Thanks Gus. We’d love to thank all of you for participating in today’s call. I will begin by providing an operational update on our existing portfolio. Next I will comment on our dividend outlook for 2009 and discuss the current investing environment we are seeing. Following my comments Todd will cover our third quarter 2008 financial results after which we will conclude with Q-and-A. Overall we were pleased with our performance during the third quarter as both our net investment income, the net realized income executed our plan. We ended the quarter with a net asset value per share of $12.49. Our core investment portfolio appreciated modestly from a valuation perspective. At the date of our portfolio, company investments appreciating by a total of $2.8 million and depreciating by a total of $2.2 million. During that quarter, we completed a $2.6 million investment in Condit Exhibits LLC as part of the management buyout. We obtained a 28% full diluted equity position in Condit, in addition to a $2.3 million first lien debt position. Condit is a Denver-based provider, Premier Tradeshow and other exhibits originally founded in 1945. Subsequent to the quarters end, we completed three additional investments totaling $7.5 million, all of which have been previously announced. Each of our first lien debt positions to Main’s Street together with equity positions that range from 12% to 29%. During that quarter, we exited our equity remaining debt position in Travis Aggregates resulting in a realized gain, including transaction fees to $6.4 million. In subsequent to the quarter, we exited our equity remaining debt position in transportation general resulting in a realized gain including transaction fees of $1.2 million. As a result of these gains, we now project 35% to 45% of our calendar 2008 dividend distributions which consists of long-term capital…

Thanks you Vince. Good morning everyone. Before I go into my prepared comments I want to note that our third quarter 10-Q will be filed later today. We will also post an updated quarterly investor presentation on our website. To expand on Vince’s comments we continue to expect slower portfolio growth in the near term due to our focus on begin selective and prudently deploy existing liquidity. In addition co-investing all new investments with Main Street Capital pursuant to the SEC exemptive relief is also impacting the net amount as of new originations. However, in my view the key takeaway from this quarter is that we have intentionally positioned the company with a strong liquidity position and low levels of leverage. Importantly all of our leverage is very stable and not subject to any near-term maturities or refinancing risk. Our conservative capital position provides significant flexibly during volatile equity and credit markets that we are seeing in 2008. We are comfortable with our 2009 dividend guidance as it reflects a reasonable measured approach to growing our dividends. Regarding dividend growth, the fourth quarter 2008 dividends per share represent a 13.6% increase from the dividends paid in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was our fist quarter as a public company. The 2009 dividend guidance represents year-over-year dividend growth in the range of 5% to 15%. Regarding our dividend coverage we have covered our first IPO dividends by approximately 139% through net realized income which includes the realized gains we have generated. This IPO, we have also covered over 83% of our dividends through a distributable NII which does not include our realized gains. Generated realized gains for the fundamental part of Main Streets investment strategy as demonstrated through our long-term track recorded, which include is generating meaningful realized gains during…

Thanks Todd. So, in summary, we are encountering a challenging investing environment, which we are approaching very selectively. We have sufficient liquidity through the end of 2009 and are potentially longer depending upon repayments and exits. Our portfolio is performing relatively well taken as a whole and we currently have a solid backlog with investment opportunities. I’d like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and I will now open the call for Q-and-A.

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets. Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets: Vince I had a question just in terms of [Magna] a big picture philosophical standpoint and that given the type of environment that we are currently in and the belief of many that things will get more challenging before they get less challenging. I’m Interested in maybe a little more color in terms of portfolio growth. You mentioned limited, I know you have capital available and you could actually vary your investment portfolio quite a bit. I’m just trying to get sense; I know at least at this point why even bother to grow the portfolio a whole lot, if at all given that we are headed into, what appears to be tougher times?

That’s a good question. We continue to look at opportunities at a pace that is as robust as I’ve ever seeing, because we have money, we don’t represent a financing continuity with respect to debt etc. and so, what we are doing is we’re trying to be opportunistic. If we can find really good companies that we can buy inexpensively, we think it’s a great time to be transacting. So, the challenge is making sure that you don’t put too much debt on these companies. Making sure that the investment is structured such as they can make it through the 2010 or 2011 or what have you, but if you think about it you’d rather be buying at the bottom of the cycle with a modest multiple of EBITDA and modest leverages as opposed to at the top and so that’s just kind of our philosophy. A lot of the companies we are seeing, we just don’t have the visibility to conclude that they can make it through the cycle. A lot of the companies we are seeing due, so we are just being enough. Again another way of saying hi is very opportunistic and we may very well though a couple of quarters without closing the deal, but the other thing too is the constituents that we have out there that are showing that deal flow. We do wanted to be respectful of them and continue to look the opportunities they bring us and give it a honest look, but they know that they nearly have to be a perfect candidate, before we’re going to want to move forward. Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets: With the cash that you have available plus availability on the line which is a little over at $76 million I think, $76 million to $77 million, is the thought now that you will have put most of that to work or maybe part of that, I’m just trying to get a sense what you fully expect at this point to put all that money to work between now and the end of 2009?

