Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

As an investment company, the accompanying financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of ASC Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies,” as amended (“ASC Topic 946”), which incorporates the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X, as well as generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management of the Company, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period included herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for future periods. The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ, and these differences could be material.

 


16

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. No cash equivalent balances were held at March 31,on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At such dates, cash was not subject to any restrictions on withdrawal.

 

Expenses

The Company is responsible for investment expenses, legal expenses, auditing fees and other expenses related to the Company’s operations. Such fees and expenses, including expenses initially incurred by the Adviser, may be reimbursed by the Company.

 

Investment Valuation Policy

The Company conducts the valuation of the Company’s investments, pursuant to which the Company’s net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), with the assistance of the Company’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”), determines the fair value of the Company’s investments, for investments with a public market and for investments with no readily available public market, on at least a quarterly basis, in accordance with the terms of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” (“ASC 820”). The Company’s valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same – to estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

 

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

 

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position, and a sale could reasonably be expected to impact the quoted price.

 

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in markets that are not active, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

 


17

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The types of financial instruments in this category include investments in privately held entities, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.

 

Pursuant to the framework set forth above, the Company values securities traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the exchange closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services, brokers or dealers’ quotes, or counterparty marks in order to value liquid assets that are not traded in active markets.

 

Pricing services aggregate, evaluate and report pricing from a variety of sources including observed trades of identical or similar securities, broker or dealer quotes, model-based valuations and internal fundamental analysis and research. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient in accordance with GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.

 

Securities that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, are each valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available. These valuation techniques vary by investment but include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. Inputs for these valuation techniques include relative credit information, observed market movement, industry sector information, and other market data, which may include benchmarking of comparable securities, issuer spreads, reported trades, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available. The process used to determine the applicable value is as follows:

 

(i) Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment using a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs and updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs. Additionally, as a part of the Company’s valuation process, the Adviser may employ the services of one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company;

 

(ii) Preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management and members of the Adviser’s valuation team;

 

(iii) The Audit Committee reviews the assessments of the Adviser or independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and provides the Board of Directors with recommendations with respect to the fair value of the investments in the Company’s portfolio; and

 

(iv) The Board of Directors discusses the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determines the fair value of the investments in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy.

 


18

The Audit Committee’s recommendation of fair value is generally based on its assessment of the following factors, as relevant:

 

·the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

 

·call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;

 

·the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;

 

·the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;

 

·prevailing interest rates for like securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;

 

·the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and

 

·comparisons to publicly traded securities.

 

Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available as of the measurement date, which in many cases may reflect up to a one quarter lag in information.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include the following:

 

·private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;

 

·securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;

 

·debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;

 

·securities whose prices are stale; and

 

·securities affected by significant events.

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments.

 

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the

 

Company’s financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed or, in the case of privately issued securities, the closing date, which is when all terms of the transactions have been defined).

 

Realized gains and losses on investments are determined based on the identified cost method.

 

In addition, on December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which establishes an updated regulatory framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The newadopted rule clarifies how fund boards can satisfy their valuation obligations in light of recent market developments. The rule will permitpermits boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform the fair value determinations. The Company will continue to review the newadopted rule and its impact on the Company and its valuation policies.policies and intends to comply with such requirements on or before the SEC’s required compliance date in 2022.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium, acquisition costs, and amendment fees and the accretion of original issue discount (“OID”), are recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when a loan becomes 120 days or more past due, or if the Company’s qualitative assessment indicates that the debtor is unable to service its debt or other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. However, the Company will remain contractually entitled to this interest. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current or, due to a restructuring, the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had onedid not hold any investment on non-accrual which represented 0.27% and 0.16% of its total portfolio at cost and fair market value, respectively.non-accrual. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had one investment on non-accrual which represented 0.28% and 0.17% of its total portfolio at cost and fair market value, respectively.

