(1)All investments are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. The provisions of the 1940 Act also classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.

(2)The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”) which reset monthly or quarterly. For each such investment, the Fund has provided the spread over LIBOR and the current contractual interest rate in effect at June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, rates for 1M L, 3M L and 6M L are 1.79%, 2.29%, and 2.94% respectively. Due to uncertainties with LIBOR, investments are starting to transition from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”). As of June 30, 2022, rates for 1M S, 3M S and 6M S are 1.69%, 2.12%, and 2.63% respectively.

(3)Percentages are based on net assets of $48,587 as of June 30, 2022.

(4)Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion. The investment may be subject to an unused/letter of credit facility fee.

(5)Of the entire $169,752 commitment to Confluent Health, LLC, $136,650 was unfunded as of June 30, 2022.

(6)Of the entire $138,354 commitment to PDS Holdco, Inc., $4,167 was unfunded as of June 30, 2022.

The provisions of the 1940 Act also classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.

The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. The provisions of the 1940 Act also classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Steele Creek Capital Corporation (which is referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) was originally organized as MSC Capital LLC as a Delaware limited liability company on June 3, 2020. The Company commenced operations as MSC Capital LLC on July 1, 2020. On October 7, 2020, MSC Capital LLC converted to a Maryland corporation. We are a closed-end externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Company will electhas elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

In September 2020, we formed a wholly-owned special purpose financing vehicle, Steele Creek Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), a Delaware limited liability company.

 

Steele Creek Investment Management LLC (the “Investment Advisor” or “Administrator”) is our investment adviser and an affiliate of Moelis Asset Management LP (“Moelis Asset”). We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Advisor who, subject to the supervision of our board of directors (the “Board”), manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. The Company has no paid employees and the Investment Advisor has entered into an agreement (the “Custody Agreement”) to delegate certain administrative and custody functions to US Bank (the “Custodian”).

 

The Company is a financial services company that primarily invests in syndicated corporate bank loans, bonds, other debt securities, and structured products. The investment objective is to generate high current income by investing primarily in fixed income instruments, including broadly syndicated bank loans, structured products, mezzanine financings and senior secured bonds.

 

The term “shares” herein refers to membership interest in the Company prior to conversion.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting - The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the period presented, have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Investment Advisor to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from such estimates included in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Securities Transactions - Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. The trade date for loans purchased in the “primary market” and for loans and other investments purchased in the “secondary market” is the date on which the transaction is entered. Cost is determined based on consideration given, adjusted for amortization of original issuance discounts (“OID”), market discounts and premiums.


26

Investment Income - For debt investments, we record interest income on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Where applicable, OID and purchased discounts and premiums are accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees are deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023, there was one loan on non-accrual status. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, there were no loans in non-accrual status.

 

Expenses - Expenses include management fees, incentive fees, administrator fees, custody fees, legal fees, audit and tax service expenses, third-party valuation fees and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

 

Organizational and offering costs - Organizational costs include costs relating to the formation and incorporation of the business and are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include legal fees and other costs pertaining to the registration statement and the private placement memorandum. Offering costs are deferred and amortized over a period of twelve months.

 

Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Gain or Loss - Realized gain or loss from an investment is recorded at the time of disposition and calculated using the weighted average cost method. Unrealized gain or loss reflects the changes in fair value of investments as determined in compliance with the Investment Advisor’s valuation policy.

 

Cash - The Company maintains its cash in a bank account, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, our cash balance exceeded federally insured limits. The Investment Advisor continuously monitors the performance of the bank where the account is held in order to manage any risk associated with such account.

 

Earnings per share - The Company calculates earnings per share by dividing the net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average shares for the period.

 

Paid-in-capital in Excess of Par Value - The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its shares on a net basis to capital stock and paid-in capital in excess of par value, excluding all offering costs.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under relevant authoritative guidance are carried at fair value or contractual amounts approximating fair value.

