring liabilities from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012:

2011 Retention Program
On August 1, 2011, our board of directors approved the MCG Capital Corporation 2011 Retention Program, or the Retention Program, for the benefit of our employees, including one of our named executive officers, but excluding our then: i) President and Chief Executive Officer; ii) Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; iii) Executive Vice President of Business Development; and iv) Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. We designed the Retention Program to provide eligible employees with certain incentives related to their past service and continuing employment with MCG. The Retention Program consists of an aggregate of $1.3 million in cash and up to 121,250 shares of restricted common stock.
Under the Retention Program, we awarded a cash bonus to eligible employees, representing a specified percentage of each eligible employee's respective annual cash bonus target for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. We paid half of the incentive bonus to eligible employees on March 31, 2012 and will pay the remaining amount on September 30, 2012, to eligible employees, subject to continued employment with MCG. Certain employees also received shares of restricted common stock under the 2006 Plan. The forfeiture provisions with respect to 50% of the shares of restricted common stock subject to each Retention Program award lapsed on March 31, 2012 and the remaining 50% will lapse on September 30, 2012.
NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES
As a RIC, we are taxed under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, our income generally is not taxable to the extent we distribute it to stockholders and we meet certain qualification tests as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain investments owned by our wholly owned subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. On a continuing basis, we monitor distribution requirements in order to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
We use the asset and liability method to account for our Taxable Subsidiaries' income taxes. Using this method, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, we recognize deferred tax benefits associated with net operating carryforwards that we may use to offset future tax obligations. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect to recover or settle those temporary differences. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a $0.3 million income tax provision, which was primarily attributable to flow-through taxable income on certain investments held by our subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred less than a $0.1 million income tax provision.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, or the Modernization Act, was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Modernization Act, each RIC will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted

30

under previous regulation.
From December 2001 through June 30, 2012, we declared distributions per share of $13.12. Each year, we mail statements on Form 1099-DIV to our stockholders that identify whether we made distributions from ordinary income, net capital gains on the sale of securities, which are each taxable distributions, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus, which is a nontaxable distribution. A portion of our distributions may represent a return of capital to our stockholders, to the extent that the total distributions paid in a given year exceed current and accumulated taxable earnings and profits. A portion of the distributions that we paid to stockholders during fiscal years 2011, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 represented a return of capital.
We determine the tax attributes of our distributions as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the full year. Therefore, a determination of tax attributes made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. If we determined the tax attributes of our distributions as of June 30, 2012, 100% would be a return of capital. Future distributions will take into account the requirements for us to distribute the majority of our taxable income to fulfill our distribution requirements as a RIC, together with an assessment of our current and forecasted gains and losses recognized or to be recognized for tax purposes, portfolio transactional events, liquidity, cash earnings and our asset coverage ratio at the time of such decision.
Taxable income differs from net income recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, because of temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition.
Taxable income generally excludes unrealized gains and losses from appreciation or depreciation of our investments, which are included in GAAP net income. Further, amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes may differ from amounts included in taxable income due to the accrued dividends on preferred stock, which increase the book basis but not the tax basis of our investments, and non-accrual interest on loans, which increase the tax basis but not the book basis.

Holders of unvested shares of our issued and outstanding restricted common stock are eligible to receive non-forfeitable dividends. As such, these unvested shares are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share in periods with net income. Pursuant to the two-class method, we report basic and diluted loss per share both inclusive and exclusive of the impact of the participating securities.
NOTE 11—CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 on our financial condition or results of operations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
During the normal course of business, we are party to certain financial instruments, including loans, participations in loans, guarantees, letters of credit and other financial commitments. We conduct extensive due diligence and, when appropriate, obtain collateral to limit our credit risk. Generally, these commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, which may require payment of a fee by the counterparty. We expect many of these commitments

32

will not be fully used before they expire; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
We do not report the unused portions of these commitments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $10.8 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of outstanding unused loan commitments. We estimate that as of each of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of these commitments was $0.1 million based on the fees that we currently charge to enter into similar arrangements, taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had no outstanding guarantees or standby letters of credit.
LEASE OBLIGATIONS
We lease our headquarters and certain other facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating and capital leases which expire through 2013. We have sublet certain of our facilities to third parties. Certain facility leases contain provisions for rental options and rent escalations based on scheduled increases, as well as increases resulting from a rise in certain costs incurred by the lessor. As of June 30, 2012, our obligation for the remaining terms of these leases was $1.5 million, substantially all of which will be payable during the twelve months ending June 30, 2013.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MCG Capital Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MCG Capital Corporation, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of changes in net assets, cash flows and financial highlights for the six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of MCG Capital Corporation’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 (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated 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, 2011, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and financial highlights for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 1, 2012 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, 2011, including the consolidated schedules of investment, 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including 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, forecasts, projections, intentions, goals, strategies, plans, prospects and the beliefs and assumptions of our management including, without limitation: our expectations regarding our results of operations, including revenues, net operating income, net investment losses and general and administrative expenses and the factors that may affect such results; our use of independent valuation firms to provide additional support for our internal analyses; our expectations regarding the full use before expiration of certain financial instruments, including loans, participations in loans, guarantees, letters of credit and other financial commitments; projected future annual base compensation and benefits levels and annual non-compensation cost structure amounts; expected levels of transition plan costs during 2012; forecasted 2012 and 2013 per share net operating income amounts, which may not be realized; the consummation by Broadview Networks Holdings of its proposed plan of reorganization; the limitation of future investing activities principally to debt investments; our level of investments in control companies beyond those that are currently in our portfolio; our decisions to make dividend distributions after taking into account the minimum statutorily required level of distributions, gains and losses recognized for tax purposes, portfolio transactional events, our liquidity, cash earnings and our BDC asset coverage ratio; our intentions to purchase debt for cash in open market purchases and/or privately-negotiated transactions; the sufficiency of liquidity to meet 2012 operating requirements, as well as new origination opportunities and potential dividend distributions during the upcoming year; our expectations regarding a second SBIC license; general market conditions; the state of the economy and other factors. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “could increase the likelihood,” “hope,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “potential,” “predict,” “might,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is planned,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “will enable,” “would be expected,” “look forward,” “may provide,” “would” or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of those terms. 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. Important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those risk factors discussed in Item IA of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are a solutions-focused commercial finance company providing capital and advisory services to middle-market companies throughout the United States. For our core portfolio, we make debt and equity investments primarily in companies with annual revenue of $20 million to $200 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of $3 million to $25 million, which we refer to as “middle-market” companies. Generally, our portfolio companies use our capital investment to finance acquisitions, recapitalizations, buyouts, organic growth and working capital.
We are an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. As a BDC we must meet various regulatory tests, which include investing at least 70% of our total assets in private or thinly traded public U.S.-based companies and meeting a 200% asset coverage ratio of total net assets to total senior securities, excluding SBIC debt.
In addition, we have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and obtain favorable RIC tax treatment, we must meet certain requirements, including certain minimum distribution requirements. If we satisfy these requirements, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders as distributions, allowing us to substantially reduce or eliminate our corporate-level tax liability. From time to time, our wholly owned subsidiaries may execute transactions that trigger corporate-level tax liabilities. In such cases, we recognize a tax provision in the period when it becomes more likely

