1. Organization

 

Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation and is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, GARS has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for the period beginning October 9, 2012 and intends to qualify annually thereafter.

 

Garrison Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, commenced operations on December 17, 2010. On October 9, 2012, Garrison Capital LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). In this Conversion, Garrison Capital Inc. succeeded to the business of Garrison Capital LLC and its subsidiaries, and the members of Garrison Capital LLC became stockholders of GARS. An aggregate of 10,707,221GARS receiving shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, were issued to the former members of Garrison Capital LLC in this Conversion in accordance with their respective pro-rata membership interests in Garrison Capital LLC. As a result of a reverse stock splitReverse Stock Split on February 25, 2013, which resulted in the conversion of one share of common stock into 0.9805106 shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), all amounts related to shares/units, share/unitshares, share prices, earnings per share/per unitshare and distributions per share/unitshare have been retroactively restated for all periods presented. As a result,prior to the 10,707,221 shares of common stock issued in the Conversion have been retroactively restated to 10,498,544.Reverse Stock Split.

 

GARS priced its initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 26, 2013, which closed on April 2, 2013, selling 6,133,334 shares, including 800,000 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. Concurrent with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s directors, officers, employees and an affiliate of Garrison Capital Advisers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investment Adviser”), purchased an additional 126,901 shares through a private placement transaction (the “Concurrent Private Placement”) exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), at a price of $15.00 per share. GARS’ shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or NASDAQ, under the symbol “GARS”.

 

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by making investments generally in the range of $5.0 million to $25.0 million primarily in debt securities and loans of U.S. based middle-market companies, which we define as those having annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of between $5.0 million and $30.0 million. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by assembling a broad portfolio of investments.

 

We invest or provide direct lending primarily in (1) first lien senior secured loans, (2) second lien senior secured loans, (3) “one-stop” senior secured or “unitranche” loans, (4) subordinated or mezzanine loans, (5) unsecured consumer loans and (6) to a lesser extent, selected equity co-investments in middle-market companies. We use the term “one-stop” or “unitranche” to refer to a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans. We use the term “mezzanine” to refer to a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior in right of payment to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness.

 

The Company’s business and affairs are managed and controlled by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), of which a majority of the members are independent of the Company and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

 

On April 19, 2012, GARS formed Garrison Funding 2012-1 Manager LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GF 2012-1 Manager”). This entity is a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of GARS created for the purpose of acquiring and holding an investment in Garrison Funding 2012-1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GF 2012-1”). GARS formed GF 2012-1 for the purpose of acquiring or participating in U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured or second lien corporate loans and to acquire up to $150.0 million in financing. On September 23, 2013, in anticipation of refinancing the credit facility of GF 2012-1, GF 2012-1 Manager effectuated a name change to Garrison Funding 2013-2 Manager LLC (“GF 2013-2 Manager”).

On July 7, 2014, Forest Park II LLC was formed for the purpose of holding first lien equipment loans. Forest Park II LLC is 100% owned by GARS.

 

GARS will periodically form limited liability companies for the purpose of holding minority equity investments (the “GARS Equity Holdings Entities”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Updates  – (continued)

The GARS Equity Holdings Entities, Walnut Hill II LLC, Forest Park II LLC, Garrison SBIC and GLC Trust 2013-2 are 100% owned investment companies for accounting purposes.

As a result of this consolidation, indebtedness of Garrison SBIC and the amounts outstanding under the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes are treated as the Company’s indebtedness.

 

Investment Classification

 

As required by the 1940 Act, investments are classified by level of control. “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that the Company is deemed to control as defined in the 1940 Act. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are affiliated companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.

 

Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to control a company in which it has invested if it owns more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. The Company is deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which it has invested if it owns 5% or more of the voting securities of such company.

As of both September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, all of the Company’s investments were Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including the estimated fair values of investments and the amount of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, cash held in designated bank accounts with GARS’the Custodian was $26.7$22.4 million and $7.6$23.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, cash held in designated bank accounts with other major financial institutions was $3.9$1.2 million and $6.1$1.6 million, respectively. At times, these balances may exceed federally insured limits and this potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its cash custodian.

 

The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less, including those held in overnight sweep bank deposit accounts. As of both September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the Company held no cash equivalents.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted

 

Restricted cash as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 included cash of $5.3$10.6 million and $12.6$10.4 million, respectively, held by GF 2013-2 in designated bank accounts with itsthe Custodian. GF 2013-2 is required to use a portion of these amounts to pay interest expense, reduce borrowings at the end of the investment period and to pay other amounts in accordance with the terms of the indenture of the CLO. Funds held by GF 2013-2 are not available for general use by the Company. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 also included cash of $1.5$1.3 million and $1.7$1.4 million, respectively, held by GLC Trust 2013-2 in designated restricted bank accounts.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense

 

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when management has determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. These transactions could possibly settle on a subsequent date depending on the transaction type. All related revenue and expenses attributable to these transactions are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations commencing on the trade date unless otherwise specified by the transaction documents. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.

 

The Company accrues interest income if it expects that ultimately it will be able to collect such income. Generally, when a payment default occurs on a loan in the portfolio, or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments, the Investment Adviser will place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company remains contractually entitled to this interest.

 

The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. For consumer loans, any loan thatwhich is 120 days past due is considered defaulted and 100% of the principal is charged off with no expected recovery or sale of defaulted receivables.

The Company recognized $0.8$0.4 million and $2.1$0.8 million in charge offs ofin realized losses from investments for consumer loans held by GLC Trust 2013-2 in realized losses from investments for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million in charge offs of consumer loans held by GLC Trust 2013-2 in realized losses fromhad four investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company had two investments placed on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015both March 31, 2016 and one investment placed on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2014.2015.

