NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

GSV Capital Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “GSV Capital”) was formed in September 2010 as a Maryland corporation structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company is managed by GSV Asset Management, LLC (“GSV Asset Management”).

The Company’s date of inception is January 6, 2011, which is the date it commenced its development stage activities. The Company’s shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “GSVC”. The Company began its investment operations during the second quarter.

On April 13, 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, GSV Capital Lending, LLC (“GCL”), a Delaware limited liability company, which will originate portfolio loan investments within the state of California. An application for a California lender license was submitted by GCL to the California Department of Corporations. GCL received approval of the license from the California Department of Corporations effective August 14, 2013.

On November 28, 2012, the Company formed wholly-owned subsidiaries, GSVC AE Holdings, Inc. (“GAE”), GSVC AV Holdings, Inc. (“GAV”), GSVC NG Holdings, Inc. (“GNG”), GSVC SW Holdings, Inc. (“GSW”) and GSVC WS Holdings, Inc. (“GWS”). On July 12, 2013, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, SPNPM Holdings LLC (“SPNPM”). On August 13, 2013, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, GSVC SVDS Holdings, Inc. (“SVDS”). Collectively, these entities are known as the “GSVC Holdings”, all Delaware corporations, formed to hold portfolio investments.

The Company’s investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity investments. The Company invests principally in the equity securities of venture capital-backed and rapidly growing emerging companies. The Company may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly-traded equity securities of rapidly growing companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Basis of Consolidation

Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, a controlled operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us and certain entities established for tax purposes where we hold a 100% interest (“the GSVC Holdings Entities”). Accordingly, our financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of the GSVC

Holdings Entities and GCL, our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We began consolidating the GSVC Holdings Entities during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported period. It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.

Investments

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Company generally values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the closing price of such security on the valuation date; however, if they remain subject to lock-up restrictions they are discounted accordingly. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of GSV Asset Management, the Board or the Valuation Committee of the Board (the “Valuation Committee”), does not represent fair value, shall each be valued as follows:

The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment;

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with GSV Asset Management senior management;

An independent third-party valuation firm is engaged by, or on behalf of, the Valuation Committee to conduct independent appraisals and review management’s preliminary valuations and make their own independent assessment, for all material investments;

The Valuation Committee discusses valuations and recommends the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of GSV Asset Management and the independent third-party valuation firm; and,

The Board then discusses the valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio based upon input of GSV Asset Management, estimates from the independent valuation firm and the recommendations of the Valuation Committee.

In making our good faith determination of the fair value of investments, we consider valuation methodologies consistent with industry practice. Valuation methods, among other measures and as applicable, may include comparisons to prices from secondary market transactions and recent venture capital financings, analysis of financial ratios and valuation metrics of the portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public, analysis of the portfolio companies’ most recent financial

statements and forecasts, and the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. The Company assigns a weighting based upon the relevance of each factor to determine the fair value of each investment.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, exchange-traded derivatives, and most U.S. Government and agency securities).

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

c) Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and,

d) Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability (examples include certain of our private equity investments).

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore gains and losses for such assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table set forth in Note 3 may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The embedded derivative liability is carried at fair value.

Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the transaction for the purchase or sale of the securities is entered into by the Company (i.e., trade date). Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale, and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively.

Portfolio Company Investment Classification

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual directly or indirectly owns beneficially more than 25% of the voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist when a company or individual directly or indirectly owns, controls or holds the power to vote 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. Refer to the Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for details regarding the nature and composition of the Company’s portfolio.

Cash

The Company places its cash with U.S. Bank, N.A. and First Republic Bank, N.A., and at times, cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company may invest a portion of its cash in money market funds, within limitations of the 1940 Act.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash consists of excess funds remaining in escrow from the purchase of the government securities that will be used to make the scheduled interest payments on the Convertible Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had Restricted Cash of $22,139 and $22,264 which is included on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Sales: Gains or losses on the sale of investments are determined using the specific identification method.

Interest: Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis.

