Second Quarter 2010 Operating Results
Total investment income increased 143% to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $3.6 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This comparable period increase was principally attributable to (i) $2.5 million of total investment income from investments acquired on January 7, 2010, in connection with the transactions in which Main Street acquired approximately 88% of the limited partner interests (the "Exchange Offer") in Main Street Capital II, LP ("MSC II"), (ii) a $1.8 million increase in interest income from higher average levels of both portfolio debt investments and interest-bearing marketable securities or idle funds investments, (iii) a $0.6 million increase in non-recurring fee income due to higher levels of transaction activity, and (iv) a $0.3 million increase in dividend income from portfolio equity investments.
The $0.3 million of share-based compensation expense recognized during the second quarter of 2010 related to non-cash amortization expense for restricted share grants. Operating expenses (total expenses excluding share-based compensation expense) increased to $3.7 million from $1.4 million in the corresponding period of 2009. This comparable period increase in operating expenses was principally attributable to (i) $1.9 million in interest expense and other operating expenses related to MSC II subsequent to the Exchange Offer and (ii) higher personnel costs and other operating expenses compared with the second quarter of 2009.
Distributable net investment income, which is net investment income before non-cash, share-based compensation expense, increased 131% to $5.0 million, or $0.33 per share, compared with $2.2 million, or $0.23 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.(1) The increase in distributable net investment income was primarily due to higher levels of total investment income, partially offset by higher interest and other operating expenses, due to the changes discussed above. Distributable net investment income on a per share basis for the second quarter of 2010 reflects a greater number of average shares outstanding compared to the corresponding period in 2009 due to the June 2009 and January 2010 follow-on stock offerings, as well as the shares issued to consummate the Exchange Offer.
Distributable net realized income increased $5.1 million, or 195%, to $7.7 million, or $0.51 per share, in the second quarter of 2010 compared with distributable net realized income of $2.6 million, or $0.27 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009.(1) The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the higher levels of distributable net investment income discussed above, (ii) $2.3 million of total realized gains on the partial exits of equity investments in Laurus Healthcare, LP and Gulf Manufacturing, LLC and on the full exit of an equity investment in Pulse Systems, LLC and (iii) $0.4 million of net realized gain related to marketable securities and idle funds investments. The $0.4 million net realized gain from investments during the second quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to marketable securities and idle funds investments.
The net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock during the second quarter of 2010 was $8.9 million, or $0.59 per share, compared with a net increase in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock of $3.7 million, or $0.39 per share, in the corresponding period of 2009. The $1.8 million net change in unrealized appreciation from investments during the second quarter of 2010 was principally attributable to (i) $3.0 million in accounting reversals of net unrealized appreciation attributable to the net realized gain recognized in the second quarter of 2010 as discussed above, (ii) unrealized appreciation on eleven portfolio investments totaling $6.1 million, offset by unrealized depreciation on nine portfolio investments totaling $2.5 million, and (iii) $1.5 million in unrealized appreciation attributable to our Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") debentures. The noncontrolling interest of $0.3 million recognized in the second quarter of 2010 reflects the pro rata portion of MSC II net earnings attributable to the limited partnership interests in MSC II not owned by Main Street.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had approximately $19.6 million in total cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and idle funds investments. Main Street also has access to its multi-year, $30 million investment credit facility (the "Investment Facility") that is used to provide additional liquidity in support of future investment and operational activities. As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had net borrowings of $12.5 million under the Investment Facility. Based upon the current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and idle funds investments as well as the additional borrowing capacity through both the SBIC program and the Investment Facility, Main Street projects that it will have sufficient liquidity to fund its investment and operational activities through the remainder of calendar year 2010. This projection will be impacted by, among other things, the pace of new and follow-on investments, debt repayments and investment redemptions, the level of cash flow from operations and cash flow from realized gains, proceeds from any future equity offerings, and the level of dividends paid in cash.
As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had $145 million of SBIC debenture leverage outstanding including $80 million at MSC II and $65 million at Main Street Mezzanine Fund, LP ("MSMF"), the wholly owned SBIC subsidiary. The existing SBIC debenture leverage bears a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.5%, paid semi-annually, and matures ten years from original issuance. The first maturity of the existing SBIC debenture leverage does not occur until 2013, and the weighted average duration for such SBIC leverage is approximately 6.9 years as of June 30, 2010.