36

than not that the taxable event will occur.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
We continue to execute on our strategic plan to return the Company to its roots as a leading middle-market lender. We continue to simplify our capital structure, redeploy unencumbered cash into yield-oriented investments, repay debt and return equity to our stockholders. We are also re-sizing the business to operate more efficiently. The following significant developments occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012:
•
Equity Monetizations - For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012, we received $40.1 million and $64.1 million,respectively, in proceeds from the sale of equity investments, principally the sale of Orbitel Holdings, LLC, Stratford School Holdings, Inc., GSDM Holdings, LLC and Jenzabar, Inc.
•
Loan Monetizations and Fundings - For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, we received $172.6 million and $227.9 million, respectively, in loan payoffs and amortization payments. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, eight borrowers repaid $145.1 million in principal at or above par and we funded $2.5 million in loan advances and draws to existing borrowers. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012, we originated and advanced $11.5 million and $17.7 million, respectively, to portfolio companies.
•
Open-Market Purchases of Our Stock - In the second quarter of 2012, we repurchased and retired 2,687,476 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $11.7 million, or an average of $4.36 per share. We acquired these shares from sellers in open market transactions. We retire these shares upon settlement, thereby reducing the number of shares issued and outstanding.
•
Operational Realignment - Executing on our transition plan, during the second quarter of 2012 we reduced our headcount by an additional three positions. In the second quarter, we accrued $1.8 million in severance-related expenses and we anticipate accruing an additional $0.1 million in severance-related expenses over the remainder of 2012 in regard to terminated employees with remaining service periods. As of July 15, 2012, we have 24 full-time employees.
•
Liquidity and De-Leveraging Events - On May 15, 2012, we paid off our SunTrust Warehouse facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our asset coverage ratio improved from 244% at December 31, 2011 to 305% at June 30, 2012.
OUTLOOK
As previously discussed, based on the successful execution of our strategic plan, we continue to target future annual base compensation and benefits levels of approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million beginning in 2013. In addition, we are lowering our projected embedded annual non-compensation cost structure to approximately $5.0 million to $6.0 million from our previous projection of approximately $5.5 million to $6.5 million.
Consistent with our previous 2012 guidance, we expect to incur costs associated with our transition plan of approximately $0.10 per share to $0.15 per share, primarily attributable to severance costs and the related acceleration of restricted stock for terminated employees, the amendment and pay-off of our SunTrust Warehouse financing facility and employee compensation, primarily in the form of retention and inducement payments.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred costs associated with our transition plan of $3.1 million or $0.04 per share, consisting of $0.8 million in accelerated deferred financing fees and other costs associated with the payoff of our SunTrust Warehouse financing facility that we recorded as interest expense, $0.3 million in retention and inducement payments that we recorded as salaries and benefits, $0.2 million in amortization expenses associated with the elimination of positions that we recorded as amortization of employee restricted stock awards, and $1.8 million in severance related expenses that we recorded as general and administrative expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $6.8 million, or $0.09 per share, of costs associated with our transition plan.
Given the accelerated level of monetizations and payoffs experienced through the first six months of 2012, together with the slower than anticipated pace of new originations, we are presently carrying liquidity levels substantially higher than previously forecasted. We remain committed to making disciplined investments at appropriate risk-adjusted

37

yields. Absent a significant pickup in liquidity redeployment opportunities or an increase in leverage from a second SBIC license or other sources, we would anticipate 2013 NOI levels of $0.45 to $0.55 per share, a reduction from the previous forecast of $0.50 to $0.60 per share.
ACCESS TO CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
At June 30, 2012, we had $79.9 million of cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate purposes, as well as $124.5 million of cash in restricted accounts related to our SBIC that we could use to fund new investments in the SBIC and $6.5 million of restricted cash held in escrow. In addition, we had $78.0 million of cash in securitization accounts, that may only be used to make interest and principal payments on our securitized borrowings or distributions to MCG in accordance with the indenture agreement.
At June 30, 2012, cash in securitization accounts included $71.3 million in the principal collections account of our Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1. In July 2012, we used $90.7 million of securitized cash, including $19.4 million collected in July 2012, to repay borrowings of our Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1. The reinvestment period for this facility ended on July 20, 2011 and all subsequent principal collections received have been, and will be, used to repay the securitized debt.
At June 30, 2012, $150.0 million of SBA borrowings were outstanding, the maximum available under our current SBIC license.
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of our investment portfolio was $453.5 million, which represents a $287.7 million, or 38.8%, decrease from the $741.2 million fair value as of December 31, 2011. The following sections describe the composition of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012 and describe key changes in our portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our debt instruments bear contractual interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 16.5%, a portion of which may be in the form of paid-in-kind interest, or PIK. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 86.9% of the fair value of our loan portfolio had variable interest rates, based on a LIBOR benchmark or the prime rate, and 13.1% of the fair value of our loan portfolio had fixed interest rates. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 77.4% of our loan portfolio, at fair value, had LIBOR floors between 1.0% and 3.0% on a LIBOR based index and prime floors between 1.75% and 6.0%. At origination, our loans generally have four- to eight-year stated maturities. Borrowers typically pay an origination fee based on a percentage of the total commitment and a fee on undrawn commitments.

ASSET QUALITY
Asset quality is generally a function of portfolio company performance and economic conditions, as well as our underwriting and ongoing management of our investment portfolio. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, we use the following investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio:
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 expect 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

_________________________
(a) 
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Investment Rating “1” included $47.0 million and $109.1 million, respectively, of loans to companies in which we also hold equity securities.
When one of our loans becomes more than 90 days 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 generally will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. If the fair value of a loan is below cost, we may cease recognizing PIK interest and/or the accretion of a discount on the debt investment until such time that the fair value equals or exceeds cost.
The following table summarizes the cost and fair value of loans more than 90 days past due and loans on non-accrual status:

The level of interest income that we earn depends upon the level of interest-bearing investments outstanding during the period, as well as the weighted-average yield on these investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total yield on our average debt portfolio at fair value was 11.5% compared to 10.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The weighted-average yield varies each period because of changes in the composition of our portfolio of debt investments, changes in stated interest rates, fee accelerations of unearned fees on paid-off/restructured loans and the balance of loans on non-accrual status for which we are not accruing interest.
The following table shows the various components of the total yield on our average debt portfolio at fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, interest income was $13.8 million, compared to $17.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which represented a $3.3 million, or 19.4%, decrease. This decrease reflected a $4.7 million decrease resulting from a 25.5% decrease in our average loan balance and a $0.3 million decrease resulting from the net impact of loans that were on non-accrual status during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that were accruing interest during the three months ended June 30, 2011. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in interest income resulting from a 0.8% increase in our net spread to LIBOR and a $0.4 million increase in interest income related to the change in LIBOR.
PIK Income
Interest income includes certain amounts that we have not received in cash, such as PIK interest. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest that is added to the principal balance of the loan and compounded if not paid on a current basis. PIK may be prepaid by either contract or the portfolio company’s choice, but generally is paid at the end of the loan term. The following table shows the PIK-related activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, at cost:

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, we were not accruing interest on $1.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of the PIK loans, at cost, shown in the preceding table. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we received payments on PIK loans from eight investments, including $2.9 million from Jet Plastica Investors, LLC, $1.8 million from GSDM Holdings Corp. and $1.3 million from Coastal Sunbelt Holding, Inc. The payments received from PIK loans during the three months ended June 30, 2011, included $8.2 million and $2.4 million of PIK collected in conjunction with the respective sales of our investments in Restaurant Technologies, Inc. and Avenue Broadband LLC, as well as PIK

45

collected from six other portfolio investments.
DIVIDEND INCOME
We accrete dividends on equity investments with stated dividend rates as they are earned, to the extent that we believe the dividends will be paid ultimately and the associated portfolio company has sufficient value to support the accretion. We recognize dividends on our other equity investments when we receive the dividend payment. Our dividend income varies from period to period because of changes in the size and composition of our equity investments, the yield from the investments in our equity portfolio and the ability of the portfolio companies to declare and pay dividends. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized dividend income of $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we received payments on accrued dividends of $4.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER INCOME
Advisory fees and other income primarily include fees related to prepayment fees, advisory and management services, equity structuring fees, syndication fees, bank interest and other income. Generally, advisory fees and other income relate to specific transactions or services and, therefore, may vary from period to period depending on the level and types of services provided. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we earned $2.1 million of advisory fees and other income, which represented a $1.1 million, or 108.0%, increase from the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in prepayment penalties of $1.9 million related to four investment repayments in the second quarter of 2012 offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in advisory fees due to our lower investment activity in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses include interest, employee compensation and general and administrative expenses. The reasons for these variances are discussed in more detail below.
INTEREST EXPENSE
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $4.6 million of interest expense, which represented a $0.6 million, or 15.4%, increase from the same period in 2011. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased $1.4 million related to increased amortization of debt issuance costs, including $0.8 million of accelerated deferred financing fees related to the repayment in full of our SunTrust Warehouse financing facility and $0.3 million of accelerated deferred financing fees related to prepayments of collateral in our Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility. Interest expense also increased $0.3 million due to an increase in the average LIBOR rate by 0.20% during the second quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense due to a lower average borrowing balance in the first quarter of 2012.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Employee compensation expense includes base salaries and benefits, variable annual incentive compensation and amortization of employee stock awards. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our employee compensation expense was $3.5 million, which represented a $0.2 million, or 5.7%, increase from the same period in 2011. Our salaries and benefits decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.0%, due to a $1.2 million decrease in salaries and benefits primarily resulting from a 42% reduction in our workforce that occurred as part of the corporate restructuring that we implemented during 2011 offset by an increase in incentive compensation of $1.1 million primarily resulting from incentive and inducement bonuses paid in the second quarter of 2012.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized $0.7 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which represented a $0.3 million, or 75.1%, increase. The amortization of restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2012 included accelerated amortization of $0.2 million related to employees who were terminated during 2012.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expense was $4.3 million, which represented

46

a $1.6 million, or 61.5%, increase compared to the same period in 2011. General and administrative expense for second quarter of 2012 included $1.8 million in severance-related expenses.
NET INVESTMENT LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $12.3 million of net investment losses before income tax provision, compared to $21.4 million during the same period in 2011. These amounts represent the total of net realized gains and losses, net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation, and reversals of unrealized (appreciation) depreciation. We reverse unrealized (appreciation) depreciation at the time that we realize the gain or loss. The following table summarizes our realized and unrealized (loss) and gain on investments and changes in our unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the three months ended June 30, 2012:

In July 2012, Broadview agreed with certain of its noteholders and equityholders to solicit consents to file a pre-packaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The holders of approximately 70% of Broadview’s outstanding preferred stock, including MCG, and approximately 66 2/3% of Broadview's $300 million 11 3/8% senior secured notes due in September 2012 have consented to vote for the plan, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, which percentages would be sufficient to approve the plan. The plan provides that upon effectiveness of the plan, Broadview's existing noteholders will exchange their notes for new Broadview common stock representing 97.5% of the common stock of the reorganized company and $150 million in principal amount of new 10 1/2 % senior secured notes due in July 2017, and existing stockholders, including MCG, will each receive a pro rata share of the remaining 2.5% of the common stock of the reorganized company and two tranches of eight-year warrants with exercise prices set at equity values that imply full recovery for existing noteholders. As of June 30, 2012, our fair value estimate of our investment in Broadview reflects this potential restructuring if consummated on the contemplated terms.
•
In April 2012, Jet Plastica Investors, LLC liquidated substantially all of its assets.  Including the proceeds from the liquidation, we received $11.0 million in payments on our senior debt and anticipate receiving additional payments on our senior debt upon future collection of certain accounts receivable, resulting in a $90.8 million realized loss and a $91.3 million reversal of unrealized depreciation in the second quarter of 2012.
•
In the second quarter of 2012, we received $34.0 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in Stratford School Holdings, Inc., which resulted in a $16.4 million realized gain and a reversal of previously unrealized appreciation of $13.1 million.
•
We also received $35.3 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in Orbitel Holdings, LLC, which resulted in a $2.1 million realized loss and a reversal of previously unrealized depreciation of $0.8 million.
•
We received $34.7 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in GSDM

47

Holdings, LLC, which resulted in a $1.6 million realized gain and a reversal of previously unrealized appreciation of $2.0 million.
•
We also received $44,000 for our equity investment in Philadelphia Media Network, Inc. and wrote off part of our equity investment in Intran Media, LLC which resulted in realized losses and reversals of previously unrealized depreciation on those investments.
The remaining unrealized depreciation and appreciation shown in the above table resulted predominantly from a change in the performance of certain of our portfolio companies and the multiples used to value certain of our investments.

A summary of the reasons for significant changes in realized and unrealized (loss) and gain on investments and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the three months ended June 30, 2011, are summarized below:
•
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a $24.8 million decrease in the fair value of our investment in Broadview, our single largest portfolio investment at the time. On June 21, 2011, Broadview withdrew its tender offer for $300 million of its 113/8% Senior Secured Notes, due in 2012, following Broadview's review of market conditions. Due to these uncertain market conditions, we changed the methodology by which we valued Broadview to a trailing EBITDA basis as opposed to our prior methodology under which we valued our investment on a projected forward EBITDA basis and new owner cash flows.
•
We also recorded unrealized depreciation on our investments in PremierGarage Holdings, LLC and Intran Media, LLC to reflect our portion of the estimated liquidation value of these portfolio companies.
•
We also recorded unrealized depreciation on our investment in Jet Plastica Investors, LLC to reflect an incremental investment in this portfolio company during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that we subsequently wrote down to zero.
•
We received payments of $4.1 million in satisfaction of our $11.8 million debt investment in VOX Communications Group Holdings, LLC and wrote off our remaining investment in that portfolio company. As a result of that transaction, we reversed $5.6 million of previously unrealized depreciation and realized a $7.7 million loss.