 

The Company currently holds loans in the portfolio that contain OID and that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. The Company recognizes OID for loans originally issued at a discount and recognizes the income over the life of the obligation based on an effective yield calculation. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in a loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of a loan and recorded as income over the life of the obligation. Therefore, the actual collection of PIK income may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. To maintain the ability to be taxed as a RIC, the Company may need to pay out of both OID and PIK non-cash income amounts in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash on either.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company held 204213 investments in loans with OID. The Company accrued OID income of $118,551$109,095 and $338,404 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.September 30, 2021, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID on debt investments as of March 31,September 30, 2021, totaled $2,356,925.$2,413,162. As of December 31, 2020, the Company held 197 investments in loans with OID. The Company accrued OID income of $93,473$102,083 and $282,729 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2020, respectively. The unamortized balance of OID investments as of December 31, 2020, totaled $2,299,058.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company held three investments which had a PIK interest component. The Company recorded $40,499 in$49,599 and $200,382 of PIK interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.September 30, 2021, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company held one investmentthree investments which had a PIK interest component. The Company did not record anyrecorded $39,222 and $75,145 of PIK interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2020, respectively.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $13,622,836$13,397,892 and $4,289,122 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company earned $477 and $1,107, respectively, of interest income related to cash, which is included in other interest income within the accompanying statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company earned $274$1,058 and $28,670,$31,053, respectively, of interest income related to cash, which is included in other interest income within the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Other Income Recognition

The Company generally records prepayment fees and amendment fees upon receipt of cash or as soon as the Company becomes aware of the prepayment or amendment.

 

Dividend income on equity investments is accrued to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and if the Company has the option to collect such amounts in cash.

 

Prepayment fees, amendment fees and dividend income are accrued in other income in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company accrued $20,772 and $83,774 of other income, respectively, related to amendment fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued $47,514$14,577 and $14,740$153,950 of other income, respectively, related to amendment fees.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.

 

Note 3. Investments

 

Investments

The Company’s investments, at any time, may include syndicated loans, securities, structured products and other financial instruments, including, without limitation, corporate and government bonds, convertible securities, term loans, equity securities (both common and preferred), various debt securities (both secured and unsecured), dividend-paying equity, royalties, collateralized loan obligations, and warrants (collectively, the “investments”).

Fair Value

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of the Company’s investments is determined to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, assuming an orderly transaction between willing market participants on the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. ASC 820 also establishes the three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of a financial instrument as of the measurement date as described in Note–Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, $174,269,967$171,713,920 of the Company’s investments were valued using unobservable inputs, and $192,990,277$191,727,540 were valued using observable inputs. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, $23,375,318$21,840,607 transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in observable prices in the market and $46,631,514$46,432,486 transferred out of Level 3 due to the liquidity in the market and transparency of inputs.

 

As of December 31, 2020, $199,000,205 of the Company’s investments were valued using unobservable inputs, and $156,359,638 were valued using observable inputs. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, $65,946,077$15,434,694 transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in observable prices in the markermarket and $20,650,498$74,210,909 transferred out of Level 3 due to the liquidity in the market and transparency of inputs.

The table above does not include $7,970,243 of debt, equity and preferred shares which management values using other unobservable inputs, such as EBITDA and EBITDA multiples, as well as other qualitative information, including company specific information.

 

Fair value measurements can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the valuation inputs. Changes in market yields, discounts rate, leverage, EBITDA or EBITDA multiples (or revenue or revenue multiples), each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments. Generally, an increase or decrease in market yields, discount rates or leverage or an increase/decrease in EBITDA or EBITDA multiples (or revenue or revenue multiples) may result in a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments.

 

The following tables provide the changes in fair value, broken out by security type, during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 for all investments for which the Company determines fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. In accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser certain fees as compensation for its services, such fees consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”). The services the Adviser provides to the Company, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, include managing the day-to-day operations of, and providing investment services to, the Company. The Company also entered into a management fee waiver agreement with the Adviser (the “Waiver Agreement”), which the Company or the Adviser may terminate upon 60 days’ prior written notice.

 

Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.0% of the Company’s average gross assets including cash and any temporary investments in cash-equivalents, including U.S. government securities and other high-quality investment grade debt investments that mature in 12 months or less from the date of investment, payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis.

