2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”), which requires the use of estimates, assumptions and the exercise of subjective judgment as to future uncertainties.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented.

Although the Company is organized and intends to conduct its business in a manner so that it is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its financial statements are prepared using the specialized accounting principles of ASC Topic 946, “Financial Services—Investment Companies” (“ASC Topic 946”) to utilize investment company accounting. The Company obtains funds through the issuance of equity interests to multiple unrelated investors, and provides such investors with investment management services. Further, the Company’s business strategy is to acquire interests in middle-market U.S. businesses to provide current income and long term capital appreciation, while protecting invested capital. Overall, the Company believes that the use of investment company accounting on a fair value basis is consistent with the management of its assets on a fair value basis, and makes the Company’s financial statements more useful to investors and other financial statement users in facilitating the evaluation of an investment in the Company as compared to other investment products in the marketplace.

Principles of Consolidation

Under ASC Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies” (“ASC Topic 946”) the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than anotheran investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit the Company. In accordance therewith, the Company has consolidated the results of its wholly owned subsidiaries which provide services to the Company in its condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has not consolidated the results of its subsidiaries in which the Company holds debt and equity investments. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic around the globe continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by, among other things, instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures, requiring restrictions on travel and issuing “shelter-in-place” and/or “stay-at-home” orders. Such actions are creating significant disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting a number of industries.
The major disruption caused by COVID-19 brought to a halt most economic activity in most of the United States resulting in a significant increase in unemployment claims and will likely result in a significant decline in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
COVID-19 could have a continued and prolonged adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results and financial condition.
The full impact of COVID-19 on the financial and credit markets and consequently on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted at the current time as it depends on several factors beyond the control of the Company including, but not limited to (i) the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the outbreak, (ii) the effectiveness of the United States public health response, (iii) the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, (iv) the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the pandemic, (v) the timing and speed of economic recovery, including the availability of a treatment or vaccination for COVID-19, and (vi) the negative impact on its portfolio companies.
Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of demand deposits at commercial banksbanks. Cash is carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash with original maturitieshighly-rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash as of three months or less fromDecember 31, 2019 consisted of escrowed funds held with an affiliate of the dateSub-Manager for investment purposes. The Company had no restricted cash as of purchase.

Use of Estimates

Management makes estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ActualThe uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the accuracy of the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements and related footnotes and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”) clarifies that the fair value is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. ASC Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs.

In addition, ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels of valuation hierarchy established by ASC Topic 820 are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient pricing information on an ongoing basis. Publicly listed equity and debt securities and listed derivatives that are traded on major securities exchanges and publicly traded equity options are generally valued using Level 1 inputs. If a price for a Level 1an asset cannot be determined based upon this established process, it shall then be valued as a Level 2 or Level 3 asset.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include the following: (i) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; (iii) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and (iv) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets. Fixed income and derivative assets, where there is an observable secondary trading market and through which pricing inputs are available through pricing services or broker quotes, are generally valued using Level 2 inputs. If a price for a Level 2an asset cannot be determined based upon this established process, it shall then be valued as a Level 3 asset.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability being valued. Unobservable inputs will be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available and such inputs will be based on the best information available in the circumstances, which under certain circumstances might include the Manager’s or theSub-Manager’s own data. Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. Certain assets may be valued based upon estimated value of underlying collateral and include adjustments deemed necessary for estimates of costs to obtain control and liquidate available collateral. Thenon-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. Debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach are generally valued using Level 3 inputs.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls will be determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

The Company’s board of directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the board of directors, based on, among other things,factors, the input of the Manager, theSub-Manager, management, its audit committee, and the independent third-party valuation firm. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s assets requires judgment, especially with respect to assets for which market prices are not available. For most of the Company’s assets, market prices will not be available. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of assets that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the assets may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such assets, and the differences could be material. Because the calculation of the Company’s net asset value is based, in part, on the fair value of its assets, the Company’s calculation of net asset value is subjective and could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of its assets were materially

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

higher than the values that the Company ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such assets. Furthermore, through the valuation process, the Company’s board of directors may determine that the fair value of the Company’s assets differs materially from the values that were provided by the independent valuation firm.

The Company may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples adjusted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the businesses or industry practices in determining fair value. The Company may also consider the size and scope of a business and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the value.

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

The Company will measure realized gains or losses as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale, repayment, or disposal of an asset and the adjusted cost basis of the asset, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in asset values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Income Recognition

Interest Income– Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities for accounting purposes if it has reason to doubt its ability to collect such interest.

The Company places loans onnon-accrual status when principal and interest are past due 90 days or more or when there is a reasonable doubt that the Company will collect principal or interest. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed onnon-accrual. Interest payments received onnon-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment.Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due and principal and interest isamounts are paid and, in management’s judgment, isare likely to remain current.

Since inception, the Company has not experienced any past due payments on any of its loans.

Dividend Income – Dividend income is recorded (1) on theex-dividend date for publicly issued securities and (2) on the record date for privately issued securities.

securities, but excludes any portion of distributions that are treated as a return of capital. Each distribution received from an equity investment is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there is sufficient current or accumulated earnings prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. Since inception, all distributions have been classified as dividend income.

Paid in Capital
The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common shares on a net basis to (i) capital stock and (ii) paid in capital in excess of par value, excluding upfront selling commissions and placement agent/dealer manager fees.

Share Repurchases
Under the Company’s share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), a shareholder’s shares are deemed to have been redeemed as of the repurchase date, which will generally be the last business day of the month of a calendar quarter. Shares redeemed are retired and not available for reissue. See Note 7. “Capital Transactions” for additional information.
Organization and Offering Expenses

Organization expenses are expensed on the Company’s statementstatements of operations as incurred. Offering expenses, which consist of amounts incurred for items such as legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work incurred related to the Offerings, are capitalized on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and expensed to the Company’s statements of operations over the lesser of the offering period or 12 months; however, the end of the deferral period will not exceed 12 months from the date the offering expense is incurred by the Manager and the Sub-Manager.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
Sub-Manager.Under the Public Offering, the Company pays distribution and shareholder servicing fees with respect to its Class T and Class D shares, as described further below in

Note 5. “Related Party Transactions.” The Company records the distribution and shareholder servicing fees, which accrue daily, in its condensed statements of operations as they are incurred.

Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs, including upfront fees, commitment fees and legal fees related to the Line of Credit (as defined and further described in Note 8. “Borrowings”) will be deferred and amortized over the life of the related financing instrument using the effective yield method. The amortization of deferred financing costs is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed statements of operations.
Allocation of Profit and Loss
Class-specific expenses, including base management fees, total return incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, expense support and certain transfer agent fees, are allocated to each share class of common shares in accordance with how such fees are attributable to the particular share classes, as determined by the Company’s board of directors, the Company’s governing agreements and, in certain cases, expenses which are specifically identifiable to a specific share class.
Income and expenses which are not class-specific are allocated monthly pro rata among the share classes based on shares outstanding as of the end of the month.
Earnings per Share

and Net Investment Income per Share

Earnings per share isand net investment income per share are calculated for each share class of common shares based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions

The Company’s board of directors beganhas declared and intends to continue to declare cash distributions to shareholders based on weeklymonthly record dates and such distributions are expected to be paid on a monthly basis.basis one month in arrears. Distributions are made on all classes of the Company’s shares at the same time.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of shareholders. Non-founder shareholders participating in the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares having the same class designation as the class of shares to which such distributions are attributable at a price per share equivalent to the then current public offering price, net of up-front selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Cash distributions paid on Class FA shares participating in the distribution reinvestment plan are reinvested in additional Class A shares.
Income Taxes
Under GAAP, the Company is subject to the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and concluded it has no material uncertain tax positions to be recognized at this time. If applicable, the Company will recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of operations. 
The Company has operated and expects that it willto continue to operate so that it will qualify to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Generally, the Company will not be taxable as a corporation if 90% or more of its gross income for each taxable year consists of “qualifying income” (generally, interest (other than interest generated from a financial business), dividends, real property rents, gain from the sale of assets that produce qualifying income and certain other items) and the Company is not required to register under the Investment Company Act (the “qualifying income exception”).

3. Investments

A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

The preceding tables representinclude the significant unobservable inputs as they relate to the Company’s determination of fair values for its investments categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2018.2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tabletables above, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value estimates for the Company’s investments. Any significant increases or decreases in the unobservable inputs would result in significant increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company’s investments.

Investments that do not have a readily available market value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow approach), a transaction approach, or a combination of such approaches, as appropriate. The market comparables approach uses prices, including third party indicative broker quotes, and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The transaction approach uses pricing indications derived from recent precedent merger and acquisition transactions involving comparable target companies. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) that are discounted based on a required or expected discount rate to derive a single present value amount.amount range. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors the Company may take into account to determine the fair value of its investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including an assessment of the credit quality of the security’s issuer, relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, illiquidity discounts, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio

company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, data derived from merger and acquisition activities for comparable companies, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Due to the significant market dislocation in March 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fair values of the Company’s portfolio companies were impacted by a combination of variability in EBITDA, decreases in public market multiples and increases in the risk premium in discount rates used to value the portfolio companies. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $3.4 million on its equity investments in Lawn Doctor, Polyform and Roundtables. The fair values of the Company’s investments may be further negatively impacted after March 31, 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic or by circumstances and events that are not yet known.

The management fee for a certain month is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of that month and the immediately preceding calendar month. The determination of gross assets will reflectreflects changes in the fair market value of the Company’s assets, which willdoes not necessarily equal their notional value, reflecting both realized and unrealized capital appreciation.appreciation or depreciation. Average Adjusted Capital of an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable month. The base management fee may be reduced or deferred by the Manager and theSub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below. For purposes of this calculation, “Average Adjusted Capital” for an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable quarter. The annual preference return of 7% and the relevant breakpoints of 8.75% and 7.777%, respectively, are also adjusted for the actual number of days in each calendar year, measured as of each calendar quarter end. “Adjusted Capital” is defined as cumulative proceeds generated from sales of ourthe Company’s shares of a particular share class (including proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan, if any), net of sales load (upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees), if any, reduced for the full amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to any share repurchase program, if any, for such class.

The total return incentive fee may be reduced or deferred by the Manager and theSub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below. For purposes of this calculation, “Total Return to Shareholders” for any calendar quarter is calculated for each share class as the change in the net asset value for such share class plus total distributions for such share class calculated based on the Average Adjusted Capital for such class as of such calendar quarter end. The terms “Total Return toNon-founder Shareholders” and “Total Return to Founder Shareholders” means the Total Return to Shareholders specifically attributable to each particular share class ofnon-founder Non-founder shares or founderFounder shares, as applicable.

The total return incentive fee for each share class will beis calculated as follows:

No total return incentive fee will be payable in any calendar year in which the annual Total Return to Shareholders of a particular share class does not exceed 7% (the “Annual Preferred Return”).

As it relates to thenon-founder Non-founder shares, all of the Total Return to Shareholders with respect to each particular share class ofnon-founder Non-founder shares, if any, that exceeds the annual preferred return, but is less than or equal to 8.75%, or the“non-founder “Non-founder breakpoint,” in any calendar year, will be payable to the Manager(“ (“Non-founder Catch Up”). TheNon-Founder Catch Up is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% of the Total Return toNon-founder Shareholders of a particular share class once the Total Return toNon-founder Shareholders of a particular class exceeds 8.75% in any calendar year.

As it relates to founderFounder shares, all of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders with respect to each particular share class of Founder shares, if any, that exceeds the annual preferred return, but is less than or equal to 7.777%, or the “founder breakpoint,” in any calendar year, will be payable to the Manager (“Founder Catch Up”). The Founder Catch Up is intended to provide an incentive fee of 10% of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular share class once the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular class exceeds 7.777% in any calendar year.

For any quarter in which the Total Return to Shareholders of a particular share class exceeds the relevant breakpoint, the total return incentive fee of a particular share class shall equal, fornon-founder Non-founder shares, 20% of the Total Return toNon-founder Shareholders of a particular class, and for founderFounder shares, 10% of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular class, in each case because the annual preferred and relevant catch ups will have been achieved.

For purposes of calculating the Total Return to Shareholders, the change in the Company’s net asset value is subject to a High Water Mark. The “High Water Mark” is equal to the highestyear-end net asset value, for each share class of the Company since inception, adjusted for any special distributions resulting from the sale of the Company’s assets, provided such adjustment is approved by the Company’s board of directors. If, as of each calendar year end, the Company’s net asset value for the applicable share class is (A) above the High Water Mark, then, for such calendar year, the Total Return to Shareholders calculation will include the increase in the Company’s net asset value for such share class in excess of the High Water Mark, and (B) if the Company’s net asset value for the applicable share class is below the High Water Mark, for such calendar year, (i) any increase in the Company’s per share net asset value will be disregarded in the calculation of Total Return to Shareholders for such share class while (ii) any decrease in the Company’s per share net asset value will be included the calculation of Total Return to Shareholders for such share class. For the year ending December 31, 2018,2019, the High Water MarkMarks were $26.65 for Class FA shares, $26.44 for Class A shares, $26.54 for Class T shares, $26.23 for Class D shares and $26.55 for Class I shares. For the year ending December 31, 2020, the High Water Marks will be $24.75.$27.64 for Class FA shares, $26.91 for Class A shares, $27.01 for Class T shares, $26.61 for Class D shares, $27.15 for Class I shares and $27.64 for Class S shares.

For purposes of this calculation, “Average Adjusted Capital” for an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable quarter. The Company did not incur any incentive fees duringannual preferred return of 7% and the period from February 7, 2018 (commencementrelevant breakpoints of operations) through March 31, 2018.

8.75% and 7.777%, respectively, are also adjusted for the actual number of days in each calendar year, measured as of each calendar quarter end.

Reimbursement to Manager andSub-Manager for Operating Expenses — The Company will reimbursereimburses the Manager and theSub-Manager and their respective affiliates for certain operating costs and expenses of third parties incurred in connection with their provision of services to the Company, including fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations relating to the Company’s activities, acquisitions, dispositions, financings and business, subject to the terms of the Company’s limited liability company agreement, the Management Agreement, theSub-Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below).