 

Any original issue discounts, as well as any other purchase discounts or premiums on debt investments, are accreted or amortized and included in interest income over the maturity periods of the investments. If a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company will cease recognizing amortization of original issue discount and purchase discount until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the income is deemed to be collectible.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis and is adjusted for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and any original issue discount.

Expenses

 

Expenses related to, but not limited to, ratings fees, due diligence, valuation expenses and independent collateral appraisals may arise when the Company makes certain investments. These expenses are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations within other expenses.

Origination fees received by the Company are initially deferred and reduced from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accreted into interest income over the remaining stated term of the loan.

 

Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when we receive such amounts. Facility fees, sometimes referred to as asset management fees, are accrued as a percentage periodic fee on the base amount (either the funded facility amount or the committed principal amount). Commitment fees are based upon the undrawn portion committed by the Company and are accrued over the life of the loan.

 

Amendment and forbearance fees are paid in connection with loan amendments and waivers and are recognized upon completion of the amendments or waivers, generally when such fees are receivable. Any such fees are recorded and classified as other income and included in investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. As these fees are paid and recognized in connection with specific loan amendments or forbearance, they are typically non-recurring in nature.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly FASB Statement No. 157, “ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

 

ASC 820’s definition of fair value focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs within a measurement of fair value.

 

The Company’s portfolio consists of primarily debt investments and unsecured consumer loans. The fair value of the Company’s investments is initially determined by investment professionals of the Investment Adviser and ultimately determined by the Board on a quarterly basis. In valuing the Company’s debt investments, the Investment Adviser generally uses various approaches, including proprietary models that consider the analyses of independent valuation agents as well as credit risk, liquidity, market credit spreads, other applicable factors for similar transactions, bid quotations obtained from other financial institutions that trade in similar investments or based on bid prices provided by independent third-partythird party pricing services.

 

The types of factors that the Board may take into account when reviewing the fair value initially derived by the Investment Adviser and determining the fair value of the Company’s debt investments generally include, as appropriate, comparison to publicly traded securities, including such factors as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors.

 

In valuing the Company’s unsecured consumer loans, the Investment Adviser generally uses a discounted cash flow methodology based upon a set of assumptions. The primary assumptions used to value the unsecured consumer loans include prepayment and default rates derived from historical performance, actual performance as compared to historical projections and discount rate.

The types of factors that the Board may take into account when reviewing the fair value initially derived by the Investment Adviser and determining the fair value of the Company’s consumer loan investments generally include, as appropriate, prepayment and default rates derived from historical performance, actual performance as compared to historical projections and discount rates.

 

The Board has retained several independent valuation firms to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once during each 12-month period. To the extent a security is reviewed in a particular quarter, it is reviewed and valued by only one service provider.

 

However, the Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 0.5% of the Company’s total assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of the Company’s total assets) independently reviewed.

 

The Board is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s assets in good faith using a documented valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process.

Due to the nature of the Company’s strategy, the Company’s portfolio is primarily comprised of relatively illiquid investments that are privately held. Inputs into the determination of fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments require significant management judgment or estimation. This means that the Company’s portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain and they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value by the Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed.

 

The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a portion of the Company’s valuations of portfolio companies without market quotations subject to review by the independent valuation firms each quarter. When an external event with respect to one of the Company’s portfolio companies, such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we expect to use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board will undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

The Company’s valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for credit monitoring.

 

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and the Investment Adviser.

 

The valuation committee of the Board reviews these preliminary valuations.

 

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available quotation is reviewed by an independent valuation firm, subject to the de minimis exception described above.

 

The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith.

 

Net assets could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the investments were materially higher or lower than the values that are ultimately realized upon the disposal of such investments.

Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work completed in preparation of equity or debt offerings and are charged against proceeds from the offerings when received. As of September 30, 2015both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, $0.5 million and $0.3 million of expenses associated with the shelf registration statement initially filed with the SEC on April 3, 2014 (“Registration Statement”), were deferred and included in deferred offering costs, respectively.costs. These amounts will be charged against proceeds from future offerings of securities when received.

 

Share Repurchase

Share repurchase transactions are recorded on a trade date basis, which is the date when management has determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. The aggregate cost of common stock repurchased, including any direct transaction costs, is recorded as a reduction of the par and paid-in-capital in excess of par value accounts, respectively.

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and we declare,declares a cash dividend or other distribution, then our stockholders who have not ‘opted out’ of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, which may be newly issued shares or shares acquired by AST through open-market purchases, rather than receiving the cash distribution. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, no new shares have been issued to fulfill the dividend reinvestment plan.

 

No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have its cash dividend or other distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying AST in writing so that such notice is received by AST no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. AST will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends or other distributions in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the plan, received in writing not less than 10 days prior to the record date, AST will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares of our common stock and a check for any fractional share.

 

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends and other distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

 

Income Taxes

 

As discussed in Note 1, for tax purposes, GARS has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and intends to qualify each taxable year for such treatment. In addition, GF 2013-2, GF 2013-2 Manager, the GARS Equity Holdings Entities, Walnut Hill II LLC and Forest Park II LLC are disregarded entities for tax purposes. GLC Trust 2013-2 is a grantor trust for U.S. taxable income purposes, whereby the income reverts to GARS, accordingly, no provision for federal income tax was made in the consolidated financial statements for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2014.2015.

 

Each taxable year, GARS intends to comply with all RIC qualification provisions contained in the Code including certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as well as distribution requirements to our stockholders equal to at least 90% of “investment company taxable income”. “Investment company taxable income” is generally defined as net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. As a RIC, GARS generally does not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes to its stockholders in a timely manner.