Dividends: Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

Investment Transaction Costs and Escrow Deposits

Commissions and other costs associated with an investment transaction, including legal expenses not reimbursed by the issuer, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales. The Company makes certain acquisitions on the secondary markets which may involve making deposits to escrow accounts until certain conditions are met including the underlying private company’s right of first refusal. If the underlying private company does not exercise or assign its right of first refusal and all other conditions are met, then the funds in the escrow account are delivered to the seller and the account is closed. These transactions are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Escrow deposits. At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had $0 in Escrow deposits.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments

Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment.

U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes

The Company was taxed as a regular corporation (a “C corporation”) under subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for its 2012 taxable year. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Certain tax attributes may be subject to limitations on timing and usage. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Beginning with its 2013 taxable year, the Company may elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if the Company is able to satisfy the requirements under subchapter M of the Code. If we are not certified by the SEC as “principally engaged in the furnishing of capital to other corporations which are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, new processes, or products not previously generally available” for our 2013 taxable year, we will not be eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC for our 2013 taxable year. On December 4, 2013 we filed an application with the SEC for this certification, but no assurance can be given that we will receive it, or that we will otherwise qualify as a RIC for our 2013 taxable year. If we are unable to qualify as a RIC, we will continue to be taxed as a C corporation under the Code for our 2013 taxable year. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders on a timely basis at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year, and meet certain asset diversification requirements on a quarterly basis. So long as the Company qualifies and maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the RIC will represent obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the GSVC Holdings are taxable subsidiaries of the RIC. These taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expenses as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. Such income tax expenses and deferred taxes, if any, will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Although it is currently its intention to do so, at the present time, the Company cannot assure you whether it will elect to be treated as a RIC for its 2013 taxable year. If it opts not to do so, the Company will continue to be taxed as a C corporation under the Code for its 2013 taxable year. Until such time as it is able to be

taxed as a RIC, GSV will provide for income taxes, if any, as a C Corp. The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a RIC for its 2014 taxable year, if management determines that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so.

Deferred Credit Facility Fees

On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank, pursuant to which Silicon Valley Bank would provide the Company with a new $18 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Company incurred $288,249 of legal costs and other fees in connection with opening the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, of the total costs of $288,249 incurred, $244,306 remains to be amortized and is included within deferred credit facility fees on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Offering Costs

Offering costs include legal fees and other costs pertaining to public offerings. In accordance with ASC 340-10, the Company deferred offering costs of $228,285 associated with the registration statement filed on September 23, 2013 on form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities, and warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and the Company’s securities are offered pursuant to the registration statement, the Company will reclassify the deferred offering costs into additional paid-in capital for equity offerings and will amortize the offering costs related to any debt securities issued.

Per Share Information

Basic earnings (loss) per common share, is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The Company used the if-converted method to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Refer to footnote 5 for further detail.

Certain capital accounts including undistributed net investment income or loss, accumulated net realized gain or loss, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and paid-in capital in excess of par, are adjusted, at least annually, for permanent differences between book and tax. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences are to be reclassified between financial statement reporting and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share and are intended to enable the Company’s stockholders to determine the amount of accumulated and undistributed earnings they potentially could receive in the future and on which they could be taxed.

NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY ARRANGEMENTS

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with GSV Asset Management (the “Advisory Agreement”) in connection with its initial public offering. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, GSV Asset Management will be paid a base annual fee of 2% of gross assets, and an annual incentive fee equal to the lesser of (i) 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains during each calendar year, if any, calculated on an investment-by-investment basis, subject to a non-compounded preferred return, or “hurdle,” and a “catch-up” feature, and (ii) 20% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees. For the period from the close of the initial public offering through and including December 31, 2011, the base management fee was payable monthly in arrears, and was calculated based on the initial value of the Company’s assets upon the closing of the public offering. GSV Asset Management earned $1,756,196 and $1,283,599 in base management fees and $0 in incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, we accrued incentive fees of $969,652, and $0, in accordance with the AICPA’s TPA (TIS 6910.2) which considers the hypothetical liquidation value of our investment portfolio as of the measurement date.

