The Company reported a net operating loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter, as compared to net operating income of $2.1 million for the same quarter in 2012.

As of July 31, 2013, the Company's net assets were $392.8 million or $17.36 per share, compared with net assets of $388.6 million, or $16.56 per share, at the beginning of the quarter and $392.8 million, or $16.42 per share, at the end of the same period last year.
During the quarter, the Valuation Committee, which is comprised of three independent directors, changed the fair values of eleven portfolio companies, resulting in a net increase of $19.4 million or $0.86 per share. In arriving at these determinations and consistent with the Company's valuation procedures and ASC 820, the Valuation Committee took into account many factors, including the performance of the portfolio companies, as well as the impact of changes in market multiples within certain sectors and fluctuations in currency valuations, particularly in the Euro.
