TWST: You recently released your fourth-quarter results. Can you give us some highlights from the quarter?
Mr. Tucker: The results for the fourth quarter were strong. We announced $0.57 per share in net investment income, and for the full year, we announced $2.16 in net investment income. The important comparison was total investment income for the year of $90 million was up 42%, and our net investment income at approximately $58 million was up also 42%.
It was a very good year for us, a very active year. The number of transactions completed, the growth of assets and the profitability were all very strong.
TWST: Please comment on the strength of your liquidity position going into 2013 and your continued ability to invest in attractive opportunities.
Mr. Tucker: If you take the cash on our balance sheet, our $165 million senior credit facility, against which nothing is drawn at the current time, and available SBA debentures, our liquidity going into 2013 is approximately $250 million, which gives us a lot of flexibility to continue to invest as we find attractive deals.
TWST: What are your top strategic goals for 2013?
Mr. Tucker: I'd say our top strategic goal is to continue to find the best mezzanine deals in the market. That was our goal for last year, and I'd say that's our goal for this year as well.
TWST: Can you please summarize your dividend history for us? And what is the outlook for dividends over the next year?