As of March 31, 2014, we were owed $0 from GSV Asset Management. In addition as of March 31, 2014, we owed GSV Asset Management $603,199, which relates to the reimbursement of expenses paid for by GSV Asset Management that were the responsibility of the Company.

As of December 31, 2013, we were owed $3,039 from GSV Asset Management for reimbursement of expenses paid for by us that were the responsibility of GSV Asset Management. In addition as of December 31, 2013, we owed GSV Asset Management $563,978, which relates to the reimbursement of expenses paid for by GSV Asset Management that were the responsibility of the Company.

Administration Agreement

The Company entered into an administration agreement with GSV Capital Service Company (the “Administration Agreement”) to provide administrative services, including furnishing the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, record keeping services and other administrative services, in connection with its initial public offering and ongoing operations. The Company reimburses GSV Capital Service Company an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. There were $908,532 and $887,984 in such costs incurred under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

License Agreement

The Company entered into a license agreement with GSV Asset Management pursuant to which GSV Asset Management has agreed to grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “GSV.” Under this agreement, the Company has the right to use the GSV name for so long as the Advisory Agreement with GSV Asset Management is in effect.

NOTE 3 — PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE – (continued)

The significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities are shown above. Increases (decreases) in revenue multiples, EBIT multiples, time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values all else equal. Decreases (increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates, would result in higher fair values all else equal.

The Company applied the binomial lattice model to value the embedded derivative using a “with-and-without method,” where the value of the convertible senior notes including the embedded derivative, is defined as the “with”, and the value of the convertible senior notes excluding the embedded derivative, is defined as the “without”. This method estimates the value of the embedded derivative by looking at the difference in the values between the convertible senior notes with the embedded derivative and the value of the convertible senior notes without the embedded derivative. The lattice model requires the following inputs: (i) strike price; (ii) estimated stock volatility; and (iii) annual risk rate.

The aggregate values of Level 3 portfolio investments and embedded derivative changed during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 as follows:

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company converted its preferred shares to common shares in CUX Inc., Chegg, Inc., Twitter, Inc., and Violin Memory, Inc. The Company also converted its common shares to preferred shares in Totus Solutions Inc.

ASC 820 defines level 1 assets and liabilities as financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 assets and liabilities are those assets or liabilities whose fair values are based upon quoted prices in markets that are not active. The portfolio companies in which the Company invests periodically offer their shares in initial public offerings, (“IPO’s”). The Company’s shares in the portfolio companies are initially subject to lock-up agreements for 180 days following the IPO. Upon the IPO date, the Company transfers its investment to level 2 due to the lock-up agreement and prices the investment at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date subject to a discount for a lack of marketability, (“DLOM”). The Company determines the DLOM for each portfolio company investment based upon the market value of publicly traded put options with similar terms as the lock-up. Once the lock-up expires, the Company transfers its investment to 1 level and prices the investment based on the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date.

NOTE 5 — NET INCREASE (DECREASE) IN NET ASSETS PER COMMON SHARE — BASIC AND DILUTED

The Company considered the potential dilutive effects of the convertible senior notes on earnings per share in accordance with the requirement of ASC 260-10, using the if-converted method. The effect of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes would have been to increase earnings per share. As such, the Company has excluded the effects of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes from the diluted EPS calculation. The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.

NOTE 6 — LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

The Company is currently not subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies.

based upon the change in net asset value per share between the opening and ending net asset values per share and the issuance of common shares in the period. The total returns are not annualized.

(8)

Financial Highlights for periods of less than one year are annualized and the ratios of operating expenses to average net assets and net investment loss to average net assets are adjusted accordingly. Non-recurring expenses were not annualized. For the year-end December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and for the period from January 6, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $0, and $198,831 of organizational expenses, respectively, which were deemed to be non-recurring. For the period from January 6, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011, average net assets were calculated starting from the issuance of 100 shares on February 28, 2011. Because the ratios are calculated for the Company’s common stock taken as a whole, an individual investor’s ratios may vary from these ratios.