 

Investment Classification - As required by the 1940 Act, investments are classified by level of control. “Control“Controlled Investments” are defined as investments in portfolio companies that we are deemed to control, as defined in the 1940 Act. “Affiliate“Affiliated Investments” are investments in those companies that are affiliated companies, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than ControlControlled Investments. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate“Non-Controlled/Non-Affiliated Investments” are those that are neither ControlControlled Investments nor AffiliateAffiliated Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company in which we have invested if we own more than 25% of the voting securities of such company. We are deemed to be an affiliateaffiliated of a company if we own 5% or more of the voting securities of such company. As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, all of our investments were Non-Control/Non-AffiliateNon-Controlled/Non-Affiliated investments.

 

Valuation of Investments - We value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”) as determined in good faith by our Board based on the input of our Investment Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms, and the Audit Committee. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Investments are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations as “net change in unrealized appreciation on non-controlled/non-affiliatenon-affiliated company investments.” Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Publicly-traded investments in active markets are reported at the market closing price. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis (for publicly-traded investments and securities traded through dealer markets) or upon closing of the transaction (for private investments). The cost of an investment includes all costs incurred by the Company as part of the purchase of such investment. The difference between the initially recognized cost and the subsequent fair value measurement of an investment is reflected as “net change in unrealized appreciation on non-controlled/non-affiliate company investments” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

27

We value our investments in accordance with the Investment Advisor’s valuation policy. Valuations are prepared by the Investment Advisor and approved by the valuation committee on a monthly basis.CFO of the Company for each accounting close.

 

Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at the end of the period. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 there were no transfers between levels.


Income Taxes - For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, we have complied with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code and expect to be treated as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. In this regard, we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Based upon our qualification and election to be treated as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, we typically do not incur any material federal income taxes. However, we may choose to retain a portion of our calendar year income, which may result in the imposition of an excise tax.

  

We recognize the effect of a tax position in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740 when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not considered to satisfy the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense or benefit. Penalties or interest, if applicable, that may be assessed relating to income taxes would be classified as other operating expenses in the financial statements. There were no tax accruals relating to uncertain tax positions and no amounts accrued for any related interest or penalties with respect to the period presented herein. The Company’s determinations regarding ASC Topic 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although the Company files both federal and state income tax returns, the Company’s major tax jurisdiction is federal.

 

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and net realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

 

The 2021 and 2020 to 2022 tax years for the Company are not yet closed and remain subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and local tax authorities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which expanded the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging transactions as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In December 2022 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which, extended the effective date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, which is intended to address issues identified during the post-implementation review of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The amendment, among other things, eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on itsthe consolidated financial statements.

  

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, or ASU 2022-03, which changed the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, but the impact of the adoption is not expected to be material.

3. AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

 

Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Investment Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by our stockholders.

 

Our Investment Advisor has agreed to waive its fees (base management and incentive fee), without recourse against or reimbursement by us, for any quarter where net investment income plus net realized capital gains is not sufficient to maintain a targeted annual distribution payment on shares of common stock outstanding on the relevant payment dates of 6.0% based on our net asset valuationvalue per share and has agreed to waive all or a portionshare.

On August 15, 2022 the Board approved the renewal of the base management and income incentive fee, (quarterly)Investment Advisory Agreement which automatically renews for successive one-year periods each September 17th; provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and the capital incentive fee (annually) where net investment income plus net realized capital gains is not sufficient to maintainvote of a majority of the targeted annual distribution payment. The Advisor’s fees will be calculatedIndependent Directors, in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement oncerequirements of the annual distribution payment has been earned with realized income.1940 Act. 

 

Base Management Fee

 

The base management fee is calculated at a maximum annual rate of 1.0% of the average of the weighted average (based on the number of shares outstanding each day in the quarter) of our gross assets (including uninvested cash and cash equivalents) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. For each the quarter, the base management fee is calculated based on the average of our gross assets as of such quarter-end. The base management fee for any partial quarter is pro-rated based on the number of days actually elapsed in that quarter relative to the total number of days in such quarter. On August 13, 2021, the Board agreed to make investments rather than gross assets the basis for their fee to be more in line with the waivers implemented for management fees.