48

•
We wrote off our remaining subordinated debt investment in Active Brands International, Inc. resulting in the reversal of $12.1 million of previously unrealized depreciation and the realization of a $12.1 million loss.
•
We sold our investment in Avenue Broadband LLC resulting in the reversal of $11.9 million of previously unrealized appreciation and the realization of an $11.9 million gain.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a $293,000 income tax provision compared to an $8,000 income tax provision during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The income tax provision for both periods was primarily attributable to flow-through taxable income on certain investments held by our subsidiaries.

TOTAL REVENUE
Total revenue includes interest and dividend income, loan fees, advisory fees and other income. The following sections describe the reasons for the variances in each major component of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2012 from the six months ended June 30, 2011.

49

INTEREST INCOME
The level of interest income that we earn depends upon the level of interest-bearing investments outstanding during the period, as well as the weighted-average yield on these investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total yield on our average debt portfolio at fair value was 11.2% compared to 10.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The following table shows the various components of the total yield on our average debt portfolio at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

This decrease reflected a $8.7 million decrease resulting from a 22.9% decrease in our average loan balance and a $0.5 million decrease resulting from the net impact of loans that were on non-accrual status during the six months ended June 30, 2012 that were accruing interest during the six months ended June 30, 2011. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in interest income resulting from a 0.1%  increase in our net spread to LIBOR and a $0.7 million increase in interest income related to the increase in LIBOR.

The payments received from PIK loans during the six months ended June 30, 2011, include $8.2 million of PIK collected in conjunction with the sale of our investment in Restaurant Technologies, Inc. and $4.7 million of PIK collected in conjunction with the sale of our investment in Superior Industries Investors, LLC.
DIVIDEND INCOME
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized dividend income of $2.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we received payments on accrued dividends of $7.8 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER INCOME
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we earned $2.4 million of advisory fees and other income, which represented a $0.5 million, or 26.4%, increase from the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in prepayment penalties of $1.6 million related to five investment repayments in the first half

50

of 2012 offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in advisory fees due to our lower investment activity in the first half of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses include interest, employee compensation and general and administrative expenses. The reasons for these variances are discussed in more detail below.
INTEREST EXPENSE
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $9.8 million of interest expense, which represented a $1.9 million, or 24.8%, increase from the same period in 2011. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $3.3 million related to increased amortization of debt issuance costs, including $2.3 million of accelerated deferred financing fees related to the termination of our SunTrust Warehouse financing facility and $0.3 million of accelerated deferred financing fees related to prepayments of collateral in our Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility. Interest expense also increased $0.6 million due to an increase in the average LIBOR rate by 0.21% during the second quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense due to a lower average borrowing balance in the first quarter of 2012.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Employee compensation expense includes base salaries and benefits, variable annual incentive compensation and amortization of employee stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our employee compensation expense was $7.9 million, which represented a $0.1 million, or 0.7%, decrease from the same period in 2011. Our salaries and benefits decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.2%, due to a $2.1 million decrease in salaries and benefits primarily resulting from a 42% reduction in our workforce that occurred as part of the corporate restructuring that we implemented during 2011 offset by an increase in incentive compensation of $1.9 million primarily resulting from incentive and inducement bonuses paid in the first half of 2012.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized $1.2 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which represented a $0.2 million, or 15.4%, increase. The amortization of restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012 included accelerated amortization of $0.3 million related to employees who terminated in during 2012.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expense was $8.2 million, which represented a $2.7 million, or 50.0%, increase compared to the same period in 2011. General and administrative expense for 2012 included $2.9 million in severance related expenses.

51

NET INVESTMENT LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $14.8 million of net investment losses before income tax provision, compared to $42.4 million during the same period in 2011. These amounts represent the total of net realized gains and losses, net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation, and reversals of unrealized (appreciation) depreciation. We reverse unrealized (appreciation) depreciation at the time that we realize the gain or loss. The following table summarizes our realized and unrealized (loss) and gain on investments and changes in our unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

In July 2012, Broadview agreed with certain of its noteholders and equityholders to solicit consents to file a pre-packaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The holders of approximately 70% of Broadview’s outstanding preferred stock, including MCG, and approximately 66 2/3% of Broadview's $300 million 11 3/8% senior secured notes due in September 2012 have consented to vote for the plan, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, which percentages would be sufficient to approve the plan. The plan provides that upon effectiveness of the plan, Broadview's existing noteholders will exchange their notes for new Broadview common stock representing 97.5% of the common stock of the reorganized company and $150 million in principal amount of new 10 1/2 % senior secured notes due in July 2017, and existing stockholders, including MCG, will each receive a pro rata share of the remaining 2.5% of the common stock of the reorganized company and two tranches of eight-year warrants with exercise prices set at equity values that imply full recovery for existing noteholders. As of June 30, 2012, our fair value estimate of our investment in Broadview reflects this potential restructuring if consummated on the contemplated terms.
•
In April 2012, Jet Plastica Investors, LLC liquidated substantially all of its assets.  Including the proceeds from the liquidation, we received $11.0 million in payments on our senior debt and anticipate receiving additional payments on our senior debt upon future collection of certain accounts receivable, resulting in a $90.8 million realized loss and a $91.3 million reversal of unrealized depreciation in the second quarter of 2012.
•
In the second quarter of 2012, we received $34.0 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in Stratford School Holdings, Inc., which resulted in a $16.4 million realized gain and a reversal of previously unrealized appreciation of $13.1 million.
•
We also received $35.3 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in Orbitel Holdings, LLC, which resulted in a $2.1 million realized loss and a reversal of previously unrealized depreciation of $0.8 million.
•
We received $34.7 million for the repayment of our debt and the sale of our equity investment in GSDM Holdings, LLC, which resulted in a $1.6 million realized gain and a reversal of previously unrealized appreciation of $2.0 million.

52

•
We also received $44,000 for our equity investment in Philadelphia Media Network, Inc. and wrote off part of our equity investment in Intran Media, LLC which resulted in realized losses and reversals of previously unrealized depreciation on those investments.
•
In February 2012, we accepted $23.7 million for our senior preferred stock and warrant position in Jenzabar, Inc., or Jenzabar, which resulted in a $16.4 million reversal of previously unrealized appreciation and the realization of a $16.4 million gain.
The remaining unrealized depreciation and appreciation shown in the above table resulted predominantly from a change in the performance of certain of our portfolio companies and the multiples used to value certain of our investments.
The following table summarizes our realized and unrealized (loss) and gain on investments and changes in our unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

A summary of the reasons for significant changes in realized and unrealized (loss) and gain on investments and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are summarized below.
•
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a $49.1 million decrease in the fair value of our investment in Broadview. On June 21, 2011, Broadview withdrew its tender offer for $300 million of its 113/8% Senior Secured Notes, due in 2012, following Broadview's review of market conditions. Due to these uncertain market conditions, we changed the methodology by which we valued Broadview to a trailing EBITDA basis as opposed to our prior methodology under which we valued our investment on a projected forward EBITDA basis and new owner cash flows.
•
We also recorded unrealized depreciation in our investments in PremierGarage and Intran during the six months ended June 30, 2011, to reflect our portion of the estimated liquidation value of those companies.
•
We also recorded unrealized depreciation on our investment in Jet Plastica to reflect an incremental investment that we made in this investment in this portfolio company during the six months ended June 30, 2011, that we subsequently wrote down to zero.
•
We received payments of $2.1 million on the sale of Active Brands' senior debt and wrote off our subordinated debt and equity investment in that portfolio company, which resulted in the reversal of $39.8 million of previously unrealized depreciation and the realization of a $39.7 million loss.

53

•
We received payments of $4.1 million in satisfaction of our $11.8 million debt investment in VOX and wrote off our remaining investment in that portfolio company, which resulted in the reversal of $5.6 million of previously unrealized depreciation and the realization of a $7.7 million loss.
•
We sold our investment in Avenue Broadband, which resulted in the reversal of $11.9 million of previously unrealized appreciation and the realization of a $11.9 million gain.
•
We sold our investment in Superior Industries Investors, Inc., which resulted in the reversal of $2.8 million of previously unrealized appreciation and the realization of a $1.0 million gain, including $1.8 million of transaction costs that we recorded at the time of sale.
LOSS ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
We incurred a $0.2 million premium when we repurchased the remaining $8.7 million of our private placement notes during the first half of 2012. During the first half of 2011, we incurred a $0.9 million premium when we repurchased $17.4 million of our private placement notes.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a $311,000 income tax provision compared to a $19,000 income tax provision during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The income tax provision for both periods was primarily attributable to flow-through taxable income on certain investments held by our subsidiaries.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, CASH, SECURITIZATION ACCOUNTS, AND CASH, RESTRICTED
Our Consolidated Balance Sheets and our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect three categories of cash: cash and cash equivalents; cash, securitization accounts; and cash, restricted. Each of these categories is described more fully below:
•
Cash and cash equivalents represents unrestricted cash, including checking accounts, interest bearing deposits collateralized by marketable debt securities and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $79.9 million and $58.6 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents included $27.4 million that was held in interest-bearing accounts.
•
Cash, securitization accounts include principal and interest payments received on securitized loans, which, are held in designated bank accounts until monthly or quarterly disbursements are made from the securitization trusts. We are generally 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. Cash in securitization accounts has a negative impact on our earnings since the interest we pay on borrowings typically exceeds the rate of return that we are able to earn on temporary cash investments. Our objective is to maintain sufficient cash-on-hand and availability under our debt facilities to cover current funding requirements. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $78.0 million and $40.3 million, respectively, in cash, securitization accounts.
•
Cash, restricted includes cash held for regulatory purposes and cash held in escrow. The largest component of restricted cash was represented by cash held by Solutions Capital I, L.P.,or Solutions Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary licensed as an SBIC under the SBIC Act, which generally is restricted to the origination of new loans from Solutions Capital. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $130.9 million and $35.0 million respectively, of restricted cash.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our operating activities provided $291.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, and our financing activities used $269.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.

54

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We generally expect to limit our future investing activities principally to debt investments and do not intend to make significant investments in control companies beyond those that are currently in our portfolio for the foreseeable future. To help provide sustainable stockholder value, we expect to make future distributions to stockholders based upon an assessment of the minimum statutorily required level of distributions, gains and losses recognized for tax purposes, portfolio transactional events, our liquidity, cash earnings and our BDC asset coverage ratio at the time of such decision. These distributions may be considered a return of capital.
In order to reduce future cash interest payments under our borrowings, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption under our borrowings, we may, from time to time, purchase debt for cash in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions, if attractive pricing can be identified. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.
As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources—Borrowings, the reinvestment periods for the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility has ended and all future principal collections from collateral in the facility will be used to repay the securitized debt.
Although there can be no assurance, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating requirements for the remainder of 2012, as well as liquidity for new origination opportunities and potential dividend distributions.

55

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—BORROWINGS
As of June 30, 2012, we reported $339.8 million of borrowings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost. The following table summarizes our borrowing facilities, the potential borrowing capacity of those facilities and contingent borrowing eligibility of Solutions Capital, our SBIC.

(a)    Borrowings under the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility are listed based on the contractual maturity date.  The reinvestment period for this facility ended on July 20, 2011 and we will use all future principal collections from collateral in the facility to repay the securitized debt.  On July 20, 2012, we used $90.7 million of securitized cash to repay in full the Class A-1, A-2 and A-3 notes and partially repay the Class B notes.
(b)    Amount outstanding excludes $5.0 million of notes that we repurchased in December 2008 for $1.6 million and $8.0 million of notes that we repurchased in April 2010 for $4.4 million. As part of the consolidation process, we eliminated the notes that MCG, the parent company, purchased.
(c)    Amount outstanding excludes $10.1 million of notes that we repurchased in December 2008 for $2.4 million and $7.5 million of notes that we repurchased in January 2009 for $2.1 million. As part of the consolidation process, we eliminated the notes that MCG, the parent company, purchased.
(d)    On May 15, 2012, this facility was repaid in full and terminated.
As of June 30, 2012, our asset coverage ratio was 305% excluding our SBIC debt which is exempt from the asset coverage ratio requirements under the SEC exemptive order.
Our access to current and future liquidity from our borrowing facilities depends on several factors, including, but not limited to: the credit quality of our investment portfolio, including those investments used to collateralize borrowing facilities; the magnitude of our investments in individual companies and the industries in which they operate; our compliance with specific covenants in each borrowing agreement; and the specific provisions of our borrowing facilities.
As each of our borrowing facilities matures, it is important that we have sufficient liquidity available to repay our borrowing obligations. We may obtain the liquidity for repayment of our borrowing facilities from a number of sources, including cash on-hand, the maturity or monetization of our investment portfolio, other borrowing facilities and equity issuances, and from other borrowing arrangements.
We have funded our current secured borrowing debt facility through a bankruptcy remote, special-purpose, wholly owned subsidiary. Therefore, this subsidiary’s assets may not be available to our creditors. In some cases, advances under our secured debt facility are subject to certain collateral levels, collateral quality, leverage and other restrictive covenants. We continue to service those portfolio investments that we use as collateral in our secured borrowing facility.