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAX

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are currently taxable as C Corporations and subject to federal and state corporate income taxes. These subsidiaries hold certain pass-through companies in connection with the Company’s proposed qualification as a RIC beginning with its 2013 taxable year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries recorded a current income tax expense or benefit since they had net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards from prior years and a net operating loss for the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not recognize a current income tax expense or benefit for the same reasons.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries recorded deferred income tax benefits and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of temporary differences related to certain expenses, net operating losses, capital losses and temporary differences arising from differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis in underlying investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a net deferred income tax provision of $29,366, which is shown as a benefit for taxes on net investment loss of $2,012,914, a provision for taxes on net realized gains of (3,238,531) and a benefit for taxes on unrealized depreciation of $1,254,983 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded no deferred income tax expense or benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 since it provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, which consisted primarily of net operating losses and temporary differences based on realized losses and unrealized depreciation of investments for financial statement purposes.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its estimated annual effective tax rate for net investment loss to reflect a change in valuation allowance from 40.83% to 41.86%, effective January 1, 2014. The change is due to a true-up adjustment in its effective tax rate.

For federal and state purposes, a portion of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and basis differences may be subject to limitations on annual utilization in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state law. The amount of such limitations, if any, has not been determined. Accordingly, the amount of such tax attributes available to offset future profits may be significantly less than the actual amounts of the tax attributes.

The Company may elect to file an election to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC effective for the 2013 tax year. The Company will not be eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC for the 2013 taxable year unless it is certified by the SEC as “principally engaged in the furnishing of capital to other corporations which are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, new processes, or products not previously generally available” (an “SEC Certification”) for the 2013 taxable year. On December 4, 2013, the Company filed an application with the SEC for an SEC

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAX – (continued)

Certification for the 2013 taxable year, but no assurance can be given that it will receive an SEC Certification. In the event that it does not receive such SEC Certification, the Company will be taxed as a C Corporation.

As a RIC, the Company generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders as dividends and claims dividends paid deductions to compute taxable income. A RIC will not be eligible to utilize net operating losses. However, the net operating losses may become available should the Company disqualify as a RIC and become a C corporation in the future. In the event that the Company qualifies as a RIC, the Company itself will no longer be required to recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities.

In addition to meeting other requirements, the Company must generally distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income to qualify for the special treatment accorded to a RIC and maintain its RIC status. As part of maintaining RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% excise tax) pertaining to a given fiscal year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that fiscal year, provided such dividends are declared prior to the later of (1) the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of that fiscal year or (2) the extended due date for filing the federal income tax return for that fiscal year.

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the period presented herein. The Company identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and California. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, no income tax expenses or related liabilities for uncertain tax positions were recognized for the Company’s open tax years from inception through 2014. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

NOTE 9 — LONG TERM LIABILITIES

Convertible senior notes payable

On September 17, 2013, the Company issued $69,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) (including $9,000,000 aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes). The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2014. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 61.5091 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.26 per share of common stock. The Convertible Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2018, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity.

The terms of the offering require the Company to place a portion of the proceeds of the offering in an escrow account (the “Interest Escrow”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) under the indenture pursuant to which the notes are issued. Funds in the escrow account will be invested in government securities and will be used to make the first six scheduled interest payments on the notes, unless the Company elects to make the interest payments from the Company’s available funds. The interest payments on the Convertible Senior Notes will be secured by a pledge of the company’s interest in the escrow account. In accordance with the Interest Escrow, the Company deposited $10,867,500 in an escrow account with the Trustee. These funds were used to purchase $10,845,236 of government securities. As of March 31, 2014, 1 US Treasury Strip with a cost of $1,790,785 matured and the proceeds were used by the trustee in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. These government securities are shown on the consolidated schedule of investments. The excess funds of $22,139 remaining from the purchase of

NOTE 9 — LONG TERM LIABILITIES – (continued)

government securities held in escrow will be used to secure the payment of the notes and is included on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes were offset by offering costs of approximately $3,585,929 that are being amortized over the term of the notes in accordance with ASC 470 Debt. As of March 31, 2014, of the total offering costs of $3,585,929 incurred, $3,201,159 remains to be amortized and is included within deferred debt issuance costs on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock.

