Thank you, Valerie. Thank you for the nice introduction and good morning to all of you. This is David Gladstone, Chairman, and this is the quarterly conference call for shareholders and analysts of Gladstone Capital, trading symbol GLAD; and we thank you all for calling in.

As usual, we start with our President, Chip Stelljes. Chip is the Chief Investment Officer of all the Gladstone companies and he’ll cover a lot of ground here; so Chip, take us away.

Thank you, David, and good morning. We closed six new investments during the quarter totaling 35.2 million, and we invested 5.6 million in existing portfolio companies in the form of additional investments or draws on revolver facilities. During the quarter, we received repayments of approximately 22.8 million due to payoffs, normal amortization, and pay-downs of revolvers; and this included the full payoff of Pinnacle Treatment Centers of 9.4 million and Airvana Network Solutions of 7.9 million. So in total, we had a net production increase in our portfolio of about 17.8 million for the quarter, and we funded the net increase in production from operating income and draws on our credit facility. Since the end of the quarter, we funded three new investments totaling 17.3 million and half a million in investments to existing portfolio companies. Additionally, after the end of the quarter we received 1.5 million in repayments, mostly from scheduled principal amortization. At the time of this call, we owe 47.2 million on our line of credit. We continue to see new investment opportunities, and while there seems to be a good deal of capital coming into the market for the right deals, we have availability on our line and are actively making and looking to make new investments. At the end of the March quarter, the valuation of our investment portfolio was approximately 257 million versus a cost basis of 314 million, or approximately 82% of costs. At the end of the quarter, we had loans with six companies on non-accrual and a number of companies experiencing problems that may prevent them from making timely payments in the future. We’ve taken operating control of several of these companies and we’re working hard to fix the problems and improve profitability. On a dollar basis, the loans classified as…

All right, thank you, Chip. That was a good report, and now let’s turn to the financials. For that, we’ll hear from David Watson, our Chief Financial Officer. David?

Thank you, David, and good morning everyone. Before I go through the financial statements, I’d like to highlight a few key points for this quarter. First, during the quarter we made six new investments and three additional ones after quarter-end. Our goal is to continue this disciplined approach and increase our investment activity. And second, at the time of this call we had 47.2 million borrowed on our 127 million line of credit, so the availability on our line of credit gives us the ability and the flexibility to deploy more capital for the right opportunities. Now for the details, and I’ll start with the balance sheet. As of March 31, we had 273 million in total assets consisting of 257 million in investments at fair value and 15 million in cash and other assets. We borrowed approximately 33 million on our line of credit and had approximately 235 million in net assets. Therefore, we are less than 1:1 leveraged and in fact our leverage is less than 15%. So we believe this is a safe balance sheet for a finance company, which are usually levered much higher. We believe that our overall risk profile is low. Moving over to the income statement, for the March quarter net investment income was 4.4 million versus 4.5 million for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 1%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest income resulting from the reduction in the size of the Company’s investment portfolio subsequent to March 31, 2010 partially offset by reduced interest expense because of lower average borrowings outstanding. On a per share basis, net investment income for both quarters was $0.21 per share. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, net investment income was 9.1 million or $0.43 per share as…

All right. Thank you, David Watson. That was a very good presentation. We encourage all of our listeners to read our press release and study our quarterly report called the 10-Q, which is filed with the SEC. You can access that 10-Q as well as the press release on our website at www.gladstonecapital.com and also on the SEC website. I think the big news this quarter was that we continue to make progress with our portfolio companies. They’re getting stronger, and certainly as the economy progresses they’re getting better. Also this quarter, we see our backlog of opportunities to lend money to the smaller and midsized businesses increasing, and I think that’s going to continue and the wider that backlog gets, the more opportunities we have to close transactions. We also added a few new investments to our portfolio of loans, and that will help us grow our assets and make more money. Just a side note here, and I promise shareholders the last time I’m going to go through this, but most of these new loans were syndicated loans, and you’ll note that one of our syndicated loans that was made before the recession began recently paid off in full. This exit demonstrates our ability to pick good investments in that segment, and most of the deals that we had before the recession started all paid off and were in good shape. Unfortunately, we had to sell them before then. We believe that if Deutsche Bank had renewed our line of credit in 2009, we would have been paid back with interest on all of our syndicated loans, just like the one that paid off. But in order to pay off the Deutsche Bank loan, we had to sell our syndicated loans at a loss in the spring of…