MSC II Exchange Offer / SBIC Leverage Capacity
On January 7, 2010, Main Street consummated the Exchange Offer in which it exchanged 1,239,695 shares of its common stock for approximately 88% of the total dollar value of the limited partner interests in MSC II (and together with MSMF, being referred to as the "Funds"). Therefore, Main Street's 2010 consolidated financial results include the results attributable to MSC II subsequent to the Exchange Offer and all related transactions. MSC II commenced operations in January 2006, is an investment fund that operates as an SBIC, and is managed by Main Street's wholly owned investment management subsidiary (Main Street Capital Partners, LLC, or the "Investment Manager"). Main Street continues to project that the Exchange Offer will be accretive to its calendar year 2010 distributable net investment income per share.
Consummation of the Exchange Offer provides Main Street with access to additional long-term, low-cost leverage capacity through the SBIC program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Stimulus Bill") increased the maximum amount of combined SBIC leverage (or SBIC leverage cap) to $225 million for affiliated SBIC funds from the previous SBIC leverage cap of approximately $137 million. Since the increase of the SBIC leverage cap to $225 million applies to affiliated SBIC funds, Main Street is required to allocate such increased borrowing capacity between MSMF and MSC II. Main Street currently has access to an incremental $80 million in SBIC leverage capacity, subject to the required capitalization of the Funds, in addition to the existing $145 million of total SBIC leverage at the Funds.
Core Portfolio Statistics (all as of June 30, 2010) (2)
Within its core portfolio, Main Street had debt and equity investments in 41 lower middle market portfolio companies. Approximately 78% of Main Street's core portfolio investments at cost were in the form of secured debt investments, and 86% of these debt investments were secured by first priority liens on the assets of portfolio companies. The annual weighted average effective yield on Main Street's core portfolio debt investments held at June 30, 2010 was 14.7%, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding any debt investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 94% of Main Street's core portfolio debt investments at cost were structured at fixed interest rates with cash interest payments generally due monthly.
Based on information provided by our core portfolio companies, which Main Street has not independently verified, the portfolio companies had a weighted average net senior debt (senior interest-bearing debt through Main Street's debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio of approximately 2.8 to 1.0 and a total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of approximately 3.0 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to Main Street's debt position, these ratios were approximately 3.6 to 1.0 and 2.5 to 1.0, respectively.
Main Street had equity ownership in 90% of its core portfolio companies and the average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was approximately 35%.
Included at the end of this press release is a summary table which presents a sequential quarterly comparison of Main Street's core portfolio statistics as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.
Privately Placed Portfolio Investments (3)
At June 30, 2010, Main Street had privately placed portfolio investments in 10 companies collectively totaling approximately $52.8 million in fair value with a total cost basis of approximately $52.4 million. The median revenues for the 10 privately placed portfolio company investments was approximately $239 million. All of Main Street's total privately placed portfolio investments at cost were in the form of secured debt investments and 83% of such debt investments at cost were secured by first priority liens on portfolio company assets. The weighted average effective yield on Main Street's privately placed portfolio debt investments was approximately 13.5% as of June 30, 2010. (3)
Portfolio Quality
Based upon Main Street's internal investment rating system, with a rating of "1" being the highest and a rating of "5" being the lowest, the weighted average investment rating for Main Street's total portfolio was 2.4, which was unchanged compared to the weighted average investment rating at March 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, Main Street had three investments on non-accrual status that represented 3.7% of the total portfolio at fair value, or approximately 5.3% of the total portfolio at cost. Main Street's total portfolio fair value was approximately 107% of the related cost basis as of June 30, 2010.
In July 2010, Main Street exited its debt and equity investment in Advantage Millwork Company, Inc., a portfolio company on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2010, at a price equal to the fair value of such investment at June 30, 2010. In the third quarter of 2010, Main Street will recognize a realized loss of approximately $1.9 million on the exit of this investment.
Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results Conference Call / Webcast

For a more detailed discussion of the financial and other information included in this press release, please refer to the Main Street Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) and Main Street's Second Quarter 2010 Investor Presentation to be posted on the investor relations section of the Main Street web site at http://www.mainstcapital.com.
(1) Distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income are net investment income and net realized income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income, distributable net realized income, and related per share measures are useful and appropriate supplemental disclosures for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered as a replacement to net investment income, net realized income, and other earnings measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income should be reviewed only in connection with such GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income and net realized income in accordance with GAAP to distributable net investment income and distributable net realized income is detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.
(2) All core portfolio statistics are calculated exclusive of Main Street's privately placed portfolio investments as well as Main Street's investment in Main Street Capital Partners, LLC, the wholly owned Investment Manager.
(3) Privately placed portfolio debt investments include investments made through direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the lower middle market companies included in Main Street's core portfolio. Weighted average effective yield on privately placed portfolio investments includes amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount, but excludes any liquidation fees payable upon repayment.