56

SBIC DEBENTURES
In December 2004, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Solutions Capital. Solutions Capital has a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC under the SBIC Act. The license gave Solutions Capital the ability to borrow from the SBA up to $150.0 million, which is the maximum amount of outstanding leverage available to single-license SBIC companies.
To realize the full $150.0 million borrowing for which we have received approval under this program, we have funded a total of $75.0 million to Solutions Capital. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Solutions Capital had borrowed $150.0 million and $128.6 million, respectively. We may use these funds to provide debt and equity capital to qualifying small businesses. However, we may not use these borrowings to originate debt to certain companies that are currently in our portfolio without SBA approval. In addition, we may not use these funds for MCG’s, the parent company’s, working capital.
SBICs are subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum financial ratios and other covenants. Receipt of an SBIC license does not assure that an SBIC will receive SBA-guaranteed debenture funding, which is dependent upon continued compliance with SBA regulations and policies. The SBA, as a creditor, will have superior claim to Solutions Capital’s assets over our stockholders in the event we liquidate Solutions Capital or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by Solutions Capital upon an event of default. We plan to resubmit a license application to the SBA for a second license under Solutions Capital II, L.P.. There is no assurance that the SBA will grant the additional license.
The following table sets forth the maturity of Solutions Capital debentures, as well as the maturity of the investments and the current balance of restricted cash in Solutions Capital as of June 30, 2012.

COMMERCIAL LOAN TRUST 2006-1
As of June 30, 2012, we had $189.8 million of securitized debt outstanding under the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1, which matures in April 2018. We retain all of the equity in the securitization. The pool of commercial loans in the trust must meet certain requirements, such as asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The securitization included a five-year reinvestment period, during which the trust was permitted to use principal collections received on the underlying collateral to purchase new collateral from us.

Borrowings under the Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility are listed based on the contractual maturity date.  The reinvestment period for this facility ended on July 20, 2011 and all future principal collections from collateral in the facility have been and will be used to repay the securitized debt. 
(b) 
Equity investments do not have a stated maturity date.
We were able to use the cash in the securitized account, as well as proceeds from principal collections of securitized investments, to originate new loans until July 20, 2011. The reinvestment period ended on July 20, 2011 and all subsequent principal collections or monetization proceeds that we receive from collateral used to securitize this Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 must be applied to the outstanding balance of that facility. Upon maturity of this facility, any remaining balance must be repaid, otherwise all or part of the associated collateral may be forfeited. As shown in the above table, repayments of principal of the collateral held by this facility are expected to permit the repayment of Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 prior to its April 2018 maturity.
COMMERCIAL LOAN FUNDING TRUST
Through the MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust, we had a warehouse financing facility funded through SunTrust Bank. On May 15, 2012, we repaid in full the remaining $34.5 million balance and terminated the facility and recognized $0.8 million of deferred financing fees in interest expense. The SunTrust Warehouse was secured primarily by MCG Commercial Loan Funding Trust’s assets, including commercial loans that we sold to the trust.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT NOTES
In October 2007, we issued $25.0 million of Series 2007-A unsecured notes with a five-year maturity. Initially, the Series 2007-A notes bore interest at a 6.71% per annum, which rate was increased in 2009 to 8.96% per annum. In January 2012, we repaid the Series 2007-A notes in full.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—COMMON STOCK
We are a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act prohibits us from selling shares of our common stock at a price below the current net asset value of such stock,

58

except in limited circumstances, including approval by our stockholders of such a sale and certain determinations by our board of directors.
On January 17, 2012, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $35.0 million. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 2,687,476 shares of our common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $4.36 per share, which was a 20.0% discount from our quarterly net asset value per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 3,867,476 shares of our common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $4.34 per share, which was a 21.2% discount from our quarterly net asset value per share.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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.
Commitments to extend credit include the unused portions of commitments that obligate us to extend credit in the form of loans, participations in loans, guarantees, letters of credit and other financial commitments. Commitments to extend credit would also include loan proceeds we are obligated to advance, such as loan draws, rotating or revolving credit arrangements, or similar transactions. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the counterparty. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
We do not report the unused portions of these commitments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012, we had $10.8 million of outstanding unused loan commitments, as shown in the table below. We believe that our operations, monetizations and unrestricted cash will provide sufficient liquidity to fund, as necessary, requests to draw on these unfunded commitments. We estimate that the fair value of these commitments was $0.1 million based on the fees that we currently charge to enter into similar arrangements, taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties. From time to time, we provide guarantees or standby letters of credit on behalf of our portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2012, we had no outstanding guarantees or standby letters of credit.

DISTRIBUTIONS
We currently qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, which generally allows us to avoid paying corporate income taxes on any income or gains that we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, we intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income and may distribute more than the taxable income which would be considered a return of capital. As a RIC, we are subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent that we do not distribute on an actual or deemed basis: (i) 98.0% of our current year ordinary income; and (ii) 98.2% of our current year net capital gain income.
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. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our credit facilities and SBA regulations. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of favorable RIC tax treatment. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions, or distributions at a particular level. We may make distributions to our stockholders of certain net capital gains. Since December 2001, we have declared distributions of $13.12 per share.
The following table summarizes the distributions that we declared since January 1, 2009:

If we determined the tax attributes of our 2012 distributions as of June 30, 2012, 100% would be a return of capital. A return of capital is a return of stockholder investment, rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities. While not immediately taxable to the extent of a stockholder's basis in its shares, a stockholder's basis in the investment will be reduced by the nontaxable amount, which will result in additional gain or a lower loss when the shares are sold. However, actual determinations of the tax attributes of our distributions, including determinations of return of capital, are made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income and distributions paid for the full year and will be reported to each shareholder on a Form 1099. Future distributions will take into account the requirements for us to distribute the majority of our taxable income to fulfill our distribution requirements as a RIC, together with an assessment of our current and forecasted gains and losses recognized or to be recognized for tax purposes, portfolio transactional events, liquidity, cash earnings and our asset coverage ratio at the time of such decision.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The following section describes our accounting policies associated with the valuation of our portfolio of investments. For a full discussion of our other critical accounting policies and estimates, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
We account for our investments at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs.
ASC 820 establishes the following three-level hierarchy, based upon the transparency of inputs to the fair value measurement of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:
ASC 820
Fair Value Hierarchy
Inputs to Fair Value Methodology
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information
Level 3
Pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption is unobservable or when the estimation of fair value requires significant management judgment
We categorize a financial instrument in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. In the event that transfers between these levels were to occur in the future, we would recognize those transfers as of the ending balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period.
DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE IN GOOD FAITH
As a BDC, we invest primarily in illiquid securities, including debt and equity securities of private companies. To protect our investments and maximize our returns, we negotiate the structure of each equity security and the majority of the debt securities in our investment portfolio. Our contracts with our portfolio companies generally include many