We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your touchtone phone. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Our first question comes from Vernon Plack of BB&T Capital Markets. Vernon Plack – BB&T Capital Markets: Thanks very much. Chip, could you talk a little more about you mentioned how higher interest rates will at some point have an impact on the portfolio. I’m curious in terms of where most of your liable floors are.

Well, I guess there’s a difference between what we would do today, you know, where our LIBOR floors has come in to probably 150, but I would say our average LIBOR floor is at north of 2 right now. And so we would have a period where we would not participate in the upside without some hedging, but at some point if we can move off over that floor too, we would begin to participate. I would argue that almost all of our loans, of not all of them, are at their floors today. Vernon Plack – BB&T Capital Markets: Okay, all right. And the other question involves Sunshine Media. I know that that company has been written down. A few quarters ago it was at 94% of cost and 75% of cost at the December quarter, and 45% of cost today. I was hoping for some color – I’m just curious in terms of whether or not—where we are on that investment, and concerns that it may wind up on non-accrual.

Sunshine has been a troubled situation for us for a while, but we are subject to the valuation on the debt by whatever S&P tells us it should be, and they have their own black box that they use. I will tell you that we took over, as we announced last quarter. We took over from the equity sponsor who did not want to continue to support the business, and so that was a change in the way we were managing it. We’ve now sold half of our equity position to the CEO, so we’re partners with him now. And if you recall, that business is two different businesses, one of which is a custom publishing business that would provide newsletters to hospitals that they would send out as advertising. The second is a group of B2B publications that really has been the problem and has suffered through the downturn. The CEO who is running the company, we have a lot of confidence in. He ran the custom publishing business and in fact that business continues to do very well, and he has really been in charge of the turnaround of the B2B publications. But the way these things go, if things lag over time, I would argue that operationally that company is in better shape than it was at this time last quarter when we announced it. But when we went in and sat down and took over from the equity sponsor, S&P looked at it and I know that they calculated the fact that the equity sponsor did not want to support it for whatever reason, and that was negative. And then we did restructure the deal during this quarter and gave the CEO some flexibility within some of the junior debt tranches in order to continue to improve the business. We’re working hard not to have it go on non-accrual, and I don’t think it will go completely on non-accrual; but we may have some reduced income over time until we can get the B2B publishing unit back to profitability. Vernon Plack – BB&T Capital Markets: Okay, that’s helpful. Thank you very much.

Next question, please.

Our next question comes from Greg Mason of Stifel Nicolaus. Greg Mason – Stifel Nicolaus: Great, good morning, gentlemen. David, as we look through your six new investments, I think, on your Q you had four of them labeled as syndicated loans. Can you talk about why the focus on syndicated, particularly kind of what we’ve been hearing about flows into high yield and bank loan funds, that maybe that market is getting a little frothy. What are you seeing there on the syndicated side?

Yeah, the syndicated side is what I would call frothy as well. We’re doing more of the club deals. They are smaller transactions that are going through there now that didn’t go through for probably two, maybe three years now; and so these smaller club deals in which there might be four investors rather than 25 or 30 in these big transactions. You’re probably referring more to the larger transactions that go through that might raise a billion or $1.5 billion. These are the smaller deals that might raise $300 million, part of it senior and part of it second lien. We’ve been participating in the second lien transactions as we do in our regular business, and we find that a very attractive area. As I mentioned as part of my presentation, the syndicated loan area is divided into lots of parts, and sort of one of the divisions is between the smaller transactions that might come out from any number of LBO funds to the larger, huge transactions that you’ll read about in the Wall Street Journal. So we’ve pretty much stayed with the smaller syndicated transactions that have higher interest rates and better terms than I think some of the large ones do. I hope that answers the question, Greg. Greg Mason – Stifel Nicolaus: Yeah, it does, David. And Chip, you talked a little bit about—it sounded, my interpretation is the lower middle market’s kind of tougher to find deals. What would you say – it is a lack of financing, that there are just not opportunities, or you are seeing opportunities but the coupons and leverage points aren’t attractive? Which way would you characterize that?