 

Gross and net management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were $414$372 thousand and $845 thousand, respectively. Net management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $143 thousand and $364$320 thousand, respectively. The CompanyInvestment Advisor elected to waive a portion of the management fee and charged management fees on investments rather than gross assets.

 

Gross and net management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were $451$431 thousand and $740 thousand, respectively. Net management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $235 thousand and $409$221 thousand, respectively. The CompanyInvestment Advisor elected to waive a portion of the management fee and charged management fees on investments rather than gross assets.

 

Incentive Fee

 

The Incentive Fee will consist of an income-based component and a capital gains component.

 

The portion of the incentive fee based on income is determined and paid quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, and equals 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly (or 6% annually) “hurdle rate.” There are no catch-up provisions applicable to income-based incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial and consulting fees or other fees the Company receives from portfolio companies) that the Company accrues, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) we have entered into with the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding indebtedness or preferred stock, respectively, but excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the income-based incentive fee accrued under GAAP). Pre-incentive fee net investment income also includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Investment Advisor is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the income-based incentive fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually received. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the Hurdle rate for a quarter, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.


29

The portion of the incentive fee based on capital-gains is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, equals 15% of cumulative realized capital gains from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC to the end of each calendar year, less cumulative net realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. We will accrue, but will not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized appreciation. Also, it should be noted that while we accrue the capital incentive fee quarterly, the expense will fluctuate with the Company’s overall investment results and the expense will be finalized at year end.

 

In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Investment Advisor, we calculate the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in our portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since our inception. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the original cost of such investment since our inception. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the original cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, with respect to our portfolio of investments.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the CompanyInvestment Advisor earned a gross income incentive fee of $76 thousand and did not charge anearn a capital incentive fee. For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022, the companyCompany returned $110 thousand of accrued income incentive fees. This reversal was necessary due to the company’sCompany’s performance in the first quarter of 2022.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company waived a portion of the capital Incentive Fee to pay the 6% priority dividend. Gross capital incentive fees were $95 thousand and $205 thousand, respectively. After the waiver the net capital incentive fee was $25 thousand and $70 thousand, respectively. 

Fee Waivers

 

On February 18, 2021, the Company and the Investment Advisor executed a Waiver Letter (the “Waiver”), whereby the Investment Advisor agrees to waive all or such portion of the Base Management Fee, the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Incentive Fee (collectively the “Fees”) that they would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Investment Advisory Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2020 (the ‘Agreement”) for any quarter prior to a Liquidity Event to the extent required in order for the Company to earn a quarterly net investment income plus net realized capital gains to maintain an annual distribution payment of shares of common stock outstanding of 6.0%. The Company’s performance will impact the amount and timing of the fee waivers.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the Board agreed upon a fee waiver to reduce the basis for the quarterly management fee from gross assets to investments. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 the CompanyInvestment Advisor waived $89$52 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company waived $216 thousand and $331$135 thousand, respectively. This fee waiver will be re-evaluated annually.

 

Additionally, theThe Company’s performance for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 produced realized income sufficient to charge a full management fee. Therefore, this waiver was not used for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s performance did not produce realized income sufficient to charge a full management fee. Therefore, the Company waived an additional $182 thousand and $257$75 thousand of management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company waived $70 thousand and $135 thousand of incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.March 31, 2022.

4. INVESTMENTS

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We value our investments on a monthly basisfor each accounting close at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820, which defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on the investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

 

Investments for which observable market prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value, as determined by the Investment Advisor using the best information available. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Investment Advisor’s own assumptions (including assumptions that the Investment Advisor believes market participants would use in valuing the investment, and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for non-performance and lack of marketability).

 

The fair values assigned to our investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized. Due to the absence of readily determinable fair values and the inherent uncertainty of valuations, the estimated fair values may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.