I think the cash probably gets put to work and the question would be, to what degree are you going to be in to the credit facility or not, but I think probably my best guess is the cash gets put to work.

(Operator Instructions) Your next question comes from Sean Jackson - Avondale Partners.

On the unrealized losses you said, most of that was accounting reversals, is that correct?

That’s correct.

So, other than that, the portfolio I guess was a discount that you had an unrealized gain of about $600,000?

That’s right and that’s on our investment portfolio and then with respect to our management company, we had kind of a regular couple of hundred thousand dollar decline each quarter.

And what is exactly your visibility as to getting realized gains for ’09 given that the dividend payments are somewhat depended on some gains going forward?

Right, the reason we have pretty good visibility on that is that we structure our investments with management such that the management teams plus the portfolio company is really our exit, because when you are transacting a four time EBITDA and you have two and a half, three times in debt; after three, four, five years the company’s pasture to takeout our investment, the company’s performing well with a little bit of bank debt and there’s generally room under a more traditional credit facility, not only to takeout our debt, but takeout our equity. In addition as an incentive to management you will see frequently that we allow them if they are performing well to take out our equity ahead of our debt on a negotiated basis and so that really attracts the type of management teams that we want because they want to get as much equity as soon as they can. So, we have pretty good visibility for those better performing companies. With respect to taking out our equity ahead of the debt or with the debt, particularly we have investments that we made in ‘03, ‘04 that were preliminary discussions with how that’s going to happen.

Your next question comes from Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets. Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets: Todd, I’m trying to get a sense for the cash flow, the EBITDA for your underlying portfolio companies. If you look at that on a weighted-average basis or average basis, but trying to get a sense for if that number -- cash flow at this point is actually stable, increasing, decreasing, just trying to get a sense for how your company’s doing in this type of environment?

The answer is, we do look at it. Obviously, in our portfolio we have some up, some down, but the portfolio on a whole year-over-year if you look at kind of trailing 12 months to 930, whatever latest finances we have is effectively flat to slightly up, last time we looked at it, but our concern which we mentioned in our comments is that we are concerned that what has happened in September and October maybe a little different ball game as far as going forward. So, we are very cognizant of that and remain kind of cautious in our outlook not only for new investments, but for what is going on our existing portfolio and I think we’ll just have to see how that plays out over the next year or so.

The TTM at 930 includes fourth quarter of ’07, which is not certainly relevant right now. So, we are keeping an eye on it. Vernon Plack - BB&T Capital Markets: I think you mention, you have one investment on non-accrual. What is the cost basis on that loan?

It’s around $4 million.

(Operator Instructions) Your final question comes from Sean Jackson - Avondale Partners.

Yes, very quickly; typically when you said that the management team is you’re exit typically and then investment. Now, are the management teams somewhat dependent upon on the credit markets to get the cash to tick it out or typically, how do they get the money to do that?

Generally, they will go to a local or regional bank; they are trying to get a $3 million, $4 million, and $5 million credit facility. It is generally going to be asset-based. In the lower middle market where we transact, the banks really aren’t providing credit on a multiple of EBITDA, even on a modest multiple of EBITDA. So, it’s really ABL, potentially with the personal guarantee of the managers, so that’s kind of their decision and if that doesn’t quite get it done, we will consider providing some additional financing to affect that and so that’s generally how it’s done. So you are really going from 2.5 times EBITDA to our debt and two, three, four years down the road, you get that down to maybe a half or one times EBITDA, but the bank is comfortable coming in on an ABL basis, maybe with a little stretch piece when the banker asks to complete the transaction.

(Operator Instruction) and at this time there are no additional questions. I’d like to turn it back to Mr. Foster for any closing remarks.

I don’t have any closing remarks. So we will see all of you next quarter.
