NOTE REGARDING CORE EARNINGS

The Company has four primary variables that impact its operating performance: (i) the current yield earned on its investments, (ii) the interest expense incurred under the debt incurred to finance its investments, (iii) operating expenses and (iv) realized and unrealized gain or losses, including any impairment and deferred tax, on its investments. “Core earnings” is a non-GAAP measure of its operating performance excluding the fourth variable above and adjusting the earnings from the consumer loan investment to a level yield basis. It is used by management to gauge current performance without taking into account: (i) realized and unrealized gains and losses, which although they represent a part of its recurring operations, are subject to significant variability and are only a potential indicator of future economic performance; (ii) incentive compensation paid to its Manager; (iii) noncapitalized transaction-related expenses; and (iv) deferred taxes, which are not representative of current operations.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “core earnings” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify the operating performance of the assets that form the core of its activity, assist in comparing the core operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business.

Management has prepared and provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, for the results described above and, as a result the Company’s final results may vary from such estimates.