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement— The Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with the Manager and theSub-Manager (the “Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement”), which became effective on February 7, 2018, pursuant to which each of the Manager and theSub-Manager agrees to reduce the payment of base management fees, total return incentive fees and the reimbursements of reimbursable expenses due to the Manager and theSub-Manager under the Management Agreement and theSub-Management Agreement, as applicable, to the extent that the Company’s annual regular cash distributions exceed its annual net income (with certain adjustments). The amount of such expense support is equal to the annual (calendar year) excess, if any, of (a) the distributions (as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement) declared and paid (net of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan) to shareholders minus (b) the available operating funds, as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support”). The Company recorded expense support due from the Manager and Sub-Manager of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expense support is paid by the Manager and Sub-Manager annually in arrears.
The Expense Support amount will beis borne equally by the Manager and theSub-Manager and will beis calculated as of the last business day of the calendar year. Beginning on February 7, 2018 and continuing untilUntil the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement is terminated, the Manager andSub-Manager shall equally conditionally reduce the payment of fees and reimbursements of reimbursable expenses in an amount equal to the conditional waiver amount (as defined in and subject to limitations described in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement). The term of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement has the same initial term and renewal terms as the Management Agreement or theSub-Management Agreement, as applicable, to the Manager or theSub-Manager.

If, on the last business day of the calendar year, the annual (calendar year)year-to-date available operating funds exceeds the sum of the annual (calendar year)year-to-date distributions paid per share class (the “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company will useuses such Excess Operating Funds to pay the Manager and theSub-Manager all or a portion of the outstanding unreimbursed Expense Support amounts for each share class, as applicable, subject to certain conditions (the “Conditional Reimbursements”) as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The Company’s obligation to make Conditional Reimbursements shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect three years following the date which the Expense Support amount was provided and to which such Conditional Reimbursement relates, as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, the amount of expense support collected from the Manager and Sub-Manager since inception is approximately $1.8 million. As of March 31, 2020, management believes that reimbursement payments by the Company to the Manager and Sub-Manager are not probable under the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The following table reflects the expense support that may become reimbursable, subject to the conditions of reimbursement defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement:

8. CommitmentBorrowings
In June 2019, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a loan agreement and related promissory note (the “Loan Agreement”) with Seaside National Bank & Contingences

Trust for a $20.0 million line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit has a maturity date of 364 days from the effective date of the Loan Agreement plus one 12-month extension. The Company is required to pay a fee of 0.4% of each borrowing with a maximum fee of $80,000 over the 364 day period. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company is required to pay interest on the borrowed amount at a rate of 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.75%. Interest payments are due monthly in arrears. The Company may prepay, without penalty, all or any part of the borrowings under the Loan Agreement at any time and such borrowings are required to be repaid within 180 days of the borrowing date. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company is required to comply with reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. In connection with the Loan Agreement, in June 2019, the Company entered into an assignment and pledge of deposit account agreement (“Deposit Agreement”) in favor of the lender under the Line of Credit. Under the Deposit Agreement, the Company is required to contribute proceeds from the Offerings to pay down the outstanding debt to the extent there are any borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement above the minimum cash balance.

The Company had not borrowed any amounts under the Line of Credit as of March 31, 2020.

9. Concentrations of Risk
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had three portfolio companies (Lawn Doctor, Polyform and Roundtables) which met at least one of the significance tests under Rule 8-03(b) of Regulation S-X.
The portfolio companies are required to make monthly interest payments on their debt, with the debt principal due upon maturity. Failure of any of these portfolio companies to pay contractual interest payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from operations, which would impact its ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Concentrations of Risk
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had three portfolio companies (Lawn Doctor, Polyform and Roundtables) which met at least one of the leading market share positions insignificance tests under Rule 8-03(b) of Regulation S-X.
The portfolio companies are required to make monthly interest payments on their debt, with the polymer clay segment within the United States. Polyform estimates that its products are available in approximately 8,900 retail locations through its major customers, plus many other locations through independent retailers. Products are shipped directlydebt principal due upon maturity. Failure of any of these portfolio companies to 48 countries worldwide.

See Note 3. “Investments”pay contractual interest payments could have a material adverse effect on our results of Item 1. “Financial Statements” for additional information relatedoperations and cash flows from operations, which would impact our ability to our investments.

make distributions to shareholders.

Adjusted EBITDA

When evaluating the performance of our portfolio, we monitor adjustedAdjusted EBITDA to measure the financial and operational performance of our portfolio companies and their ability to pay contractually obligated debt payments to us. In connection with this evaluation, the Manager andSub-Manager review monthly portfolio company operating performance versus budgeted expectations and conduct regular operational review calls with the management teams of the portfolio companies.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of the performance of our initial businesses.portfolio companies which met at least one of the significance tests under Rule 8-03(b) of Regulation S-X for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (i) interest expense, net, and loan cost amortization, (ii) taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for certain othernon-recurring items that we do not consider indicative of the ongoing operating performance of our initial businesses.portfolio companies. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future our initial businessesportfolio companies may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. This presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the future results of our initial businessesportfolio companies will be unaffected by unusual ornon-recurring items.

We present Adjusted EBITDA for our significant portfolio companies because we believe it assists investors in comparing the performance of such businesses across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of their core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on indebtedness; (iv) although depreciation and amortization arenon-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; (v) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of theon-going operations of our initial businesses;portfolio companies; and (vi) other companies in similar industries as our initial businessesportfolio companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

Factors Impacting Our Operating Results

We expect that the results of our operations will be affected by a number of factors. Many of the factors that will affect our operating results are beyond our control.

We will be dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow from the businesses that we acquire to meet our corporate overhead and management fee expenses and to make distributions. These earnings and cash flows, net of any minority interests in these businesses, will be available:

first, to meet management fees and corporate overhead expenses of the company; and

second, to fund business operations and distributions by the company to shareholders.

first, to meet our management fees and corporate overhead expenses; and
second, to fund business operations and distributions by us to shareholders.
COVID-19
The Company and the operations of its portfolio companies could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19, which continues to spread throughout the United States and globally. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by, among other things, instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures, requiring restrictions on travel and issuing “shelter-in-place” and/or “stay-at-home” orders. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting a number of industries. The Manager, the Sub-Manager and our businesses could be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time. Since certain aspects of the services provided by our businesses involve face to face interaction, the related COVID-19 quarantines and work and travel restrictions may reduce participation or result in a loss of business. Additionally, since certain of the products offered by our businesses are manufactured in a facility or distributed through retail stores, a closure of such facility or loss in business for such retail store due to COVID-19 would have an adverse impact on product sales. For example, as a result of the outbreak and a “stay-at-home” order issued by the state of Illinois, the manufacturing facility used by Polyform temporarily closed starting in late March 2020.