31

The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily-available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively-quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories (from highest to lowest) based on inputs:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level 1 include listed equity securities and listed derivatives. The Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This may include valuations based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date.

 

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investments. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by the Investment Advisor. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which we have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on.

 

The valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our loans are predominately valued based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized independent pricing service or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt investments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the third-party fair value estimates and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including an analysis of the range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, comparison of recent trade activity for similar securities, and review for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date.

 

There may be instances when independent or third-party pricing sources are not available, or cases where we believe that the third-party pricing sources do not provide sufficient evidence to support a market participant’s view of the fair value of the debt investment being valued. These instances may result from an investment in a less liquid loan such as a middle market loan, a mezzanine loan or unitranche loan, or a loan to a company that has become financially distressed. In these instances, we may estimate the fair value based on a combination of a market yield valuation methodology and evaluated pricing discussed above, or solely based on a market yield valuation methodology. Under the market yield valuation methodology, we estimate the fair value based on a discounted cash flow technique. For these loans, the unobservable inputs used in the market yield valuation methodology to measure fair value reflect management’s best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants when pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We will estimate the remaining life based on market data for the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date. The average life to be used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since many loans are prepaid prior to the maturity date. The interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on current interest rate spreads of similar loans. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the investment.

7. CREDIT FACILITY

 

On October 13, 2020, Funding I entered into a two-year secured revolving Credit Agreement with BNP Paribas (“BNP”) as lender and administrative agent (the “BNP Credit Facility”) providing a maximum of $45,000 thousand (“Maximum Facility Amount”) to Funding I. During the Credit Facility’s revolving period (earlier of the termination by the borrower or twelve month anniversary of the closing date), it bears interest at London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 175 basis points. The Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, Funding I, which it will use to hold the Company’s investments, and a first priority continuing security interest in, to and under each investment, all underlying investments and underlying assets has been granted to BNP to be used as collateral for the BNP Credit Facility. The Company began transferring investments into Steele Creek Funding I, LLC in October 2020.

 

Funding I is required to pay an administrative agent fee equal to $25 thousand per annum and a structuring fee equal to 0.25% of the Maximum Facility Amount paid on the twelve-month anniversary of the closing date. Additionally, an unused fee is payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.70% on the actual daily unused amount greater than 20% of the Maximum Facility Amount under the BNP Credit Facility from April 13, 2021 to the end of the revolving period.

 

34

On April 29, 2021, Funding I executed an amendment to the BNP Credit Facility. The amendment solidified the LIBOR transition to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the planned discontinuation of LIBOR. The amendment also increased the Individual Lender Maximum Facility Amount from $45,000 thousand to $80,000 thousand.

  

On October 28, 2021, the Company executed an additional amendment to the Credit Agreement. Material amendments included the revolving period being extended 36 months, from 12 months to 48 months and the interest rate being reduced from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The advance rate was increased from 67.5% to 70% and expanded to include a triple C bucket with a 60% advance rate. The structuring fee was increased from 0.25% of the Maximum Facility Amount to 0.50% of the Maximum Facility Amount and will be paid in three equal installments (December 2021, December 2022, and December 2023). Updates were made to allow for more flexibility to move capital out of the facility subject to certain covenants. Except as described above, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

On March 22, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement between Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC, BNP Paribas, and the Company as dated October 13, 2020 and as previously amended (the “Agreement”). Material amendments to the Agreement include the interest rate being converted from LIBOR plus 140 basis points to SOFR plus 140 basis points plus 15 basis points. In addition, the Individual Lender Maximum Facility Amount increased from $80,000 thousand to $95,000 thousand and the language and requirements related to the Agreed Upon Procedures provided by independent accountants were amended to be more appropriate for the underlying collateral.

 

On August 23, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement between Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC, BNP Paribas, and the Company as dated October 13, 2020 and as previously amended (the “Agreement”). This amendment contained certain conforming changes that are not material.

