Our portfolio exits during the quarter generated combined returns in excess of 24% and new investment activity, which has been light thus far during 2013, appears to be gaining significant momentum. As a result, we are very pleased with our operating model and the financial results we continue to generate for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2013 Results

Total investment income during the second quarter of 2013 was $27.3 million, compared to total investment income of $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 24.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in total loan interest income associated with an overall increase in the size of our investment portfolio as well as an increase in dividend and fee income relating to certain portfolio company activities.

Net investment income during the second quarter of 2013 was $16.3 million, compared to net investment income of $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 15.8%. The Company's net investment income per





share during the second quarter of 2013 was $0.59 based on a weighted average share count of 27.6 million as compared to $0.52 per share during the second quarter of 2012, based on a weighted average share count of 27.3 million.

The Company's net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $21.8 million during the second quarter of 2013, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $15.6 million during the second quarter of 2012. The Company's net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.79 per share during the second quarter of 2013 based on a weighted average share count of 27.6 million, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.57 per share during the second quarter of 2012, based on a weighted average share count of 27.3 million.

The Company's net asset value, or NAV, per share at June 30, 2013, was $15.62 as compared to $15.30 per share at December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, the Company's weighted average yield on its outstanding, currently yielding, debt investments was approximately 14.8%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Commenting on the Company's liquidity position, Steven C. Lilly, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “With over $313 million in available liquidity at quarter-end, Triangle has tremendous flexibility to evaluate near-term investment opportunities which we believe will enable us to continue to build on our long-term track record of success.”

At June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $117.1 million.

During the second quarter of 2013, Triangle amended its existing $165.0 million credit facility to extend the maturity date by one year to September 2017, to allow the Company to borrow foreign currencies (initially Canadian dollars), and reduce the interest rate on borrowings by twenty basis points to LIBOR plus 2.75%. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding non-callable, fixed-rate SBA-guaranteed debentures totaling $193.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.07%. The Company has the ability to issue $31.3 million in additional SBA-guaranteed debentures.