We are working with management at each of our portfolio companies to prepare cost reduction plans, and to the extent appropriate begin executing such plans, to reduce or defer controllable costs, such as labor costs, marketing spend and capital expenditures. Additionally, our portfolio companies are proactively managing working capital and drawing on revolving credit facilities as applicable. Some of our portfolio companies have experienced and expect to continue to experience reductions in customer demand. We expect that the government measures taken to address the spread of the virus, the reductions in production at certain facilities, and the closure of many brick and mortar retail businesses will more meaningfully impact the operations of some of our portfolio companies in future periods. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of our business (including our portfolio companies) will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Since March 13, 2020, there have been a number of federal, state and local government initiatives to manage the spread of the virus and its impact on the economy, financial markets and continuity of businesses of all sizes and industries. For example, on March 27, 2020, Congress approved, and President Trump signed into law, the CARES Act, an approximately $2 trillion stimulus package responding to the economic harms of COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, provides certain measures to support individuals and businesses in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the form of financing and loan forgiveness/forbearance. In addition, the Trump administration has indicated that it may sign additional legislation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is currently unclear how or if the CARES Act or any future legislation would impact or benefit us, but we continue to analyze the relevant legislative and regulatory developments and the potential impact they may have on our business (including our businesses), results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part II of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 for additional information regarding the risks of COVID-19.
Size of assets

If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of acquisitions we may make. The size of our assets will be a key revenue driver. Generally, as the size of our assets grows, the amount of income we receive will increase. In addition, our assets may grow at an uneven pace as opportunities to acquire assets may be irregularly timed, and the timing and extent of the Manager’s and theSub-Manager’s success in identifying such opportunities, and our success in making acquisitions, cannot be predicted.

Market conditions

From time to time, the global capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability, as we have seen and continue to see with the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially and adversely impact the broader financial and credit markets and reduce the availability to us of debt and equity capital. Significant changes or volatility in the capital markets have and may alsocontinue to have a negative effect on the valuations of our businesses and other assets. While all of our assets are likely to not be publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our assets are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an asset long term or through its maturity) and impairments of the market values or fair market values of our assets, even if unrealized, must be reflected in our financial statements for the applicable period, which could result in significant reductions to our net asset value for the period. See “Results of Operations – Net Change in Unrealized (Depreciation) Appreciation” below for additional information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the fair market values of our assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of our activity and the potential for liquidity events involving our assets. Thus, the illiquidity of our assets may make it difficult for us to sell such assets to access capital if required, and as a result, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our assets if we were required to sell them for liquidity purposes.

Results of Operations

From the time


Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Liquidity is a measure of our formation on August 9, 2016 through February 6, 2018, we had not commencedability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments, fund and maintain our assets and operations, repay borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. We will use significant cash to fund acquisitions, make additional investments in our portfolio companies, make distributions to our shareholders and fund our operations. Operations commenced on February 7, 2018, when aggregate subscription proceeds in excessOur primary sources of the minimum offering amount of $80 million were received in the Private Placement. We acquired our initial businesses on February 7, 2018 using a substantial portion of cash will generally consist of:
the net proceeds from the Private Placement. See “Overview – Our Common Shares Offering”Offerings;
distributions and “Overview – Portfoliointerest earned from our assets;
expense support; and Investment Activity” above
proceeds from sales of assets and principal repayments from our assets.

We expect we will have sufficient cash from current sources to meet our liquidity needs for additional information.

the next twelve months. However, we may opt to supplement our equity capital and increase potential returns to our shareholders through the use of prudent levels of borrowings. We may use debt when the available terms and conditions are favorable to long-term investing and well-aligned with our business strategy. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy, we are closely monitoring overall liquidity levels and changes in the business performance of our portfolio companies to be in a position to enact changes to ensure adequate liquidity going forward.

While we generally intend to hold our assets for the long term, certain assets may be sold in order to manage our liquidity needs, meet other operating objectives and adapt to market conditions. The timing and impact of future sales of our assets, if any, cannot be predicted with any certainty.
As of March 31, 2018,2020 and December 31, 2019, we had approximately $28.9 million and $31.0 million, respectively, of cash and restricted cash.
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Offerings. We received approximately $20.5 million and $10.6 million in net proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from the Offerings, which excludes approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million raised through our distribution reinvestment plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately 943 million common shares available for sale through the Public Offering and Class FA Private Offering and the Follow-On Class FA Private Offering.
Operating Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated operating cash flows (excluding amounts related to purchases of investments) of approximately $1.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows (excluding amounts related to purchases of investments) is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase in total investment income of approximately $0.5 million primarily attributable to an increase in interest earned on debt investments;
a decrease in amounts due from related parties of approximately $0.7 million due to the collection from the Manager and Sub-Manager of the annual expense support receivable, partially offset by new expense support receivables related to the three months ended March 31, 2020; and
a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $0.1 million.
Borrowings. In June 2019, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Loan Agreement for a $20.0 million Line of Credit. The purpose of the Line of Credit is for general Company working capital and acquisition financing purposes. The Line of Credit has a maturity date of 364 days from the effective date of the Loan Agreement plus one 12-month extension. We had not borrowed any amounts under the Line of Credit as of March 31, 2020.
Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Investments.We used approximately $22.5 million of cash proceeds from the Offerings to purchase investments in two portfolio companies during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not use proceeds to purchase investments during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Distributions.We paid distributions to our shareholders of approximately $1.6 million and $1.1 million (which excludes distributions reinvested of approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See “Distributions” below for additional information.
Share Repurchases. We paid approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to repurchase shares in accordance with our Share Repurchase Program. We did not repurchase shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Distributions Declared
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our board of directors declared cash distributions to shareholders based on monthly record dates, and such distributions were paid monthly in arrears. See Note 6. “Distributions” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for additional information, including distributions declared per share for each share class.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, includes $419,855 of distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, of which $153,758 was reinvested in April 2020 with the payment of distributions declared in March 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, includes $121,011 of distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, of which $46,596 was reinvested in April 2019.
We calculate each shareholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates. Distributions are made on all classes of our shares at the same time. Amounts distributed are allocated among each class in proportion to the number of shares of each class outstanding. Amounts distributed to each class are allocated among the holders of our shares in such class in proportion to their shares. The per share amount of distributions on Class A, Class T, Class D and Class I shares will differ because of different allocations of certain class-specific expenses. Specifically, distributions paid to our shareholders of share classes with ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees may be lower than distributions on certain other of our classes without such ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees that we are required to pay. Additionally, distributions on the Non-founder shares may be lower than distributions on Founder shares because we are required to pay higher management and incentive fees to the Manager and the Sub-Manager with respect to the Non-founder shares. There is no assurance that we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. See Note 6. “Distributions” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for additional disclosures regarding distributions, including per share amounts declared per share class for the periods presented.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which shareholders who purchase shares in the Public Offering have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares having the same class designation as the class of shares to which such distributions are attributable, unless such shareholders elect to receive distributions in cash, are residents of Opt-In States, or are clients of certain participating broker-dealers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan. Opt-In States include Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Washington. Shareholders who are residents of Opt-In States, holders of Class FA shares, and clients of certain participating broker-dealers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan automatically receive their distributions in cash unless they elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares. Cash distributions paid on Class FA shares are reinvested in additional Class A shares.
The purchase price for shares purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan is equal to the most recently determined and published net asset value per share of the applicable class of shares. Because the distribution and shareholder servicing fee is calculated based on net asset value, it reduces net asset value and/or distributions with respect to Class T shares and Class D shares, including shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan with respect to such share classes. To the extent newly issued shares are purchased from us under the distribution reinvestment plan or shareholders elect to reinvest their cash distribution in our shares, we retain and/or receive additional funds for acquisitions and general purposes including the repurchase of shares under the Share Repurchase Program.
We do not pay selling commissions or dealer manager fees on shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, the amount of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee payable with respect to Class T or Class D shares, respectively, sold in the Public Offering is allocated among all Class T or Class D shares, respectively, including those sold under our distribution reinvestment plan and those received as distributions.
Our shareholders will be taxed on their allocable share of income, even if their distributions are reinvested in additional shares of our common shares and even if no distributions are made.