The revolving period of the BNP Credit Facility ends on October 28, 2025, unless terminated earlier by the Company. The maturity date of the BNP Credit Facility is the earliest to occur of (a) October 28, 2026, and (b) the date on which the BNP gives notice to the Company, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default that the entire Outstanding Principal Amount of Loans shall be due and payable. The stated maturity of October 28, 2026 may not be extended.

As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there was $86,300$81,900 thousand and $70,380$83,150 thousand outstanding, respectively, and $8,700$13,100 thousand and $9,620$11,850 thousand available, respectively, to be drawn under the BNP Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the BNP Credit Facility had a fair value of $86,300$81,900 thousand and $70,380$83,150 thousand, respectively and a weighted average interest rate of 2.32%6.14% and 1.84%3.17%, respectively. The fair value of the BNP Credit Facility is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which definesapproximates fair value in terms ofbecause the price that would be paidinterest rates adjust to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenthe market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions and is measured with Level 2 inputs.interest rates (Level 3 input).

Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the future, including any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

 

We are a financial services company that primarily invests in syndicated corporate bank loans, bonds, other debt securities, and structured products. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC and intends to electhas elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code. We were formed on June 3, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company under the name MSC Capital LLC. MSC Capital LLC was formed by Steele Creek Investment Management LLC, Moelis Asset and two affiliates. On October 7, 2020, MSC Capital LLC converted to a Maryland corporation (the “Conversion”), named Steele Creek Capital Corporation. On September 3, 2020, we formed a wholly-owned consolidated special purpose financing vehicle, Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

 

Our investment objective is to generate high current income by investing primarily in fixed income instruments, including broadly syndicated bank loans, structured products, mezzanine financings and senior secured bonds. We provide moderate liquidity to our shareholders by offering a quarterly share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2022, noMarch 31, 2023, approximately 114 thousand shares have been tendered through the share repurchase program. Broadly syndicated loans are generally more liquid than directly originated investments and may provide more attractive financing terms than less liquid assets. Mezzanine financings are generally unrated or below investment grade rated investments that have greater credit and liquidity risk than more highly rated debt obligations. Moreover, mezzanine financings are generally unsecured and subordinate to other obligations of the obligor and are subject to many of the same risks as those associated with high-yield debt securities.

Revenues

 

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments we hold and capital gains, if any, on investments. We generally expect our debt investments to bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as LIBOR or SOFR. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. In some instances, we expect to receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we may receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments is expected to fluctuate significantly from period to period.  Our portfolio activity is also expected to reflect the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to our Investment Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead and rental expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below.

Our Investment Advisor is authorized to determine the broker to be used for each portfolio transaction. In selecting brokers to execute transactions, the Investment Advisor need not solicit competitive bids and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available commission cost. In selecting brokers, the Investment Advisor may or may not negotiate “execution only” commission rates and thus we may be deemed to be paying for other services provided by the broker that are included in the commission rate. In negotiating commission rates, the Investment Advisor will take into account the financial stability and reputation of the broker and the brokerage, research and other services provided to us, the Investment Advisor and other customers of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates by such broker, even though we may not, in any particular instance, be the direct or indirect beneficiaries of the research or other services provided and the management fee payable to the Investment Advisor is not reduced because it receives such services. In addition, the Investment Advisor may direct commissions to certain brokers that on the foregoing basis may furnish other services to us, the Investment Advisor and other customers of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates, such as telephone lines, news and quotation equipment, electronic office equipment, account record keeping and clerical services, trading software, financial publications and economic consulting services. As a result of the brokerage practices described above, the levels of commission paid, and prices paid or received by us in portfolio transactions may be less favorable than in portfolio transactions effected on a best price and execution basis.

COVID-19 Developments

41

 

The rapid, worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has continued global economic disruption and uncertainty. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has affected the global economy, the economies of individual countries, and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of the Company and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Company’s investments, and negatively impact the Company’s performance and your investment in the Company.

