COMPANY & INDUSTRY OVERVIEW


 

Pure-play, lower middle market, internally managed BDC Typical investment size = $5MM to $15MM Invest primarily in subordinated debt and equity securities 2Q 2008 annualized dividend = $1.40 per share Run Rate net investment income = $1.69 per share (1) Current assets under management ^ $220MM Company Overview Our goal is to be the premier provider of capital to lower middle market companies Anticipated NII per share based on 2008 YTD transaction closings which have been previously announced.


 

Key Investment Considerations Attractive business model Recurring revenue stream High operating leverage drives net investment income (NII) Seasoned investment team Eight transaction professionals Over 150 years of advising, investing and operating experience Attractive lower middle market focus Less transaction competition Higher transaction IRRs Weighted average portfolio debt yield is 14.0% vs. industry average of 12.0% Seasoned investment portfolio Strong capital structure Low cost, long term SBA debt (10 years) ^ 5.80% coupon Lower cost of debt reduces WACC and increases NII


 

BDC Industry Overview Business Development Companies ("BDCs") are uniquely positioned financing vehicles Created by congress to promote investments in privately held companies In 1997 there were 3 BDCs Currently there are 27 BDCs BDCs function as tax-advantaged, pass-through entities Limited corporate taxation Greater than 90% of earnings are passed to shareholders in the form of dividends BDCs are a low risk way to participate in private equity Similarities: business scope, equity upside, lean staffing models Differences: perpetual funding, recurring revenue, lower cost of capital, investor liquidity option


 

Why We Target the Lower Middle Market Over 65,000 lower middle market companies in the United States with revenues between $10MM and $100MM More than 90% are privately held Significant financing needs Highly fragmented market underserved by commercial & investment banks Offers superior risk-adjusted returns Attractive niche for a seasoned team with an operational discipline Less competitive pricing environment Relationships matter Certainty of closing is extremely important Our core investing team of 8 professionals includes two former private company presidents, one former public company CFO, two CFAs, & two CPAs


 

Investment Criteria Relevant industry experience Management teams with meaningful equity stakes Well positioned for growth opportunities Operate businesses in industries with barriers to entry Competitive advantages - protect market position and profitability $2.0MM to $10MM of LTM EBITDA Do not invest in start-up companies or companies in distressed situations Strong Competitive Position in Industry Seasoned Management Teams Established Companies with Positive Cash Flow Better positioned for economic downturns Increased ability to endure industry consolidation Can adapt to changing business conditions Diversified Customer Supplier Base Underlying enterprise value Sufficient value beyond the layer of the capital structure in which we invest to provide a reasonable assurance of recovery for our debt investments Significant Invested Capital


 

High Quality, Diversified Portfolio $165MM in commitments across 20 industries and 34 companies As of June 30, 2008, at FMV and excluding cash on hand.

Current Market Update Large transactions continue to struggle in the capital markets M&A environment continues to be challenging Banks / investment banks still reluctant to lend / invest capital Enterprise value multiples are contracting The lower middle market, however, remains active Financial sponsors continuing to pay reasonable multiples for good businesses Creates significant investing opportunities for firms like Triangle 2008 has been a productive year for capital deployments 9 transactions closed YTD; ~ $70MM of capital deployed Almost 90% of transactions closed during 2008 contain equity upside We believe 2008-2009 will be remembered as a very good period for private market investing