Share Repurchase Program
We adopted the Share Repurchase Program effective March 2019, as further amended in January 2020, pursuant to which we conduct quarterly share repurchases to allow our shareholders to sell all or a portion of their shares (at least 5% of his or her shares) back to us at a price equal to the net asset value per share of the month immediately prior to the repurchase date. The repurchase date is generally the last business day of the month of a calendar quarter end. We are not obligated to repurchase shares under the Share Repurchase Program. If we determine to repurchase shares, the Share Repurchase Program also limits the total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class FA, Class A, Class T, Class D, Class I and Class S shares to up to 2.5% of our aggregate net asset value per calendar quarter (based on the aggregate net asset value as of the last date of the month immediately prior to the repurchase date) and up to 10% of our aggregate net asset value per year (based on the average aggregate net asset value as of the end of each of our trailing four quarters). The Share Repurchase Program also includes certain restrictions on the timing, amount and terms of our repurchases intended to ensure our ability to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The aggregate amount of funds under the Share Repurchase Program is determined on a quarterly basis at the sole discretion of our board of directors. During any calendar quarter, the total amount of aggregate repurchases is limited to the aggregate proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan during the previous quarter unless our board of directors determines otherwise. At the sole discretion of our board of directors, we may also use other sources, including, but not limited to, offering proceeds and borrowings to repurchase shares. 
To the extent that the number of shares submitted to us for repurchase exceeds the number of shares that we are able to purchase, we will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis, from among the requests for repurchase received by us based upon the total number of shares for which repurchase was requested and the order of priority described in the Share Repurchase Program. We may repurchase shares including fractional shares, computed to three decimal places.
Under the Share Repurchase Program, our ability to make new acquisitions of businesses or increase the current distribution rate may become limited if, over any two-year period, we experience repurchase demand in excess of capacity. If, during any consecutive two year period, we do not have at least one quarter in which we fully satisfy 100% of properly submitted repurchase requests, we will not make any new acquisitions of businesses (excluding short-term cash management investments under 90 days in duration) and we will use all available investable assets (as defined below) to satisfy repurchase requests (subject to the limitations under the Share Repurchase Program) until all Unfulfilled Repurchase Requests have been satisfied. Additionally, during such time as there remains any Unfulfilled Repurchase Requests outstanding from such period, the Manager and the Sub-Manager will defer their total return incentive fee until all such Unfulfilled Repurchase Requests have been satisfied. “Investable assets” includes net proceeds from new subscription agreements, unrestricted cash, proceeds from marketable securities, proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan, and net cash flows after any payment, accrual, allocation, or liquidity reserves or other business costs in the normal course of owning, operating or selling our acquired businesses, debt service, repayment of debt, debt financing costs, current or anticipated debt covenants, funding commitments related to our businesses, customary general and administrative expenses, customary organizational and offering costs, asset management and advisory fees, performance or actions under existing contracts, obligations under our organizational documents or those of our subsidiaries, obligations imposed by law, regulations, courts or arbitration, or distributions or establishment of an adequate liquidity reserve as determined by our board of directors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received requests for the repurchase of approximately $1.9 million (70,822 shares) of our common shares, which exceeded proceeds received from our distribution reinvestment plan in the fourth quarter of 2019 by approximately $1.6 million. Our board of directors approved the use of other sources to satisfy repurchase requests received in excess of proceeds received from the distribution reinvestment plan.

 $1,769,785
The majority of our interest income is generated from our debt investments, all of which had fixed rate interest as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. As of March 31, 2018,2020 and 2019, our weighted average annual yield on our accruing debt investments was 15.5% and 16.0% based on amortized cost, respectively, as defined above in “Overview – Portfolio“Portfolio and Investment Activity.” As of March 31, 2018, all ofInterest income from our debt investments had fixed rate interest. Interestwas approximately $2.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, while interest income earned on our cash accounts was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, is primarily attributable to additional debt investments during the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 of approximately $22.9 million.
We received dividend income of approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from our equity investments in our portfolio companies.
We do not believe that our interest income, dividend income and total investment income for the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 was $728,216. We believe that our interest income and total investment income is not

We consider the following expense categories to be relatively fixed in the near term: administrative services,insurance expenses and director fees and expenses, and custodian and accounting fees.expenses. Variable operating expenses include general and administrative, custodian and accounting fees, professional services, pursuit costs, base management fees, performance–basedtotal return incentive fees, and distribution and shareholder servicing fees, and a component of other operating expenses related to transfer agency services and shareholder services.fees. We expect these variable operating expenses to increase either in connection with the growth in theour asset base (investment advisory(base management fees and total return incentive fees), the number of shareholders and open accounts (transfer agency services and shareholder services, distribution and shareholder servicing fees) and the complexity of our investment processes and capital structure (professional services).

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organization expenses are expensed on our condensed consolidated statement of operations as incurred. Offering expenses, which consist of amounts incurred for items such as legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work incurred related to ourthe Offerings, are capitalized on our statementstatements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and expensed to our statement of operations over the lesser of the offering period or 12 months; however, the end of the deferral period will not exceed 12 months from the date the offering expense is incurred by the Manager and theSub-Manager.

We expensed organization and offering expenses of approximately $0.2 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Base Management Fee

Our base management fee is calculated for each share class at an annual rate of (i) for thenon-founder Non-founder shares, 2% of the product of (x) our average gross assets and (y) the ratio ofnon-founder Non-founder share Average Adjusted Capital for a particular class to total Average Adjusted Capital and (ii) for the founderFounder shares, 1% of the product of (x) our average gross assets and (y) the ratio of outstanding founderFounder share Average Adjusted Capital for a particular class to total Average Adjusted Capital, in each case excluding cash, and is payable monthly in arrears.

We incurred base management fees of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in base management fees is primarily attributable to the increase in our average gross assets since March 31, 2019.
Total Return Incentive Fee

The Manager andSub-Manager are also eligible to receive incentive fees based on the Total Return to Shareholders, as defined in the Management Agreement andSub-Management Agreement, for each share class in any calendar year, payable annually in arrears. We will accrue (but do not pay) the total return incentive fee on a quarterly basis, to the extent that it is earned, and will perform a final reconciliation at completion of each calendar year and theyear. The total return incentive fee shall beis due and payable to the Manager and Sub-Manager no later than ninety (90) calendar days following the end of the applicable calendar year. The total return incentive fee may be reduced or deferred by the Manager and theSub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.

We did not incur any total return incentive fees during the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) throughthree months ended March 31, 2018.