The Convertible Senior Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Senior Notes, equal in right of payment to any future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated to the Convertible Senior Notes, junior (other than to the extent of the interest escrow) to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries.

Embedded Derivative

The Convertible Senior Notes contain an interest make-whole payment provision pursuant to which holders who convert their notes prior to September 15, 2016 will receive, in addition to a number of shares of our common stock calculated at the applicable conversion rate for principal amount of notes being converted, the cash proceeds from sale by the escrow agent of the portion of the government securities in the escrow account that are remaining with respect to any of the first six interest payments that have not been made on the notes being converted. Under ASC 815-10-15-74(a), the interest make-whole payment is considered an embedded derivative and is separated from the host contract, the Convertible Senior Notes, and carried at fair value.

The Company used a binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the Convertible Senior Notes. A binomial lattice model generates potential outcomes at various points in time, starting from the date of valuation until the expiration date of the embedded derivative. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative as of March 31, 2014 is $179,000 as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The $620,000 decrease in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative between December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 represents a gain from change in the fair value of embedded derivative as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Credit Facility

The Company entered into the Loan Agreement, effective December 31, 2013, with Silicon Valley Bank to provide the Company with the new $18 million Credit Facility. Under the Credit Facility, the Company is permitted to borrow an amount equal to the lesser of $18 million or 20% of the Company’s then-current net asset value.

The Credit Facility, among other things, matures on December 31, 2016, and bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4.75% and (ii) 8.0%. In addition, a fee of $180,000 per annum (1.0% of the $18 million revolving line of credit) is charged under the Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company has made certain customary representations and warranties and the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The Loan Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect.

NOTE 9 — LONG TERM LIABILITIES – (continued)

The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company’s property and assets, except for its assets pledged to secure certain obligations in connection with the issuance, in September 2013, of the Convertible Senior Notes and, as provided for in the Loan Agreement, as may be pledged in connection with any future issuance by the Company of convertible senior notes on substantially similar terms.

Borrowing under the Credit Facility is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, under the Loan Agreement, and as provided for therein, the Company has agreed not to incur certain additional permitted indebtedness in an aggregate amount exceeding 50% of the Company’s then-applicable net asset value.

Share Repurchase Program

GSV Capital’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of GSVC stock of up to $10 million over the next 12 months. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market provided that the Company complies with the prohibitions under its Insider Trading policies and procedures and the guidelines specified in Rule 10-B-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company is presently in the final stages of negotiations with respect to a handful of private company investments that it anticipates entering into within the next 30 to 60 days, subject to satisfaction of applicable closing conditions. In the case of secondary market transactions, such closing conditions may include approval of the issuer, waiver or failure to exercise rights of first refusal by the issuer and/or its stockholders and termination rights by the seller or the Company. Equity investments made through the secondary market may involve making deposits in escrow accounts until the applicable closing conditions are satisfied, at which time the escrow accounts will close and such equity investments will be effectuated. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company has not made any such escrow deposits.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about GSV Capital, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

•

our future operating results;

•

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

•

the impact of investments that we expect to make;

•

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•

the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

•

the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

•

our expected financings and investments;

•

the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and

•

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

•

an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our equity investments in such portfolio companies,

•

an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the market sectors in which a significant portion of our portfolio is concentrated, causing us to suffer losses in our portfolio,

•

an inability to access the equity markets could impair our investment activities,

•

interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we opt to use leverage as part of our investment strategy, and

•

the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contain elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related investments. We invest principally in the equity securities of what we believe to be rapidly growing venture capital-backed emerging companies. We acquire our investments through direct investments with prospective portfolio companies, secondary marketplaces for private companies and negotiations with selling stockholders. We may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly-traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet our investment criteria. Our investment activities are managed by GSV Asset Management, and GSV Capital Service Company provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

Our investment philosophy is premised on a disciplined approach of identifying high-growth emerging companies across several key industry themes which may include, among others, social mobile, cloud computing and big data, internet commerce, sustainability and education technology. Our investment adviser’s investment decisions are based on a disciplined analysis of available information regarding each potential portfolio company’s business operations, focusing on the company’s growth potential, the quality of recurring revenues and cash flow and cost structures, as well as an understanding of key market fundamentals. Many of the companies that our investment adviser evaluates have financial backing from top tier venture capital funds or other financial or strategic sponsors.

We seek to deploy capital primarily in the form of non-controlling equity and equity-related investments, including common stock, warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity, and convertible debt securities with a significant equity component.

Investments

The fair value of our investments can be expected to fluctuate in future periods due to changes in our investments and changes in the fair value of the investments. The following table summarizes the investments we made during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The basic per share figures noted above are based on a weighted-average of 19,320,100 and 19,320,100 shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Investment Income

Investment income increased from $4,535 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $40,815, for the three months ended March 31, 214. The increase in investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to the addition of three new term loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased from $2,572,260 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $4,848,543, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to the increased interest expense and incentive fees. Interest expense resulted from the Convertible Senior Notes and the Credit Facility. These borrowings have enabled us to increase our portfolio significantly and continue to invest in emerging companies with high-growth potential. Refer to “Overview” for a further discussion of our investment philosophy. The incentive fees result from the significant appreciation in our portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net Realized Gains and (Losses) on Investments

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had $7,931,745 of realized capital gains, which represents a significant increase from the three months ended March 31, 2013, during which we incurred $3,346,892 of realized capital losses. The increase in our net realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to the sales of our shares of Facebook, Inc. and Control4 Corporation. The increased realized gains during the quarter highlight the success we have had in achieving our investment philosophy of investing in emerging companies with high-growth potential. Refer to “Overview” for a further discussion of our investment philosophy.

Net Change in Unrealized Depreciation of Investments

Net change in unrealized depreciation of investments increased from $1,576,638 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $3,073,679, for the three months ended March 31, 2104. The increase in our net change in unrealized depreciation of investments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of Twitter, Inc. and Facebook, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $79,704, which represents a significant increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, during which we incurred a $7,491,255 net decrease in net assets resulting from operations. The increase in our net assets resulting from operations was the result of increased realized gains during the three months ended March 31, 2014 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2013 offset by an increase in our net change in unrealized depreciation of investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2014, we had investments in 52 portfolio companies with costs totaling $295,437,666; U.S. Treasury Strips of $9,054,451, unrestricted cash of $4,063,165, and restricted cash of $22,139. The Company’s portfolio investments are pledged first to secure the payment of both principal and interest on the 2013 Convertible Senior Notes, thereafter the portfolio investments are pledged as collateral to secure any borrowings under the Credit Facility.

On September 17, 2013, we issued $69,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) (including $9,000,000 aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2014. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 61.5091 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.26 per share of common stock. The Convertible Notes mature on September 15, 2018, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms. We do not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity.

We entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), effective December 31, 2013, with Silicon Valley Bank to provide us with a new $18 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, we are permitted to borrow an amount equal to the lesser of $18 million or 20% of our then-current net asset value.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $18,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Our primary use of cash is to make investments and to pay our operating expenses. We used substantially all of the proceeds of the offerings to invest in portfolio companies as of March 31, 2014, except for amounts retained for purposes of funding our ongoing expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of investment activity, was approximately $21.1 million.

Our current policy is to maintain cash reserves and liquid securities in an amount sufficient to pay our operating expenses, including investment management fees and costs incurred under the administration agreement, for approximately two years. For a description of the investment advisory and administration services we receive, see “Related Party Transactions and Certain Relationships”. We incurred $11,493,204 in accrued incentive fees, $1,756,196 in investment management fees and $908,532 in costs incurred under the administration agreement for three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of our level 1 portfolio investments, which are not subject to lock-up, was $20,551,717.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of our portfolio investments was $368.0 million. Fair value adjustments may include subsequent financing rounds, discounts due to lack of marketability, senior management changes or any other developments that factor into our valuations. The fair value of our investments can be expected to fluctuate in future periods due to changes in our investments and changes in the fair value of the investments. The Company’s portfolio investments are pledged first to secure the payment of both principal and interest on the 2013 Convertible Senior Notes, thereafter the portfolio investments are pledged as collateral to secure any borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Total unused amount of the credit facility for three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.

(3)

The weighted average interest rate incurred under the credit facility was 8.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices. However, we may employ hedging and other risk management techniques in the future.

Distribution Policy

The timing and amount of our dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We intend to focus on making capital gains-based investments from which we will derive primarily capital gains. As a consequence, we do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on a quarterly basis or become a predictable distributor of dividends, and we expect that our dividends, if any, will be much less consistent than the dividends of other business development companies that primarily make debt investments. However, if there are earnings or realized capital gains to be distributed, we intend to declare and pay a dividend at least annually.

We are currently taxable as a C corporation and subject to federal and state corporation income taxes. We may elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, beginning with our 2013 taxable year if the Company is able to satisfy the requirements to be treated as a RIC. However, if we are not certified by the SEC as “principally engaged in the furnishing of capital to other corporations which are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, new processes, or products not previously generally available” for our 2013 taxable year, we will not be eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC for our 2013 taxable year. On December 4, 2013, we filed an application with the SEC for this certification, but no assurance can be given that we will receive it. If we are unable to qualify as a RIC, we will continue to be taxed as a C corporation under the Code for our 2013 taxable year. We intend to elect to be treated as a RIC for our 2014 taxable year, if management determines that it is in our best interests to do so. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for each taxable year. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” There is no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, to the extent that we issue

TABLE OF CONTENTS

senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Our current intention is to make any distributions out of assets legally available therefrom in additional shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, unless you elect to receive your dividends and/or long-term capital gains distributions in cash. Under the dividend reinvestment plan, if a stockholder owns shares of common stock registered in its own name, the stockholder will have all cash distributions (net of any withholding) automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock unless the stockholder opts out of our dividend reinvestment plan by delivering a written notice to our dividend paying agent prior to the record date of the next dividend or distribution. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan.” Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to the U.S. stockholder, although no cash distribution has been made. As a result, if you do not elect to opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan, you will be required to pay applicable federal, state and local taxes on any reinvested dividends even though you will not receive a corresponding cash distribution. In addition, reinvested dividends have the effect of increasing our gross assets, which may correspondingly increase the management fee payable to our investment adviser. If you hold shares in the name of a broker or financial intermediary, you should contact the broker or financial intermediary regarding your election to receive distributions in cash.

Borrowings

Convertible senior notes payable

On September 17, 2013, the Company issued $69,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (including $9,000,000 aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes). The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2014. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 61.5091 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.26 per share of common stock. The Convertible Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2018, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity.

The terms of the offering require the Company to place a portion of the proceeds of the offering in an escrow account (the “Interest Escrow”) with U.S. Bank National Association, (the “trustee”) under the indenture pursuant to which the notes are issued. Funds in the escrow account will be invested in government securities and will be used to make the first six scheduled interest payments on the notes, unless the Company elects to make the interest payments from the Company’s available funds. The interest payments on the Convertible Senior Notes will be secured by a pledge of the Company’s interest in the escrow account. In accordance with the Interest Escrow, the Company placed $10,845,236 of government securities in an escrow account with the Trustee. As of March 31, 2014, 1 US Treasury Strip with a cost of $1,790,785 matured and the proceeds were used by the trustee in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. These government securities are shown on the consolidated schedule of investments.

As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Credit Facility

We entered into the Loan Agreement, effective December 31, 2013, with Silicon Valley Bank to provide us with the new $18 million Credit Facility. Under the Credit Facility, we are permitted to borrow an amount equal to the lesser of $18 million or 20% of our then-current net asset value.

The Credit Facility, among other things, matures on December 31, 2016, and bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4.75% and (ii) 8.0%. In addition, a fee of $180,000 per annum (1.0% of the $18 million revolving line of credit) is charged under the Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, we have made certain customary representations and warranties and we are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The Loan Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect.

