Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

         Net asset value at September 30, 1999 was  $237,554,860,  equivalent to
$62.27 per share after  deducting  an allowance of $21.73 per share for deferred
taxes on net unrealized appreciation. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
tax credits on retained long term capital gains,  this  represents a decrease of
11.4%  during the past twelve  months and a decrease of 7.0% during the past six
months.

                  Net assets per share                $62.27              $70.82

         Interest  income in the six months ended  September 30, 1999  decreased
from the  year-ago  period  primarily  because  of the  suspension  of  interest
accruals related to one of our portfolio companies.  During the six months ended
September  30, 1999 and 1998,  the  Company  recorded  dividend  income from the
following sources:

         Salaries in the six months ended  September 30, 1999 decreased from the
year-ago period primarily due to reductions in staff.  Other operating  expenses
in the six months ended  September 30, 1999 decreased  from the year-ago  period
primarily  due to the payment in the prior period of a finders fee related to an
investment.

         During the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company  reported a
realized  gain  before  income  taxes of  $9,230,513.  It should be noted that a
realized gain before income taxes occurs when an appreciated  portfolio security
is  sold  to  realize  a  gain  and  a  corresponding   decrease  in  unrealized
appreciation  occurs by  transferring  the gain  associated with the transaction
from being "unrealized" to being "realized." Conversely, when a loss is realized
on a depreciated  portfolio  security,  an increase in  unrealized  appreciation
occurs.

         During the quarter  ended  September  30,  1999,  the Company  made new
investments of $2,000,000  and additional  investments of $4,340,047 in existing
portfolio companies.

         On October  1, 1999, the Company repaid the $25,000,000 note payable to
bank from its cash and cash equivalents.

         The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions,  to invest up to
$3,800,000 in seven portfolio companies.

         Many computer  software  systems in use today cannot  properly  process
date-related  information  from and after  January  1,  2000.  Should any of the
computer systems employed by our major portfolio  companies fail to process this
type of information  properly,  it could have a negative impact on the Company's
shareholders.  The Company has reviewed its computer  system and determined that
it will be Year 2000  compliant.  In  addition,  the Company has inquired of its
major service providers as well as its major portfolio companies to determine if
they will be prepared for the Year 2000.  All have indicated they are taking the
necessary  steps to be Year 2000 compliant.  It is anticipated  that the Company
will incur no material expenses related to the Year 2000 issues.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         The Company is subject to financial market risks,  including changes in
marketable equity security prices. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments  to  mitigate  any of  these  risks.  The  return  on the  Company's
investments is not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

         The Company's investment in portfolio securities consists of fixed rate
debt securities which totalled $11,955,970 at September 30, 1999,  equivalent to
3.8%  of  the  value  of the  Company's  total  investments.  Since  these  debt
securities  usually have relatively high fixed rates of interest,  minor changes
in market yields of publicly-traded  debt securities have little or no effect on
the  values  of debt  securities  in the  Company's  portfolio  and no effect on
interest income. On the other hand,  significant changes in the market yields of
publicly-traded debt securities may have a material effect on the values of debt
securities in our portfolio.  The Company's  investments in debt  securities are
generally  held to maturity and their fair values are determined on the basis of
the terms of the debt security and the financial condition of the issuer.

         A portion of the Company's  investment  portfolio  consists of debt and
equity securities of private  companies.  The Company  anticipates  little or no
effect on the values of these  investments  from modest changes in public market
equity valuations. Should significant changes in market valuations of comparable
publicly-owned   companies  occur,  there  may  be  a  corresponding  effect  on
valuations of private companies, which would affect the value and the amount and
timing of proceeds eventually realized from these investments.  A portion of the
Company's  investment  portfolio  also consists of restricted  common stocks and
warrants to purchase common stocks of publicly-owned  companies. The fair values
of these restricted securities are influenced by the nature of applicable resale
restrictions, the underlying earnings and financial condition of the issuer, and
the market valuations of comparable  publicly-owned  companies. A portion of the
Company's investment portfolio also consists of unrestricted,  freely marketable
common stocks of publicly-owned  companies.  These freely marketable investments
are  directly  exposed to equity  price  risks,  in that a change in an issuer's
public market equity price would result in an identical change in the fair value
of the Company's investment in such security.