2020 and 2019. We incurred a total return incentive fee of approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and may incur a total return incentive fee during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Pursuit Costs
Pursuit costs relate to transactional expenses incurred for investments that did not close, including fees and expenses associated with performing the due diligence reviews. We incurred pursuit costs of $6,949 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not incur pursuit costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses (consisting of professional services, director fees and expenses, general and administrative expenses, custodian and accounting fees, and insurance expense) were approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in other operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to an increase in accounting, legal, tax and valuation professional services resulting from an increase in the number of shareholders and investments, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee
The Managing Dealer is eligible to receive a distribution and shareholder servicing fee, subject to certain limits, with respect to our Class T and Class D shares sold in the Public Offering (excluding Class T shares and Class D shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan and those received as share distributions) in an amount equal to 1.00% and 0.50%, respectively, of the current net asset value per share.
We incurred distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $26,359 and $6,769 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in distribution and shareholder servicing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is attributable to an increase in Class T and Class D shareholders.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

Expense support from the Manager and Sub-Manager partially offsets operating expenses. Expense support totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The actual amount of expense support is determined as of the last business day of each calendar year and is paid within 90 days after each year end per the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below.
We have entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with the Manager and theSub-Manager, pursuant to which each of the Manager and theSub-Manager agrees to reduce the payment of base management fees, total return incentive fees and the reimbursements of reimbursable expenses due to the Manager and theSub-Manager under the Management Agreement and theSub-Management Agreement, as applicable, to the extent that our annual regular cash distributions exceed our annual net income (with certain adjustments). Expense Support is equal to the annual (calendar year) excess, if any, of (a) the distributions (as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement) declared and paid (net of our distribution reinvestment plan) to shareholders minus (b) the available operating funds. The Expense Support amount will beis borne equally by the Manager and theSub-Manager and will beis calculated as of the last business day of the calendar year. Beginning on February 7, 2018The Manager and continuing until the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement is terminated, the Manager andSub-Manager shall equally conditionally reduce the payment of fees and reimbursements of reimbursable expenses in an amount equal to the conditional waiver amount (as defined in and subject to limitations described in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement). The term of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement has the same initial term and renewal terms as the Management Agreement or theSub-Management Agreement, as applicable to the Manager or theSub-Manager.

If, on the last business day of the calendar year, there are Excessthe annual (calendar year) year-to-date available operating funds exceeds the sum of the annual (calendar year) year-to-date distributions paid per share class (the “Excess Operating Funds,Funds”), we will use such Excess Operating Funds to pay the Manager and theSub-Manager all or a portion of the outstanding unreimbursed Expense Support amounts for each share class, as applicable, subject to the Conditional Reimbursements as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. Our obligation to make Conditional Reimbursements shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect three years following the date which the Expense Support amount was provided and to which such Conditional Reimbursement relates, as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.

We did not have any Excess Operating Funds as of March 31, 2020 for any share class which had received expense support.

Net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation$(3,393,662) $281,000
Unrealized (depreciation) appreciation is based on the current fair value of our investments as determined by our board of directors based on inputs from the Sub-Manager and our independent valuation firm and consistent with our valuation policy, which take into consideration, among other factors, actual results of our portfolio companies in comparison to budgeted results for the year, future growth prospects, and the valuations of publicly traded comparable companies as determined by our independent valuation firm. Due to the significant market dislocation in March 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fair values of our portfolio companies were impacted by a combination of variability in EBITDA, decreases in public market multiples and increases in the risk premium in discount rates used to value the portfolio companies. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $3.4 million on our equity investments in Lawn Doctor, Polyform and Roundtables.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized unrealized appreciation of $524,449 pertains solely toapproximately $0.3 million on our equity investment in the equityLawn Doctor as a result of Lawn Doctor,Doctor’s strong performance in comparison to budgeted results.

Operations decreased by approximately $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in operations is primarily due to a decrease of approximately $3.7 million in the net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.5 million in net investment income.
Distributions increased approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a result of among other things, strong performance above expectationsan increase in shares outstanding.
Capital share transactions increased approximately $13.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due an increase of approximately $13.1 million in sales of Class FA shares, an increase of approximately $1.9 million in sales of shares through our Public Offering, approximately $0.2 million in sales of Class S shares and an increase of approximately $0.3 million in proceeds received through our distribution reinvestment plan. Such increases in capital share transactions during the future growth opportunitiesthree months ended March 31, 2020 were offset by the repurchasing of Lawn Doctor.

Net Assets

Net assets increased approximately $82.0 million duringForm 10-K for the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through Marchyear ended December 31, 2018. The most significant increase in net assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was attributable to capital transactions2019 and this Quarterly Report, including the issuancenegative impacts from the continued spread of Class FA shares resulting in net proceeds of approximately $81.5 million. Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, our operations resulted in an increase in net assets of approximately $0.8 million. These increases in net assets were partially offset by distributions to shareholders of approximately $0.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

COVID-19.

Our shares are illiquid investments for which there currently is currently not ano secondary market. YouInvestors should not expect to be able to resell yourtheir shares regardless of how we perform. If youinvestors are able to sell yourtheir shares, youthey will likely receive less than yourtheir purchase price. Our net asset value and annualized returns — which are based in part upon determinations of fair value of Level 3 investments by our board of directors, not active market quotations — are inherently uncertain. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments, fund and maintain our assets and operations, repay borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. We will use significant cash to fund acquisitions, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and fund our operations. Our primary sources of cash will generally consist of:

the net proceeds of the Public Offering;

distributions, interest earned and fees from our assets;

proceeds from sales of assets and principal repayments from our assets; andHedging Activities

unused borrowing capacity under our financing sources.

We expect we will have sufficient cash from current sources to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. However, we may opt to supplement our equity capital and increase potential returns to our shareholders through the use of prudent levels of borrowings. We may use debt when the available terms and conditions are favorable to long-term investing and well-aligned with our business strategy. In determining whether to borrow money, we seek to optimize maturity, covenant packages and rate structures. Most importantly, the risks of borrowing within the context of our business outlook and the impact on our businesses are extensively analyzed by the Manager and our board of directors in making this determination.

While we generally intend to hold our assets for the long term, certain assets may be sold in order to manage our liquidity needs, meet other operating objectives and adapt to market conditions. The timing and impact of future sales of our assets, if any, cannot be predicted with any certainty.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2020, we had approximately $5.6 million and $0.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

We raised approximately $81.5 millionnot entered into any derivatives or other financial instruments. However, in net proceeds (3.3 million shares of Class FA shares) during the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 under the Private Placement, which included a $2.4 millionnon-cash contribution by ourSub-Manager, as described above under “Overview – Our Common Shares Offering.” As of March 31, 2018 we had approximately 947 million common shares available for sale through our Public Offering.

During the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018, we generated cash flows primarily from interest earned on our debt investments. We used approximately $74.4 million of the cash proceeds from our Private Placement to purchase our initial businesses. We also declared four weekly distributions in March 2018 totaling approximately $0.3 million, which were paid to shareholders in April 2018. See “Distributions” below for information regarding our distribution policy.

Hedging Activities

In an effort to stabilize our revenue and input costs where applicable, we may enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our commodity risk. With respect to any potential financings, general increases in interest rates over time may cause the interest expense associated with our borrowings to increase, and the value of our debt investments to decline. We may seek to stabilize our financing costs as well as any potential decline in our assets by entering into derivatives, swaps or other financial products in an attempt to hedge our interest rate risk. In the event we pursue any assets outside of the United States we may have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge any such foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities may have on our results of operations.