However, GARS is subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate tax rates on any net ordinary income or net capital gain not distributed to its stockholders assuming at least 90% of its investment company taxable income is distributed timely.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions, and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company would then pay a 4% excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

 

NoFor the three months ended March 31, 2016 there was $50,000 of U.S. federal excise tax expense was recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015.recorded. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.1 millionMarch 31, 2015, there was $45,000 of U.S. federal excise tax wasexpense recorded.

In addition, GARS has certain wholly owned taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), each of which holds a portion of one or more of our portfolio investments that are listed on the consolidated schedule of investments. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, so that our consolidated financial statements reflect our investments in the portfolio companies owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Taxable Subsidiaries is, among other things, to permit GARS to hold certain interests in portfolio companies that are organized as limited liability companies (“LLCs”) (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90.0% of the RIC’s gross income for federal income tax purposes must consist of qualifying investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries, a proportionate amount of any gross income of an LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to the RIC. To the extent that such income did not consist of investment income, it could jeopardize GARS’GARS ability to qualify as a RIC and therefore cause GARS to incur significant amounts of corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes. Where interests in LLCs (or other pass-through entities) are owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries, however, the income from such interests is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiaries and does not flow through to the RIC, thereby helping GARS preserve its RIC status and resultant tax advantages. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies.

 

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those differences could be material. These book-to-tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Reclassifications due to permanent differences have no impact on net assets. The below were reclassifications made due to permanent differences for the tax year ended December 31, 2014:2015:

The permanent book-to-tax differences arose primarily due to the tax classification of dividend distributions, tax basis differences on realized investments, tax characterization of certain short-term capitalrealized losses and the accrual of nondeductible U.S. federal excise taxes.tax.

 

Taxable income differs from the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to the exclusion of unrealized gain (loss) on investments from taxable income until they are realized, book-to-tax temporary differences related to the deductibility of accrued Incentive Fees payable to the Investment Adviser attributable to unrealized gain (loss) on investments, book-to-tax temporary differences on taxable income inclusions of investment income earned on certain securities that was accrued for tax but not for U.S. GAAP, and book-to-tax temporary differences related to net capital loss carryforwards and utilization of net capital gain loss carryforwards from prior years.

The Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that could negatively impact the Company’s net assets.

 

U.S. GAAP provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities.

 

The Company has concluded that it was not necessary to record a liability for any such tax positions as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014.2015. However, the Company’s conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including ongoing analyses of, and changes to, tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

3. Investments  – (continued)

Certain of the risks of investing in the financial instruments of a distressed borrower or a company experiencing various forms of financial, operational, legal, and/or other distress or impairment, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization or liquidation proceedings, and those which might become involved in such proceedings, are discussed herein. Through investing in these assets, the Company is exposed to credit risk relating to whether the borrower will meet its obligation to pay when it comes due until the investments are sold or mature. Any investment in a distressed company may involve special risks.

The Company may invest in assets for which the underlying borrower or companies are experiencing various forms of financial, operational, legal, and/or other distress or impairment, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization or liquidation proceedings, and those which might become involved in such proceedings.

 

The Company’s transactions in Debt Investments are normally secured financings that are collateralized by physical assets and/or the enterprise value of the borrower. This collateral, and the Company’s rights to this collateral, are different depending on the specific transaction and are defined by the legal documents agreed to in the transaction.

 

The terms of the Debt Investments may provide for the extensionCompany to extend to a borrower of additional credit or provide funding for any unfunded portion of such Debt Investments at the request of the borrower, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement.borrower. This exposes the Company to potential liabilities that are not reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the Company had $9.8$6.4 million and $18.2$6.9 million of unfunded obligationscommitments with a fair value of $(0.1) million and $(0.3)$(0.1) million, respectively. The negative fair value is the result of the unfunded commitmentcommitments being valued below par. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future.

 

There is no central clearinghouse for the Company’s Debt Investments, Equity or Financial Assets, nor is there a central depository for custody of any such interests. The processes by which these interests are cleared, settled and held in custody are individually negotiated between the parties to the transaction. This subjects the Company to operational risk to the extent that there are delays and failures in these processes. The Custodian maintains records of the investments owned by the Company.

 

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximate the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

 

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is 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.

 

Further, the guidance distinguishes between inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). Various inputs are used in determining the values of the Company’s investments and these inputs are categorized as of each valuation date.

 

The inputs are summarized in three broad hierarchieslevels listed below:

 

Level 1 — quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair values of investments or indicative bid prices from unaffiliated market makers or independent third party pricing services).

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments  – (continued)

 

Fair value of publicly traded instruments is generally based on quoted market prices. Fair value of non-publicly traded instruments, and of publicly traded instruments for which quoted market prices are not readily available, may be determined based on other relevant factors, including bid quotations from unaffiliated market makers or independent third-party pricing services, the price activity of comparable instruments and valuation pricing models.

 

For those investments valued using quotations, the bid price is generally used, unless the Company determines that it is not representative of an exit price. To the extent observable market data is available, such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes. Due to the fact that the significant inputs used by the contributors of the consensus pricing source or the broker are unobservable and evidence with respect to trading levels is not available, any investments valued using indicative bid prices from unaffiliated market makers and independent third-party pricing services have been classified within Level 3.

 

Investments classified as Level 3 may be fair valued using the income and market approaches, using a market yield valuation methodology or enterprise value methodology.