Taxes

 

We elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually to maintain our election to be treated, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax election, we must, among other requirements, meet certain annual source-of-income and quarterly asset diversification requirements. We also must annually distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders out of the assets legally available for distribution of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, or investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.

 

Although not required for us to maintain our RIC tax status, in order to avoid the imposition of a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the Excise taxTax Avoidance  Requirement.

 

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and net realized gain recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect their appropriate tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

 

We have formed and expect to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries, including the Taxable Subsidiary, which are taxed as corporations. These taxable subsidiaries allow us to hold equity securities of certain portfolio companies treated as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes while facilitating our ability to qualify as a RIC under the Code.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of any offering of shares of our common stock and from cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities, including before we have fully invested the proceeds of the Private Offering. Our primary use of cash is investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders.

 

Capital Contributions

 

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023, the Company issued and sold 67,337 of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share for an aggregate offering price of $615 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued and sold 310,510 shares and 963,427652,917 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share for an aggregate offering price of $3,182 thousand and $10,290 thousand, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued and sold 1,075,820 shares and 1,148,986 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share for an aggregate offering price of $11,808 thousand and $12,608 thousand, respectively.$7,108 thousand. The sale of its common stock was made pursuant to subscription agreements between the Company and the investors, and the issuance of the common stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.

 

Our shares of common stock constitute illiquid investments for which there is not, and will likely not be, a secondary market at any time prior to a public offering and listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. There can be no guarantee that we will conduct a public offering and list our shares on a national securities exchange. Investment in the Company is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to be exposed to higher liquidity risk than would be the case were the securities publicly listed and actively traded.


46

We provide moderate liquidity to our shareholders by offering a quarterly share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2022, noMarch 31, 2023, approximately 114 thousand shares have been tendered through the share repurchase program.

 

As of August 15, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company issued 5,415,2285,710,410 shares of Common Stock.

 

Borrowings

 

October 13, 2020, we entered into a two-year secured revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BNP Paribas (“BNP”) as lender and administrative agent (the “BNP Credit Facility”) providing a maximum of $45.0 million (“Maximum Facility Amount”) to Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”). The Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, Funding I, which it will use to hold the Company’s investments, and a first priority continuing security interest in, to and under each investment, all underlying investments and underlying assets has been granted to BNP to be used as collateral for the BNP Credit Facility. During the BNP Credit Facility’s revolving period, it bears interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. We believe that our capital resources will provide us with the flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities when they arise. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we had an average of $82,683$82,917 thousand and $79,494$76,270 thousand outstanding under the BNP Credit Facility, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had an average of $45,000 thousand and $43,463 thousand outstanding under the BNP Credit Facility.

 

Funding I is required to pay an administrative agent fee equal to $25 thousand per annum and a structuring fee equal to 0.25% of the Maximum Facility Amount paid on the twelve month anniversary of the closing date. Additionally, an unused fee is payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.70% on the actual daily unused amount greater than 20% of the Maximum Facility Amount under the BNP Credit Facility from April 13, 2021 to the end of the revolving period.

 

On April 29, 2021, Funding I executed an amendment to the BNP Credit Facility. The amendment solidified the LIBOR transition to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the planned discontinuation of LIBOR. The amendment also increased the Individual Lender Maximum Facility Amount from $45,000 thousand to $80,000 thousand. 

 

On October 28, 2021, the Company executed an additional amendment to the Credit Agreement. Material amendments included at this time include the revolving period being extended 36 months, from 12 months to 48 months and the interest rate being reduced from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The advance rate was increased from 67.5% to 70% and expanded to include a triple C bucket with a 60% advance rate. The structuring fee was increased from 0.25% of the Maximum Facility Amount to 0.50% of the Maximum Facility Amount and will be paid in three equal installments (December 2021, December 2022, and December 2023). Updates were made to allow for more flexibility to move capital out of the facility subject to certain covenants. Except as described above, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

On March 22, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement between Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC, BNP Paribas, and the Company as dated October 13, 2020 and as previously amended (the “Agreement”). Material amendments to the Agreement include the interest rate being converted from LIBOR plus 140 basis points to SOFR plus 140 basis points plus 15 basis points. In addition, the Individual Lender Maximum Facility Amount increased from $80,000 thousand to $95,000 thousand and the language and requirements related to the Agreed Upon Procedures provided by independent accountants were amended to be more appropriate for the underlying collateral.