 


Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive the right to receive the base management fee to the extent necessary so that the base management fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement equals, and is calculated in the same manner as if, the base management fee otherwise payable by the Company were calculated at an annual rate equal to 0.65% (instead of an annual rate of 1.00%).

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company recorded base management fees of $914,050$947,361 and $2,810,141, respectively, and waivers to the base management fees of $319,917,$331,576 and $983,548, respectively, as set forth within the accompanying statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company recorded base management fees of $880,852$874,188 and $2,697,570, respectively, and waivers to the base management fees of $308,298,$305,966 and $944,150, respectively, as set forth within the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Incentive Fee

The Incentive Fee has two parts, as follows: the first part of the Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, 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 Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee).

28

 

The Company determines pre-incentive fee net investment income in accordance with GAAP, including, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature, such as debt instruments with PIK interest, OID securities and accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, computed net of all realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle of 1.0% per quarter (4.0% annualized). The Company determines its average gross assets during each fiscal quarter and calculates the base management fee payable with respect to such amount at the end of each fiscal quarter.  As a result, a portion of the Company’s net investment income is included in its gross assets for the period between the date on which such income is earned and the date on which such income is distributed. Therefore, the Company’s net investment income used to calculate part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the 1.0% annual base management fee. The Company pays its Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

 ·

no amount is paid on the income-portion of the Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle of 1.0% (4.0% annualized);

 

 

 

 

 

·100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.1765 % in any calendar quarter (4.706% annualized). The Company refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.1765%) as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 15.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if net investment income exceeds 1.1765% in any calendar quarter (4.706% annualized); and
 ·15.0% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.1765% in any calendar quarter (4.706% annualized) is payable to the Adviser.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive its right to receive the Incentive Fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income to the extent necessary so that such Incentive Fee equals, and is calculated in the same manner as, the corresponding Incentive Fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income, if such Incentive Fee (i) were calculated based upon the Adviser receiving 10.0% (instead of 15.0%) of the applicable pre-incentive fee net investment income and (ii) did not include any “catch-up” feature in favor of the Adviser.

 


The second part of the Incentive Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 15.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from June 16, 2015, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 (file no. 000-55426), through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain Incentive Fees with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive the right to receive the Incentive Fee on capital gains to the extent necessary so that such portion of the Incentive Fee equals, and is calculated in the same manner as, the corresponding Incentive Fee on capital gains, if such portion of the Incentive Fee were calculated based upon the Adviser receiving 10.0% (instead of 15.0%).

 

In addition, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive the right to receive both components of the Incentive Fee to the extent necessary so that it does not receive Incentive Fees which are attributable to income and gains of the Company that exceed an annualized rate of 12.0% in any calendar quarter.

 

The waivers from the Adviser will remain effective until terminated earlier by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice.

 

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we do not pay any Capital Gains Incentive Fee in respect of unrealized capital appreciation in our portfolio.  However, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we are required to accrue for the Capital Gain Incentive Fee on a quarterly basis as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized in full at the end of each period. If the Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base, adjusted as required by GAAP to include unrealized appreciation, is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP and the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement require us to accrue a capital gain incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gain incentive fees paid or capital gain incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. The resulting accrual under GAAP for a capital gain incentive fee payable in any period will result in additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period, or in a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. We can offer no assurance that any unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

29

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company recorded incentive fees related to net investment income of $291,293.$260,092 and $647,839, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company recorded incentive fees related to net investment income of $661,359.$356,461 and $1,641,419, respectively. Offsetting the incentive fees were waivers of the incentive fees of $563,778$320,815 and $1,437,466 for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, respectively, as set forth within the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Administration Agreement and Administrative Fee

The Company has also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Audax Management Company, LLC (the “Administrator”) pursuant to which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Company. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, which include being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and prepare reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company reimburses the Administrator for its allocable portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator for overhead in performance by the Administrator of its duties under the Administration Agreement, including the cost of facilities, office equipment and the Company’s allocable portion of cost of compensation and related expenses of its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator relating to any administrative or operating services provided by the Administrator to the Company. Such costs are reflected as an administrative fee in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

The Company has also entered into a fee waiver agreement with the Administrator, pursuant to which the Administrator may waive, in whole or in part, its entitlement to receive reimbursements from the Company.

Note 6. Income Tax

 

The Company has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, as well as elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company generally is not subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it timely distributes as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders. To qualify to be treated as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, and to timely distribute dividends out of assets legally available for distributions to its stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of the sum of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any (i.e., “investment company taxable income,” determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), for each taxable year. The amount to be paid out as distributions to the Company’s stockholders is determined by the Board of Directors and is based on management’s estimate of the fiscal year earnings. Based on that estimate, the Company intends to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes. Although the Company currently intends to distribute its net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, recognized in respect of each taxable year as dividends out of the Company’s assets legally available for distribution, the Company in the future may decide to retain for investment and be subject to entity-level income tax on such net capital gains. Additionally, depending on the level of taxable income earned in a taxable year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next taxable year and incur a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company will accrue an excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such excess taxable income is earned.

 


The Company had aggregate distributions declared and paid to its stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $16,177,757, or $0.43 per share. The tax character of the distributions declared and paid represented $15,911,638 from ordinary income and $266,119 from tax return of capital. The Company had aggregate distributions declared and paid to its stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $17,084,202, or $0.52 per share. The tax character of the distributions declared and paid represented $16,941,968 from ordinary income and $142,234 from tax return of capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company declared and paid distributions of $7,801,905, or $0.20 per share. The tax character of the distributions declared and paid represented $7,656,579 from ordinary income and $145,326 from tax return of capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared and paid distributions of $8,125,607, or $0.215 per share. The tax character of the distributions declared and paid represented $8,125,607 from ordinary income.

31

 

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually at the end of the

 

Company’s taxable year, based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full taxable year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to the Company’s stockholders subject to information reporting after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

 

U.S. GAAP requires adjustments to certain components of net assets to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These adjustments have no effect on net asset value per share. For the yearyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded the following adjustments for permanent book to tax differences to reflect their tax characteristics. The adjustments only change the classification in net assets in the statements of assets and liabilities. During the yearyears ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reclassified for book purposes amounts arising from permanent book/tax differences primarily related to distribution redesignations and return of capital distributions.

Certain losses incurred by the Company after October 31 of a taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Company’s next taxable year. The Company did not incur such losses after October 31 of the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2020.

 


Capital losses are generally eligible to be carried forward indefinitely and retain their status as short-term or long-term in the manner originally incurred by the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has long-term capital loss carryforward of $3,157,649. The Company has evaluated tax positions it has taken, expects to take, or that are otherwise relevant to the Company for purposes of determining whether any relevant tax positions would “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the applicable tax authority in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” as modified by ASC Topic 946. The Company has analyzed such tax positions and has concluded that no unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded for uncertain tax positions for taxable years that may be open. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company records tax positions that are not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold as tax expenses as well as any applicable penalties or interest associated with such positions. During each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, no tax expense or any related interest or penalties were incurred.

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” us,” our” and the “Company” refer to Audax Credit BDC Inc. The information contained in this section should be read in the conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

This quarterly report and other statements contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon.

Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including:

 

·our future operating results;

·our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

·our ability to continue to effectively manage our business due to COVID-19 and similar pandemics;

·the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

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

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this quarterly report and our Annual Report as well as risk factors described or identified in other filings we may make with the SEC from time to time. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report.

OVERVIEW

 

Audax Credit BDC Inc. is a Delaware corporation that was formed on January 29, 2015. We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intendsintend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

 

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We intend to meet our investment objective by investing primarily in senior secured debt of privately owned U.S. middle market companies. We intend to invest at least 80% of our net assets plus the amount of any borrowings in “credit instruments,” which we define as any fixed income instruments. We may also invest, at any time and from time to time, in syndicated loans, securities, structured products and other financial instruments, including, without limitation, corporate and government bonds, convertible securities, term loans, equity securities (both common and preferred), various debt securities (both secured and unsecured), dividend-paying equity, royalties, collateralized loan obligations, and warrants.

 

Although we have no present intention of doing so, we may decide to incur leverage. If we do incur leverage, however, we anticipate that it will be used in limited circumstances and on a short-term basis for purposes such as funding distributions. As a BDC, we are limited in our use of leverage under the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a BDC generally is required to maintain asset coverage of 200% for senior securities representing indebtedness (such as borrowings from banks or other financial institutions) or stock (such as preferred stock). The Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”), which was signed into law on March 23, 2018, provides that a BDC's required asset coverage under the 1940 Act may be reduced from 200% (i.e., $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) to 150% (i.e., $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity). This reduction in asset coverage permits a BDC to double the amount of leverage it may utilize, subject to certain approval, timing and reporting requirements, including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the arrangement. In addition, as a non-traded BDC, if we receive the relevant approval to increase our authorized leverage, we will be required to offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their shares of Common Stock over the next year following the calendar quarter in which the approval was obtained. In determining whether to use leverage, we will analyze the maturity, covenants and interest rate structure of the proposed borrowings, as well as the risks of such borrowings within the context of our investment outlook and the impact of leverage on our investment portfolio. The amount of any leverage that we will employ as a BDC will be subject to oversight by our Board of Directors.

 

We generate revenue in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold in our portfolio companies. The senior debt we invest in generally has stated terms of three to ten years. Our senior debt investments generally bear interest at a floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions, although we do not expect to do so. OID as well as market discount and premium are accreted and amortized in determining our interest income. We record any prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as income.

 

COVID-19 Developments

 

The market disruptions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have continuedmay continue to adversely affect the business operations of some if not all, of our portfolio companies and have affected, and may continue to affect our operations and the operations of our Adviser. As the COVID-19 outbreak and the related business shutdowns continue to evolve, we cannot reasonably predict its fullcontinuing impact on our business operations, including its duration in the United States and worldwide, the extent of the global economic recovery and the uncertainty surrounding the vaccine roll-out andvarious vaccination mandates as more contagious strains of the virus thatemerge in various countries, including the United States (particularly the “Delta variant”). Such contagious variants, in conjunction with more frequent and concentrated social gatherings, including the re-opening of many schools and colleges across the country, and more relaxed mask requirements and social distancing norms have emergedresulted in surges in the rates of COVID-19 infections worldwide. Furthermore, large portions of the population in the United States.States and elsewhere remain unvaccinated due to limited access to vaccines, the politicization of the vaccine mandates, the general public distrust of the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and the potential future adverse reactions to the vaccine. Such developments may increase the risk that the pandemic will continue for a prolonged period of time. As such, the extent to which COVID-19 and/or other health pandemics may affect negatively our operating results and financial condition and the operating results and financial condition of some of our portfolio companies, as well as the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption for us, our Adviser and/or our portfolio companies, is uncertain.


38

We will continue to monitor developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health officials and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments beyond our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, we do expect that it willmay continue to have a materialan adverse impact on our future net asset value, net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of some of our portfolio companies, and that such adverse effects willmay persist for the duration of the pandemic and potentially for some time thereafter.

Distributions to Stockholders – Common Stock Distributions

 

We have elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally are not subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on ordinary income or capital gains that we timely distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC and thus avoid corporate-level income tax on the income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders, we are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders each taxable year generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for any dividends paid. To avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed earnings, we are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for such calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and (iii) any income or capital gains recognized, but not distributed, in preceding calendar years and on which we incurred no federal income tax. We intend to make distributions to stockholders on an annual basis of substantially all of our net investment income. Although we intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. In addition, the extent and timing of special dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors and will largely be driven by portfolio specific events and tax considerations.

 

We may fund our cash distributions from any sources of funds available, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and fee waivers from our Adviser. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the proceeds from an offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus the source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We did not declaredeclared and paid distributions of $7,801,905, or pay distributions for$0.200 per share during the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2021. We declared and paid distributions of $8,125,607, or $0.215 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually at the end of our taxable year, based upon our taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, estimates made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

Tender Offers

 

We do not currently intend to list shares of our Common Stock on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a public market for them to develop in the foreseeable future. Therefore, stockholders should not expect to be able to sell their shares of our Common Stock promptly or at a desired price. To provide our stockholders with limited liquidity, we may, in the absolute discretion of our Board of Directors, conduct an annual tender offer. Our tenders for the shares of Common Stock, if any, would be conducted on such terms as may be determined by our Board of Directors and in accordance with the requirements of applicable law, including Section 23(c) of the 1940 Act and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We have not commenced any tender offers, and we do not currently intend to conduct any tender offers in the near future.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This discussion of our operations is based upon our financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

 

Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, we describe our critical accounting policies in the notes to our financial statements.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

We conduct the valuation of our investments, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Our Board of Directors, with the assistance of our Audit Committee, determines the fair value of our investments, for investments with a public market and for investments with no readily available public market, on at least a quarterly basis, in accordance with the terms of ASC 820. Our valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same – to estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

 

45

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

 

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments, even in situations where we hold a large position, and a sale could reasonably be expected to impact the quoted price.

 

Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in markets that are not active, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.


Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The types of financial instruments in this category include investments in privately held entities, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.

 

Pursuant to the framework set forth above, we value securities traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the exchange closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services, brokers or dealers’ quotes, or counterparty marks in order to value liquid assets that are not traded in active markets.

 

Pricing services aggregate, evaluate and report pricing from a variety of sources including observed trades of identical or similar securities, broker or dealer quotes, model-based valuations and internal fundamental analysis and research. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, we use the quote obtained.

 

Securities that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of our Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, are each valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available. These valuation techniques vary by investment but include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. Inputs for these valuation techniques include relative credit information, observed market movement, industry sector information, and other market data, which may include benchmarking of comparable securities, issuer spreads, reported trades, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available. The process used to determine the applicable value is as follows:

 

46

(i) Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment using a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs and updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs. Additionally, as a part of our valuation process, the Adviser may employ the services of one or more independent valuation firms engaged by us;

 

(ii) Preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management and members of the Adviser’s valuation team;

 

(iii) Our Audit Committee reviews the assessments of the Adviser or independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and provides our Board of Directors with recommendations with respect to the fair value of the investments in our portfolio; and

 

(iv) Our Board of Directors discusses the valuation recommendations of our Audit Committee and determines the fair value of the investments in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and in accordance with our valuation policy.


 

Our Audit Committee’s recommendation of fair value is generally based on its assessment of the following factors, as relevant:

 

·the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

 

·call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;

 

·the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;

 

·the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;

 

·prevailing interest rates for like securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;

 

·the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and

 

·comparisons to publicly traded securities.

 

Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available as of the measurement date, which in many cases may reflect up to a one quarter lag in information.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include the following:

 

·private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;

 

·securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;

 

·debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;

 

·securities whose prices are stale; and

 

·securities affected by significant events.

 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of our portfolio investments.

 

47

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our financial statements.

 

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed or, in the case of privately issued securities, the closing date, which is when all terms of the transactions have been defined). Realized gains and losses on investments are determined based on the identified cost method.

 

In addition, on December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which establishes an updated regulatory framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The newadopted rule clarifies how fund boards can satisfy their valuation obligations in light of recent market developments. The rule will permitpermits boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform the fair value determinations. We will continue to review the newadopted rule and its impact on us and our valuation policies.policies and intend to comply with such requirements on or before the SEC’s required compliance date in 2022.

 

Refer to Note 3 — Investments in the notes to our accompanying financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information regarding fair value measurements and our application of ASC 820.