Distributions

Subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, our board of directors intends to declare cash distributions to shareholders based on weekly record dates and we intend to pay such distributions on a monthly basis. Shareholders may elect to reinvest their distributions as additional common shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. Distributions are taxable to our shareholders even if they are reinvested in additional shares of our common shares. The following table reflects, by share class, the cash distributions per share and the total amount of distributions that we have declared on our common shares during the period February 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018:

We calculate each shareholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates. Distributions are made on all classes of our shares at the same time. Amounts distributed are allocated among each class in proportion to the number of shares of each class outstanding. Amounts distributed to each class are allocated among the holders of our shares in such class in proportion to their shares. The per share amount of distributions on Class A, Class T, Class D and Class I shares will differ because of different allocations of certain class-specific expenses. Specifically, distributions on Class T shares and Class D shares will be lower than distributions on Class A, Class FA and Class I shares because the company is required to pay ongoing annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees with respect to the Class T shares and Class D shares sold in the primary offering. Additionally, distributions on thenon-founder shares will likely be lower than distributions on Class FA shares because we are required to pay higher management and incentive fees to the Manager and theSub-Manager with respect to thenon-founder shares. There is no assurance that we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. See Note 6. “Distributions” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for additional disclosures regarding distributions.

We do not expect to use equity capital or borrowed funds to pay distributions to shareholders nor do we expect any portion of our distributions paid in 2018 to be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes. See Note 6. “Distributions” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for a discussion of the sources of funds used to pay distributions on a GAAP basis for the periods presented.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which shareholders who purchase shares in our Public Offering (other than shareholders who are residents of Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Washington (collectively the “Opt-in-States”) and clients of certain participating broker-dealers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan) will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares having the same class designation as the class of shares to which such distributions are attributable, unless such shareholders elect to receive distributions in cash. Shareholders who are residents ofOpt-in States, holders of Class FA shares and clients of certain participating broker-dealers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan will automatically receive their distributions in cash unless they elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares. Cash distributions paid on Class FA shares will be reinvested in additional shares of Class A shares. The following discussion summarizes the principal terms of this plan.

The purchase price for shares purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the most recently determined and published net asset value per share of the applicable class of shares. Because the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee is calculated based on net asset value, it reduces net asset value and/or distributions with respect to Class T shares and Class D shares, including shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan with respect to such share classes. To the extent newly issued shares are purchased from us under the distribution reinvestment plan or shareholders elect to reinvest their cash distribution in our shares, we will retain and/or receive additional funds for acquisitions and general purposes including the repurchase of shares under our share repurchase program.

We will not pay selling commissions or dealer manager fees on shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, the amount of the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee payable with respect to Class T or Class D shares, respectively, sold in this offering will be allocated among all Class T or Class D shares, respectively, including those sold under our distribution reinvestment plan and those received as distributions.


Contractual Obligations

We have entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager and theSub-Management Agreement with the Manager and theSub-Manager pursuant to which the Manager and theSub-Manager are entitled to receive a base management fee and the reimbursement of certain expenses. Certain incentive fees based on our performance are payable to the Manager and theSub-Manager after our performance thresholds are met. Each of the Manager and theSub-Manager is entitled to 50% of the base management fee and incentive fees, subject to any reduction or deferral of any such fees pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.
If, on the last business day of the calendar year, there are Excess Operating Funds, we will use such Excess Operating Funds to pay the Manager and the Sub-Manager all or a portion of the outstanding unreimbursed Expense Support amounts for each share class, as applicable, subject to certain conditions as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. Our obligation to make Conditional Reimbursements will automatically terminate and be of no further effect three years following the date which the Expense Support amount was provided and to which such Conditional Reimbursement relates, as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.
As of March 31, 2020, the amount of expense support collected from the Manager and Sub-Manager since inception is approximately $1.8 million. The following table reflects the expense support that may become reimbursable, subject to the conditions of reimbursement defined in the Expenses Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement:


For the Year Ended Amount of Expense Support Reimbursement Eligibility Expiration
December 31, 2018 $389,774
 March 31, 2022
December 31, 2019 1,372,020
 March 31, 2023
  $1,761,794
  
As of March 31, 2020, management believes that reimbursement payments by the Company to the Manager and Sub-Manager are not probable under the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.
We have also entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with the Administrator and theSub-Administration Agreement agreement with the Administrator and theSub-Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator and theSub-Administrator will provide us with administrative services and are entitled to reimbursement of expenses for such services. For a discussion of the compensation we pay in connection with the management of our business, see Note 5. “Related Party Transactions” of in Item 1. “Financial Statements.”


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have nooff-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.


Inflation

We do not anticipate that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of operations. However, in the event of a significant increase in inflation, interest rates could rise and our assets may be materially adversely affected.


Seasonality

We do not anticipate that seasonality will have a significant effect on our results of operations.


Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our most critical accounting policies will involve decisions


See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and assessments that could affect our reported assets and liabilities, as well as our reported revenues and expenses. We believe that all of the decisions and assessments upon which our financial statements are based are reasonable at the time made and based upon information available to us at that time. Our critical accounting policies and accounting estimates will be expanded over time as we continue to implement our business and operating strategy. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” of Item 1. “Financial Statements.” Those material accounting policies and estimates that we initially expect to be most critical to an investor’s understandingPart I of this Quarterly Report for a summary of our financial results and condition, as well as those that require complex judgment decisions by our management, are discussed below.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, assumptions and the exercise of subjective judgment as to future uncertainties.

Although we are organized and intend to conduct our business in a manner so that we are not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our financial statements are prepared using the specializedcritical accounting principles of ASC Topic 946 to utilize investment company accounting. We obtain funds through the issuance of equity interests to multiple unrelated investors, and provide such investors with investment management services. Further, our business strategy is to acquire interests in middle-market businesses to provide current income and long term capital appreciation, while protecting invested capital. Overall, we believe that the use of investment company accounting on a fair value basis is consistent with the management of our assets on a fair value basis, and make our financial statements more useful to investors and other financial statement users in facilitating the evaluation of an investment in us as compared to other investment products in the marketplace.

Valuation of Investments

We have adopted, and our valuation policy is performed in accordance with, ASC Topic 820, as described in Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” of Item 1. “Financial Statements”. As of March 31, 2018, all of our investments were categorized as Level 3. Our investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow approach), a transaction approach, or a combination of such approaches, as appropriate. The market comparables approach uses prices, including third party indicative broker quotes, and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The transaction approach uses pricing indications derived from recent precedent merger and acquisition transactions involving comparable target companies. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) that are discounted based on a required or expected discount rate to derive a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors we may take into account to determine the fair value of our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including an assessment of the credit quality of the security’s issuer, relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, illiquidity discounts, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, data derived from merger and acquisition activities for comparable companies, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Our board of directors is ultimately responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of our investments in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Manager, theSub-Manager,policies. management, our audit committee, and independent third-party valuation firm. The determination of the fair value of our assets requires judgment, especially with respect to assets for which market prices are not available. For most of our assets, market prices will not be available. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of assets that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the assets may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such assets, and the differences could be material. Because the calculation of our net asset value is based, in part, on the fair value of our assets, our calculation of net asset value is subjective and could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of its assets were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such assets. Furthermore, through the valuation process, our board of directors may determine that the fair value of our assets differs materially from the values that were provided by the independent valuation firm.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

We believe that we are properly characterized as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and expect to continue to qualify as a partnership (and not be treated as a publicly traded partnership or otherwise be treated as a taxable corporation) for such purposes. As a partnership, we are generally not subject to U.S Federal income tax at the entity level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We will adopt all authoritative accounting standards relevant to our financial statements as required.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory“say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. Although these exemptions will be available to us, we do not expect these exemptions to have a material impact on our public reporting and disclosure. Because we are not a “large accelerated filer” or an “accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, and will not be so long as our shares are not traded on a securities exchange, we are not subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, because we have no employees, we do not have any executive compensation or golden parachute payments to report in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of:

the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more;

the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering;

the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion innon-convertible debt; and

the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. We will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by ournon-affiliates as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (ii) been a public company for at least 12 months and (iii) filed at least one annual report with the SEC. The value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

The JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we are choosing to opt out of that extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We anticipate that our primary market risks will be related to the credit quality of our counterparties, market interest rates and foreign currency changes.changes in exchange rates. We will seek to manage these risks while, at the same time, seeking to provide an opportunity to shareholders to realize attractive returns through ownership of our shares.