61

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 some cases, our loan agreements also allow for increases in the spread to the base index rate, if the portfolio company’s financial or operational performance deteriorates or shows negative variances from its business plan and, in some cases, allow for decreases in the spread if financial or operational performance improves or exceeds the portfolio company’s plan. Generally, our investments are subject to some restrictions on resale and have no established trading market. Because of the type of investments that we make and the nature of our business, our valuation processes require analyses of numerous market, industry and company-specific factors, including: the performance of the underlying investment; the financial condition of the portfolio company; changing market events; market prices, when available; and other factors relevant to the individual security.
There is no single approach for determining fair value in good faith. Unlike banks, we are not permitted to provide a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. As a result, for portfolio investments that do not have an active market, we must apply judgment to the specific facts and circumstances associated with each security to determine fair value.
Generally, we value securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange at the average of the prevailing bid and ask prices on the date of the relevant period end. When such market prices are not available, we use several valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of our investment portfolio, which generally results in a range of fair values from which we derive a single estimate of the portfolio company’s fair value. To determine a portfolio company’s fair value, we analyze its historical and projected financial results, as well as key market value factors. In determining a security’s fair value, we assume we would exchange it in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. We use the following methods to determine the fair value of investments in our portfolio that are not traded actively:
•
Majority-Owned Control Investments—Majority-owned control investments comprise 10.9% of our investment portfolio. Market quotations are not readily available for these investments; therefore, we use a combination of market and income approaches to determine their fair value. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited cases, book value. Generally, we apply multiples that we observe for other comparable companies to relevant financial data for the portfolio company. Also, in a limited number of cases, we use income approaches to determine the fair value of these securities, based on our projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the portfolio company will likely generate, as well as industry derived capital costs. Our valuation approaches for majority-owned investments estimate the value were we to sell or exit the investment. These valuation approaches consider the value of our ability to control the portfolio company’s capital structure and the timing of a potential exit.
•
Non-Majority-Owned Control Investments—Non-majority owned control investments comprise 2.6% of our investment portfolio. For our non-majority owned control equity investments, we use the same market and income valuation approaches used to value our majority-owned control investments. For non-majority-owned control debt investments, we estimate fair value using the market yield approach based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates, based on our estimate of current market rates. We may adjust discounted cash flow calculations to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.
•
Non-Control Investments—Non-control investments comprise 86.5% of our investment portfolio. Quoted prices are not available for 80.6% of our non-control investments. For our non-control equity investments, we use the same market and income approaches used to value our control investments. For non-control debt investments for which no quoted prices are available, we estimate fair value using a market-yield approach based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates, based on our estimate of current market rates. We may adjust discounted cash flow calculations to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.
•
Thinly Traded and Over-the-Counter Securities—Generally, we value securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange at the average of the prevailing bid and ask prices on the date of the relevant period end. However, we may apply a discount to the market value of restricted or thinly traded public securities to reflect the impact that these restrictions have on the value of these securities. We review factors including the trading volume, total securities outstanding and our percentage ownership of securities to determine whether the trading levels are active (Level 1) or inactive (Level 2). As of June 30, 2012, these securities represented 16.8% of our investment portfolio. We utilize independent pricing services with certain of our fair value estimates. The majority of our level 2 investments are senior debt investments that are secured and

62

collateralized. To corroborate “bid/ask” quotes from independent pricing services we perform a market-yield approach to validate prices obtained or obtain other evidence.
Our valuation analyses incorporate the impact that key events could have on the securities’ values, including public and private mergers and acquisitions, purchase transactions, public offerings, letters of intent and subsequent debt or equity sales. Our valuation analyses also include key external data, such as market changes and industry valuation benchmarks. We also use independent valuation firms to provide additional data points for our quarterly valuation analyses. Our general practice is to obtain an independent valuation or review of valuation at least once per year for each portfolio investment that had a fair value in excess of $5.0 million, unless the fair value has otherwise been derived through a sale of some or all of our investment in the portfolio company or is a new investment made within the last twelve months. In total, we either obtained a valuation or review from an independent firm, considered new investments made or used market quotes in the preceding twelve month period for 99.2% of the fair value of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012.
The majority of the valuations performed by the independent valuation firms utilize proprietary models and inputs. We have used, and intend to continue to use, independent valuation firms to provide additional support for our internal analyses.
Our board of directors sets our valuation policies and procedures and determines the fair value of our investments. The investment and valuation committee of our board of directors meets at least quarterly with our management to review management’s recommendations of fair value of our investments. Our board of directors considers our valuations, as well as the independent valuations and reviews, in its determination of the fair value of our investments.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such fair value estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that we ultimately realize on these investments to differ from the valuations currently assigned.
Significant Unobservable Inputs
Our investment portfolio is not composed of homogeneous debt and equity securities that can be valued with a small number of inputs. Instead, the majority of our investment portfolio is composed of complex debt and equity securities with distinct contract terms and conditions. As such, our valuation of each investment in our portfolio is unique and complex, often factoring in numerous different inputs, including the historical and forecasted financial and operational performance of the portfolio company, projected cash flows, market multiples, comparable market transactions, the priority of our securities compared with those of other investors, credit risk, interest rates, independent valuations and reviews and other inputs too numerous to list quantitatively herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were a number of indicators of modest growth in the United States' economy during the first half of 2012. However, certain leading and lagging indicators suggest continuing risk and volatility. In the event of renewed financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets, the financial position and results of operations of certain of the middle-market companies in our portfolio could be affected adversely, which ultimately could lead to difficulty in their meeting debt service requirements and an increase in defaults.
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from 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. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 86.9% of our loan portfolio, at fair value, bore interest at a spread to LIBOR or prime rate, and 13.1% at a fixed interest rate. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 77.4% of our loan portfolio, at fair value, had LIBOR floors between 1.0% and 3.0% on the LIBOR base index and prime floors between 1.75% and 6.0%. The three-month weighted-average LIBOR interest rate was 0.47% as of June 30, 2012. Thus, the LIBOR floors in these loan investments lessen the impact of such historically low LIBOR rates.
We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and we manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on this review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our interest-bearing cash, outstanding commercial loans, at cost, and our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

65

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our 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 we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, there were no new or material developments in legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Investing in our common stock may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our financial statements, the related notes, schedules and exhibits, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Other than described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which should be read together with the other risk factors and information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC.
The following disclosure replaces and supplements the risk factors titled "We have experienced a period of capital markets disruption. This disruption has contributed to a decrease in our NAV and stock price, and could have an adverse impact on our business and operations", "We have substantial indebtedness and if we do not service our debt arrangements adequately, our business could be harmed materially", "If we are not able to establish new credit facilities on favorable terms, our operations could be affected adversely", "Our financial results could be affected adversely if a significant portfolio investment fails to perform as expected or if the value of a portfolio company decreases" and "Our business depends on our key personnel" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011:
We have experienced a period of capital markets disruption. This disruption has contributed to a decrease in our NAV and stock price, and could have an adverse impact on our business and operations.
The global markets continued to be characterized by substantially increased volatility, short-selling and an overall loss of investor confidence. While certain recent economic indicators have shown modest improvements in the capital markets, these indicators could worsen. In the event of renewed financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets, additional consolidation of the financial services industry, or significant financial service institution failures, there could be a new or incremental tightening in the credit markets, low liquidity and extreme volatility in fixed-income, credit, currency and equity markets. In addition, the risk remains that there could be a number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis on our business.
We may be unable to monetize assets in a challenging market environment that may preclude buyers from making investments at the fair values established by our board of directors. We are susceptible to the risk of significant loss,