 

Factors that could affect fair value measurements of debt investments using the above referenced approaches include assumed growth rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, loan-to-value ratios, liquidation value, relative capital structure priority, market comparables, compliance with applicable loan, covenant and interest coverage performance, book value, market derived multiples, reserve valuation, assessment of credit ratings of an underlying borrower, review of ongoing performance, review of financial projections as compared to actual performance, review of interest rate and yield risk.

 

Factors that could affect fair value measurements of consumer loans using the above referenced approaches include prepayment rates, default rates, review of financial projections as compared to actual performance and discount rates.

 

Such factors may be given different weighting depending on management’s assessment of the underlying investment, and management may analyze apparently comparable investments in different ways. The Company has used, and intends to continue to use, independent valuation firms to provide additional corroboration for estimating the fair values of investments. Valuations performed by the independent valuation firms may utilize proprietary models and inputs. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

All of the Company’s investments (other than cash and cash equivalents) are classified as Level 3 under ASC 820.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments  – (continued)

 

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Debt Investments include indicative bid quotations obtained from independent third party pricing services (“consensus pricing”), multiples of market comparable companies, and relative comparable yields.

 

Significant decreases (increases) in consensus pricing or market comparables could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. Significant increases (decreases) in comparable yields could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for relative comparable yields is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for pricing.

 

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Equity Investments include market comparables. Significant decreases (increases) in market comparables could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements.

 

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’sCompany Financial Assets include interest rate, prepayment rate, unit loss rate, default rate multiplier and discount rate.

 

Significant decreases (increases) in interest rates or prepayment rates could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. Significant increases (decreases) in unit loss rates, default rate multiplier or discount rates could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements.

 

The composition of the Company’s portfolio by industry at cost and fair value as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was as follows:

The ability of GF 2013-2 to draw under the Class A-1R Notes terminates on September 25, 2016, which is also the end of the extended reinvestment period. The Secured Notes are secured by all of the assets held by GF 2013-2.

 

The indenture governing the notes issued as part of the CLO provides that, to the extent cash is available from cash collections, the holders of the GF 2013-2 Notes are to receive quarterly interest payments on the 20th day or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day of February, May, August and November of each year until the stated maturity.

 

Under the documents governing the CLO, there are two coverage tests applicable to the Secured Notes. The first test compares the amount of interest received on the collateral loans held by GF 2013-2 to the amount of interest payable on the Secured Notes under the CLO in respect of the amounts drawn and certain expenses. To meet this first test, at any time, the aggregate amount of interest received on the collateral loans must equal, after the payment of certain fees and expenses, at least 135.0% of the aggregate amount of interest payable on the Class A Notes, 125.0% of the interest payable on the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, taken together, and 115% of the interest payable on the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, taken together.

 

The second test compares the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans, as calculated in accordance with the indenture, to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Secured Notes in respect of the amounts drawn. To meet this second test at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans must equal at least 173.4% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes, 156.1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, taken together, and 148.1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, taken together.

 

If the coverage tests are not satisfied with respect to a quarterly payment date, GF 2013-2 will be required to apply available amounts to the repayment of interest on and principal of the GF 2013-2 Notes to the extent necessary to satisfy the applicable coverage tests and, as a result, there may be reduced funds available for GF 2013-2 to make additional investments or to make distributions on the Company’s equity interests in GF 2013-2. Additionally, compliance is measured on each day collateral loans are purchased, originated or sold and in connection with monthly reporting to the note holder.holders.

 

Furthermore, if under the second coverage test the aggregate principal amount of the collateral loans equals 125.0% or less of the aggregate outstanding principal amount on the Class A-1A-1T Notes and Class A-1R Notes, taken together, and remains so for ten business days, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the trustee for the CLO has asserted that all of the coverage tests were met.

GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes

 

GLC Trust 2013-2 entered into a $10.0 million revolving facility with Capital One Bank, NA on December 6, 2013. The revolving facility included an accordion feature, such that GLC Trust 2013-2 was permitted to increase the total commitment up to $15.0 million under the terms of the loan agreement. GLC Trust 2013-2 exercised this option on December 20, 2013.

 

On July 11, 2014, GARS increased the GLC Trust 2013-2 Revolver commitment by $15.0 million, for a total commitment of $30.0 million. On July 18, 2014, GARS completed a $39.2 million term debt securitization collateralized by the GLC Trust 2013-2 consumer loan portfolio (“GLC Trust 2013-2 Securitization”).

 

The notes offered in the GLC Trust 2013-2 Securitization were issued by GLC Trust 2013-2 and consisted of $36.9 million of Class A Notes (“GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A Notes”) and $2.3 million of Class B Notes (“GLC Trust 2013-2 Class B Notes”, and collectively with the GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A Notes, the “GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes”). As of DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2016, GARS has retained all of the Class B Notes, which are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The GLC Trust 2013-2 Class A Notes bear interest at 3.00% per annum and are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2021. The proceeds of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes were used to refinance the GLC Trust 2013-2 Revolver, which was fully paid down and terminated concurrent with the issuance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes.

 

The fair value of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes approximated the carrying value on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively.

 

The indenture governing the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes provides that, to the extent cash is available from cash collections, the holders of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes are to receive monthly interest and principal payments on the 15th day or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, commencing in August 2014, until the stated maturity.

 

Under the indenture governing the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes, there are two applicable monthly tests. The first test compares the principal balance of the underlying loans to the principal balance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes. To meet this first test, the aggregate principal balance of the underlying loans less the aggregate principal balance of the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes must equal, at least, the greater of (1) 13%13.00% of the aggregate principal balance of the underlying loans as of the end of the prior month and (2) 5.25% of the loan pool balance as of July 11, 2014.