Many of these risks have been magnified due to the continuing economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; however, while we continue to monitor the pandemic, its impact on such risks remains uncertain and difficult to predict.

Credit Risk

We expect to encounter credit risk relating to (i) the businesses and other assets we acquire and (ii) any potentialour ability to access the debt financing we may obtain.markets on favorable terms. We will seek to mitigate this risk by deploying a comprehensive review and asset selection process, including worst casescenario analysis, and careful ongoing monitoring of our acquired businesses and other assets as well as mitigation of negative credit effects through back up planning. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur, which could adversely impact our operating results.

Changes in Market Interest Rates

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Our debt investments are currently structured with fixed interest rates. Returns on investments that carry fixed rates are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates,payments we receive from our borrowers, and will not adjust should rates move up or down. However, wethe fair value of our debt investments may be negatively impacted by rising interest rates. We may also invest in floating interest rate debt investments in the future.

To


We had not borrowed any money as of March 31, 2020. However, to the extent that we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds wouldmay increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

Foreign Currency Risk

All of our investments are currently denominated in U.S. Dollars. Therefore, the current portfolio does

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
At March 31, 2020, we were not present currency riskexposed to U.S. shareholders. In the future, we may hedge againstany foreign currency exchange rate risks that could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Although we do not have any foreign operations, some of the portfolio companies we invest in conduct business in foreign jurisdictions and interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us from adversetherefore our investments have an indirect exposure to risks associated with changes in currencyforeign exchange rates and interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates or favorable changes in currency exchange rates.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.


PART II.OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we and individuals employed by us may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our businesses. In addition, our business and the businesses of the Manager, the Sub-Manager and the Managing Dealer are subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings. Legal proceedings, lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings are subject to many uncertainties and their ultimate outcomes are not predictable with assurance.
As of March 31, 2018,2020, we were not involved in any legal proceedings.

Additionally, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending before any court, or, to our knowledge, threatened by any regulatory agency or other third party, against the Manager, the Sub-Manager or the Managing Dealer that would have a material adverse effect on us. 

Item 1A.Risk Factors


We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Prospectus,Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The following risk factors replace and/or supplementfactor replaces the similar risk factors set forthfactor included in our Prospectus.Form 10-K. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our ProspectusForm 10-K and Item 1A in Part II of this Quarterly Report.herein. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The outbreak of highly infectious or contagious diseases, including the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), could materially and adversely impact our business, our operating businesses, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the spread of COVID-19 outbreak has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. Department of Labor, or the Department of Labor, has issued regulations that revise the definitionand global economy and financial markets and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues of an ERISA fiduciary,as yet unknown magnitude and these regulations couldduration.
In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread to over 180 countries, including every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a significant effectpandemic, and on an investmentMarch 13, 2020 the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. Since March 13, 2020, there have been a number of federal, state and local government initiatives to manage the spread of the virus and its impact on the economy, financial markets and continuity of businesses of all sizes and industries. For example, on March 27, 2020, Congress approved, and President Trump signed, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which provides approximately $2 trillion in our shares.

financial assistance to individuals and businesses resulting from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. DepartmentCARES Act, among other things, provides certain measures to support individuals and businesses in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the form of Labor issued in 2016 its final regulation redefining “investment advice fiduciary” under ERISAfinancing and loan forgiveness/forbearance. In addition, the Trump administration has indicated that it may sign additional legislation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is currently unclear how or if the CARES Act or any future legislation would impact or benefit us, but we continue to analyze the relevant legislative and regulatory developments and the Code.potential impact they may have on our business (including our businesses), results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The final regulation significantly expandedoutbreak of the classCOVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of advisersthe outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the scopeUnited States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures, requiring restrictions on travel, and issuing “shelter-in-place” and/or “stay-at-home” orders. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting a number of investment adviceindustries. Many experts predict that the outbreak will trigger a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession.

Outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as the current outbreak of COVID-19, could materially and adversely affect our business, our operating businesses, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Manager, the Sub-Manager and our businesses could be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time. Since certain aspects of the services provided by our businesses involve face to face interaction, the related COVID-19 quarantines and work and travel restrictions may reduce participation or result in a loss of business. Additionally, since certain of the products offered by our businesses are subject to fiduciary standards, imposing the same fiduciary standards on advisers to IRAs that have historically only applied to plans covered by ERISA. The Departmentmanufactured in a facility or distributed through retail stores, a closure of Labor also finalized certain prohibited transaction exemptions that allow investment advisers to receive compensationsuch facility or loss in business for providing investment advice under arrangements that would otherwise be prohibitedsuch retail store due to conflictsCOVID-19 would have an adverse impact on product sales.

The Department of Labor has announced that it intends to issue appropriate guidance in the future that will address the consequences of the disposition of the final regulation. Because the status of the final regulation is still developing and the application of the final regulation remains uncertain, plan fiduciaries and the beneficial owners of IRAs are urged to consult with their own advisors regarding this development.

Our business could be adversely affected if we fail to maintain our qualification as a venture capital operating company, or VCOC, under the “plan assets” regulation under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

We sold and issued our Class FA shares in the private offering and used a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the private offering to acquire our initial businesses. We currently qualify as a VCOC, as defined in the regulations governing plan assets, or the Plan Asset Regulations, promulgated under ERISA by the Department of Labor, and therefore are not subject to the ERISA fiduciary requirementsrisk with respect to our assets. However, if we fail to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a VCOC for any reasonbusiness, our operating businesses, our financial condition, results of operations and no other exception under the Plan Asset Regulations applies, such failure could materially interfere with our activities or expose us to risks related to our failure to comply with the requirements. If no exception under the Plan Asset Regulations applied, the fiduciary responsibility standards of ERISA would apply to us, including the requirement of investment prudence and diversification, and certain transactions that we enter into, or may have entered into, in the ordinary course of business, might constitute or result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. A non-exempt prohibited transaction, in addition to imposing potential liability upon fiduciaries of a plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, may also result in the imposition of an excise tax under the Code upon a “party in interest” (as defined in ERISA) or “disqualified person” (as defined in the Code) with whom we engaged in the transaction. Therefore, our business could be adversely affected if we fail to quality as a VCOC under the Plan Asset Regulations.

Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we will limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any expenses in connectioncalendar quarter to the number of shares we can repurchase with the issuanceproceeds received from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan in the previous quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the sole discretion of our board of directors, we may also use other sources, including, but not limited to, offering proceeds and distributionborrowings to repurchase shares. Our board of securitiesdirectors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Share Repurchase Program or waive any of its specific conditions to the extent it is in our best interest, including to ensure our ability to qualify as a partnership for whichU.S. federal income tax purposes.
