Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 decreased from the year-ago period primarily because of the repayment of debentures by portfolio companies offset somewhat by an increase in invested idle funds. During the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company recorded dividend income from the following sources: Nine Months Ended December 31 ----------------- 1996 1995 ---- ---- Alamo Group Inc. $ 798,000 $ 798,000 The RectorSeal Corporation 640,895 1,229,019 Skylawn Corporation 300,000 150,000 Cherokee Communications, Inc. 108,000 108,000 Westmarc Communications, Inc. 60,953 60,953 Humac Company - 208,200 Texas Shredder, Inc. 28,125 168,750 Other 62,371 71,599 --------- --------- $1,998,344 $2,794,521 ========= ========= Interest expense in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 decreased from the year-ago period due to the repayment of bank debt and a subordinated debenture and due to the accrual of interest in the prior year on the deferred tax related to the installment sale of MESC Holdings, Inc. During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the Company reported a realized gain before income taxes of $1,460,005. It should be noted that a realized gain before income taxes and a decrease in unrealized appreciation before income taxes are directly related in that when an appreciated portfolio security is sold to realize a gain, 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. Set forth in the following table are the significant increases and decreases in unrealized appreciation (before the related change in deferred taxes and excluding the effect of gains or losses realized during the periods) by portfolio company:
