Notes to the Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2011 and for the period from May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2011
(unaudited)
1.Formation and Business Purpose
New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (“AIV Holdings”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on March 11, 2011. New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. (“Guardian AIV”), a Delaware limited partnership, is our sole stockholder. AIV Holdings is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As such, the Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings intends to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2011.
New Mountain Finance Corporation (“New Mountain Finance”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. New Mountain Finance is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. New Mountain Finance intends to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2011. On May 19, 2011, New Mountain Finance priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, New Mountain Finance sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates) in a separate private placement. New Mountain Finance entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. (the “Operating Company”), pursuant to which New Mountain Finance was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and acquired from the Operating Company, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement, common membership units (“units”) of the Operating Company (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock sold in the IPO and the concurrent private placement).
AIV Holdings and New Mountain Finance are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their only business and sole asset is their ownership of units of the Operating Company. The Operating Company is externally managed and has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. As such, the Operating Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. The Operating Company intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes for so long as it has at least two members. The Operating Company, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of Guardian AIV by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the “Predecessor Entities”. In connection with New Mountain Finance’s IPO and through a series of transactions, the Operating Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.
Guardian AIV was the parent of the Operating Company prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in the Operating Company. Guardian AIV contributed its units in the Operating Company to its newly formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in the Operating Company for shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. At September 30, 2011, New Mountain Finance and AIV Holdings owned approximately 34.6% and 65.4%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.
The diagram below depicts our current organizational structure.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the Operating Company by the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, the Operating Company’s investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) opportunities for niche market dominance.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company does not consolidate the Operating Company. AIV Holdings applies investment company master-feeder financial statement preparation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to its interest in the Operating Company (or the “Master Fund”). AIV Holdings observes that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a Master Fund-Feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a Master Fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of its investment in the Master Fund. The Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing and should be read in conjunction with that of AIV Holdings.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the period ending December 31, 2011.
Investments — AIV Holdings is a holding company with no direct operations of its own, and its sole asset is its ownership in the Operating Company. AIV Holdings’ investment in the Operating Company is carried at fair value and represents the pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. AIV Holdings values its ownership interest on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
Cash and cash equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue, Expenses, and Capital Gains (Losses) — At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to AIV Holdings based on its pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on AIV Holdings’ Statement of Operations. New Mountain Finance used the proceeds from its IPO and concurrent private placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between New Mountain Finance’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit. Concurrently, New Mountain Finance experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. This unrealized depreciation is shown separately on the Statement of Operations of AIV Holdings. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock issued in exchange for units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses. No shares have been exchanged since formation.
Income taxes — AIV Holdings intends to elect to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code commencing with its taxable year ending on December 31, 2011. As a RIC, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely distributed to stockholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.
To qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing at least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income and net capital gains, as defined by the Code. Since federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes.
The Company will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.
The Company has adopted the Income Taxes topic of the Codification (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, and disclosed in the financial statements. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 740 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
Dividends — Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date as set by the Company’s board of directors. Quarterly dividend payments are determined by the board of directors. AIV Holdings and the Operating Company are required to take certain actions in order to maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the number of units held by AIV Holdings and the number of shares of AIV Holdings’ common stock outstanding. In addition, in order for AIV Holdings to pay a dividend or other distribution to holders of its common stock, it must be accompanied by a prior distribution by the Operating Company to all of its unit holders. The Operating Company intends to make distributions to its members that will be sufficient to enable AIV Holdings and New Mountain Finance to pay quarterly distributions to their stockholders and to enable New Mountain Finance to obtain and maintain its status as a RIC. Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary
for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV, its sole stockholder, out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from the Operating Company in additional units of the Operating Company.
Use of estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.
3.Agreements
On May 19, 2011, in connection with the contribution by Guardian AIV of its units to AIV Holdings, AIV Holdings entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which AIV Holdings was admitted as a member of the Operating Company. In addition, New Mountain Finance entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which New Mountain Finance was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and agreed to acquire from the Operating Company a number of units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding of New Mountain Finance.
The Operating Company entered into an Investment Management Agreement with New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”). Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Operating Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Operating Company, consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
AIV Holdings entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with New Mountain Finance, Steven B. Klinsky (the Chairman of our board of directors), an entity related to Steven B. Klinsky and the Investment Adviser. Subject to several exceptions, AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser have the right to require New Mountain Finance to register for public resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act of 1933”), all registerable securities that are held by any of them and that they request to be registered. Registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights Agreement are shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock issued or issuable in exchange for units and any other shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock held by AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and any of their transferees. The rights under the Registration Rights Agreement can be conditionally exercised by AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser, meaning that prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement related to the shares, AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser can withdraw their request to have the shares registered. AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may each assign their rights to any person that acquires registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights Agreement and who agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Steven B. Klinsky and a related entity will have the right to “piggyback”, or include their own registrable securities in such a registration.
AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may require New Mountain Finance to use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act of 1933 all or any portion of these registerable securities upon a “demand request”. The demand registration rights are subject to certain limitations.
The Registration Rights Agreement includes limited blackout and suspension periods. In addition, AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may also require New Mountain Finance to file a shelf registration statement on Form N-2 for the resale of their registerable securities if New Mountain Finance is eligible to use Form N-2 at that time.
Holders of registerable securities have “piggyback” registration rights, including AIV Holdings, which means that these holders may include their respective shares in any future registrations of New Mountain Finance’s equity securities, whether or not that registration relates to a primary offering by New Mountain Finance or a secondary offering by or on behalf of any of New Mountain Finance’s stockholders. AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) have priority over New Mountain Finance in any registration that is an underwritten offering.
AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) will be responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration. New Mountain Finance has agreed to indemnify AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) with respect to liabilities resulting from untrue statements or omissions in any registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, other than untrue statements or omissions resulting from information furnished to New Mountain Finance by such parties. AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) have also agreed to indemnify New Mountain Finance with respect to liabilities resulting from untrue statements or omissions furnished by them to New Mountain Finance relating to them in any registration statement.
AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Operating Company have entered into an Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, with New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) under which the Administrator provides administrative services to AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Operating Company. The Administrator oversees AIV Holdings’, New Mountain Finance’s and the Operating Company’s financial records, prepares reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, generally monitors the payment of AIV Holdings’, New Mountain Finance’s and the Operating Company’s expenses, and watches the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Operating Company will reimburse the Administrator for AIV Holdings’, New Mountain Finance’s and the Operating Company’s allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Operating Company under the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated. During the first year of operations, the Operating Company has capped its direct and indirect expenses under the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, at $3.0 million.
AIV Holdings, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have also entered into a Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., pursuant to which New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. has agreed to grant AIV Holdings, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the New Mountain and the New Mountain Finance names. Under the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions, AIV Holdings, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have a right to use the New Mountain and New Mountain Finance names, for so long as the Investment Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the investment adviser of the Operating Company. Other than with respect to this limited license, AIV Holdings, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have no legal right to the New Mountain or the New Mountain Finance names.
4.Regulation
AIV Holdings intends to elect to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90.0% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, intends to make and continue to make the requisite distributions to Guardian AIV, its sole stockholder, which will generally relieve the Company from United States (“U.S.”) federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code). However, under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV.
Additionally, as a business development company, both AIV Holdings and the Operating Company must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).
5.Related Parties
AIV Holdings has entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
·Together, New Mountain Finance and AIV Holdings own all the outstanding units of the Operating Company. As of September 30, 2011, New Mountain Finance and AIV Holdings owned approximately 34.6% and 65.4%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.
·The Operating Company has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
·AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Operating Company have entered into an Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital.

During the first year of operations, the Operating Company has capped its direct and indirect expenses under the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, at $3.0 million. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
·AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Operating Company have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of their respective officers and directors.

9.Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which provides clarification about how to measure fair value and improves comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments included in ASU 2011-04 clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements outlined in ASC 820, as well as includes some instances of changes to particular principles or requirements. ASU 2011-04 clarifies that (i) the concept of the highest and best use valuation premise applies only to nonfinancial assets, (ii) instruments classified in shareholders’ equity should be valued from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset, (iii) quantitative information should be disclosed about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 changes the guidance in (i) permitting an exception to ASC 820 by allowing an entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to market and credit risks to be consistent with the entity’s net risk exposures, instead of gross risk, (ii) applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement lacking a Level I inputs to be consistent with the ASC 820 requirements of fair value measurement but that applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement related to size as a characteristic of the holding rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability is not permitted, and (iii) requiring additional disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy, including the valuation processes used and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have on the financial statements.
10. Subsequent Events
On November 8, 2011, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, by and among the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, AIV Holdings and the Administrator, which added AIV Holdings as a party to, and clarified certain cost and expense allocation provisions in, the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, as discussed in Note 3, Agreements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 and for the period from May 19, 2011(commencement of operations) to September 30, 2011 and the statements of changes in net assets and cash flows from May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview
AIV Holdings is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on March 11, 2011. New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. (“Guardian AIV”), a Delaware limited partnership, is our sole stockholder. AIV Holdings is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As such, we are obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We intend to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2011.
The following structure is expected to generally result in AIV Holdings being allocated taxable income in respect of unrecognized gains in the Predecessor Entities’ (defined below) assets, with the result that any distributions made to AIV Holdings’ sole stockholder, Guardian AIV, that are attributable to such gains generally will be treated as taxable dividends.
New Mountain Finance Corporation (“New Mountain Finance”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. New Mountain Finance is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. New Mountain Finance intends to be treated, and intends to comply with the
requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2011. On May 19, 2011, New Mountain Finance priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, New Mountain Finance sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates) in a separate private placement. New Mountain Finance entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company, pursuant to which New Mountain Finance was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and acquired from the Operating Company, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement, common membership units (“units”) of the Operating Company (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock sold in the IPO and the concurrent private placement).
AIV Holdings and New Mountain Finance are holding companies with no direct operations of our own, and our only business and sole asset is our ownership of units of the Operating Company. The Operating Company is externally managed and has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. As such, the Operating Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. The Operating Company intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes for so long as it has at least two members. The Operating Company, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of Guardian AIV by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the “Predecessor Entities”. In connection with New Mountain Finance’s IPO and through a series of transactions, the Operating Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.
Guardian AIV was the parent of the Operating Company prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in the Operating Company. Guardian AIV contributed its units in the Operating Company to its newly formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of our units in the Operating Company for shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. At September 30, 2011, New Mountain Finance and AIV Holdings owned approximately 34.6% and 65.4%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.
The diagram below depicts our current organizational structure.
AIV Holdings’ investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the Operating Company by the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, the Operating Company’s investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) opportunities for niche market dominance.
As of September 30, 2011, the Operating Company’s net asset value was $411.9 million and its portfolio had a fair value of approximately $604.3 million in 50 portfolio companies, with a weighted average Unadjusted and Adjusted Yield to Maturity of approximately 10.9% and 14.0%, respectively. “Adjusted Yield to Maturity” assumes that the investments in the Operating Company’s portfolio are purchased at fair value on September 30, 2011 and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage, except for the non-recourse debt of New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. (“NMF SLF”). NMF SLF is treated as a fully levered asset of the Operating Company, with NMF SLF’s net asset value being included for yield calculation purposes. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of LIBOR contracts by the individual companies in the portfolio or other factors. References to “Unadjusted Yield to Maturity” have the same assumptions as Adjusted Yield to Maturity except that NMF SLF is not treated as a fully levered asset of the Operating Company, but rather the assets themselves are consolidated into the Operating Company.
Recent Developments
On November 8, 2011, AIV Holdings entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, by and among New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., AIV Holdings, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, which amended the preamble, added “New Mountain Finance” to the definition of “Licensed Mark” and Canada and the European Union to the definition of “Territory”, as such terms are used in the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, added a definition of “Licensed Services”, and added AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator as parties to the Trademark License Agreement, as amended.
On November 8, 2011, AIV Holdings entered into an Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, by and among the Operating Company, AIV Holdings, New Mountain Finance and the Administrator, which added AIV Holdings as a party to, and clarified certain cost and expense allocation provisions in, the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated.
On November 8, 2011, AIV Holdings entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company, which clarified certain cost and expense allocation provisions in such agreement.
Dividend
On November 8, 2011, the Operating Company’s board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2011 distribution of $0.30 per unit payable on December 30, 2011 to holders of record as of December 15, 2011. As of this record date, AIV Holdings owns 20,221,938 units of the Operating Company and therefore will receive a total dividend of $6,066,581.40. Subsequently, AIV Holdings’ board of directors declared a total dividend of $6,066,581.40 payable on December 30, 2011 to holders of record as of December 15, 2011.
Since AIV Holdings is a holding company, all distributions on our common stock will be paid from distributions received from the Operating Company. The Operating Company intends to make distributions to its members that will be sufficient to enable AIV Holdings and New Mountain Finance to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders and to enable New Mountain Finance to obtain and maintain its status as a RIC. Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from the Operating Company in additional units of the Operating Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
We do not consolidate the Operating Company. AIV Holdings applies investment company master-feeder financial statement preparation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to our interest in the Operating Company (or the “Master Fund”). AIV Holdings believes that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a Master Fund-Feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a Master Fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of our investment in the Master Fund. The Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing and should be read in conjunction with that of AIV Holdings.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The Operating Company conducts the valuation of its assets, pursuant to which its net asset value and consequently AIV Holdings’ net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act.
AIV Holdings is a holding company with no direct operations of our own, and our sole asset is our ownership in the Operating Company. AIV Holdings’ investment in the Operating Company is carried at fair value and represents the pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. The Operating Company values our ownership interest on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
Revenue Recognition
At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to AIV Holdings based on our pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on AIV Holdings’ Statement of Operations. New Mountain Finance used the proceeds from its IPO and concurrent private placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on our investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between New Mountain Finance’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit. Concurrently, New Mountain Finance experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. This unrealized depreciation is shown separately on the Statement of Operations of AIV Holdings. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock issued in exchange for units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses. No shares have been exchanged since formation.
Results of Operations
As a result of the Master Fund-Feeder fund structure, AIV Holdings’ results of operations are a function of our pro-rata ownership interest in the Operating Company. Additionally, AIV Holdings commenced operations on May 19, 2011 and therefore has no comparative periods of results of operations. See the Operating Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of our units of the Operating Company for shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. If AIV Holdings exercised our right to exchange our units of the Operating Company, Guardian AIV, indirectly through AIV Holdings, would own approximately 65.4% of all outstanding shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock as of September 30, 2011.
AIV Holdings is not required, and it does not intend, to make any additional capital contributions to the Operating Company.
At September 30, 2011, we had no cash or cash equivalents. Cash used in operating activities from May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2011 was $11.3 million. Our liquidity is dependent on dividends from the Operating Company which we intend to distribute to our stockholders.
On May 19, 2011, New Mountain Finance priced its IPO of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, New Mountain Finance sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in a separate private placement.
The Operating Company’s liquidity is generated and generally available through advances from its revolving credit facilities, from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets, repayments of senior and subordinated loans, income earned on investments and cash equivalents, and, we expect, through periodic follow-on equity offerings of New Mountain Finance.
Distributions and Dividends

On November 8, 2011, the Operating Company’s board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2011 distribution of $0.30 per unit payable on December 30, 2011 to holders of record as of December 15, 2011. As of this record date, AIV Holdings owns 20,221,938 units of the Operating Company and therefore will receive a total dividend of $6,066,581.40. Subsequently, AIV Holdings’ board of directors declared a total dividend of $6,066,581.40 payable on December 30, 2011 to holders of record as of December 15, 2011.
Tax characteristics of all dividends paid by AIV Holdings will be reported to Guardian AIV on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Future quarterly dividends, if any, for both the Operating Company and AIV Holdings will be determined by the respective board of directors.
Since AIV Holdings is a holding company, all distributions on our common stock will be paid from distributions received from the Operating Company. The Operating Company intends to make distributions to its members that will be sufficient to enable AIV Holdings and New Mountain Finance to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders and to enable New Mountain Finance to obtain and maintain its status as a RIC. Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter. See the Operating Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included in this filing for further details.
AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from the Operating Company in additional units of the Operating Company.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2011 (the end of the period covered by this report), 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) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including 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 Securities and Exchange Commission filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

On May 19, 2011, New Mountain FinanceNMFC priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, New Mountain FinanceNMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in a separateconcurrent private placement.placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities. In connection with NMFC’s IPO and through a series of transactions, NMF Holdings owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.
NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companycompanies with no direct operations of itstheir own, and itstheir sole asset is itstheir ownership in NMF Holdings. New Mountain FinanceNMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of NMF Holdings, pursuant to which New Mountain Finance wasNMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as a membermembers of NMF Holdings andHoldings. NMFC acquired from NMF Holdings, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement,Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units (“units”) of NMF Holdings (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock sold in the IPO and the concurrent private placement)Concurrent Private Placement). In connection withAdditionally, NMFC received units of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Finance’s IPO and through a series of transactions, the Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.
Guardian Partners, L.P. Guardian AIV was the parent of the CompanyNMF Holdings prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in NMF Holdings. Guardian AIV contributed its units in NMF Holdings to its newly formed subsidiary, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings, Corporation (“AIV Holdings”), in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings.

The result is that any distributions made to NMFC’s stockholders that are attributable to such gains generally will not be treated as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.

The diagram below depicts our current organizational structure.
The Company’sNMF Holdings’ investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, ourNMF Holdings’ investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) opportunities for niche market dominance.
Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting—The consolidatedCompanies’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The CompanyNMF Holdings consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. (“NMF SLF”). NMFC and AIV Holdings do not consolidate the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings apply investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to their interest in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observe that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a Master Fund-Feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a Master Fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the Master Fund.
The consolidatedCompanies’ financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Operating Company’s portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements. Prior to the IPO, an affiliate of the Predecessor Entities paid a majority of the management and incentive fees. Historical operating expenses do not reflect the allocation of certain professional fees, administrative and other expenses that have been incurred following the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, the Operating Company’s historical operating expenses are not comparable to its operating expenses after the completion of the IPO.
InterimThe Companies’ interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, theythe Companies’ interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Investments — NMF Holdings—The Operating Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount 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. Investments are reflected on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments” and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Realized gains (losses) on investments”.
NMF HoldingsThe Operating Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Operating Company’s Boardboard of Directorsdirectors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where the Company’sits portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Operating Company’s quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from Bloomberg.independent pricing services.
(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.
a. Bond quotes are obtained through Interactive Data Corporation.independent pricing services. Analytics are performed by the investment professionals of the Company’s Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s
par value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and
b. For investments other than bonds, the Operating Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following:
i. Investments for which more than two quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained;
ii. Investments for which one or two quotes are received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:
a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;
b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Operating Company’s senior management;
c. If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Operating Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors; and
d. Also, when deemed appropriate by the Operating Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) inof a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
Valuation methods may include comparisons of financial ratios of the portfolio companies that issued such private securities to peer companies that are public, the nature of and the realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s earnings, discounted cash flows, the ability to make payments, the markets in which the portfolio company conducts business, and other relevant factors, including available market data such as relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Operating Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. 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 NMF Holdings’ investments may fluctuate from period to period.
NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the Operating Company. NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ investments in the Operating Company are carried at fair value and represent the respective pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. NMFC and AIV Holdings value their ownership interest on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.
See Note 3, Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.
Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Company definesCompanies define cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in value. Generally, these securities have original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue recognition —
The Operating Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sales and paydowns of investments:Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.
Interest income:income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Operating Company has loans in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, added to the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and generally due at maturity.
Non-accrual income: Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more orand when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.
Other income:Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees and other miscellaneous fees received. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date. Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. NMF Holdings may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received by NMF Holdings for providing such financing.
NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses): At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on their pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ Statements of Operations. NMFC used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. Concurrently, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between NMFC’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit.
All expenses, including those of NMFC and AIV Holdings, are paid and recorded by the Operating Company. Expenses are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO. NMFC and AIV Holdings have recorded their portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of their investment in the Operating Company.
With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of NMFC’s common stock issued in exchange for AIV Holdings’ units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is directly responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses. No shares have been exchanged since formation.
Interest and other credit facility expenses—Interest and other credit facility fees are recorded on an accrual basis.basis by the Operating Company. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.
Deferred credit facility costs— DeferredThe deferred credit facility costs of the Operating Company consist of capitalized expenses related to the origination and amending of the Operating Company’s existing credit facilities. These expenses are amortizedThe Operating Company amortizes these costs into expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the related credit facility. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.
Income taxes—NMF Holdings intends to beis treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as the partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on their respective share of the revenues orand expenses. NMF Holdings files United States (“U.S.”) federal, state, and local income tax returns.
NMFNMFC and AIV Holdings intend to elect to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as RICs under subchapter M of the Code, commencing with the filing of their December 31, 2011 income tax returns. As RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely distributed to stockholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.
To qualify as RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing at least 90.0% of their respective investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Since federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes.
Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof.
NMFC and AIV Holdings will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless NMFC and AIV Holdings distribute, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of their respective net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of their respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.
The Companies have adopted the Income Taxes topic of the Codification (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, and disclosed in the financial statements. Based on its analysis, NMF Holdings hastheir analyses, the Companies have determined that the adoption of ASC 740 did not have a material impact to the Company’sCompanies’ financial statements.
Dividends—Distributions to common unit holders of NMF Holdings and common stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are recorded on the record date as set by the Company’srespective board of directors. The Company and New Mountain Finance are required to take certain actions in order to maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the number of units held by New Mountain Finance and the number of shares of New Mountain Finance’s common stock outstanding. In addition, in order for New Mountain FinanceNMFC and AIV Holdings to pay a dividend or other distribution to holders of itstheir common stock, it must be accompanied by a prior distribution by NMF Holdings to all of its unit holders. NMF Holdings intends to make distributions to its unit holders that will be sufficient to enable New Mountain FinanceNMFC and AIV Holdings to pay quarterly distributions to itstheir stockholders and to obtain and maintain itstheir status as a RIC. New Mountain Finance intendsRICs. NMFC and AIV Holdings intend to distribute approximately all of itstheir portion of the Company’sNMF Holdings’ adjusted net investment income (see Note 5, Agreements) on a quarterly basis and substantially all of itstheir portion of the Company’sNMF Holdings’ taxable income on an annual basis, except that itNMFC may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
Under certain circumstances, the distributions that NMF Holdings makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV, its sole stockholder, out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter.
New Mountain FinanceNMF Holdings and NMFC are required to take certain actions in order to maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the number of units held by NMFC and the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock outstanding. NMFC has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides on behalf of its stockholders for reinvestment of any distributions declared, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. Cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock will be automatically reinvested by New Mountain FinanceNMFC into additional units of NMF Holdings. In addition, AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from NMF Holdings in additional units of NMF Holdings.
New Mountain FinanceNMFC applies the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders’ accounts is greater than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, New Mountain FinanceNMFC will use only newly issued shares to implement its dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the NYSE or, if no sale is reported for such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and asked prices. If New Mountain FinanceNMFC uses newly issued shares to implement the plan, New Mountain FinanceNMFC will receive, on a one-for-one basis, additional units of NMF Holdings in exchange for cash distributions that are reinvested in shares of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan.
If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders’ accounts is less than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, New Mountain FinanceNMFC will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the additional shares required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The number of shares of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s stockholders have been tabulated.
Foreign securities—The accounting records of the Operating Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. The Operating Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with “Net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of investments” and “Realized gains on investments” in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted.
Use of estimates—The preparation of the consolidatedCompanies’ financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidatedCompanies’ financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.

Investment Risk Factor—First and second lien debt that the Operating Company invests in is entirely, or almost entirely, rated below investment grade or may be unrated. These loans are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal and such defaults could reduce the net asset value and income distributions of the Operating Company. First and second lien debt may also lose significant market value before a default occurs. Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these first and second lien loans. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the debt.
Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is subordinated in payment and /or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured obligations of the borrower.
Note 4.Fair Value
Fair value is the amount 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. Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Operating Company has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Operating Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Operating Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:
·Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
·Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);
·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
·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 III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels I and II) and unobservable (Level III). Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels II and III) and unobservable inputs (Level III).
The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consider factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the reclassification of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period. Reclassifications impacting Level III of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level III categoryrespective leveling categories as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur.
The following table summarizes the levels in the fair value hierarchy that the Operating Company’s portfolio investments fall into as of September 30, 2011:March 31, 2012:

Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Level I, II, or III during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. Transfers into Level III occurred as quotations obtained through pricing services were not deemed representative of fair value as of the balance sheet date and such assets were internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services were substantiated through additional market sources, investments were transferred out of Level III. The Operating Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These investments are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans of the respective portfolio companies.
NMF Holdings generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there is little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs.
Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, NMF Holdings evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, NMF Holdings analyzes each portfolio company’s current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. NMF Holdings also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. NMF Holdings leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company.
Market Based Approach: NMF Holdings typically estimates the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. NMF Holdings carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. NMF Holdings generally applies an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company’s latest twelve month (“LTM”) EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate portfolio company enterprise value. This is done in order to ensure that there is an appropriate level of value
coverage for each investment. In applying the market based approach as of March 31, 2012, NMF Holdings used a range of 3.5x to 9.0x relevant EBITDA to determine the enterprise value of its investments. NMF Holdings believes this was a reasonable range in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific companies involved.
Income Based Approach: NMF Holdings also typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’s expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. In applying the income based approach as of March 31, 2012, NMF Holdings used a discount range of 6.3% to 23.4% to value its investments.
Based on a comparison to similar BDC credit facilities, the terms and conditions of the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility are representative of market. While both facilities have been amended and restated on May 8, 2012 to lower the applicable interest rate spread by 0.25%, the carrying values of the Holdings Credit Facility and SLF Credit Facility approximate fair value as of March 31, 2012, as both facilities are continually monitored and examined by both the borrower and the lender. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value based on the short term nature of these items. The fair value disclosures discussed in this paragraph are considered Level III.
Fair value risk factors — —The Operating Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Operating Company’s portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Operating Company’s investments and/or on the fair value of the Operating Company’s investments. The Operating Company’s investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal, resulting in a reduction in income to the Operating Company and thus the income of NMFC and AIV Holdings, and their corresponding fair valuations. Also, there may be risk associated with the concentration of investments in one geographic region or in certain industries. These events are beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted. Furthermore, the ability to liquidate investments and realize value is subject to uncertainties.
Note 5.Agreements
NMFOn May 19, 2011, NMFC entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which NMFC was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and agreed to acquire from the Operating Company a number of units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding of NMFC. Additionally on May 19, 2011, in connection with the contribution by Guardian AIV of its units to AIV Holdings, AIV Holdings entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which AIV Holdings was also admitted as a member of the Operating Company.
The Operating Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement, as amended and restated (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Investment Management Agreement with New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C.Adviser. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides
investment advisory services to, NMF Holdings.the Operating Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from NMF Holdings,the Operating Company, consisting of two components — components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Operating Company’s gross assets less (i) the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowing Facilities) and (ii) cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Operating Company’s gross assets, borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility, and cash and cash equivalents at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of the Operating Company’s “Pre-incentive“Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a “preferred return”, or “hurdle”, and a “catch-up” feature. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Operating Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Operating Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred membership units (of which there are none as of March 31, 2012), but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Operating Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Under GAAP, New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Operating Company’s existing investments to fair market value at the IPO date. Since the total value of the Operating Company’s investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments’ cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in the future. The Operating Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount on ourthe Operating Company’s investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market value. This is defined as “Pre-incentive“Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income”. The Operating Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains (“Adjusted Realized Capital Gains”) or losses (“Adjusted Realized Capital Losses”) and unrealized capital depreciation. This is defined as “Adjusted Realized Capital Gains”, “Adjusted Realized Capital Losses”, and “Adjustedappreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation”) and unrealized capital depreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation”).
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Operating Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of the Operating Company’s incentive fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
· No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (the “preferred return” or “hurdle”).
· 100.0% of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the “catch-up”. The catch-up provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.
· 20.0% of the amount of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.
The second part will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0% of the Operating Company’s Adjusted Realized Capital Gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of the each calendar year, computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.
In accordance with GAAP, NMF Holdings accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and the 1940 Act, and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis.basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value.
The management fee and incentive fee incurred by the Operating Company were $2,514,296 and $3,361,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which includes an accrual of $911,178 of capital gains incentive fees. These accrued capital gains incentive fees would be paid by the Operating Company if the Operating Company ceased operations on March 31, 2012 and liquidated its investments at the current valuation. No accrual was required for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and forMarch 31, 2011. No management fee or incentive fees were incurred by the period from May 19, 2011 (effective date ofOperating Company under the Investment Management Agreement) to September 30, 2011.
The management fee and incentive fee were $1,930,140 and $700,610Agreement for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011, and $2,737,649 and $1,205,003 for the period from May 19, 2011 (effective date ofas the Investment Management Agreement) to September 30, 2011.Agreement was not yet effective. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Operating Company incurred $34,000 in management fees under the investment advisory and management agreements of the Predecessor Entities. The Operating Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations below is adjusted as if step-up in cost basis to fair market value had occurred at the IPO date.

8.Leverage risk factors—The Operating Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment and other general business purposes. The Operating Company’s lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims of the Operating Company’s unit holders, and therefore NMFC’s common stockholders, and the Operating Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Operating Company’s fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Operating Company’s net asset value. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Operating Company’s income than if the Operating Company had not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect the Operating Company’s ability to make dividend payments to its unit holders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. The Operating Company’s ability to service any debt incurred will depend largely on financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.
Note 8. Regulation
AsNMFC and AIV Holdings intend to elect to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as RICs under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with the filing of their December 31, 2011 income tax returns. In order to qualify as RICs, among other things, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to timely distribute to their stockholders at least 90.0% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. NMFC and AIV Holdings, among other things, intend to make and continue to make the requisite distributions to their stockholders, which will generally relieve NMFC and AIV Holdings from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code). However, under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a business development company, NMFRIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV.
Additionally as BDCs, the Companies must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

11.Note 13. Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which provides clarification about how to measure fair value and improves comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments included in ASU 2011-04 clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements outlined in ASC 820, as well as includesinclude some instances of changes to particular principles or requirements. ASU 2011-04 clarifies that (i) the concept of the highest and best use valuation premise applies only to nonfinancial assets, (ii) instruments classified in shareholders’stockholders’ equity should be valued from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset, and (iii) quantitative information should be disclosed about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 changes the guidance in (i) permitting an exception to ASC 820 by allowing an entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to market and credit risks to be consistent with the entity’s net risk exposures, instead of gross risk, (ii) applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement lacking a Level I inputs to be consistent with the ASC 820 requirements of fair value measurement but that applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement related to size as a characteristic of the holding rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability is not permitted, and (iii) requiring additional disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy, including the valuation processes used and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2011-04 willdid not have a significant impact on the Companies’ financial statements. Additional disclosure was added where applicable.

New Mountain Finance entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of NMF Holdings, pursuant to which New Mountain Finance was admitted as a member of NMF Holdings and acquired from NMF Holdings, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement common membership units (“units”) of NMF Holdings (the number of units are equal“Concurrent Private Placement”). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were issued to the number of shareslimited partners of New Mountain Finance’s common stock soldGuardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the IPO and the concurrent private placement).Predecessor Entities. In connection with New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s IPO and through a series of transactions, NMF Holdings owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.
NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in NMF Holdings. NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of NMF Holdings, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of NMF Holdings. NMFC acquired from NMF Holdings, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units (“units”) of NMF Holdings (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. Guardian AIV was the parent of NMF Holdings prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in NMF Holdings. Guardian AIV contributed its units in NMF Holdings to its newly formed subsidiary, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings, Corporation (“AIV Holdings”), in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in NMF Holdings for shares of New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.
As of September 30, 2011, New Mountain FinanceMarch 31, 2012, NMFC and AIV Holdings own approximately 34.6% and 65.4%, respectively, of the units of NMF Holdings.
The current structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC from being allocated taxable income with respect to unrecognized gains that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities’ assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to AIV Holdings. The result is that any distributions made to NMFC’s stockholders that are attributable to such gains generally will not be treated as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.
The diagram below depicts our current organizational structure.
NMF Holdings’ investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, ourNMF Holdings’ investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) opportunities for niche market dominance.
As of September 30, 2011, ourMarch 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s net asset value was $411.9$434.3 million and ourits portfolio had a fair value of approximately $604.3$758.2 million in 5057 portfolio companies, with a weighted average Unadjusted and Adjusted Yield to Maturity of approximately 10.9%10.6% and 14.0%12.8%, respectively. “Adjusted Yield to Maturity” assumes that the investments in ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio are purchased at fair value on September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage, except for the non-recourse debt of New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C (“NMF SLF”). NMF SLF is treated as a fully levered asset of the Operating Company, with NMF SLF’s net asset value being included for yield calculation purposes. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of LIBORthe London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) contracts by the individual companies in ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio or other factors. References to “Unadjusted Yield to Maturity” have the same assumptions as Adjusted Yield to Maturity except that NMF SLF is not treated as a fully levered asset of the Operating Company, but rather the assets themselves are consolidated into the Operating Company.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.
Basis of Accounting
NMF Holdings consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings do not consolidate the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings apply investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to their interest in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observe that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a Master Fund-Feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a Master Fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the Master Fund.
Valuation and Leveling of Portfolio Investments
NMF HoldingsThe Operating Company conducts the valuation of assets, pursuant to which its net asset value, and, consequently, New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ net asset value isvalues are determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act.
NMF Holdings’The Operating Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, our Boardthe Operating Company’s board of Directorsdirectors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of ourits portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available, and any other situation where ourits portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. OurThe Operating Company’s quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from Bloomberg.independent pricing services.
(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.
a. Bond quotes are obtained through Interactive Data Corporation.independent pricing services. Analytics are performed by the investment professionals of the Company’s Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below);
b. For investments other than bonds, wethe investment professionals of the Investment Adviser look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following:
i. Investments for which more than two quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained;
ii. Investments for which one or two quotes are received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable
to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:
a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;
b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with ourthe Operating Company’s senior management;
c. If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which wethe investment professionals of the Investment Adviser do not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by ourthe Operating Company’s board of directors.
d. Also, when deemed appropriate by ourthe Operating Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) inof a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
Valuation methods may include comparisons of financial ratios of the portfolio companies that issued such private securities to peer companies that are public, the nature of and the realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s earnings, discounted cash flows, the ability to make payments, the markets in which the portfolio company conducts business, and other relevant factors, including available market data such as relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. 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 certain investments may fluctuate from period to period.
GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
Level I — I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and NMF Holdings has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), NMF Holdings, to the extent that we hold such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where NMF Holdings holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II — II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:
A)· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
· 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 III — III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.
The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the reclassification of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period.
The following table summarizes the levels in the fair value hierarchy that ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio investments fall into as of September 30, 2011:March 31, 2012:

MonitoringCompany Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of Portfolio Investments
We monitorits due diligence process, NMF Holdings evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, NMF Holdings analyzes each portfolio company’s current operating performance and relevant financial trends of our portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. We attemptversus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. NMF Holdings also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments withinat the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of ourits original investment strategy.
We use an investment rating systemthesis. This analysis is specific to characterizeeach portfolio company. NMF Holdings leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and monitorultimately form the credit profile and expected levelvaluation of returns on eachits investment in the portfolio. We use a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:
·Investment Rating 1 — Investment is performing above expectations;
·Investment Rating 2 — Investment is performing in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 when approved;
·Investment Rating 3 — Investment is performing below expectations and risk has increased since the original investment; and
·Investment Rating 4 — Investment is performing substantially below expectations and risks have increased substantially since the original investment.each portfolio company.
AsMarket Based Approach: NMF Holdings typically estimates the total enterprise value of September 30, 2011, all investments in oureach portfolio had an Investment Ratingcompany by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA) multiples of 1 or 2 withpublicly traded comparable companies. NMF Holdings carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the exception of one investment. As of September 30, 2011, ATI Acquisition Company had an Investment Rating of 3 dueappropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the underlying business encountering some regulatory headwinds which, while we believe will ultimately be resolved, have ledtype of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. NMF Holdings generally applies an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company’s underperformancelatest twelve month (“LTM”) EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate portfolio company enterprise value. This is done in order to ensure that there is an appropriate level of value coverage for each investment. In applying the market based approach as of March 31, 2012, NMF Holdings used a range of 3.5x to 9.0x relevant EBITDA to determine the enterprise value of its investments. NMF Holdings believes this was a reasonable range in light of current quarter. As of September 30, 2011, our investment in ATI Acquisition Company hadcomparable company trading levels and the specific companies involved.
Income Based Approach: NMF Holdings also typically uses a cost basis of $4.3 million and adiscounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of $1.4 million.the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’s expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. In applying the income based approach as of March 31, 2012, NMF Holdings used a discount range of 6.3% to 23.4% to value its investments.
Revenue Recognition
The Operating Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sales and paydowns of investmentsinvestments: : Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.
Interest incomeincome: : Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. NMF HoldingsThe Operating Company has loans in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, added to the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and generally due at maturity.
Non-accrual incomeincome: : Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more orand when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.
Other incomeincome: : Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees and other miscellaneous fees received. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date.
NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ revenue recognition policies are as follows:
A-35Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses): At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on their pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ Statements of Operations. NMFC used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. Concurrently, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between NMFC’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit.
All expenses, including those of NMFC and AIV Holdings, are paid and recorded by the Operating Company. Expenses are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO. NMFC and AIV Holdings have recorded their portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of their investment in the Operating Company.
With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of NMFC’s common stock issued in exchange for units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses. No shares have been exchanged since formation.
Monitoring of Portfolio Investments
The Operating Company monitors the performance and financial trends of its portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. The Operating Company attempts to identify any developments at the portfolio company or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of its original investment strategy.
The Operating Company uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the portfolio. The Operating Company uses a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:
·Investment Rating 1—Investment is performing materially above expectations;
·Investment Rating 2—Investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 at initial purchase;
·Investment Rating 3—Investment is performing materially below expectations and risk has increased materially since the original investment; and
·Investment Rating 4—Investment is performing substantially below expectations and risks have increased substantially since the original investment. Payments may be delinquent. There is meaningful possibility that the Operating Company will not recoup its original cost basis in the investment and may realize a substantial loss upon exit.
As of March 31, 2012, all investments in the Operating Company’s portfolio had an Investment Rating of 1 or 2 with the exception of one investment. As of March 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s original first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company had an Investment Rating of 4 due to the underlying business encountering significant regulatory headwinds which have led to the portfolio company’s underperformance. At March 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s original first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company was also put on non-accrual status due to the inability of the portfolio company to service its interest payments for the quarter then ended and uncertainty about its ability to pay such amounts in the future. As of March 31, 2012, this first lien debt investment had
a cost basis of $4.3 million, a fair value of $0.4 million and total unearned interest income of $0.1 million for the quarter then ended. Additionally, the Operating Company has two super priority first lien debt investments in ATI Acquisition Company with a combined cost basis of $1.6 million and a combined fair value of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2012. Unrealized gains include a fee that the Operating Company would receive upon maturity of the two super priority first lien debt investments. Neither super priority first lien positions are on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s total investment in ATI Acquisition Company had an aggregate cost basis of $5.9 million and an aggregate fair value of $2.2 million.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which provides clarification about how to measure fair value and improves comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments included in ASU 2011-04 clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements outlined in ASC 820, as well as include some instances of changes to particular principles or requirements. ASU 2011-04 clarifies that (i) the concept of the highest and best use valuation premise applies only to nonfinancial assets, (ii) instruments classified in stockholders’ equity should be valued from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset, and (iii) quantitative information should be disclosed about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 changes the guidance in (i) permitting an exception to ASC 820 by allowing an entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to market and credit risks to be consistent with the entity’s net risk exposures, instead of gross risk, (ii) applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement lacking a Level I inputs to be consistent with the ASC 820 requirements of fair value measurement but that applying premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement related to size as a characteristic of the holding rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability is not permitted, and (iii) requiring additional disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy, including the valuation processes used and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact on the Companies’ financial statements. Additional disclosure was added where applicable.
Results of Operations
Since NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their only business and sole asset are their ownership of common membership units of the Operating Company, NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ results of operations are based on the Operating Company’s results of operations.
Under GAAP, New Mountain Finance’sNMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of ourthe Operating Company’s existing investments to fair market value at the IPO date. Since the total value of ourthe Operating Company’s investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments’ cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, and different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in the future. We trackThe Operating Company
tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of ourits investment as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjustadjusts income as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO (or stepped up to fair market value). The respective “Adjusted Net Investment Income” (as defined in Note 5, Agreements,(defined as net investment income adjusted to reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at the IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the notes to the financial statements included in this report)IPO date) is used in calculating both the incentive fee and dividend payments. The below StatementOperating Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of Operationseach of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains (“Adjusted Realized Capital Gains”) or losses (“Adjusted Realized Capital Losses”) and unrealized capital appreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation”) and unrealized capital depreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation”). See Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 5, Agreements for additional details.
The following table for the Operating Company for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 is adjusted to reflect thisthe step-up to fair market value.value and the allocation of the incentive fees related to hypothetical capital gains out of the adjusted post-incentive fee net investment income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, weMarch 31, 2012, the Operating Company had a $1.2$1.0 million adjustment to interest income for amortization, and a decrease of $1.4$0.7 million to realized gains and an increase of $1.7 million to unrealized appreciation to adjust for the stepped-up cost basis of the transferred investments.investments as discussed above. The Operating Company’s Adjusted Net Investment Income was $8.8$9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012.
In accordance with GAAP, the Operating Company accrued $0.9 million of hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value. As of March 31, 2012, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement, cumulative net Adjusted Realized Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Depreciation.

The Operating Company’s net realized and unrealized gains or losses resulted in a net lossgain of $15.2$13.8 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 compared to a net gain of $18.4$7.0 million for the same period in 2010. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily driven by the depreciation of our portfolio as a result of the overall decline in market prices. The net gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily driven by the sharp rise in market prices.2011. We look at total realized and unrealized gains or losses together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations. The net gain for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily related to the overall increase in the market, directly impacting the prices of the Operating Company’s portfolio. The net gain for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily driven by the appreciation of the Operating Company’s portfolio and the sale or repayment of investments with fair values in excess of December 31, 2010 valuations, resulting in realized gains being greater than the reversal of the cumulative unrealized gains for those investments.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure aboutDisclosures About Market Risk
We areNMF Holdings is subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. During the three months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, certain of the loans held in ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio had floating interest rates. Interest rates on the loans held within ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio of investments are typically based on floating LIBOR, with many of these assets also having a LIBOR floor. Additionally, ourthe Operating Company’s senior secured revolving credit facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on 1-month floating LIBOR rates.
The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates increase by 100, 200 or 300 basis points, or decrease by 25 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio of investments held on September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of ourthe Operating Company’s two outstanding revolving credit facilities. For ourthe Operating Company’s floating rate credit facilities, we useNMF Holdings uses the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. Interest expense on ourthe Operating Company’s floating rate credit facilities are calculated using the interest rate as of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on ourthe Operating Company’s portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 (the end of the period covered by this report), 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) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including 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 Securities and Exchange Commission filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’sCompanies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 20112012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sCompanies’ internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the company’sCompanies’ registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly reporting companies.
The terms “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Companies” refers to the collective: New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation.
We, New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. and New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C., are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The recent downgrade ofIn addition to the U.S. credit ratingother information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which could negatively impactmaterially affect our liquidity,business, financial condition and earnings. Due to the current federal budget deficit concerns, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) downgraded the federal government’s credit rating from AAA to AA+ for the first time in history on August 5, 2011. This downgrade could lead to subsequent downgrades by S&P, as well as to downgrades by the other two major credit rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings. These developments and the government’s credit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact both the perception of credit risk associated with our debt portfolio and our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, a decreased credit rating could create broader financial turmoil and uncertainty, which may weigh heavily on our stock price and our financial performance.
Besides the risk mentioned above, there has been no material change in the information provided under the heading “Risk Factors”and/or operating results. The risks described in our Registration StatementAnnual Report on Form N-2 dated May 16, 2011.10-K are not the only risks facing the Companies. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

We, the Operating Company, New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. and New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
|
The recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating could negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and earnings. Due to the current federal budget deficit concerns, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) downgraded the federal government’s credit rating from AAA to AA+ for the first time in history on August 5, 2011. This downgrade could lead to subsequent downgrades by S&P, as well as to downgrades by the other two major credit rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings. These developments, and the government’s credit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact both the perception of credit risk associated with our debt portfolio and our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, a decreased credit rating could create broader financial turmoil and uncertainty, which may weigh heavily on our stock price and our financial performance.
There has been no other material change in the information provided under the heading “Risk Factors” in the disclosure documents filed as an exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form 10 dated May 19, 2011. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We did not engage in unregistered sales of securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