The Credit Facility is secured by all of our property and assets, except for our assets pledged to secure certain obligations in connection with our issuance, in September 2013, of the Convertible Senior Notes and, as provided for in the Loan Agreement, as may be pledged in connection with any future issuance by us of convertible senior notes on substantially similar terms.

Borrowing under the Credit Facility is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, under the Loan Agreement, and as provided for therein, we have agreed not to incur certain additional permitted indebtedness in an aggregate amount exceeding 50% of our then-applicable net asset value.

Related Party Transactions

We entered into an investment advisory agreement with GSV Asset Management (the “Advisory Agreement”) in connection with our initial public offering. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, GSV Asset Management will be paid a base annual fee of 2.00% of gross assets, and an annual incentive fee equal to the lesser of (i) 20% of GSV Capital’s realized capital gains during each calendar year, if any, calculated on an investment-by-investment basis, subject to a non-compounded preferred return, or “hurdle,” and a “catch-up” feature, and (ii) 20% of GSV Capital’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees. GSV Asset Management earned $1,756,196 and $1,283,599 in base management fees and $0 in incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, we accrued incentive fees of $969,652, and $0, in accordance with the AICPA’s TPA (TIS 6910.2) which considers the hypothetical liquidation value of our investment portfolio as of the measurement date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We entered into an Administration Agreement with GSV Capital Service Company (the “Administration Agreement”) to provide administrative services, including furnishing us with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping services and other administrative services, in connection with our initial public offering. We reimburse GSV Capital Service Company an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. There were $908,532 and $887,984 in such costs incurred under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2013 respectively.

We also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our board of directors is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics. As required by the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our board of directors is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments.

Valuation of Investments at Fair Value

We carry our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by our board of directors, in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the price that one would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP emphasizes that valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the entity and should not be limited to information that is only available to the entity making the fair value determination, or to a small group of users. Observable market inputs should be readily available to participants in that market. In addition, observable market inputs should include a level of transparency that is reliable and verifiable.

GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An asset’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Securities that are publicly traded are generally valued at the close price on the valuation date; however, if they remain subject to lock-up restrictions they are discounted accordingly. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which there are no readily available market quotations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors.

In connection with that determination, portfolio company valuations are prepared using the most currently available data. As appropriate, we obtain updates on each portfolio company’s financial performance, including information such as economic and industry trends, new product development, and other operational issues.

In making our good faith determination of the fair value of investments, we consider valuation methodologies consistent with industry practice, including but not limited to (i) publicly available information regarding the valuation of the securities based on recent sales in comparable transactions of private companies, (ii) when management believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, a review of these publicly traded companies and applicable market multiples of their equity securities and, (iii) an income approach that estimates value based on the expectation of future cash flows that an asset or business will generate.

We engage independent valuation firms to perform valuations of our investments that are not publicly traded or for which there are no readily available market quotations. We also engage independent valuation firms to perform valuations of any securities that trade on private secondary markets, but are not otherwise publicly traded, where there is a lack of appreciable trading or a wide disparity in recently reported trades. We consider the independent valuations provided by the valuation firms, among other factors, in making our fair value determinations.

U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes

The Company was taxed as a regular corporation (a “C corporation”) under subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for its 2012 taxable year. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Certain tax attributes may be subject to limitations on timing and usage. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company will represent obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company cannot assure you whether it will qualify to be treated as a RIC for its 2013 taxable year. If it is not, the Company will continue to be taxed as a C corporation under the Code for its 2013 taxable year.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position has met the “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company classifies penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, as income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the period presented herein. The Company has identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and California, and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 amends the criteria that define an investment company, clarifies the measurement guidance and requires certain additional disclosures. Public companies are required to apply ASU 2013-08 prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on its current financial position and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, which could include; to the extent we utilize leverage, changes in interest rates. As we invest primarily in equity rather than debt instruments, we would not expect fluctuations in interest rates to directly impact our return on our portfolio investments, although any significant change in market interest rates could potentially have an indirect effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the portfolio companies in which we invest.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None of us, our investment adviser or administrator, is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us, or against our investment adviser or administrator. From time to time, we, our investment adviser or administrator, may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies.