 

On August 23, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement between Steele Creek Capital Funding I, LLC, BNP Paribas, and the Company as dated October 13, 2020 and as previously amended (the “Agreement”). This amendment contained certain conforming changes that are not material.

47

The revolving period of the BNP Credit Facility ends on October 28, 2025, unless terminated earlier by the Company. The maturity date of the BNP Credit Facility is the earliest to occur of (a) October 28, 2026, and (b) the date on which the BNP gives notice to the Company, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default that the entire Outstanding Principal Amount of Loans shall be due and payable. The stated maturity of October 28, 2026 may not be extended.

Distribution Policy

 

To the extent that we have income available, we intend to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Our quarterly dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution.

 

We intend for the Company to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, among other things, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each taxable year of an amount at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses (“investment company taxable income”), determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for such calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses (“capital gain net income”), adjusted for certain ordinary losses, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we previously paid no U.S. federal income tax.

 

We currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment, incur a corporate-level tax on such capital gains, and elect to treat such capital gains as deemed distributions to you. If this happens, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if you had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, you would be eligible to claim a tax credit equal to your allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to you. We cannot assure you that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions, and if we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if such distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.


48

Asset Coverage

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Company has historically only been allowed to borrow amounts such that its “asset coverage,” as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing, permitting the Company to borrow up to one dollar for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity. “Asset coverage” generally refers to a company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, divided by total senior securities representing indebtedness and, if applicable, preferred stock. “Senior securities” for this purpose includes borrowings from banks or other lenders, debt securities and preferred stock.

 

On March 23, 2018, the SBCAA was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On October 5, 2020, the Board and the Members of MSC Capital LLC voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio.

 

As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had total senior securities of $86,300$81,900 thousand and $70,380$83,150 thousand, respectively, consisting of borrowings under the Credit Facility, and had asset coverage ratios of 156.3%164.0% and 166.8%160.6%, respectively. For a discussion of certain risks associated with the reduction of the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Company, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Structure — The SBCAA allows us to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Valuation Procedures

 

Under procedures established by our Board and in accordance with the 1940 Act, we value investments for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations. Assets listed on an exchange will be valued at their last sales prices as reported to the consolidated quotation service at 4:00 P.M. eastern time on the date of determination. If no such sales of such securities occurred, such securities will be valued at the mean between the last available bid and ask prices as reported by an independent, third party pricing service on the date of determination. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available will be valued at fair value, subject at all times to the oversight and approval of our Board. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates, although we will also engage independent valuation providers to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that constitutes a material portion of our portfolio and that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once annually. With respect to unquoted securities, our Investment Advisor, together with our independent valuation advisors, and subject at all times to the oversight and approval of our Board, will value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. We intend to retain one or more independent providers of financial advisory services to assist the Investment Advisor and the Board by performing certain limited third-party valuation services. We may appoint additional or different third-party valuation firms in the future.

 

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs with respect to a fair-valued portfolio company or comparable company, our Board will use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist us in our valuation. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in our portfolio, we expect to value many of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had readily available market quotations existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”)820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below.

 

Level 1 – Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.

 

Level 3 – Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessmentassessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.

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

Investments for which no such market prices are available or reliable will be preliminarily valued at such value as the Investment Advisor may reasonably determine, which may include third party valuations;

The audit committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”) will then review these preliminary valuations;

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment that constitutes a material portion of our portfolio and that does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm; and

Our BoardInvestment Advisor will then discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith, based on the input of our Investment Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the Audit Committee.firms.