The second test compares the ratio of the dollar amount of cumulative defaults to the original principal balance of the underlying loans as of July 11, 2014 (“Cumulative Default Ratio”) to the Cumulative Default Ratio trigger level, as stated in the indenture. To meet this second test, the Cumulative Default Ratio must not exceed the Cumulative Default Ratio trigger level.

 

If these tests are not satisfied with respect to a monthly payment date and are not cured within 45 days, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred and the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes will become immediately due and payable, in accordance with the terms of the indenture. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, all of the coverage tests were met.

Management fees of $1.8 million were payable as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and are included in management fee payable on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

 

Incentive Fee Overview

 

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to an incentive fee consisting of two components and a cap and deferral mechanism. The two components are independent of each other, and may result in one component being payable even if the other is not.

 

The first component, which is income-based and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20% of the amount, if any, that the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds a 2.00% quarterly (8.00% annualized) hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured at the end of each calendar quarter. 

 

The operation of the first component of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:

 

no incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate;

 

100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized). We refer to this portion of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.50%) as the “catch-up”. The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, if the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter, the Investment Adviser will receive 20% of such pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the Hurdle Rate did not apply; and

 

20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized) (once the Hurdle Rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved).

 

The portion of such incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Investment Adviser, together with any other interest accrued on the loan from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent the Company actually receives such interest in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such amounts would reduce net income for the quarter by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of incentive fees payable) and would result in a reduction and possible elimination of the incentive fees for such quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, no incentive fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser on amounts accrued and not paid in respect of deferred interest.

 

The second component, which is capital gains-based, 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 20% of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains through the end of such year, computed net of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital loss through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees and subject to the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism described below. The capital-gains component of the incentive fee excludes any portion of realized gains (losses) that are associated with the reversal of any portion of unrealized gain/(loss) attributable to periods prior to April 1, 2013. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders.

Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to accrue a capital gains incentive fee based upon the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital gain and loss on investments held at the end of each period. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company will record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains related incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. 

 

The Investment Advisory Agreement does not permit unrealized capital gains for purposes of calculating the amount payable to the Investment Adviser. Amounts due related to unrealized capital gains, if any, will not be paid to the Investment Adviser until realized under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement (as described above).

 

Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism

 

We have structured the calculation of these incentive fees to include a fee limitation such that no incentive fee will be paid to our Investment Adviser for any fiscal quarter if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to our Investment Adviser for the period that includes such fiscal quarter and the 11 full preceding fiscal quarters (the “Incentive Fee Look-back Period”), would exceed 20.0% of our cumulative pre-incentive fee net return during the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period. The Incentive Fee Look-back Period commenced on April 1, 2013. Prior to April 1, 2016, the Incentive Fee Look-back Period will consistconsisted of fewer than 12 full fiscal quarters.

 

The following table provides a breakdown of our management and incentive fees for the Threethree months ended March 31, 2016 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:March 31, 2015:

Capital Gains-Based Incentive Fee included the reversal of $(0.8) million and $(1.6) million of incentive fees on unrealized capital gains/(losses) as calculated under U.S. GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Capital Gains-Based Incentive Fee included $(0.3)March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser had calculated an aggregate of $14.4 million and $1.4(net of $0.3 million waiver) of income-based incentive fees onsince the Company’s IPO, of which $10.6 million had been paid as of March 31, 2016. Due to aggregate cumulative realized and unrealized capital gains/(losses)gains and losses, as calculated under U.S. GAAP, experienced through March 31, 2016, our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return decreased. As a result, as of March 31, 2016, aggregate incentive fees payable to the Investment Adviser since the Company’s IPO were capped by the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism at $8.4 million (i.e., 20% of our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return since completion of the IPO).

Due to the fact that there is no clawback of amounts previously paid to the Investment Adviser in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company has not recorded a receivable for the $2.2 million difference between amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement in prior quarters and the Incentive Fee Cap based on the Company’s Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return as of March 31, 2016.

The $2.2 million difference may be used to reduce future amounts earned by the Investment Adviser. However, as noted above, no incentive fee will be paid to the Investment Adviser for any fiscal quarter if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to our Investment Adviser for the Incentive Fee Look-back Period would exceed 20% of our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period. To the extent unrealized capital losses incurred as of March 31, 2016 are reversed within the applicable Incentive Fee Look-back Period, the corresponding increase in our Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return may result in the Investment Adviser earning and being paid up to $4.1 million of income based incentive fees which are currently subject to the Incentive Fee Cap.

As of March 31, 2016, the Incentive Fee Look-back Period is in effect through December 31, 2018 and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses and pre-incentive net investment income earned through March 31, 2016 will cease to impact the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral after this date.

The Investment Adviser did not earn any aggregate incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014,March 31, 2016. The Investment Adviser earned aggregate incentive fees of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. No incentive fees were payable on the consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Management fees in the amount of $2.0 million and $0.3 million were payable as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in management fee payable on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Based on our actual cumulative pre-incentive fee net return as of September 30, 2015, incentive fees earned by our Investment Advisor were capped, which resulted in the reversal of $(0.1) million of aggregate incentive fees for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Had the company met or exceeded the 20% cumulative pre-incentive fee net return the Investment Advisor would have earned $1.6 million on the income portion of its incentive fee for the three months ended September 30, 2015. These amounts may be earned and payable in future periods based on the future performance of the fund, subject to the Incentive Fee Look-back Period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Investment Adviser earned $1.6 million of incentive fees in the aggregate.

Overview

 

We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and intend to qualify annually for such treatment. Our shares are currently listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “GARS”.

 

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by making investments generally in the range of $5.0 million to $25.0 million primarily in debt securities and loans of U.S. based middle-market companies, which we define as those having annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of between $5.0 million and $30.0 million. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by assembling a broad portfolio of investments.

 

We invest primarily in (1) first lien senior secured loans, (2) second lien senior secured loans, (3) “one-stop” senior secured or “unitranche” loans, (4) subordinated or mezzanine loans, (5) unsecured consumer loans and (6) to a lesser extent, selected equity co-investments in middle-market companies. We use the term “one-stop” or “unitranche” to refer to a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans. We use the term “mezzanine” to refer to a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior in right of payment to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness.

 

We believe that the middle market offers attractive risk-adjusted returns for debt investors. Historically, we believe there has been a persistent scarcity of available capital relative to demand, which, from a lender’s perspective, has generally resulted in more favorable transaction structures, including enhanced covenant protection and increased pricing of debt securities relative to larger companies. We further believe that the turmoil in the markets has exacerbated this scarcity of capital, as many traditional lenders to middle-market companies have exited the business or focused their attention on larger borrowers. In addition, we believe that middle-market companies traditionally have exhibited lower default rates and improved recoveries compared to larger borrowers and typically offer greater access to key senior managers, which we believe further enhances the attractiveness of lending to this market segment and facilitates due diligence investigations and regular monitoring.

 

Our investment activities are managed by our Investment Adviser. Our fivesix member investment committee is comprised of Joseph Tansey, Rafael Astruc, Brian Chase, Mitch Drucker, Susan George, Robert Chimenti and Susan George.Joshua Brandt. Our Investment Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on prospective investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, with the Investment Adviser, we pay the Investment Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. Garrison Capital Administrator LLC, or the Administrator, provides certain administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate, including office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record-keeping services, pursuant to an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement. The Administrator oversees our financial reporting and prepares our reports to stockholders and reports required to be filed with the SEC.

 

The Administrator also manages the determination and publication of our net asset value and the preparation and filing of our tax returns and generally monitors the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. The Administrator may retain third parties to assist in providing administrative services to us. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, we pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without any profit to the Administrator.

 

As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we held investments in 5265 portfolio companies with a fair value of $407.8$405.6 million, including investments in 3747 portfolio companies held through the collateralized loan obligation, or the CLO. The investments held by the CLO as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 consisted of senior secured loans fair valued at $299.5$299.3 million and related indebtedness of $169.3$200.3 million. The loans held by the CLO (held at fair value), together with cash and other assets held by the CLO, equaled approximately $311.4$328.0 million as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our portfolio had an average investment size of approximately $7.8$6.2 million, a weighted average yield on debt investments of 10.9%11.2% and a weighted average contractual maturity of 4435 months. Weighted average yield is calculated based on the fair value of the investments and interest expected to be received using the current rate of interest at the balance sheet date to maturity, excluding the effects of future scheduled principal amortizations.

 

4948
 

As of December 31, 2014,2015, we held investments in 5767 portfolio companies with a fair value of $467.8$415.0 million, including investments in 4750 portfolio companies held through the CLO. The investments held by the CLO as of December 31, 20142015 consisted of senior secured loans fair valued at $339.4$306.6 million and related indebtedness of $209.7$194.8 million. As of that date, the loans held by the CLO (held at fair value), together with cash and other assets held by the CLO, equaled approximately $357.8$323.5 million. As of December 31, 2014,2015, our portfolio had an average investment size of approximately $6.8$6.2 million, a weighted average yield on debt investments of 10.5%10.8% and a weighted average contractual maturity of 4644 months.

 

Revenues

 

We generate revenue in the form of interest earned on the debt investments that we hold as well asand capital gains and distributions, if any, on the warrants or other equity interests that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, unitranche or mezzanine loans, typically have a term of one to sevensix years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest is generally payable monthlyquarterly or quarterly,semiannually, with the amortization of principal generally being deferred for several years from the date of the initial investment. In some cases, loans may have a payment-in-kind, or PIK feature. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendmentstructuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and forbearancepossibly consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are recorded as a reduction of par value, and we then accrete such amounts into interest income. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as investmentinterest income when we receive such amounts. We recognize amendment and forbearance fees upon completion of the amendments or waivers, generally when such fees are receivable.

 

Expenses

 

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of (1) the base management fee and incentive fee to the Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (2) the allocable portion of overhead to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement; (3) the interest expense on our outstanding debt, if any; and (4) our other operating costs, as detailed below. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

Incentive fees, interest expenses and costs relating to future offerings of securities would be additive to the expenses described above.

 

Recent Developments

 

On October 5, 2015, we adopted a share repurchase plan that provides forMay 2repurchase of up to $10.0 million of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share as reported in our most recent financial statements.Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. Any repurchases by us will comply with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Unless extended by, 2016, our board of directors, or the Board, the repurchase program will terminate on the earlier of October 5, 2016 or the repurchase of $10.0 million of our common stock. The company's Board may amend this program, solely in its discretion, at any time prior to its termination.

On November 2, 2015, the Board, approved a distribution in the amount of $5.9$5.7 million, or $0.35 a share, which will be paid on December 28, 2015June 24, 2016 to stockholders of record as of December 11, 2015.June 10, 2016.

 

Since September 30, 2015, the Company closed additional investments totaling $16.5 million of par value across seven new portfolio investments.

Market Trends

 

Market TrendsOverall loan volume in the lower middle-market decreased in Q1 2016 due primarily to a reduction in new sponsor financings. Capital markets volatility in the beginning of the quarter was a factor in the decline of sponsor volume as there was purchase price dislocation between buyers and sellers in the mergers and acquisitions market.

 

We believe that capital remains limited in the lower middle-market as many traditional lenders to these companies have exited the business due to continued regulatory restrictions, bank consolidation dynamics and funding constraints of BDCs.

We continue to believe that opportunities in the lower middle-market exist as many competitors have moved up-market to focus their attention on larger borrowers. Sponsor and club business volume, while recently soft, continues to represent the majority of direct lending opportunities in the lower middle-market, although we have seen banks, other non-bank finance companies and funds participate in select one-off financings. However, capital markets volatility negatively affected demand for capital over the last few months and sponsor business has decreased.middle-market. Lower middle-market opportunities continued to command better pricing and structures than in the broadly syndicated market and upper middle-market.

 

We believe that our expertise in providing non-traditional financing solutions to the lower middle-market allows us to tailor loan structures that meet borrower objectives while commanding premium pricing and maximizing the preservation of capital although increased competition could result in further spread compression.capital.

Ongoing Monitoring

 

We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part of the investment process. Our Investment Adviser monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if it is meeting it’sits respective business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company.

 

Our Investment Adviser uses several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

 

assessment of success in adhering to portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

periodic and regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the portfolio company’s financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

comparisons to other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

attendance at and participation in board meetings; and

review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies.

 

Our Investment Adviser assigns an internal rating for each of our portfolio companies. The rating scale is a numeric scale of 1 to 4 based on the credit attributes and prospects of the portfolio company’s business. In general, we use the ratings as follows:

 

a rating of 1 denotes a high quality investment with no loss of principal expected;

a rating of 2 denotes a moderate to high quality investment with no loss of principal expected;

a rating of 3 denotes a moderate quality investment with market rates of expected loss of principal and potential non-compliance with financial covenants; and

a rating of 4 denotes a low quality investment with an expected loss of principal. In the case of risk grade 4 loans, our Investment Adviser will assign a recovery value to the loan.

 

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 4 investment performance ratingrisk scale at fair value, excluding our interest in GLC Trust 2013-2 unfunded revolvers and equity investments as of as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014:2015:

Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a significant effect on our results of operations in any of the reporting periods presented in our financial statements. However, from time to time, inflation may impact the operating results of our portfolio companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, we had $9.8$6.4 million and $18.2$6.9 million of outstanding commitments to fund such investments, respectively.

 

Contractual Obligations

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser provides us with investment advisory and management services. We have agreed to pay for these services (1) a base management fee equal to a percentage of the average adjusted value of our gross assets and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.

 

We entered into the Administration Agreement on October 9, 2012 with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services and provides us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations.

 

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

 

Both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days’ written notice to the other.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAPgenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires 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. We have identified the following as critical accounting policies.

 

5857
 

Basis for Consolidation

 

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, codified in Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, or ASC Topic 946, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. We generally consolidate any investment company when we own 100% of its partners’ or members’ capital or equity units. ASC Topic 946 also provides an exception tofor the aforementioned if the investment company has an investment inconsolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to the investment company.company or its consolidated subsidiaries. GF 2013-2 Manager owns a 100% equity interest in GF 2013-2,the CLO, which is an investment company for accounting purposes, and also provides collateral management services solely to GF 2013-2.the CLO. As such, we have consolidated the accounts of these entities into our financial statements. Our blocker subsidiaries, Walnut Hill II LLC, Forest Park II LLC, and GLC Trust 2013-2 and Garrison SBIC are 100% owned investment companies for accounting purposes.companies. As such, we have consolidated the accounts of these entities into our financial statements. As a result of this consolidation, the amountsamount outstanding under the CLO and the GLC Trust 2013-2 Notes are treated as our indebtedness.

 

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

 

We value our investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly FASB Statement No. 157), or ASC Topic 820. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. ASC Topic 820’s definition of fair value focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs within a measurement of fair value. ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

 

 Level 1  — quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

 Level 2  — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments, credit risk, etc.).

 Level 3  — significant unobservable inputs (including the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair values of investments).

 

The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a portion of our valuations of portfolio companies without market quotations subject to review by the independent valuation firms each quarter.

 

Our portfolio consists of primarily debt investments and unsecured consumer loans. The fair value of our investments is initially determined by investment professionals of theour Investment Adviser and ultimately determined by the Board on a quarterly basis.

 

In valuing our debt investments, the Investment Adviser generally uses various approaches, including proprietary models that consider the analyses of independent valuation agents as well as credit risk, liquidity, market credit spreads, other applicable factors for similar transactions, bid quotations obtained from other financial institutions that trade in similar investments or based on bid prices provided by independent third party pricing services.

 

The types of factors that the Board may take into account when reviewing the fair value initially derived by the Investment Adviser and determining the fair value of the our debt investments generally include, as appropriate, comparison to publicly traded securities, including such factors as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors.

 

In valuing our unsecured consumer loans, the Investment Adviser generally uses a discounted cash flow methodology based upon a set of assumptions. The primary assumptions used to value the unsecured consumer loans include prepayment and default rates derived from historical performance, actual performance as compared to historical projections and discount rate.

The types of factors that the Board may take into account when reviewing the fair value initially derived by the Investment Adviser and determining the fair value of the our consumer loan investments generally include, as appropriate, prepayment and default rates derived from historical performance, actual performance as compared to historical projections and discount rates.

 

Our Board has retained several independent valuation firms to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once during each 12-month period. To the extent a security is reviewed in a particular quarter, it is reviewed and valued by only one service provider. However, our Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 0.5% of our total assets (up to an aggregate of 10% of our total assets) independently reviewed. Our Board is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of our assets using a documented valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process.

 

Due to the nature of our strategy, our portfolio includes relatively illiquid investments that are privately held. Inputs into the determination of fair value of our portfolio investments require significant management judgment or estimation. This means that our portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain and they may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value by our Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. Our net asset value could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher or lower than the values that we ultimately realized upon the disposal of such investments.