Well, I would say the latter. We have looked at situations that other folks are doing, and have either lost out in a competition situation or decided that the risk return was not quite right. And so we’ve been sort of disappointed to date, and I think part of that there’s been a good deal of money that’s come into that marketplace, and I think secondarily there hasn’t been as much deal flow as I think a lot of people had hoped for. But clearly with the M&A trends in that sector picking up and with more financings coming, I think that imbalance may turn. But we’ve looked at some and said that’s just the right pricing for that deal and so we’ve not been as aggressive there as some other folks have been. I think we’ll find some good opportunities, but we’re going to have to just work had to find situations that aren’t completely competitive all the time. Greg Mason – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay, great. And then one last question – David, you talked about looking for long-term capital solutions. I know several of the BDCs have started to issue convertible debt. Have you looked at that market, and what do you think of that option?

We’re not very fond of convertibles, mainly because it sets the company up that if you don’t refinance it about a year before, it comes due, you end up with the shorts using the convert to pound the common stock back to the price of the convert. So we’ve always avoided convertible features. We’re looking at a number of other ways of financing the business that will be new, and I hope you’ll stay tuned and watch us try those out. Greg Mason – Stifel Nicolaus: Great, thanks guys.

Our next question comes from David West of Davenport & Company. David West – Davenport & Company: Good morning. First question may be a follow-up to the last regarding perhaps the issuance of common equity. Your stock is just around NAV. Your current leverage levels are very modest. What is the threshold of leverage on your line of credit where you feel comfortable and where you may start to feel like the need to issue some common equity?

Yeah, I’m trying to stay away from issuing common equity because I think the—well, it’s hard for me to say, but I think even though we are priced very well compared to other BDCs, I think we are still priced improperly in the marketplace. The stock price should be much higher and the yield much lower, given the strength of the business. But putting that aside, I think we’ve got plenty of room to run on the debt side. We’re talking with some insurance companies. They’re not quite there yet, but I think we’ll get them there in the next year and hopefully we can issue some pretty straightforward debt, long term debt, and leverage up a bit more. We do have room on our line of credit and we have some other banks that wanted to join the line of credit. As you know, I don’t want to get to heavy into the short term line before we do something. We’re looking at preferred stock, although it’s a little bit high today. We could probably issue preferred stock at around, I don’t know, maybe 9%. That would be a very difficult number to make work, but 9% may be better than shutting down operations. And we’ve talked to a number of different people about different ways of leveraging ourselves up, and I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag but we’re still working on those and hopefully something will come along in the near term. But I am resisting, so you should know, resisting issuing any common stock at this price. David West – Davenport & Company: Is one of the options—is DSPI facility an option for GLAD at all?

No, we’re not in accordance with our friends at the Small Business Administration, sorry to say. David West – Davenport & Company: Okay. And lastly, just go back to your comment – David, I think you indicated you kind of said you felt good about your companies—portfolio companies were getting stronger. Can you reconcile that with the fact that your risk weighting did go down a little bit versus your fiscal year-end? Was that just you think overly impacted by actions relative on Sunshine?

I think it was a lot to do with Sunshine. We changed our risk rating system from prior years, so there’s been a little bit of change. I think this quarter coming up in June, we will be on the new system for both June last year and June this year, so it should be a little bit different and you won’t see. I think our old system was a little bit more liberal than we liked. The new one is certainly more stringent than we’ve had in the past, and I feel more comfortable that it’s a realistic approach to the probability of default. David West – Davenport & Company: Okay, thanks very much.

As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star then one. At this time, I am showing no further questions This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to David Gladstone for any closing remarks.

All right. Thank you all for tuning in. We’ll look for you next quarter and hopefully have some more good news for you then. That’s the end of this conference.

The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today’s presentation. You may now disconnect and have a great day.