  

Investment Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition

 

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis (for publicly-traded investments and securities traded through dealer markets) or upon closing of the transaction (for private investments). The cost of an investment includes all costs incurred by the Company as part of the purchase of such investment. The difference between the initially recognized cost and the subsequent fair value measurement of an investment is reflected as “net change in unrealized appreciation on non-controlled/non-affiliate company investments” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Realized gain or loss from an investment is recorded at the time of disposition and calculated using the weighted average cost method. Unrealized gain or loss reflects the changes in fair value of investments as determined in compliance with the Investment Advisor’s valuation policy.

 

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. Interest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received. Interest income and expense include discounts accreted and premiums amortized on certain debt instruments as determined in good faith by the Adviser and calculated using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the underlying cost of the investments and accreted or amortized over the life of the investment as interest income.

 

Management and Incentive Fees

 

The base management fee and the income-based incentive fees are expensed each quarter and payable in arrears. Additionally, we accrue a capital gains-based incentive fee quarterly that is paid annually in arrears. The accrual for the capital incentive fee includes the recognition of incentive fee on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fee is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized depreciation on investments. The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of the Company’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that while we accrue the capital incentive fee quarterly, the expense will fluctuate with the Company’s overall investment results and the expense will be finalized at year end.

Expenses

 

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $1,320$2,054 thousand and $2,308$989 thousand, respectively, primarily related to management fees, incentive fees, interest and debt financing expenses, organization expenses, professional fees, directors’ fees, offering costs and administration and custodian fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $1,070 thousand and $2,100 thousand, respectively.

  

Federal Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be treated, and to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our RIC status each year and we do not anticipate paying any material federal income taxes in the future.

 

Investment Income

 

For debt investments, we record interest income on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. OID and purchased discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized into interest income using the effective interest method, where applicable. Loan origination fees are deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. As of June 30,March 31, 2023 we had one loan on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, we had no loans on non-accrual status.

 

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

 

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

 

Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis method for financial reporting.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments to extend credit include loan proceeds we are obligated to advance, such as delayed draws. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The par amount of the unfunded commitments is not recognized by the Company until the commitment becomes funded. As of June 30, 2022 andMarch 31, 2023, the Company had no unfunded commitments. As of December 31, 20212022, the Company had unfunded commitments of $383 thousand and $2,051 thousand, respectively.$74 thousand.


51

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not expect to have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities. These instruments include commitments to extend credit and fund equity capital and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of June 30,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a total of $383$190 thousand and $74 thousand, respectfully in outstanding commitments comprised of investments with commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans with additional commitments not yet funded. As of December 31, 2021, we had a total of $2,051 thousand in outstanding commitments comprised of investments with commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans with additional commitments not yet funded.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements and has determined that there are no subsequent events outside the ordinary scope of business that require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the consolidated financial statements other than those disclosed below.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we expect to fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is expected to be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. 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.

 

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, 100% of our loan portfolio bore interest at floating rates with 83.1%82.9% (at fair value) having an interest rate floor between 0.50% and 1.00%. The floating rate loans are usually based on a LIBOR (or an alternative risk-free floating interest rate index) rate and typically have durations ranging from one to six months, after which they reset to current market interest rates. Floating rate investments subject to a floor generally reset to the current market index after one to nine months if the index exceeds the floor. For positions with an interest rate floor, we do not benefit from increases in interest rates until such rates exceed the floor and thereafter benefit from market rates above any such floor. Recent interest rate increases announced in the United States have driven the LIBOR and SOFR rates above the floors in effect as of quarter end. Base rates on 100% of the portfolio exceeds the stated floors.

 

Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates:

Down 200 basis points  (2,713)  1,658   (1,055)
Down 300 basis points  (4,068)  2,488   (1,580)

 

Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rates, it does not reflect any potential impact to the fair value of our investments as a result of changes to interest rates, nor does it adjust for potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets in our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and other business developments that could affect the net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations or net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from those shown above.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our quarter ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