 

The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a portion of our valuations of portfolio companies without market quotations subject to review by the independent valuation firms each quarter. When an external event with respect to one of our portfolio companies, such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale, occurs, we expect to use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board will undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by investment professionals of our Investment Adviser responsible for credit monitoring.

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and our Investment Adviser.

The valuation committee of the Board reviews these preliminary valuations.

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment that does not have a readily available quotation is reviewed by an independent valuation firm, subject to the de minimis exception above.

The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.

 

Net assets could be materially affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the investments were materially higher or lower than the values that are ultimately realized upon the disposal of such investments.

 

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense

 

We record our investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when management haswe have determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. These transactions could possibly settle on a subsequent date depending on the transaction type.

60

All related revenue and expenses attributable to these transactions are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations commencing on the trade date unless otherwise specified by the transaction documents. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.

 

59

We accrue interest income if we expect that ultimately we will be able to collect such income.it. Generally, when a paymentan interest default occurs on a loan in theour portfolio, or if our management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments,service the Investment Adviserloan and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and we will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, we remain contractually entitled to this interest.

We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. For consumer loans, any loan which is 120 days past due is considered defaulted and 100% of the principal is charged off with no expected recovery or sale of defaulted receivables. We had twofour investments placed on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015both March 31, 2016 and one investment placed on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2014.2015.

 

Any original issue discounts, as well as any other purchase discounts or premiums on debt investments, are accreted or amortized and included in interest income over the maturity periods of the investments. If a loan is placed on non-accrual status, we will cease recognizing amortization of original issue discount and purchase discount until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the income is deemed to be collectible.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis and is adjusted for amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and any original issue discount.costs.

 

Other Expenses

 

Certain expenses related to, but not limited to, rating fees, due diligence, valuation expenses and independent collateral appraisals may arise when we make certain investments. These expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within ratings fees and other expenses as they are incurred.

 

Loan Origination, Facility, Commitment and Amendment Fees

 

We may receive loan origination, prepayment, facility, commitment, forbearance and amendment fees in addition to interest income during the life of the investment. We may receive origination fees upon the origination of an investment.

 

Origination fees received by us are initially deferred and reduced from the cost basis of the investment and subsequently accreted into interest income over the remaining stated term of the loan.

 

Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when we receive such amounts. Facility fees, sometimes referred to as asset management fees, are accrued as a percentage periodic fee on the base amount (either the funded facility amount or the committed principal amount). Commitment fees are based upon the undrawn portion committed by us and are accrued over the life of the loan.

 

Amendment and forbearance fees are paid in connection with loan amendments and waivers and are recognized upon completion of the amendments or waivers, generally when such fees are receivable. Any such fees are recorded and classified as other income and included in investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. As these fees are paid and recognized in connection with specific loan amendments or forbearance, they are typically non-recurring in nature.

 

Share Repurchase

Share repurchasetransactions are recorded on a trade date basis, which is the date when management has determined that all material legal terms have been contractually defined for the transactions. The aggregate cost of common stock repurchased, including any direct transaction costs, is recorded as a reduction of the par and paid-in-capital in excess of par value accounts, respectively.

6160
 

Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by our Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

 

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board authorizes, and we declare,declares a cash dividend or other distribution, then our stockholders who have not ‘opted out’ of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution.

 

No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have their cash dividend or other distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends or other distributions in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the plan, received in writing not less than 10 days prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares of our common stock and a check for any fractional share. The plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds of the sale of any fractional share of common stock.

 

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends and other distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

 

Income Tax

 

As a business development company, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we intend to qualify annually for such treatment.

 

We intend to comply with all RIC qualification provisions contained in the Code including certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements as well as the annual distribution requirements, which require us to distribute to our stockholders an amount generally equal to at least 90% of “investment company taxable income.” “Investment company taxable income” is generally defined asto include net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. As a RIC, we do not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or net capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders in a timely manner. However, we are subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate tax rates on any net ordinary income or net capital gain not distributed to our stockholders assuming at least 90% of our investment company taxable income is distributed each taxable year.we meet the annual distribution requirement.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions, and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. We would then pay a 4% excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, $50,000 was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, $45,000 was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

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, the majority of the loans in our portfolio had floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future will also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR and typically have interest rate re-set provisions that adjust applicable LIBOR under such loans to current market rates on a regular basis. In addition, the CLO has a floating interest rate provision based on a cost of funds that approximates LIBOR and we expect that any other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.

 

Assuming that the interim and unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

 

 Increase   Net Increase/ Increase   Net increase/
 in (Decrease)/increase (decrease) in in (Decrease)/increase (decrease) in
Change in interest rates interest income in interest expense investment income interest income in interest expense investment income
($ in thousands)            
Down 25 basis points  -   (414)  412   (17)  (453)  436 
Up 50 basis points  134   821   (687)  714   1,004   (290)
Up 100 basis points  1,189   1,670   (481)  2,378   2,009   369 
Up 200 basis points  4,202   3,368   834   5,900   4,017   1,883 
Up 300 basis points  7,792   5,067   2,725   9,428   6,026   3,402 

 

Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit markets, the size, credit quality or composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including indebtedness under the CLO or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that actual results would not differ materially from the statement above.

 

We may in the future hedge against currency and interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, and the collateral manager may engage in similar hedging activities with respect to the obligations of the CLO, to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in currency exchange and interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates. We, our Investment Adviser and the collateral manager have not hedged any of the obligations of the CLO.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

As of 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) under the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and 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. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