 


Revenue Recognition

 

We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance, we generally will not accrue PIK interest for accounting purposes if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities for accounting purposes if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. OID, market discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

 

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

 

We measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

 

PIK Interest

 

We may have investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. Any PIK interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and is recorded as income if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible. In order to maintain our status as a RIC, substantially all of this income must be included in the amounts paid out by us to stockholders in the form of dividends, even if we have not collected any cash.

 

U.S. Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not have to incur any corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. To qualify and maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements as well as distribute dividends to our stockholders each taxable year of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any distributions paid.

 

48

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a taxable year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next taxable year. We would then incur a 4% excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income may exceed estimated current year distributions, we will accrue an excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. We did not accrue any excise tax for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

 

Because U.S. 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 may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent differences may also result from differences in classification in certain items, such as the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

 


We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our financial statements to determine whether any relevant tax positions would “more-likely-than-not” be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expensed in the current fiscal year. All penalties and interest associated with any income taxes accrued are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax law, regulations and interpretations thereof. Our accounting policy on income taxes is critical because if we are unable to qualify, or once qualified, maintain our tax status as a RIC, we would be required to record a provision for corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes, as well as any related state or local taxes which may be significant to our financial results.

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, we, the Adviser or the Adviser,Administrator may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Neither we, the Adviser nor the AdviserAdministrator is currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

 

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected in our accompanying statements of assets and liabilities. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use cash flow from normal and early principal repayments and proceeds from borrowings and offerings to fund these commitments. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had 1426 investments with unfunded commitments of $4,023,024.$6,981,786. As of December 31, 2020, we had 14 investments with unfunded commitments of $3,676,567. We believe that, as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had sufficient assets to adequately cover any obligations under our unfunded commitments.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. During the period covered by our financial statements, many of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates, and we expect that many of our loans to portfolio companies in the future will also have floating interest rates based on LIBOR or an equivalent risk-free index rate. Interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on our investments, the value of our Common Stock and our rate of return on invested capital. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in value of the securities held by us. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

 

49

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a decrease in LIBOR and a general reduction of certain interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks. A continued decline in interest rates, including LIBOR, could result in a reduction of our gross investment income.

 

Change in interest rates 

Increase (decrease) in

investment income

 
Down 300 basis points  (157,55694,010)
Down 200 basis points  (157,55694,010)
Down 100 basis points  (157,55694,010)
Up 100 basis points  1,852,4161,680,396 
Up 200 basis points  5,560,5625,346,486 
Up 300 basis points  9,268,7089,012,577 

 


Although we believe that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not reflect potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and other business developments that could affect our net increase in net assets resulting from operations or net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from those shown above.

 

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.

 

We may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the period covered by quarterly this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of material information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluation of 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 possible controls and procedures.

 

50

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 


PART II–OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceeding, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.

 

From time to time, we, our Adviser or Administrator may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. 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 financial condition or results of operations.

 

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the risks discussed below, important risk factors that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations are described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2021.

 

Legislation passed in 2018 allows us to incur additional leverage and would require us to offer liquidity to our stockholders.

 

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC generally is required to maintain asset coverage of 200% for senior securities representing indebtedness (such as borrowings from banks or other financial institutions) or stock (such as preferred stock). The SBCAA, which was signed into law on March 23, 2018, provides that a BDC’s required asset coverage under the 1940 Act may be reduced from 200% (i.e., $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) to 150% (i.e., $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity). This reduction in asset coverage permits a BDC to double the amount of leverage it may utilize, subject to certain approval, timing and reporting requirements, including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the arrangement. As a result, if we receive the relevant approval and we comply with the applicable disclosure requirements, we would be able to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing in us. In addition, since our base management fee is payable based upon our average adjusted gross assets, which includes any borrowings for investment purposes, our base management fee expenses may increase if we incur additional leverage.

 

We have not commenced any tender offers, and we do not currently intend to conduct any tender offers. As a non-traded BDC, however, if we receive the relevant approval to increase our authorized leverage, we will be required to offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their Sharesshares of Common Stock over the next year following the calendar quarter in which the approval was obtained. The timing and method for such offers has not been determined at this time.