66

if we are forced to discount the value of our investments in order to monetize assets to provide liquidity to fund operations and meet our liability maturities. In addition, if the fair value of our assets declines substantially, we may fail to maintain the BDC asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act. Any such failure would affect our ability to issue senior securities, including borrowings, pay dividends and could cause us to breach certain covenants in our credit facility, which could materially impair our business operations. Further asset value degradation may result from circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as a severe decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, a protracted economic downturn or an operational problem that affects third parties or us. Ongoing disruptive conditions could cause our stock price and NAV to decline, restrict our business operations and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We have substantial indebtedness and if we do not service our debt arrangements adequately, our business could be harmed materially.
Our securitized financing facility, the MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1, has entered its amortization period and all principal payments received related to the securitized collateral will be used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under this facility. Our ability to service our debt arrangement depends largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.
Under our debt securitization through MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1, we are subject to various affirmative and negative covenants. In the event that there is a breach of one of the covenants contained in our debt facility that has not been cured within any applicable cure period the lenders thereunder would have the ability, in certain circumstances, to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness outstanding under that facility and exercise certain other remedies. In addition, our subsidiaries have sold some of our loans to the trust that serves as the vehicles for our securitization facility, and this trust, which is bankruptcy remote, holds legal title to these assets. As a result, the lenders under this facility may generally only look to the collateral in this facility to satisfy the outstanding obligations under the MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1. However, in the event of a default on these loans held by the trust, we could potentially bear losses to the extent that the fair value of our collateral exceeds our borrowings.
Our debt securitization through MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 requires us to maintain credit ratings for each loan in the collateral pool of this facility as determined by specified international independent rating agencies. We are subject to periodic review and updates of these credit estimates by these rating agencies that could cause portions of the collateral to become disqualified as eligible assets if credit estimates deteriorate. If credit estimates deteriorate significantly, an event of default could be triggered under this facility, which would entitle the trustee to exercise available remedies, including selling the collateral securing this facility and applying the proceeds to reduce outstanding borrowings under this facility.
In addition to the credit facility, Solutions Capital has issued SBA debentures that require our SBIC to generate sufficient cash flow to make required interest payments. Further, Solutions Capital I, L.P. must maintain a minimum capitalization that if impaired could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Our borrowings under our SBA debentures are collateralized by the assets of Solutions Capital.
As a BDC, we are not permitted to incur indebtedness or issue senior securities, including preferred stock, unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings (excluding borrowings by our SBIC facility) of at least 200%. In addition, we may not be permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on our outstanding common stock, or purchase any such shares, unless, at the time of such declaration or purchase, we have an asset coverage of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price. If we are unable to meet this asset coverage requirement, 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 until we are in compliance with the 200% threshold requirement.
If we are not able to establish new credit facilities on favorable terms, our operations could be affected adversely.
Our securitized financing facility, the MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1, has entered its amortization period and all principal payments received related to the securitized collateral will be used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under the facility. No funds from this facility will be available to make new investments. We cannot be certain that we will be able to establish new borrowing facilities to provide capital for normal operations, including new originations. If we are unable to establish new facilities at a reasonable size, our liquidity will be reduced significantly. Even if we are able to consummate new borrowing facilities, we may not be able to do so on favorable terms. If we are unable to repay amounts outstanding under our existing facility and it is declared in default, our operations could be affected

adversely.
Historically, we have funded senior and subordinated debt to middle-market companies and purchased rated syndicated private debt in larger companies through our on-balance sheet securitization trust-Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1. This securitized trust included a five-year reinvestment period, during which the trust was permitted to use principal collections received from repayments of the underlying collateral to purchase new collateral from us. The reinvestment period ended on July 20, 2011 and all future principal collections received will be used to repay the securitized debt.
In addition to our MCG Commercial Loan Trust 2006-1 facility, Solutions Capital has issued SBA debentures that require our SBIC to generate sufficient cash flow to make required interest payments. Further, Solutions Capital must maintain a minimum capitalization that if impaired could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Our borrowings under our SBA debentures are collateralized by the assets of Solutions Capital.
Our continued compliance with these requirements depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. Material net asset devaluation in connection with additional borrowings could result in an inability to comply with our obligation to restrict the level of indebtedness that we are able to incur in relation to the value of our assets or to maintain a minimum level of stockholders' equity.
Our financial results could be affected adversely if a significant portfolio investment fails to perform as expected or if the value of a portfolio company decreases.
Our total investment in companies may be significant, individually or in the aggregate. As a result, if a significant investment in one or more companies fails to perform as expected, our financial results could be affected adversely and the magnitude of the loss could be more significant than if we had made smaller investments in a greater number of companies.
Our business depends on our key personnel.
We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and other key management personnel. The loss of any of our executive officers or key management personnel could result in inefficiencies in our operations and lost business opportunities, which could have a negative impact on our business.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On January 17, 2012, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $35.0 million. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares in open market transactions, including through block purchases, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be extended, modified or discontinued at any time for any reason. The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases are made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. We retire immediately all such shares of common stock that we purchase in connection with the stock repurchase program.
NET ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK
For certain employees, we may be deemed to have purchased through the net issuance of shares, a portion of the shares of restricted stock previously issued under our Third Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Restricted Stock Plan, or the 2006 Plan, for which the forfeiture provisions have lapsed to satisfy the respective employee’s income tax withholding obligations. We retire immediately all such shares of common stock that we purchase in connection with such net issuance to employees.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
Amendment to 2011 Severance Pay Plan
On July 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved Amendment No. 2 (the “Severance Plan Amendment”) to the MCG Capital Corporation 2011 Severance Pay Plan (the “Severance Plan”). The Severance Plan commits the Company to provide MCG employees (who are not otherwise a party to an employment letter or agreement) with certain benefits under defined events of termination of employment. Specifically, the Severance Plan provides that, in the event of an eligible employee's termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason, the employee will be eligible for three, six or nine months of continuing separation pay, healthcare continuation benefits and lapsing of forfeiture provisions with respect to shares of restricted stock (based on years of service with MCG).
The Severance Plan also provides that in the event of an eligible employee's death, the employee's beneficiaries would be paid the total amount of the eligible employee's separation pay in a lump sum on the 60th day following the eligible employee's death. In the event of an eligible employee's voluntary resignation other than for good reason, the eligible employee would receive a payment equal to four weeks base salary if the employee provides the Company at least 30 days advance notice of his/her separation date. All payments made by the Company under the Severance Plan are subject to the eligible employee or the employee's beneficiary signing a release of claims against the Company.
The Severance Plan Amendment clarifies the employees that are eligible for participation in the Severance Plan. Specifically, the benefits of the Severance Plan are extended to employees who (i) work at least 50% time (i.e., eligible for group benefits), and (ii) either (A) were on the Company's payroll as of the effective date of the Severance Plan or (B) were hired by the Company after the effective date of the Severance Plan and employed for a continuous period of at least one year.
The foregoing description of the Severance Plan Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Severance Plan Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
